May I Take Your Order?

Somehow, today I was thinking about the days when I used to work in HD and I found that I really really really really miss working there. :(

It's not the workmates. Missing the workmates isn't too bad because I can walk by and see them anytime or go out with them anyway. It's the things that are unique to work and can't be done anywhere else that I miss. Such as taking people's orders, recommending new items, telling them not to order the fondue, etc...

I remember once there was this big table sitting at table 11-13 and I went to take their order. They were wondering whether they should order the fondue or something else and asked me 'Do you think we should get the fondue?' I asked if they actually wanted the fruits and biscuits and they were like 'No, we don't really want the biscuits, we just want the chocolate sauce.' so I just told them 'Then don't get the fondue, get the Seventh Heaven or Paradise, depends on how many people wanna share it and you can always order extra chocolate sauce.'

They said 'That's not a bad idea! I think we'll get both!' and they also ordered some Banana Splits. It just makes me SO HAPPY to make people happy. I wonder if that's some sort of syndrome...

And then there's the kids! Not the spoiled annoying ones who demand things, but the cute, shy ones whose faces just light up when the ice cream arrives. I always feel like I'm bringing them a rainbow or something, watching their big smiles and bright eyes. Let's not talk about when that kid puked and I had to clean it up though. Boys are just useless...

Oh and let's not forget the cute guys you get to ogle while working. It's just your curse to be ogled if you're hot so live with it. Not long after I started working, there was this table with 4 people: a couple with another guy and his mum. So from what I could tell, the older woman was mother to the 2 guys and the girl was one's of the guy's girlfriend/fiancee/wife. I was running up and down the stairs all night and knowing me, I was sweating already.

So when I was taking this particular table's order, the mum and girlfriend were off to the toilet or something and the 2 guys were ordering. After I recommended some stuff, (Cappuccino Truffle is a must, and also Paradise if you're sharing) I repeated their order and asked 'Anything else?' and the guy with the girlfriend was like 'Yeah my brother here was wondering if he could have your number.' and his brother was like shooting him looks and going 'Har har he's just joking....' and I just said 'Nope, but you can have my shop's number.', feeling secretly flattered. (The brother who asked could've been just trying to put his brother in a bad spot to make him embarrassed but I don't care!) Can't deny the single brother had really nice eyes though, he was kinda cute.

Hahaha this reminds me of how people had to ask me 'What's your name?' because all my name tag said at the time was 'Trainee, Junior Crew' and then after telling them my name, they would go 'How do you spell that?' That was kinda fun somehow. Sometimes I forgot my name wasn't on my name tag and thought to myself 'Can't they read?' Mean yet true. :P

Another thing I miss a lot: THE TAIWANESE FAMILY!! Honestly, they were my favourite regulars. Always speaking with their Taiwanese accent and always so friendly, you just can't not like them! I hear they don't come every week now, just some weeks. I remember how they came as a family but didn't talk much, mostly just doing their own thing. Mum would be doing Sudoku or something, Dad would be playing with his iPad, Son would be reading his book (mostly thrillers and crime novels). The son had super long hair that all the girls envied and always wore plain, black T-shirts with jeans and steel-toed boots, thought sometimes he wore loafers. WHAT AN ADORABLE FAMILY! They also brought along their daughter and her family when she was out (I guess from Taiwan??) She has 2 kids, 1 boy and 1 girl, kinda cute and not noisy at all! (I like)

I miss working... I wonder if it'll be the same if I worked somewhere else. We shall see next year. Not sure if anywhere can live up to HD... but I could be biased. :P

Until next time, my dear, abandoned blog!! (haha no one reads you anyway, except me!)

HELLO WORLD I'M BACK!

HALLOOOOO PEOPLE! (read that the way PistolShrimps says 'HALLOOO YOUTUBE!')

I realise I've abandoned my blog for about a year already and it has been decaying bit by bit in that period of time but GUESS WHAT?! I'm blogging again! At least I'm blogging ONE POST. So.... if I abandon my blog all over again after today you can't blame me! :P

The person you have to thank for inspiring to blog again is Tan Yi Ling. Just 'cause she mentioned I haven't blogged in a long time. XD Today's post is gonna be about my latest updates!! Plus I just wanna see if anyone actually looks at this thing. Megan, still got your RSS feed? Hahah bet not! Now that you no longer use your pc. I think....

OK SO WHAT'S NEW?!

First up, I resigned from work. Yeah.... Major change I needa get used to. Today's the first day I am no longer a part of the Haagen-Dazs junior crew and I don't feel the pain yet. But maybe that's 'cause I don't usually work weekdays anyway. :P I even made sure I have a jam-packed weekend all planned out this weekend to distract me from.... stuff.... HOWEVER! I have the best workmates on Earth and they bought me 8 SLICES of Secret Recipe cake as a farewell party for me. THANKS SO MUCH YOU GUYS though I know you guys don't know my blog exists! They made my weekend an extremely happy one. :D

Next up, someone said something that made me MELTTTTTTT!!! Very sweet sentence that shall not be mentioned here. But that made me happy too! With a great big dopey grin!!!

Another awesome thing! My darling, Charlie uploaded another video, looking oh-so-charming with his wavy brown hair and pretty eyes!! Going 'AHHHHHHHHHHHH' all over the place and rubbing his nose with a bowl and making his cute Charlie faces and making brownies that I just might try because my mum said they looked nice. Michael Aranda and some other girl that looks pretty was in it too and Michael is HOT!

Now for something that hasn't happened yet but is GOING TO happen! I'm making Oreo Cheesecake tomorrow!!! AND GUESS WHAT?! Just for reading this post, I'm gonna give YOU a slice! That's right, YOU!! Don't look over your shoulder, I'm talking to YOU! So come back in 24 hours and I'll have a slice of Oreo Cheesecake waiting for you! :D NO JOKE!

Is this post long enough? Do I need pictures? Oh crap maybe I do... Hang on I'll upload some..

PIMPLE COOKIES!

Everybody seems to be getting pimples lately. Is it the heat? Is it the late nights? Is it stress? Who knows!

But anyway, I was complaining to a friend of mine about them, and the things that so-called friend were saying made me think of Pimple Cookies!

What are pimple cookies, you ask? Well they are cookies made with strawberries in them so it looks like the cookies have pimples! Brilliant idea or what?!

So I went on Google and found a recipe for Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies (aka Pimple Cookies) and decided to try them out! They looked hideous but I thought maybe they would turn out nice...

(By the way, Chris was absolutely disgusted by the idea and Megan liked it. Typical...)

I finally bought my strawberries on Saturday and made the cookies on Sunday. I didn't like them.

First of all, they didn't look pimpley enough to me. Yeah, it was reddish but I didn't have enough strawberries so...

Secondly, they tasted HORRIBLE! The recipe did not tell me they were soft cookies but they came out soft, even after adding a few more minutes to the cooking time. And you could barely taste the strawberries in them! The only thing that gave it some taste was the chocolate chips. Though my brother and mum seemed to like it...

Ok, maybe they're not that bad.... I just don't like them. Never ever making them again! They tasted like kuih bulu with chocolate chips. Just imagine that!

Here're some pictures I took of them. Tell me if you think they actually look pimpley.

I also made Afghan biscuits today. And chocolate chip cookies... But I didn't take any pictures of those yet. Here're what my Afghan biscuits look like. Mmmmmm... Yummy....

This post was dedicated to my art. Get it? HAHAHHAA!

My Mummy's Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother and I woke up at 7am to make my mum breakfast in bed. I know, we're like the best kids on earth.....

My brother was smart enough to plan what to make. However, he forgot that sausages need time to defrost after taking them out of the freezer and that's where I come in!!!! I also made the toast and even put the butter on them... Awesome or what? Sometimes i amaze myself...

Oh yeah and my mum said we didn't put any flowers on the tray but who thinks of stuff like that?!

Anyway, I also made her a super cute card which was 100% my idea n made by moi! My art has obviously improved a lot. *smirks*

My bro's card looked like something made by a 5 year-old. And he's supposed to be the artistic one! *snorts*

Then at night, we went to Hard Rock Cafe where my dad bought my mum her birthday present - dinner.

My mum looking happy 'cause she knows she has an amazing daughter.

We ordered NACHOS!!!!!!!!!!!! So good........ They were SO BIG too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bro looking like all his Christmases have come in one go, 'cause he's got cake in front of him.

The band came on at 10.30pm and I really liked them! The lead guitarist was REALLY GOOD and he could even play the intro for Sweet Child O' Mine with his guitar behind his head! Cool or what?! The girl singer was my dad's favourite. I liked her too. She sang nice!

They were called The Hybrid Band and 2 of the band members were Thai while the rest were Filipino. The bassist is, by far, the cutest member! He looks like a fisherman! Just look at him!

Cute right??????? He and the drummer are Thai. The drummer was cute too. You should see him when he's playing. Hahahaha......

'The picture below is of the lead guitarist who is just oh-so-cool. Thought I hate his hair. It was long and straightened! But I guess rock stars need long hair...

Here are more pictures of them. The whole band. Try and catch them at Hard Rock Cafe soon, 'cause I think they're leaving next week........ I'm not sure.....
