Of The Last Year of Teenagehood
As you might know(and should know), my birthday was last week, on the 13th of January. It was on a Saturday. So on Friday night me and my bf/Xbf and my friends went out for dinner. We were actually planning to go clubbing but too many can't come and my best friend had an extra early curfew. So we ate dinner at an expensive restaurant instead. The food was great. I ate grilled salmon(mmmmm....), as usual(actually I like salmon because it's pink). That was truly a mouth-watering experience. Then as a surprise, they got the staff to sing Happy Birthday to me(wearing jester hats) and presented me a nice tiramisu cake. I was so touched! I loved it so much.
The next day(my official birthday) my mum had a birthday lunch for me. What seemed like a normal lunch turned out to be a kids' party, with 50 balloons around the house and banners and even... wait for it......... a Pinata!!! I can't believe my bf/Xbf got me a pinata and filled it up with nice sweets. The best part? Everyone was having fun. Did I say anything about my 18th birthday? It was supposed to be the best birthday ever but it was a disaster. My 19th birthday wasn't even supposed to be too good but it was great! That is my best birthday ever so far. Everyone who mattered to me came. One thing though, I only invited three of my old school friends. I don't care if the rest felt terrible about it but I just don't like these people anymore. They treat me really bad last time and I know if I free up a few spaces for them for the party, they're not going to come anyway. So I invited my whole class instead. They're sooooo much fun though a few didn't come. Then there was the presents. I got some amazing presents. I don't get alot but I agree with quality is better than quantity. Most of them shared for one gift, so my gifts are expensive and interesting and useful. I got a pink special edition 1 GB thumb drive(which sailormoon claims to drive all the way to Low Yat in the middle of the night just to buy), a pink 'iPod-like' MP3 player which is Samsung from my bf/Xbf, a pair of nice shoes(also pink with a pretty butterfly), a spa treatment of body massages and body wrap which is worth $168, a t-shirt with "My Kitten ate my Homework" written at the front(specially for Math class), a nice pink hairclip with dragonfly design, cool MNG sunglasses, a nice pink bangle and a CK perfume(from my mum).
To top it off, my cake was delicious and my mum's cooking was superb. I loved the party to bits. At the end, we all signed and wrote nice messages and wishes on balloons and let them up to the sky to float to the heavens(I'm being too dramatic here, I know). Well, we're science students so we know the balloons would burst somewhere up there but we still do it anyways. It's so pretty seeing pink and white balloons going further and further up. I'll post the picture sometime later.
Overall, that was my best birthday ever and I seriously didn't want it to end. I remember a few days before I called all of my best and closest friends and made sure they'd come. So I'll know that even if no one else came, I'd still love it just as much. Well, I'm just glad they all came(Except Arse and I'm going to kick his arse later).
Oh, and by the way, I'm not supposed to write this blog entry at this very moment. I skipped 2 periods of my Biology class because I didn't bring my lab coat(Shhhh... I'm begging you not ot tell my mum). Then I came to the computer lab because I have nowhere else to go and no money left. I got to go to my next class though... Bye!

Work and more work
I started work on the 23rd, 2 days before Christmas. So what the hell do I work as? Well, just basic cosmetics promoter for SK-II. Yup, that skincare product from Japan. I am just a temporary worker anyway, and I'm placed in empty spots where some permanent worker cannot make it. My first day was in Midvalley Metrojaya, and being the first day of my first job, I don't know anything. I asked the guy who called me up for the job ad he said I should wear all black (can you imagine?! I mean, whoever wears all black these days?!? I'm not saying black's out of fashion, but if you wear it alone, it's a bit dull isn't it? Then again, maybe that's the whole purpose) and a collared shirt or t-shirt. So I did. He didn't tell me about shoes however, and the fact that I have to enter through staff entrance. So I arrived and had to buy new shoes(after having to ask everyone where the staff entrance is). Then, for some twisted reason, the staff can't bring handphones in. So I had to give it to the officer behind the desk to keep, with heavy reluctance. Seriously, can you imagine 8 of your waking hours without handphone? I bet you would quit the job right away or try to smuggle it in. Then, I found out that I have to use staff toilet only. And, if I want to get out of the department store, I have to go through the staff entrance everytime (which is super far because I'll have to get out f the building and walk a quarter of a kilometre and go in the building again, up the stairs). So lunch is a total torture. Another thing I found out is that I don't have to use collared shirt. Lots of their other workers only wear round neck tees(baby tees). SK-II has, like, 30 products or more and I have to study them all and memorize their prices. That totally sucks. I mean, it has 10 types of mosturisers alone and I have to know the prices and what each of them do and how long will they last and for what skintype they're suitable for. It's exhausting(note that's for only the mosturisers). Then I have to know the promotions. Most customers will go to the counter and ask, "what's the promotion going on now?" the first thing. Can't blame them I can't afford th product without ppromotion, too.
So after Metrojaya Midvalley I have to work in Parkson KLCC. Here, I found out I have to wear a bun in my hair and if I want to wear something not collared, I have to wear it long-sleeved. The staff entrance is not so bad however. It's right outside the main entrance of the department store. But I do have to go up three floors to get there, and once I get in, I have to go down two floors. This was also the first time I was at the counter alone(without one of the permanent staff helping and teaching me. I was reaking scared! Plus, I had to do the store closing since my shift was untill 10. That was seriously scary. What if I forgot to do something? Or did something wrong? That counter also offered facial services so I had to learn how to take appointments and reconfirm them(By the way, it is full for this month and the next and the weekends on February). I think everything turned out fine in the end. One thing I learned is that the promotion for every SK-II counter is very different. That sucks. I have to memorize every counter's promotion and the department store promotion plus any type of special occasions promotion(and when will they end). I also have to keep up with new and upcoming promotions. A little too much don't you think, for a 'school holidays' job?
Then, when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I was transferred to Isetan KLCC. This counter is terribly busy where customers are never-ending. The worst part? I can't SIT!!! So for 7 hours I had to stand there waiting and walking around. Oh, and did I mention the shoes I bought in Midvalley are high-heels? Imagine walking on the balls of your feet for 7 hours. Ouch. Even the permanent promoter has this pained expression on her face. Can't blame her, I know how she feels. After that, when I desperately needs to go to the toilet, I found out something new: toilet cubicles are locked. When any of the staff needs to go do the 'business', she or he needs to look for the keys first. Then, in the toilet, the cubicle doors are labeled 'Shoes', 'Handbags', 'Cosmetics' and things like that for staff who work in different departments. With such rules, I thought the toilet would at least be clean, but it's worse than the customers' toilet. Then it hits me. If the toilets are locked, how would cleaners get to clean them up? Furthermore, the tap water is just a tiny tinkle. I mean, a rat could piss faster than that!
More on my work adventures later.

Eye Colour and Music
| Your Eyes Should Be Brown |
What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart |
Well, I do have brown eyes. No surprises there today.
This is another thingy for this entry today...
| Your Musical Tastes Match: Jennifer Garner |
Actually, I have no idea why I even bothered doing that. I already knew I have Jennifer Garner's taste in music, of all people. I really don't know why her. I don't mean anything bad by it, actually. Does similar tastes in music show similar personality? I'm guessing, maybe, since I think Ben Affleck's hot too.

My Substitue for a Blog Entry
So in the absence of mood, wit and everything else that I need to have to write, I decided to put those lame things in my blog where it is not needed of me to write anything. I found a few sites for this... So instead of knowing me by reading what I write, you can know me by these (maybe inappropriate) things I put here. Enjoy!
This is the first:
| You Are a Coy Flirt |
I've got to admit, this is quite true. Why? Beacuse some boys don't see me as the flirting type, because they don't realise if I'm flirting with them in the first place. The obsession part is quite true too. What can I say? They find me irresistable... (Haha, whatever, right)
That's it for today. I'll get something else in my next entry. At least until my writer's block dissapears and my mood appears.

Depression... Why?
Why is it that we don't know why we're depressed. It's like something so wrong is happening but actually nothing is wrong. I have no idea. In my case, when I'm depressed, I feel like something bad is going to happen. What makes matters worse is that sometimes, it does happen. Thinking about this makes my depression worse.
I feel like something bad is going to happen later, and I have this very deep feeling that it's going to involve my father. Like he's going to be very angry about something. I moght have some vague idea what he's going to be angry about but I'm not very sure just yet. I mean, if he's angry because of what I think he's angry for, then what the hell am I going to say to him? Should I plan what to say now or just don't think about it untill it really happens? Seriously, knowing a tiny little bit about the near future is not really a good thing all the time. You might think, sure it's good, because you can prepare for it. This is true at a certain extent. But what if preparing for it is what is going to cause the problem. Then what? It's like, because we know it, it's going to happen. What if we don't know? Is the problem going to happen if we don't know about it? I'm always curious about that.
The other thing that I think might be a problem is the RSVP for tomorrow. I'm having a lunch at my house where my mom's cooking nasi lemak for my friends. Most of them just can't make it. Why? I don't know. Maybe I'm depressed beacause they all might just call and cancel at the last possible minute. Shit, what am I supposed to do then? Especially if my mom has already cooked for them. Then, she'd bury me so deep in the ground that the heat from the earth's core will incinerate me and my sorry ass.
Well, I'd write about the result of my depression later. Now, I'd better just face it. By the way, if any of my friends are reading this before tomorrow, please consider coming for lunch! RSVP me tonight!

Stuff... and more Stuff
I wish I'm good in the Blogger layout area too. It's just more confusing and complicated than Friendster or Myspace. Especially in Blogger Beta. Well, basically it's just the same, I just have to know what the extra things are. Or maybe I should just save myself some trouble and stop with my policy of not using templates. Trust me, I've tried that but Blogger Beta templates are very limited and if I'd use one, it'll surely be same with 20 others out there. Maybe people are as clueless about Blogger Beta templates as I am. Or maybe it's just a lot of work. Either way, it's an obstacle in my path to nicely design this space.
I was looking for pictures for Friendster and I realise one thing: I should be more of a camwhore. I seriously am lacking nice camwhoring pictures of myself. I mean, the whole point of having Friendster is to display pretty pictures of yourself to everyone else(no matter how unpretty you are - there's always photoshop right?). I have next to none of those things. No wonder I've never looked forward to updating my pics. And all this while, blaming my father for uploading the pics only in his laptop and not the family computer.
Today Sailormoon actually brought Tarot cards to college. She was reading my fortune. I didn't believe in it 100% but the reading she got for me was so freakily accurate. She used the fan spread, where she read about my past, present and future plus a few more like emotional and love. I actually got the worst card in the pack, the 10 swords. It's not like I have lots of problems or anything - that's normal. I've just had sort of a harder life. Actually, I wouldn't know that either because there are lots of other people out there that have harder lives than me. I'm so not complaining though, because "As hard as it gets, I know it's still amazing to be alive," in the words of Lindsay Lohan.
I guess I'd better go on with the Friendster profile thingy. And then I'll sleep. So, I'll end this entry with Check out my Friendster profile as soon as you could. And write me a testimonial!!
