Another long ass post on everything except my trip :)

As you probably know, I quit my job a week ago. *silently cheering with tears in eyes*
*ahem* Now, I shall share a thought or two about my time there.
From the moment I walked into the shop, my 'people watching' habit started. I started to take note of everybody who walked into our shop.. bad and good.

- Grown people actually argue over which is 'white WHITE' and 'white' - I say, they're all the same! Sheesh!
- 3 Chinese ladies and 1 kid can get very insecure and unsure when you say 'How may I help you?' in English.
- Little girls nowadays are complete crap brats.
- Grown women sometimes buy children's dresses. (Size 10)
- Couples fight about marriage in public.
- People are very blunt about discounts.
- Ah Beng boys try to pick you up on escalators after closing hours. Speaking mandarin.
- Parents and grandparents spoil little children rotten.
- Some people play the harmonica in the mall at 11 AM in the morning.
- 1Utama's smoke detectors are crap. They go off at every opportunity and then the air vents start to suck all air out of the building leaving nothing for us to breathe in.
- 1Utama also plays the same few songs 12 hours straight. So does The Pink Pussycat and Tropicana Life/Wild Channel.
- Foreigners are the best customers one can wish for.
- Only Ah Bengs work in Tropicana Life/Wild Channel.
- People don't read signs fully. They don't read the thicker than fine print. I hope they never have to sign any contracts in case they end up selling their soul to the devil.
- Strange eldery man makes it a point to step into every square tile and stops a few seconds to stare at his feet. Stepping on cracks is not tolerated where he comes from, possibly.
- Tropicana Life plays A7X's Afterlife and Seize the Day. What joy to hear SynGates' guitar solo after days of noisy Japanese crap pop music. What joy to hear silence after 5 consecutive hours of Afterlife!

And now, for the letters that were passed between Claireeey and I.. We call them our 'love letters'.
From Claireeey. (All grammatical/spelling/caps or no caps mistakes weren't corrected to preserve the authenticity)

Dear Lydia,
I'm currently bored. As ALWAYS. Haha..
There was this customer just now who took about 5-6 dresses of the racks & i thought, "Yay! Big BUSINESS!" (as in MORE MONEY! NOT toilet kinda big business! Sheesh!) then, she came up to me asking for a white party dress for a two-year-old. I went searching & then she put all those dresses on the table and said she wanted to choose which was nicer... I thought she wanted (oh, gosh my handwriting is getting worse as i write! Aaah!) those 5-6 dresses PLUS the White dress, but, I was wrong... She chose the White dress that i showed her instead... and ONLY that... I was a little [-______-]... I mean wth? you pick soooo many dresses & you're only gonna buy ONE?!
my hands hurts writing this....
I was also thinking.. that your hearts exhibition can be printed on shirts!!! [Woooo-hoooo~] I would so totally wear it... btw, i'm sure you've found your hearts in your handphone pouch... LOL... Another thing was, when i went to ROCK CORNER just now to take the new DON'T PANIC thing, I thought it was the new one, but I WAS WRONG... Again... Bummer... Sheesh... My handwriting is getting worst.. OMGOSH! OSHKOSH... hahahaha... I can see your WTF face now... OMGOSH they're playing another Daughtry song NOW!! I WANT those tickets.. I feel like calling hitzfm & BEG for those tickets. DAMN people don't wanna give any to me!! Shitty handwriting... Hand's tired ALReady... I would re-write this so that you can include them into your working 'mometos' but.... I need energy to sms Hitz.fm later... Hahahaha...Btw, we should go to Bali to get some BARLY... Oh, there was also this dude who came in... Passing me his name card... It's in the drawer... It seems he's from some paper/plastic bag company... Spoke to me in mandarin... I was practically squeezing all my mandarin outta me... He told me to pass his name card to Mr. Lew... I said, 'SURe'? I mean what was I suppose to say right??!! hahahaha... time to plan for Karaoke!!! Sheesh~ I was wondering if the Xiah-look-alike would come back & buy another dress... Haha... I just wanna know how he looks like... Damn~ It's only 2017!! Time passes so slow here!! I'm singing to EMPTY now... The vocalist's face is stuck in my head!! Hehe... So cute.... Xiah too... I'm resting my head on the tabke now... I hope i don't fall asleep... It's bad... Mr. Lew might suddenly walk in... And, not to mention the dresses might go missing....What a dumb idea... Lol.
My hands are starting to hurt again... I said hands because I can switch hands and write.. that's why it's so messy.. HAHAHA... I'm trying to imitate how Ayame' laughs... NOT WORKING..... I like Hatori... And Hatsuharu. moo moo moo~~~ COW!!! Mannnn~ I just finished a RM485 business... Suddenly 3-4 groups of ppl walk in buying the SAME dress!! WTH~~ And now, they're playing the same emo Daughtry song... I'm gonna be emo!!! Sheesh... I missed the cue to sms just now!! Damn DJ didn't announce properly!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Shit - Sheeeeeeeet!!

Love,
Claireeey.
[signs off with a drawing of a bee with the words 'MY BUMBLE BEE WHO LURVES ME!! :)']

And then, on my last day of work, I left this on the table..

Dear Claire.
A lady just walked by saying 'So!? you sleep with LADY BOSS AR?!' My word. Like everybody wants to know who her friend sleeps with. Boss or not. LAdy or not. I felt like running out and yell 'LIKE I CARE. OH MY GOD! SHUT UP!'

(for the rest of the letter, please refer to C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\lettertoyou.bmp)

p.s: the boat is a present 4 u. Enjoy playing with it. Keep it away from Jessica and her glue gun. She might use it as a 'glue holdall'. You know what I mean :)

Much love,
*signature*
-LYD ROCKS MAJOR SOCKS-
(oh yeaaah)

That letter was left with another letter written shortly after the first one.

oh my god! growling girl came back.
I nearly cried in agony, despair & depression
we should get 3X our pay 4 the hour dat she walks in. It's damaging 4 my rationality & mental health.


So, if you refer to C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\lettertoyou.bmp you would have found the longest letter I've ever written in my life.

Hello! If you're wondering why I'm so free, it's because I am. There is nobody walking around cause everybody gets caught up watching Lee Chong Wei fight for the gold... (or as Baskin Robbins will say 'Fight for the Cold'). They are cheering and booing whenever the situation arises. I practically know what's going on just listening to them. They're totally ruining the game for me (I intend to watch the delayed telecast). How insensitive can people be? From the sounds of it, Lee Chong Wei is leading. Not that you are interested. Claireeey, your Elvis book has made me depressed. I don't know why. Maybe it's because he dies at the end? So I decided to stop reading it and start doing my number puzzles but I got even more deressed cause I'm finishing my book too fast. I wanna do some logic puzzles... My brain is so redundant I fear there are dust bunnies in there. Well, there's a whole lotta bunnies in there already but now the bunnies might turn into dust. hehe. Don't mind my crapping. I can't wait to go to Singapore... Singapure... Singa pura-pure. Lion faking. Nevermind. Like my border? I made every single dot. So hardworking sometimes, I am *yoda talk* oo-er. Kids are running into the shop, crashing into the dresses and then running out. Seriously, were we ever this crazy as children? I don't recall the need to crash into random dresses in random shops as a kid. I think they are trying to recreate their own ski slope and our dresses has inadvertantly become their pine trees. Oh dear. I fear for these kids. Where are theyr parents anyway? I'm trying to fight the urge to close the shutters and run towards the nearest telly to watch badminton but I know Jessica will gut me like a fish if she finds out. Which is why I'm still sitting here listening to them cheer and boo. It's only like 7:50 pm now. How slow can time be? Why can't the land move a few latitudes to the west now so it'll be like 10 pm and I can close and watch my badminton. Malaysia may be on their way to trashing China's ass nice and clean and I'm still sitting here typing a letter among blue and purple dots! How sad life can be somtimes. Jessica, if you are wondering what my blog is like, it's like this. Full of crap and noneducational crap. In other words, rubbish. Now there's a group of people staring at the Wild Channel display. The bike with 4 wheels in front and 1 behind. That's one strange bicycle if I've ever seen one. I don't get the concept. More balance in front and no balance behind. Instead of assymetrical, it's abalance? End of page. No more space. Bye Bye!!!!!!!!

And now, on to the main, most amazing event that's happened in my life EVER.
In 2004, somebody sent me the website that featured Nintendo's latest, up and coming product called the Nintendo DS.
I told myself at that point, I want that shit.
3 years later, I have it.
I got a Nintendo DS.
Woo-hoo!!
I know I'm 20 and most girls my age don't play Nintendo's anymore but I love Nintendo!! Badly.
I've been playing Yoshi's Island. It's adorable! Ciao.
