Zombie

WELL HELLO.
I just worked at my first (and last) wedding dinner, and I made it out alive!! :D
Pam's sick (I think) so I had to fill in for her, and cue immense trepidation because all I've ever done were buffets which are admittedly pretty easy and even then, my suckiness as a waitress knew no bounds. I made some mistakes today (especially during portioning like spilling the soup and SPLASHING THE FISH TAIL SO EMBARRASSING and turning the fish round and round to figure out the best way to cut it). I think all the guests kind of figured I was new after about ten minutes. But everything went relatively okay.
Okay so the credit doesn't go to me, it goes to my awesome partner and the almost equally awesome drinks server who was helping us. Was originally two to three tables, and it became three to three. And I only portioned four dishes out of nine, so you can tell who was doing all the work. Heh. The drinks server was a bit impatient with me though, because I am dense and slow. But she helped us a lot! Or else I think we'd have failed miserably.
And I had an awesome partner!! Who was not mad at me (at least not openly) for being clueless and slow and asking a lot of questions. He was really nice and spoke to me in English (he's from China, but his English is pretty good) and taught me how to portion food and didn't seem to mind that he had to tell me what to do every ten seconds. And he had to do most of the work, I never even had to carry the main courses on the oval tray. THANK YOU random guy whose name I didn't really know but forgot anyway even though you will never see this.
SHIT I FORGOT TO TAKE THE BRIEFING PAPER OUT OF MY JACKET POCKET OHNOEZ. AND I PURPOSELY REMINDED MYSELF TO DO IT TOO. D:
Oh well. Off to bath and bed!

Don't Go Away

I'm running out of song names for blogpost titles!
Okay, went to watch Ip Man on um, Saturday. With Aaron, Pang Wee, Quan Xiang and Sherry. It was pretty awesome. Like good fight scenes and the whole Japanese invasion of China thing. And it was funny and sad and just really good in general. :D There were Japanese people sitting behind us, which was a little bit ironic and made me wonder why Japanese actors would want to act in roles that portray their country negatively.
Currently have a study/ movie date with the hobos tomorrow! We're going to watch Australia, which would make it my third movie in six days. After almost half a year of no movies! Heh. (Natty, this is your cue to call me a loser again.)
And something else about Runescape (ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT IT IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE), the doors to some room in the dwarven mine bear some resemblance to the doors to the mines of Moira in Lord of The Rings. :D I like to think that the Runescape creators purposely made a reference to LOTR. Heh.
I will now either go try to clear out my music folder, or traverse Youtube for Muse and Athlete. (And maybe R.E.M. and Belle and Sebastian and Stars and I STILL WANT TO GO FOR THE STARS CONCERT.)

If She Wants Me

I love Christmas. :D Okay not the frantic shopping part, but the festive happy part.
Yesterday I went out with my awesome Daisy! We went to watch Gail carol then we went for lunch then Gail and I played counterstrike at some cybercafe and then Jasmine and I went to watch Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist! Haha it had no plot but it wasn't bad. And there were two really cute guys! Heh. Oh oh and I also got an Athlete CD which has bonus DVD stuff for ten dollars! So awesome. :D
I just died on Runescape because I was blogging and wasn't paying attention! But this awesome person repaired my grave for me so that I could go back and get my stuff! A massive thank you to Kyleen196. :D
Today was emergency Christmas shopping with Eunice and Jane. Haha I didn't get any presents but I did get black skinnies! I'm quite happy, I think this is the first article of clothing I've bought for myself this year. Heh.
Shawn helped me with my Math! Haha I'm very happy about that too. My husband is so useless in comparison, heh.
I didn't really use to like Belle and Sebastian, but I just listened to a bunch of their stuff on Youtube and it's pretty awesome. *hearts*
Merry Christmas!

Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured

I miss bandfest! And Puccini percussion.

I suppose after spending most of five days together, it's inevitable.

I want photos!

I really need to study/ do homework! Failed attempt with Angelia today.

Going out with Daisy tomorrow! (:

Running Up That Hill

Okay I have tons to blog about but obviously not everything is going to make it up here.
I'm tired and I am going to study tomorrow. D:
Bandfest concert was today, it was pretty fun. But then, in hindsight I realised that I did something really stupid, which was to miss the performances of the Verdi and honour band. Well okay maybe missing Verdi's couldn't be helped, but it was really stupid not to watch the honour band. D:
As it happens, my section was taking pictures in the dressing room, from intermission all the way to the end of the concert. I'm pretty amazed by that. Haha I'm still waiting for people to add me and I want the pictures! But I don't seem to be able to open my email right now.
After the concert, went for dinner at Macs. Been eating out for the past few days, and I always always cannot finish my food!! I have to eat anyway but I feel really bad when I don't finish my food. ):
It's going to be so weird not having band tomorrow or seeing the percussion people. Guh. Sleepy.
Okay forget it. I just sort of fell asleep in front of the computer for a while, and Map of the Problematique came on on my ipod and woke me up. Such a good song. *heart*
