Finally, I get an off day at last. I have not been updating myself with loads of thing recently, especially in replying emails etc. Gosh, if u only knew how difficult it is for me to get access to the internet here. Thank gosh work is filling my time hence, I don’t have to suffer the consequence of being cut off the rest of the world having to not receive any phone calls, emails until days or even weeks. The only person that I probably get to call is my mom and then again, that’s like what….once in a fortnight, meanwhile its not that I don’t wanna apply for a phone line, I figure there’s no point, cuz I am going to be here for only a short period, besides not that I have that many people to call and what’s more its not cheap to pay for the fees. Nevertheless, I ll resort to this for another 7 weeks or so, and then its back to M’sia…:P
Its winter now, days are getting shorter and nights longer, the sun rises at 630am here and sets by 530pm, sad rite.Meanwhile my time here is getting shorter and shorter, Thanksgiving is just next week, and my big shot boss of cuz is scheming on making the most out of it, with throngs of people coming down here for the last minute shopping thing, I guess its now or never to move in for the final kill to make the $$$. There’s like so many different cookies, tins, check this out snowball filled pretzels , seriously with ice and all that we ordered, and I ve been busy labeling all these things, packing chocolate balls and stuffing myself with them…lol what to do I cant resist it man, and of all things working with chocolates ….really it’s a lil of a dream job rite now…:)
Then of course, there’s the more important stuff, the COFFEE, u know we have more than 50 flavours of coffee, from chocolate raspberry, pumpkin pie spice, coconut kiss, hawaian hazelnut,…..u name it all. I am bagging the coffees like crazy and brewing it like hell everyday, cuz I just realized that the ppl here are seriously addicts and boy the bags just disappear once on the shelves. I smell so coffee these days, no wonder I have so many ppl staring at me one kind whenever I am out, maybe my coffee fragrance is just too irresistible, yucks….well as long as the cuties is the ones that I am attracting, who cares , hmm….
Meanwhile work is interesting as usual, OBY Coffee house is undergoing a major transformation, they brought in samsung brands of computerized cash register,whole entire place is now equipped with all these cameras, basically, oby wants to make his place an upstream market, well who blames him when his regulars are ppl like Kelly ( the biatch) but also a bloody known gazillionaire, check this out….she owns 17 McDonalds in the states, what the fk….and yet she’s so stingy on tips, complains bout how expensive our coffees are, gosh I just don’t understand, woman, u probably have enough cash to buy the like 20 coffee house, whats with the $3.95 a cup thingy…then again, there’s still the nicer ppl which I love making coffee for, I get like $5 tips sometimes just for making a shot of espresso. But its just a rare occasion lol…
Actually, working as a waitress in here enables u to earn a lot especially if u r working in a high end restaurant. The basic is rather little, because u expect to get it from ur tips. But since I am a barista, I get a standard pay which is 3 times more than a waitress, but my tips are very little and it depends on the customers whether they want to give me or not as they are not compel too.
But it probably comes out the same, cuz when business is slow especially now, the poor waitress wont get anything then, on the other hand, I still get my steady income regardless slow or not slow, but of course my boss works me like hell. But its still alright I guess ( mind me I love to exaggerate a lil too much sometimes hehe). Last Thursday, I went for the biggest shopping spree of my life, gosh I am high maintenance, and now I better work harder to keep my habits, shit man…I prolly bought everything on Sale at Guess, Coach, Polo, and tommy. And I am still waiting to hit Abercrombie, Gap, CK, etc…but really I cannot be blamed, the price was like one third u pay in M’sia , its incredible, the same thing, but the cost, so much more cheaper. I have to really stop myself man, u should have seen how mad a shopper I am.
oh I went to a highschool football game..Check this out, I saw it live, no joke, it was Sussex tech vs polytech college last season game. You have no idea how cute footballers are, and when they tackle each other they fall like a pile of cuties waiting to be picked up…man my imagination is running wild.
As usual, we were the only Asians there, so of cuz I get my fair share of attention at the stadium ( not very huge one though), apparently there were larger stadiums around. This is so cool right, a high school completes with a stadium just for their own football games, oh did I tell you that they have an entire garage fill with cars, spare parts, etc, because they happen to have subjects such as automobile tech or something, its equivalent to our KH subjects in M’sia school, cept that we study the engines and memorize like hell whereas they get a real live car, and they get to modify it and build their own engines whatever they want for their project, how rich can a school get?????
OH btw the cars are not just ordinary cars, u know chevys, mustangs, Hondas…crap man….well what to do, this is like the best tech school in the whole state and Ariane, my coworker is just so bloody lucky to get to study dere, oh rite she’s 16 and she owns a horse too, cuz her extracurricular activities at school is horseback riding, so u kinda need to buy a horse to enroll into it…sigh….at 22, I don’t even own a car yet….and she owns a horse, it’s name is Sadie and it cost usd 2000 for it, and u maintain it at $300 a month which there’s Amish ppl to take care for u. And if I work here for 3 months, I know I can buy that horse too, so, u see u can drive ur Porsche, but I have a HORSE….i ll ride it around, save petrol, and it keeps me warm, and I still get all the attention LOL….what bull shit…
I think I have updated most of the stuff, neways, hope I’ll update more on Black Friday event next week….bet u dunno what is it, ll tell more stories then…till then.thats all for now…(gosh I write and talk too much..:) )
