Shopping

Sunday, December 2, 07 by andreafung

Oh my god before i completely forget! I went on a teeny tiny shopping spree and bought myself some stuff which i have never tried before!

Fake eyelashes and nails!

The main reason i got those(or rather Rob bought them for me) was because for one they were REALLY cheap like $5 for each, and 2ndly i thought i’d like to try it out, you know being a girl and all =p (Ok i admit it, i was hoping to make myself look better for work, more tips!) The lashes looked hot after i spent AGES trying to get it right lol!And even then it still looked weird!Its too time consuming! And the fake nails were really cute! Unfortunately though i can only remove them with Acetone which i do not have and neither does the store which is stupid! Thats like selling contact lenses without selling the contact lens solution! Anyway, now i’ve got fake nails on my left hand, and its soo inconvenient!Plus it hurts if i bend it!Gah!

On a brighter note, i got a new bottle of perfume!! Been wanting Anna Sui perfume for soo long! And now that i can afford to splurge a little i decided to treat myself! Plus its only $67 aussie dollars! How cheap is that! Back home it’ll probably cost like a hundred to two hundred over dollars! I know its the issue of exchange rates, but im earning Aussie money now, so i can buy it hahaha!

I love the smell!! Its gorgeous!!The first time i smelt it, i felt that it was a youthful smell with a touch of womanly elegance! Plus the the slight flowery tinge to it just gave me a refreshing type of impression. And i think it really suits me too!Aaaahhhh!!! Life is good!!!By the way check out this page! my idea of how it smells is sorta similar to how its described to be!

Updates!!Super long post!

Wow..its been awhile, i have no idea where to start, but well i think i’ll start with the end of exams with a personal letter to Business Finance and Mr Barry Burgan(Head of Commerce, Business Finance lecturer).

To my Business Finance subject, I admit i have not spent a lot of time on you, then again i never practice favourtism and hopefully never will. Nonetheless you have caused me a lot of grief when i did spend time with you, and i have come to face the fact that you would not have become this way if it was not because Mr Barry made you the Darth Vader of my finance degree. So because because of this you have my pardon. Mr Barry on the other hand, only two words for all the bs that you’ve put me through this semester, now that i’ve passed the damned paper through only the grace of God himself(no seriously thank you, Lord Jesus), Fuck Off.

With that done, exams are over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!One more year to go and i’ll be on my way to studying my true passion, Law! Anyway, will be staying in Adelaide for a few weeks to spend time with Rob!Will be going back only on the 13th of Dec. So desperately need to lose weight before i go back or else mom will be on my case the whole holidays through!Speaking of my extended stay here, mom was saying that ppl back home kept on asking her when i was coming back and she was saying that me not coming back soon like all the other kids implied that i chose my boyfriend over my family. Well these ppl can jus bloody fuck off. Just because i wanted to spend a couple more weeks with a boyfriend doesn’t mean i do not love my family. Seriously i dont know if its the asian mindset or is it just the way it is back home, or is it that people are just plain judgmental, it stupid. I love my family to bits, is it asking too much to just spend a couple more weeks here?So i’m back a couple weeks late, whats it to you?I don’t live with you, i only see you on Sundays, and even then i don’t talk or acknowledge you, so wtf is your problem? Geezz..people need to mind their own business

Anyway screw that for now! The good stuff thats happened is i managed to succesfully throw Rob a suprise dinner party at Cafe Primo!Thank you to all the people who came!Man i’m just so thankful that i’m a good actress or else i really wouldn’t have pulled it off! Ok i admit i, even though it was supposed to be a suprise i couldn’t keep it to myself and i told Rob what my plan was a week before the dinner, and i felt soo terrible about it later on so i decided that i just had to fix it!So i told Rob that i cancelled the party cos he had shitty friends who could not make it to the party.

Oh my god the look on his face was terrible! He was so disappointed!! But i kept telling myself that it would be worth it in the end when his friends did come!! Anyway the idea was that i still take him out for dinner on Saturday at Cafe Primo! On the day, i suggested eating at Pellegrini’s instead to throw off the scent in case he suspected that i was lying, because i gave so much away by accident, so to cut the story short, i told him that if i did not like the menu there, i would wanna have dinner at Pellegrini’s and when we arrived i showed him where his friends were and man he was soo stunned and happy that i was soo proud of myself and happy for him!! It was an awesome night! Everyone bought him shots of i think everything..and by the end of dinner he was happy, but definitely still not a complete drunken idiot, which is pretty good because he can def hold his drink, but bad because we were planning on getting him drunk by the time dinner was over!

After that i had to go to Hannah’s 21st. Rob went out with a couple of his guy mates and im just so glad that he had a great time! Hannah’s bday party was alright i suppose, but it mainly involved her and her girlfriend getting drunk and being whores. She called David(my ex-boss) to come and apparently the reason he came was because i was there lol! I asked her again the next day when she was sober and she confirmed that it was because i was there as he initially wanted us to meet him at the cafe, fuck that!lol!

I met a girl called Dani and she was so whoring herself out to this guy who eventually ended up going home without telling anyone, so she cried while throwing up in the ladies. Lovely girl. And that was the night i lose my pink motorolaphone which i loved so much! Awesome end to my saturday night wasn’t it? But i called up customer services the next day, and apparently because i’ve been paying significantly more than my compulsary $25 dollars a month, there has been a rollback to 6 months which meant that i could end my contract(FINALLY!!!), and get on a new cap plan AND get a new phone!! So now i’ve got a beautiful Samsung U700!!!I had a choice between the black one and the silver one, but i felt that the silver was a bit too flashy/shiny bordering on tacky for my preferance, so i chose the metallic black one!Oh god i love it!!! Its got a 3.2megapixel camera, touch sensitive keys and a scroll wheel, love the white background light, graphics are really clear, and more!The touch keys are a little bit of a nuisance sometimes, but still its one of those minor probs that most phones have anyway! And i’ve gone on to a $49 cap which gives me $300 worth of call/msg credits!Oh happy me!!Free phone and better mobile plan i couldn’t be happier!

BUT i was!! Because in the same week Rob and i got a Christmas tree from Toys R Us! And we got the deco from the Reject Store. Altogether we spent only like $90 for the whole tree and the deco!And while we bought it we were laughing at how one Christmas ball at David Jones costs $15 while in the reject store, despite the obviously lower quality, we could buy a whole package of it for $5. Thing is, appearance wise, it looks similar to the David Jones’ ones, the only way you would know that it is of lower quality is if you actually hold it and touch it! I was so happy because this is our first ever christmas tree and just the time we spent decorating it was so memorable to us! We even searched for christmas music on youtube and listened to those while we decorated the tree! So here is a picture!

img_6876.jpg

img_6906.jpg

The top one was taken on the night we decorated it, and we found out that we did not have enough shiny streamery stuff or whatever you call them, and so the 2nd pic was taken during the evening with an extra streamery thingy! Pictures seriously do not do our Christmas tree justice!! All of this for less than $90!!

The next good thing was that the very next morning Rob asked me to look under the Christmas tree and guess what i found? Excuse the fact that the pressie has been taken out of the box and all!

img_6897.jpg

Ok i know PS 2s were so god knows how many years ago, but then again the pink one wasn’t! Plus the PS 3 still can’t play a lot of games anyway compared to the PS 2! So yay me!!!!THANK YOU ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love my life right now!!

In exactly a week after Rob’s suprise dinner i had organized for us to go on a cruise to swim with dolphins for Rob’s birthday/Christmas present!So we had to wake up really early to get to the Holdfast Marina at Glenelg. After we arrived we sat on a boat that took us on a quest to find dolphins pods and oh my god they were the most BEAUTIFUL dolphins ever!!They were Bottlenose and Common dolphins! We couldn’t touch them, feed or swim after them though because they were wild dolphins and would like to be kept that way for their own good. Apparently if humans continue feeding them and etc, their dependancy on humans for food grows and they would leave their young just to get food from passing ships.

So this is how it works, when we arrive at areas of the sea where there are a pod of dolphins, the ship stops, and two ropes will be thrown behind the ship and the swimmers will get off the ship, hold on to the ropes and mainly just keep our heads in the water while the ships tows us along. We look pretty much like idiots really!Imagine if you’re a dolphin and you see a bunch of google eyed aliens floundering about with tubes in their mouths

img_6873.jpg

This picture was of me when i was trying to put on the wet suit, it was soo tight!!!

img_6854.jpg

And when my attempts were futile …

img_6855.jpg
Yes i know you’re concentrating on someone behind me thats bigger than life, but look at ME!

It seriously was a glorious day to be out though! It was sunny and warm and the sea water was refreshing!!The trip was just amazing! There was a point when three dolphins were just less than a metre away from where we were!Just within one metre!!I stretched out my hand, against the instructor’s orders of course, and the dolphin looked at me! It looked at me and i SWEAR it smiled as if to say hello!!Dolphins are seriously amazing creatures!Did you know that they useecholocation to navigate and to find food? Dolphins send out clicks that are returned from other objects in the water (just like an echo). This way a dolphin can locate food, other dolphins, predators or rocks. How cool is that! What an awesome way to sense things!

Another fascinating thing that we experienced while swimming with them was the sounds that they made. I’m sure everyone knows the sounds that dolphins make through tv or some documentary, and i tell you, what they show you on tv or the internet does not do the real thing justice. It is the the most serene, melodious sound i have ever heard an animal make. While the three dolphins mentioned above were swimming alongside us, they were communicating to each other and the moment i heard it, i felt that it was the one of the most soothing, most amazing things to hear. It was an experience to be remembered!!Its so different from when you just go on a cruise or a ship and watch them from the top, to actually be in the same waters as these fascinating mammals, i think, is considered a rare privilege. Its no wonder Temptation Sailing won the South Australian Tourism Award like 3 years in a row since 2004!

These are photos taken by a new friend that we made on the cruise. She sent us the photos taken with her huge ass camera! Thank You loads, Kim! Hope u have a safe trip back to Holland!

Awesome aren’t they? I wouldn’t mind going back for another session!

Alright, the next update would be that i got a new job at The Palace! Its club so my work only starts at like 11pm! But the pay is so good and so are the tips! MUCH better than working at Pellegrini’s!I’m just so so so happy working as a barmaid/waitress right now!!But there is one incident which happened just a few days ago! I was at work and one old guy was at the bar, he seemed like a very nice man and to cut the whole story short i received roughly 2 months worth of pay in tips from him alone that night!

img_6881.jpg

Ok i might as well tell how i got this much tips!Well i was behind the bar, and he ordered a Crown lager it costs like $7.90, and he gave me a $100 note so when i gave him his change of $92.10 back he motioned for me to keep it. I was like ‘ REALLY?!you sure?’ and he motioned for me to keep it again!So i did. And then i was so grateful that i started treating him nicely like just making small talk and so on and like 20 mins later he gave me a hundred. I was dumbfounded.

The third time it happened i was starting to argue, because i felt really REALLY bad for taking so much money, but the manager just told me to take it. He then later informed me that this was a VIP regular and hes seriously loaded. And when i mean loaded, i mean his $100 to me, is like us giving a dollar tip to a waitress. I was then enlightened! And i suppose it pays to be good looking for i was his new favourite waitress! Lol! There was another waitress called Amy, and shes hot, like slim with big boobs and all, and i think she used to be his favourite, because she asked me if i had collected a grand from him yet. I hadn’t counted how much i had then, but at the end of the night it summed up to $820!darn!Was just $180 short of a grand!Anyway the DJ asked him who was his favourite waitress and he pointed at me, and after that the DJ turned to talk to Amy, and then she went to talk to him. So i’m quite quite sure that she used to be the favourite!And that was only my 2nd official night on the job!Amy has been there for quite some time i think!

Anyway, the night went on with me receiving $100 like every half an hour to an hour! And there were two ‘dancers’ who came up to him to chat him up(both at different times of course), and he didn’t even LOOK at either of them! And when they tried talking to him, he just kept saying ‘isn’t she beautiful?’ and you could tell they were trying to laugh it off and tried to get him to change the subject but he wouldn’t budge and soon they left. Lol! I felt increasingly nervous though because he just stared at me like the whole time from the first time i served him to the time he left. I felt soo soo awkward!! And Amy tried getting back on his favourite list by allowing him to tip her by putting the money down her top and stuff like that! Oh god! i don’t think i could ever do that!

But yeah, thats all for updates for now i think!I love my life, i love my job, i love everything right now! lol! Ok back to losing weight!!


Hit me baby one more time ..OVER!

Britney has done it again. Once again she has managed to humiliate herself in front of thousands of the A-list Tinseltowners, only this time instead of doing it while she was on her everyday activities, she did it LIVE on stage when everything and everyone is assumed to have gone through numerous rehearsals and effort to make it a night of tasteful enjoyment for all A-list celebrities. This is Britney’s effort..

I can’t upload the video clip for some reason!!

But anyway, Britney’s performance was a big let down as you can see. Everyone who thought this was her come back got a pretty bad suprise considering she was hardly moving there and abviously lip syncing, which i suppose is her trademark by now! However, there are still some faithful fans who will continue to worship the ground she walks on and continue making excuses for her, and that is perfectly fine, but then there are a few who do cross the line like Chris Crocker.

He/she is seriously hilariously funny!! Quote ‘LEAVE HER ALONE!!!I MEAN IT!!!’ I just’ can’t help but wonder whats going to happen to me if i take a blow at the one and only britney spears….

Still, i gotta admit he is a really pretty boy! He’d make a pretty cute guy if he was buffed up!!Plus he would make a pretty girl as well i think =)

AND he can bloody dance!!He should go on ‘So you think you can dance’ and slut the judges away!

Beyond ridiculous

Tuesday, September 11, 07 by andreafung

So i went to work on Monday, and during one of the quiet times G came up to me and started a conversation about how short girls are supposedly better in bed so im thinking ‘er…okkk…’ so i asked him how did he know. He then told me about how he met this tall girl in a club and he couldn’t hold her properly or something and to cut the story short he said ‘call me when you and your boyfriend have a fight’. Theres a bit of an inside joke in there, and he did say it jokingly i suppose, but i have no doubts whatsoever that should i actually call him up on his offer, he would NOT say no!He’d welcome me with open arms like right now if i were to give even the slightest hint that i MAY be interested!

You know how sometimes when someones says something jokingly but you just KNOW that it is a real obvious hint? This is one of those situations. And i was left there thinking ‘Ok first D and now G?! Are the bosses doing this on purpose?Or is it just not possible for them to maintain a professional relationship with me?’. So i asked Rob if he would promise me that he wouldn’t be angry if i told him something (this was straight after work) and his first reaction was ‘Oh my god.What now?!’, which says a lot about them. So i told him about G and he laughed and said ‘if you were to blog about this, you should call the post ‘Beyond ridiculous’ ‘ and hence the title of this post.

Poor Rob, i think he is just sick of hearing D and G’s sleazy happenings now, especially where i am concerned anyway…

But honestly, whatever G said to me, was definitely beyond ridiculous in light of what has happened between D and I. Is it so hard to maintain a professional relationship with someone?!?!?! Geezz…

New found friendships and bitchiness

Saturday, September 8, 07 by andreafung

Ok this isn’t going to be a typical work rant about G which is good because i have seriously lost all respect and any sorta emotional connection with this guy!!

I mean just 2 weeks ago, G scolded me AGAIN for something which was not even my fault. I know this because i was not even there when the event(which i can’t remember now) even happened, and i was just dumbfounded. Like all i could do was stare at him straight in the face and wonder how one man could be so profoundly stupid. And thing is i felt so stunned that it became obvious to me that there is no point trying to make an effort with this guy, he was just a jackass, end of story!So from then on, any scoldings i took, it was just ‘whatever’!But i still tried to minimize mistakes because i wanted to improve myself! But back to the main point..

 The image “http://www.planet99.com/pix/12951_1.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

 I met a few of the other waitresses more often now because they come in to the shop to eat quite often. Theres Hannah and Sarah who i think are like the most senior waitresses (as in worked there the longest, H is like the alpha female and S is like the keen follower. So we started talking more often since we meet so often now, and they just started bitching about the other waitresses. Ok the main ones that work there are H, S, me, Claire, Jenna, and Jade. So according to H and S she disliked Claire because she is absolutely useless and does not even speak English well (she is french). They disliked Jenna because she was really bossy and she kept ordering people about, and as for Jade, apparently she was the most domineering one so they disliked her even more! And here i was talking to my new found friends and they just bitched about the other waitresses, saying that they were annoying and bla bla bla etc.! But they had no problems with me so thats all good i suppose!

I had no problems with the other waitresses, i liked Jenna actually because she was the first one who taught me how to make coffee properly and she was really nice (to me anyway), and one day i found out from S that she was fired because she missed work one day due to drinking the night before and passing out. Jade on the other hand, came to work one day saying that she couldn’t lift a thing and left just like that. I never worked with Jade, so i don’t know her that well but i got along well with all the waitresses, i can’t see how S and H can find fault with them just like that!

 The image “http://www.martinfrost.ws/htmlfiles/nov2006/bitchy01.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

But just  a week ago, a new girl called Becky came in and man she was soo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!! She was honestly the biggest suck up i know! Pretty much 70% of the time she spent asking G is she could do this or do that or whatever and she kept trying to change things to do things her way! Like it takes quite a bit for me to dislike someone and i found myself disliking her , so you can imagine how H and S feels about her!H has not even worked with her but she dislikes her already just by looking at the notes which B posted up about not using the chocolate powder but using the chocolate fudge instead to make the hot chocolate!!Shes only been working for about like what..2 days?! Not only that her voice is just plain unpleasant to hear! So anyway i bitched about Becky to H and S and they told David about what they thought about B..and they were convinced that she was going to get fired in a few days! But next thing i knew, she was made manager! Hannah was not pleased about it, and neither was i to be honest because i knew that if i sucked up to G the way she did, i probably would have gotten the job too!But anyway on the night i found out that she was made manager, H came in for dinner and she was being a bitch to Becky and apparently on the Saturday before H did not even bother serving B when she came in and so B complained about her to G. Honestly…

 http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/EPH/9115~Being-Unstable-Bitchy-Posters.jpg

So B asked me if H had a problem with her, and told me that she hoped we wouldn’t mind her being made manager since shes only been there for about a week, so i told her what we all really thought about her bossy ways and etc, in a nice way of course. And then she gave us her side of the story, like shes been in the industry for a long time, she was a manager in a few other restaurants and a mother of two as well so thats probably why she seems bossy, and shes a firm believer of the idea that the more suggestions and inputs are made, the better the cafe/restaurant becomes. So now that i understand her a little bit more, and i have worked with her more, i have come to realize that she is a pretty good manager. She gets things done and she is very organized  and etc, the experience really does show.

Anyway i got the biggest shock when i went to work last night, G came up to me and told me that H, S and Claire have all been ‘terminated’ and that they chose to keep only me because they felt that i was a hard worker and i always try my best. I wasn’t exactly pleased because i JUST made friends with H and S and now i have to be a good example of a waitress because i would be the one that has worked their the longest!I admit it was good to hear good comments from G about me, but i definitely did not want S and H fired!Claire, i don’t really mind because well she really is useless, according to David anyway, and he is half the boss. David came in an hour later and i asked him what was going on, and he said that they kept H, but Sarah and Claire have gone. So why would G tell me that H has been let off? Weird!I braved myself to ask G, just before i left for home, why S and C have been let off, and he did not sound happy at all when he said that ‘certain people have problems picking things up’, i am guessing certain conflicts may have happened! 

 http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/cza1100l.jpg

On the bright side, last night, after B was done telling me all that was needed to be done ‘ she said ‘you can be like my assistant!’, to which i replied ‘we’re all your assistants aren’t we?’ and then she said ‘yeah but i mean you can be my personal assistant!’ so does this make me assistant manager now?Hmm… don’t wanna put too much hope in it!!

P/S : G told me that he cheats in his wife. He is not in love with his wife, only with his kids. The reason he married her was because she brought him to Australia and he was actually encouraging me to cheat on Rob because i ’should live my life to the fullest!!’. Ok so D hits on me and G encourages me to enjoy my life to the fullest, no wonder Rob dislikes them..

Where am i?

Tuesday, August 21, 07 by andreafung

I am so bored right now, ok well actually i have 4 tutorials to hand up tmr, but i am procrastinating!

Anyway, i was just thinking about where i stand in my spiritual life right now. I feel like i am still neither here or there, maybe it is because i fear the way people may look at me and my contradicting lifestyle once i am officially definite, or maybe i am not willing to give up my sinful pleasures and completely submit myself to Him. I feel so guilty and i feel like the thing that i HATE most, a hypocrite!! I have always prided myself in being either this or that, there has never ever been a grey area as to who i was!But now i feel i am in the grey area, in my heart i KNOW where i am supposed to be heading now, i KNOW the door has opened and i KNOW i have found the way, but even though i have taken the first step of acknowledgement, somehow i fear taking the next few steps, or at least something is stopping me from going forward, some sort of unwillingness, and i just want to move forward so so bad….

I went to church a few weeks back, im ashamed to admit that it was Albert that MADE me go(i think i may have talked about how he made me promise that i’d go), and i had the most amazing experience due to just one simple song composed by Chris Tomlin!! It is called ‘How Great is Our God’

It is just one simple song, which i have forgotten the title of, but i always think of how that song goes. I found the video of it on Youtube, and after first few words, i had tears streaming down my face already. Rob admitted that he had a tear as well, and that more than anything is really amazing. I think the words are perfect to description! God has answered all my prayers to date (i.e healing Rob, providing me beautiful sisters in Christ to enable me to share my first ever direct answered prayer[perfect proof/revelation], giving me good grades when i really thought i was going to fail, my bro graduating, and giving me some time away from G before i could snap, starting Rob on his journey to belief, etc) , and now i know the way for sure, i know what to do, where to go. But here i am, when all is well i have stopped praying as fervently as i used to, when i needed Him, every time i feel a need in my heart to pray i did, but i realized that i have been ignoring that call to pray for the past few weeks. I feel like a sick piece of scum! Unworthy, hypocritical, sinful and just downright undeserving of my answered prayers!

I want to move forward for my sake and Rob’s especially, because i want so badly for him to believe and experience what i have encountered with Him by my side, and even though he has seen His work and is on his way, i feel like i should play a bigger part in getting Rob there to that destination, which i am somehow not doing so.

img_6110.jpg
I need to move forward, but i don’t where i am right now, i know where i need to go, but i’m not getting there, i know what i need to do, but i’m not doing it, my heart acknowledges Him, but my actions don’t, i don’t know where i am and why i am not moving forward…

G is back

Sunday, August 19, 07 by andreafung

Gabby is back from wherever he was last week and trouble has already started!!

I admit that he is less of a jerk than he was previously (im guessing other members of staff have told him to tone it down), but still Friday night was not an improvement!

All was going alright, i was allowed to make all the coffees for everyone and i had Andrew helping me!!This time G actually left me alone to do the stuff instead of constantly hovering behind my back!So one time Andrew had to handle the transaction for two ladies, he told me that he knew how to use the till already so i let him do it. After i saw that he clicked the correct buttons n so on, i left to do something else. More customers came in, and all was served well!Until i realized that the two ladies who ordered their pizza have not gotten their food. They asked me about it and complained, and so i went to Andrew to ask him about it, and he said he doesn’t know. I looked at the past few receipts to see if it was there and it wasn’t, and neither was it with G, at the pizza grill. Usually whenever someone orders pizzas we’re supposed to bring the docket over to the pizza grill so that the pizza guy knows what to make and for whom.

So i told Andrew that whenever someone orders a pizza, he should bring the docket over to the pizza grill so that the guy knows what to make or else how would he know(i assumed that he would know this by now), and then i found out that all this time he was never told to bring the docket over to the pizza grill!Sigh!!!! So G told us off for letting something so stupid happen because the two ladies were demanding free stuff!! What bitches!!!

http://www.stillsecureafteralltheseyears.com/photos/uncategorized/fat_and_ugle_1.jpg

I was restraining myself from pointing fingers at Andrew because i did not want to come off as a bitch, but i felt that it was not fair because i did not even handle the transaction!!So why am i getting the blame as well, and G told me ‘He is new he does not know anything so you should be the one in charge of the bar, not him!’ Oh ok now i get it, i am supposed to train this guy, well how the hell am i supposed to know that unless you tell me!! He has been working as a waiter for at least 2 weeks now, i should expect him to know that all pizza orders go to the grill considering that was one of the FIRST lessons i learnt!! So now i have to pay the price for the mistakes of the so-called apprentice whom i have just unknowingly acquired!!

http://www.youthblog.org/archives/ANNOYED.jpg

After that incident things just started going downhill from there!I was ok with the telling off because now i know that i am responsible for Andrew’s actions. Later on i went over to the two ladies to offer my utmost apologies (how’s this for humility, man?), i don’t think anyone would even bother going over to apologize let alone ask them how was the food after the incident of knowing how annoyed they must have been!So they started being bitchy and asking if they could have the pizza on the house and etc so i thought i don’t mind paying for their pizza considering i was in the wrong. But G said no because they were being really rude and grumpy anyway! So i let that slide. After about 10 minutes i good heartedly went over to their table and asked them how was the food (I highly doubt anyone else would even bother providing them with service anymore), and they had the gall to ask me about paying for their pizza..AGAIN!And so i went back to G and he said ‘you can pay for half of it but thats it!!’. So they left soon after!

I asked Andrew ‘Do you think think this is funny or what? We had the whole cafe completely packed last Friday, and NOTHING went wrong, then the moment G comes back, this happens!And not even half the cafe is full!’ and his conclusion was bad luck and G, so overall and in conclusion G brings bad luck(lousy boss)!! So anyway, back to things going downhill, G started getting really irritable with me! He scolded me for not flicking the coffee switch on the way HE does it even though the exact same amount of coffee comes out anyway! He started getting on my back all the time whenever someone else places an order and talks over me, fortunately there were no other transaction mistakes or else i would’ve really gotten it from him! Geezz..one mistake and now its as if i have an extra burden to carry like i used to! It was so much better when i was left alone, things went a lot smoother! Also, he started getting pissed off when a few of the receipts had no table number. He NEVER complained about that before, and now he was making a big deal about it for nothing!He usually asks me where does this or that pizza go to and now hes scolding me for not putting on a table number when i am the one that sends the pizzas out anyway, so as long as i remember i can afford to not put a table number!! I wish he would just go and kill himself..stupid man…

Anyway, a few minutes later i made the mistake of not giving a table number again just because i was in a hurry and to make things easier! So G told me off again because Andrew did not know who the pizza was for and that was what caused the big deal!! Sigh i truly wanted to kill G there and then! Plus tonight i did not get any tips whereas for the past 3 nights when i have been working with David, i had tips everyday!!I think working with G makes me angry which would affect my services to customers, but when i work with D it makes me happy and thus happier service for the customers!! Gah!!! I wish D would work nights again!!! G sucks!!!!

Hectic Weekend

Monday, August 6, 07 by andreafung

Its been such a long yet at the same time awesome weekend!!

Friday

Met Esh in class and ended up going out for lunch with Yuka and her. So during lunch i told them all about my dilemma at work and that i really did not want to go to work today(in 2 hours time).After that they asked me to go and get proof of age cards with them so that we won’t have to carry our passports around all the time! While were were waiting one of the men started calling one of the tellers a whore and a bitch and bla bla cos he could not get what he wanted. He looked like one of these people, except a lot more scruffy!

After i went home, i still had about half and hour before i had to get to work, and i just started crying to Rob!I just felt so miserable that i had to go back to working with G whom i truly hate at the moment. Rob consoled me by saying that i should quit after this weekend’s worth of work and start looking for another job. After that i guess I felt a bit better. When i got to work, i found out that i was supposed to be working with this girl Jenna from South Africa. Shes a very experienced girl, been working in cafes and bars since she was 14 apparently, and she was the one who taught me how to make coffees! Thank you, Jenna!

Anyway, i snapped at G, and i very nearly lost control of my mouth!! He asked me to make the coffee, but i wasn’t sure on how to do it exactly just yet (like i said in the posts before, he only spent 5 minutes teaching me), i needed to look at how he did it just one or two more times. But then he got angry and said ‘haven’t i already taught you?!Haven’t i already taught you?!’ to which i retorted in my UTMOST sarcastic manner ‘yeah, for like only 5 minutes!!’ and then i shot him a look similar to this.

Man at that time i suddenly got scared of getting fired!!Like i wanted to quit the job of course, but i did not want to get fired from it!! So when G was sarcastic to me again, i just held my tongue! But overall the night went pretty well because i had Jenna to help me out!I think we worked well together!G asked if i wanted to work on Sunday at 3, and i said yes!*smack on the head* i wonder at my own stupidity…

Saturday

Woke up round 9 for some God forbidden reason,and bustled about doing stuff until i had to go to work at 3pm to get there by 4pm!I was not dreading it so badly now because Jenna made things easier for me, however, i still said a little prayer to God to make G sick or at least enable me to have someone else work with me so that i won’t bear the brunt of G’s wrath! And because it was Saturday night, all the more i was scared because its usually really packed!

When i got there, D told me that G won’t be working this whole coming week because his brother was out of town and he had to take care of his other business! I could not believe it!!! I was so so so happy!!! At least for the next week i know that i would not be quitting!! Also, i was allowed to leave early because it was so empty!The reason for this is because everyone else was at the pub watching the Adelaide Crows battle it out with Port Adelaide!This is awesome because i would be able to meet up with Esh and Yuka a lot earlier than what could have been at 1am! So i met up with them at 11.30!And we went to Fumo Blu for cocktails. Seriously for some reason i think i managed to get the strongest one there!Cos i was feeling pretty darn happy by the time we went out!

The place was packed with Asians man!!Like, it was like being back in China!Plus the music that was playing was boring for some reason!!So we went out and joined Esh’s thug and his friends at RNB@the Crib. The music wasn’t much better i suppose, and it was darn hot!! Everyone was sweating there, and it was packed with black men!

It was so disgusting when they tried picking me up..urgh!!And there was also a cat fight between two really fat chicks!! it was like watching two balls of pizza dough mashed into each other!Also i met Joel! He is so cute!!! Anyway it was really fun dancing there all da same! And Lance had the DJ call out a Happy 21st Birthday to me twice!And believe it or not, i didn’t hear it..twice!!Talk about bad timing!! After clubbing we went to the Horus for some shisha and we had a bit of girl on girl and man on man action!!hahahah and we’re all pretty straight so that was fun!Its amazing what alchohol does to you, isn’t that right Matt? Arrived back home at 6 am!

Sunday

Had two hours of sleep as i had to wake up for church!!Albert made me promise to go last weekend so now i have to go!Arrived by about 11, and after service, they were singing this really awesome song!!And something inside me stirred, like i wanted to sing the song because the song was just so perfect for God!!It was simple, it had only a few words, but i felt tears some to my eyes as i sang it because i felt that the song was perfect for the Lord, and also because i wanted Him to know how i feel about him now. All through the song i thought back to the past few months when God has answered pretty much all my prayers, and then i realized that God answered my prayer with G!!He did not fall sick of course, but he took G away from the cafe and put D in charge!Plus i had additional help!I am glad that Albert made me come, i am really grateful even that he did, because if he did not, i probably would have slept my Sunday away and i would have missed out on this chance!Thank you, Albert! Praise God!

Then i went to work at 3, straight after church!I was tired out!!But i still managed to do a great job!And at night, it was pretty quiet for some reason, and David let me go off earlier, at 8pm!!woohhoo!!! I was so happy!!

Its been a really hectic weekend i think!!In 48 hours alone i had to apply and reapply makeup on my face 5 times!for work, clubbing, church and so on!My face was screaming at me already and so as my body as i had only 2 hours of sleep!! I’m definitely not working on Sundays anymore!!

There’s something about Joel

Monday, August 6, 07 by andreafung

Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!! I met Joel at the RNB@the Crib club on Saturday night! EEKZ!!! He was soo cute!!!Like seriously he is just so much cuter in real life than he is on tv!! Thank you, Esh!!!!!!!!!! Too bad i couldn’t take a picture of him because i did not have my camera!And the only person who had a proper camera in their phones was Esh, and even then, Lance took a bloody long time taking it!! I shook Joel’s hand and asked if i could have a picture taken with him!And he said ‘yeah definitely!’ Ok i admit im rambling on like a giggling school girl, but he really is very cute!

The first time i saw him on BB07, i was thinking how on earth did they let someone like tat in, and he really isn’t even that funny!Maybe its cos i don’t know him personally or something! But anyway, seeing him in real life makes him cuter, and for some reason, shorter than i thought he would be!Ah well!
