DATE: Saturday, February 28, 2009 | TIME: 2/28/2009 01:26:00 AM
Time is 1:26p.m.
Just got home from work via taxi. I paid a good $16.50 for the fee. Why i say it's good is coz of the advice the uncle gave to me and Ezan. Currently, we are working at a rate of $3.50 per hour. For Ezan, he has full shifts almost everyday which is 12 hours(Today was 15 hours for him). So he asks us. Is it really worth it? Ten years ago, a cup of coffee costs $0.40 and McDonalds pays $3.50 per hour. Ten years later, coffee costs more than $0.80 but the pay is still the same. It's not because of the economy, it's because we youths are being robbed, pushed around and hassled with.
'You work till late at night and still have to pay this taxi fee. That's your money on transportation for work. Nowadays, Singapore is worse than a communist country. We work and earn. The government takes our money for CPF, Medishield and what not. They invest this money in shares and lose. But it's not their money that's lost, it's our money, our work. It's a shame to what Singapore has come to.'
He had that much to say. I'll never forget what he said. Oppurtunities come and go, you don't get to decide when but you can decide whether to take it or let it go and when you do choose to let it go, then you have lost.

First off, an early Happy Birthday wish to Ezan!
Didn't know turning 17 for him would've been so painful, in my eyes that is. People beating him and stuff. Actually, i don't get why people need to get beaten up on their birthdays. A birthday bash doesn't necessarily mean having to really punch or kick someone. It's really just senseless violence, something which i did not partake in. And that was exactly the same reason why i did not hit Ezan just now while everyone else did. Haiz...
So ok, he got a pretty ok celebration. The first thing was two of his female friends gave him a slice of cake from secret recipe which had his name on it. Then the nonsense and singing of birthday song and the blowing of an undying candle. Haha. It truly was undying coz he blew it like 7 times or so and it kept lighting up again. Of course, it was a joke. The candle can be bought from some shops which i don't really know. After that he got a present from manager and assistant manager. Good for him (:

Finally...
Ok, i booked a chalet for the march holidays. Like finally! Costs $250 for 3 days and 2 nights at Downtown East. What i expect is for people to show up and not go MIA on the days. But that's just me.
So today, went out with Syafiq, Fadhil and Wei to town. Walked around until we came to this Nike ID at Wisma Atria. Wei designed a shirt for his brother as a birthday present while Fadhil made one for fun. Haha. It's not a bad deal, around $50 per shirt maybe? I dunno. Went to Cathay E2 and played Nintendo Wii. It was much more fun than i had expected. Played Wii sports, mostly tennis. The boxing game was so tiring that i think its the first time i sweated so much while playing a game on a console. Went home after that.
Tag replies:
->Ezan: It's ok, i'm no longer a cook you know. Hahahaha.
->Suhaidi: Bagos ah aku ikot2. But not anymore!

Work was....
I can't explain it. So today, i'm the new cook. Sorry people if the fish and chicken that you eat taste different or if you have to wait a few minutes before your meal arrives. I don't know how my seniors do it. To me, they're like super people. Like Shahrul. In one minute, he can dip 55 pieces of chicken plank in batter mix and submerge them in the vat. That's like 1 second per plank! OMG, i really need to step up on my speed. Product wise, it's not bad but still needs improvement. Hehehe.
Anyway, tomorrow i have an afternoon shift(what's new?) but before that i need to go prayers with Ezan. Like finally! Missed out the past three Fridays and that's not good. So tomorrow, i'm the cook again. Hope i don't mess anything up.

My bed couldn't have been comfier.
My eyes started tearing,
like a small stream, they flowed,
still warm from my eyes.
Ahh, what the heck. So i woke up early today, need to go to the doctor. I'm having some difficulty breathing, not sure if it's serious but what i know is that i had problems sleeping last night. And i cried yesterday, don't know why. Haha. I just lay there on my bed and i suddenly started to cry. Not the mourning kind of cry, like silent tears. I doubt anyone noticed. But this does affect me somehow.

How's everybody doing tonight?
So, today is Valentine's Day but i decided to refer to it in a different light.
Singles
Appreciation
Day
Cool huh? But the acronym sounds so sad. So today i had a day off from work and went to Yuhua Primary's field to have soccer. Good thing was that i didn't need to pay to play. Bad thing was i scraped my knee. Ouch! The game wasn't too bad, 5-1 was the score but a good start for a team that was a little amateur. The opponent had Celtic's jersey but they were quite good, least to say they were fit. After the match, went to Hajjaz's shop and hung out there for a while. Haha, he gave us some curry puffs and cakes which were free. Hung out till 9.30 where we went home.
Other than that, i don't think there's anything else. Ezan said the shop was busy today but i dunno. Maybe?

Just got my pay two days earlier,
and man did it reek! It was only...100+? So pathetic but it's ok. My colleagues say that the first pay is usually very very very low but come the 2nd pay day, boom! It'll sky-rocket. Anyway, so i'm gonna start working my butt off even on Fridays. This week has been too relaxing for me. I was put on stand-by for the past two days and on Friday and Saturday, i'm having the day off! No, not coz i celebrate Valentine's but coz i accidentally put Saturday instead of Sunday as an off day. So please understand.
One other thing. I can't think of what to use my money for. I can't buy presents for Dyinie coz it's almost a week past his birthday. Maybe i'll just indulge myself in something. Hehehe. But i can't think of anything. Oh well, who cares right?

Let's go out
DATE: Sunday, February 08, 2009 | TIME: 2/08/2009 09:34:00 PM
Went out with these two.
Wei Sheng and Hajjar.
I have missed them oh so much. It's been so long since we've last seen each other. MSN doesn't count because that isn't really meeting someone, it's more like just talking to someone. Ok, so we met at 12:30 at Popular where i was the first one there(Yay). Then came Wei then Hajjar which is kinda ironic coz i thought guys would've been the slower ones but i guess what they say about fashionably late is true. Not really late i mean. So we took the train to Dhoby Ghaut via WOODLANDS! It was a long ride but not exactly how Wei described it to be. Haha.
Went to Plaza Singapura and ate at Mc's for a while before walking around and settling down at Starbuck's. Freaking cheesecake cost $6 but it was kinda nice though it looked funny. The top was like...ok, maybe i shouldn't say it. Took some pics and then we talked. We got to know about each other and stuff, oh wait, that was on the train back. Haha. Reminisce about secondary years and so on. I don't know why but it feels like it really meant something as in, we got to know who we really are before and after. It was a good experience to sum it up.
Don't do drugs kids.

Happy Birthday Dyinie Aqhari!

I wonder how, i wonder why
DATE: Friday, February 06, 2009 | TIME: 2/06/2009 01:02:00 AM
God i feel so pathetic.
Ok, so i woke up today with an sms from boss saying that i could take the day off from work coz the place wasn't that busy so i felt kinda good knowing that i could rest coz i was pretty damn tired. Around 3, came a call from boss saying that i needed to come to work coz one of the workers called in sick. Just when i was enjoying the day. What's worse, i woke up with a swollen and sore eye. Which i wonder why they call it a sore eye. It doesn't feel the least bit sore.
Work was ok, won't elaborate. Exactly why i won't is because it's just very routine. Do this, that and that we're done. I can't really say that it's fun because it is only fun when the jokes come in. Other than that, pages from Ezan about good looking women and the occasional funny looking people.
If i have to say so, i have a very valid reason as to why i don't have a girlfriend.
Firstly, going in for the catch. I mean, i spend so much time chasing after girls where the results in the end might not prove to be satisfying or i'll wonder why i started going after her in the first place.
Secondly, when i do get the girl, what am i supposed to do? Kiss her? I definitely can't do that. Flowers? Too cliche' which could be disastrous when you ask her and in the event that she says no.
Thirdly, to keep things going. Spend, spend, spend is all you can do whenever you're with that someone. Not only on dining and shopping but the phone bill is gonna reach it's limit and your mom or dad will go off on you. So you see, even when you're working, you'll have cash but then you won't be spending more time with that person and they'll complain, complain, complain.
Lastly, friends. They are there for you whenever you need them so what makes a girlfriend any different? The fact that she's got your heart? Yeah, ok, i'll buy that. But conflict is gonna come up. Not from your friends but yourself. You suddenly start asking yourself who you're spending more time with. It's guilty to leave your friends but then again mean to leave your partner.
So you see, there's nothing for me to celebrate on Valentine's Day. Besides, shouldn't you be romantic and loving to that person all year round? Just one day doesn't set the mood any different. It's just that people want to believe that it's a day of love and crap.
I hope i didn't ruin your Valentines day spirit. If i have, i sincerely apologize.

I feel kinda bad when i'm at work.
I keep making these mistakes that shouldn't be repeated and yet they still do. It's very frustrating and demeaning to see Haizad laughing or scorn at me. But i guess it's good that i make these mistakes, i can learn from them which i hope i do otherwise i'm done for.
Currently, i'm beginning to wonder if i've lost my social life. These past few days i've been busy with work only. The last time i went out was...i can't even remember! Unless you consider going to the gym an outing. Well, i went to gym with Ezan yesterday, the only person whom i seem to see everyday. Ok, not everyday, most of the time. He's overweight. Haha, the machines don't lie Ezan.
Some things i wish to achieve by this coming pay day which is next week on a Tuesday. Get cash, buy games and save up the rest for poly necessities. Other than that, i have no plans. Oh yeah, Hajjar, when?!

8 more days,
To sweet, sweet pay day. I wonder what i'm gonna do with it. Oh yea, i do. Save up for expenses in poly. Other than that, i don't have any plans besides going to starbucks on an undisclosed date. Haha.
Ok, been stressed or should i say pressurized at work. Wait, it's the same. Anyway, been stressed at work that i don't feel like working already. My head hurts. I think it's a headache. Argh! I don't want white hair. Also, came to work light headed. Felt very uneasy and felt like falling to the ground. Haha, not really sure what it is.
Well, at least there was an up-side at work. This woman came to the counter with her friend. Man, did she have the best fashion or what?! And the colour, so attractive. Even the shape and design. Haha. Ezan saw her too and was so distracted that he forgot what to page to me. Haha! Good right?
One more thing, Nia. That's what happened in my life. It's a person i know. The way we first 'met' was very funny. Not your average first impression. Nia had sms'ed her friend but she accidentally sent it to me so i replied to her that i was not her friend and all. She apologised and since then we've been keeping in touch. Almost like penpals but in a modern way. Sweet huh? I have yet to see her though but i do know that she's a malay and going to Singapore poly later this year.
