My first european tip!

Woooooooooooot!

I remember when i got my biggest tip ever of rm3 while i was working back in tao, i practically couldnt sleep dat nite cuz the excitement and thrill of getting it drove me nutz.

Check this out.....



Yes count it....

12.85 pounds altogether. n guess wad.....it came from only 2 customers. but im not as excited as i was like back when i got 3 ringgit....




y? u ask...


mainly becuz one guy who was servicing only 4 tables the whole nite got 99 quid in tips all from also only 2 customers....yes 99 quid. one guy gave him 74 pounds and another gave him 25....wtf -.-


ive also heard of someone getting tipped 200 pounds by 1 customer b4. thats currently the record at the place im working


seems like its commonplace to tip like mad over here. good for me then :p


but mind u i did work my ass off and had to embarrass myself by going through protocols of introduction la, constant customer focus la and personal connections la....but it did pay off



though my legs are killing me now after working for almost 10 hours today....


ooo n yes, there were a few CFH(customers from hell) if u know wad i mean.....really knn wan. and i noticed that how ppl like to sabotage others just to get away with their own mistakes.....
there're plenty of bullies around too and seeing as im quite new and meek, they tot i was a pushover.....no no no mister, u messed with the wrong guy




yea a few racists sexists ppl around too but wadeva...england is shit after all n im only doing this for the money :p






ooo oo oo and 1 more thing i forgot to mention, someone left this behind lol







a limited edition manchester united paul smith designed key chain....nyak nyak nyak. well he din return for it so wadeva la

Come on...

i went to the city again yesterday to pass around more cvs and to apply for more jobs cuz ive given up all hope on last months applications *ahem ahem wagamamammamam*

damn la...then today i just recieved an email from M&S rejecting me! chow ku *^&%#@$

luckily i manage to apply to 10 places this time lol :p

y is it so hard for them to hire me??? ive got experience gua, my english oso not that bad, and im legal to work. *crosses fingers for debenhams & hard rock*

on a side note,

somebodys been stealing my red sauce n my nutella ella ella eh eh eh stealing my nutella ella ella ella eh eh eh....





























dum dum dum....be careful, ill catch one of u redhanded one day soon

Shucks...

Sometimes life is just so unfair....no not to me, i try to stay as grateful as i can for everything but its tough cuz honestly, i have no idea what a hard life really means and usually take for granted a lot of things in life.

But my heart goes out to 'u' right now n im so very sorry to here whats happening atm. as if life could not get any tougher for u...i dont know what u did to deserve all these things in life but i do hope things start turning around for your sake and i also hope with all sincerity that if anything were to happen, u wont lose your direction in life. i know it may seem like u dont have anyone to turn to anymore in life but know that there will always be ppl ard u who care and that you arent alone. im truly ashamed of myself for whining bout all the little things in life. this song is dedicated to u...

"Lift"

I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working

Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
You're life is calling, yeah

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift

When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You gotta let go
You took a hit
Time to pick up now
Move on from this

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta

Lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give it
Wipe your eyes and remember
You're better than this
Let them know
That they took their best shot
And missed
C'mon and lift

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift

Pick up now...
Pick up now...

French

....where do i start?

first things first, for those of u who dont know, i m currently living with a french couple



















this is what they look like.















hmm does the arrangement of photos always come out cacat on blogger?
one more shot of them...this was the day they cooked a french meal for me. was pretty darn good.

...and now for the bad.

omggg man sometimes i cannot tahan edi. after living with these ppl for the past 2 months, i realized how shitty the french language is. sounds like crappppp crap crap. i dont understand why ppl think its romantic or y lionel even bothers to learn the language. mebbe cuz 50% of the time all i hear is shouting and fighting. its like ' je beh beh beh beh , Se be je se BEH... BEH BEHB EH JE SE DEH!'
omggg its driving me crazyyy i tell u. they fight like exercise.

within the first week i moved in here, they broke up twice, separated once(stayed in dif rooms), moved out once(guy) and destroyed my stainless pots and wok. oo did i mention the guy has got an aiming problem(if u know what i mean)....its like hes got scattershot upgrade...ewww. oo and the worst thing is that he used to only drink coke so liek u know how fking pekat and yellow the stains get if u dont be neat and wipe the seat. :/

newayyy u may be asking y did i take this long to write about them....well coz theyre fighting got more intense and this time it looked/sounded(cos i stay in a room directly above them) serious.
the past few days i can hear the girl crying at 5 am and fighting away. but 5 minutes ago she was running up and down and slamming doors and throwing around stuff and like ran out of the house(saw her through my window lol). thomas(the guy) gave her 5 minutes and then he too went off, after doing some vacuuming wth....

oo oo theyre back....i hear her banging the door. i think he locked himself inside the room. ok i hear him letting her in and now shes sobbing...looks like theyre making up again....just STFU CAN OR NOT!

talk about a volatile relationship lionel...

thnk goodness they arent the overly passionate loving type otherwise things would go bump at nite..../morning.../evening

phew...

Bonfire Night

hrm...very disappointing indeed. its like a fake cny eve nite with a huge bonfire in the middle of the park. Luckily the company was great.
















Bonfire...i dont really see whats the big deal with this...ok lar its quite a huge bonfire but ppl are like literally stoning away for hours just staring at that fire..
















hrmm does it usually take this long to upload just 2 photos?...if it always takes this long i wont put liaw lo...wasting my time nia..see some furniture burning in the midst















k shiat...that may very well be the last time i upload photos....worse than kura-kura..wads worse
are the lau-hong fireworks















k la at least it was free and 20 minutes long... i can give them that, seeing as they are selling one bomb at tesco for like 20 pounds each

















k lar towards the end it got ok...some big flourishes and weird bongo shaped ones
















the only ride that looked interesting enuf ....very disappointedddddddd


Neway, what i learned today from the ppl i went to the bonfire with was that even if u tell them u are chinese, but u are a malaysian, u are a 'malay'. lol this misconception is not only thought of by the brits but the turks, taiwanese and chinas. hrm glad i cleared that up.

my turkish fren very cute and funny la. baked two of us a frozen pizza for supper...she said it was the first time she ate pizzas with pineapples and chicken on top...and asked if it was normal? me and a china girl looked at each other in disbelief lol. oo and she eats plain rice mixed with plain yogurt....and her nigerian housemate eats poached shrimps with red sauce for breakfast.

funny world we live in no?

ooo yea. i also forgot to mention that theres 1 girl from china whom i met through the turk....she happens to be a szechuan survivor. She said when it happened her whole ceiling fell and hit her head and bled and like cannot even walk properly so cannot evacuate the apartment. she also tot that that was the end cuz like shes living on the 7th floor. but when it all settled, there was no electricty/food/water/telecommunications for the nxt 10 days and the whole city (which is damn big) turned into a graveyard. Luckily her mum was a doctor and they survived on plain dumplings for those 10 days and slept on the grass in a playground. so like when their phones were back on, she had found out a few of her friends and relatives had perished.

amazing huh? she said the governement fabricates the figures where in actual fact 100s of thousands actually died. and that happened oni 5 months ago..cant belif she got over it that quickly

another interesting person i met was a local who happened to be enlisted in the british army. and when i asked him if hes ever been to asia before, he said hes only been to iraq....to fight for 6 months. he said it gets very exciting when theres action but really scary cuz always got bombs flying here and there. cool huh?
