i feel like talking about a customer i met at fish and co. well he came 3 times in the past (from the time i started counting) mmmhmm. apparently, he looks like he is from CJC, and so as usual i asked:
"oh you from CJ?"
"No, why? you're from CJ?"
"Was from Cj. but you look like you're from Cj. So where're u from?"
"im from HwaChong"
"Oic"
and then i went to do my bill. the second time, i felt he looked familiar when i greeted him, and it was at table 52. he was with a lady who looked 25.
"Our soup of the day is blah blah blah... hmm. u look very familiar"
"were u the girl who asked me if im from CJ?"
"oh. oh ya. i think i remember you. oh so are u from Cj?"
"no, im from hwa chong. you? "
(well actually, i dont remember the rest. i think i told him i was in NP? cant remember) and then after eating, he asked for his bill. and he gave me the orange POSB card. its some pre-paid credit card thing, and you can get it only when you're over 18 or 21. cant remember. so then:
"oh. u have this card, how old are you?"
"im 23. you?"
"how old do i look?"
"hmm. 21?"
"errrrrrr. haha, ya alot of people think i look 21. im 17. actually, you look much younger than 23. u look.. 19"
"haha you dont look 17. (blah blah. cant remember)"
and then i gave him the receipt and he did something stupid la, cant remember wad. lol. i think he wanted to sign when i haven even given the bill or something, not sure. but then i remember it was stupid. so then he was like "omg, so embarrassing. haha sorry sorry" (very cutely. ) and so i started rememebering him alr. and then there was this fri night. i thinklast fri night, he came again. he was sitting at 15. i greeted him and his fren. apparently, i dint notice it was him, cos his fren came in first. halfway through my "our soup of the day is....." i realised it was him. so then, it was super awkward. cos he was looking at me, waiting for me to turn and realise its him. and then i gave the "oh-errmmm-shit-nervous-awkward" smile and said hi. and i waved. lol it was funny. then after my awkward hi and as i was walking away , i heard him tell his friend "she's kinda cute right".but he could be referring to his cat or whatever. last night or this morning, cant really recall, i was just thinking about the fact he dint come during the weekends. he was a random thought la. and then today afternoon, he came. and i dint feel nervous when i saw him. i just walked straight towards him and brought him in. and this time my "hi" was super friendly, like a regular customer kind of friendliness, but he looked awkward. after i finished my briefing, i just said like, "hmm, i remember you, you're from hwa chong right?" then said thank you and left, i think he was expecting me to chat. then after i turned, i immediately wanted to grab lone lone and tell her but damn it she was taking order for 13. so i was like shit shit, gonna burst out giggling already, then i went to the cashier and lo-and-behold, zayar was in the kitchen staring out from the hedge. so then i was damn excited and i just babbled to him, "omg omg. you know the super cute guy, the 23 year old one. ehh wait did i tell you? aiya nvm. now he's sitting at 57. omg very cute right?" and as i recall now, the funniest part was the fact that zayar was listening intently. so then by the end of the day, roche also knew. and walao, lone lone made it damn obvious cos she was staring and giggling, while i was being all normal and composed. TAMADEH. then they were making fun of me when he left, roche was saying like, you dont even know his name, and you keep repeating he's cute he's cute. i retaliated, "no, he's YiQian from HwaChong". oh before that, he half stood up to ask me for the bill. and so i sent it la, i dint even go like" hi, this is your bill. " i just put it straight in front of him. yupp and after i sent him the receipt and all, he asked, "so you're name is jana. " then i looked down at my tag. "ya. wads your name?"
"Yi Qian. one thousand , yiqian"
and i just became super slow la, i just dint register he was trying to tell me, like his name was in chinese, one thousand. so i just dumbly went "oh. erm ." so the he left, when he left, i was sanitizing wooden blocks. so i waved goodbye with my green cloth and said "thank you, hop to see you again. but i think i stumbled across the hope to see you again part. cos i meant it. wahahha. then they walked towards monsooon, maybe they went toilet, then he walked back. we waved again, then he disappeared as the escalator descended (melodrama. get the feel?) oh btw, lone said throughout the whole time he wa there, he kept looking for something. cos i was station C today and i wasnt really at A or B cos by then nothing much to halp, it was hard to spot me. then i was wiping cutlery bhind the pillar, he couldnt find me but i could see him, lol. so all in all, we only exchanged glances thrice. once when i was in station C, i looked out to 57 and he saw me. when he asked me for the bill, and when i was doing the bill for 34, he spotted me at the POS station then i look away like nothig happened.
ya okay thats the end of the story, will continue chapter 2. aiya but shit, im working very little next work and i got a feeling he will come. TAMADE. okay let us leave it to fate. eyecandy only.
zayar's leaving 1st sept,last time i'll be seeing him would be fri night. i think i will miss him, cos i think we've been feeling more comfortable recently. aiya so sad.
i think i hate yongmeng and he hates me too. basically since the start we were never that close, after i found out the colourful nature of his. today was the spark. he and anne were talking at the hedge, i pointed to the chips behind, indicating i wanted one. so then he took out a small pan, dropped it acidentally, then took a bowl, gave me all of it then put it onto the hedge. and the metal piece resounded with a "pong" quite loudly. he dint look happy. but anw, i said thank you, very very nicely, trust me. i was from drama club. so then i was eating. then table 17 calling, omg he shouted from inside the kitchen "17 calling!" it was super duper loud. if i can say someone is speaking loudly, it must mean it was damn loud. then i just exclaimed "wa damn loud". then i saw him look out and face otally black. maybe my tone seemed alil disrespectful, but it was a fact. then he walked out and when we exchanged glances, we both dint look away. there was ultra alot of tension. today was the spark, but the underlying issue about the fact we have mutual disdain and distrust hads been existant since before april. btw, he's the one im referring to when i said "look who's back. im really scared". i really dislike him for the fact he loves to 挑拨离间, 搬弄是非, and he is 狐假虎威. i hate him more than waiyip.and just now when i opened my bible, i said a breath prayer that God will bring me to where he wants me to read, i flipped to matthew 7. i think. but it was on the chapters of "love for enemies" and "judging others". sigh.
im really glad you're picking yourself up, and i will pray that God will give you strength and give u so much love, nothing else matters.
talking about God, i felt propelled to speak to tis customer at 56 about christianity today. i think i was meant to send a message to her?not really sure, but i told her i hoped she would read upabout christianity. both her kids are in ijtp btw.
im really thankful to God for giving me the friends i have now. vic, pat, wyncy, lina, lone, roche, classmates and even colleagues like zayar and zahtun. zahtun always brightens up my day, cos he's super silly, and zayar gives me inspiration, lol. i realised my life seems to circle around fish and co.it's really unhealthy u know. but... i guess i like it. but im sure i'll be working hard next sem, serious. u know i'll be really sad the day that zahthun and zayar find a full time job and quit. its really soon i think. zahthun in the next few months and zayar by mid next year i think. not sure. at least theres still lone for another year. oh we do have an agreemnt that when she graduates, which means about 1 half years later, we'll go to myanmar together. we shall see? i think i might miss yan naung when he leaves for good. though i dont thin about him already, sometimes when i dont see him for like a month, i just want to see him. not that i FEEL like seeeing him, i just WANT to see him. its psychological i think. did i talk about him this sunday? i think i ddint. well anw, he gave me his shift report slip that has the word "Naung" on it and gave it to me at the other side of the POS, cos apparently, we were fightitng for the same one and i lost. and he said "for you. so that you can see my name." so i went "i dont want your name" with the sarcastic look.
i realised got alot to say. okay lemme slowly type. im currently listening to CRADLE. shit. kay so when i arrived, i dint bother to say hi or look into the kitchen, though i could hear him singing, as usual. so then i just went and did my own stuff, until later, when he finally said "wha-tot-ma". then i turned and gave the super sracastic look. i remember he there was a ery cute action he did. he folded his arms and gave the rapping kind of bounce and the eyebrow up and down thing. he looked like a young kid. that was when i was saying my chain of burmese words "teck san, pasapeihtah, nga peingh" then he giving his sarcastic look. there was another scene, he was peeling carrots. i dint know wad came into me, but i just felt like saying this and i said it, just to get a funny look from him . "u know carrots used to be my favourite vegetable last time?" "erm. last time? why last time?" and then he gave the horny laugh. so i said "i know wad you're thinking". "haha, im just kidding. " well basically, he and thiha nyan just had fun chanting "wha-tot" the whole day. then before he left, i was in the bar doing the order cos cindy wasnt there, and he went and hit he top of my head and started lauging. so then i was like "awwwwh!" actually it wasnt pain la, i was just a little shocked. then ivy said something in burmese to him, then he said, "wa, couple already, so fast?" i was like :
"shit, omg, no!"
"tsk tsk. i thought u told me you were not gona be THAT again. tsk..."
"i was never THAT!" (very firmly) and then he just gave the i know what you are thinking look. oh, in case i havent updated, i did tell him about huajia. that remind me, roche was trying to tell ivy to give up cos im totally striaght. errr okay. apparently she doesnt know. oh last memory, i was doing sauces at the bar, he was in the bar playing with ivy, then he said to me
"you, take care of yourself. well, actually, you are getting slimmer"
"ya, and you are getting more and more kyar gu li."
"no, only once la."
" i thought you said thrice?" (i was tempted to say "plus lina 4 times", but i didnt)
"you still remember everything i say"
"ya i know you remember me too, thanks"
"ya when im eating like char siew and meaty stuff"
"im so important that you even remember me when you are eating"
and then i cant remember already. gotta go to tiong bahru, si min's house for mid-autum fest rehearsal at like 10.30. means i've to wake up by like 8.50. tamade.
this blog is gonna go on for 10 more yearsAmen.
