Favor for Mythili, lead actress in drama shooting.
Role: Tomboy to a Perfect Woman (sounds familiar?) Exhausting but great experience. Ok, CUT!! ITS A WRAP!!!
And yet again, that month each year arrives. NOVEMBER. Dedication to da 3 Scorpios in da family.
To dearest Mommy and Sis, may we continue our tradition of endless bdays, with great health and enthusiasm in everything we do.
Love you people. More than ever.
Oh ya, my obvious endless celebrations:
#1 - Traditionally family dinner. #2 - Karaoke session with da ever-standing besties.
#3 - Cookie cake by CSC mates and Too-nice-looking-to-eat cupcakes by Lovely Dalilah
Yay! I'm a year older. Damn! My last teen year.
p/s: To all those endless bday surprise, bday wishes, presents and bla bla bla, am really grateful and hope that it doesn't end here. Hee. Oh well, cant help a girl from trying. So.. THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!!!
There's a point of time, when I knew we couldn't be where we are now.
And there was this time, when I'm sure I've lost you.
Though that tough time I faced, you kept my faith strong. Never have I imagine I could snuggle back up to you, and say how much you meant to me.
But this day came forth and at this point, I know my prayers were answered.
There's too much I need to thank you, hun. And, there's too much I'm sorry for all these years. Whatever it is, beyond doubt, you're the love of my life. I love you, honey.
2. Great colleagues. 3. Very comfortable work space. 4. Interesting environment. 5. Cheap, nice, range of food. 6. NO misuse of interns! (in fact, learnt alot da very 1st week)
Though a torturous journey each morning, I rather not complain. Oh well, I'll get use to it. Get used to all of it.. ..frequent formal dressing..
..freezing atmosphere..
..constant backache..
..bla bla bla..
p/s: but just to shout to some of you out dere, I don't care how much I'm paid nor do I care how great your place is, I'm feeling much better here and am ready to learn and gain experience. Hah!
So my papers are done. Exam ended. Hooray right? Umm.. well, industrial attachment next. No school break / holidays / wadever shit. Total sleeping pattern change. (Only sleep at 8 or 9 am and wake up just few hrs later!) Very confusing appetite. Reaching optimal level of going broke.
So, tell me. Where's da H-O-O-R-A-Y??
p/s: look at da time & I'm still up from da previous day! dammit.
Went MIA fer a while, yes true. Had some trouble with the immune again.
I'm clueless to why I kept falling sick. But this time, it hit me.
This time was drastic, never been this sick..
Fever shot really high for many many days!! Got dehydrated. Kept losing more weight.
Da truth: it's da stress and Im not coping well.
Boyfriend made too much noise telling how stubborn I could get. Maybe, it's true. Projects, then tests, and more projects, then exams. I tend to forget about my health. But hey, I didn't know I'm this weak.
Still, I was touched he took care of me every single day till I got better. Attention got from him was heart-warming. Thanks, love.
Well, I know my blog is catching up dust. So, update update, I will.
Shocking news for some of you...
I've officially RESIGNED from Starbucks.
End my barista journey. Period.
Honest reasons
1. Studies have been slipping. 2. Pressure shot up too high in everything I do. 3. It's time to put it to a stop.
My last words to SB-OR team.. Sorry for this drastic decision, but I had to do what I had to do. Keep on going and I wish da best of luck to all. Love you guys. Take care.
Oh well. Daddy pushed me into this. My first competition in years. Nostalgia singing competition. Ended up top 10. Good enough for me. Daddy and mommy say the're proud of me. Awww, I love them. Lots.

Escaping from FSRC hell, finally! Walking into the light.. OMG khad, are we dying?

Hmm. Oh yeah. Passed FTT. 1st-trial. Supposed to be like "yes-ah!", but nah, don't feel like it. What da fuck, ryt? I know.
Oh and, Hiddy got back from US. Got me lotsa stuff! He's da greatest! Have a quick rundown da checklist:
1. NYC Starbux City Mug
2. Oh-so-gorgeous RED (fav, dude! u rock big tym!) Coach Purse
3. a couple of VANS (siz n hiddy begins my addiction for shoez)
Thanks loads, da-bez-and-one-and-only-bro-in-law!! But, he's gone back there for a few more months. Be back soon, I guess.
Damn, there's so much to tell. Ok, will update on "happenings" da past weeks. For now, is juz it.
Mood was terrible today, seriously. But dear Hannah was there. So, as usual, with her crazy-and-no-better-things-to-do attitude, we decided to go on a mission.
Event: Mythili's bf introduced to da gang Mission: Spying on da lovebirds (suh-weet) Agent involves: Agent Hannah & Lia
Let da shots do da talking.
Hannah's da pro, no kidding.
Look at that sinister smile. Don't mess wif da walking stick!
Can't help to give this face.
Cuddle Wuddle Hannah eventually got disgusted.
Bcuz, she got da clearest view!
No matter how pro we were, eventually got caught. Reason: Too noisy while spying!
ok so yesterday, CSC-DBS got back our grades for the stopover.
yeah, like dammit, kinda disappointed. So be it, its B for me btw. Got strike off from A for the slightest mistake. Dammit I need that grade this round.
Kinda unexpected for some of those who does not deserve that grade. But what da hell. Suck up. Fake. (like bullshit!) Ever heard of split personality? hah. Some people are just fucking good at it.
so yeah, we took pics while waiting for individual evaluation.
Da anxious ones (especially hannah - da one near da dustbin - man, look at her face!)
Da emo ones (Ming Hao dozing off by da door?)
And, the coolest peeps you ever meet! (except, yah. ;P)
My apologies for no recent updates. ok. so I can't really remember what da hell I did da past weekend. All I can remember is... work. and work. and more work.
Guess what? A couple of my fav regular customers came to visit! Back at starbux-orchard point, they're one of our 1st customer. They're lovely and will I nvr forget their typical order:
And oh yeah. Reports have been filed, claiming a student to be sleepwalking in campus. Last seen, laying on the corridor. Pulse, still unsure. Zeb, are you still alive?
and so yeah, ex-csc played captain ball yesterday. the boys got down hot and sweaty. haha stay your mind on track! and then.... oh well, they decided to take a shower after da game. not wanting to stink up da whole room later on.
as expected, da guys forgot to bring any hair gel/wax. so, they came out from da shower, with flat, unstyled hair! hah, look cute on them. but da most cutest and different transformation goes to... no other than, MR. ZEB!
I had a good laugh at 1st but... I kinda like da look on him.
see for yourself (sorry zeb.. but i took da effort to edit this shot!)
Let's see. Been fucking busy with work and more work. Supposed to post the message for my CSC - DBS mates, which I relayed on the last day of DBS. So, here goes:
First of all, I would like to say thank you to each and one of you for making my journey in CSC DBS a fruitful and exciting experience. As some of you know, I had most of my troubles and downs in this current year and co-currently when attached at this stopover. Still, you guys have been there for me not only when I needed help at work but in smiles and tears as well. I’m very grateful and honoured to have friends like you because at some point I have longed to have this closeness that we all shared.
Teck Hua, thank you for all your handful massages during those days when I don’t feel well. It was really good and relieving!
Nicole, thank you for helping me out in reaching my targets the other time and stay pretty. Don’t worry; we are going to see again soon in FSRC.
Kian Boon, thank you for all the humor and innocence that you brought to CSC. Really crack me up all the time, being the famous DBS Mr. Bean!
Wee Leng, you have been there to help me with my targets too and your warmth in CSC always feels assuring. Especially fun when your true kinkyness-self came out!
Yin Xin, your silence and charm sometimes scares me but still, please stay cute and you’ll be adorable.
Huan Ling, thank you for helping me out in my targets as well and your determination strives me to call more, somehow.
Jie Jun, you were quiet most of the time but it was really nice to meet you and knowing you through this past weeks.
Li Ling, even though you look scary the first time I saw you, but you are actually sweet and funny too!
Khadijah, your boldness and gangster attitude makes me more fearless now that you are around me most of the time. Rock on, babe!
Rizwan, I know we had little disputes between us, but thank you for being there for me and those scandalous moments.
Ming Hao, thank you for lending your shoulder the other time and of course, the truths sharing!
Mythili, my indian girl, your smile and companionship has made my life in CSC very fun and enjoyable, that I thank you very much, sweet!!
Dinah, please stop dieting because you are slim enough and you look very pretty. You just have to smile and it will make someone’s day. Got that?!
Fiona, "potential-rock-chic-but-cannot-make-it-ha-ha-ha", you have been one of the best bitch to gossip, break rules and share problems with. Thank you, mortal love!
Zeb, thank you for making my day each day, literally. Making me smile and laugh with your really funny jokes. I’m still waiting to dance tango with you!
Hannah, the sound of your crutches makes me smile so wide because I know there’s someone who is there to cheer me on in times of need. I will miss your shrilling voice and your escargot too!
Dalilah, mummy of CSC DBS, my sister, my buddy, my guide. You’ve given me the biggest impact through my journey in CSC. You were there for me at all times without fail, checking up on me from time to time and always make sure I was fine. I really want to thank you for all this and I especially could not imagine without your presence and your laughter around.
To my team CSC DBS, thank you very much for giving me this chance to be my true self and a place for a sense of belonging. I love every single one of you guys and will not forget all the moments we shared together the past 10 weeks. From all the competitive charging towards targets, the games we played, the parties we had and even the outings we went. You guys have been the greatest friends! I’m sooooo going to miss you guys!
Last phrase from me: "Lia is OFFICIALLY PISSED... that CSC is over." (To whom it may concern: this line has been incorporated by Leia and no one else. Thank you for your cooperation.) So, yeah. That's about it. Rather touching. *tear* CSC DBS rock my world!
Its not that I'm SO pleased with my decision. I juz feel at ease, free, true.
This time round, I did alot of thinking. Whatever outcome it may be, I'm accepting it. No matter good or bad. For I wish all da bez to you. All I want to see and know is that, you are happy, redeem.
Even when you thought that I've forgotten about you all this time, I never have, I juz kept my fucking mouth shut. I just kept the feelings and memories we had alone to myself.
Clock might be ticking, I don't know. Please don't pity me, please don't worry about me. I'll find my way out somehow.
2 days back, on Sunday, da 4 of us, Moi, bro, sis and baby Din, finally went out together!
Destination: IMM
Purpose: Baby/Window shopping, Supper @ Secret Recipe (yes peeps, I didn't missed my meal!), Destress
Was damn tired that day actually after cuming back from work. But decided to go anyway, to relax and spent more time. Yes, more time wif bro and esp sis wif baby Din. Thanx to Hiddy's advice. Maybe, I need to focus more and appreciate what I have in front of me. Being close to them feels so assuring and comforting. Like what he said, it takes time. Even after 19 long years.
So, the outing didnt last that long bcuz it got late. But, no doubt I had fun and felt reclaimed.
OK well, last friday, ex-CSC mates, as usual tried to make everyday a learning journey as creative as possible.
This gang: ZEB, KASHIF(I)[ --> major culprits - Blood Brothers], Ming Hao and Mythili, being so creative that they decided to play some pranks, gotPUNK'ed! Zeb and Kashif acted out so fucking darn gd to fight with each other. Over a fucking minor reason: Zeb calling Kashif "S-H-I-F-I" the dog!
Started out to PUNK! Hannah. When revealed, she ran off forgetting her crutches! (again.) Not being satisfied, Hannah teamed up wif the gang to then PUNK! me!!
Damn. This time, I really fall for it.
Feeling totally disappointed at how easy Kashif gave up, somehow.
And thanx Zeb, for your hurtful Plz-don't-try-to-be-nice-to-me and Plz-leave-me-alone remarks.
Convinced by da way My scolded da Blood Brothers and Hannah trying to hide her confirm-abt-to-laugh face while trying to cry (which she did).
And getting pissed off by da way Ming Hao adding fuel into da fire.
Then, "Leia, you got PUNK'ed!!!" I was so overwhelmed. Had a rolled newspaper in my hand, getting ready to smack each and one of them. Can't control myself, so I broke down and cry, yes Leia cried!
These group of peeps are my besties. Seeing them fight and hating each other ticked me off. But even more hurtful, bcuz they meant alot to me.
Not being satisfied myself, I ganged up to PUNK! Fiona!! Hah! It was and felt great. And all those got PUNK'ed!, photos were taken. Again, damn!
Seriously, dunno wad da hell is happening in my StarBux store. Many had to leave the system, for some reason.
Some are great partners but had to prioritize other commitments. One has been my great lil' bro but did some stupid mistake. One has been my listening ear thru my probs. Then, there's one who has been wif me thru all thick and thins in the system.
Now, they are all going, left da 2 of us seniors standing. So, back to sq one, had to train more new partners. Somehow, demoralized. Getting dreadfully tired, long stretched hours. But, wadever. Still surviving.
To my be-gone beloved partners, Be cool, stay out of trouble, And you're missed by me, totally. No mistakes, no learning gained.
Some memories unfold.
2 down, 2 to go.
Batch mates, left me standing.
Esp dis ass, I'm gonna miz. My Rock Babe bitch, take care.
Oh hey, yeah da title says it all. Peeps have been pushing me for dis blog so here it goes.
Few reasons fer da existance of dis blog: 1. To kill time. 2. Get connected to my peeps. 3. Don't express much now, so this might be next place to scream. 4. And yeah, just for the fun of it!
Hope dis blog lasts though. Hah!
