one of those random things.

RECOMMENDATIONS!

I strongly recommend people to visit and join ali's facebook group - " Hi, have you eaten?"
http://www.facebook.com/#/group.php?gid=195052136974&ref=ts

:DDDD. read the commentaries/details. :DDD

My hamster just keeps looking at me. Hamsters. Like all 5 in a cage, and apple too. haha.
sooo cute! and I head over to pinch their stuffed cheeks till they hurl all contents out.

LOL. currently having visitors over.

REVIEWS:
I just started reading my old books "Princess Diaries Series"
just finished book 1 to 4 today. currently at no. 5.

pretty good i supposed, but i feel at the newest ones, its so commercialised?
the content quality just zooped downhill.
but its still worth a read? just to know if Mia goes with JP or Michael.
not revealing here, no spoilers.


Guess if you like the MEG CABOT series,
you should totally go for "the Mediator" , its pretty much about this teenager and her problems. If you aren't pretty much a fan of reading, but like romance storylines, this will have your interest!

SELLING: (to all out there)
-Sabrina the teenage witch NOVEL (mostly books 1 to 52; several books in between are missing)

-RL stine (Fear street, cheerleader series, etc)
-Oslen Twins (So Little Time etc.)
-Singapore True Ghost Stories ( BOOK 1 to 10 )
-Mr Midnight Series ( BOOK 1 to 17)

you can leave a message at my tagboard for interested buyers.

BEHIND THE SCENES. WORKING LIFE 911

First job ever @ RED MANGO. (no names included!)
:DD no pictures, sorry.
I'm professional- see? I don't use my phone when im working :D

I WASHED/SWEPT THE FLOOR/MOPPED/CUT FRUITS/SERVED CUSTOMERS/PLACED SAMPLES/PROMOTED_SAMPLES+VOUCHER/CLEAN TABLE/BE CASHIER/MAKE YOGHURT to sell/BEAT YOGHURT/MAKE SMOOTHIE and LATTE.

TODAY!
and i wiped the glass windows yesterday. had to climb on chair.

haha. Its supposed to be my 2nd day at work:X
Its actually training.
Yesterday(my 1st day EVER) was a mess.
Didn't get to get any hands-on much like kwok or wx?


CUSTOMERS:
-no one taught me how to serve? it was impromptu.
-all the talking & questions?
-lucky i read up facebook -RED MANGO and WIKIPEDIA. go wiki>type in RED MANGO FRANCHISE
(all you folks still hung up on my dead blog! a shout out to you. RESEARCH before you work)

CASHIER:
-i was given a lesson on how to type in for the 4 types in a voucher and 5 minutes later, a throng of hungry yoghurt tasters left me to fend for myself at the cashier
-luckily luckily! no loss of money! haha count on me:DD im a fast learner. i made 50 cents extra.
NOT TOO BAD!
-DO NOT. repeat: DO NOT EVER EVER, leave drawer open and unattended!

CUTTING FRUITS:
-trust me, cutting a ripe mango is not EASY. you have to use a knife, and a somewhat spoilt/hard to cut-peeler, do it fast and be neat. You can't hold it tight or its not edible or PRESENTABLE. And. You're holding a knife. BEWARE blood and fingers.
-always ALWAYS wear a glove

SMOOTHIE/LATTE & YOGHURT:
-never learn finish? shown halfway on mango smoothie. go impromptu. ps. refer to recipe and E's labelling! other fruits- improvise.
-hard to make a small cup. but i got the making of yoghurt tip today after observing E yesterday. M does it really well! ( she was here earlier )
-basically i made 3 or 4 tubs of 5 litres yoghurt today.

MACHINE?:
-super easy to assemble. very systematic. no memorising needed.
-washing? SUCKS. you have to drain out ALL THE YOGHURT. SCRUB and WASH IT. and DRY.
-put more lubricant! = ensure no black portions from friction. easier to wash.
-hard techniqute to remove rings of rubber. each is expensive.

PROMOTING?
-totally easy, just be polite, daring and helpful. CUSTOMERS are all nice people! thank you!
-know your basic facts. ( yoghurt-lactose and fructose, no additional sugar)
-know prices, calculate and give customers the best deal! rmb to explain to them.
-get them samples to try, if they cant decide, let them have mixed.
-rmb to key in and pass them napkins and vouchers for next visit.


colleagues?
-im not with KY or WX, they're together btw, i got picked for shenton way!
-come find me! im at B1-06. just don't come during the peak period. :DD
-yeah. im working with auntie M(: met the 3 ICs and bosses:D
-always ask you to eat first, but let them go ahead(: You're the new staff. not them.
-said i learn quickly! haha. 2 days and i can sorta handle :D but thanks auntie M for help!



stood for 12 hours without sitting much.
ouch. legs killing me.
remedy? yupp.
use hairdryer to blow at your feet and knees and aching areas after bath:D

Class SEating Arrangement + update

UPDATES:
1st April 2009. Happy April Fools' Day.
Less than 5 mths till 0 LVL. Less than 2 mths till ORAL.

Things have been progressing so fast that i have little time to stop and think.
Nationals are racing at full force, reaching in slightly more than a week's time.

Whats up more?
1.E.V interview in the school taking place from today onwards.

2.Election Campaign and our 5 beloved candidates are:
Bianca, Han Jie, Hidayat, Hui Xian and Nicholas ( in alphabetical order )

3.Sports day 2009
which happens to coincides with nationals. I suppose as the enitre CCA is out for our competition, we will not be taking part in sports day.
Ugghhhh. How unfair.

4. ABC campaign.
Do visit. tk-anti-bullying.blogspot.com/ for further details.

CLASS SEATING ARRANGEMENTS:
The past three weeks, including March Holidays have been Hectic! Hectic! Hectic!
There are so many changes made to our lessons in class, especially the seating arrangment in class.


I have been paired up wth Shi Rong for both Physics and Biology, because of Miss Tan's special arrangement for the enitre class.
I know for the past few days I have been harping on changing my seats.
But yeah, this isn't anything against you Shi Rong.
Sorry if i have offended you.
I just wish to seat with the girls ( Belinda and Shirin ) for Physics because I'm used to working with them. For Biology, i just hate seating at the guys' side.
At least if Jiayu or Sin Miao was seated somewhere near there, it wouldn't be that bad.
And i have to warn you in advance, my physics really really is bad.


Out for tuition now.
BE BACK at 10 pm
