Okay. So I haven't made much progress - but this I can tell you: I can't bear working in retail anymore. It pisses me off that not only do I have to put up with two-faced, sales-stealing, lying bitches (can you imagine a really, really sweet senior sales assistant being so nice to you but when you make sales, she adjusts the records as well as not tell you about the team diary which all previous sales are recorded, to find out later that your sales is considered hers, and that she will be making use of your commission? The other retail assistants know and yet they put up with it the entire time? HELLO WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL)... waiting for customers to actually enter the shop and wonder who should serve the customer when there is only one of them, and four of us, especially on weekdays had me wondering what on Earth am I doing in the ice-box when I could be using the time to do more productive things, like learning new recipes, reading books, hanging out with my sisters, cousins and friends. Even though there is the prospect of getting paid, but getting paid to do nothing but trap yourself in a hell of an icebox with nothing to do but stand up (you're not allowed to sit!!!) and wait all day, and demotivation upon the look on the face of those who are too friendly but actually up to no good... Gah. It's a holiday break and I think I'd prefer not to commit myself to total boredom. I don't think it's worth the pay even. That's why it's important to love your job! Can't wait to get my degree and do what I can with it! Anyway, I enjoy laying back, cooking and taking care of my two sisters. I've been cooking, cleaning, keeping tab of them and all sorts. Hee. =) Furthermore, I managed to participate in Comic Fiesta 2007. I didn't sleep the night before the first day of the event, just because I wanted to complete my costume to wear on that day. Stupid move, really, though having the costume had me completely satisfied. I had everything done myself (including the sewing, no use of sewing machine at all!!!) which kind of resulted in the ribbon that kept unbuttoning itself at the front of my dress. I didn't get to try it and adjust anything before the event, so I wore it there and then. Luckily it fitted well, but I had to be extra careful about my bra from showing up (which, thankfully, friends would remind me about it from time to time =_____= ARIGATOU!!!). I cosplayed Nodame Cantabile's main character, Noda Megumi, during her graduation day performance. Sadly, Nodame isn't known by many. =( Stupidly I did not take a single photo of myself in the costume which I am ever so proud of, but a friend did send me one, which was taken without me noticing =____=
Aaaa! The green-ness of the dress is ACID to my eyes! *LOL*
And there were many awesome cosplayers on that day too - I'm kinda pissed off at myself for missing the second day, because I spent the day away by claiming back my lost sleep. =____= I woke up at 4pm, people!!! X_X MY phone camera does the cosplayers no justice. =( I'm sorry! TT_________TT So yeah, that about sums up what I pretty much had in mind on blogging. Christmas is in the air, and so is new year. I can't wait to celebrate!!! XP Anyway, before I totally sign off, there are a few more things that may (or may not) be of amusement. Yup, more language maladies and stuff to ponder about!!! It is scientifically proven that nuts of any kind is low in carbohydrates, but high in (good) fats and protein. However, 1g of fat gives double the amount of calories 1g of carbohydrate and protein would. Slimming nuts? Hmm. If you were to eat the entire container in a day or two, I don't think so.I guess I'd go into this shop, to come out after a pedicure or a manicure with only ONE nail looking 'gorgeous'.On the cover? 'LUV', on a COVER? Are you trying to copy the British slang or something? Or is this some kind of internet influence leaking on to prints?! There is a shepherd for mechanical animals along Jalan Bukit Bintang. You read right. Mechanical animals. A battery operated rhino, hippo... dinosaur? I couldn't really tell. Sorry the picture's bad... I took it while walking, and you know... camera phones. =_____= Nonetheless, check this one out. It appears to be some sort of a battery operated zoo/amusement park!!!
Oh yes, and I've discovered that my camera phone is capable of 'manual' editing. Check this out:
The 'manually' edited photo ... (as in, I didn't upload it to the computer and fix it there...)
