Karen's 28nov08
7:25 PM
a long entry. have time if ur interested or be left unfulfilled. haha.  NI HAO! Musta araw mo? How are you? Comment ca va? I wanna blog, apparently, my tiredness has knocked me out for 20min already. Gosh, Karen's getting tired by 11pm. hehehehe... I like it!!! lol... because I see the body clock changes. Expresso shots doesnt work for me anymore. I wouldnt wanna rely on it anyway because it's bad for health and I want a good nite sleep. 1. So today was really another blessing day. To start of is SCHOOL. Didnt feel like goin, again; again, that freaking temptation knocks me out but Im thankful I was able to rebuke the feeling of regret... Cz watever unhappiness of a feeling is not something from God nor what He wants you to enjoy or dwell at. It's a strong statement for me and it's pushing me to be better. =) - Machining is dreadful! Im utterly scared to my wits at the danger it can bring. Not to mention my teachers are not definite about the instructions they give us compared to ITE lecturers. Plus, our machines are way more older versions. Go00ossh. But its all good. Im the only rose amongst the thorns and I get the help I dont need to ask. Haha. Thank you guys. Esp this Mr Yew, who's.... well, linguistic and I am amazed at how he speaks malay at a minute then switches to mandarin the next. nakakainspire sya. lol. Thank you for my ever patient and helpful lecturer. =D and their assistants. woooooo!!! nakakagana ng pumasok! lol... Im feelin that kick of energy... I just have to remind myself that now=D Sheezahneegah, just when the term is ending, I am given this inspiration! hhahahaaha... well, better than never ^_^ Thanks Lord!
- And then! My job pieces were MARKED infront of our teacher -face to Face! weeeeh! Was really OKAY... not something I cud have distinction with... kasi alam mo naman... I need help manuevering those giantic machines and my measurements at every angle is off by mm! lol... I passed, thank you Lord and dear mates who helped me. haha. Pic attached.
2. WORK! HELLO STARBUCKS! hahaha... its my second family. Been there almost close to 2 years baby. I've grown so much as a person thru time. Be it in business, partnership, friendship, personality, speed, customer service, relations, strategies.... they made/making me better. I love them all... definitely a big part of my life because I've became more independent really. -
To grow, experience the first hand situation n train myself and not be trained stereotypically, gets? Yea. Big realisation for me too. ^_^ Just so you mite wanna know... Its so hard to adapt in that environment... to relate to strangers but eventually trust them in running a business where theyve to put up with ur ugly attitudes but still willing wholeheartedly and believin in u that u can be a better person... ive cried in that store, infront of my dear partners now and then.... thats why theres just something about Starbucks that I cant leave.... its more than I can put into words and too long for you to read here. haha. yan na yan. -
-
and today... as usual, Karen with her perky attitude. Its like I transform once I start working and after working. There's this attached-partner from another store. He noticed my personality and atttitude before and during my working hours. Who would have thought someone actually does that? Observe you and tell you their observations. hehe. Well it was really a good comerade. He was intimidating. I find smart people intimidating. lol. They make me reflect on myself and help me change indirectly. He's taking law, (why do u ever even consider wrking partime in Starbucks? sheeze. law is freaking HARD, i mean, u need loadsa time for that field) I was me, all the while... He's like this basketball player whom I work with in the floor serving starbucks customers. ahahahaha.. it was funny really. Before and during the shifts I received comments again on how I looked. ^_^ I dont know whats up lately with these people. Niwae, thanks for the comments of being attractive. ahaaa. And well, my girl-partners are having the same outlook as me. nacks! I love! hehehehe. -
-
He made this experimental drink, as what he calls and even shared it with customers. lol. how daring. Must admit... I loved it! I tried doing what I thought the ingredients were but didnt hit the target. He was suppose to give me the ingredients but didnt cz he's scared my hyperness would diminish his recipe. musta ka naman bratha? =P labo! haha. -
-
amazing thing is, we exchanged email adds. Hello smart ass. ahahaha... he was encouragin me to go attachment in their store. they need ppl like me? hahaha... mmmmm.... -
The customers Ive encountered are amazing bunch of people. I feel the world in my hands. the great thing about these people is that Im able to communicate with them deeper than an ordinary local cz I know their language -may it be abit or more. The bunch that I like was of course, the French. there were about 3-4 of them. hehehehe... We had short conversations of either all french or eng-french and it felt great! hehe... made me mesmerised my days in french classes and recalling wat ive learnt and actually applying them already. yehey! yea, they're amazed that an asian like me talks to them in their language. somehow they felt at home. wooo... best thing is that, Vivien, a strong-accent regular customer of ours never seized to smile whenever we speak french. I think that small knowledge made her starbucks experience a full one. =D -
The were the Germans. I learnt how to say "thankyou" -pronounced properly because of a customer who taught me upon giving her drink. (she thought me more than thankyou! haha...) That simple word of them makes Germans smile without fail every time I end our conversation. -
The Chinese mainly from China. I took the courage to help the chinese couples who asked if any of our staff can speak mandarin. I said, "a little" in mandarin to my reply and they were glad. heeeeee=D blessing! it was awesome really... and that smile from them is enough to keep me satisfied. (its actually more than that. they encourage me too and friendships are formed, just like that. =D ) -
Oh yea, the different ways of giving off a drink: British: "Cheers", Americans: "See you again." ahahaha... not to mention the array of different English Accents, Singaporean, Filipinos and the huge group from Aussie, America, Japan and Britain =) 3. Lastly... my thought of the day: Lesbians. -
Didnt think this first encounter in my morning will be repeated in the evening too. on my way to sch there was this plump lady. she was balancin and fell at times during the bus ride. At every fall, she was rescued by a butch (sowie for being direct), shorter than her and mini in size. They kissed. Lips to lips after the rescue. haha. Sweet noh? well here's my thought: Females usually wanna be catered for. They wanna be protected -given security almost like the idea of fairy tales. Lookin on the other side, being a butch takes ALOT of courage. I look up to them. Instead of wanting that security filled up for them by the guys, they themselves give that desire for their same species. Imagine the amount of greater courage, strength, boldness theyve to encouter to be like a man... or rather, protect their own kind far greater than they should be deserving. Im in awe... Maybe, there's no wonder why many attractive ladies go for their own kind or vice versa. Good nite frens. =) Enjoy the weekends, seize it and hava blessed one. Open House this Thursday! ^_^
