Paid too little, earned too little

So, friday, saturday, and sunday were the busiest days of my first week with the new schedule. Half the time i was there, i'd been going around saying to my colleagues that we should be paid more since we have two cashiers' effort meshed together inside our carbon-based bodies. It sucks so bad that we worked our asses off, so so hard, only to find that we're still being paid the same rate. Sucks, sucks, sucks. But, what can we do? If i asked for a petition, i bet i'll be the only one.

Anyways, ytd i went to Darul Ihsan (BOYS) again with my father. He asked for my hands to help him in some admin stuffs again. It concerned the poor, the amount they shall received and some advices the volunteers offered. I witnessed first-hand how it all went down, and i felt sad. I heard so many sad stories from one aged mother, to a worried sister, daughter-in-law... There were several bedridden cases, polio and cancer cases, working-9-to-5-ain't-enough cases. When i heard a lady said she works at Shop N Save and only earns $4 per hour, i'm like... "And here i am, complaining i'm not paid enough." Ain't fair to them isn't it? I know.

OK OK, i'll stop with the depressing, sappy stories and get back to the real thing.

Pics, pics, pics!

Hey my peeps! I'm baaaaccckkkkk!!!! =) Hehe. Well, i wasn't away for long actually..... Anywho! =) Hehe. Just got back from work. Yes, y'all read right. I JUST GOT BACK FROM WORK.

Time Check: 02:11

Surprising? Nah. LOL. Anyways, i got new piccys since i've been loading y'all with boredom from my textfull of angst and whatnot. These are piccys on ONE GLOOMY THURSDAY during lab. LOL. [Nothing to say at the moment, thus the dull words in post]



She intentionally made that face. -___-



Great. She does a pretty, and i do an ugly. -______-



My little work area in the lab. =)



Stuffs you'll find in my bag (on a school day). Yes, inclusive of novel. =)



Stuffs you'll find in my little cosmetic pouch. [Yes, i bring it always]



Clearer view. =p



Some stud in class. LOL! Nah, it's just Terence sleeping away.

Well, these are from class. I've got loads where me, BF, and little sis met up under the block for some quality time. LOL. Mostly it was between me and BF, but sis was used to being around us so she actually did enjoy herself - until she got tired that a scowl grew on her face and we all jetted home. We met up because it's been quite a long time since me and BF sat down and just enjoyed each other's company. I kindda miss those times. Just look at his face, smile whenever he look at me with a quizzical look. I'd laugh at him, give him a peck on the cheek for old time sakes, and enjoy hearing his voice. Sighhh... Missing him now. Damn it. LOL.

Well, i won't show most of the piccys. But i will show a few. =) Enjoy!



Eh, who is dat in the middle??? Sebok jek.



Again! Sheesh!! LOL



Somehow my mouth chooses to stay closed and tight. =x



SMOOOOCCCHHH!!!



Ah, great. All gone ugly....... except for me, of course. Teehee =D



THE END. =)

I'm off, y'all! Ya'll take care aite? Hehe.

XOXO!

gone are the good times

Nothing seems right for me anymore. Nothing. Well, aside work and school.

I guess i've got terrible issues within me that're hard to make amends. Even though i tried, it wasn't hard enough and i crumbled. I turn into a monster and my life gets ruined.

Small things become big. Big things become irreversible nightmares. Nothing can change the fact that this happens with me all the time. Am i too sensitive? I hope not. Am i a perfectionist? Probably so. Am i going to lose something i hold dear to my heart.......?

More pics on Fri Night



Like old times.

What a waste. Seriously. Sorry, nurul-dearest.

I dunno what she was trying to do, but it looked like she was showing me THE FINGER.

Ah, a pretty shot. =)

She was mad about... something.

Ah, yes. What a pose. XD "Gimme a grr, baby! Pout for me! Pout!!"

The only shot of us, threesome, which looked gorgeous. No?

Top shot: Attempt 1
FAILED

Top shot: Attempt 2
OK larh tu!

Somehow... my phone can't get enough of her. -.-

I look evil! No!!

Uh... The End?

Shots of us outside Starbucks Coffee at Suntec City. Half the time, while we were roasting and sweating in our sweat inside my car (which has a moody air-conditioning system), we got lost trying to find the CARPARK ENTRANCE to Marina Square. Can you believe it? And although it's darn hard for me to admit, but i'm glad Ida knew the way around. If she wasn't there, and it's just me and Dily, i don't think we'd find our way OUT of town. Seriously. And when we followed street signs and trusted on our instincts, we finally entered the so-called FULL carpark, found a parking space, and breathed cool air. I was soooo relieved we found a parking space. I was so afraid that we might not find one. LOL.

Then we went up to Marina Square, sat at Burger King to have our dinner, and guess what? What a way to start off our night out, IDA. I was trying to prettily eat my chicken burger, when all of a sudden she drops her REGULAR-SIZED cup of Sprite to the floor. God knows how that happened. So, of course, being seated IN FRONT OF HER, i got quite soaked. Well, not that soaked, thank goodness. It was only my sandals that got wet. I made a face at her, sighed heavily, and watched her panic and giggle. Dily was beside her, shaking her head. I was in front of her, saying "What a nice way to start the night, Ida." I can't understand how one person could be so clumsy, have butterfingers, and just be so clumsy all at the same time. LOL. She's soooo accident-prone! Sheesh!

Then as i was cleaning my sandals, Dily dropped her fries and we teased her. LOL. We were teasing each other so much! I was being mean most of the time, but i just had fun with them. I was being proud of myself, since i've found out that i am pretty much funny. LOL! Then after that debacle, i went to Watsons and got myself a proper mascara. Haha. I was being so weird. Then we head off to Suntec City and sat at Starbucks. Once we entered, we were greeted by a very cute malay boy. But it wasn't special treatment of course. I was the one who walked in first anyway, so it can't be because of something else. He was trying to be friendly. LOL. So i asked the gurls what they wanted. With NO hesitation whatsoever, they ordered: Chocolate Cream Chip Frap and Raspberry Cream (I think). Then i asked if they wanted a slice of Oreo Cheesecake, and with NO hesitation as well, they said yes. I ordered those stuffs for them, another Chocolate Cream Chip for myself, smiled at the boy named Yan, and walked outside to our table.

Dily was attracted to him, no doubt. Ida was teasing her so much about it! LOL! Now that i think about it, we were teasing her to the extreme! Even down to her braces! I felt bad, but it was because of her expressions that got me going. Like fuel to fire. LOL. Sorry, love. So we got our drinks and there we were, snapping pics and laughing at each other. Then it was around 10+ and we head off home. I can't remember much of Friday night, so mind me for being very bland on my description. =)

Weekend's over, so work hard on your weekdays, y'all! =)

XOXO!

Snap, snap, snap



I am green with envy, yet i am in the pink of health.
I am grey with silence, yet i am blue with emotions.

So... Chinese, or Malay?


The only time you'll see him here. =)

I just decided to finally post a pic of the man i love very dearly, and place close to my lil' precious heart. And yes, we have our wonderful ups and terrible downs, but we stuck thru it and hopefully had gotten closer. Both of us had suffered through each other's horrid behaviours, had seen past our armours, and saw our vulnerability. I hope the respect i have for him, stays on par with his respect for me, for as long as we can stay together. Like everyone's trying to tell all of us, communication is key. Keep communicating, don't lose that flow of talk. You have problems, share. You have insecurities, talk. You have pains, have a shoulder to cry on.

He's a wonderful guy, my loves. Really he is. When he's wonderful, he's undoubtedly wonderful. I ain't rubbing it in your face, or being cheesy, or anything that's tacky and whatnot. I'm happy that i still have someone by my side. Blessed, content, satisfied, lonesome-no-more. =) He's my best friend, my buddy, my "big brother". Hehe. Don't think dirrty now y'all, aite? =) Hehe.

Well then, going off with my lovely Ida and Dily tonight. Probably Starbucks. Gonna give them a treat. Yesh2. =)

XOXO!
