WHAT YOU WAITING FO?????

This post is long. Long. LONG overdue. I’m about to attempt something semi-epic. I SHALL RUN THROUGH ALL THE HAPPENINGS FROM THE WEEK BEFORE COLLEGE TILL NOW (The end of term 1). Not THAT much happened. But hey, its been an adventure so far. Whether you’re going to read through this entire post (if you do, you must either be really bored, or really in to this blog) or just scrolling through to see the photos, I hope you enjoy them =D

In April:

I worked. (And drank on the job. Okay we only drank AFTER the job was done.)

   I had the time of my pre-college life with some of my best friends.

I conquered my fear. (well, to some extent.)

I became an uncle to a very beautiful Faith Wong.  I’M AN UNCLE (again.)

    I started college.

I got a shot. (again.)

 

In May:

I finally got back into a kitchen.

And made some new friends in the process.

I caught up with some old friends :)

I helped dig a hole for a barbecue to celebrate a friend’s birthday

Yes Lydia, that’s you.

I had to dress up for Bollywood.

I made even more friends in the process.

I helped an old friend with a project.

To do so, I reverted to my old ways.

And made more acquaintances (pardon the lingo) along the way =D

 

In June:

I celebrated my old man’s birthday =D

I attended my first flairtending class. No I didn’t break any bottles. Yes, the bottle is virtually unbreakable.

I cooked some more.

I worked. Again. And on my way to work, I got lost with a friend. Again.

  And this time I DID DRINK ON THE JOB. Because we were allowed to.

Oh yea.

  I got an idea for a new room wallpaper.

I wonder if holding a lemon, or any fruit for that matter, in your hands in that way, could get you sued.

 

There’s actually plenty more photos, plenty more stories, but these are just the main highlights la I guess. All in the all, the past 3 months have been sort of an adventure in a sense, what with getting lost in Bukit Jalil when I’m supposed to be in Bukit Damansara for a job, sitting on an actual roller-coaster for the first time in my life, screaming every single pork dish that came to mind while I was on the roller-coaster, getting cut on a daily basis at work, driving to college and back, racing against a friend using an Iswara that’s well over 14 years old, push starting my car with the help of friends, rushing assignments, rushing to print assignments, watching epic movies with epic friends, learning to flair with bottles, driving without shoes, and possibly, le début pour se laisser prendre à quelqu'un. And etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Like I said, its been an adventure so far,And there’s plenty more where that came from. 

So that’s that. =D

Time’s passed me by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at home wondering what I was going for 4 months until college started. It seems like just yesterday I had started my first day of work as waiter, then a cook. It seems like just yesterday I had no idea what I’ve been missing out this entire time. I’m going to try to make the most of whatever time I have.

 

Until the next post,

Au Revoir.

Last day at work.

Its been about two weeks since I last stopped working at Tokyo G, and I’ve been putting it off for quite some time, updating about it. But here it is =D

Brought my camera to work, to take a few more pics than I did the last time. Kitchen staff said they had something prepared for me when my shift ended. I had no idea what it was, but heck, I really didn’t want to know. Not really going to miss the wormhole wall in the restaurant. It makes me sleepy la.

The day went on as usual, only difference was me taking more photos than I usually did.

It was about 1 plus when I arrived at work, and kitchen staff like Eric were already busy with their preparations as usual The day seemed pretty normal and dull, customers come, customers eat, customers leave.

BUT THEN CALVIN AND CHIN WERN PAID ME A SURPRISE VISIT Shit, outta focus. Miss the bugger la. Going back to ns and all. Take a wild guess why he’s wearing that beanie.XD Can’t wait for him to get back la, so can hang out.

Then they left, it got dull again….until my split-shift break along with Wei Lun, Ken, and Jonathan. Since it was my last day, I brought something special with me for lunch – Mash Potatoes with Gravy and Roast Chicken. It was supposed to be an awesome lunch. Until I opened the tupperware. I forgot that milk turns sour if left outta the fridge for a long time. And that my mom used milk when she makes mash potatoes. Do the math la people. I salvaged the chicken *hey food’s still food la* and the kitchen staff were nice enough to gimme a big bowl of rice. Along with some fking spicy java type stir fried chicken with who knows how much chilli padi inside.

While I was still on break, went with most of the tokyo cinas to GSC to have a look at the showtimes for Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Not a bad movie by the way. A little too predictable at some points though. More on that later.

When we came back, Sherwin was already waiting for me at my restaurant. So with the mere 20 minutes I had left on break, we paid a visit to Eric and Cher Haow at Mac CityIf you really can’t see him, let me know, and I’ll arrange a bleaching for him =D He left after walking back with me to my restaurant, and I went about the rest of my day. Took a few more photos of the service crew while I was still aroundFront row: UCIIIII, AZZIM *awesome supervisors, thanks guys for everything*

2nd row: Jonathan, Ken, and Wei Lun *thanks for all the help, advice, and ks-ing ==* Chee How gets his own photo because because he’s camera shy. Sorry for the mistakes and wrong doings i did :S Great supervisor too btw. =D

Before dinner time, we went out on our last illegal flyer run around OUDon’t ask. LOL

We walked around more, harassing people rather than giving out flyers and taking weird photos with signboards. Your usual stuff la. We continued on walking nearby Oriental Cravings and there was this traditional Chinese music performance lol after they were done with their first set, it was time to go. But just for the fun of it we gave them a few 5 ringgit vouchers to use IF they ever came by our restaurant

The day went on as usual. Nothing significant really happened. UNTIL:THEY PAID A VISIT. And had a meal. Thanks guys for coming on my last day =D Keamsunn, Jielin, Cv, Beelian and another friend *IFORGOTYOURNAMEIMSORRY* came for dinner and chatted for a while. Nice seeing them after so long. CV WHEN YOU FREE YOU MCB.By the time they were leaving my shift was already over, so I thought what the heck la, take a few pics to commemorate their visit la. Jonathan fail by the way.Awesome friends they are.

Haiz they had to split before we could hang out any longer. Just then, some of the kitchen staff called me into the kitchen. I didn’t know what to expect, but just in case, I removed my phone and wallet. And it stepped in.

They asked me to look for something in their closet. Being blur at that time, I thought they were going to pour water down on me.

How wrong I was.

The first thing I remember was an egg being cracked on my head. Next thing you know, flour’s being thrown on me, tobiko rubbed into my hair, more eggs cracked in my shirt, pants, everywhere la. Oh and there was green tea poured down my pants too. Anti-oxidant-y :PYou get the idea.

They hosed me down after at the back of the restaurant. You don’t want to see THOSE photos. By the time they’re done, well you can guess la. I didn’t have any spare clothes except a t-shirt in my bag. They gave me a small towel *you know those white ones used to wipe table? except they’re clean la* and a pair of pants 1 size too small for me. All this and I had to go watch a movie after == Lol you kitchen camwhores….

The kitchen staff are damn nice folks la once you get to know them well. They sorta gave me my last supper there. They also gave me a whole big plastic dish full off tempura prawns, fried chicken, and soft shell crab. OF COURSE I SHARED IT ALL WITH MY WORKMATES LA. just in case you were wondering.

Before you knew it, it was closing time, and they were nice enough to gather outside for one last photo before I left I sorta miss working there, cos everyone was sorta like family. Well, some more than others, but you get my point. Thanks again for the experience!

Au Revoir Tokyo G.

Till the next post readers =D

On a random note: Tapas are pretty fun to cook.
