Can I talk about work again? Haha the hours at work pass by very quickly, like seriously. This morning I was rushing like mad 'cause I was late, and it was 9+ when I reached the shop, and the next time I looked at the clock. It was 12pm already! Maybe time passed particulary quickly today 'cause I was working with xinyi. So fun :D And we actually betrayed haagen's and bought ice cream from venezia. And I was so guilty eating venezia in haagen's uniform. Then we were trying different ways of wearing the haagen dazs hat too and I was gonna cry from laughing. But later in the day things started to get a little bit stressful. While xinyi was away to put our new cans of ice cream in the store, I had to mop the floor, then there was a customer.. and I was so flustered. But that's still okay.. xinyi came back with the ice cream cans 'cause the freezer in the store wasn't switched on! So we were panicking, fearing the ice cream would melt and trying to squeeze the ice cream whereever we could. And then when that was finally settled 12 cakes came in! And there was a lack of space again so we had to make space and I was so afraid the cakes would melt again. Oh and then some manager from tangs called and wanted to teach me how to download over the phone. That was when I saw my cousin :D His friend and him bought ice cream! After downloading I didn't know how to get back into the cash register and so xinyi was helping me and my cousin concluded that I don't seem to know how to use the cash register :( So sad. Haha but I do! So yea, today was an exciting day at work. Stressful but exciting and fun :)) We were supposed to work til 4 but stayed til 6 in the end 'cause people were late and there were quite a lot of things to do. Xinyi and I went to tangs to collect cones for the first time and were both relieved that we had each other 'cause we looked really stupid carrying round containers. We were daring each other to balance the containers on our heads. haha. We're crazy people. So wheeeeee. Work!! :D And work helps keep my mind off sadder things too.. yep :)
After that we went to meet the 4/1 people! Haven't met them as a class for such a long time! Was happy to see them :)) We had dinner at crystal jade then stood outside crystal jade chatting for a while THEN stood at the taka fountain chatting for quite a long while and taking pics too. Shall upload all the photos another time!!
Talking about photos! We [6H] visited lin lao shi on chu san! He still looks so the same! The girls did most of the chatting this time 'cause the guys were busy talking about their army life, ignoring the girls and linlaoshi. Heh. And before we left we took our usual photo at our usual spot behind lin lao shi's dining table! Even the flowers [orchids] on his table are still the same. Or at least they look the same. Just that some people weren't there.. and prolly a few others who didn't go last/lastlast year went. I like looking at all the past photos we took at linlaoshi's house.. think those are my favourite 6H photos. :)
Love, ja

HI all!! Happy Chinese New Year!
I had my small little reunion dinner with my parents and sister then we headed to china town! Eeks was quite reluctant 'cause of the crowd and everything. But I'm glad I wasn't in too foul a mood when my father suggested we stay til 12am. And I'm even happy we stayed. Really felt quite high at 12am when they set of fireworks and FIRECRACKERS! If you think fireworks are loud, firecrackers are.. deafening really. The chinese new year atmosphere was really there during the fireworks n firecrackers display. But after that when everyone started to leave it was horrible. All the squeezing and shoving and people kicking my poor new sandals. Oh and this stupid guy went 'WL eh these people........' I thought he was pissed 'cause of the all the pushing but half a second after he said tt he pushed me. Like for no reason. I was like wth! He wasn't even walkin in the direction I was walking anymore but just had to give me a push. Idiot. Maybe he just wanted to take revenge on some random person aka me. :(
ANYWAYS! I haven't been blogging as much as before due to WORK! At Haagen Dazs and I absolutely adore work. Haha. It's so fun! Xinyi and I are like crazy over it. And we talk almost every night for hours about what happened during work etc and never get bored. So basically everyone at work's reallyy reallyyyyy nice. The 'seniors' are encouraging and never ever scold + allow us free ice cream sometimes and well the other few people I've met are very nice too (: Feels good doing something I enjoy (: Still got lotsa stuff to learn though but I'm not complaining. Xinyi and I have worked together twice! Fun :D Though quite a few emergencies cropped up the second time we worked together. Heh. Oh can someone pleasee come visit me when I'm working and order one of the ice cream blends! 'Cause I've never officially made one before. Hehe. So pretty pleasee? So yup I'm happy with my job and glad I didn't give up on it when I was waitin for someone to call. May work never get boring!
