又到了一年的最后一天了，也到了每年例行的年度总结。
2014，算是特别的一年吧？有好的特别，坏的特别，生活上的特别，国家大事的特别。。
今年，年头我开始了第一次实习，在hilton kl。战战兢兢地进酒店，不知所措得紧第一个部门，然后又战战兢兢地走进第二个部门，第三个部门。经历了在酒店工作的滋味，我还蛮享受的。可能是因为刚巧碰到一班同龄的人吧，很容易就聊开了，但是每次要麻烦家人早早载我出去，晚晚载我回家，就觉得很对不起很麻烦他们。进到这行，发现到真的要很会保护好自己，一不小心就会给人家非礼了。这应该会是我一个很久很久都不能磨灭的阴影了吧？
很不舍地结束14个星期的实习，回到了学校，被分到另一班去，超不习惯超难过的。可是当时在想，可能这是最好可以疏远他的方法吧，反正是时候应该放手了。然后因为我怕冷，又每次懒惰带外套，然后心里想男生都会有带外套的吧？就开始信息他借外套什么的，然后就开始有点话聊。
还记那是他生日的前一天，我开始生病，朦朦胧胧去上课，电话漏在爸爸车上我都没发现，到班上狂找也找不到。心里想糟糕了！会不会掉在路上？！那时电话里有个timetable app，时间到上课时间就会自动静音，而且很不巧的时间偏偏到了，怎么打都找不到。我穿着高跟鞋一路从D4跑到学校后门，还是没找到。打给爸爸问，他也说没在车上。我将近崩溃，里面好多照片好多信息好多回忆啊！过后爸爸打来，问我有找到吗，我怕怕地说没有，还以为他会骂我，（因为如果是妈妈，一定会骂了我再说）但是爸爸说再帮我找找看。很幸运的，爸爸打来的第二通电话是说在座椅下找到了我的电话！而且他在附近打油，很快就会把电话送过来。（不然如果他去了puchong，我应该要下午才能拿回电话了）一身汗回到课时，才发现两个大脚趾都长了一个大水泡，痛死了！根本就没办法再穿鞋子，但是我没带拖鞋啊！想着上完这堂课去隔壁班借好了，没想到女生们没有一个人有带，只有他因为要去朋友家过夜刚巧有带在身上。犹豫很久，朋友劝说先穿上吧，不然你这么痛也不行啊。就这样穿了他的拖鞋一整天，放学后还被朋友拖着去咖啡店吹了超冷的冷气，还要回学校听一个不懂什么talk，又再度被冷气折磨。真的是多灾多难的一天。
最幸福的一天应该是我们开始的那一天。他终于敞开心扉接受了我。<--- kim="" p="">
然后那个sem真的很忙很忙。。。
然后我现在已经踏入大学最后一年的一半了！还有一个学期就会离开学校。好舍不得学校，朋友，老师。
前面说特别的事，就是我今年21岁，交了第一个男朋友。会不会是唯一一个？我不知道，顺其自然。
但是2014对马来西亚就真的不是那么顺的一年了。3件飞机意外，MH370, MH17, QZ8501, 都是很让人心酸的事件，也让我很担心他明年的旅行；还有现在还是发生的水灾。。完全让人没办法想象那些灾民怎样生活。。
2015年，如果让我许3个愿望，我会希望：
1. 家人都平安健康
2. 马来西亚别这么多灾多难
3. 我和他爱情事业学业都顺顺利利

HKL Annual Dinner
16 March 2014 (Sunday)
Went to work unwillingly. Why? Because today is HKL’s Annual dinner, all the other trainees are either off early, or totally day off to help out at the event. And me? I had to work because my manager won’t let me change the schedule. Damn…. I wanted to go so badly because this will be my first time attending an annual dinner. Felt so sad the whole day. Even though I brought a set of dinner clothes, I did not put any hopes to go. One was because work ends at 10, and by the time I get there it will be 10.30 already; and secondly, all my friends would have been in there and it will be too damn awkward for me to walk in alone like this. So I told myself, I will go with the Chynna guys (if they are going after work) despite the fact that I’m already not in Chynna.

So I told myself, I will go with the Chynna guys (if they are going after work) despite the fact that I’m already not in Chynna.
Started work at 12.30 like normal, break, then
at 6 the permanent staffs went to the ballroom to register themselves, and I tagged
along with them. Saw my friend at the registration counter, wearing nice dress
and nice makeup, that feel….. urgh. The restaurant that I was working in was
exceptionally quiet, there were only 7 guests the whole night. So at around
8.30pm, one permenant staff finished her shift and wanted to bring me along to
the party, just to walk one round, get some food and come back to work, but our
assistant manager said she will send me up later. L I don’t wanna go in alone
awkwardly! After about half an hour, our AM asked the team leader (which the
position is equivalent to a supervisor) if trainees are allowed to go up, and
he said no. I was like whatttttt???? All the other trainees are up there and
you say I cant go?! That feeling was seriously imba. He really spoiled my mood
for the next 1 hour. After my shift, I went
to Chynna to rant it out saying that my team leader wouldn’t let me go. Then the
bartender at Chynna, William asked me to go along with them since they will be
going after work and the restaurant was quiet so they will be done in a while. Okay,
mood changed better and I went up to my locker to get changed. When the lift
door opened, we saw everyone leaving the ballroom already. Heyyyy? Isn’t the
party until 1am? Why is everyone leaving at 10.30pm? Luckily I was going with
the bunch of them, at least we were in this awkward situation together. Went to
the ballroom, met my friend and we started taking photos. Partied abit on the
dance floor and left the ballroom around 12am. Wanted to ask my sis to come and
fetch me but my other team leader, Bobby offered to send me and another friend
home. Why not? Before leaving the ballroom, I was holding a cup of beer and to
not waste it, I decided to gulp it all down. Forgot the fact that I was gulping
it with an empty stomach.
Me skulling the drink.
Went back to the locker to get our
stuffs, and 2 of the guys were getting drunk already. Even I was feeling abit
dizzy. I thought I could drink. Went back down to the lobby to wait for Bobby, and
one of the guy wanted to puke. Holy… we quickly contacted Bobby so that we can
get to his room (he booked one room in the hotel coz he was performing for the
dinner) and funny things started. Hing was really getting drunk, he started to
talk nonsense and talked so loudly in the lobby. So embarrassing! I getting
more and more dizzy couldn’t even walk straight and was pulling on William’s
bag. I think he got dizzy because of me pulling him. Sorry! ><
Went to their room, and all of us
started talking nonsense. Haha. We decided to go to MCD to get some coffee and
food to freshen up, as William is driving and he is supposed to send Ah Hing
home. But William keep saying that he is not drunk when he is drunk. (which
drunktard will ever admit that he is drunk?) Finally felt better after going to
MCD and reached home at 2am. And damn, my parents were still waiting for me. Told
them to go and sleep first! Why so stubborn.
Us talking nonsense and going high.
If it wasn’t for William, I would
have missed such a fun party thanks to my Graze team leader and AM. Things would
have been so different if I was still working in Chynna L
Buddy who entered STEP and HKL with me.
Chynna Team leader/ Taylor's senior from 5 years ago. Also one of my favourite team leader in Chynna. He is always guiding and helping me. Gay but can't see that he is gay.
Caryn (Xue Er) the only same age female with me in Chynna. Her main territory is the reception/ IA. Always helping me out and talking to me. A very sweet girl. Too bad that she has resigned. :(
Jackson. The HR trainee, also the one who made me scream at the corridor when I burnt my hand. Even though we were from the same batch but we only knew each other after going for internship. Can't you make any better pose?
HR team, except for the white dress girl in the middle, who isn't supposed to be in the picture.
William, Chynna bartender. I always call him Prince William and he gets flattered all the time. ==
One of my funniest memory about him was one time I was told to take care of 2 PDR, 201 and 202 and he was at the other PDR 200. When I was clearing at the end, the plates and stuff were too heavy for me to carry so I went to ask him for help.
Me: 威廉王子，我需要借你的肩膀。
He: 你有什么事不开心尽管说出来。(him holding his shoulder)
Me: 我需要你的肩膀帮我扛东西。wahahahahah
He: 原来你只是要利用我。。。
I laughed throughout that whole conversation coz his facial expression was so damn funny.
He was also the one who taught me how to hold 7 red wine glasses with one hand.
Hing. Our Chynna "da hor" or known as food runner. Everytime I will be looking for chilli padi during his busy hours and he will tell me where is it placed in a pissed off tone. But after knowing him for some time, I know that he is not that fierce and he is quite a funny guy. P/s: drunktard!
Bob from HR. Funny goy, always cracking jokes.
Ah Wai. Another "da hor" from Chynna. I always call him 老夫子, don't they look alike? Haha. A guy who is very very very sensitive to poking. Love to poke him everytime :P
The Chynna team with our manager, Michael. Gonna miss the fun and memories created with you guys!

Internship(shit) 2
Im in the second department for internship
already which is the kitchen department. There are two kitchens that I am
posted to, main kitchen and Vasco kitchen. Main kitchen, really nothing to do. They
serve mainly for banquet, and the week before CNY banquet was really slow. I was
there cutting vegetables, cleaning the fridge. Yeah, those bo liao things. Was there
for one week, but deducting all my off days and public holiday, I was only in
there for 3 days.
Second kitchen, Vasco kitchen. First day I went
back to work after CNY, drama started. I forgot to bring my socks, so I had to
wear the kitchen shoes without socks. At the end of the day, I had a freaking
big blister on the right foot, and a small thorn kind of thing poking into my
left foot. Both I had to use needle to poke it/take it out. Have I mentioned
that I’m scared of needles and blood till the level that I totally can’t stand
looking at wounds?
Vasco is the restaurant that serves buffet. I
had to become the runner and refill food that are running out. First day, of
course blur right? And the first thing I was told to when I went to the
restaurant was “go refill that one” and no one told me where the things were
kept. Sigh. Had to ask around and get black faces lo. Luckily a Chinese chef
was quite nice. He teached me what to do and where to get the stuff.
Was in Vasco kitchen for 4 days excluding
off days, and the second last day (7/2/14) , another drama happened. I did not
realise that the oven at the back of me was opened, and I was concentrating
doing other stuff, suddenly I stepped backwards and felt a sting on my elbow. Next
second I realise, one layer of my skin was burnt and gone. As I was rushing off
to another restaurant to ask about my schedule for next week, I did not do
anything to the wound.
After I have settled everything, I went back
to level 7 where my locker was and where the HR office is, I just tried my luck
to message Jackson to ask him if there is any cream for burnt skin in HR. I was
shaking so badly as there was nobody with me and I didn’t know what to do and
how is the wound like, was about to tear at that time. After that he came out
with a bottle of antiseptic cream together with another trainee. I didn’t dare
to rub the cream on the wound, (I kept dapping it instead) as I was scared that
my hands are dirty after touching all those things in the kitchen. And then,
this babi told me “eh look at that side”, and he rubbed the cream on me hardly.
The corridor was so quiet that it was filled with my scream shout that time. Damn
embarrassing!! I’m still a girl afterall, gentle a bit la! TT then he showed me
his burnt scar. I don’t wanna scar like that please L after Jackson went back to his office, Sherly, another staff from
HR came out asking me: “ burn until how?” then I realised, thanks to him, the
whole HR knows about it now. Few minutes later, another guy came out and ask
about the same thing. Jackson ahhh!!! Damn xia sui man… after changing out from
my uniform, I decided to go to HR again to get plaster but mana tau he ask me
to not bandage it. What…from the changing room to HR, only about 100m distance I
have already bumped into it twice. Freaking pain…After work, I went to sentral
to grab some antiseptic cream and dressing, using the first salary that I just
got that afternoon itself. Still feel safer with something protecting it.
Finally last day of kitchen today. Fucking hell.
Morning as usual I went to the buffet counter to check the food level, then I was
called by the chef to go to the back to peel all the rooted vegetables, he said
ALL. Then when I was peeling the cucumber, he ask me: “why you peel that?? DON’T
PEEL THAT”. Wtf? I thought he said all? Ok lo, I assume is my fault. Then when I
was peeling other stuff, I felt someone touching my butt. At first I did not
pay attention to it as I was standing at a corridor where there are a lot of
people passing by. Then suddenly the chef appeared beside me and started
talking to me about blowjob handjob? Fucking hell….?!
After finish peeling, I walk out to the restaurant
again, but halfway I bumped into the chef, and he suddenly faced me while
holding both sides of my shoulders, asking me if I could stay till 8pm tonight.
HELLOOOO?! My shift ends at 5.30!! I told him I cant as there’s a dinner that I
have to attend to at night. Then he started nagging saying, “but the job has to
be done, this is what happens when you manage dungus.” So, he is calling me a
dungu right now? Had no choice, and all I could do was nod my head. Then he
hold my hand and brought me to the stewarding area. (OS: Fucking shit let go of
my hand!!!) he asked me to wash the inserts which they used for steamed egg. You
know how freaking hard is that to clean it out?! “call me when you’re done ok?”
and he left his number with me. No way in hell I’m going to call you I was
thinking. Some of the Vasco abang saw me washing that and they were all
scratching their heads, thinking why on earth does chef want me to wash it when
it has to be soaked in water for a few more hours? After knowing that, all I could
think of was is chef trying to fool me? One abang came to me and ask me to help
to clear the buffet counter. (memang la, I am supposed to be helping the
japnese buffet, apasal want me to wash inserts pulak ni) while I was clearing
the counter, chef came out asking me why haven’t I call him and why am I doing
other stuff? “next time, only do the things I asked, if other people ask you to
do things, say sorry, chef ask me to do other stuff” he said.
Oh well, looking at the clock, nearing 12pm.
Chef Desmond ask me to go for my break first, as I never had any breakfast in
the morning. Is not that I don’t want to eat, but there were no food left in
the cafeteria! However, too bad so sad, the stupid chef ask me to go and slice
up all those roots that I’ve peeled. HOHOHO…. Took 2 hours to finish and clean
up, and the cafeteria closes at 2.30pm. at that time, I gave up on the thought
of going for break. Wanted to just force myself to work till 5.30 and get home
asap. Luckily by 4, there were no more work left in the kitchen, and the abang
ask me to go for my break. Hallehluya…. Eventhough some of the abang in the
kitchen like to kacau girls, but they wont do any physical harassment. This chef…
no comments already. Thank god it was my last day in there working under him.
At 5.30, I was so lucky that I did not bump
into the stupid chef. Went to find chef Desmond to tell him that I’m going back
already and faster ran off from the kitchen. But I’ll still have to find him at
the end of the month to get my salary form signed by him. FML.

F4
最近听回F4的歌，再看《流星花园》，时间好像回到小学四、五年级的时候。那个时候每次老师叫我们把课文念出来时，我就会在那边假假念，其实我是在年他们歌的歌词。当时喜欢他们简直是疯到某种程度。铅笔盒上贴着的是他们，文件夹也是他们，就连钱包里都有他们的收集卡。以前网络还没这么发达的时候，都只能靠看电视来看他们的MV。每次电视机一播出的时候就会先尖叫，然后在那边跟着唱。（真的觉得有点对不起我的邻居）现在回想起来。。。原来已经过了十年。
Hyung。。都是你。要考试了才来poF4的影片。。害我现在无法自拔。。（自己定力不够还怪人）

Commencement of Sem 2
Yeah, finally classes resumed on the 2nd of April for my class since we don't have classes on Mondays. Our timetable really sucks. Out of 4 days of classes, 3 days will end at 6pm. Sigh!
It was a really bad start for me. Started having sore throat on Monday night, and I couldn't sleep the whole night because my throat was that pain. Went to class zombie-fied with half my voice left. Tahan-ed all the way from 8 am till 4.30pm, then had to go to SS15 to print the notes that we need the next day. Luckily JingEn fetched me there so I didn't have to take the bus. Reached there, and we will still not sure how many copies to make, and even if we printed it, how am I going to carry it up the bus to uni the next day?
So, we had to make another trip to Ichiban on Wednesday morning. All the printed notes stacked up was about 30cm high. Damn heavy! Then he ask me, why didn't I leave it there for them to print yesterday and pick up today. WHY DIDN'T YOU REMIND ME! Haiyo. After going to Ichiban, we went for lunch at the fried rice stall. Feels so good to eat it after so long! (Ignoring my sore throat while eating the fried rice).
Fried Rice! :D
Reached uni at 12pm, car park FULL! We had to park all the way to the last row of the car park. And while we were walking towards campus, all the cars started coming out. WALAOEH y u no come out earlier! JingEn had to carry that whole box of printed notes from his car all the way to our class. His shirt was all drenched in sweat after reaching the class. Went to Pyramid to meet up with Yun, Phiak, Jie, Jiat, Gina and the unimportant WK. Had dinner with them, walked around then went home at 10pm. Damn tired.
Pasta Zanmai
Thursday, which is today, was our first ever real kitchen class. What I mean by real kitchen class is we will be cooking for the restaurant for customers to eat. Best thing, Taylors didn't know that we had kitchen class, so they didn't prepare a single thing for us. Even the chicken was still frozen by the time we were cutting it. Smart Taylors. So we were rushing to prepare everything and Chef Diana was very unhappy about our speed. So she ended up cooking everything in bulks. In the end, we didn't cook much today and most of the cooking was done by chef. Can't imagine if it was an assessment, how low will our marks be.
Before the restaurant started to open, I suddenly came down with headache. A very very very bad headache. Like something heavy smashed on the head, and the left side was pulling against the right side of the head and vice versa. After that, it became left, right and front pulling against each other. Until kitchen class was almost over, I finally went and sit down at the side with Tan who was having stomach ache. Our classmates who walked by all thought that we were just being lazy. Took a bathe in the changing room after class ended and felt better, but my cough worsened after going for the next class. The air cond in Taylors is really too powerful. Felt so sick and sleepy in the class and Evelyn started whatsapping me and ask me if I'm ok. Class ended early and I was planning to take the bus home but she was one step faster than me to ask JingEn to fetch me home. Luckily he fetched me home, if not I think I will faint in the bus.
Kamsahamida hyung!
Kamsahamida hyung!

Part time job part (3)
27th March (Wednesday)
Destination: Sepang again. BMW new motorbike launching. HP4.
Went to uni at 7.30am to wait for JingEn to come and fetch
us. Davin even took a taxi to uni. Alamak! == Reached there at 8.30am, and we
stoned in the car until 9am when David came because we don’t know where’s the
kitchen and if we’re at the correct place.
Rainy morning in Sepang. For once we experience such heavy and long-lasting rain in Sepang
Went up to the kitchen and started our work. My job was to prepare wet cold towels for the
people to use later and I will be down at the pit stop with Davin. David always
puts me with him I don’t know why. It was raining heavily in the morning so I thought
that the test drive will call off, but then they still went on with it after
the sun came out. The humidity! URGH. It
was my first time walking into the pit stop and seeing motorbikes running in
front of my eyes at 200+km/h. The humidity at the pit stop was awful!! Heavy
rain in the morning, then bright sun after noon. Imagine that. How I wish to
have a test ride on the bike too L
Opposite is where we were at during the FMFA week
This cross country bike costs RM89,000++
The new HP4. a track motorbike. RM 1.5mil ++
Another cross country bike, RM 80,000++
Press conference in the pit stop
Another view of the F1 circuit
Work ended at 4pm and I was already very sticky due to the
humidity. Went into JingEn’s car and got worst. His car air cond was blowing
out hot air. Luckily I was sitting in front so there was still slight feel of
cold air. Those sitting at the back was complaining all the way through, saying
his air cond rosak, driving skills not good, getting car sick. But yeah there’s
still room for improvement on his driving skills. I don’t know how many times I
yelled “brake brake brake brake”.
Went to the pharmacy in SS15 to pick up some medicine, then
to Sunway to fetch Nadia. Went to My BurgerLab for early dinner. The queue was
already until outside the door when we reached at 5.30pm. After dinner, we went
to One U to watch movie. Bought tickets for “The Call” since Ah Boys to Men 2
was too late. That movie is really scary. Not the ghost kind of scary, but you
won’t know what to predict for the next second. There was one part where it was
quite sad, Vivian and I started tearing, then JingEn looked at us, then we
looked at each other and started laughing. There was a few scene where I almost
got heart attack and throughout the whole movie, my blood pressure was up. Damn
gan jiong ah! I got scared till I was hugging the arm rest at one point, but
luckily the person sitting beside wasn’t a stranger. If not the awkwardness……
Overall the movie was nice, but the ending abit cacat only.
My BurgerLab. Still delicious. Our photo is still on their wall.
The call.
Came out from the cinema at 10pm, then I suggested to go SS2
for dessert. Normally from One U to SS2 is like 10-15 mins, but we took 40 mins
due to the jam and JingEn got lost halfway. After the movie, we run like crazy
fellas when we see a car reversing. (Is a scene from the movie) JingEn say we
have 看戏后遗症
LOL!
I still can’t find my ling chi kang stall. First time I bought
the wrong one, second time which is today, the stall was closed. Are you
trolling me? The next time I go, I will find you, and eat you!

Part time job (2)
11th March (Monday)
Heavy rain while we were outside Truffles
Went out for dinner with Tan, Davin and JE at the fried laksa in SS14, and then dessert at tong pak fu. The three of us ordered the durian ice, and JingEn ordered honeydew. I kept stealing his honeydew ice since he was busy on the phone. :P After that JE sent me to Subang Avenue to wait for my sister. I was opposite Subang Avenue when sis called, and then told her to wait and that I can see her. At that same moment, a brand new BMW stopped in front of her and she thought that it was JingEn's car. Funny.
Fried laksa and Tong Pak Fu! :D
12 March (Tuesday)
Day 1 at Sepang, food catering for the FMFA crews.
Woke up at 6am, sibeh early. Tan and Davin came like 7am? We were told to reach at 9.30am, but we reached at 9am instead. David and the kitchen crew lagi syok, 10am only reach. So we lingered around, sleep for a while and then started working. Our initial kitchen was in Cooperate Suite 14, but was moved to the burger kitchen behind CS2 in the evening. Imagine all the things we had to carry, and is quite some distance apart. A big chiller, big gas stove, all the kitchenware, cutlery etc etc etc. The organizer, Lau even suggested us to use a trolley to push the chiller. Then he happily pushed a trolley which belongs to us, and told his worker to get him a Hilux for transporting the chiller. Joke of the week man. Dude, that chiller is at least 6ft tall, imagine the weight man.
Different views of the F1 circuit
View of the stage from our tent
View from the outside of our kitchen
Fire? Fogging lol.
They even have an ATM machine there. But it was spoilt on the first day of FMFA. ==
Transported everything down to the place we were supposed to serve food, at it was like a freaking sauna! Imagine 2 tents, totally enclosed, with only 2 doors, under the 12pm sun. Yes, we were in there for 3 hours, without fan and aircond. We were complaining, but KelVin complained the most. What to do, rich kid. LOL. Luckily they gave us an aircond in the end. JOY. After lunch, Tan kept complaining that her stomach feels uncomfortable. She drove up to the toilet and then I realised that she started vomitting and diarrhea. :(
Due to the movement of the kitchen and all the food being exposed to the heat, we couldn't serve dinner on that day. David and Jes refused to serve because they were busy cleaning up the new kitchen, which was freaking dirty. I think it was left empty since the previous F1 event?
Luckily they released us early at 7pm, if not I don't think Tan will be able to survive through the whole thing. We kept telling her to stay at home and rest the next day, but she insisted that she can make it. She even drove us home even though she felt damn ill. Felt so bad for that =/
13 March (Wednesday)
Day 2 at Sepang.
Since Tan is not feeling well, we forced her to stay home and rest. With her condition like that, it would have been difficult to stay through Sunday. Went to uni early in the morning to pass some edu fair things to Ms Jasmine, then waited for JingEn to come. Buy Mcd breakfast never buy for me! Then we went to Mentari to fetch Davin and headed to Sepang. Wanted to sleep in the car but since I've to tell him how to get there, I can't sleep.
Reached there at 10+, still damn early. Followed David's instructions to open the doors and let some air out, and then stoned for 3 hours to wait for him. Went to the audience seat to chill and sleep while the kitchen crew guys went out to LCCT to buy breakfast. But then we were still full so we told them to not buy our share. Regretted so much in the afternoon. We all became so hungry, and no one was free to go out and buy food. By the time David reached, we had to load up all the things and start our serving job. HUNGRYYYY! While working, I really couldn't stand properly due to the dizziness. We stood there while starving until 6pm, and finally they bought dinner! Holy crap.... nasi goreng PEDAS again. TT stomach was already uncomfortable, and with this spiciness, I could feel to stomach burning. Under those kind of circumstances, is either you starve or just eat it. We went to the top level of the audience seat to have our dinner. The view was fantastic! Cooling evening breeze with sunset view. Just too nice. Continued to serve dinner at 7pm, and finally finished work at 10.
Davin, JingEn and me
We were so bored till we started playing a rubber band game that appeared in Running Man before.
Windy! Nice weather :)
Panaroma view from the upper level of audience seat
F1 pit stop
The sunset with some drizzle of rain that accompanied our dinner. Romantic but wrong timing!
Then we realised something. Both days of the FMFA concert will be until 2am. We always thought that is only the Friday night one which is until 2am, and Saturday one will end earlier. Then only David tell us that both Friday and Saturday we will be staying at Nilai since the concert will end very late. *OH-UH!!!!* We still have to go for edu fair on Sunday and got to reach uni by 9am! Such a good news.
Genius JingEn's car have only 2 petak of petrol left in the car when we left Sepang. There's a Petronas right opposite the F1 circuit, but he insisted to pump Shell instead. Just like my cousin. == Left us worried for 50km till we reached USJ and went to a Shell station. Please check your petrol before travelling next time terima kasih banyak-banyak!
14 March (Thursday)
Off day! :D
15 March (Friday)
Packed all my things for 3 days and off we go! Reach Sepang and the same routine starts. Waited till their lunch ended, then we only pack and go back to our kitchen for lunch. I think it was some kind of Nasi Kandar with salted eggs and not-so-spicy curry. We ate some of the food from the buffet we serve before coming up, so one packet of rice was actually too much. When JingEn was trying to open up the packet of curry, suddenly *SPALSH!* Curry spilled everywhere on the floor. Luckily it didn't kena my shoes if not I'm so going to kill him. That packet of rice wasn't very big but we were quite full, even the 2 of us could barely finish the rice. I took all the salted egg white and left JE with the yolk. Evil, I know. But hahahahahaha to bad for him to be my 'hyung' :P He enjoys the yolk anyway. Weird.
My FMFA pass
The pathetic table we had our lunch on
From the back of the stage
Taken by JingEn. The only one who has the access card to go to the front stage.
The white colour thing is actually balloons. When the concert was about to end, they released all the balloons in the air and it looked like stars blinking. Too beautiful.
Washed all the crockery and cutlery for serving dinner, and JE headed off to settle the artist's food. Of course la they will have seperate food right. Then the 4 of us stoned again for 2 hours before we continued working. That night's dinner was a total mess! The food was only catered for international crews and some artist, but the local crews and us didn't know anything about it. So we kept running out of food. STRESS. But I think kitchen more stressed up la got to keep cooking and cooking. And there was this Aussie lady Paula, she came in almost everyday and will be stressing us out. "I need 5 plates of food for my crew right now". And her now means right now. HELLOOOOOO are we your maid or something? Ok nevermind, we pack nicely for her. But then the next day, we will see all the 5 plates stacked up outside the tent, with the food left untouched and it smells AWFUL. That was the most geram thing we face everytime she comes in. Can't you just get your crew's ass down here to eat and go?
The music from the stage was damn loud and noisy, our whole tent kept vibrating, my head was aching like crazy, and I was freaking hungry. Should have just ate the whole packet of rice instead of sharing. Finally we waited will 2am, then we started packing and cleaning and went to our rented house in Nilai. When we were on our way at a traffic light, Tan saw a lady, wearing a thin see-through white t-shirt, with a pink bra. We all were saying "whoaaaaa", but then JingEn was like "WHERE? WHERE?". His reaction was damn funny. Naughty boy! Hahahaha.
We reached Nilai at around 3am I guess? The kitchen crew went into the house first and took the master bedroom. So we the juniors took the smaller room which has only two single beds. By the time we all finish bathing, it was nearing 4.30am. Best thing, there's no hot water supply for bathing! Coldddddd. Tan and Vivian shared the single bed (I dont know how did they manage to sleep) and Davin took the other bed. JingEn and I both slept on the floor in our sleeping bags. I couldn't really sleep and woke up every interval hour due to all kinds of reasons: air cond too cold, davin's alarm, vivian's alarm, almost knocking into JingEn etc. Im the kind of person who cannot sleep still, so each time I wake up, I will find myself right beside him, and then I turn back, sleep, and the same thing happens.
16 March (Saturday)
We woke up at 9am to find that there wasn't water in all the bathrooms! So we had to use the mineral water from FMFA to brush our teeth. Bought Mcd breakfast on the way to Sepang and Tan decided to take her bathe there.
Last day of FMFA! Today was abit different. JingEn continued to concentrate on the VIP artist part, Tan and Vivian was at CS17 serving buffet for the artist and their crew, Davin and I was at the tent serving Prodigy and their crew. While we were serving the buffet dinner, JingEn came down with Jay for a while. Then I told him "형 배고파", he then tell me:我也很饿，都还没吃饭. That fella was quite dehydrated but then when we pass him a bottle of water he doesn't want it, and when we pass it to him in a cup, he gobbles it up. Can't blame him, how to drink from a 9.5Lit bottle. Their black shirt was covered with white patches from the evaporated sweat, especially the kitchen guys. While we were clearing the buffet dinner, I texted him and ask if we should leave some food for him. Mana tau he said no need la, cold already also not nice. 饿死你！Jane still scooped up food for 4 pax, just incase JingEn wants to eat. The three of us ate almost everything, and left him with some lamb and wedges. Right after that, he came down with Jay to look for food. Whack you ah! Just now say don't want now say want food. Be glad that I didn't finish all the food. Was still so hungry even after eating.
David call at 11+ and ask us if we want burger from my burgerlab. I thought he was joking as burgerlab is in Sea Park and we were in Sepang. Then only I found out that they have a stall set up in Sepang but the burgers were sold out very early. Sob. No supper for us :(
Prodigy's supper was to be served at 2am, so by the time they finish eating and we clean up everything, it was already 3+am. Since it was our last day there, we were all chilling outside the kitchen, sitting on the grass drinking strawberry vodka and Asahi. JingEn accidentally pronounced it as Asasi and it became our joke since then. Tan drank two and a half cans of Asahi and was starting to get drunk but she still insist that she can drive. We all even bluff her that she went and climb a tree. Another joke since then.
Went back to Nilai at 5am, still no water! We followed the instructions given by the house owner and tuen on all the pipes, still no difference. Tan and Vivian was already dead in the car, Davin was sleeping in the living hall. David, Jes and Jane decided to go home since there's no water but there's no point of us going back to Tan's house at that moment, so we decided to stay there for the night. So JingEn and I were busy filling up water from the kitchen into the pails for them to bathe and sleep. Tan was damn ganas that night. JingEn asked her to get down the car and go into the house to sleep, but he ended up getting scolded. Poor boy. The two of us only managed to sleep after 6am, when the younger ones were already sleeping comfortably.
17th March (Sunday)
Slept for less than one hour, and it was time to wake up and get to uni. Imagine how little sleep did we get this few days. My biological clock and eating time was totally screwed. My brain will become very very very blur when it's lacking of sleep. Tan woke up and ask me how did the two of us (JE and I) bathe, I almost answered her: 一起冲. But yeah, same time in different bathrooms. Brain oh brain.
Reached uni at 9am, had our speed breakfast then went to Thyme restaurant to meet Ms Jasmine. She didn't inform us that we need to put on make up, so when she saw our faces, she was shocked. Okay, now we know you have to groom yourself properly if you're working in the front line, no matter for guys or girls. And grooming means from head to toe, hair to face to attire to shoes. Yeah going to face this in sem 2 again.
Went to KLCC and started setting up our booth. Oyr job today was to make drinks and promote our Uni/course. But if compared to the ones working on Saturday, we did a bad job. Obviously you can't compare sem6 students to sem1 students right? We need more of this kind of exposure man!
We learnt how to make syrup carviar by dropping it from a syringe into edible calcium water. Then I was assigned to make another drink called "plant in a pot" which is made of chocolate lassi (chocolate syrup+milk+yogurt) and a layer of mint foam and garnished with a stalk of mint leaf on top. Mr Justin was the one who teached us how to make all these drinks. Not the carviar though, that was by Mr Steven I think, who is an alumni of our uni.
Packed everything up and went back to uni to wash up. Second time using the dish washer. Damn cool la!
Went to SS14 for bak kut teh with Ms Jasmine and the others. Miss the bak kut teh there so much! Went home and knock out after that.
All done by Taylor's culinary students. Damn pro!
21 March (Thursday)
David decided to belanja us lunch today :D
Went to Subang Parade with JingEn in the morning to look for postcards (Who still sends postcards nowadays?) then we headed off to uni to settle out fees and get the dean's list. While he was buying curry puff from the stall in Block E, I was standing beside him and the worker there asked :" girlfriend ah?" OMG damn embarrassing pls. Then the both of us said no no no and quickly walked off.
Reached David's larder in Ampang and his son, Jamie was playing computer games and making whole lots of noise hahaha.
Each of us opened a bottle of beer before eating and I opened a second one after lunch. The dishes they cook was freaking awesome!! Especially the beef. No sauce or flavouring, just medium rare and salt. The potato was delicious too! Soaked in milk and then goose fat and baked. Holy... I can die for it.
Then it was dessert time. Tiramisu from Alexis. Tiramisu has always been my favourite cake of all. :D
After dessert, David took out a few bottles of Rogue which he stole from FMFA. According to him, this bottle costs RM25 per bottle. WOW! JingEn couldn't finish his cup as he can't take the taste of it so I ended up finishing 2 cups including his. Started to get high after all these alcoholic drinks, and they still gave us a cup of Patron. That tequila was really really dry and rough. One small sip and I could feel the burnnnnn in the throat. That was one unforgettable meal.
来来来，一人一瓶！
Tan and Davin
Seafood pasta
Beef beef beef!
French loaf and the yummy potato
Rocket salad with balsamic vinegar, mozzarella cheese and tomato
Whole table of yummy food
Chickennn! The skin was crispy and delicious. For a person who doesn't like to eat skin saying that it is delicious. Imagine that.
Tiramisu cake from Alexis. The one I can die for.
The one in the cup is from the right hand side bottle, Rogue. This is the one I had to finish for JingEn. Juniper (left) tastes better actually.
The burning Tequila. But it tastes better after mixing with coke.
P/S: I saw Jinnyboy on one of the days in Sepang. Friday I guess? But we were in the car rushing to go down to the food tent, so there was no chance to see him face to face :( so near yet so far.
