Here comes 2010!!!

It has been almost a month since I started working at Seoul Garden. I have gained alot of happy moments and I made alot of friends from all ages. Ok... telling you this basically won't help. Let me elaborate furthur.

I learnt alot of things there. Such as how to sort out the cutleries into their various places, how to change hotplates when requested by customers how to set the tables and last but not least how to prebuss. However, the downside of this job is that the hotplates were quite heavy and it is not suitable for a female to carry it. But no choice, we still have to do it. Besides, my colleagues there were friendly. They really welcome me from the very first day I worked there. It's only that I need some time to know them better.

Most of them are seniors,though. They have been working there for quite some time, say about 3 years. For some, it is a bit longer like 8 years. I think they started working ever since CWP building were there. The funny part happened when they mistook my face with a chinese girl. Maybe I am born fair. Actually it is kind of a compliment to me. I like it! Not only them but some of the customers too.

Another reason for working there besides earning extra pocket money is to look at cute guys. You know what I mean??? "Eye Candy" at work. I should admit that mojority of the males were good-looking. They are very presentable and very gentlemen. I am so proud of them.

After working there for a few days, I kind of find my "eye candy". His name is Hazri. He is cute and quite decent-looking. I shall not reveal his age as you will not believe the numbers that I type. He is very honest and he likes to do good deeds. I miss him everytime when he is not at work. But at least I got his number so that I can text him when the need comes. If I marry someone like him, I just want to cuddle him all day long. He need not work. What am I thinking??? Am I going crazy or wat??? What if he is in the relationship??? Then I would not have stand a chance.

My friends might be thinking, what about Daniel??? Well, he do not exist in my life anymore. But sediments of his love is still resting at the bottom of my heart. It is still painful, no doubt. But life has to move on... I cannot be hoping for miracles to happen.

So, 2010 is approching soon. Which means that there will be new resolutions and new actions taken. I shall continue this on my upcoming post. C ya....

Badae Present...

First and foremost Happy 17th Birthday to myself. Presents??? Nope I dun receive any but it's ok. It is not a "must" thing. But I think god is the one who give me my present. I had gotten a job at Seoul Garden. It is da best present that I had ever received so far.

Anyway, I enjoyed working there even though it is my first day. The environment is very cheerful and enjoyable. Everyone work together as a team. Sounds familiar right? Yes it sounds like my past SJAB life. We work together towards the motto of "One 4 all, all 4 one". There, I work as a runner. The name itself sounds bizarre. Let alone the job scope itself.

Basically what I have to do is to collect all the washed cutlaries to their appropriate place and to top-up food when they run out. Simple but yet tiring. It is like a mad house. What's more during peak periods. We as stuff are always looking forward for the restaurant to close.

I made alot of friends from both genders. The are friendly people and able to accept new comers. They are not stingy to teach new comers the procedures. Furthemore, I willing to learn new skills so it's fit's the whole thing. For break time we dun have to worry cause food will be provided.

Before we went home, there is like a briefing, in my school they call it the"OHMS", riversidians will know what I mean. Following that we get to eat the leftover buffet. That alone really help to cut down on my expenses. That's great you know. After that we go home together. Since today is my birthday, it's ok right to make a birthday wish??? Ok... I wish that I get to work here long enough. Secondly, get to meet all my sjab frens, seniors, ms ong and to go out with them. Thirdly, to get good "o" level results and lastly, to go to a good polytechnic. Insyallah......(Imagine a cake with seventeen lighted candles on it) Pho..... Ok I blow it already. He...he...

Ok, that's all for now folks. Until then, see ya. :) Got to get some rest for tmrw's work.

Hey, its me again. I am writing today cause I want to give my point of view on prelims. The usual norms is that people find it very difficult for da prelims but later on they will do well for their o levels. As for me. I feel that my school prelim paper is doable and it depends on the amount of effort put in by each individual students.

Personally, I felt that I have not put in my maximum effort yet. I think that because I am still in "playing" mode but I must really wake up before it's too late. After the prelims, there is no more trial exams for to try on. I don't want to gamble with my exams especially o levels. It will determine my future...my career... and above all my life!!!

Back up Shahidah!!! I can do it!!!

Mock exam period is over... june holidays here i come...

Today is the last day of Mock Period. It has been a nightmare sitting in the freezing library and the 4/7 classroom. But at least there is a few good things that happened during the whole week and I kind of enjoy it. On monday, we already planned to revise geography. Wow... Mr. Koh's assignment is piling up day by day. Nevertheless, I still must find a way to get it over and done with. What to do? As an O level student I cannot just ignore work that is given to me rite? In the library, I sat with my classmates, all of them are chinese except me. How sad. I wish that the rest of my malay classmates to join us as well.

As for tuesday, we revised on chemistry. At least this spark my enthusiasm a bit. After revising this subject I personally felt that this subject is worth to score distinction. As it is very straight-forward. All one needs to master is the basics of each chapter and wala...distinction is under your control! Except maybe if people think that the practical is the one that pull down their marks than I might somehow agree with them. I should confess that my practical wasn't that good too. I can only get to meet the rest of my friends during recess time which is within the 45 min duration. During the first day already we have missed each other so much. Inference: This shows that my class is bond and can't bear to lose one another.

Alot of things happen when I was with them at the library. After all, samantha and gang is ok to hang out with. They are nice people, those that can make you laugh when you are feeling down, those that can perk your day. Tired of revising we automatically switch to playing the "murdere game". It was fun, though, playing with them. I only find difficulty for those "small-eyed people" cause I cannot diffferentiate whether they are blinking or not. This game need me to stare at all my players.Moses and Roger also stared at me. They always gave me that kind of stare that can sting your eyes!

Now term 2 is over and june holidays are starting. I received my june schedule already. It is very pack especially like, 3 hours of physics practical (no way!) and 3 periods of english lessons(come on people.... get ALIVE!) From now till june, sayonara....

March Holidays: Mersing Trip

I had just came back from the mersing trip.It was tiring though. Nevertheless let me start telling the story...

Together there were 4 families going for this outing. My family and my cousins of course! Our mode of transport was cars and van. Knowing that my parents do not drive any car, my uncle decided that we rent a van so that my family can still follow to the outing. The day before the outing, my mom and granny had already occupied themselves with the food. It was known that they were in charge of the food whereas my uncle was assigned to be in charge for the games. There were variety of food until some of it we were unable to finish it.

The van was okay though even it is quite stuffy but when we open the windows, it helps a lot. The journey from s'pore to Mersing was about 1.5hours. I didn't get bored in the van cause there was a lot of food to eat. We also kinda race with the rest of my cousins ( da F1 version). During the journey, my cousin vomitted on the van cause the road was very meandering and bumpy. At one point of time, the seat in front almost came out. What a bumpy roller coaster ride that we experienced!!!

By the time we reached to the Fishing Bay Resort, it was around noon. We were quite restless and lethargic after the ride. After our room keys were being issued, we quickly get inside and jump around, excited cause we have reached our destination. Our suite was and open-concept one. The weird thing is it is equipped with air-conditioner at the same time a fan. You can imagine how cold it is at night. After settling down, my siblings and cousins jump into the pool as it is very humid. I did not join them as I am having my menses. Instead I watched them play water polo and became the judge. My cousin, Fairuz was sitting beside me. He too did not like to swim in the humid weather. We chatted and laugh when my siblings do stupid actions.

Not long later, my mom and granny came. They rolled up their pants and dipped their legs inside the lukewarm water. It was a nice feeling actually, leg therapy. Seeing them bathing can be quite boring and unproductive. I followed my mom to snap some photos so that the outing would be a memorable one. My granny went back to the room to get some rest while Fairuz joined my uncle for fishing.

The scenery from our chalet was very inviting. It is the picturesque of an open sea with a broken jetty. It was like one of those pictures that you can find on postcards or wallpaper however the difference is that I could experience it with my vary eyes. How wonderful isn't it?

In the late evening, the BBQ pit was ready and we could enjoyed our dinner in the open sea. There were an abundance of food. In fact there games later on with attractive prizes waiting for us. Everyone was sporting enough to join the games. Conversely, the men whom went fishing did not managed to get any fish.

The next day, we packed our things and left the premises before noon. I seriously enjoyed this outing. I want to go again...pls....:)

<<<~ Post CT1 Reflection~>>>

CT1 had recently ended, last week to be exact. I am grateful with the results that I have gotten but I know I can do better. For example, for Chem if I had brought in my calculator, I think most probably I will get an A1 or something...

As for the rest of the subjects I did fairly well. Moreover, I am very happy with my SS results cause I think that the highest marks that I hav ever gotten. The sucess behind it is utter memorising the content that all. At least I am still alive after the exam. I always thought that if I memorise everything from the notes, I will end up getting brain damage or serious migrane. I can see that Ms Ong was happy when she marked my script and it's obvious. I also can see that improvement in myself. That's the major thing rite?

So after knowing all my marks and stuff like that, what is my next step???

Well, of course I will work even harder for better results. I will still stick with my goal setting. Also I will not repeat the folly mistakes that I had made during CT1. (i should know what it is) As for Prelims, i know it's gonna be tough cause it is the norm. However, I will put in my best and more for every subject.



Things to do after CT1:

1. attend focus study in term 2 diligently
2. stay attentive during lessons (not passive)
3. ask questions after school
4. do TYS as much as possible

All da best for e next exam... :)

<<< TeRRenganu TrIp>>>

During the last 4 days, most ppl, especially my chinese frenz would have spent their day visiting their relatives.As for me, I spent my CNY hol differently. My mum thought since it was a long-term holiday, she decided that we go somewhere far,like Malaysia(Terengganu). Luckily there is enough tickets at a last minute booking.

My aim to go there was to have a look at da crystal mosque that has been built not quite a long time ago,say 1 year. Before the trip I heard that the magnificent sculpture of the mosque has improved the tourism rate there. That's a gd sign for their country.

I took a coach there so the journey to our first rest point is at machap. It took 1hr15min there. On the way there, I made use of the privileged that I was sitting near the window. I could not pull my attention away from the lush green scenery upon the window. Sugar cane,coconut plantations if I could remember vividly. Also, I managed to see some tropical rainforest along the way. As I observed, I recite the different layers that were found in the rainforest and try to spot each and everyone of them. Geog students should know... This makes my geog lessons more familiar and meaningful to me.

One of the activities listed in the itinery was the boat ride to the 14 different islands at 'Tasik Kenyir'. I was told that the island belongs to the poor pple in that state. It was true though, they were mostly fishermen earning a living by the boat ride. I managed to talk to one of them about they well-being and he said that majority of them living there were on the verge of poverty. Seriously, I cannot carry on. It is so sad to think about it.

Nevertheless, the boat ride were fun and challenging. We had to fight with the heavy drizzle and the choppy waves. Feel like going to the edge of the boat and doing the 'titanic pose'. Lol. We persevered on and we stop da first island which is the islang of herbs. There were about over 2000 species of plants which have their own medicinal value. Each plant was noted by its name as well as its functions to health. Going much deeper, they built a small cottage for the tourist to try some of their herbal drinks. There were two types: "Tongkat Ali" (for men) and "Kacip Fatimah" (for women). What they did was to chopped the bark into smaller pieces and boil it.

Although the Kacip Fatimah has a pungent smell and disencouraging colour, I still tried it. After that I took some photos of the tree can read more about its functions. Functions: Gd for menstrual problems, after childbirth, bone problems, flu, fever and to increase sexual desire(a bit obscene). Dun worry, I don't get excited after drinking it...

After that we visited another island which are fond of their fish farms. When I reached there, a few hectares of net had been set up to house their catch. There were many types of species but I only remembered one which is Talapia. Although there were 12 other islands remained unvisited, we only have the time to know the dominant ones.

In the late evening, we check-in to Ming Star Hotel and rest before dinner arrives. Guess wat, there is Secret Receipe outlet near the hotel. I helped myself with the "Tom Yum Kung" dish at secret recipe. I cannot stop from drinking the soup. It was too delicious too decribe. You guys should try it out! As sourvenir from the shop, I bought chocolate indulgence and tapao back to my hotel.

The next day we went to the crystal mosque, the highlight of the trip. I could only believe after I see it for myself. A mosque floating in the middle of the lake, with its dome wrapped with black crystals, giving out shining reflection with the help of the sun. It was sunset then. Imagine the beatiful panorama in your mind.

Lastly, I would like to say that my trip was worthwhile and no regrets. I enjoyed myself there and I don't mind going there again if opportunity was given to me.
