HATI
Hello hello, I just had lunch at work today and it was AWESOME!!! Its no surprise though, I had rice with sweet and sour fish and you know it, hati which is chicken liver.
Yes, chicken liver made it much more awesome than normal. Nothing could beat it. The creamy texture, the crunchy surface, heavenly. To sum it all up, I love chicken liver. Yay to chicken liver!!

Toast
I'm gonna be a piece of toast soon, tomorrow to be exact but I'm just going to be screwed. Here's what happened.
I was actually sick yesterday and I messaged my manager in the morning telling her I can't come to work. She didn't reply and I just passed out till 3pm when she called me asking me where I was. She sounded pissed so I said I messaged her telling her I'm sick. I think she didn't believe me but who cares, I was sick.
Today, today is the day where I fucked up. I woke up today quite early, 6.45am. Showered and all but I was so lazy to go to work. There was also a little bit of a headache that I had yesterday lingering. So I did the wrong thing and messaged my manager again saying I am still sick and just went back to bed. I'm feeling so bad. This is a bad habit of mine, I get an off day and I can't just let it go. I feel so bad. Argh.
Sigh, tomorrow I'm just going to get it. I can feel it in my soul. Wish me luck!

Spoons?
I've been told something interesting today. Apparently, when you make any kind of stew with meats inside, you should put a stainless steel spoon inside to make it tender. I'm still skeptical because I've never tried it myself but it does sound interesting. If it works, my tough meat stews will be gone!
Have you tried it? Is it plausible? I need a mythbuster of my own here.

Lalala Kerjalah
Lalalala! Hari-Hari kerja! Lalala la la~ Bosan dengan kerja HAHA! Lalalalaaaaa~ Itu baru kerja!!! KERJA!
If you're not familiar with the words, they're from the song La la Kerjalah by Meet Uncle Hussein. Guess these lyrics suit me pretty well right now. Haha, nice old song by a Malaysian band. Yes they're Malaysian, disbanded, but still Malaysian.
Just if you're interested, don't try this song first, go for Lagu Untukmu. Just Youtube it, everything is on Youtube.

Oh yeah....
Oh yeah, you guys must be wondering what happened to the other restaurant? The truth is, I didn't even gave it a shot. I just went for the trial at Madam Kay's and worked there the next day.
How did I remember you ask? I just read my old posts and realized, that's why. Yeah I know I'm a pathetic person because I read my own blog. So what? You err.... OH I GOT ONE! You're worse because you're reading my blog! Take that, on a side note, here's a joke for you people who are kind enough to read the blog of a pathetic person.
Why can't a bicycle stand on its own?

Cannot Tahan Leh
For you non-Malaysians out there, tahan basically means hold or something similar. So the title just means "Cannot Take It Anymore".
Argh, I can't tahan weih. The fucking kitchen is a nightmare when I'm with the chef. I was doing so well in the morning working with Cira (the owner) but when the chef comes in at 12, all hell broke lose.
I cracked an egg wrongly and the yolk broke, minor mistake right? Not to the chef though, to her, it's like the end of the world and somehow it goes to me being an incompetent fool with nothing going for me in life. Yes, I'm not making it up, she really said that, in Malay though.
I didn't really take it to heart, she's busy and she's stressed with work. I understand. This next one is totally ridiculous though. Before she comes in, I have to actually bring out all the ingredients needed for the lunch service. I have to say there was no error there. But the chef suddenly called me and pointed to the capsicum filled container and said "Apa tu?" ("What's that?). I thought to myself, I shouldn't answer just in case she was being sarcastic. Then she said "there's already another container filled with it in the fridge", in my head, no duh~ I was the one who cut it 2 days ago, I just took the one with the less out because to me, less = old = must be used first. But apparently, somebody else, not me, cut a new batch and placed it there.
What happens after that, take a guess. Yeah, she yelled at me some more. Had to listen to her lecture about small restaurants have to be smart and bla bla bla. The best part was, I tried saying I didn't even cut any capsicums yesterday but I could only manage "Saya tak po.." (I didn't cu...) and she cut me off yelling "KAU BERANI JAWAB?"(YOU DARE TO TALK BACK?). I just kept quiet after that and just listen to her talk about all her past experience and shits you have to do when you're working in a small restaurant.
Even with all the niceness in my heart, I really hate her guts right now. Even with all the experiences you have from Maldives and whatever, I won't respect you if you have an ill heart. That might be the reason you're still not married. Don't think that all guys don't want you because you're a workaholic. Past workers ran from you, not the owner. Get the hint? Sigh.
I won't be surprised if I'm not working there anymore by the end of February. But for now, I shall suck it all up and be a rock. Why a rock you ask? I'm a rock, I have no feelings. That's why.

What time should I sleep?
My goodness. My sleeping cycles are fucked. I've been sleeping at different times everyday this past week. Today, I spent 6 hours sleeping from 1-7pm and yesterday I slept from 4am-7am. The day before was.... 5pm-1am. Sigh, I'm going crazy here. Fucking split shifts making me all tired and sleeping randomly. I AM SLEEPY BUT I CANT SLEEP NOW BECAUSE I KNOW I WON'T WAKE UP FOR TOMORROW'S MORNING SHIFT. THANK YOU CIRA FOR MAKING ME WORK AT UNGODLY HOURS. Sigh

1st week of work
I've officially finished my first week of work here in Melbourne. Saying it's all okay would be a good summary of the experience, with some extra pros and cons here and there.
Let's start with the pros :-
1. I can eat whatever on the menu which is awesome because the food there are deliciously delicious.
2. I get to finally speak some Malay with other Malays here in Melbourne. It's a refreshing feeling to be conversing with other people in your mother tongue after months of English.
3. TEH TARIK AND LATTES EVERYDAY BABY!!!!!!
Now to the cons:-
1. The chef is a bitch. Yes, she's a huge bitch with some serious issues. 1 mistake and she'll scold you like there's no tomorrow. Seriously, I know I forgot to wash the rice pot, stop bitching about it like you have a dildo stuck in your ass for months.
2. The hours are just horrible, split shift today, morning shift tomorrow and night shift the next. Get your head together please. I'm not a robot. I need some consistency. You can't just put me to work whenever you want. Sigh
Well I always make the bad things sound really bad but I think I'm actually being nice with the cons. Tired as hell now so I think I'll catch some sleep. 1 week done! God knows how long more to go!

Here It Comes
My trial is tomorrow and I'm having mixed feelings. I want to work there just for experience but I don't want to work because they are douches. But I'm desperate so I'll take whatever I can and not be picky.
Today, I am feeling sick like a dog. My head is spinning and my joints are sore. I feel nauseated and the only thing I feel I can eat now is bread. Some chicken porridge would be so awesome right now. Ate some panadols just now so I hope it'll just go away before tomorrow.

Almost 40
Whew, tired as hell here. I have gave my resume to almost 40 different establishments in 2 days. No callbacks so far but I do have 2 trials on Saturday and Wednesday. Both aren't in the 'I wanna really get this one' category but I can't complain now can I?
The first one is at Madam Kay's on Russel's. It's a small Malaysian restaurant and it really does look good from the outside. When they said I could have the interview right there and then, I was ecstatic. Turns out the chef there is an ass. She's from Malaysia too, but she was all "I don't want to go around teaching you when I really need a cook." and "I know you said okay but I don't want you to run away after a week". I know I don't look like a capable person in your eyes but have some respect. You really have some trust issues and what's with the hours and pay. I know I'm desperate but 3-5 hours a day with only 9 dollars an hour is just shit. Sigh. (By the way, those words that she said was actually all in B.M)
The second one is actually way better in terms of first impressions and it is also a Malaysian restaurant. The lady was all nice and asked me how I was doing and was actually nice enough to ask me what day I want to do the trial while the other one just said Saturday and said it must be a Saturday, they just leave it to me to come or not. But I didn't have any interview here though, it was all talking from the other side of the counter. You must be thinking, why bother with the first one, just go for this. Well it is actually my ego who's stopping me from taking this job. I might seem a little racist after this, but it's juts this, they are only Indians there. I don't mean any ill intentions towards Indians, one of my best friend is an Indian too (Love u Ranessh). I would just look totally out of place there, and as bad as it sounds, I don't want to sound lame to my friends here in Melbourne. I know you're saying "Fuck, he's a racist.", but before you do, think about it yourself, what would you do if you're in my shoes. It's actually eating me up inside here. I'll just have to go to both trials and just choose which one has the nicest environment to work in.
Just so you know, my desperation does not affect my choices in the 2nd one. It's just my pride. The 2nd one actually looks like the ideal choice right now but yeah, can't decide with just these right? Hope these trials goes well and wish me luck please. I really need some.

Rain
Fuck it, just when I get all pumped up. Its raining, heavily too. Why oh why must you rain. Sigh, let's wait till 2 o'clock and see if its still raining. If it is, then god just doesn't want me to pass. Argh my mom's so gonna be pissed at me. Fuck!
IM GOING TO GET THIS JOB
OKAY! I AM GOING TO GET A JOB BY THE END OF THE WEEK!! I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!
Here's the thing. If I don't get a job by the end of January, I'll fail this internship. God knows why its this way, I was told I just have to work 500 hours before July to pass but no, looks like I have to get a job before february too.
I haven't slept a wink last night, so I am just going to go out at 11 (an hour or so to go), and just give my resume everywhere. Hope it'll land me a job. God forbid if someone rejects me again. Twice is enough for me.
May peace be upon you. Please, wish me luck, I need it, BADLY!

Long Gone
What's up strangers who are reading this. I just had a talk with the boss of the place I trialed at last week. Yup, you guessed it, rejected again. Sigh.
Looks like the dream of going back to Malaysia this winter is slowly fading away. If I don't get one before February then I should just give up on going back. The best part is that this isn't even the worst case scenario yet. If i fail to get a job before a set date in February, I'll fail this so called internship and have to differ a semester. Hell no if I have to differ and study alone for another 2 years.
FIND A JOB LAH FAIZAL. YOU FUCKING LAZY ASS!!

Worst Teppan Ever
Today, I celebrated my friend, John Poh's birthday at a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. It was called, Miyako if I remember correctly. Here's a summary of the experience.
It sucks.
Yup, it just sucks badly. 1st, the price was just too expensive, 18 dollars for a assorted tempura plate with only 1 fucking prawn is just shit. 22 dollars for chicken teppan and they only give 2 pieces of chicken breasts.
Then there was the teppanyaki guy. Sir, you sucked balls, even I could do better. Who cuts a frigging omelette and makes it fly everywhere. The taste of the food wasn't even good.
Well, all in all it was just sucky. But it was kinda fun. OH AND THE PORTION WAS FUCKING SMALL. I HAD TO EAT SOME MORE AT HOME AFTER AND I WAS STILL NOT FULL. sigh

Oh
Oh, just if you're wondering. The interview I had before Christmas flopped. They kinda implied that they were going to hire me. But I was wrong. It's all in the past though, I'm just waiting for a call from this new place. The one where I had a trial today with.

Trial
THANK YOU RUI WEI!! Finally, a breakthrough! Had a trial run at work today. All thanks to Rui Wei. He called me yesterday and said if I can work tomorrow (today) at his place and I said yes. Just reached home. Whew, tired.
Hope this goes well and I can get the job and finally get rid of this 'I can't go home lah like this' shit and continue with life here in Australia.

FUCK YOU
Yes fuck you. Well not you of course. But you, the one who never turns off your downloads. Fuck you. You know I play online games so be fucking considerate please. Even if I'm a bit selfish, I still download when no one is using the internet. Fuck!
1st of January 2012
The 1st day of 2012 guys, what the hell did I do today? Watched some awesome fireworks near Crown and the Skydeck. 10 minutes long! You can't get that in Malaysia right? That was right at the start, 12a.m. After that...... I went home and played some Marvel vs Capcom 3 with Jian Wen and the rest and slept at 4, or around there.
Guess what? I actually woke up early! 9.30 to be exact, and headed out with them for breakfast in the city. Dim Sum buffet!! Stuffed my skinny ass stomach till no prawns could enter anymore. Seriously, no prawns for a week man.
Went home and here I am now. Its 3.40pm and I actually thought I was going to St Kilda with Kit and Chicky. Well that was what I thought. Apparently when Heng Kit said "Dude, we're going to St Kilda at 3 a.". The "we're" does not include me and now I'm wondering, what will happen to us? I actually feel closer to a guy I met 2 months ago right now. Okay let me rephrase that gay sentence...... Okay can't do it, that's the straightest I can go.
The day is still young and I guess I'll call my friends back in Malaysia and wish them a Happy New Year!
