Keep holding on

Stories to share with you.

Monday was busy at work. I think it was because not enough staff working at night shift. Yurong, Rong Rong and Me plus Santa only. Yes, I was running around the outlet as if Haagen Daz's was my shop. haha!

The girls were very tired but they still put in a smile to the customers. This is what I called good service. In fact, I heard Rong Rong got a good comment from (Customer) a cute girl's mother. An incident occurred! Ice Cream Cake's display freezer didn't break down, it was human error that caused 21 cakes melted and almost became Milk Shakes.

I pity the cakes, their life was short. When I went to throw away those melted cakes behind the back door, I was staring at it and it reminds me one sunny day that I caused 20 Cans of ice cream melted in front of my eyes.

Tuesday was fun. Finally, I get to play soccer after two weeks. haha! Even though two weeks was not long, I felt that I love playing soccer with my haagen's colleagues and friends. My mum know I going to play soccer on that day! haha. Every tuesday soccer right?! She asked me in chinese. And let's talk about the Lemon Quest! haha. After soccer games, I had to eat Lemon for punishment because the guys had some "Small betting on Champion League's Final"

LIVERPOOL kicked off first! I'm the first to know I lost. haha! It was fun to play such games. I was stupid to think that lemon has sweet taste. Not to forget about that day's event, I got a chance to try out Rong's cupcakes. It was nice and I'm curious where she got the rainbow sprinkles.

Kelvin the soccer's expert was sick recently and he couldn't join us this week. Hopefully next week. =) Time will not wait for us. (Talk about my enlistment later)

Sidetrack, after work on wednesday. Before I went for soccer games, Zarina, the manager asked me to help her massage her back. She was not feeling well too. Hope she recover soon.

After the sentosa trip, many customers thought I was malay. I was too tan and it was not really good for health (Uncle David's comment).

I reached home after soccer games, I started to chat with my dad. I started the conversation like telling him I want to work with him. haha! But ended up lectured by him for two hours. My sister even gave my dad a cup of water to drink. It is very true not to let parents worried about me and I can just share with them happy stuff. Right now, I must look far ahead of me but slower move on.

Today, I got a call from CMPB again. They said my enlistment date (September) will changed to July intake. I think this time is real. Letter will be send to me soon. I felt that my army enlistment stuff has a lot of "drama", so many problems compared with my friends. Athena comment was I will be like Midnight Cookies and Cream (colour of the ice cream) after my BMT training. -.-'''

Army life is coming soon. When is the date to quit Haagen's job?! When is the dates to meet up with my friends before I cut botak?

Do I have time to train back my 2.4 km record time?! Ende I need your help. haha! A professional Track & Field runner.

Do I have the time to study my english?

Its all depend on me.

This few days my stomach was not feeling ok. Whatever food I ate, minutes later I would have big business in the washroom. That's why this few days, my meals was very simple. It is a sad thing. =(

I went to meet paul at Orchard Road, he went to change the size of his Coma's T shirt. It is nice and funny! haha. Leslie bought it for him. Cool!

Later Diana, Yurong and Rong Rong joined us. We had Ramen for our lunch at Plaza Singapura. And we went for a movie. Blades of Glory! It was a comedy movie and I laughed loud like nobody business. haha!

Edmund joined all of us after the movie. Full of enjoyment when edmund told us his workplace's stories. I so called introduce them a place to crave for beancurd, it was along Selegie road. Well, yurong went there before too. Bus 7 to Holland Village not Bus 14. haha! Luckily I got the message. =)

I had a great help from leslie, he extended at work to closing even though he need to wake up early for his music's job. An eve of public holiday is always busy.

The mask's girl. Thanks for everything!

Take care.

Ende Vs Shaun Chen, Lim Yee Chung

A friend of mine look like him! Believe it a not. =)

I found out that I always put the same smile for all my graduation's photos. -.-''

Chalet (23 May to 25 May 2007)

We had organised a simple outing at Chervon's Chalet. All of us just went there to relax and had a good chat together. This time we were quite lazy to prepare BBQ food haha! So we ordered through online's services.

Thanks to Jimmy! Don't worry, the food is cooked. Delicious.

Dinner time.

Different style of playing Playstation.

(Style 1)

(Style 2)

Andy and I conquered the Television. haha! We simply seat there and played Winning Eleven 10 (Soccer game) for the whole afternoon. Thanks to Asath, he brought the PS2 for Chalet.

Well, we also watched movies like Goal, Wedding Planner, Lord of the Rings etc. As usual, andy liked to tell jokes to us. And I respect him in some way that he went home at about 5.30am from chalet because he got to accompany his mother for check up. A filial son. =) Oh yes, Thanks to Jia you. She lent us some stuff for BBQ.

Second night, We went to IMM for our dinner at Burger King. On the way there, Asath's brother (Hafiz) fall down into the drain. It was quite bad. Luckily, guardian store was still open. =) And interesting part was that hafiz bought candy to forget about the pain.

It still works! As in the burger king's cashier believed I'm still a student without showing my EXPRIED poly Ezlink card. haha!

Jin Jing was very happy to see beer! Thanks to Asath, he brought for us from his uncle's party. And he enjoyed his 100plus while we were drinking those beers.

Asath and I still waiting for our enlistment dates. Jimmy and Andy cutting botak in mid June. I want to go in army earlier. haha! Weird guy.

Life is always up and down.

Everything seems great to me right now.

Firstly, Friends helping me on my english. I really appreciate it. Thanks! I want to organise a BBQ or Chalet for them soon. And thanks to paul for sending my Liverpool's match and he on his computer for the whole night. =) Secondly, I can hear my sister's voice. She has recovered. =)

There are some things that makes me worried. I always ask myself [what if this happen?] [what if that happen?] [What I should do if something goes wrong?] So complicated.

Well, I shall help my dad to work in the weekends if possible. =)

Take care.

SP Graduation Day 2007

Yes! finally it is my graduation day! I was late. Thanks to them, helping me to prepare before entering to the convention hall. I very happy that they waited for me outside the hall. Thanks! I was very anxious when I saw hundred of students wearing the same robe. The 2007 SMIT SP graduands. =)

I'm quite sad that my friend Ricky didin't turn up for the graduation day. Some people choose to collect the certificate from mail post. His seat number is just beside me T32. He was my Java project's partner for the past two semester. Well, I hope to meet up with him soon.

Somebody told me

First thing to announce is that I got Pes C L2 status for army. Which means that I'm exempted for upper limb exercise. I got enchance BMT training which last for 7 weeks only (normal is 3 months).

What else I can say? Miracles do happen. It due to my past injury. And clear my two years army life and go on the things I want to achieve. Year 2009!

Secondly, sister's throat has recovered. And brother's stressful days has over. haha! His examination just over. He has plenty of time to play. Rong's blood test report is ok. =) Cool!

Lastly, I was at Keith's house watching the FA cup final. Sad news. Manchester United lost. It was quite a boring match to me. Why Chelsea suddenly last minute during extra time scored?! I want to see penalty shootout instead. =( I don't have the luck. I often watch Man Utd big match, they will lost. Athena was complaining about the scoreline too. haha! She is the real die hard fan for Manchester United.

After watching the FA Cup match, Keith brought out all the childhood's photos from his living room cupboard. =) We were laughing out loud when we saw our dress code for birthday party. haha! Great memories. =)

Liverpool must win! I support you for this season champion league. Just for this season. haha! 23 May 2007.

This morning, Duathlons 2007 at marina square! Proudly announced that my dear friends from haagen daz's took part of this event. They are Leslie, Paul, Diana and Rong. I heard many "dramas" had happened. I hope everyone is fine now. They gained useful experience. Another cool stuff.

I was at Sentosa this morning. Together, there were 12 people. Some of them I don't really know them. They were Michelle's sister friends. haha! We played Beach Volleyball, Soccer and Captain ball. The weather was very hot! I can imagine how tiring it was when my friends were at Duathlons's event. Weather forecast said it will have cloudy weather. But! haha, I cannot see any clouds. =(

Andy, Jin Jing, Jimmy and Michelle bought me laughter and fun! Thanks. Especially the joker andy, non stop jokes from him. And thanks to Jimmy, he accompanied me sat on the beaches and wrote something interesting! haha. Only both of us knows it. I love beaches.

I'm very very TAN now! My parents were quite pissed off, why I become so "black"?! they asked me when I stepped into the house.

Coming events

Tuesday- graduation day! I cannot imagine how I look like when I wear the gown! I looked so tan. That's it. And yes! Athena dare me to wear haagen's hat for my graduation day. Throw to the sky and captured it. Should I dare?! haha. Well, because I only wear gown. University's graduation is more grand, both gown and hat. I should take a lot of photos with my poly friends. The special day! T33 is my seats number. How about you guys?!

Focus

How should I start?! Many things happended today.

I woke up late and I'm meeting my dad, 1.30pm at CMPB. Luckily, my dad called me and he said he coming back home to fetch me instead. =)

The check up was at 2pm. We waited for half an hour and finally my name called.

Well, the doctor said I'm graded Pes B. No reason for anything. My dad waited outside the consultation room. When I came out, I told my dad about my Pes Status. Seconds later, he walked into the room and he requested to have a talk with the doctor for a minute.

However, they chatted for almost two hours. There were some emotional part when my dad talk about my injury and family stuff to the doctor. I was depressed and grabbed some tissue from the desk. In my mind, I was telling my dad. Sorry sorry, I caused the trouble.

His customer called when he was talking to the doctor. He was late for the meeting and he had to rush to Eunos after my check up. =(

I have to wait for the doctor's letter (final decision of my pes status). Three days time, i will know the results.

I reached paul's house late. I cannot solve the wireless stuff. I don't know why there is two software running at the same time?! caused the wireless connection failure. Deep in thoughts but I was late for Amazing Race.


When I just reached home, my sister called me " Er Kor Kor(second brother) come come" in chinese. She want to send me a photo to my handphone. Before sending, she asked me this photo nice a not?! I smiled at her. She told me NOT to change my handphone's wallpaper. Put this photo forever. haha! The picture above.

I knew she cannot sleep. I chatted with her a while before I came online. Don't worry about tomorrow stuff, I will be always by your side.

I took an old menu from Haagen's Daz for her. She loves ice cream. And my plan is to explain to her what are those creations.

Thanks to my friends. Thanks for your concern. =)

Continue about today's event...

About my first experience to play "Amazing Race" (Haagen's addition) in Singapore. A great event held at Holland Village. =)

Team A : Ende, Paul and me
Team B: Hazel, Elspeth and Lok Ping
Team C: Qiu Li, Rui Ying and Sharon
Team D: Riduan, Rennie and Priscilla

First stop was the hot spicy ramen! My first time to try it. Eight chilli added. Even the waitress told us, are you serious?! It will be very hot. I said no choice, bring it on. haha! Look at this picture, Our shirt was wet and we didn't run. It was all because of the hot spicy ramen. haha!

Second stop was the eat Ice cream at "Non" Ben & Jerry store. haha! It means that we had to buy an ice cream cone from other place and took a photo with the B&J's scooper. That's weird. haha!

Our last stop was the basketball shooting competition! We had to score at least 150 points to win it. Paul, Ende and me tried for three games. Yes, we made it! haha. We can choose Daytona or Dancing game too. Well, why no soccer games?! haha, kidding. By the way look at ende in this photo, he is looking on his left side because sharon's team is completing with us. haha!

We came in second but overall we are first! Team A. Teamwork, you run! I run. Paul is great at planning which place to go first. Ende led us and take good care of our safety too.

Each of us had to take photos of the places we went. Sounds cool right! Hope to play it again.

Thanks rennie and friends. A good planner surely make the race looks interesting.

Take care.

So near yet so far

Happy Mother's Day!

Today my family stayed at home, we had dinner together. Parents still planning want to go to eat taiwan porridge for supper near Indoor Stadium.

She is fine today. I showed her those ENDE's video clips haha! She was laughing out
loud. Especially the video we took at the basement. =) Also, my mum watched it too. haha! Very funny.

I had answered those questions myself. Coming thursday to Saturday, I'm will be my sister's free time bodyguard again. Hope her throat will be ok soon. And give me all the bad stuff, I'm the recycle bin.

Last wednesday, I got to work with two newbie staff. Athena, Greece's name (I still
don't know how to pronouns it well) and Pricilla. And the new manager was same shift as me, Santa. She asked me to do a lot of things. First time, I worked quite tired in the weekdays AFTERNOON shift.

Everyone can scoop round ice cream. =)That's it I think I'm the one who failed mystery shopper again. 87 points! =( I worked almost everyday and she mentioned the person is a senior staff.

On friday, We went to Ice Skate (With Rong, Edmund, Leslie, Ende). Yes, It was a fun outing. At first, my leg was quite painful because long time (4 years I think) didn't skate. After that, we had supper at the nearest coffee shop. Chicken Chop was nice but I regretted I didn't order Ice Lemon Tea.

We had some "betting" on which team will win Champion League. Liverpool, go for it.
Because it is a english team so i support. haha!

Oh yes, yesterday it was fun to team up with Leslie to do creation. It has been a long time we didn't THROW ice cream all that. haha!

Yurong, her first day working at Haagen. 2 Rong's working together, if I'm the customer I may think they are sisters too. haha!

Talk about paul, he told me that the whole week is busy with sports activities! Oh man,
i think he can be a phyical education teacher soon.

Ende, every sunday! english tuition.

Coming Wednesday is my judgement day. haha! CMPB check up, I will know my Pes Status soon.

Take care.

I have many question to ask...

How should I start?


I should leave this post for another day..

I still...

Last Saturday, everyone (Leslie, Ende, Paul, Diana and Rong) were very excited for the Escape's rides. Rong and Diana still have some food before going for the rides, respect them. Yes, I admitted that I wanted them to eat as slowly as possible and hope to rain. haha! So that I would not try most of the "daring" rides.

The inverter was damn scary. They gave me a sense of trust. I tried it. Well, it reminds me when I was at genting taking the the (Cork Screw) rollar coaster's ride. Turn myself upside down. I still managed to open my eyes and pretend not scary! You know why?! because I didn't wear my spectators. My vision was blur. haha!

My physical condition was only about 65% after inverter's ride.The next stop was priate ship, I
cannot take it even when it only just started swinging. And I'm the only one who shouted! the
opposite side got two kids, I think they thought I just wanted to create the atmosphere but its not true. I kept waiting for the ride to stop. haha! Ende joined me to shout out loud for fun. =)

I love go kart a lot. I don't mind take the ride over and over again. haha! It is interesting to
have two seater's go kart. I paired up with diana and I thought we were fast and able to bypass ende and leslie. I'm wrong, they were waiting for US in front. haha! They bumped on us from the back.

Water boat was nice, high sloop up to 15 metres! I kept reading at any safety instructions's board and thanks to ende, let me sit in front because he know that behind seats CONFIRM get wet easily. We were shouting inside the tunnel. haha! Why we want to torture ourselves?!
Haunted house was ok, I think because I was behind them haha!

We went to a hall that have many games to play, each game cost two dollars. Ende! actually you
should try it, I got a feeling you will win something back. We talked to the people in charge, asked them what is the easy way to win it and even asked what is their pay like? hahaha!

Well, it was my first time I went to Escape's Theme park. After all, those rides really help me to
overcome my fear. Thanks to all.

We went Orchard to buy our SpiderMan's 3 tickets. Thanks to Leslie, he booked it online. So we just joined the short queue and retrieved our tickets. It saved our time. Not to forget, Elspeth joined us the fun. =)

I think SpiderMan 1 & 2 is nicer. haha! SpiderMan 3 is a bit boring, I think because the story is
coming to an end, the writer want to "join" all parts into one story. And SpiderMan 1 & 2 is like
there is something for us to look forward to. SpiderMan 3, i give three and a half stars out of
five.

I went to meet up with Dave plus his girlfriend, Rain and Keith. They bought SpiderMan3 tickets at Jurong Point's Golden Village. Oh! I get to watch it twice. haha! Why your girlfriend didn't come? I asked Keith. He said if mandy come, I will be lonely. -.-'' Just kidding. Mandy is not interested on Spiderman's movie. Not like us, crazy for Marvel Heros since we were 12 years old. haha!

Sunday I went to Library to study english with ende. I went out for my lunch and he continued doing his tutorials. I cannot finished the fries and decided to BRING it to the library, share it with ende. As you know, we cannot consume food inside the library. I was a librarian but I still didn't follow the rules. We were chatting happily and at the same time he ate the fries bit by bit. Guessed what, the librarian walked past us. hahaha! Ende and I quickly stopped what we were doing. And we were stunned and looked at the librarian. The scene was like Jurassic Park when the T-Rex was just beside us. hahaha! Ok, crap. Luckily, the librarian didn't saw it.

Elspeth came and she was listening to ende's mp3 because the two men were busy chatting. hahaha! I didn't really study my english. I'm worried now, next week must really get serious with it.

Rong and Paul joined us later, we played pool for a while. And paul went to celebrate his sister's
birthday. Elspeth, Rong, Ende and I went to a place to CLIMB wall. haha! I watched the videos at ende's blog. I learnt how to climb it by copy ende's moves. hahaha! Interesting attempts and guessed what the two girls climbed up the wall too. =)

Sunday after work, I went to meet chiamster at the nearest badminton court there to pass her the ice cream pint. As both of us were busy to meet up recently, luckily she stays near me because I don't have dry ice.

Hope it suits your taste, I packed both Vanilla Caremel Brownie and Cookies & Cream flavours together. Take good care, good luck for your 'A' level preparation.
I thinking of setting up a small party for Haagen's friends at my house. What special day coming
soon? celebrate my graduation day? Or celebrate Diana coming back to haagen (from Rong's blog)? haha! Both are great news isn't it! I hope my mum is free to cook some food for you all. =)
Many changes at work, Kitchen is no longer call Kitchen. I think it called storage place for food.Take away counter can make us really busy even though it was not peak hours.

Sorry I was very late for work, it caused Elspeth to do opening on her own. =(
New staff coming in soon, PAUL and JOSEPH take note! Please come back and work at least eight hours a week because a new manager has came, management has changed in some way.

Hazel told them about my story with Zai, the previous SIC. The hot temper Bing Jie VS a manager. I was in the wrong. I'm so embarrassed when Hazel told me, "actually everyone knew what I sms Zai". -.-''

Kelvin lost his black ring at the outlet, I did my best to search it but I still cannot find it. I
was very stubborn and insisted to find it. I failed.

Work as usual, but today I still lend someone my pen to...

Take care.

I'm different in your eyes.

Yesterday at my workplace, both dine in and kitchen air-conditioner was out of order. The whole outlet was hot. Luckily, there were enough staff to work. Waffles machine was down too. Had a bad day. haha!

Operation Manager (Desmond) came, table 10 customers request to change the Fondue's chocolate. And while they were waitng for it, I decided to keep their ice cream on the freezer.

Desmond was inside the kitchen. When I just wanted to put the ice cream into the freezer, he stopped me. Why the ice cream is melting?! he asked me.

You shouldn't send this to the customer, change a new plate for them. He continued.

As I don't really have the chance to explain what actually had happened, say no more I just sent a new plate for them.

Due to 3 air-conditioner out of order, kitchen was like OVEN. Free spa service. haha!

After work, I changed to soccer gear. Anxious to play! haha. Lucky the rain stopped. This time every tuesday we have Soccer games at the nearest street soccer court near paul's house.

Thanks to Rong, Diana and Paul for letting me to join them for sPizza before going for soccer. First time I get to try it and the place is nice too. They prepared the pizza on the spot, as in I get to see the chef doing the dough and preparation. =)

Suddenly I felt that I like Holland Village more and more as time goes by. Furthermore, mother always tell me about her Holland Village's childhood stories.

SpiderMan 3 NOW showing! haha! Wait no more.

Soccer 1 May 2007 (report)

Edmund joined us for tuesday's soccer. Cool Stuff! Hafiz and Kelvin join us next week ok.

Edmund is a fast player. His ability to push the whole team to attacking style.

Leslie bought his new Nike shoe. And each time, he is getting faster and faster, the Luke Chadwick.

Ende is a great defensive player, the next Nicky Butt. =) He can play attacking position too. Long leg specialist. haha!

Paul is always the most hardworking player of all. Will never stop tackling until he has the ball and can play a neat ball out of defence to switch the play from defence to attack. I hope your right leg's toes is ok now. Speedy recovery.

Joseph is a reliable player in either midfield or defence but would probably play anywhere.

Diana and Rong joined us the fun too. They are sporty and eager to play. Diana is daring to tackle and Rong became deadly striker to shoot when the street soccer turned dark. =)

Brave girls as they barefoot play soccer has to be careful because sometimes the court got small particles that may hurt both of your legs.

Well, right now my left leg's metatarsal hurts. That's why I'm lazy to get up from my computer desk now. haha! So I decided write comments about yesterday's game. I should play more set pieces style, I play too solo sometimes. Teamwork is important.

Take care.
