Working

It's finally break time!

After five hours of abusing my poor long legs, I finally get to sit down! The sole of my feet hurt so much that they're begging me to go home-- just forget about the other three hours and go home!

I don't exactly have a job. I'm just filling in for a friend today, since she's busy with something. I'm promoting Schwarzkopf products at Aeon, so if you read this post before 9pm tonight, make sure to come visit me! Buy from me too, if you're in need of shampoo.

It's dreadful, standing there and smelling the scent of all the shampoos mixed together. I almost stole some Panadol from the health section because all the shampoos were giving me a big headache!

After five hours, yours truly still haven't sold anything. Yep. I suck at this job.

People treat me like I'm some kind of threat. They walk away almost immediately with their fastest possible speed after I ask them if they needed help. Do I look like a person who would rape you in a mall, at the shampoo section? Sheesh.

Just when I thought I'd sell my first product, the guy turned out to be bald.

A bald Indian man asked me which hair dye suited him best... I was looking at his hairless head and thinking what the hell, does he not realise he's bald?

How would you handle a situation like that? I couldn't tell him he had no hair... He might throw boxes of dye at me...

It's my first time eating at Wing Zone. Not bad. Although, the sandwich is a bit big for this tiny mouth of mine... Ah well everything's big to my tiny mouth! It's just the size of an unstretched rubber band. And no, it won't get any wider.

I wish Oporto would consider opening up a franchise here in Malaysia... Sigh... I miss their fries more than their burgers!

The waitress just refilled my iced tea but sadly, I'm bloated and almost late for work!

I hope my friends come look for me later... I'd be sad if nobody comes, because it'd show that I'm not loved enough T.T

Samedi (Saturday) Post

I landed myself on a part-time job as a librarian. I guess this is my first part-time job... But if you count being a translator at Obsession Scans a part-time job as well, then I guess being a librarian would be my SECOND job... Hmm...

I don't know what I want to write actually... We all know that I can't write with seriousness about myself because little me just isn't the practical type. Sometimes, I wonder if knocking my head too often when I was a baby loosened the screws in my head. 

I only work once a week, 4 to 5 hours on Saturday. The very kind and understanding owner of Smalltown-Books, Mr.Ing, says that I should focus on my schoolwork instead. I didn't tell him that I don't do my homework though, in case he thinks I'm a very irresponsible person... Well, there aren't any homework to begin with. I like being at the store; surrounded by more than 3000 books just makes me feel at home. My job is simple, and I get to read so many books... I'm so happy I could die! Although, looking through the bookshelves did give me a major headache... This could be a great start for me to improve my writing and find my own unique style of telling the story.

I learnt some French today =D

French sounds really fancy, probably because they add 'la', 'le' and 'les' in front of EVERYTHING... Almost everything... I actually don't know what the 'la', 'le' and 'les' are for, but if I guessed correctly then 'la' means the, 'le' is singular and 'les' is plural... I don't know... I read a French book for kids!


Today's post title also has a French word in it. Yep, 'Samedi' is Saturday in French. 


Bread is called 'le pain' in French. I told Zongxu that I wanted some 'le pain' and he smacked me--through the phone. Shorts are called 'le shorts'... I know... They just add a 'le' in front to make it sound all fancy, Haha. Cookies are called 'le biscuit'... Candies are called 'bonbons', which in my opinion, sounds really cute. Shower is called 'douche', which reminds me of douche-bags, and soap is 'savon'. An apple would be 'le pomme' and a pear is 'le paire', if I'm not mistaken. Ah, and a cat is 'le chat' which sounds a whole lot fancier than the evil creature deserves! Kittens are... well... 'les chatton'... Acorns are called 'le bud' for some reason. Ah, let's not forget 'le escargot', which means snail in English. Oh, oh, and 'le fromage'(cheese). 

Okay, I'll stop now. I want some bonbons. 

I wonder if I should take up French, haha. Looks easier than Japanese. A whole lot easier. I think I kinda get how French works already... It sounds kinda stuck up actually, the person who invented it must be a really proud person because it sounds like everything is being scorned at, that's what I think anyway. I haven't read about the French language on Wikipedia. 

My, my, it's getting late and I'm getting sick. I wonder if I am fit to parade tomorrow.






...
I lost you,
where are you,
I can't see you,
where is the light?

Turn on the lights,
I'm going round in circles,
just looking for you.

I can't feel anything,
I'm feeling with my hands,
where are the walls,
where are the floors?

Can't you hear me calling you?
Can't you feel my desperation and loneliness?
Where are you, I ask you again.

It's wet.
It's warm.

A dim light shines.

I see you.

You're lying on the floor,
knife in your hand.

It's your blood I felt.

I stand there.
I drop to my knees...

Well, how was that little thing I just wrote? It was inspired by the song 'Not Tomorrow' from the OST of Silent Hill. I've been playing that song on the piano since yesterday, and I just needed to express it with some words... I still haven't completed Silent Hill because I'm too scared to continue. I need someone to play with me, so I don't get scared alone!
