:D
I'm a bartender! Haha. I was working behind the bar since Tuesday and it's been fun yet a little stressful especially when the bar is crowded (Friday night! :///) For once Is(khandar) my mentor kinda shouted at me for forgetting stuff. Which sucks cos I was a lil nervous la. Haha. The orders just kept coming and I wasnt familiar with the concoctions so I felt pretty retarded. Kept passing the cocktail orders to Is while I simply pumped beers -.-" I sneaked a peek at my concoctions list when I took my classmates' orders when they came to visit tho heh. I made Jungle Juice (15ml Midori Melon Liquer, 15ml Malibu, 15ml Banana Liquer, 30ml Lime Juice and 60ml Pineapple Juice) for them! Mark talked to them and walked over to the bar and was like,
your classmates ask you to make anything which is sweet and nice. Chose JJ cos Midori and Malibu are supposedly really nice liquers (I didnt try but I heard they are!). Haha my boss Jimmy damn cute. He was like,
Whoa eh. Your classmates all very pretty ah! Hahaha of course Jimmy!
Gna work with the other Is the bartender during the night shifts next week. Then got a new bartender coming in next Monday who has zero experience (like me when I started). Mentor Is will be training him up too. I hope I'd be better since I started earlier! Hee. Budden I cant carry the kegs of beers. Damn. Mentor Is says that he wont allow me to do that so as to prevent any accidents since I'm a girl -.-" He says if we girls were to carry too heavy stuff our wombs may come out. Cos each keg of beer weighs about 43kg. Haha it's a really scary thought but oh well. I'm glad that theyre sensitive but I proved my physical strength by topping up the ice bin with buckets of ice and carry the supposedly heavy coffee machine up after breaking down the bar. I dont wna seem like a gu niang la.
Converting to a full-timer soon, hope my progress to become a full-fledged, all-knowing bartender will be faster! Still got so many things to learn like memorising all the cocktail concoctions and more background info on the alcohol served at Harry's.
I wna watch so many movies. Sky of Love, PS I Love You, Death Note trilogy and many more! No time to watch nowadays ): YiuYiu maybe we could gather the Zen/Choi Tribe for Sky of Love!
SUJU when are you coming to sunny South East Asia????
OK I think I'd better go. It's reaching 6am and I'm still up after work. I also dunno where my energy came from. Good night!

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY MY JADEY DEAR! (:
V Day this year was odd for me. Haha. I had work from 10am-6pm and I had a weird tummyache after having breakfast (bread with cheese. I think twas the blardie cheese's fault la ): ) I had the puking sensation for a few hours so it was rather dreadful. Felt better after drinking warm water. Then after lunch I had the puking sensation AGAIN. Almost cancelled on the movie outing with Deb, Krystal and Mumtaz cos I didnt feel very well but I felt bad cos then I'd pangseh them. So in the end I decided not to pangseh and caught Jumper with them. Luckily I felt OK for the rest of the night (: Didnt really like the ending of the movie though! Twas too abrupt. The company was nice though, Mumtaz's boyfriend came too, we made sure he did so that he could surprise her. LOL! Cos they didnt have any V Day plans initially and we were rather shocked to learn that. Reg and I folded hearts for our colleagues and gave em Hershey's kisses and stuck em on their lockers. Glad they were all surprised! Haha.
Siala, I really hope I become a full-fledged bartender at Harry's in the near future. I feel like I have that interest for bartending like I did for bowling. The wanting to know how to perfect that release, to get the feel of the ball roll and getting that sense of satisfaction after a strike. Same goes for bartending. The want to make that particular drink perfect and the satisfaction after making a good one and they compliment you or have that WOW look on their faces when they see a really cool looking drink with the layers of alcohol or that SIALA NICE LA look on their faces. Haha. I guess it's that passion and interest which dwells inside which makes me wna go further. If not I wouldnt have gave much of a bat of an eyelid to want to know how the bartenders make the drinks, the amounts of the different alcohol inside, blah blah and stuck to my waitressing. I guess I'm searching for a different sense of satisfaction at work now from waitressing to bartending.
I'm starting to like DBSK's Purple Line due to the really hot beat the song has (like Man In Love by Super Junior) and returning to English R&B. Lols. Whine Up is on replay lotsa lotsa lotsa times already (x
I found this really old vid of Super Junior (dated way back in October 2005) where they had a dance battle! It's really cool, I didnt recognise anybody at first. Lol. Heechul's the one with the ponytail, Donghae's the one with the blonde hair bouncing the most (haha (x ), Eunhyuk's on the left team, Siwon as well, Kibum and Sungmin's both in black, Kangin in the right team, Leeteuk did a b-boy move (he looks really cool here!), Hankyung must be the one who did the flip, Yesung in a black and white sleeveless top, Shindong in white with a cross necklace and the one in the sleeveless white hoodie I cant seem to tell who it is (Ryeowook since he's the only one not mentioned but I think he's shorter?). ENJOY! They're dancing to an English song, btw. Lol.
