another TUESDAY outing with the bimbos.
back to TP to eat my chicken chops and ice mocha again!
haha.
and all the way to vivo.
with chou xueli trying her best to resist temptation.
and youyou trying her best to tempt her.
LOL.

and we're talking about our mahjong session at someone's funeral again.
like about 50 years or more later.
maybe the first might be Nicholas.
wahaha.
sitting around a square table, trying our best to look at the tiles and to shout those NECESSARY words out as loud as we can do.
with youyou being the pro mahjong player.
chou xueli being the old bimbo.
and with rosy being an old j-rocker playing with us too.
LOL.
seriously, it will be a big joke when this day comes.
=D

oh ya. one more thing.
next time take photos can.
i just realized my blog's full of words now can.
=)

was whining about my face again.
not because of the pimples, but the overall.
like why is it a GL face?
DUH. i've whining about it anyway.
haha.

and the reply that i get back was:














"cause you're GUCCI!"





still see no linkage??















"cause you're GUCCI LANG, making your initals to be GL."





=.="
which means I'm destined to have a GL face can.

GL = Group Leader = Guai Lan = Gucci Lang.
.....


and i thought I'll be the only one when secretaffair told me this.



"basket. my initial's GL too. cause it's GERMAINE LING."





enough of telepathy.
no wonder so many people don't like our faces.
just because we had destined GL faces.
basket.
I'm going for plastic surgery tomorrow.
LOL.

seems like it's getting more and more dusty in here.
haha.
been working non-stop since Tuesday can.
can't even have a proper sleep.
quited from TCC last night.
reason being: PIMPLES're popping out, as though they're free can.
=.="
ok. main reason is acutally i've got no time for school and social life.
imagine i go to work after school.
no people ask me out in the morning, cause most of them, including me myself, slept late and of cause woke up late.
haha.
so afternoon's school.
and evening's rush to work and till midnight.
by the time i reached home, it's 2am.
and this cycle goes on and on.
where in the world got time??
haha..

and I'm not going back to F&B again.
cui can.
work till so late.
and i serious don't understand how in the world i can stand to work 12 hours in Hd previously.
just 8 hours, my body's screaming for help.
LOL.
and i realized that people at clark quay just love to know other people's name.
so it's like managers called "GUCCI", colleagues called "GUCCI", and even customers called "GUCCI".
like suddenly TCC became a GUCCI boutique.
wahaha!
ok. not funny.
=D























it's Saturday, and it's BOYFRIEND day!!
=D

He met her on a party.
She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her,
while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him.
She was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.
They sat in a nice coffee shop.
He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable.
She thought, "please, let me go home...."
suddenly he asked the waiter,

'would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.'

Everybody stared at him.
His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously,

"why did you have this hobby?"

He replied:

'when I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I like playing in the sea. I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time when I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown. I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there'.

While saying that, tears filled his eyes.
She was deeply touched..
"That's his true feelings from the bottom of his heart. A man who can said out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home."

Then she also started to speak about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, and also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date.
She realized that actually he was a man who meets all her demands.
He was kind hearted, warm, careful and tolerance towards her.
He was such a good person, but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story,

the princess married to the prince, they were living the happy life.
And every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee,
as she knew that's the way he liked it.


After 40 years, he passed away, leaving a letter which said:

'My dearest,
please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life but i've promised you that i won't lie to you for anything.
Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing, so I'll tell you the truth:

I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.

But I have had the salt coffee for my whole life!
Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you.
Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, I'll still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."

Her tears made the letter totally wet.
Someday, someone asked her:

"what's the taste of salty coffee?"


"It's sweet."





actually i don't know why i wanted to post this either.
haha.
just feel that years down the road, when all of us have our own lives,
like what youyou, chow xueli and i were talking about the other day,
when all of us were around the age pof 70, will we still remember one another.
or maybe we had lost contact with one another for decades,
until one day when one of us were browsing through the newsapaper and saw some familiar faces.
guess that is the time when most of us will gather under that person's block and start my endless talks and rounds of mahjong.

wahaha!
okie. like 2 totally no linkage topics.
LOL.

yesterday was the worst event i've seen at work.
basket.
working in INTERCONTINENTAL has made me seen different faces of people in different events.
i had 2 events yesterday.
one was a high tea reception for people who're interested in some investments and another a farewell lunch for some big shot in some company.

and when i say the worst event, i mean the high tea.
why?
you know, when the hungry ghost festival's approaching, those hungry will be waiting at the gates of Hades just to come to earth.
or whatever stories that human can think of.
anyway, those peoples were like 40 plus and above.
my god.
the moment the ballroom's doors are opened, they're like those ghost that haven't been eating anything for the past one year can.
=.="

worse, they were eating while queuing.
stuffing food into their mouths and put more food onto their plates, till it's super duper full.
than came this part.
MINUTES later, plastic bags were seen.
taking away dim sum, baos, drumsticks, desserts, as though like it's a take-away session instead of buffet.
and i thought only AUNTIES were doing all these at corners of the ballroom.
i tell you, UNCLES were worse than that.
they just stand in front of the table and grabbed those food with their bare hands.
and i can guarantee, their hands are FARKING dirty.
=.="
GROSS till the max can!

so what if it's free?
it's real ugly side of them can.
some of them even took away our cups can!
like WHAT THE FARK?!?!
it's not as though they were very poor, it's not as though they don't have cups at home can.
seriously, they are the real UGLY PEOPLE.




met up with jason and patricia after work.
jason came to look for me first.
and he's with some specs too.
like, trying to change for the better???
wahaha.
and he's a retiree now.
=)























boyfriend's gone on some training UN-CONTACTABLE for 2 days.
=(

first day of work at TCC @ Clark Quay.

first impression of the people: CUI.
just 3 tables of customers and the captain actually said, "why did you come at this hour, when it's so busy?"
i was like, HUH?!!?!?
but in conclusion, everyone's friendly, on the first day i guess.

been about half a year since I've left the F&B industry.
seems familiar and yet not.
but as usual, I'm able to pick up those servicing skills fast.
like common, it's always the same old sentences and skills and knowledge can.
LOL.
and the pay is of cause higher than HD.
=)

and the funny thing is, both my store manager and i had simliar working experiences in the same industry.
we worked in both swensens and haagen dazs before.
wahaha!
and he joined HD just a few months after Rolland and Desmond joined in as SUPERVISORS.
heard that both of them get promoted darn fast within months.
and i guess both of us left that place for the same reason.
LOL.
and he told me this, "they always hired GIRLS in HD, especially pretty girls."
but i corrected him,
"it's always the pretty girls that stay longer, the rest will be out of it very soon."
do correct me over that sentence.
haha!

anyway, just realized that i'm always ended up at one of the busiest outlets of each F&B restaurant.
swensens @ CWP, haagen dazs @ bishan and now TCC @ clark quay.
should that be good or bad news??
LOL

anyway, wish myself HAPPY WORKING!
cause at least there's no childish people.
haha.
=)

just a few days or maybe, a few TIMES, at work.
and MISS GUCCI LANG ENG XUAN is in their top gossiping list.
FAST HUH??
just because i'm a good friend of someone whom they gossip till the max, and that i happen to click better with the males,
so they assume that birds of the same feather flock together.
=.="
the childish thinkings of 17 years old female teenagers.

One, how do you expect newbies to have the same pace/speed as those of the old birds?
you think what??
I'm a superwoman, who picks up all the skills in just one night?
oh please.
to make things worse, they deprive me from learning more by doing it themselves, instead of teaching.
and to make things till the worst. still tell the manager and the boyfriends that I'm slow and stand at a side doing nothing.
bloody idiot!
i repeat myself, he/she's not called "NEWBIE" for nothing, if you expect a NEWBIE to know what he/she should be doing in just a few times of work,

Second, it's all these childish little female kids of 17-18 years old, who think that talking to a guy is call "FLIRTING".
OH MY GOD.
what world are they living in now?
does that means that so long as the person that i'm talking to is a guy, that means i'm flirting is it?
if that's the case,
eh, YOUYOU. i'm flirting with your ah lau.
LOL.

it's not that i didn't talk to the girls.
it's they don't want to talk to me can. thinking that i'm too flirtatious to talk to them can.
and i seriously just cannot have the same frequency with them.
=.="
and it's not as though i've got close physical contact with the males.
i only talked to them when i need my help.
BUT they always like to make fun and play with me.
and of cause I'll play along with them.
also, it's the guys who always come and talk to me, not the other way round.
so does that means I'm the one that's flirting with them?
oh please.
just admit the fact that I've got the INNER & OUTER BEAUTY that makes the guys to come and talked/played with me.
i'm not being BHB/thick skinned or whatever, i mean it's true right?
who in the world would want to talk to people who jumped into childish conclusions.
STUPID can.



wa.. i'm pissed.

finally some chilling session with the girls after school on wednesday.
no choice but TOWN again, when the previous day i went with cher and youyou.
cause mongling was having some stuff on at SMU.
so does that means hat whenever we're to meet her after school, that'll be TOWN?!?!
haha.
=)

at LONG JOHN...


mongling didn't play our impromptu photo taking before.
and it seems like she has difficulties too.
haha.







at YOUTH PARK.
when we 3 got nothing better to do but to go there to feed mosquitoes with our fresh blood.
=.=""

that NERDY yet HARDWORKING girl...

chilling session was always great with them
cause it's always full of laughter and smiles.
haha.
and when school starts for everyone, i supposed these outings/sessions will be deeply missed.
so please, CALL Miss Gucci out as many times as possible!!
I'll miss everyone can, but i'll provide everyone with GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!
wahaha.


went out with the OG(SIM) on friday to VIVO.
felt a little left out, cause i wasn't in their classes/lectures.

Florence.
she's pretty can!
=)

watched HELLBOY and had our dinner at SWENSENS.
like 20 people can.
haha.
but in the end, there's always cliques.
so can't blame me for the continuous smoking sessions.
that's to avoid the awkwardness and emo-ness and loneliness.
wahaha!
so many feelings.

saw Xavier and Jacqueline at PS later.
my god.
I MISS FRIENDSHIP can!!!
i miss all those lame jokes that everyone cracks.
i miss that sign that we always do whenever we see each other in any part of Singapore.











my foot's hurting.
thanks to some INDIAN elephant who was happily stepping on my foot last night.

i found this in her blog...
























wahaha!
just realized she didn't even send me any of the photos at all.
and it's oh so stupid, retard and unglam can.
LOL.





was clearing my room this afternoon.
and came across this small corner in my room which i RARELY looked at.
or maybe, ONCE IN A RED MOON.
inside, there's a big card and a box of mine.
the big card was from the people i knew in HD.
it was my first and last birthday card from them.
those were the days...
as for the box, can't remember what i've put in it.
but when i opened it, it's full of lanyards and postcards.
lanyards of different camps, workshops, events, etc in TP.
postcards of people commenting on me in camps.
cards from fellow HGLs and FAs.


CARDS.

"hey EngXuan! Thanks for all the help! hehe.. hope you had an amazing birthday! you're offically 18!" ~Yuting

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! remember your name well cause it's special! thanks for all your support and necouragmeent for these few days! you rock man!!" ~a freshie from OPHIX

"ENGXUAN, like to smile alot aye! hope OTC was good and FOw/FOC, great!"~Alvin Ting


POSTCARDS.
(although no names mentioned in them, but i just know who they are for some. =D)

"hey, steady lah! together we're damn high! 我是女的！"~Maybelin

"i still own your leg!! HANDIPLAST!"~Jodin

"you should know my expectations? Room for improvements!"~YiLing

"hey Gucci, i'm LV. Glad to know you in this OTC camp =p Your voice's just as loud as canon & as clear as crystal! well done!"~Michelle

"1st impression: quite "DAO", but you're NOT la!"

"再来一次！GUCCI! =)"~Alan

"Haha, one of my buddies during camp. Scold me, play me and do all kinds of things on me. i'll take it "to heart" 再来一次!"
"Cutesy girl, it's a pleasure to know you. remember the times we have together, cheer together, play stupid games together, kana scold together, sleep together. These are the memories that i 'll never forget. 请你跟我这样做！”~Jackson

"再来一次 which is the most smart in games that we played. cheer siao!"

"The most on female LJ in the group. wahh, your charisma can charm so many guys."~Skye aka BUOYANT KING. =.="""

"HEY! you're a very cute girl sorry i fell then made you worried. anyway, your enthu-ness is always there. Felt more "in" that way. By the way, the way you shake is damn sexy! love you girl"~Jolene

then, i found a letter.
a hand-made letter.
the moment i saw it in the box, it reminds me of how i first cried in camp during my birthday.
it's not because it's hand made, but the contents wrote in it that touched both hui an and i.
=)

"Aloha,
Pai se ah... this year on budget. BUT BUT BUT, i brought this present myself k?
够朋友了吧！Still, I've made a pretty & memorable, keepable, storable, not perishable card for you. Haha... When you're 50 years old 老婆婆, you can still take out this card and recall our days together,
Hmm.. know you for (let me count), about 1 year 4 months liao, hope our friendship will stay long long and old old too.
Haha.. not i want to bhb, but i think(seriously), 我很够朋友, make card, buy present, buy cake, come TP, specially come meet you! 哪里找! Haha..
though sometimes you all suan me, not sometimes, every time, but never mind la, let you all laugh lor.. LOL.. 笑笑也不错 right? Haha.. or else 人生 very 无聊 one.
Not i don't want go for camp, but if i go for FOW/FOC, I'll be having the opportunity cost of (let me count) $330 leh!! cause now my pay's no longer $6.50 but $7.33/hour.
For this job, i also sacrifice alot one lor. Haha..
Anyway, 祝你赶快找到你的心上人. I want see you with boyfriend!!! LOL!
i will 实法 ask 爱情邱比得 shoot arrow for you. Haha.."

i guess everyone would have known who's the person.
Ya, none other than mongling.
=)
Thanks for making me darn touched at that time.

i'm never going to throw this box away.
the memories of TPSU will always be in it.
loves..

was working at the health fair together with rosy on Saturday.
rubbing non-stops of the backs of the uncles and aunties.
but seriously, it's the WORST job I've ever worked can.
the problem did not lie on the fact of those uncles and aunties, or those disgusting backs.
but on the people that I'm working with.
i mean, ROSY is good can.
but this is just a FAIR, but the way the people in-charge make things sounds like some competition trying to strive for the highest sales.
one of the ladies actually told us this "girls, when there's nobody asking for a massage, do help out with the booth. don't just stand here and do nothing. it's you people who're taking the incentives, not us."
i was like, the booth's super small with just 3 promoters and that'll be enough.
they rather want us to stand at the booth doing nothing, than standing behind the chairs.
=.="

i was asked not to work the next day, giving the reason that i didn't performed much to their work expectations.
alright, i admit my bad for the frequent usage of my phone.
but you know what, the people working with me rather tell someone else in the office to call me about it, rather than telling me straight.
like WTH?!!? the guy's all the way at jurong, or maybe he's happily enjoying his weekends, and i'm like just a few FOOTSTEPS away from them, yet they don't want to tell me.
ok. NEVER MIND.
things didn't just stop here.

on the way home, the guy called me again, to say they don't need me the next day, saying that my face was darn black when i came back from my break.
like WTF?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
now my face also got problem with them can!
what?
I've to go for plastic surgery is it?
seriously, if there's anything wrong with the way i'm working, just say it straight can.
why bother to go that extra mile just to shoot me?
basket people.




























anyway.
i guess some of you people out there should have know what's happening in my life now.
with some even saying I'm not friends enough by not telling anyone of them except my secret affair.
cause i don't see a need for it to say it out, letting everyone to know about it.
there's nothing interesting in it, and i don't even wish to publicize about it.
i rather you people find out yourself and ask me personally, rather then me telling you people.
so i guess YOUYOU's darn fast to know about it can.
with her helping me to spread to chou xueli.
wahaha!
=)

talking about that princess.
was talking to youyou the other day while she's waiting for her ah lau.
and she was telling me about those bimbotic stuff that the princess has been doing lately.
haha. still as bimbo as ever.
but then again, due to all her night classes, I'll be meeting her lesser and lesser and lesser can.
why?
cause she finished lesson at 9++ can. i don't want to meet her at 10++.
and her day always starts from the afternoon onwards.
haha.
like that how to meet?!?!!?

GREAT.
there's a GRACE FEEL-ALIKE in SIM.
and she wants to be friends with me.
so should i be happy or sad??
=.=""""

first day of school.
was darn excited the previous day.
but expectations of mine was too high.
so the moment lecture started with some boring admin introduction for like, ONE HOUR, i was cui already.
think it's been sometime since i'm back in school.
so the feeling of studying was still not there yet, UNTIL i get to copy some stuff finally.
and I've got goals.

although I'll be like having 2 jobs (most prob) and studying,
but i strongly believe that my parents, or maybe including myself too, will not be paying the school fees for SLACKING.
ya, i may be a loner at times, but i want to get things done.
i want to work SLIGHTLY harder in SIM now, compared to my studying life in TP.
as u can see, i've BOLD the word "slightly", so it may means like 1% more of hard work.
wahaha!
don't care, this is a project based course.
NO CHOICE already.
i'm planned to go back to TP library for research anyway.
LOL.


late nights of studying is coming soon!
=D

was working the whole day today.
did i just mention "WORK"???
haha.
ya. due to the fact that I'm totally suffering from budget deficit, so kind of anyhow find a job.
though no matter how reluctant i am to go back to the F&B industry.
but this time round, it's in the banquet side.
like WHAT THE HELL can.
no jobs liao can.
=.="

anyway, that's not my main point of blogging about me finding a job.
it's about today.
princess from THAILAND was on a social visit in Singapore, i think.
so she's living in the hotel that I'm working in.
so of cause every event will be held there.
and seriously, i don't see a big deal in PRINCESSES can.

really, like because of her, the whole ballroom seems to have went under renovations.
and people have to wait for her to come.
MISS GUCCI's someone that hates to wait for people.
it's like we're trying to clear the mess outside the room that she's happily enjoying her dinner in it.
and the moment the news of her about to leave "SOON", everyone have to stop EVERYTHING just to wait for her to leave the place.
so i thought she's leaving the room in like 10 minutes' time.
but guess what,
after HALF AN HOUR, i finally saw her leaving.
=,="
it's like within this period of time, i could have cleared up everything, but i was just aimlessly waiting for instead.
just because she's about to leave "SOON".
....
at times, i really don't know i should respect or hate them instead.
haha.
so irritating can.
"DID I JUST HEAR AN EE?!!?"

okie. not funny.




it's really like PRINCESS only can.
not KING, or QUEEN.
and it's not only her who's a princess.
my MISS CHOU XUELI's a princess too can.
just that few days back, she just get promoted to QUEEN.
wahaha!
wad a joke.
=D

school's starting soon!
*excited
