"i am free to be who i really am... no pretenses, no broken promises, no fear... just a life packed with hopelessness and unattainable dreams, 'cause im just livin' like i shld... my life..." everyone has hopes and dreams but dun they know that hope is the denial of reality and that dreams will forever be just dreams?

[100207] Grüezi! Welcome to Marche!
Finished my first day at Marche... darn tiring, so much more work involved in kitchen side of the F & B line... did a lot of cutting and peeling... carrots, onions, potatos and grated cheese as well but most of the time was at a blur at what to do next... reached the outlet in the morning blur as hell... didnt know where to go, what to do... throughout the day, it was still pretty much the same... asked for something to do, did it and then stoned and stun a while before i asked yet again, if there was anything to do...
Like so freakin lost... so unused to the idling in between tasks... felt so lost while i see the rest of the salad-pasta bar crew all doing something... felt so dumb... guess still not used to being in the kitchen... but cant get used to the feeling of working in the kitchen so talked to Dery, my chef about getting a transfer over to the restaurant side at Marche, which is mainly service and either in the fruit juice counter or the Bar... hopes everything goes well... in the meantime, i'll be still working in the Salad bar...
And i still have no idea how much am i getting paid per hour... ridiculous you may say but yep, im still pretty much clueless... im not even sure about the little details like the length of my meal breaks, OT hourly pay, my work schedule and the manner in which im paid... it's really kinnda messy right now... bumped into Alex with his girlfriend while at work, small world...
Met up with HZ, KQM and PH for dinner yesterday at this popular vegetarian place just across the National Library... bumped into a former colleague from Atrium as he was walking towards TCC CBJ... decided to drop in and saw Dez, Elene and Zie... managed to even see Farah after the dinner... nice to see all of 'em... really enjoyed my time working with them...
Met up with Helmut and ZC before heading down to padang area to visit the Chun Dao He Pan but to HZ's surprise, it wasnt yet open, she complained endlessly as we decided to head over to Max Brenner to chill... pretty cool place but there was either something wrong with the AC or they purposely didnt switch it on... ordered me self a dark choc shake thingy... dang! darn nice... shiokness amplified... caught up on our lives of late and chatted til late before recieving the summons for starting work today....
Working morning shift again tomorrow... so glad that im finally starting to work again... another date to be marked on my calendar every month from now on, another pay day to look forward to... heading down to Lot Stock & Barrels later on... Come on NEWCASTLE! HOWAY THE LADS!
The Fray - How to Save a Life
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong,
I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
