Huge ass lecture.

My CNY was extremely frustrating with tiny bits of happy moments.

I was working in banquets for that 750pax breakfast which was fun actually. I got paired up with Nora again and we met about 4 more new faces.

Turns out the Ryan Kim that joined us is the one from ICMS as well wtf. He used to be with this Korean girl, Rani who is actually pretty nice but dresses like a sl*t FTW. I dunno them at all. Like we're not friends.

I haven't seen them in college for like 2 years so I just assumed they left/quit.

However, yesterday Ryan suddenly asked me if I'm still in college. I was like 'yeah'. He says he'll be back for Term 5 -_-.

We all signed off at 1pm then Natalie and I went out to Chat Thai for lunch and did a bit of shopping in Westfield which is 30 secs from Westin.

I got myself a top and a pair of shorts. I don't usually wear bright colours for shorts/pants/skirts but this pair is a bright pumpkin colour with fine prints on it. I paired it up with a fluffy pleated tank top and tucked it in.

It's actually looked decent (as in I don't look fat). And it was ON SALE!! So yeah. $40 well-spent.

After shopping, Nat and I went back to Westin for our second shift of the day T______T

We were both doing double shifts that day. I was supposed to finish at 10pm but again that super mahai Micheal came to me and say 'Lesley, can you please please stay until 11pm? We are really short on staff'.

Of course, I had no choice. Once I signed off at 11pm, I went up to the locker room just to hear my phone ringing. It was a missed call from dad.

Shitttt. I returned his call and at first, it was all kinda happy wishing each other HAPPY CNY and shit. Then he asked if I received the money he transferred for my tuition fees and all the other stuffs.

I was like yeah but I had no time. Then he proceed to give me the longest ass lecture on how I should at least take 1 minute of my time to inform them that I got it and not keep them waiting and blabla.

I admit it was my fault because I hadn't inform them and it's a habit I shud change. To me, it's like if I do not call, then everything is fine. Because if there is something wrong, I will DEFINITELY call.

Then my dad sorta implied that I don't even care to call them on CNY. As for me calling them to what we Chinese call 'pai nian', of course I remembered. Do you think I would such a ungrateful daughter to not even remember her parents on CNY?

But the timing was so shit. Wednesday I was working from 6am-4pm then off, my bro and I went to Jia Wei's place for dinner at 6pm. My bro stayed over at JW's place and called my mum at 12am on the dot to greet her.

I couldn't coz I will have a long day tomorrow and need to sleep early. I meant to call them after I finished at 10pm. Which in Brunei time is only 7pm. Still not too late to greet them.

And yes, I could have called them during lunch time but I was with Natalie and you guys know how long these calls can be. First, you greet your parents, then they pass the phone to both grandmas, then aunties, uncles, bros and sisters. Like it's pretty rude to keep talking on the phone when you're with someone, you know.

And that stupid Micheal! If he had let me signed off by 10pm, I would have been able to call back first instead of my dad calling me. Then they wouldn't feel like I forgot them or something.

I was so tired and a little bit sad when my dad was lecturing me on the phone in the locker room. I was not even out of my uniform yet.

Oh well. I am working again tomorrow in Lobby Bar at 2pm. Taking over Nat's shift. And I got 3 shifts in banquets next week Mon-Wed. Which leaves me Thurs-Sun to prepare for Term 8. Zzzzz.

Happy CNY!

Before the day actually passed, I would first of all like to wish everyone a very good and smooth CNY.

Because tomorrow I'll be working from 7am to 10pm T_____________T

Mosaic was desperate for anyone to work, they couldn;t find anyone! I was sitting in the Mosaic office acting like supervisor wtf with Ronald calling everyone in bqts to ask if they can work.

Ronald said I should be a supervisor. Pfffttttttt (secretly delighted wtf)

Anyways, we finally got Pisai to fill in the empty shifts and I also took one which is tomorrow night from 6pm to 10pm.

Mosaic couldn't get anyone because everyone that is not on holiday is working in bqts as we have a 750pax breakfast for Australia Property Council.

Today, we worked with 4 of the 9-10 new staffs. We have Kay (who is actually a guy), Thomas, Sunny and Nora.

It's a pity Rainie left because she would make the perfect pair with Sunny wtf lameeeeeeeeee.

Sunny is Korean, Thomas is Aussie and Nora is German. She taught me how to say 'I miss you' in German so I can repeat it to my love wtf.

Today we all started work at 6am which means I have to wake up at 4.30am which is super sienssss one.

So we'll meet all the other new staffs tomorrow with that huge breakfast and I shall give another update soon <3

*****

Btw, I will be attending Jun's farewell dinner on Sun. Jun is this Korean guy who is 31 but looks like 21 working in Mosaic. Recently I have gotten reallll close to him because we just clicked like that wtf.

Why IS IT ALL THE PEOPLE I LIKE ARE LEAVING????

URGH.

Maybe will get some pictures for you guys.

Jokes Jun and I share:

Jun: My full name is Nak Jun Park.
Me: Jin-ja??
Jun: And my sister's name is National Park.
Me: *2 seconds* LOLLLLLLLLLLLL

Me: Shit is 'tahi' in Malay.
Jun: Really?
Jun: So I can say 'Holy Tahi'??
Me: Shi-baaaaaa! LOL

He's cool :)

Have an awesome weekend!!

Being healthy!

It's my third week of 'dieting and exercising'. Must say it is getting harder wtf.

But I do like it a lot. There are so many benefits!

Looser clothing, low level of fatigue and best of all better skin!

The other day, I was just in IRD when Yulia came up to me and asked what skincare I changed to. She noticed an improvement in my skin! Although I did change my skincare and makeup to all 'oil-free', I prefer to believe that it is due to the healthier diet wtf.

******

Oh My Buddha! I can't believe CNY is only 4 days away!

To be honest, I didn't even know CNY is that close until I saw a fren's update on FB.

Man....it just doesn't feel like it over here in Sydney. I don't have my mum fussing over which soft drinks to buy or how much tidbits to last the entire festival.

Also no one to push me to get new clothes for the occasion. In fact, I am working on both CNY eve and 1st day of CNY. Like I said, I didn't know CNY falls on 3rd Feb ok!

It's ok! I'll just wake up an extra 15 minutes early before work and pretti-fy (wtf) myself for the occasion.

Hopefully my love will say Gong Xi Fa Cai to me and give red packet (or a kiss i'm not picky wtf).

********

Anyways, it was Nat's bday yesterday and she celebrated it at La Cita in King Street Wharf. Think South American food and salsa dancing.

Btw, I came across lotsa restaurants in KSW and I really wanna try them. Coz we always go to Seoul Ria, Wagaya, Chat Thai, Szechuan Hot pot wtf.

KSW has some Mongolian BBQ, Teppanyaki restaurant, good Australian seafood restaurants with awesome views.

Once I'm sorta finished with my healthy diet wtf, I will spend a week trying all the restaurants there! Excited!

And here are pictures from that night. Wasn't a lot.

A pic to show you my dress. I bought it from ASOS for US40! It look so awesome on the model so I tried my luck. Paid off! It was so flattering ok.
Giovanni and I.
Nat and I. Didn't realise that we were all wearing the same colour tone.
Us again.
Nat, Dean and Andrea.

Nat and her bf, Micheal.
Toodles~~

Mrs Walter.

Been a long time. As always, nothing much is going on except I've been working and finally going to the gym.

I went to 'pump and tone' and boxing.

In pump and tone, you basically do exercises using weights. You know the kind which body builders carry? Yeah, that one but you get to choose how heavy the weights are so it's all good. I really like it coz the instructor carries out the session in accordance to songs. So like one routine would be equal to one song. And we all know how time easily flies when you are listening to catchy and upbeat songs.

Boxing was horrible. It wasn't like a all-girls class coz I went there at 12pm. The instructor was super cuteeee *flirtatious wtf.

I got paired up with a Aussie guy and I swear he beat the crap out of me. He hits so hard that my palm still hurts! Bitch.

I think I might stick with this gym :)

*******

So I've been working right....and everytime my love would always greet me and talk to me. However, yesterday it seems like he was ignoring me. He did say hi and all that but he was MIA the entire time and he just seems so different!

But I think it's just because he was extremely busy that day coz he had a meeting with the GM, the Director of F and B and since he is the exec chef, he had to be there?? I guess. But he looks so handsome while in the meeting *swooooons

So I was very upset plus it was that time of the month summore. AND AND AND! I burned my hand with boiling water because I am so stupid that I couldn't hold the teapot properly while filling it up.

All that mashed up = Lesley finally cried.

Like wtf. I couldn't control it! The tears just came. My hand stung, I felt like shit and my love wasn't there! Luckily Natalie and Akiyo were there to comfort me.

A few hours later, I asked Nat if I looked like a bitch when I cried wtf.

Anyways, we all signed off at 4pm and then Nat was like Keeven they all are going for dinner and karaoke at 5pm, you shud go!

Me being the wet blanket was like 'Nahhh, I think I wanna go home. Besides I'm on diet, do not want to mess up my diet plan and I don't do karaoke! That is too Asian. wtf'.

But I still went in the end and guess where we had dinner?

CHAT THAI!!!!!

I swear to God only Chat Thai can make me happy. Nothing else! Only Chat Thai. Should I stay in Sydney after graduation, the only reason is Chat Thai (and my love).

After Chat Thai, we went karaoke-d! I didn't sing at first but then they had really awesome songs so we started to sing along and the rest is history! I guess I am very Asian afterall!

We sang to Thai songs, English songs, Indon songs, Spanish songs, Korean songs and it was heaps fun!! I realised why I hated karaoke all this while. I think it's because of the people that I hang out with. They are usually a bunch of Chinese girls who love to sing emo Chinese songs.

Even if they chose upbeat Chinese songs, I can't sing as well because I can't read Chinese so cannot sing along. If I chose English songs, they don't/can't sing along (wtf) and in the end, I end up looking like a fool singing by myself.

Just a few examples of the songs we sang to last night :

It's my Life - Jon Bon Jovi
Mambo No.5 - Lou Bega
I Believe - some Korean artist
Na Na my girl - some Thai artist
5,6,7,8 - Steps
Wannabe - Spice Girls
Cup of Life - Ricky Martin
Bunga Anggerik - some Indon artist
Dynamite - Taio Cruz

Holy shit....I might just turn into a karaoke addict (nooooooo..).

********

So today I was in the lift when door opened and I saw Jun Ju and Adrian. Immediately Adrian was like tickling me and calling me 'Mrs Walter'.

My heart dropped when I heard that because Chef Martha is in the lift too

T________________________________T

She is a very nice European lady who works with Chef Walter too!

She gave me a cheeky grin when she heard that and I swear at that moment, I wanted the lift cable to just snap so we all can plunged 10 floors down to the end!

That Adrian bah!! As if he didn't say it out loud enough, he had to keep repeating it.

"Mrs Walter! How are you today, Mrs Walter? Mrs Walter, Mrs Walter, Mrs Walter"

I seriously do not know how to react when I see Martha at work tomorrow.

:(

The man with the leopard print G-string

The pimple on my forehead still would not die and keeps violating anyone who looks at it.

I put toothpaste, my clay mask, my face scrub tried everythinggggg. Still here.

******

So if you remember, I have previously blogged about doing room service and having all these weird people who open doors in their birthday suits. Jeez.

Let's add another story to that, shall we? Before I start, lemme explain a few details.
1) Runners do get a master key which they can use to open every single room in the hotel.
2) Not all rooms in a hotel are the same obviously. The particular room I will be talking about is the type of room in which when the door is opened, the bed is the first thing that greets you.

8.35am - IRD picked up an order for ice bucket to room 612.
8.40am - Lesley the fool got sent up.
8.43am - Now at room 612's doorstep. Rang bell 3 times. No answer.
8.44am - Opened door carefully with master key and continued knocking on door.
8.45am - A man walked past the bed wearing what seems like a very tiny pair of leopard print thong.
8.46am - He saw me and quickly dodged to hide behind the wall but unknowingly to him, I still can see his entire ass -_-.


OMG!!!!

That minute was the longest I have felt in my entire life. My emotion quickly turned from frustration to fear to shock to embarrassment to just OMG I want to fucking die right now.

After he hid behind the wall, I quickly backed out of the room due to the sudden unpleasant surprise. And I continued to talk to him thru the door wtf.

"You ordered a ice bucket, sir!"
"Oh..just leave it outside"
"Yup, I will leave it outside. Bye"

Wow, awk-warddddd.

As I start to walk away, it suddenly dawned on me that if I can see his entire ass with no panties string cutting into his fatty ass, then he must have been totally naked!

And the "leopard print thong" was actually his pubic hair. Damn, it was thick. Didn't think I saw any penis at all. Maybe there was but since I had zero hours of sleep last night, I was operating on zombie mode. Might have entire overlooked it.

I mean, cmon! I might have a crush on an old man now but that doesn't mean I enjoy watching naked old men because I do not wake up everyday and wonder what my love would look like naked ORITE! It's just wrong on so many levels.

Thank God he did not make a complaint and say to Mr Burns like " I was just walking out of the shower this morning and that girl with the hugeass pimple on her forehead barged in and caught me naked! " .

Ow, that would be terrible.

To be honest, these encounters happen quite often (to other people as well). We have a Scottish girl named Allison and one day, she was delivering amenities. The guy in the room must have been sleeping in his undies and didn't realise that one of his balls was hanging outside the undies.

And thus, he opened the door. With one ball on full display. But I find it hard to believe tho. Guys are SUPER sensitive towards that area, trust me. To have that would be like having one ball in lukewarm water and the other in icy cold water. How can he not felt that?

Anyways, there are plenty of stupid people in the world.

And I wonder what I'll see next.

Why am I so LAZY!

I don't usually do new years resolution because it's just like a topic people can use to write up a blogpost wtf.

Btw, this massive pimple on my forehead is killing me right now. It is sooo big that even har gao also lose ah.

Back to topic. So yeah...usually I don't really tell people what I plan to do. I mean yeah I do sometimes but that's because I just like to talk or write (typical).

Like I told you guys I'll be doing Spanish in Jan right , now got or not? Also don't have wahhhh.

The thing is I almost never finish what I started. To be honest, if school was a voluntary thing with no teachers and no need to graduate/pass, heck I don't think I'll make it past Primary 1. The only thing that I always finish is the food on my plate. -_-

But this year I want to be different. Not like making up certain tasks which I will finish but my goal, wait scratch that. Goal is too vague.

My OBJECTIVE this year is to stick to whatever I'm doing for at least 1 month (gotta start small).

How's that? I think it's pretty fair.

This month, I plan to save up hardcore (like super hardcore, think at least 5K by end of this year). My concentration is on saving up each month, not the 5K at the end so maybe i'll end up with less or more than 5K). So if I do this for 1 month, then another month, another month, so on.....then it should be ok. I mean so far, I have saved 1K. So it shudn't be hard ;)

OKayyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I'm going to work now and hopefully my semangat won't die ten minutes later.

My love for gingers.

Not the ginger you slice and put in your cooking.

Red-heads.

Anyway, on Sun I dunno what happened but all of a sudden I felt the strongest motivation to diet and exercise.

I have wanted to find a pool for the longest time but was lazy (honest).

Then Rob was telling me that the Ia Thorpe Aquatic Centre is just like 10 mins walk away. I was like wtf! why didn't you tell me earlier and proceeded to flip him the bird (everyday).

I woke up late on Monday and only got to the pool at around 1.30pm. I got in the pool and started swimming in the slow lane. By the time I reach the halfway mark, I was SO out of breath FTS.

I was so tired! I mean yah the pool is Olympic sized pool but the least I can do is finish 1 lap rightttt. Nope! 1/2 lap only.

Then I had to shamelessly hold on to the lane divider and pull myself to the end.

:(

Ohhhhhhhh holy mother of goddddddddddddddd. Why is this happening!!!

I love swimming so much but now I cannot even do 1 lap without looking like a loser T___T

Then the entire time I was there I only did 4 laps and the rest of the time was spent bombing the pool with this little ginger girl.

It was random. After finding out that I am useless even in the slow lane, I moved to the free play lane. Was standing in the water when this little red-headed girl started jumping into the pool near me.

She came up and gave me a smile. I smiled back. Then she started to talk to me.

Her name is Emma and she is 4 years old. I freaking love her hair ok. It curls naturally and it is the pretty kind of curls not like small spirals which is super auntie-ish.

I saw that she was with a 'can-be-considered-old' man so I asked "Are you here with your grandpa?". To which she replies "What grandpa? I don't have a grandpa". I pointed to the man and she said "Oh, that is my dad". I was like "Holy shieeet, this is awkward. I hope her dad didn't hear me".

WTF! Why these things always happen to me one!

So yeah, we became pool buddies in like that 1 hour where we bombed the pool, monkey bars, racing (she wins of course wtf) and chasing.

Her older brother Alex (who is SIX btw) joined us after his lessons and again we're playing in the pool like crazy.

I told her I was getting my nails painted and she wanted it purple and purple it was! A deep purplish wine colour (I love them!).

I wanted to go back there again today the same time (altho her dad warned me beforehand because he was afraid Emma is going to annoy me agn) but I was working and finished way later than I was supposed to.

Oh wellsssss. She is such a cute girl, I think I will definitely consider adopting a ginger baby in the future :)

This is definitely related but that incident with the whole grandpa/dad thing makes me wonder if IF IF la, I married a much older man and have kids, will the same thing happen to them as well? I mean Emma said her mum is at work while I see her dad is accompanying the kids to the pool on a Monday. But maybe he's a successful businessman who doesn't have to clock in routinely for work like the rest of us do.

Life is full of different paths and decisions. But I think I know what I want.

******

Today is my first shift back in banquets in 2011 wtf. And my love is back too <3<3<3

Looking charming just as always :)

Did 7 hours and realised that I need to step up my game because I was a bit lost today. Worked too much in Mosaic and had it too easy up there. Wasn't mentally ready for the usual banquets shift.

GoGoGo!
