An-yong!

Ye-seh! Action already la...wanna act like Korean already la. wtf

So yesterday before I start my shift, I decided to pop by Abbey's to get my textbook and workbook. It costs me $90 :(

I better be able to win a debate in Korean after paying that much for a book wtf.

The books are just like those we used to have in Primary 1,2,3 and so forth. Practice writing and reading. Simple exercises.

*****

Last night, I finished work at 4am T__T

And my Monday starts at 8am. T_________________T

Obviously this week I decided to skip my 8am class and just attend ones from 12pm onwards.

We did a wedding for a Asian couple in Heritage Ballroom. The guests all hailed from KL, Malaysia and some from HK.

The bride - errrrr....ok la (very reluctant)
The groom - errrrrr.....no comment (being polite)

The bride wore super high heels and is like a foot taller than the groom. He is a bald guy with glasses and has the voice of Gilbert Godfried.

Ho-hum~~~

It was pretty easy actually. The guests were not rowdy, they drank mainly soft drinks. Not much wine either.

Alkis was super hilarious when he say 'Ou-kay, thang-kiu!' in that Asian accent!!

Ho-In, Ryan, Jenny and I were joking around at the BOH. Ho-In keeps on talking to me in Korean like I understand mahhh...

I call him 'si ba sey kia' the whole night.

After dinner, we had to set the HB for 250pax lunch and set Lvl 4. Easy peasy if it weren't for the fact that we have insufficient cutlery -_-''

Because we have another lunch for 890pax in GBR for the Australia Israel Commerce Chamber where Julia Gillard will be present along with all the other VIPs.

I had to go to Mosaic and beg for saucers and knives and all that shit. Mada-paker.

Don't even know why the sales dept agree to take the functions because they know we do not have enough cutlery for that many people.

And they also do not have enough staff to work as well.

Tiwa was asking all the people who N/A-ed if they can work. We were all like oh I have class and she asked if we can skip them -_-

Actually I would if I only have one class and it is Stats or Events. But today I have 3 classes so no. Education more important *sitayi*.

I was dozing off in class ok! Even though I went to school at 12pm, I still only have like 5 hrs of sleep because I went to bed like 5am.

Poor me :((

Ok. Imma practice my Korean now and crash at 8pm later. Toodles~~

iYiYiYiYiYiYi WTF

No idea if you guys have heard about this lil kid named Cody Simpson but he's supposedly the 2nd gen of Bieber-like 'idol'.

He's 12 and currently hails from Gold Coast. He did a song with Flo-rida and bla bla bla etc.

Anyway, today I was working in Frasers (!!!!)

That Shaaban bah! I already told him I quit right then he was like this weekend is my bday and my wife planned a surprise lunch already and I couldn't find anyone to work. Can you please just do this last shift??

Tiu! The worst thing is last night I did 13 hours in Westin and finished at 4am. And I start in Fraser at 8am.

When I was there, Preston told me this supposedly famous Aussie kid is currently staying in-house and every morning, his parents, him, his groupies wtf, his groupies' parents all come down to Mezzanine and create havoc.

They must have been like 20 of them. Jebus.

The mother came in and demanded us to do this do that like her kid is some superstar liddat. Wanna book the lounge area for a meeting or something. Fuck. It's an open and free lounge area. ANYONE can sit there. Just take your time. Eff.

Yalah, he collaborated with Flo-rida. So what. Bieber got Usher worrrrrr....

Yalah, he won the Nickelodeon Award last night. So what. Still lose to Justin Bieber what. Tiu.

And Preston also told me that when CD and his crew check in the hotel, his dad demanded there to be welcome cocktail and canapes to be served at 11.30pm!

However, when the hotel quoted them the price, they didn't want it coz it was too expensive.

I have nothing against Simpson but just that they came in at the wrong time.

Disclaimer: I do not like Bieber too.

*******

I had my first Korean class today and it was so much fun!!! I have already learnt half of the Korean ABC and can now read and write half of them too!!

Can you believe I met another Bruneian in my class?? He works in a bank here and hails from KB too :))

And there is another Sarawakian from Sibu who transferred to Sydney for his job.

And there are 2 guys who work in Star City. I didn't recognise them until they said so. Then I vaguely remembered one guy from my previous trip there.

Sigh....see. I learned so many things already :)

*cont*

I googled the shoes. And also found Ebay selling many many many pairs of these Lite Skimmer-s.

Unfortunately they do not ship international and they only have black and brown.

I found this picture of the shoes in white. And I have to say it is ugly as fuck.

It felt like Chung Hua Middle School all over again.



Meh.

Golden feet.

So I was shopping today.

I know, I know. Miss Webb said not to shop during sales because it is easy to succumb to cheap things that you don't need.

However, I did pretty well. I bought a total of 5 items for less than $50. And 2 of them are things I actually planned on getting. A pair of aviator sunnies for $13 (as opposed to RayBan's $139! It was on sale. Cheh..I just want the shape mah wtf) and a dress for less than $10. I bought a T-shirt and 2 tanktops because they were cheap :(

While waiting for the bus sometimes, I always see these ads for Ecco shoes. Supposedly the comfiest shoes ever wtf.

And now as I am planning on walking a lot more, I am thinking of investing in a good pair of walking shoes. So there I was, shopping around and comparing prices.

First I tried Birkenstock. Google it and found this outlet store selling discontinued Birkenstocks at a discount.

Found 2 pairs that I like but they do not take online order. Only phone orders wtf. So I sent in an email enquiry.

Anyways, back to today. I was walking past Pitt St Mall when I saw Ecco from the corner of my eyes.

Good walking shoes - comfy. Comfy- Ecco. Therefore Ecco = good walking shoes.

There I saw this pair of shoes.
Truth be told, it's obviously not the prettiest pair of shoes. Looks bland and totally BLAHHHHH. This is just a pic I took off the website. The store actually has them in really vibrant colours like orange, red, dark magenta, turquoise, black and white.

But the minute I slip my feet in those babies, I was in heaven I swear.

The material was super soft, my feet was properly cushioned and I feel like I could walk a marathon in them. Super love!!!!!

I tried on red at first but it was too Ronald McDonald, orange was too bright, turquoise - nah..., black - blah, white - will get dirty easily so I settled on the dark magenta. It's bright but not garish.

Again I asked myself - do I really need a $200 pair of walking shoes?

I mean, I use the $25 black shoes from Kmart for work and it has served me very well. As opposed to the super high quality ones Jasmine and Julie bought from Myers which cost like $100+ yet they still have to replace it after like 6 months.

They didn't have the colour I wanted in my size :((

The SA said she could order one pair for me but it will take abt 2 weeks before I get it.

So I walked out the store, still thinking abt the shoes. 20 mins later, I went back and placed the order.

Oh well. No turning back now. Comfy shoes, I shall wait til you arrive in my arms *excited!!*

******

I got my payslip today and Westin forgot to pay me for my Thurs shift which is 10.5 hours.

Luckily I keep track of my hours otherwise $200+ will go into their pocket just like that. Hmph.

******

Oh yeah, my uncle is also coming to Sydney this week or next week I'm not sure. I think I will take them to Westin for breakfast/brunch. I never had breakfast there. Only WORKED there before. Should be good :)

Thanks Genie.

As I was lying in my bed this morning, I thought to myself

'Wouldn't it be nice if I have just one day off where I have nothing at all planned for the day? No work, no school, no lunch/dinner with anyone. Just me staying at home in bed all day'.

Well, wish granted.

Becoz on my way to the ferry wharf, I saw a msg on Facebook sent by my Events lecturer saying 10am class is cancelled!

And although I have Stats at 3pm but it's 3pm. No way in hell I'm going to school for that class only. The lecturer doesn't take attendance anyways.

So here I am right now.

What to do for the rest of the day?

OMG Part 48340

There's so many ways to love you...wtf.

Ok. So I have officially resigned from Fresh. Before I told you guys I wanted to resign but never actually did because the manager wouldn't let me go. He said 'oh u've been a great help to me and i don't want you to resign. let's talk about the times you can work soon ok'. Like wtf right!

But it's a good thing as I learned from today's HR class - companies will do nearly anything to retain their good employees. So this means I'm good and that's good FTW.

Before this, I usually do Saturday mornings because I want to allocate most of my time for Westin. As of late, I'm feeling a bit tired and I just don't want to work there anymore.

Whenever the manager text me asking if I can work on Sat, I will give him the 'very sorry but i can't do this sat'. He'll be like 'oh it's alright. don't worry. maybe next week'.

I swear this went on for 3 weeks. Until I cannot take it anymore so I sent him a text saying I have extra classes and am trying to volunteer in westin's sales dept so therefore i can only afford to keep one job. Cruel.

But a girl has got to do what she has to do.

To be honest, I am thinking either volunteering in westin sales dept or star city's sales/banquet dept.

Will update if there is any good news.

********

Regarding the Booty Camp, ..........................................................................


Nothing much to say coz obviously it was a big fat failure. I paid $250 and only utilize $125 wtf.

Damn sien one bahhh!!! The minute the 7th class was cancelled I knew I was going downhill. It was cancelled due to rain. Ok.

Then the following class after that was missed because I had group meeting or something like that.

Then the 2 subsequent classes were missed again because I was very very ill for a week remember?

And of course, the final 2 classes just slipped down the drain la fuck this shit.

So here I am again. On a brand new fad diet. Smoothie diet.

Don't expect too much.
