The wind blew strong

Its already Tuesday! Havent started studying! Ok, i’m in holiday mood. Tried to study, BUT i end up dozing off instead. That’s really bad!

Met Terence for supper. We went to Jalan Kayu! Had 3 different kinds of prata. Plain prata, egg prata and prata plaster. haha. I dont usually eat supper, as i’m paranoid about getting fat. I have this theory: “Eating supper will make me grow fat because when i sleep after eating, everything will turn to fats.” But supper was great! I enjoyed it because Terence taught me this theory: “As long as you sit on a chair, and the chair doesnt break, it means that you are not fat.” haha.. I shall eat till i break a chair. Once i break a chair, i’ll stop eating so much. haha. :)

After supper, we took a walk around Seng Kang together. Found a nice place to sit. We chatted till it came to 3 in the morning. 3 words to describe everything: Prata + Laughter + Smile. What more can i say? :)

The most expensive nasi lemak ever

Posted in como le va el trabajo on September 9, 2007 by Nina Lareina Adam
Ok, been working almost everyday now. Full shift a day. Six days straight. I’m dead tired.

I’m so pissed. Had lunch. Apparently, i was looking for a cheaper option. So thought of having nasi lemak. End up, it costed me $6.50. I swear this is the most expensive nasi lemak i have ever paid for. Idiot! SO expensive. Nevermind about that. I told the auntie to remove the fish because i dont like to eat fish. But she insisted that comes in a set and i have to take it. So, i took it. But for what? Take it and throw it away? Wasting food. She can just bloody hell take it and sell it to someone else who eats it. I dont mind paying for the full price, but does she even understand when i said i dont need the fish. Take the fish away!

So, i went to a table and eat that $6.50 nasi lemak. Tried to eat the fish but it was so hard like a rock that it flew across the table. Aiya, dont care. It’s a $6.50 nasi lemak, mind you.

Worked at Isetan for the past 3 days. There was a lingerie fair. Had a partner during the fair. She’s from china. So talked to her in chinese. I’m not that good in chinese. But can speak abit of it. Most of the time, when both of us tries to communicate, we go blank. Because, sometimes when i ask her a question, she answers a different thing.

Like there was one time, when i ask her when is her birthday, she told me she is staying in Eunos. Ok, so i just smile and nod my head. And there were times when i ask her a question, she just said, “ah, yes, yes, yes”. Ok, i got confused. I ask her something and she reply me yes, yes, yes. I wonder if she even understands. Ok, when i ask her where is the stapler, she answered: Ah, yes, yes, yes. So, i went ??? again. Giving me a “ah, yes, yes, yes” wont tell me where’s the stapler!

Ok, apart from all the confusions, we STILL did talk. She ask me whether i have boyfriend or not. What time i’m coming tomorrow. What time i’m going for break and what time i’m going home. Made friends with the aunties there. Walk around, talk around, socialize around. No customers on weekends. Thankfully, its way better than John Little Orchard. I’m bored to death over there. haha.
I did sell, sell, sell! Whee!

Double the treble

Went for Kak Ju’s wedding with Wanting today! She looks so beautiful! :)

After the wedding, rushed back home to get ready for the Mendaki award ceremony. I must say, i was sitting there feeling so proud and motivated. I was really impressed with a few who did double degrees and scored distinctions for both. How did they manage that?! As you can see, it is not impossible. Imagine, some who received the award got 7 As for their GCE ‘O’ Levels! How amazing is that?

My mum and grandma attended the ceremony with me. I wonder how they would have felt on that day.

I told myself, “I would want to do well and come back here again to receive another award. It had been a great honour receiving one now.”
