boo, why my font always so small wann...!

OH SHITTTT!!! put the wrong size for all my pics! so you have to zoom in if you wanna see properly! so sorry, jsut realised AFTER i finished blogging :S


why hello ppl, i'm back to blogging after god-knows-how-long! :) been crazily busy, and this is the first time in ages that ive decided to just lay back, chill..

AND BE RANDOM, just because! ;D

working at starbucks is really an amazing experience! i really do enjoy working there (if only i wasnt that worried bout my schoolwork! argh!). my colleagues are nice and friendly (except one/two whom i think are a bit... off), its not very tiring, i get to talk to customers, i get free food and drinks, i get paid..

AHH! if only my contract was 12hours, that would be purr-fect-to!


your barista-to-be! :)
this was before my interview!


haha, my camera skills, good right!


the day before my interview, 19th oct 07, was invited by norman for a sunway get together at his place! love his place lar! met up with xander there, his hair was long and curly omg! hhaha!

had fun catching up with them actually! by the time we went back, it was sooo late that the road was deserted. and i made ttt do this
.

ahhh, norman and xander were so sweet! they gave me xmas pressies!


first ever xmas pressies + card!

anyways, back to my job! apparently, starbucks holds their annual xmas party in jan (maybe cos xmas is like peak period for them to earn more profit?). so lucky me, get to go for it just after 2 weeks of working :p

thought it was gonna be some grand thing, cos it was at the dixie queen- a boat party along thames! even checked it up beforehand okay, and that made me expected more actually! you see for yourself, like quite high class right!

off i went, expecting a good meal.. mana tau, the food served were cold (!!!!) but still quite good for me la :P and it was basically like a clubbing event! argh! i want good food not dancing!


oh crap, forgot the name of the bridge!

it was quite enjoyable nonetheless! one thing i noticed tho: you know how when we jsut started uni, everyone will ask like which country you from etc; at the boat party, when we meet new ppl, we'll go "oh so which store do you work at?" haha!! funny yeah?

introducing...


ronnie, my asst. store manager!
such a lovely guy, sweet talk quite a bit tho! hehe.


ambrogrio - supervisor!
he has gotta be the most patient guy i know man, when i make mistakes or anything, he'll be ever so considerate and kind!

quite got "attitude" too- when we were seating down i asked him "not checking any girls out?", he went "oh i dont find them, they come to me".

when i heard that, i was like whoa! ahaha. suddenly so manly! :P but at the same time i thought he was gay (really, womans intuition!!) cos he kept hanging out with this other guy ;S


me, roonie, natalie!
natalies a newbie like me! shes damn funny, married at 28, but still wanna stay single! hahah!

not smoking and never will in my life!

had quite a long chat with him, bout relationships and stuff, of all things! hahah. he was like "you know, must choose a guy properly, dont only have fun etc!"


this mounir is such a flirt! randomly talk to girls one! like this girl, she jsut randomly came up and took a pic of us, so in exchange i took a pic with her as well! :P

ahhh, what a horrible day..

世界太罗唆 能不能够放空 失踪

是谁在我的背后说什么 好像又没说

一颗心总被你悬在半空中 难受

可是你又迟迟不说爱我

没有你 我发现自己 无法感动

是否 当身边的人都变成观众 我该做作

Oh you are the sunshine in my life

But I don't really know

需要你的时候 感受你的温柔 能不能勇敢说爱

关掉你的眼睛 你的鼻和口 say no

如果你也能放下所有 请你点点头

我的心只为你一个人跳动 心痛

可你还能为我改变什么

也许到最后 你还是要走

all i can do is to wait, for wednesday the 23rd of january..

xoxo, yvonne.

* just a day, just an.. ordinary day.. *

the song by avril lavigne just suddenly came to my mind :P

i just read my sisters blog! it was her birthday on the 11th, and from whats on her blog, i can feel that she was really happy that day.

and that alone made me feel good :) feeling happy now! hahah, kinda weird right? but now i finally get the meaning of "feeling happy because your loved ones feels happy"!

ahh, the truth of life!

and i can't believe that im actually not tired now! i slept at almost 5 yesterday, woke up at 10, worked from 12 to 6, dinner and then laundry from 10-12, then the cover letter for morgan stanley..

hmm, no wonder im not feeling tired! cos i didnt really study today omg!! NOOOOOO!!!!! :(

***
i've been meaning to blog this some time ago- it has always been on my mind.. sometimes, i feel as tho i am in THE rat race my whole life.. like everything i do, its always for the future you know?

getting good grades for upsr and pmr, thats fine.. of course you would want good results right? well, at least i do!

then comes spm and alevels, only that this time it isnt only for my own satisfaction. i actually NEED the results so that i can enter some good uni so that i'll have a better career prospects..

right.. so okay, here i am at lse. the place ive always wanted to go.. uni life should be stress free yeah?

but noooo, now, as first years, we need to be active in societies, get good grades AND secure spring (then summer) internships to improve chances of being employed by the big firms in london..

and i have a feeling that IF i ever get employed, the only next thing to do is to climb the corporate ladder, which leads to earning more money, getting a promotion etc..

do you see the pointlessness??

maybe i just expect a lot from myself. i refuse to accept anything less.

as a good friend pointed out, i always seem to feel unsatisfied with myself, or the things i have. take the job at starbucks for example. before getting the job, i was like i WANT it i dont care!! then after getting it, i kept thinking of the negative side of working part time ie not enough time for studies/socialize etc.

...

...

okay, ive confused myself now. haha!

and another thing i would like to point out- why is it that we only learn to appreciate our family when we grow up (for me its after sec3) ? so my parents and sis got my respect, love and appreciation for like 3 years, and then off i go to london.. if all goes well, i plan to work in london for a few year, and i believe then i would be darn busy with my career and everything.

sounds good right? but its not! cos i wont be seeing my family often if im gonna work here...

i cant be a filial daughter and talk and accompany my parents everyday.. i cant get to know my sister more cos by then we'll both have stayed apart for a long time.. i cant see my aunties, relatives and friends who mean hell lot to me..

i guess the main thing im worried about is, what if something happens??

i want to spend quality time with my family, esp my parents when they're still strong and healthy.. i want to see my sister grow up to become someone i'll be proud of.. i want to have fun with my aunties and uncles.. i want to be part of my friends joy/sadness..

what if, after all these years, i come back... to nothing?

which brings us back to my point.. why bother studying overseas/being in the rat race then, if you cant enjoy things which matters the most to you?

things to ponder on...

if you think the way i think you think,

and feel the way i feel you feel,

then despite everything,

i am blessed.

and this is only the beginning of all beginnings :)

*
Dealova
by Once

aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah dalam tidurmu
aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg mungkin bisa kau rindu
karena langkah merapuh tanpa dirimu
oh karena hati tlah letih

aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg selalu bisa kau sentuh
aku ingin kau tahu bahwa ku selalu memujamu
tanpamu sepinya waktu merantai hati
oh bayangmu seakan-akan

reff: kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
yg memanggil rinduku padamu
seperti udara yg kuhela kau selalu ada

hanya dirimu yg bisa membuatku tenang
tanpa dirimu aku merasa hilang
dan sepi, dan sepi

selalu ada, kau selalu ada
selalu ada, kau selalu ada


xoxo, yvonne.
