ok, i'll try to be more optimistic about my life. well, i'm now practically working fulltime/parttime at McD's at Riccarton. other than that, i do nothing else. yeah, nothing else! i could say that life has not been this monotonous before: work, sleep, eat, work... but there's always a positive side of it. like currently my parents are here, i get to spend time with them more often. having each meal at home, instead of having supper after work. also, the good thing about working is: you get to learn more things that you will never learn from lectures. practical, that's what i mean! you don't just sit in lectures and think what it's like if i ... if i... what you do with the time u have is to go out and get in touch with the community around you! well, the pay shouldn't be an issue, i know working at this place sucks, considering long, i mean very very long, working hours, and running around trying to please ur customer, but think of it as a reward to what you have learnt - patience, communication. patience is a big thing for a crew. when i first started out, this is something that i thought i'd get a firm grip of, but after a month, this is really a big challenge. imagine, a bunch of ppl standing in front of you, taking their own sweet time to look at the menu, yet order items with 30 seconds in between each item. seeing the digital clock ticking down you know your aim is to assemble the order as fast as you could so that the customer will not be waiting for too long. this gets more annoying, when a single customer orders 30 items (yes, i did experienced that a few times) and when the order is taken (finally), the customer said that i assembled the order wrongly when in fact i have verified the order item by item! the most annoying one that ever happened was a guy who came for a burger which i was damn sure he didn't order it...... well, work is still work. always remind yourself, you get paid for it. why bother? then it will be fine.
lately, this friendster thingy is so addictive that i had myself clicking and typing trying to 'trace my roots'. haha. fyi, i have been searching and asking around if any of my primary school mates still exist, apart from one or two of them which i'm still keeping in touch with, especially Soo and Sophie. Where are you ppl?! as a matter of fact, i could still remember their names, and faces! but when i tried to search for their names in the database, what i found was just disappointment. maybe they've changed names? it really is a possibility, not as in changed their names on birth certs, it's their first names! like for instance my name's Kevin, when in fact i was only known as Ek Khai. who the hell knows Ek Khai in my college or univ years? not a single soul i will have to say. so, there's a possibility that they're still out there, like myself, searching for their mates, ...... any soul kind enough to lend a helping hand? or do any of you know my ex-school mates?
alrite, i'll give a brief but important details about myself:
