Worked morning shift (as usual) on Friday and Saturday. Ended up, I couldn't even watch my favourite shows proper. I slept through... until I heard the lovely sound of the viola performance. I'm lucky I didn't take up violin, if not I'll bang my head on the wall. Hey, the sound of viola is heavenly lah. Something in between a violin and a cello couldn't be too bad ya?

Anyway, I had an encounter with a crocodile customer yesterday. I guess I dun have to do much explaining about that customer's attitude right? You can just relate it to a crocodile.

Customers aren't always right, at least their attitude aren't. If they can go left, then why can't I? He doesn't even know how we function. People talk to you in a good tone and you dun appreciate. You good. But I even better. I walked away without even hearing him finish his (last!) words. My new manager even came to tell me to "chill". Yea, I did chill when I saw him eating alone. Just look at his face and you'll confirm chill.

Alright, enough of crocodiles.

Actually, I dun really like to do kitchen alone. I prefer someone to help me. Working hand in hand is better. So working on weekdays also have good and bad. Good is there's less customers. Bad is you have to handle everything yourself, unless it's real busy lahs.

E and I was doing kitchen yesterday. I think it's the first time we've ever made so much coffee in a few hours. I had a great laugh when he dropped something when I was steaming milk. I'll always remember that scene. So funny. Haha.

E and KX were surprised I'm already in Year 2...

KX: You next week starts school issit?
Me: No. 28th.
KX: Huh? Why so late? You in what school?
Me: NYP.
KX: I thought is 14th?
Me: That's for Year 1 bah. I in Year 2 le.
KX: I thought you Year 1 leh.
Me: I dun look like issit? Ok, thank you!

So he went to tell E too...

E: You Year 2 meh?
Me: I dun look like issit? Thank you thank you.

I presumed it's a compliment. LOL.

"No worries I understand" is really a consoling phrase. Things that I fear is now coming. I dunno how should I react. My eyes feel teary whenever I think of it. But I know I have to be strong. If I dun, then who will?

I was browsing through some blogs and came upon this video - Bulgarian show "Music Idol". Her name is Valentina Hasan. According to her, the song that she was singing is called "Ken Lee", and not "Without You". The name, however, holds some percentage of 亲切感.

It's no longer a matter of good voice or what, but it is definitely of high entertainment value. She was, of course disqualified in the auditions, but was asked to perform that song in the show again. By that time, her pronunciation did improve a bit, but the audiences wanted to hear it originally. They even sang along the most classic part - "Ken Lee tulibu dibu douchoo".

Is she the second William Hung?

Do watch it. :p


Mariah Carey's "Without You"

Just when I've decided not to work when school reopens, my new timetable is hinting to me that maybe I should, after all. C'mon, no school on Fridays.

On my part, I wish I can work. But I'm not sure about my parents. I mean, my GPA did improve when I wasn't *working and studying at the same time.

*Note that 'working' comes before 'studying'. I only noticed this after I finished typing. So I guess I still prefer working. I just dun understand why people always say they'd rather study. Or is it that my job is not stressful enough... But dun you think it's so much easier to quit your job than to say quit school after not being able to achieve your targeted marks or sales?

Alright, I guess it's time to persuade my parents to let me work. I think if they really allow me to work, then I've to start persuading myself not to go for work every week, especially when it's time to chiong for projects. If I'm really working, I'd definitely work on Fridays only. I'm no fool to work on busy Saturdays. :p

Conclusion:
To me, it's SHOULD I, OR SHOULD I NOT.
To my parents, it's CAN OR CANNOT.

Haiya... 听天由命.
