Split Shift Happenings

Hello

Gosh I'm tired. xP But there were quite a few random happenings at work today! Haha.

Random Happening No. 1:
Some guy who ate a lot of stuff [salad, cheesy garlic bread AND prime rib] asked me where Geylang was. And when I pointed randomly in one direction he went, "So... I guess it's better if I take a taxi?" All I could do was go, "Yea that's a good idea!" -_-"

Random Happening No. 2:
2 old men came to the restaurant and asked for 1 steak each. Then they decided they had to SHARE so... They asked me to put half a steak on each plate. The chef was most amused and went to chat with them.=P

Random Happening No. 3:
I had several lovely customers today who were unfailingly polite and very nice.^_^ Why do they usually happen to be elderly Caucasian couples who find you charming when you beam at them?

Random Happening No. 4:
I always get nervous laughter from Caucasians when I introduce them to the huge amount of choice [just 4 really..] they get when they order a steak. Strangely enough, the Singaporeans are NEVER amused and glare at you before they answer brusquely. (T_T) Am I not friendly enough?!

Random Happening No. 5:
This guy finished an entire bottle of red wine on his own. He's supposed to be a regular I think.. And when he gets drunk he continuously flirts with his waitress. Which happens to be... Me. -_-" He kept asking for my number and I kept telling him that my number was hidden in the receipt in CODE. -_-" My retardedness never fails to amuse me. [On the otherhand, he actually believed me. Like. WHAT?!]

Random Happening No. 6:
A guy who ordered 3 glasses of red wine put ice cubes in his wine. I almost fainted when I realised what he was doing. O.o

Random Happening No. 7:
I finally finished one stack of order sheets after recycling like mad to save paper! =D [Lucky I didn't get confused from all the scribbles.O.o]

In other news..

I finished Tsubasa Book 16!!! OMYGOD HEARTBREAKING!!! (T_T) (T_T) (T_T) Why o why is CLAMP allowing Tsubasa to develop in such a manner!!! The LAST PAGE saved it all but still! (T_T) FAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please o please let good things happen in book 17!!!

Where is the angst and depressive storyline I was promised in Angel Sanctuary? And will the author QUIT coming up with such long and confusing and hard-to-read names?! -_-"

I hung around in Starbucks today... It's really really really noisy but the outlet next to Borders has good Raspberry Tea Frappucino! =D It was well blended and had enough flavour.=D I know I know.. By hanging out in Starbucks and Coffee Bean, I'm completely blowing a portion of my almost-non-existent-salary on this hanging-out-in-town-to-kill-time-between-shifts thing. But still, apart from the noise, it's a nice place to hang out/study/kill time/read manga when you're alone. ^_^

I also visited my favourite place along Orchard Road: Kinokuniya! =D Omygosh. The Arena 37C Special Vol 30 had GORGEOUS full page pictures of Gackt's concert!!! COMPLETELY TEMPTING. But the poster was not enough to move me into wanting it badly enough.=P

Now, regarding my anime:
- Next up! Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Season 2 =D =D =D
- I read that NANA the anime is going to follow the manga all the way to the end. Yippee!
- Code Geass has EXCITING developments!!! =D Lelouch finally discovers Suzaku's after-school activities!!! [Now.. That is more innocent than it sounds.-_-"] Kyaa! I can't wait to see how it affects their friendship...

cheers

[music : A little pain OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (TRAPNEST) + Shinwa RENTRER EN SOI + 絵夢~for my dear~ Gackt]
[mood : tired]
[food : BEEF!!! (T_T)]

Hmm.. All I need to do to renew my Gackt fandom [or rather.. strengthen it..-_-"] is to listen to 絵夢~for my dear~. It's such a beautiful song that's sung gorgeously well. *runs off to watch the live*

pixiezdust: Definitely! Saturday morning! No crowds, you're sure to get the magazine and you can browse all you want! =D

cch: I'm a Singaporean. I don't think I give BAD service. Haha. And no. It was a Singaporean who thanked me. I was in shock BECAUSE it was a Singaporean. The Caucasians usually thank you nicely. Unless they are grumpy men or hoity-toity women.xP
