Just heard a great quote from Criminal Minds:

"Scars remind us of where we've been; They don't have to dictate where we're going."

G.... C. D.

Simple simple chords.

Makes such a simple feeling a ten-fold.

Don't get what I'm talking about?

Six strings. It plays my heart.

I quit my restaurant job recently. I just think it's not worth it anymore. I mean... I'm 24 for god's sake... How long do I have to wait on tables for. It's just time for me to do something with my life. I've been careless. I've allowed myself to fall into a comfort zone. And by letting this happen, I let people take advantage of me.

Though I am still rather clueless as to what I should do now, I feel better in a way. Weird, I know. But hell, I am the definition of weird. I would love to plan my life, but I love doing things spontaneously more. Sure, this is life. Life is hard. Life's a bitch.

I say life's too short.

Yes, of course I have to be financially stable and all. But I am a Psychology & Marketing major. It's like unconsciously I wanted to be mentally troubled and be forever stressed. If I wanted a more "normal" life which included a 9 to 5 job in a cubicle for the rest of my life (though never having to worry about money), I would've studied accounting. Both my parents are bankers... go figure.

I am the black sheep of not only my family. Compare me with the rest of my cousins, uncles, aunts... I am the only one who stands out. I think I would actually disappoint them if I got a 9 to 5 job, got married and have kids. Instead of "Wow, you're doing bla bla bla in Australia?!" I'd get "Oh, that's... good. (awkward silence) How's the weather there?". Hehehe...

I used to hate being different. Now I'm loving every single bit of it.

Does she know?

bits and pieces

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:24:00 +0000

I've been thinking recently, what am I doing with my life? I've been working for almost 2 years now with the same old boring so-called-marketing job and of course with the usual waitressing shit. I hate to admit it but I'm getting tired. What to do... getting old la can?

What do I have to show for this 2 years after graduation? In fact, what do I really have after 23 years of being alive?

I seriously can't think of anything.

But hey, things should get better right? I'm too young for a mid life crisis, if this is one, doesn't that mean that my life expectancy is only at 56 years? Gosh, I AM thinking too much...

But as clueless as I am right now, I am rather happy. I've got a "stable" job, I have the qualifications, I enjoy my bubble tea & coffee with friends, the ~~occasional~~ routine clubbing and hell, I've got a gorgeous girl to call mine.

I guess I just need a little more time to figure out what I can really do with myself. Too many issues at once nowadays... mainly financial issues. So many plans, so little money...

Well, life's unfair, I've already accepted that LOL.

Anyways, a little bit of advertisement here: G.rabit's new arrivals are in! New pics are at the blog, do visit it and become a fan of it on Facebook.

Yeap, I've got a little business venture going on =)

It's a lovely Sunday morning and Sam just woke up and was making breakfast.
Here's what happened:
Me: *sees an egg in a bowl of water* "Is that a half-boiled egg?"
Sam: "No, it's a FULL-boiled egg"
Me: *blink blink* "Don't you mean HARD-boiled egg?"

I actually did think a lot before I decided to write this. Because I have to consider the feelings of 2 people. 1 who is very important, the other, I really don't give a rat's arse but it will affect the one who is important.

If you really care about her, really love her like how you've said in the past, present and in the potential future, you should know how she thinks and how she feels.

You've just become insensitive and really just emotionally rash in whatever you've done. You think by sending her that sms today would make yourself feel better? I know you're now wallowing in guilt and wishing you could just crawl into a ball and die.

But then again, you could've wanted to do that just so that you MIGHT get SOME kind of attention from her.

Guess what boy, grow a pair of balls and man up. I'm more than a man than you will ever be. (Now, THAT is a personal attack direct to you.)

it's a funny thing

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:22:00 +0000

Everything really does happen for a reason. If there really is a God, then I finally understand why I went through the things I did.

Sometimes, God sends people who are clearly wrong for you, bad for you even. But there is always a reason behind it all. I can truly see it now.

He sent someone who was just an introduction to love for me, then there was the one who was so important that I couldn't breathe without her. And just because I couldn't breathe, He took her away to teach me that I can indeed stand on my own 2 feet. And she taught me that even if 2 people were in love, it doesn't mean that they must be together.

Then there was the one where I had to hide in the shadows with, I'm surprised I lasted that long. But I learned that I could make a difference in other people's lives and even help them to be a better person. Along came the not-right-for-you-but-you-are-just-desperate-enough-to-accept. I don't think I need to explain that now, do I?

The one who really seemed like THE ONE came along. I learned that when I am blind, I'm not only blind, but crazy even. The one who made me throw everything aside but somehow I knew it would just end. I just refused to accept it.

Then it all went downhill. I lost hope. I couldn't care anymore thus resulting in 2 disastrous ones. One worse off by a mile than the other. And I am just too tired to give anything a try anymore.

Then now.

Now.

Now I realized why I met all those people. And why I had to go through everything.

God purposely sent me all the wrong and seemed-to-be-right-but-were-wrong people because he wanted me to recognize the right one when I see her.

Guess what, she's perfect =)

if you could only see in the mirror...

Slow down girl your not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I am much more you never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone anything I promise I can be what you need.

Blur case housemate

This is what makes living with such blur housemates fun:

Sam: *knocks on my room door* Vern!
Me: *opens my room door* Yes?
Sam: Are you in the toilet? *points at the toilet door*
Me: *blink blink*

No?

Customers Say the Darnest Things

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Fri, 01 May 2009 16:10:00 +0000

This conversation took place while I was working. A customer walked in with her family, her husband and 2 kids.

As per normal, I greeted them and asked the first question that we're supposed to ask: "Would you like to go on the sushi train (kaiten belt/revolving conveyor belt/turn turn sushi/Japanese merry-go-round/whatever-the-fuck-you-wanna-call-dishes-going-round-and-round-on-a-moving-belt)?"

Her husband wanted to give it a try but the wife gave me a very skeptical and concerned look. And then she asked "Are the sushi fresh?"

I told her yes because it was about 6pm and the chefs were preparing the lot for the dinner crowd.

Then she added "I want really fresh sushi, like cold ones."

In my head I went "WTF?!?!?!?!?!" but my mouth just went "Huh?"

Luckily the husband came to the rescue and said "Honey, fresh sushi is warm, if it's cold it means it has been sitting in the fridge."

OMG, I tried so so so so so so so so so hard not to laugh in her face. ARE YOU STUPID WOMAN?!?!?! DO YOU KNOW HOW SUSHI IS MADE?!?!?!?!?!

HOW CAN FRESH SUSHI BE COLD!??!?!!?!

You don't exactly cook rice using a fridge, dip the nori (seaweed) into ice water and freeze every single goddamned ingredient before rolling it!!!

Yes yes, I know. I'm mean. But hey, this shows that customer service is sooooooooooooo not the field for me.

But it is funny how when a customer walks in and we start shouting "IRASHAIMASE!" ("welcome" in Japanese) and the whole restaurant staff chimes in. That's not the funny part. What's funny is that sometimes when we see that there are no Asians in the shop, one of us (usually my MANAGER) would yell out "DIU LEI LOU MOU" instead.

For those who don't know Cantonese, go ask a friend who does XD

The Impossible Has Happened?

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 05:26:00 +0000

Saw this piece of news and I'm rather shocked.

McDonalds losing a lawsuit over the use of the prefix "Mc" in MALAYSIA!

The defendant: McCurry.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, am I the only one who finds this amusing?

Let me explain okay? The judge who overruled McDonalds was Judge Gopal Sri Ram. McDonalds is such a huge ass corporation that you'd they they'd try to at least bribe the judge right? But noooooooo... They lost.

And what was the defendant's defense? McCurry stands for Malaysian Chicken Curry.

ROFL!!!!! No wonder McDonalds couldn't bribe the judge, HE LOVED CURRY TOO MUCH!!!

Okay, lame, I know. Don't read this post then!

Haha! Too late! =P

MIA

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:37:00 +0000

Sorry I've been MIA for so long. Been rather busy with work, I'm dead exhausted by the time I'm home. Project365 can no longer carry on because I can barely lift my baby Alpha anymore =(

Anyways, to entertain you guys, I shall be blogging about my experiences working in ZushiBento Carousel.

Top 3 Things I Learned in ZB:

3. Hungry customers are not nice people. Seriously woman, if another table got up and went towards the sushi train and SAT DOWN even before I could do anything, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO??? Sure, the customers changed their mind, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THAT?!?!?! CAN YOU TELL ME?!?!?! If that's not bad enough, the husband was complaining about waiting so long, I said there's a table ready, I just need 2 minutes to clear it and they can have it to their heart's content. OMG, JUST 2 MINUTES YOU FUCKING AUSTRALIAN RETARDED REDNECK! He just went on and on and on and on about having waited so long. Excuse me, I need 2 minutes to clean the table FOR YOU. Or if you'd rather stand there and complain to me for 2 minutes, be my guest, don't fucking blame me if someone gets the table AGAIN.

2. People in Perth don't bother reading. ESPECIALLY ASIANS! OMG, not like I don't wanna help my own race, but seriously, there's a HUGE ASS SIGN that says "PLEASE WAIT TO BE SEATED, THANK YOU". I mean, you can see that the place is already small enough, SO WHY DO YOU WANNA CROWD IN THE SMALL WALKWAY?!?!?! I know, kiasu ma...

1. Younger Asian women who appear with older Caucasian guys think that they're better than everyone else. With their branded bags and noses so high up in the air, they forget that people just see them as an Asian whore. What? I'm being mean? Come deal with one of these women THEN talk to me. Kthxbai.

I know, I'm actually ranting in this note, but hey, feels gooooooooooooooooooooooood to do so ;)

'twas a full moon last night.

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 16:39:00 +0000

Things couldn't have gotten any worse today. It was truly, truly, TRULY fucked up.

I really had a fucked up day.

But a good evening. Nothing clears my head better than to lie down & forget the world with beautiful views of the city. And not forgetting great company =)

Thanks for being there for me.

あなたにも、ありがとうね。。。

of guitars and lonely notes.

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 13:57:00 +0000

Been fiddling with my guitar more than usual. But still not to the point where my fingers bleed, they're just really really sore. LOL.

Considering getting another one, maybe an Epiphone. Yes, still in love with LP after all these years. What can I say?

Updates on Project365:

Veron =)
I miss this woman.

Sake
It was... different. Nice, just different.

Soft shell crab.
Love love love!

Teppanyaki Beef
Not so good.

Yeap, had dinner at this Japanese place called Yoshiya in the city. Overpriced and seriously, not as good as I thought it would be. Shall stick to Matsuri next time.

Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today,
It's been 7 months and counting, you've moved on...
I still feel exactly the same.

anonymous numbers.

noreply@blogger.com (-R·K-) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:14:00 +0000

Got this idea from Facebook.

The things I want to tell a few people but do not have the guts to. I think they should know who they are.

1. You're my first love and you will always have a special place in my heart but I can't just pick up where we left off because my heart is no longer there. Even if it was, it's broken.

2. It all happened so fast and I can barely remember what happened but I'm glad we're still friends. I hope Jun Xi grows up to be a good man unlike his father.

3. You were a rebound. I'm sorry.

4. Two words, drunken mistake.

5. You didn't just break my heart, you stomped on it, spit on it and left it in a corner to be forgotten. But you taught me a lot about relationships and I want to thank you for helping make me the person I am now.

6. I think I screwed up your head and emotions a little too much but I think everything worked out fine.

7. You made me realize that I appear in people's lives for a reason and I'm glad you finally stood up and said "No" for a change. I just wished it wasn't said to me.

8. There's no reason, I just do.

like out of my body but still alive
bleeding but still beating.

If I can love you this much so far away, imagine what I could be if you felt the same way =)

i must be crazy to fall for you,
to fall after only seeing you twice,
you stole my heart that day,
and every single time you look my way.

I swear that if I can see you everyday, I will fall in love 365 times in a year... every single time, with you.

i can't sleep, i think of how you are,
if you're happy, if you're wishing on a star,
i would make a wish, a wish for you,
that she would love you, more than i do.

Delays in Project365. I'm just way too tired to snap anything now. What I wouldn't give for a beer... LOL.
