Overdose Of Libra [III]

Again… I am so sorry for this late/slow post. You wanna know why, because I  have spent too much time with Libra-s and thus, I have been uhh, overdosed of Libra for a long time and therefore, I cannot make up my mind on what should I blog about but to only blog about Overdose Of Libra [III] .

~*~

Overdose Of Libra Part A

I love breakfast with good conversation and I love it especially when friends ask me out for breakfast at McDonald’s or the coffee shop behind old Apex [This is a place full with good memories !]. But actually, breakfast anywhere is just the same with great company around .

Once Nano [The Libra!] treated me McDonald’s coffee [Coupon] and then I treated her McDonald’s Sausage McMuffin With Egg [Coupon] .

Slurp, slurp! But I still prefer the one with the sausage roll .

My face will make a very good advertisement for McDonald’s breakfast poster. Look at my muka baru bangun tidur and best of all, look at my rambut baru bangun tidur . Dearest McDonald’s, please do not hesitate to contact me as long as the pay is good !

Muka baru bangun tidur Nano!

Everyone, this is Nano’s new purse which is inspired by me because I am the first one to start walking around with my money all chuck into a plastic bag and now, Nano improvised my idea and use a ziplock plastic bag .

Overdose Of Libra Part B

Some other day, Nano [The Libra!], Kean Jie [The Libra!] and I went out for our morning breakfast at McDonald’s and then went for a drink at some restaurant near Convent and went for lunch at Station Kopitiam until evening. See la, overdose of Libra for more than half a day =X.

P/S: Content = Overdose Of Kean Jie.

Happy .

Singing .

Fatt hau .

This one needs no caption .

.

Showing off his long hair -_________-…

Sampat!

And we met Tan Wai Kian, my gila partner in crime on public buses [Hahaha! =P] for scaring all the other passengers by sending flying kisses to other! =P He is 3 years younger than me and I can totally imagine what will happen if we are in the same class in school! [SMK Tinggi Kajang = SMK Topsy-Turvy]

He didn’t kiss me. We are just posing for the camera!

This is Nano at Station Kopitiam =D.

Kid’s Meal! I let you guess who order one =P. Nano and Kean Jie cannot play! =P

Overdose Of Libra Part C

Pik Teng [The Libra!], Nano [The Libra!] and I went clubbing <3 .

HAHAHA! No la, no la, kidding only =P. We went out and lepak together and yea, overdose of Libra again lo =X.

Overdose Of Libra Part D

This one is the paling teruk one . You know why, you don’t know right, never mind I tell you now then you will know . Because right, Nano, Pik Teng and I got the same job at Alamanda, Putrajaya. I would very much love to blog about my job but this is not the right time, wait till I resign [Probably end of this year] from my job and I shall tell you all about it =P.

So anyway, Pik Teng and I stayed over at Nano’s house for 3 days and yah, I am telling you this, I AM OVERDOSE OF LIBRA until the maximum. In the living room, Pico is using the laptop, I am sitting in between Nano and Pik Teng and Nano’s mum is behind us using the laptop.

The best news? The Libra-s are…

a) Nano

b) Pico

c) Pik Teng

d) Nano and Pico’s Mum

-________- I am stuck in a living room with all the Libra-s and then never mind, I sleep in the same room with the four Libra-s for 3 nights! You say la, overdose of Libra or not! =|But it’s okay, Libra-s are very friendly people who can be very, very crazy .

Nano dalam kedudukan yang tersangatnya cho lo/unlady like =P.

Caitlynn! =P

Remind me to tell you a story on how Nano lost a teddy bear to Caitlynn and how I played Hospital with Caitlynn during my first stay at Nano’s house .

The daily routine every morning and night .

Kerja orang yang biasa tidur selepas pukul 1 pagi dan terpaksa tidur pada pukul 11 malam =P.

Pik Teng and I =P.

Nano and I! =P

Us with the miniature Sydney Opera House.

We went to Sydney together!! <3 <3 !! I love my Nano and my Nano loves me !!

Lunch with Nano ^_^!

Her dinner. Now we all know why she is such a Nano!

One of my dinner! =P This pizza is from Cold Storage and it cost less than RM3 and it is totally worth my money!

My pizza with lotsa toppings and cheese!

And this is me, enjoying my Cold Storage pizza at McDonald’s . I love McDonald’s! You know why, because when your food needs more pepper/salt/sugar/tomato or chili sauce, you just head over to McDonald’s for some free spices/sauces .

And McDonald’s too provide a good place for you to sleep during your break time =P.

My lunch with Pik Teng =P.

Pik Teng with the delicious mango peach sundae! McDonald’s mango peach sundae is very, very delicious and it is absolutely recommended so everyone must go and try it as soon as possible because it is my ever most favourite ice-cream from McDonald’s now other than the normal sundae cone and McFlurry Oreo .

Pik Teng and I enjoying our mango peach sundae! =P

Chicken McDeluxe! =P [Apa-apa saja la the name =P]

My burger! =P Yummy or not! =P

Hehe! One of the place that we have to visit at times during our working hours =P.

Pasta from Carrefour which tasted not too bad except I went to McDonald’s to add more pepper and this tupperware full of pasta [You take yourself and you pay by its weight =P] cost me around RM2.15 .

A place where Pik Teng and I had our dinner together <3  .

This is where Nano and I spend our money at for our morning drinks! =P

And right in front of Starbucks, we went over to have Big Apple Donuts . Nano, don’t you love drinking Starbucks and eating doughnuts while sharing some good secrets and talks together?!

And most of all, I miss snacking in the middle of the night while gossiping with the Libra-s!

So the next time when all of you meet me, when I am being indecisive, too compromising and diplomatic, yea, you all know why =P [Overdose Of Libra].

You Know You Are From The Cashiering Department On The Star II

I know la I’m supposed to blog about CNY and Ai Leng’s birthday party. But wait la, let me blog about this first okay? =p

When you are a cashier, you realize actually how similar are most customers and how irritating are the Chinese aunties [no offense here! I'm a Chinese too ].

1. Customers selalu lupa timbang sayur dan buah-buahan

You know what ah, those customers seriously thinks that us, the cashier, know the price for every single thing in Bintang. Let’s say there’s 100 things in Bintang, customers expect us to remember every single thing that we have and know every single price and every single code.

Please la, sometimes you work in a company and your company has 100 staffs and I’m sure, you don’t know all of them as well. Customers always have this habit of ‘lupa timbang barang’ just like how we students have this habit of ‘lupa buat homework’.

a) Alamak! Saya lupa timbang sayur saya! [Alamak! I forgot to weigh my vegetables!]

Cashier: Ini belum timbang [This one haven't weigh yet.]

Customer: Alamak! Eh sayang, lupa timbang lah. [Alamak! Eh darling, forgot to weigh la]

And obviously that customer is talking to his/her wife/husband la.

Customer: Sini tak boleh timbang ke? [Can weigh here ah?]

Cashier: Oh tak boleh, tak boleh. Sini kira jumlah saja. [Oh cannot, cannot. Here, we only count the total of your stuffs only]

Customer: Aiyo! Then, macam mana? [Aiyo! Then how?]

Cashier: Bayar dulu, lepas tu pergi belakang timbang. Nanti I bagi you bayar dulu la. [You pay first, then you go to the back and weigh. Then I let you pay first la later]

This one then never mind, at least it doesn’t irritate us the cashier. But what irritates us are this kind of customers; right after you tell them that they need to weigh the vegetables and fruits, without you needing to say more or them to say more, they RUN to the weighing counter at the back of Bintang, leaving their stuffs on your counter for you to scan.

And by the time you are done, and if they still haven’t return and you have other customers to be layan, the other customers will stare at you, wondering what the hell are you doing or thinking that you are stupid; like, oh, why can’t you do two separate receipts, then you can slowly total up his one later and layan me first -_-

I tell you what, IF WE CAN DO THAT, WE WILL.

b) One apple is 60 cents. I no cheat you one. The board there says so.

Cashier: Eh, this apple must weigh first one la

Actually, weigh so that the girl at the weighing counter will stick the code there for us to scan ’cause we cashier don’t memorize every single code unless some codes that are compulsory for us to memorize.

Customer: Hah? Need to weigh first one meh? Don’t need la! For what?! I tell you, one is for 60 cents la. Just key in 60 cents la.

Cashier: Haha. No la, no la, I want the bar code.

Customer: You just key in! One apple is 60 cents. I no cheat you one. The board there says so.

Darling, if I just need to key in the price, I don’t need the code okay. The thing is, we the cashier, we scan the bar code and then only we will know the price. We work by bar codes and not keying in the price like some sundry shops.

2. Plastic are water absorbent.

When you wipe the counter with a wet cloth, obviously some water droplets will there. And then what will be wet when you put your packet of fruits on the counter? [Note: Fruits are already in a plastic and tied up]

Do you know what will be wet?

Think la.

The plastic?

NO LA!

THINK HARDER!

Don’t know?

THE FRUITS LO!

Actually I don’t know one. But one customer told me so.

3. OH MY BANANA!

Dear customers, next time if one of the fruit on the banana is like going to break anytime, please inform the cashier earlier or either, choose another one.

And if you never inform the cashier in advance, please don’t go “OH MY BANANA!” ’cause what I think is, as long as your husband’s one or your one [if you happen to be a guy] didn’t break, is good enough.

4. Free gifts

Everyone thinks that the cashier keep all the free gifts at the counter and everyone thinks that the cashier know which stuffs you buy, you get free gift.

In actual fact, we don’t. So stop asking us already.

Customer: Eh! You help me see got what free gift. *puts a long, long receipt on the counter*

Cashier: *Blink* Well, I don’t know ’cause I’m not in charge with the free gift stuffs. You have to ask Customer Service, at the back there.

That is a very polite answer. A not so polite answer from the cashier will be -> Don’t know. And then this is what the customer will always tell us.

Haiyo, you what also don’t know. What you know ah? *grumbles and mumbles, showing sour face*

We know how to receive payment for goods.

In conclusion, either way they are going to blame you for don’t know anything, so just tell answer them, DON’T KNOW. Shorter and easier.

5. Card Power

Wa, some customers right, got credit card one you know. Don’t pray-pray man! Especially if they have platinum credit card or Diners card. Very geng one you know. Want to know how geng or not? Listen up. Once upon a time…

If you have a credit card, be it the normal one or platinum, you still have to queue up. It’s not like you have a platinum credit card or Diners card then we have to serve you first and give you better service. We treat every customer equally.

Stop bragging and showing off your card on your face expression like you shouldn’t be made to wait. So what if you are paying with a platinum credit card or a Diners card? I seriously don’t see any difference. It’s just that, you can afford to. That’s alright. I don’t care anyway ’cause it’s your money, NOT MINE.

But quit making faces at the customer in front of you and quit making impatient noise just because both of you come with full trolleys ’cause it makes the customer in front of you feels uncomfortable. How will you feel if you are in that customer’s position? Will you even like it?

And don’t ever throw your card on the counter for us the cashier to pick up ’cause if you are rich or some sort of Datuk or Datin or Doctor, I don’t care ’cause that’s not the way how you should behave. Be more civilized. Really.

That’s it people =p Behind the scenes of Bintang cashiering department.

You Know You Are From The Cashiering Department On The Star

You know those Friendster bulletion board and E-Mails that you receive with the title You Know You Are A Malaysian When?

Yes, you know that. So here’s mine, entitled You Know You Are From The Cashiering Department On The Star When…

1. You know all the FAQ by customers.

All time FAQ by customers are as follow:

a) Where to register for the Star card ah?

And your reply is always, “Oh, Customer Service.”Customers will then proceed to turn their head to the back, while pointing their finger at the Customer Service office, asking, “That one ah?” and your answer is always, “Yes, that one.”

b) EH! Not 3 ikat of sayur for 99 cents meh?! Why is it 1.50 one?! or EH! Not 8 oranges/apples for 5.99 meh?! Why 7.20 one?!

And you will look up, explaining to them about how the screen cannot show promotion items and that they can refer to the receipt. Customers will then look confuse and they will eye on you suspiciously, as if you want to cheat their money and then you will proceed to ignore them and start to curse and swear if they come with a full trolley.

When the receipt is finally printed out, customers will check the receipt to see if what you say is true and when they realized that you never cheat them, they smile and walk away. And you will smirk behind them ’cause you are correct =p.

c) Apply for Star card must pay ah?

Cashier: Yes. Must pay RM10.

Customer: *Muka terkejut* WHAT? RM10 AHHH?? The card got what use ahhh?

Cashier: Oh… to collect points lo…

Customers: Then?!

Cashier: Then you exchange for some thing laaaaa. Ha-ha…

Customers: HAH? Worth it or not wan orh? Exchange for what ah??

Cashier: Err, don’t know?

And then the next question by customer, kindly refer to Part 1 a).

2. You feel like bringing your CD collection to the Star

Because they record the radio play and replay it a dozen times a day that you can even memorize the lyrics and can even sing along and you can’t hear the same song ever again [even if it's your favourite song].

The supermarket music and music section song clashes together that you don’t know which one to listen to and you talk about how you want to bring your whole CD collection or the songs in your computer for the Star to use because:

December Music List:

a) The whole album of Love Songs Collection II

b) The whole of Westlife Coast To Coast Album

c) Christmas songs

d) The recorded radio play

e) Farm’s Best advertisement on radio [Everybody loves Farm's Best -________-]

January Music List:

a) Chinese New Year songs -_____- Everyyyy singleeee dayyyyy [supermarket song]
b) Pussycat Dolls whole album [music department]

c) The Ginvera Green Tea Shower Scrub and Bio Essence advertisement on radio.

Everyday the same one okay??

3. You will feel whacking the big screen TV for replaying the same advertisement over and over again.

a) F&N Sweetened Milk advertisement

There is a scene of a little girl on the dining table with her teddy bear and her mum at the back, cooking.

Girl: Hari ini, saya nak masak kari ayam, buat air bandung dan PUDING! [Today, I want to cook chicken curry, make 'air bandung' and pudding!]

Teddy bear: -No respond-

Girl: Uh-oh! Terlupaaaaa saya! [Uh-oh! I forgot!]

And she runs to her mother.

Girl: Nak beli susu boleh mama? [Mum, I want to buy milk.]

Mum: Boleh sayang. [Of course my dear]

And her mum opens the cupboard and take out a can of F&N sweetened milk for her -_____________-.

b) The Massage Chair advertisment

Old man: This massage chair ah, very comfortable la. I don’t understand our children you know. Why ah, when talk about comfort hor, they only think about their mum? Actually dad also need a massage chair like this one ma.
Old woman: Ooo, you jealous la now?

Old man: No la. Now our children are already successful, I’m contented.

Then the daughter will come in the scene.

Daughter: Dad, you are the best.

-__________________-!! And this two advertisement will replay again and again as long as you are in the supermarket.

4. You groan when you get counter 11, 12 and 10.

There’s a few reason, one of them is because you will never get to sit but to stand all day long. To add on, counter 11 is a bit cacat-ed because you have to key in password to undo your previous step and for counter 12, you have to slam the cash box cover really hard or else it will open up again like those box with a boxer hand in. And not to forget, counter 10 make funny sounds like this – TIT TIT TIT!!! suddenly when you are scanning halfway and then, everyone will look at you and so, it’s not a bad thing after all, ’cause you are THE STAR for a few seconds.

5.  You know all this:

a) 070000878 – code for the spinach/kangkung/sawi. 1 is for 50 cents. 3 is for 99 cents. If you take 2, it’s for RM1. Don’t waste your 1 cent. Take one more even if you don’t need it just to save the 1 cent. You can choose to either feed your pet or to decorate your living hall.

b) 100002569 – telur ayam gred c

c) 59001 – mee kuning

d) 59002 – kueh teow

e) 59003 – mee tikus

f) 070000049 – bawang putih 500g

g)  55001 – mushroom segar ! haha

h) 010001458 – bihun Bintang

i) 010008939 – Desa Mauripan Instant Yeast

6. You start to complain when you have to eat your lunch at 2 p.m.

Simple. What is left are the leftovers .

Now people on the Star, tell me how true can this get

Goodbye

To all my dear friends on the star who are leaving today

I don’t know how to say goodbye to all of you face to face. In fact, I don’t know how will tomorrow be without all of you there. I remember last Monday; my first day of work, I remember how I came to know all this amazing people and now, they are all leaving. I know when I’m typing this, all of you are busy working and serving the customers =p and here I am, typing this piece of goodbye note to all of you.

To Kwan Yann Way, I want to thank you for trusting me with your account and because of you, I get used to the crowd and I don’t get panic easily anymore. Just want you to know, because of you, I know there is someone as crappy as me as well and I’m happy to know you! Though you refuse to give me your number and told me to just keep you in memory and I promise you, I will and hopefully, you will too .

To Brian, thank you for being such a good listener and such a great friend. I’m sorry ’cause you have to listen to all my endless talks/rants ’cause you didn’t ask for them and just wanted you to know, that you are such a great friend and a very reliable person. And lastly, I would like to apologize if I did anything that irritates you in this short period of time.

To Alex, though we never really talk. I want to say thank you for helping me to count the credit card receipts =p Yes la, it’s 12 la, not 11 la =p. I know you are such a humorous person and a cheerful one as well and I just know yesterday that you are my sister’s best friend’s brother …

To Calvin, though we only had one very short conversation, but still, I find you cute and humorous in a way . I don’t know you well, but I’m sure, the place without all of you will never be the same again.

Though it’s not really goodbye, but still, goodbye and it’s nice knowing all of you. All the best in your SPM next year and may God bless all of you!

The People On The Star

Today’s my 5th day of working and I totally enjoy it! I was a packer for 3 days and a cashier for 2 days already.

I have many friends there right now. They are all very nice and helpful to me. Here, let me tell you about my friends at my working place [Chewah, quote Syahirah Johari: Yealah tu! Orang bekerjaya!]

1. Leong Wai Mun

Everyone calls her Hui Wen. She’s the first one who talks to me when I was sitting alone . She’s really friendly and she’s pretty! I like her sincerity and the way she would listen to what I want to say.

She is extremely helpful whenever I need her help and whenever I’m bored, she will always look at me and give me a smile or she will come over just to say hie, even if it means 2 seconds

I enjoy working with this young lady because she is nice and extremely gentle with her words. Of all, she’s a really nice girl .

2. Kwan Yann Way

Orang ini, memang cakap banyak. Cuma hari ini dia tak cakap banyak sebab dia letih [tak cukup tidur la tu!]. He is one, who allows me to use his account to be a cashier ['cause I don't have a account yet that time]. And so, he was my packer la then [ha-ha-ha!] and of course la, he’s also my sifu ’cause he taught me many things.

I enjoy working with him ’cause I don’t feel stress at all! In fact, he craps more than me [Syahirah, you tak rabun =p]. He talks to me when there is no customer [kita semua paling syiok, tak payah buat kerja la =p] and he talks to the customer about anything randomly on his mind when he is layan-ing the customer.

I tell you what, his favourite phrases are:

a) Eh, see the screen leh! Don’t syiok-syiok scan only.

b) Oh, must see the receipt. Dunno why the display siao siao wan. Don’t worry, the price is correct.

c) Card sudah expired. Boleh renew kat Customer Service. Belakang sana.

d) I only got one advice for you if you open your own counter, look at the screen.

e) Finally you remember the code for the sayur.

f) Cis! Cannot puji you one! Puji liao then do wrong already.

g) Receeeeeipppttttt!

h) Thank you.

i) Ada kad Bintang? [Please auto translate yourself to Bahasa Cina and Bahasa Inggeris]

j) See also know got 8 biji already la. Hahaha! I told you so. Wooohoo, of course la, I’m an expert you know. If not how to become your sifu. Woiyo! TENGOOKKKK SCREEEENNN!!!

Hahaha! He is my partner for posing in front of the CCTV for the fun of it and I love it when his name card is in my pocket [Ha-ha-ha! Admit that you are freaked out =p]. Lastly, he is a very nice person to crap with

3. Wan Chui Sen

A very soft spoken girl and she’s really cute when she speaks in her panicky voice. Thank you for helping me yesterday and today. Without her yesterday and today, I’ll be very lost -_-… [Quote Ee Jane, you memang sesat!]

Though I don’t talk much to her, but I know, she’s a really nice person .

4. Low Hui Sze

The first person that I met on my first day of work. She gave me a list of codes in which I will be needing them. She is friendly and she’s a pretty nice girl .

5. Brian

Ha-ha-ha! This guy, he was stuck with me the whole night the day before yesterday ’cause I was his packer. I was busy talking and talking and believe me, you will feel very pendek standing beside him.

He is a very nice guy and a very nice person to talk to . He is very intelligent [I feel so and he is -_-...]. Well, sorry la ini pendek sikit, sebab he doesn’t talk much .

Remember to give me the link to your videos when you have uploaded them .

6. Yang

Sorry, I forgot his name ’cause I kept on calling him Yang [his surname]. He is very, very [to the power of infinity] helpful. Yesterday, I was having a little problem handling the whole counter by myself and thank God his counter was just beside mine Whenever I call him, he will always answer and will help me out which makes me less panicky yesterday .

Yang [if you ever get to read this], I really, really appreciate your help and thank you very, very much! And thank you for the chocolate wafer too Love it!

7. Xiao Lan & Chris Tan

This two, simply makes me wanna cry =( ‘Cause Xiao Lan is a Pisces and Chris is an Aquarius and they are both best friends. Reminds me of Ee Jane [Aquarius] and I [Pisces]!

Xiao Lan is really, really helpful though I’m new and she’s a nice person to chat with as well! She is always calm and she have a very cool hairstyle! Xiao Lan have this ability to predict someone’s attitude and character by just looking at them And Chris have really lovely nails and it’s very easy to spot her around with her hairstyle .

8. Chee Seng

A very quiet boy but very nice to disturb! He started work on the same day as me and until today, I still don’t know his age -_-… Thanks for the umbrella yesterday!

So that’s all people about my friends at my working place. Don’t worry, I’m doing fine and having fun! Tomorrow’s a weekend and I’m sure we are all gonna be very busy busy busy!

Samantha

P/S: TMNET belum repair my Internet lagi. Cisssss! There will be lots of photo as soon as my Internet is okay again! Till then, goodbye!
