Off To My First Job Part 2....

A continuation of this post...

Maybe he didnt meet this kinda people, but I did....(PS, we are NOT not NOT not working at the same restaurant...lol)

7.) Don't-worry-I-can-handle-it-...-maybe costumer...
.

One group of 5-6 ppl comes in, leaves one alone to order the food....and that guy has to carry 2 trays, which also means I have to help him take the second one....while the others slack...

8.) Free-Wi-Fi-Date costumer...

Couple comes in at 2pm, goes out at 8 pm, supposedly dating, but they are on Wi-Fi....theres also the kind that comes to play facebook using their laptops during lunchbreak...

9.) Hey-its-raining-eh-got-fast-food-restaurant costumer

This kind comes during the rain, walks around dirtying the floor, orders a small fries or wedges to be polite, then leaves....leaving a trail of wet, black footprints...

10.) Hey-I'm-Blind costumer

Ignores the "No Outside Food and Drinks" sign and brings cakes, and canned drinks inside...

11.) The-couldnt-care-less costumer

Doesnt matter whether you smile, greet or nod your head, they just would bother, ignoring you all the way....I find this irritating...

12.) What-was-this-thing-that-I-ordered costumer

This kind seems to have short term memory, they forgot what they ordered, so we have to check their receipts to find out...or they thing they didnt get that thing listed in the receipt, but that thing was actually already on their table...

13.) the-maybe-Im-a-costumer-maybe-not

This kind sees you at the door, and pretends they want to enter, and in the end they didnt....so you end up with a half open door and acting like a fool....

The Bitter and Sweet of Work...

The Bitter -
1.) Sometimes it's very demanding, especially when you're working alone and the place is filled with costumers....
2.) My gramps is very worried about me, seeing as Im the only son of the only son and the only male of this generation bearing my surname this side of the sea...he even went thru the trouble to tell me about his hardship when he was younger, stating that he didnt want his descendant to go thru the same process....even told me how a CM actually help my aunt get into UM....
3.) The above led me to be able to work until a certain time, causing some disturbance and was even "scolded" by my "boss"..."" because according to my mom, it doesnt count as scold...
4.) Stare in awe when my other classmates are working in Sg and another works as a sorta like a geologist....
5.) Fried Chicken everyday....horrible....

The Sweet -
1.) Observed a lot of different fashion styles, hair styles, facial expression that may be useful when I begin to draw my manga...if it happens...
2.) Learn a lesson or two about the hardships of life...
3.) Learn a thing or two about the habits of Sarawakians....and their manners...table or otherwise...
4.) Learnt the power of a single smile....
5.) Salary of coz....

Not sure if I missed anything....but I dont really care anyway....

Mangas, mangas, mangas....

Naruto -
just when I thought it couldnt get any worst...what the heck is Itachi doing there...Im hoping its genjutsu, Tsukoyomi probably...since Sasuke has used Amateratsu and Susano'o....*fingers crossed*....that right hand of Danzo is freaking me out...and testing the strength of Danzo with Amateratsu and Susano'o....has Sasuke become a dunce since "killing" Itachi...those inverted comas are my hope that Itachi is dead....

One Piece -
Haki is back, not too soon, just in time to save Ace, and please, end the war already, I don wanna see Okamas running around talking in Russian slangs...Hancock is an idiot, really, and so is Pseudo-Kuma...where did the other Shichibukai go? I tot Mihawk was somewhere battling some guy with a sword and Ivana or watever the Okama queen's name is is fighting Doflamingo...maybe my memory's a bit rusty... Im still torn on whether Whitebeard should die or not...but I think its better off that he dies...more surprises this way....

Bleach-
OMG, did Tosen just "spontaneuos burst-a-part"? Or was it some skill of Aizen?? I thought that Shinji was using his shikai....i mean which shinigami battles with Bankai without releasing Shikai first???? Though it's ability is nice...no wonder Shinji is always hanging upside down in the air...btw...how did Kensei's battle go again...remind me, Ive forgotten.... Yea...one thing to celebrate about, Ichigo is B-A-C-K, back....though Im more concern about Inoue and Ishida, I mean, they did go to Hueco Mundo to save Inoue, and Ishida is still looking for his hand....(lol, bad joke)....

Happy Boxing Day!!!

Well, Happy Boxing Day to all...though we dont celebrate it here...I wonder why they call it Boxing Day...maybe Boxing was found on this day, or maybe they created boxes on this day, or maybe somewhere along the way, Boring Day was mistaken as Boxing Day...since the day after Xmas is boring, considering cleaning up after Xmas party, going back to work and such stuff...

Well, its also Day 2 at work for me...to think that my mom had the heart to drag me out of bed at 8.30 just to go to the tailor's shop to make pants...and worst still, they werent open when I arrived...had to wait for a while...even saw Michael Kuek, my form 3 KT teacher, at the foodstall...haiz...

So back to work...it wasnt as hectic as yesterday, though the soreness and fatigue of yesterday quickly catched up...I was down 5 minutes into work...jk,jk...about 4 hours into work...yup, it was when I was working the job alone...imagine running up and down to serve food, clear plates, wipe table, throw away leftovers with a left shoe that has it's "mouth" open wide....thank God it was for just about an hour...

i dont really look forward to tomorrow, since I have to work until closing....sheeesh....but then again, the stuff that we do before we go home are now sharedly done...there are however, several extra jobs that needs to be done at closing...to think Im gonna go sleep after writing this post and the next...haiz...work is tough, but the rewards at the end of the month..."Sweet" doesnt being to describe it...

Worst Christmas Ever

This is officially my worst Christmas ever!!!

Why??

1.) I crashed my car into the drain!!! Shit man...now the repay cost is about RM200...there goes my pay... I was trying to put my wallet into my pocket, but my trousers were to big, so I had to pull the pocket below the seatbelt to use put my wallet into it..in the mean time, my right hand, which was grabbing the wheel turned when I tried to put the wallet into the pocket, and the car turned as well and bamp, into the drain.... I blame the pants, really....

2.) I started working today, seriously, who WORKS on CHRISTMAS??? Even Santa Claus works on Xmas eves....and he's suppose to be the symbol of Xmas!!! So what did I do?? I joined a fast food restaurant, and worked my ass off...I did everything except cook, prepare the meal, and as a cashier...that's a lot you know, cleaning, wiping, washing, serving, opening, changing, throwing, arranging, sweeping, moping.... urgh...

Put on the bright side, I gt Xmas presents.... My family decided to buy each other presents...so really, I just lost around RM40 on that...sheesh, but then here are the presents....

I wont tell you who gave which, but here's my thoughts...

Nice...but Im not really lacking on these, and Im a Chelsea Fan...


Hehe...now I have 3 wallets to use...make they 4, er 5...(no, this is not sarcasm)


Time for a nice bath...relaxing shower for after work stress relief....


Ah, Sasuke-kun...fits well into my collection....


There...what cute brothers, Itachi and Sasuke....

PS...Ignore the reflections, Im too tired to take a second picture....

Kampfer



This is Kampfer, a manga based on a light novel. The story is about Seno Natsuru, a boy who is changed into a girl when he is selected as a Kampfer. Since as a rule, all Kampfer are girls, he is unwittingly changed into a girl. Kampfer are fighters who are chosen by Moderators to fight each other, they usually have messengers in the form of deformed stuff animals (Natsuru's a disembowled tiger), which are all given to the respective Kampfer's by Sakura Kaeda, whether on purpose or not it is not known.

Natsuru is a Blue Kampfer (the thing on his wrist that marks him as a Kampfer is blue) and he is to fight a Red Kampfer. What makes it more difficult is that the Student Council Chairperson of his school, Sanguo Shizuku, is a Red Kampfer. Natsuru finds his ally in the form of Mishima Akane, a quiet librarian who becomes a loud mouth, obnoxious, violent girl when in her Kampfer form.

Kampfer are divided into three types, a Zauber(magician), a Gewehr(guns) and a Schwert (melee weapons). Kampfer who are divided are erased from existance...Shizuku is plotting a sort of rebellion against the Moderators, since she finds it meaningless to fight without proper reason. But until then, she intends to fight and defeat all Blues she sees....

Overall, Kampfer is really funny, and unlike other "girl fights" manga, it does not have too much fanservice, or at all, really... Natsuru is also in love with Sakura, but Sakura somehow falls in love with the female Natsuru (Kampfer form) and thinks the male Natsuru as his love rival... WHY DO ALL MANGA/ANIME have HOMOs OR BIs???

So anyway, here are a few scenes which I find extremely funny...


Manga

Naruto-
Crappy as always...Im beginning to loose interest in Naruto...seriously, I mean Naruto hyperventilating? Danzo's hand is full of Sharingans? Though I am kinda interested in that fight as well as how the village is gonna accept Kakashi as Hokage...

Bleach-
So Tosen is finally dead, oh well, he was the most expendable Shinigami Traitor anyway. Come on, Gin and Aizen are way, way more important than him... So he at least revealed his "resurrecion" and was able to see for a while...It seems weird that this is the first time he's using it...Odd though, I thought he would at least train with it...Tosen and Komamura's past seems much more complicated that I thought....

One Piece-
I never recall Luffy going down, so why does he need the hormones? And all those "strong" Squad Captains injured just because they lost concentration...one is enough but two??? We also get a little bit of Ace's history here and there...oh yeah, Captain Buggy the "Great" has been revived!!!

The Hunt Continues

Thats right, Im currently hunting for temporary jobs, possibly able to work until next March, so might as well earn some cash to buy the electric guitar, amplifier and external hard drive I want so much...that I fix my CD-Rom, it would seems that it is extremely spoilt, since watching movies can end up in serious fustration, and anger, since its pause, play, pause, play, jammed.... And its extremely noisy, like the whole thing's gonna blow apart everytime I use it.

I've went to three different "companies", so far no luck, hope I get one soon, since December has almost end....

GTA: Chinatown Wars


This latest addition to the GTA Franchise is concentrated on Huang Lee, the son of a murdered Triad boss, and the affairs of the Triads. Huang Lee comes to Liberty City to return his father's Yu Jian, a sword "heirloom" that was to be presented to Hsin Jaoming by his uncle, Wu Lee. However, Huang Lee is robbed, beaten half-dead, minutes upon arriving in Liberty City, and left behind, thought dead by the robbers. The Yu Jian is lost and so is his uncle's standing in the Triads.

Throughout the game, Huang works with Wu Lee, Chan Jaoming, and Zhou Ming, the three main contenders as the next Triads boss of Liberty City. He also works with Hsin when he is suspected of being a rat. He ends up murdering Chan and Zhou on being suspected as the rat, and finally Wu for being the rat. His uncle was the one to kill his father, and rob him of the Yu Jian because he did not want a position under Chan. Huang ends up as the new Triad Boss.

There are also Rudy D'Avanzo, Wade Heston and Lester Leroc among other employers. There are also random characters providing some extra mission as well as the Drug Trade minigame.

Graphicwise, is more like a comic then a GTA Game, the camera is also dodgy, since you cant see directly in front of you, but there is also no chance of someone sneaking up behind you. You see the game through a bird's eye.

Overall, I would say this is one of the more appealing game in the GTA. It gives a fresh look to the GTA series. When you steal parked cars, you need to either hotwire, break the alarm system or just jam a screwdriver into the ignition switch. Weapons are bought online and send directly to your nearest safehouse. That means no more traveling around to get your guns. Earning cash is easy with the Drug Trade minigame. And there is also the neat GPS system that sets a route to your next destination, it is the shortest legal route around, though not necessarily the shortest. You lose wanted level by smashing up cop cars, something that would have earned you more stars in previous GTAs.

Well, Im off to try and get a 100% completion...

A New Beginning

Ah....finally I get to blog after a month of break....

Well, not necessarily a break, but whatever, so, I m so glad SPM is OVER, FINISHED, DONE, BYE BYE, SAYONARA, ADIOS, WHATEVER WAY YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE...not that I did very well, in fact, and have a nagging feeling I failed Chemistry due to an unlucky diarrhea spell, I blame the timetable...they just had to scatter the exams all over...so 11 subjects gone, and Im homefree, as Dickson says, "I am a FREE MAN!!!"

So after SPM, comes the much awaited hols...and now that Im there, I feeling quite bubbly...hyperactive even...but I think that will be over in a week, and is down back to boredom...MAFIA WARS AND TRIBAL WARS RAWK...Im doing that, trying to start off a Warcraft Map, though my friend who is the only one I know personally who can make a spell is still in SPM.... Im reading HMS UNSEEN, and playing GTA: Chinatown Wars, and not to mention blogging... Im trying to do several Fairy Tail Posts for the other blog.... Talk about multitasking.... Also, Saturday will mean a trip to Swinburne and the result to whether I can work over the hols, which will mean a Les Paul!!! Or maybe just a brandless Electric Guitar....as long as I have one...

Oh yeah, not to mention I wanna try to write a novel and draw a manga....not the best thing for me since I have zero skill in drawing...but hell, it's worth a try. Novel...argh...I dont even have an idea where it's headed...

Christmas is around the corner, and Xmas shopping is beginning...this year, my family decided to buy each other a present, since me and my mom arent working, the limit is set at RM5-10...Im gonna end up broke after this...

This week is honeymoon week, I will play and enjoy myself non-stop, no map-making, no manga-drawing, no novel-writing and definitely no housework...I have to paint the house next week, that and wash the drain...argh....and I just finished SPM, I still suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress...haha...

Until next time, which would either be a review on Chinatown or HMS or Fairy Tail or maybe something else, adios....
