FA & FA

So, had 2 FA today, for IWG and BFH. And I passed both of them, I'm officially competent in both handling customers and hygiene practices;) certified by NEA too, really hope I can get my cert soon soon soon!! It's pretty cool getting a cert from like a government establishment? Didn't know that in order to work in a F&B outlet, you will need to go through BFH training and the FA in order to be allowed to work by law!

Had the FA with Rayen today. Nice seeing him again and catching up, hopefully we can hang out tgt again along with the friends we made during IWG training:)

This week is gonna be a really busy and crazy one. Work tmr then Friday results, Sunday wedding. Poof, like happy sad then happy again, a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Still not feeling the results yet but I think I would soon, like on Thursday. Or maybe because I've already settled down my uneasy heart and convinced myself to accept whatever that comes because I totally deserved it. Le sigh.

Anyway I really dislike people labeling me as a JC student, and a TJC student in fact and go 'smartttttttt'. They'll be like so awed and assume that I'll be smart and able to accomplish anything. 'oh you'll do fine!!' or 'TJ leh, surely you know how to do this this this right?' and stuff like that. You know, I do get it, like okay you're from RJC smart kid, or you're from HCI epic smart kid.. But I really am not, and people need to stop assuming. People need to realise that they ARE dumb kids in GOOD school and well and behold, I'm one of those kids. Nvm, no one is gonna read this anyway:/

Work tmr at expo!! Kinda looking forward to it though it'll just be me and jean and the whole empty halls and
Foyers at expo;) haha. But I think there'll be lesser crowd so that means I will be able to finally learn how to make EB and cashiering! Hehe super fun, I think being cashier is fun!:D don't get why Farhan and Jean don't like, shall ask Jean tmr!

And dear god, please please please don't transfer me to another branch!!! I don't want to go somewhere else which is new and I don't know anyone there:/ sigh. Okay that's all for ranting.. I keep forgetting if I blogged about certain stuff alr or not, zzz-.-

Need t sleep soon otherwise I'll be zombie again for work tmr!!!

Expo+BFH

Work @expo ytd was busy busy busy due to nantas fair, watsons sale and baby fair or something! Worked from 3-10, but finish everything around 11plus. Made a few mistakes here and there too but really lucky that the customers are all forgiving and nice! Phew! I really need to get my act together and also speed up doing drinks at work!!! Don't want to disappoint Jean and Farhan, later they disown me:'(

Anyway really love working with both of them! They're super annoying yet funny at the same time. Jean loves teasing me and even more when Farhan bullies me. While Farhan hopes that I would burst into tears one day and just quit-.- don't know how true is that though, but it's a pity cause moving to expo would mean no more Farhan, and cyndi too:( I miss cyndi so much!!!

She looks so sad at CCP especially with the 2 managers.. When I went t get stuff from CCP ytd we finally talked and did some catching up and it sounded like time there really sucks:/ sigh wish we could all still stay at CCP tgt and work:'( Ohoh!! Finally met Kai too, who cyndi claims is the only one who she can talk to at CCP but I think Kai is also being attached to various branches. He's nice but really weird, I mean.. He treats me as though I have some disease or something-.- he would say 'eew, I don't want sit with you' and move his seat away!! Omg super shocking, given that that was only the second time I have seen him? And the first time was that we only said hi? Haha! Do I really look like I have some disease?!:O

Oh and some other funny stuffs at work. Like how Jean and Farhan would always say 'NO PUT IN YOUR BAG AND BRING HOME' when I ask them where is the huge rubbish chuck or where to put some stuff. I mean I'm really new here and I really don't know!!! Then they will look at me as though I'm stupid and Farhan would say 'You've just proven the JC theory' sigh. Need to buck up, especially me at work! Otherwise Farhan would put whipped cream in my bag.. When I tried to talk back to him he really grab a bottle of whipped cream and headed t my bag, though I doubt he would really spray. LOL:P

Before I forget, I also got to know Ariana who works at T2! She's super good at like everything and really nice too. Surprisingly she studies at GVSS which is like beside my house and she stays super near me, like walking distance:)


Ah and BFH training today!:) super tired though because I has to like wake early and I slept really late last night too:( so throughout the whole class I was dozing off but Sam was really nice, I really like her:D she's like one of the best trainer I've met, super friendly and all. Also one of the first few people who could remember my name so quickly;) oh and kimchi, Dina and the managers were also here for the BFH so it was a mini reunion from IWG. Think Dina, Aisha and a few others are going to have IBEB class tmr so it's gonna be another mini IWG reunion! Hehe really awesome to make friends with fellow CBTL people, one day I should really go to their workplaces to visit them! and we should hang out together sometime soon.

Work@expo tmr again! Think it would be packed to the brim because it's the last day of nantas fair!! Everybodehhhhhhh please come CBTL and find me, I'll make nice nice coffee for you to drink;) pinky promise.

Gonna sleep soon so that I'll be super perked up and alert! Need to read through the EB in case I'm called to help out. Okay nights everyone!! This is going to be a long and tiring weekend, yawns~~

Y U SO ?!

Are you fucking kidding me?

Just throwing some fucking lame reasons just to pacify me! What is this, for god sake I am already 18, not some dumb 3 year old who can't even take care of myself. Can't you tell me the real reasons why? None of your so called reasons make sense to me, because they can easily be countered.

No money? I've a job

No time? I'm having holidays now

Not safe? You know who I am going with

Not like you've never been there? So now what, if I've gone to Malaysia once I should never step foot in there again? What logic is this!

At least fucking look at me and have a serious conversation with me like how adults do for fuck sake. Don't expect me to buy your excuses and reasons again this time just like that. The last time you used 'being jobless' to say I should not go Taiwan. K fair enough and I totally understand, so I didn't go. Now I got a job, and a job that I love and plan to be committed too. True that the pay is like shit but it is still money.

I am now spending lesser than compared to when I was studying. Seriously??? No money? I said I was going to use MY money to go. All you have to do is nod your dam head or have a real adult talk with me and reason with me. I am not going to back down easily this time.

Sorry I really cannot understand you. And fucking pay attention to me when I talk to you. Before you lose the respect I have for you.

Fuck man. I can never stay angry for long and I think I am a really good kid who doesn't disobey authority. FML FTS. But I really don't wanna go down this time just like that, it doesn't feel right. Fuck trust and respect. It's time I really follow my heart and for you to finally realise that I AM A ADULT. I can fucking make decisions that I WONT regret.

I must maintain my stand this time.

IWG

IWG training for the past 2 days and it was goodgoodgood!! Made new friends, which was quite surprising because I really didn't expect it. Thankfully though, it's nice to make fellow CBTL friends. Especially when there are so many outlets in Singapore, hohoho, maybe next time I'll know someone from like every district in Singapore, okay a bit insane, keeding~~

Learnt alot of stuff and had role playing, its fun! I realise I do quite enjoy being hospitable and working in the service industry, but it's only for 1 week so far so maybe its a little too early to say? haha. Having an assessment on Monday, then if I pass I'll be qualified as a pro;) Okay not exactly pro pro but at least of certain standard? Plus, its cool that you can get cert on your job isn't it?

SIGH HAVING INTERNAL WAR NAOOOO FML. Obligation towards my job and promise to my friends to hang out. What is thisss._. Okay but everyone I told about this matter all said that I'm overreacting, like it isn't that serious. It's really not? holy crap, maybe I am really too serious towards this job, obligationssss.

And its all someone's fault. Always is. Eat food!!! Y U KEEP MESSING UP MY LIFE?! ugh..

I give up. I'm just gonna go out, anyway I should relax, been 'working' the past 2 days. And the kings are back too;) hohoho, finally. And the new song is epic, I can feel that it would be applicable to how 'messed up' this portion of my life is right now. I'm singing my blues~~

Teacher. Older Brother.

Burnt

Job training today was fun and pretty cool, much to my surprise. Kind of made new friends, CBTL is really a huge coffee brand in Singapore, seems like there are millions of other colleagues that I've yet to know. And it's also really cool how people know people, like how working for a few months you would know everyone who works at CBTL in the vicinity branches.

I need to stop thinking that Singapore is only made up of the East and Central side-.- I seem to really NOT know places/malls in like other parts of Spore. I need to get my ears checked too, keep being unable to hear what others are saying.. Either they are really soft or my ears are really not working anymore. Really loving the job now though, but I think I gotta be more sociable, gonna have to throw away my 'face' and make more friends shamelessly, LOL. Otherwise I'm gonna be a loner if I were to be attached to another branch:/

Finally this week I'll have some time to myself, shall stall driving lessons for a while first, heh. Need to know my schedule for my following week too, and when A level results will be out. le sigh. Not a good thinnngggg yooo, especially when you already know how you're going to do. Going to get annoying soon.. shit my ears are starting to hurt again.. owwww:'(

I need a great escape.

Tired.

Yawnzz. Not enough sleep and really tired, physically. Stood all day and helped out at expo today, quite crowded but it was fun, at that point of time.

Back at CHP, everything was full of tension, sigh. Work today wasn't all good, even worse is that I'm not gonna be working till Friday, how now brown cow:( feeling so !!!!! And idk why.

Training on mon tues and sat, effing far, bloody bukit merah. Singapore should be smaller than a small dot, sigh angsty much today.. Really quite a bit of crap at work. Things weren't suppose to become this way. Don't see any light in this situation, feels like its my fault._. Fml. Fts. Having evil selfish and bitchy thoughts now..

Someone should dig a hole, fill it with ice water and soak me in it till I'm numb and Cold. So cold that I'm unable to have any feelings and care about the world...

Forever.

Chalet!

Blogging from some chalet at Pasir Ris park right now, seriously don't know what's the name of this place just that it's neither aloha nor costa sands:/

Surprisingly fun though, drank abit and gambled abit. Best part was BBQ though, been a long time since I last had them;) sigh its 4am here already and I am still stuck here.. No room/place for me to sleep and I have work tmr at 5-.-

Ugh, need to hurry go home then sleep and get ready for work. Have to go memo some stuff for the drinks too , crap. Brain not functioning well anymore.. A bit seh alr, usually don't stay till this late anymore.

Been breathing alot of smoke these days, not good at all:/ don't like going home reeking with smoke, alcohol is better. Ohwells, that's life I guess!

Shall head home soon and crash:) its really late now..

Driving #2!

I officially like driving now!;) I realise today that actually all my fears and worries were unfounded. Made rounds around the circuit and slowly getting used t clutching and changing of gears:) must psycho myself to love driving so that I'll have a positive attitude towards it and also enjoy myself. Did I mention that it poured heavily today, again? Ugh! Really have affinity with rain and driving eh..

The instructor today was better than my previous one, hehe. But too bad, requesting for a instructor is super expensive so I guess I should not:( he is super cool though, he knows 11 'languages' including dialects. He said I looked super blur and that he would want to fail me if he were my tester for my practical test, le sigh. Probably due to my geeky specs. Now I either look like I'm gonna cry or a sotong-.-

Chalet tmr, BBQ BBQ BBQ!!^^ good food like finally after a week of work and lessons!;) working on Sunday too, hope it would be good good good! And next week seems like its packed with training and work, sigh, doubt I can fit in a driving lesson.. Shall ask my manager for my following week schedule and slot in some driving lessons!:)

No wait.. Following week.. Is A level results week right? Fml. That means I would be super busy and can't work over the weekends and Friday:/ got a wedding to attend too.. Oh no. Sigh, looks like I need to have a talk with jean:(

Okay time for bed! I think this blog wouldn't be so dead anymore after all if my life continues to be this interesting:)

First night shift!:)

Okay blogging from my phone now cause I can't seem to fall asleep and yet too lazy to switch on the laptop:/

Work today was good too:) since it was my first night shift, i had to learn all the various ways to clean up and what stuffs need to be done etc. phew, really alot of hard work!! But it was fun, and a bit slack too because of karma as Farhan said.

Managed to take back some cakes because they are 'expired' alr and cannot be served to customers but still edible. Brought back a bagel from Starbucks too because they decided to give us, awww!:) that's why it's important to have nice neighbours and be nice to your neighbours too;)

Still being 'bullied' at work and teased but getting the hang of it and also getting revenge;) really sad that this would be my only week with them, like barely got to know them and I have to transferred out. If only Jean could stay at CHP then we could all stay tgt:( and when Sara comes to work next week we can be colleagues! But ohwells:/ that's life!!

Another manager today, think his name was siyaf? Told me that I am entitled to a transit pass meaning I could work at airport transit terminals!!!!*skips* but he said it sucks working there but seeing that I was so excited and happy he refused to tell me why-.-

Okay can't really remember anymore stuff, next shift will be my last one, on Sunday and it's my night shift again too! Hopefully it'll be good, supper ?^^. Kekeke

Driving lessons tmr again, I'm terrified petrified horrified and whatever synonyms you can think of, don't know why either but I guess it's because of the lack of familiarity and all? Hopefully tmr I'll master the art of driving and come to be more confident!:)

And oh holy god, please let the clouds hold it in and not rain!!!:( don't wanna get drenched again before my driving lessons. Le sigh:/

Nights!! to whichever souls that Even drop by this space:/

Vroooooom~

First driving lesson today and I'm terrified. But I think I'm really lucky because my instructor is super patient and nice to me. Even though I am like some motorskills handicap and totally lack confidence in myself-.-

I think I almost killed and crashed the car today.. but it wasn't my fault:( Because the steering wheel moved on its own!! *innocent eyes* Think I'm super unlucky though because it was pouring today and I took a long time trying to find out where the car is.. Well at least I've tried starting and driving/reversing:) keke even though I'm still a total noob at it especially moving the car forward but I'm gonna master it!!!

And I never knew driving was THISSS tiring.. My legs felt sore like as though I wore heels, or maybe its because I didnt put them properly? sigh:/ Hope next lesson will be good though, keke!:)

Work tomorrow, night shift! Hope there won't be many customers so can close shop earlier^^. Feel like reporting to work earlier though because it's fun and Jean would be there! She is gonna leave at 4 and some other manager would take over, don't know who is he but I hope he'll be nice:X Kinda worried, hopefully Farhan or Cyndi is working same shift as me or I'll be a lonely girl who don't know anyone there:(

Okay, dinner time!!:D

And maybe finish up Runningman eps later, heh.

Feel like my life now is really fulfilling and happening, at least for this week there are no days which are left for me to be idle at home!

Day 2!

I LOVE WORK!!!!!:D

Soooo, it's Valentine's Day today!!:) Everyone is going off in pairs holding hands carrying roses and gifts and here I am serving coffee. I'm #foreveralone.. No wait, I've got coffee with me and you can add tea to that list too, but honestly no regrets with working today!:)

First awesome thing that happened to me today was that I met my cousin!! It was quite epic because it was Valentine's Day so I was asked by Jean to give out samples of Berries Ice Blended. Since CCP was near to the Changi Industrial area, and my cousin was working there I met her! Like I didnt even knew she was working there, mad awesome happiness *beams* I was like bouncing and shouting with joy like a retard with a tray filled with drinks-.-And my cousin friends were so stun by me and was like 'Omg why does she keep bouncing?' SIGH THATS WHY IM FOREVER ALONEEEE:'(

Anyway, think my cousin is coming on Thurs to visit me during my night shift! yay, happy kid!:) hope she does!!

Next next is I learnt a few more stuffs today too, and also tricks on how to remember how to make the IB;) Its super stressful though, like I'm always afraid that I would make the wrong drinks or press wrong orders when I'm at the cashier... It was quite funny cause Farhan was making drinks and I had to man the cashier but the guy wanted to pay by card and I was like 'SHIT HELP I DONT KNOW'. Totally panicking and like freaking out, then the customer was like 'oh you put the card in the machine, yes.. no no the other way.. yup.. then you type the price...' and he ending up teaching me how to use-.- Really lucky I get nice customers:) And those who don't mind my mistakes, like how I accidentally left the tea tag in the cup and the customer was like 'No worries, I got it'. And customers here are usually foreigners, Muahahaha;D

Really like working here, supposed to knock off at 2 but only left at 5plus. Think all my colleagues were surprised that I enjoy working so much and gave me 1 week to start getting sick of it. It's really awesome, can learn how to make all the different drinks, cashiering and also chatting with my colleagues. They are all full of rubbish, whole day lying and tricking me so I dont know what to believe anymore-.- So I also decided to crap along with them.. And I got to eat CoffeeBean lunch again! And also ice mocha latte!(Y) and also choco coated beans.. keke, it was super bitter and dry. Got tricked again-.-

OHOH! Today the big boss of CBTL came down and he is really supersuper scary!!! It's like he asked me why is this drink good and I was so shocked cause I just came back from sampling so I was like 'I don't know' and he totally went 'YOU DONT KNOW?' ohmygawd. My soul left my body and entered space... :'( But I still managed t smoke through after that, heh;)

Tired from standing all day and my heel's skin is gone, super pain:( Driving practical tomorrow, super nervous for it yet a bit excited! Hope it will all goes well!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL AGAIN!!!!

P.S

Cheers to those fellow singles out there! If you're attached, too bad, go ask for a toast from your bf/gf instead!

First Day of Work

Been a long time since I last posted but today is significant because its my first day of work!!:D As a barista, whooo hoo!

Okay I know it isn't really a pro resume job and like pretty much saikang job but its really fun! Afterall, this is the last time I can work for fun and not as a career and stuff. Reported for work at 9 and the manager taught me how to make all the ice blended series! It was pretty cool as I could try all of them when she made it and I kept drinking the Mocha IB since it was my favourite, heh:) But it was pretty scary and stressful when I actually MADE them for customers because I still feel insecure and like not really confident that the drinks will taste right?

Got sent on errands too. First to expo branch to get some coffee mix then to Century Square branch to collect some posters, and free drinks by right. But the person refused to give me:( Best part was my transport fees were provided, super cool and it was funny travelling around with just a phone and ezlink in hand, super insecure and was my first time doing that too:|

The staff here are super nice too! The manager kept forcing me to have a break and asked Cyndi to cook for me CB's sandwiches. Then while they were packing and arranging the cake, they gave me a slice of blueberry cheesecake:D and when I mixed up a order of Mocha IB, I could drink the one that I mixed up for lunch, since it would be throw away if no one drinks it. It is really super fun and awesome, didnt wanna go home, felt like staying and working till the shop closes even though my shift ends at 2pm.

Gonna have work tmr from 9-2 again! Must hurry recap all the IB recipes because Jean is gonna test me tmr.. A bit scary because there are quite alot, coffee base, milk base and fruit base! But I guess it's a good experience!:) I need to learn how to serve cakes too, super scared to serve them cause the cake slices feel like they are all stuck together and its pretty hard to put them on a plate:( Hopefully I'll never screw up and get scolded!!! I think I got a pathetic face because the manager asked me if I'm a crybaby which of course I'm not;) ohoh! and its super funny how the staff all ran and hid in the kitchen when Cyndi accidentally broke the plates, but it was really scary too. The crashing sound that is..

OKAY IM SO TIRED RIGHT NOW! Should rest soon!

I LOVE WORKING!!!! Its so exciting!:)

Hopefully nothing changes!
