Malaysians are a bunch of unique people no?
Malaysian dictionary:
On the way actually means --- " eh hello? ya... I'm on the way, on the way" *hangs up phone and gets ready to leave the house* yup thats Malaysian style "on the way" it means they are just leaving the house, on the way to get to the car and get the journey started.
*insert time here* o'clock actually means --- " eh dun play play, i wake up at 5 o'clock ok?" 5 o'clock actually means 5.45, 5.50 , 5.30 no matter if you wake up at 5.59 it is still 5'o'clock. More effect more drama ma..
punctuality actually means--- being late for 10 - 15 minutes =)

coincidence?
I wonder if it is coincidence or what, but they are a few ppl in the hotel which reminds me of my dear friends. There is this one guy who reminds me of Long Xiang, he looks like Long Xiang, talks like Long Xiang well maybe a bit softer and looks like a girl too just like Long Xiang hahahaha and he tells me that alot of people tells him that he looks like a girl. By the way this is also the same guy which the people in the hotel thinks is my brother coz they think we look alike -.- too bad i didn't take a picture of him today coz my phone no battery.... and today was his last day. Everytime they see me, they will ask, where is your twin sista? who is bigger you or him? -.- sien...
Then there was this other guy who reminds me of Huey Teck. But he is the older, fairer version of Huey Teck. A very quiet guy and speaks only chinese. hahahaha he behaves like Huey Teck too! i mean from that one day that i met him la. Very quiet, deep in thought and only smiles..sometimes... i dunno whats happening to me, maybe i miss my friends too much.
And then, alot of people say i look like someone they know. 3 people has already said i look like someone else and asked if i have a sister or something -.- i suppose this world's population is getting too much that faces has to be repeated hahahahaha oh and another chef thought i was the sister of this other trainee too (different from the one i mentioned above) *and this time i took his picture ;)* but i still dun think i look like him. they kept teasing us like " eh you dengan dia adik-beradik kah? muka macam sama saje?" then they roared out laughing a hearty laugh. haih...its his last day too, one by one the trainees all leaving, one by one familiar faces are gone....its gonna feel strange and weird from now on..got to depend on myself from now on!

Day 1
First day of work wasn't exactly exciting, it was scary actually. First day already they throw me at Daily Treats, equipped with nothing at all and decided to let me fend for myself. I suppose its the same in every hotel, but i would really appreciate it if they would give me a basic guild line on what to do. Like maybe just teach me how to make juices, and i will gladly stay there you know? but no... Anyway i made a lot of mistakes, on the pancake and waffle thing, guest were not very happy *yikes* kept fumbling up orders coz i kept asking the seniors how to do this and that =( and finally it was closing time, i was like *yippee!!* and we kept everything back in the store. But it doesn't end there, Kitchen department is a series of challenges. BOH, here they call it heart of the house (HOH) walao...i was so lost, seniors were so busy they had no time to instruct us around, but not only that, they didn't instruct us to do anything yet they get angry when we stand there and do nothing. not that we didn't ask for work, we did, we just got scolded >.< come on, what happen to buddy system? but anyway, things got better after lunch, kitchen is fun, if you know what to do. I dun mind the chef scolding all the time, coz i know he doesn't mean it. All i dun like is being lost, not knowing anything yet they expect you to know everything. I dun mind busy, i just hate idling there with nothing to do. If what seniors meant by "hell" is busy, i really dun mind. As long as i know what to do and i'm not lost with ppl constantly pushing me around. But one thing, i think my performance was great, for someone who came in first day with nothing, gained alot by the and of the day. Made loads of different types of sandwiches, but omg...the madness and the lost feeling is going to come back soon since the menu is 2 days cycle....oh boy~

Believe
Today i have changed my perspective towards Malaysians again, there are after all kind souls still around in this country. I say that because not long ago ( i dun know if you know =/) my car broke down in the middle of the road, and a mechanic came and helped me, i thought he was a kind hearted soul who wants to help me sincerely when he saw me in distress by the road, so he "helped" me to "check" my car even though i have already diagnose the problem. I just let him proceed just for him to satisfy his curiosity. ( the problem was actually my car ran out of petrol, don't judge me just yet! my meter was spoiled so i was caught unexpected! long story....) so anyway my hero brother came to my rescue and my car was able to run again, and then this guy charged us RM 20 for doing nothing -.- instead of my parents being grateful for my brother's efforts, they actually scolded him =( which affected him alot coz i saw a lot of emo post on facebook after that. Yea so bottom line i just stop being naive to think that everybody is so nice and all those things and just stop believing in people coz they just prey on gullible people like me.
But today was different, today it wasn't me who got into trouble, it was a friend of mine, her tyre got punctured, so we stop by the roadside and you know, start jacking up the car and all, and then this man saw us and he helped us! He didn't even ask for payment, just did it willingly and sincerely. and i know he was sincere coz he gave us this whole lecture about "don't get out of the car when your tyres are punctured coz some indians will pretend to help you and god knows what do what to you, you are girls, must bla bla bla...." not that i'm racist, thats what he said! and then in a jiffy he changed the tyre for my friend. I've learnt a few tactics from him by just watching him, and he also told us reason y the spare tyres are of smaller size and all...and the hero for today is Mr. Koo who has helped us despite it raining =) and he even teased " of all days why you must choose this day to get your tyres punctured"
To our stranger hero:
God bless you, though i'm a christian i do believe there is such thing as karma, so a good deed will be returned with a good deed and maybe in some unexpected circumstances in your life, where situation seems helpless, help will be there for you have been a kind soul to us. I don't know if i will be able to return your good deed, but i will definitely pay it forward, even if i'm a girl and it is said to be dangerous to help strangers, i will do it, to make a difference in this corrupted materialistic our community has become.

Bienvenue!
French....oh! *pretends to faint*
Ok over with the drama queen =) this post is dedicated to my "favorite" subject which is French! OMG its such a pain in the arse >.<
French is such a farny language, i mean seriously...ok here is an example.
Numbers
1-60 is perfectly normal...un...duex...trois...quatre....cinq...
70 onwards it starts to be tricky~ it wants to play with you from 70 - 80 its translated into 60+11 so basically its sixty AND eleven, sixty AND twelve, sixty AND thirteen -.-
80-90 is worst, its translated 4 x 20 so if i were to directly translate it, it would be four twenties and one =.=''
90 onwards....speechless...its translated four twenties and eleven
Whats wrong with them? they are like playing addition and multiplication in normal number, imagine if they have to do multiplication @.@ sien....
Gender
Do you know that french words have GENDER? There are feminin and masculin; and to me, they got their gender all wrong. Here is why....So i have this friend of mine who got a lil curious about stuff, so she took out her dictionary and started searching for words. And to her excitement she called me " Wei Mae! Wei Mae! did you know that breast is masculin?" and there was another time she told me bikini is masculin too! woah! since when? oh and take note, your sofa is a male, and guy's shirts are female oh............ and the pasta you are eating, yea there are females, so chew them with care! O.o woot?!
Pronounciation
Super hard, today my friends and i were trying to say "eye" in french, we ended up pronouncing it as if we were vomiting all over the dictionary. we sounded like a bunch of retards, but it sends us into fits of laughter =D Yi Wen est sein GRANDE! hahahahahahaha love me lots! ^^

But this @#%!$ he memang saw me coming in and i put on my signal ok? BUT he refuses to let me cut... i mean come on la, if you see a car coming in like that, even if its the fella's fault, you would just honk the fella and then break and let him pass right? afterall he is in your lane already, but NOOOOO this !$^@$# didn't break, he kept coming on and pushing me back to my lane, like what the hell is your problem? what a bully weih! like as if letting me cut through would make him late by 10 minuts or somthing -.- piss me off man! Somemore my poor friend, first time sit my car kena terkejut d hahahahaha
AND THEN, after fetching my friend home, there was this traffic light, usually that traffic light doesn't cause much jam, so i was like "wah y so jam ar?" and then i saw....3 cars, bang into each other's butt, and they park their cars in the middle of the road and all of them discussing there. -.- WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
