Getting Through The Week


WARNING :
Not for the 'weak hearted'. It's a IMAGE HEAVY POST!! XD

Saturday

I'm on noon shift. Before work, I rushed to get my girl some fish porridge near K&Y since she was suffering from some stomach problem, poor her..
Did the normal thing, ironed the new promo tees and served customers. During break time, I went to My Coffee Cafe (it's the row of shophouses behind JR). Had my usual order, fried rice with salted fish, economical and tasty =)
 

I was looking so forward to Earth Hour!


However, when the time approaches, we did not manage to off the light *sighing*
Felt a little upset for not being able to participate in this moment. As far as I could see, only Mango and Nike off the lights.


 (saw anything?)

 (at least Mango off more than half of the lights)

Sunday
 
It's morning shift for me. And also, my LAST DAY of WORKING at QUIKSILVER . Did the cleaning chores, I chose to sweep the whole store. As I was doing that, I swept something..


 Now, here's a clearer look..


Break time was rather a satisfying one, hehe.. KFC!! Bon apetite!! Never had it for quite some time, missing all the crunchiness!! *mouth waters*


Ariff was having his off day but he came to visit and do some shopping with his girl.

 
(took this without his awareness, kekeke..) 

Before I left, everyone bid farewell to me. Kak Nik gave me a hug *warmness*
At that moment, I felt reluctant to leave, they were all so good to me..
It was like being in a family with them, haha. Working with them was fun! =)

I had to rush back home because it's family day, we would have dinner outside.
And so..


For the appetizer, I ordered Pigs In Blankets for my family to try =D

 Mom said that sauce is mustard but it tasted like wasabi to me.
Does mustard taste like wasabi? Explain =)

I ordered Lamb Cutlet, yum yum!!

Tasty, love the garlic and parsley!

 
Sirloin Steak!!

 
Mom ordered this, Grilled Ham!!
It's the latest recipe in Black Pearl, appetizing! =D

Little brother and grandmother ordered this.
Black Pearl's signature dish, the Pork Fillet!

After that, we watched The Tooth Fairy =)


Enjoyed the movie, it was entertaining!

Monday

I had to work for my family this week. Not the house chores, but with a store revamp!!
To think that I could have a small break after ending my job, but it never stops. Work just loves to haunt me. I can't even spend time with my girl and my friends, sob.. ;'(

Well, have a look at the place.. What a mess..

Tons of LD's and CD's, they were used when my parents still had karaoke and disco few years back.
 




With so many thrash and unwanted items, we required a very big transport to load all those and dispose of them while a few others would be transferred to another store in Kuantan Garden @_@


Most of the old LD's and CD's were loaded into the MyVi back to my house.
Gosh, pity my car..


Trash!!

These items would be sold as secondhand. Garage sale!! XD

And there goes my whole day.
Had dinner at home, mom and grandma cooked. And after that, we watched Shutter Island!
To me, this movie wasn't that interesting, I got confused a little though I understand the movie. It's quite a long movie, expected already that there will be a lot of dialogues =X
Mom and little brother dozed off watching this movie, LOL~
The rest of the week won't be that interesting because it will be just rough work, never enjoyed it. Nothing much to say for this week, I suppose.

By the way, guess what food this is and where I ate it. It's quite popularly known in Kuantan. Guess it!



Have fun people! =D

My Friday

Well, today is quite tiring, I'm not so used to working full shift at Quiksilver.

Everything was going quite well today.
And I'm so delighted to find out that there's a new stock arrival when I reached there.
There were so many promotional tees this time, almost four tables full!!
And sale's going to be over by end of this week!!
So, discounted items has been raised too, from 20% to 30% while some 30% to 50% and the 50% to 70%!!


Odd thing was, there isn't that many customers in the afternoon, I was almost dozing off, haha. Luckily I kept myself occupied with ironing the new clothes *smile*

By the way, a new worker came in today, his name's Shafiq and he's a law student who just completed his diploma. He's having his sem break and will be working here quite a while. Nice guy =D

I used to see this in the past few weeks..



(Kids can be so rough these days, look at that 'thing', it's about to fall)

Now I see nothing there, it's empty.
Right in front of QS, there's this Hong Leong Assurance stand again, offering some retirement plan thing, I never bother to care.

I spend my 1st break in the store, and my 2nd break with my girl. She came before my second break and accompanied me at Ms Veg for meal.
We ordered the new 'Mee Hoon Basah' (sorry, forgot to snap a pic) that the waiter mentioned which is delicious, and so we tried.
Guess what?
It doesn't really taste that good, it was so so, that's our opinion.
Since my 2nd break is only 20 minutes, I rushed and left my girl there after Hui Ying has arrived.
At night, customers started to get more and more. That means.. More sales =)
We managed to hit more that the daily targeted sales, wee!! *happy*

1 1/2 hours before closing time, my stomach growled, I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it. Fortunately, I bought a bowl of Maggi which I'm supposed to have for my 2nd break, muahaha~

I asked for my assistant supervisor's permission to have a quick meal since customers got less. He approved, I feel so grateful *thanks Asst Sup.*
I rushed out to Rotiboy to get some hot water.
Then, I went in the store to put the seasoning and all.


After three minutes..



After a few minutes..

TADAA!!

All down to my stomach, not so yummy though but better than nothing!
I'm gonna buy Maggi cup instead next time, this doesn't taste so good to me *upset*
All this took around 10 minutes or so and I'm back to work!

After closing, fetched Kak Lin home and rushed back home.
I was still hungry, so I looked at the dining table to see what dishes are there..


Mom made chicken rice today, I'm up for it cos' I'm loving it!!
And now it's around 11.30pm, bon apetite to me!

Cheerio~

Yikes!!

My gosh, this morning was a disgusting experience..
I was about to go out with mom to run errands.. Then, when I wanted to wear my shoes, I felt something 'soft' in my right shoe.
I'll let the pictures do the 'talking' *feeling eww*



 


Yucks!! I can't believe that FROG spend the night in my shoe!

DISGUSTING!!

I'm never keeping my shoes outside anymore, damn..

Anyway, I'll update soon regarding this week..
I'm sorry for not blogging lately, I have been busy with house chores and other tasks given by my parents.
See ya!!

Movie Surfing (March)

I apologised that I've missed February, it was Chinese New Year, I was in the mood for that rather than.. blogging XD
Well, there will be a few movies up soon by 4th of March, so this is considered quite late for me to post about the movies.

Let's see for some highlights..
Well, I'll start with the movie that mostly everyone has been waiting for, especially the ladies..

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

 

  

 



Nice posters huh? *smile*

Starring :
Johnny Depp
Mia Wasikowska
Anne Hathaway
Helena Bonham Carter
Crispin Glover
Michael Sheen
Stephen Fry

17-year-old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. She runs off, following the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) into a hole and ends up in Wonderland, a place she visited in a similar manner 10 years before, yet doesn't remember. Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) overthrew her sister, the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). The creatures of Wonderland, such as the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) and the March Hare (Noah Taylor), ready to revolt, wait for Alice to help them. With the help of the White Queen, the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), Alice starts seeing flashbacks of her original visit, back when she was seven.

(source : gsc.com.my)
 
I've been doing a little comparison and it seems that certain plot says that Alice is 19 instead of 17, what a controversy. I couldn't conclude this but to place my trust on the handy Wiki, hehe.. So, Wiki says that Alice is 19, so she's 19 to me, settled.. *silence*


Just can't wait for the premiere, it's in 3D!!
Well, this is shorter than Avatar quite a lot, haha.. It's just 1h 42 min, so you don't have to hold your pants for so long before you get to finish the movie to go to the loo.
This movie should be good since this movie is directed by Tim Burton, ring any bells?
He directs many well known movies. His recent ones are 9, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
 Man, only the Red Queen gets a size increase by three times, I wanted to see the White Queen(Anne Hathaway) the same way too, it would be hilarious! *laughs*


By the way, the main theme song of this movie will be Alice by .... AVRIL LAVIGNE!!


And here's her song :

Here are some of the pictures I found..





Enough of Alice and her Wonderland, moving on to a more action packed movie..
People, you are hearing about this movie quite often on the radio..

SOLOMON KANE




Starring :
James Purefoy
Max Von Sydow
Rachel Hurd-Wood
Peter Postlethwaite
Kane (James Purefoy) is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper (Ian Whyte), he realises he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again

(source: Cinema Online)

This movie came from a comic. And it's part of Marvel!! Who doesn't love Spiderman and Ironman!?
I'm crazy about them! *high*
It was released on the 23rd of Dec 2009 in France, imagine how slow we are to view this on the 4th of March.. *sighs*


Somehow, this movie reminds me of V for Vendetta. Not only that, the outfit looks so much like Van Helsing's style, copy? *shuts mouth*
Based on imdb.com, it has a 6.7 rating out of 10. Commentators wrote that this movie is bloody, as in raining with blood XD
However, take note that this movie is a bit of a fantasy, it has swords and magic.
The setting of his movie dates back to 17th Century in England, looks interesting.
By the way, the movie lengths to 1h 44min, normal *smile*
Some say that this movie will have a sequel too, I want to watch this!!

Screenies :





The next movie has many beautiful known actresses.. And they are mostly award winners, wow~

NINE
 
Starring :
Daniel Day-Lewis
Marion Cotillard
Stacy Ann Ferguson
Penélope Cruz
Judi Dench
Kate Hudson
Nicole Kidman
Sophia Loren

Nine tells the story of Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a world famous film director as he confronts an epic mid-life crisis with both creative and personal problems. He must balance the many women of his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren)

(source : imdb)

This movie is a musical-romantic film. I downloaded the movie last month, and I got the clear version (you can't blame me because the movie was released on the 25th Dec 2009 in USA). However, I still haven't watch it yet, waiting for my parents requests *smile*
Trust me, it isn't like Phantom of the Opera, I know that many are not fans of musical movies like that. I can asure one thing, their outfits are sexy! Storyline is interesting as well, we're talking about a man handling nine women, amazing huh?
This is a must watch, very interesting! It's only 1h 58min, not long, haha~

Screenshots :





Well, that's all for now, I'm in a rush to go out, once again *smile*
I'll update more again when I'm free, blogging a post takes me hours, not really sure why *laughs*
Hope you guys enjoy this review, do visit again for other upcoming posts.
See ya readers! *winks*
