Lynn: Yes, sucks to be them. And looking at the way they were going, it would have taken them half the night just trying to get back on track, hah! When confronting people like that I learned to be a snob too. An educated snob.
I've told Big Sister that I can only work 3 days starting April til July because I have to concentrate on my thesis. I'm already going at a one chapter per week mode. Considering I worked 4 days I say I'm quite awesome!
Self-gloating aside, I am praying/hoping that I can finish 80% of the thesis before the fasting month. So at least by August I can go back to working 5 days. My financials are getting weak T_T. But whatever it is I am determined to go on the snorkelling trip to Redang this year! I've been saying next year, next year, and I never got there. Can't wait for people. If you want something, you've got to make it happen yourself I say. Just like how I wanna make myself a millionaire. xD
So today was Earth Hour. Since KLCC is participating, so is Kinokuniya. I looked forward to it until I heard that while we turn off the unnecessary spotlights in the store, some of the lights inside the pantry and logistics area are going to be off too. AND I WAS SENT INSIDE FOR WRAPPING! I didn't wanna spend wrapping in the dark! So I wrapped like mad, having given the task of completing two trolleys of comics to finish by tonight. Under normal circumstances, I am lucky to be able to cut and shrink one whole trolley and maybe just cut the other trolley. But because some of the logistics staff were staying back for OT, they helped me cut while I just focused on shrinking. The result: 2 complete trolleys a minute before Earth hour! 'I' have done the impossible!
Actually, I've managed to pull off these 'miracles' mostly because I had to bribe or ask for favor or had help from other part-timers/logistic staff/anyone I can get my hands on i.e. cleaners. But of course, Big Sister and other superiors do not need to know this xD. It's not possible for other people to achieve this because they do not have the resources (persuasion techniques) I have xD. Of course, the bad news is, when they next assign me a similar task and I couldn't achieve due to lack of resources i.e people to extort, my stock went down and I was labeled slow again.
But never mind! I am awesome. Awesome people can always find ways to thrive!
Okay, I'm sleepy. Night!
Ta'ra!

Wasn't Me, Honest!
Last night, when I was on the bus on my way home from work, a couple of girls (probably Finnish, if not then just Scandinavian) asked me about how to get to Jalan Tong Shin as the bus was on its way to Bukit Bintang. I told her I was more or less going the same way so I'll just show them. Actually, only one of the girl approached me. Her friend just stuck up her nose and pretended she didn't see me. Pfft. Snob.
So we got off the bus at the station not far from Istana Hotel. I told her to go down that road *points to Jalan Nagasari right beside the hotel* and - before I even finished explaining, she interrupted me to point out where we were on the map. Her friend was already some ways away, staying away as if I had a contagious disease. The map was upside down and it took me a while to point out where we were, but then again I neglected to inform her EXACTLY where we were, because WE WERE GOING THE SAME WAY SO JUST FOLLOW ME DAMNIT I WON'T MUG YOU AND I WON'T ASK FOR MONEY RAWR!
But of course, I politely said that I was going the same way but she insisted that I pointed her out in the map. Our exact location was actually off the map, and again I showed her the route to Jalan Tong Shin. After that she said Thank you! AND WENT OFF A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION!
I wanted to call out to her, but her friend was already on the pavement directly across from Istana Hotel and I stood there for a while, watching as they made their way to Pavilion. I sighed inwardly, worried and insulted and just shook my head. Well, snobs lose their way. I hope they get horribly lost!
Seriously, what was with that fiend's attitude!? Do I look so impoverished that I need to stick with them and asked for money? SERIOUSLY!? MY BAG IS WORTH 500 RINGGIT (before discount) OKAY?!
This isn't the first time I got asked for directions, living in the tourist district and all. Just this weekend, a couple of middle-aged American women asked me for directions too. They came to the bookstore looking for maps and although they did buy a map, I drew them a map to Jalan Alor because they wanted to eat some hawker foods. And I drew the map all the way from KLCC to Jalan Alor. Ppfft! I even taught them how to get a cab from KLCC. Mind you, even locals don't know that!
I'm so proud of myself. xD
Anyway, we still have five sushi charm bracelet for sale over at our Snackellery Blog, plus a liquid clay review! PLEASE (I beg you) check it out!

Sorry But, I really DO Understand
I am suddenly hit with a big realization today.
You may not really know a person you think you really know.
Yes, I know people are allowed to have their own secrets. And they are not too proud of it/ don't want to disappoint you/ just don't want you to know. I would like to believe they are things that I don't want people to know too.
I don't know when it started that I aim to live my life like an open secret. I made it a habit to tell only the truth, and be as honest as I can. I had a 'if I can't be honest, then I won't say anything' policy. It made me realize that I don't have to hide my desires from people, and people can like it or dislike it - it's their choice, not mine - , and ultimately once I said it aloud, I also made sure that I wasn't doing stupid that I'll regret. Life is too short to live with regret.
But I suppose people have desires...that they think are not so...accepted.
It hurts to think that maybe it's not really them, but you, who have cut off that part of your communication with them. It's not blind-siding. It's simply...never came up.
But I can't help it if I'm too boring/traditional/conservative/not daring enough/risk-taking/ not open-minded/ othersocialcrappeoplethinkiscool. I just believed that I have chosen to live by these values, this lifestyle and all that comes with it, as long as I still believe in it and it is good to me and doesn't harm other people. This. Is. Me. Therefore, I am.
I took a stand, and I'm standing by it.
I know not everyone can live like this, to believe in something so religiously that it's suffocating. It's not. I don't believe in wasting your youth on something that 'other youths were doing' like smoking, taking drugs, having sex with strangers, just because you can get away with it when you're young. I believe there are other things worth doing while you are young and beautiful and healthy.
Submitting to the 'norm' like that...and surrendering your own identity. No, it's not called being what you always wanted to be. It is giving up control. Nothing more, nothing less. Call it whatever the crap you want. I've lost respect for you.
Ta'ra.
p/s the person I am implying did not do anything as extreme as I mentioned above. But she might as well, bcause I've lost my respect for her for the time being.

Happy Things
I thought it'd be bad leaving such a sad (literally) post as my latest entry for too long. So here's something different. Thank you for the two guys who left the comments. Check them out if you're so inclined, my dear readers (I know a low of you guys don't admit that you read my blog, but that's okay hehehe).
And to proof that not all men I met are weird, just the other day, as I left work early I went to Choc Boutique at the concourse floor of KLCC to get myself a Bourneville almond choco bar FINALLY, I have had to stay away from this guilty pleasure for too long due to my post-chicken pox pantang. Ever since then I've had at least one whole chocolate bar a day. Anyway, back to my visit to the Choc Boutique.
So as I was paying, the manager was at the counter, counting the day's sale. He looked down at me (it was a raised counter), and asked if I live at *name of apartment*. I said yes, and made an exagerrated surprised reaction, as I just realized I was giving this information to a stranger. So I asked him how he knew. He said he lived in the same building and reminded me that he met "you and abang" (I clarified that that was my father and his name is also Abang (meaning brother in Malay), although I wasnt sure if he introduced himself that night, and when he does, he always introduces himself as Abang or sometimes Rahman) in the lift and he lived on the 13th floor below us. It took me a minute to remember who he was, and if I wasn't mistaken he was Bangladeshi/Myanmar/Pakistan or something to that effect and has been living in the country for 8 years, working for Famous Amos's chocolate division. Turned out he manages the Choc Boutique chain belonging to Famous Amos. And I thought he just supplies Famous Amos with chocolates!
I told him I work at Kinokuniya and then he gave me a free box of Almond Tuiles! Whee! I didn't take a picture of it, but here's one I found online.
Source A Vietnamese site...
I was so happy because I was so hungry and the day was boring and crap, only to have a free snack at the end of the day! Life is fair again! xD
And here I thought I only attract weird men.
So anyway, what would YOU do if something like THIS crawled up your leg?
And not just one, but two of them? Would you...
a) Relocate it to somewhere safe like outside
b) Relocate it from your leg to the floor then squish it
c) Relocate it from your leg to the floor then jazz it with a cow prod
Someone actually got one on his leg, slapped it to the floor and accidently squished it (eew). The second one got away, photographed and went about safely outside. But seriously, IT'S ONE HUMONGOUS SPIDER! D: If it were me, I'd screamed, kick my legs and head straight for the broom.
It's called a huntsman spider, and is apparently quite common in Australia. *shudders*
On to something more commercial. Snackellery finally has its own blog! YAY! I have post up five bracelets up for sale in Malaysian Ringgit only. There are only five of these sushi charm bracelets for now, so if you want, better grab them quick! I don't know when I'll have time to make anymore soon. Here's a sample.
They basically look like this, all 92.5 Malaysian silver; the best grade of silver around, quality assured. And look, even Balthier approves!!
He is Snackellery's exclusive model, and he even has some things to say about it! So, be sure to check out the Snackellery blog and err, buy stuff!
Ta'ra!

It's Sad
It's sad but there are pretty girls and there are those who attracts only weird men.
I am the latter. Sadly. T_T I cannot act girly or even dress any girlier than I could stand. I like dressing up all girly once in a while, but normally only during special occasions. When I do dress up like that, I attract the attention of weird men; security guards, bus drivers, bell boys, strangers on the streets, shady foreigners.
That's why I dress down, and looked a little immature if I have to. Security purposes you see. And that is why I will not be like one of those pretty girly girls. It doesn't matter if they have only half a brain, or takes advantage of men - and those bastards know it - they are happy just to be SEEN walking with these girls.
That's why I'll die alone with my ten cats someday.
Ta'ra.

Not Complaining
I'm not complaining! I am NOT! I am really just ranting on the only outlet I have - my blog! And this needs repeating; I am not complaining!
Is it a social norm or something that juniors need to respect and obey seniors at all times regardless of how much such seniors do not deserve respect and obidience?? Fortunately there are no such people in my unit so that's fine.
But what about your slightly superior junior? Are they supposed to respect you too, even though you're hierarchically lower than they are? Shit I know part-timers are at the bottom of the rung, and I am fine with it. But some people kept forgetting that we are here to help and lighten your load, not to be ordered around as you please! If you're still stupid and don't understand, it means that while we do our job, you still have to do yours!! And not just give excuses about it! Rawr!
Why do I say this? Because I know my place. And my place is not to order people around. BUT! If you tell me you'll handle it and let me handle other things and when I come back and not a single thing has been done, am I not allowed to be pissed!?
And when I am pissed I tend to order you around! And I hate doing it! It's your fucking problem that I need to take care of while all you do is spout more fucking excuses! And just because you're slightly superior you think you can order me around like those seniors? Even those seniors don't order me around! Rawr!
And last night I defied this stupid person and he dared tried to reprimand me!? Who the fuck do you think you are? I do not take orders from you. I repeat. I DO NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY HAVE AUTHORITY JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL-TIMERS!
If you want my respect then earn it. Dumbass.

My Darling in a Box!
*SQUEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLLL* If it's not obvious already, I am a Balthier fangirl. He's so hot and he has an accent! Last Monday I finally made him mine - officially!!
Final Fantasy XII Balthier figuriiine!!! I never noticed this figurine before. It was when a customer asked to view the figurines in the glass case of figurines that I finally looked up to the top shelf and noticed My Darling for the first time. I was shocked that he's been there all these times and I never noticed him! GASP!
Since then I entered a dilemma. After confirming there's staff purchase available for figurines, I immediately put him under reservation. And now HE'S MINE, MINE, MIIINE!!! YAAAAY!!
I washed my hands before opening the box, and changed his hands so he could hold his gun the Ras Algethi. Even the gun has a hot name hehehe. And of course, camwhored him.
Back view. A snap of his hot ass. I forgot the flash.
And of course, my new phone background picture hehehe. Oh he's so hot. Watashiwa-san, he should meet up with your Vince and they could go on a date together. xD
