Hey how's work?
After the first two days working in QV, the boss loved me and the music in my ipod and wants me for long term :p However, I still think the pay is shit for going all the way there and do the variety of things I have to do everyday.
The list includes: washing huge stacks of big oily containers and buckets, cutting huge bag of bread and packing them into twos, sweep the floor, wipe everything the customer can see, prepare serviettes and spoons into bags, fold lunch boxes, prepare all the lunch sandwiches,
and while I'm doing all this I have to spontaneously serve customers, take orders, handle cash, take charge of toaster and soup area.
She said she would only have me off trail when I can handle everything alone; which means open/close the shop by myself (probably after 1~2months) =__=;;
But that's not the dodgiest part, it's when she said "I also want to pay students 12, 13/hr cash-in-hand, cos I know you need money, but I also need you to be able to replace me without supervision..." and I was like thinking to myself "wow...that's....cheap..."
I wonder why is it always so dodgy when it comes to working for Chinese, no matter what kind of shop it is?

Mockingbird Season: What is psychoanalysis?
A student asked his professor one day "Professor, what exactly is science?"
The professor thought for a while and said "Science is like trying to find a black cat in a dark room."
A few weeks later, the student came to the professor again and asked "What is philosophy, professor?"
"Well," said the professor after thinking for a while, "Philosophy is like trying to find a black cat in a dark room, when there really isn't a black cat."
On the last day of school, the student came to his professor. "So professor, what do you think psychoanalysis is?" he asked.
The professor smiled and said "Psychoanalysis is like trying to find a black cat in a dark room, when there really isn't a black cat, but you found one anyway...."

Owl season: I seldom remember my dreams, but this one gave me the SIT UP!
So I was in a small room with a girl. Can't remember who she was, can't remember what we did exactly... But I do remember the yellow lighting and a presence of another person who later left the room. We were sitting on the carpet or something. The girl was facing me when I saw a spider behind her. It looked kind of small at first, but gradually became bigger the more I looked at it! I alerted the girl when I recognised the red spot on the spider's back, because that's one of Australia's deadliest eight-legs. By the time she noticed it, it was already palm size! And for some reason, I couldn't move at all...
So the girl got up and came back with a roll of sticky tape in her hand. Yes, she was going to use that to try and catch the spider...-__-;; I was absolutely anxious seeing her clumsy moves toward the spider. There were so many times that the spider dodged from her attacks and almost landed on her arm. I was just so pissed that I could only be the audience to this frustrating scene.
The spider was making this really inorganic sound of crawling, the tapping of its legs on the wall was extremely loud and crisp. I could feel the creeping sound streaming into my ears and pumped up into the million goosebumps on my skin, and it shouldn't be surprising that I have slowly turned from the audience to the victim. It had started crawling towards me! It got so close I could feel its hairy legs on my arm, and that's when I sat up in shock. I struggled for a few seconds thinking the spider was on my bed until reality slowly pushed me back to consciousness.
My friend told me to draw a rooster and stick it near my bed, claiming that it helps keeping crawlies away. I could hear myself laughing at the idea! Hahahahaha...haha....ha...*cough...
Rooster rooster on the wall, keep the crawlies off the tour!

Owl season: Duck-rabbit
Finally decided to buy it, and the first page I flipped to showed...
Definition...
Learning my first new word from the dictionary, I realised how small my bank of vocabulary is...
Owl season: What's small and annoying?
About a week ago, our Marshall kitchen was invaded by an infinite army of fruit flies. These little buggers multiplied themselves quickly in an undiscovered breeding ground which I scratched my head and couldn't figure out where.
At their reproduction rate, I'm sure they 'do it' on the first date!
Jon's insect zapper was proved to be useful at first, but after a few massacres, they actually learnt how to dodge! And most of them hid away when the zapper was around, and about an hour later, I'd find even more of them sticking around...
It got worse each day, not even the new covered dustbin that Peter (my landlord) bought could keep them away. At a desperate moment like this, it was time for us to turn to the almighty Google for help! By that, we set up traps and got rid of the source, and no more fruit flies!
Here's one of those end-of-issue discussions in the form of SMS dialogue between me and Sim (my house mate):
S: Omg i pity the fruit flies..... O.o in order not to waste their existence, why not use them to make something useful like turning them into a fruit pie.
R: Good idea, just make sure you're the only consumer of the 'fruit' pie before you commence baking.
S: No i have a better idea. Just put the pie on the dining table . Our house rat will take care of it. (she's referring to our landlord, it's an in-house joke)
R: That scenario is perfectly logical.
S: Wow. I am amazed by my intelligent scheming. I should forward this conversation to jon. Rofl
End.

Owl season: Why was it an awesome night yesterday?
First of all, Ip Man 2 wasn't disappointing.
Then, thanks to Carol, I was invited to a steamboat house party after the movie.
Getting all excited after watching Ip Man 2...
Carol: Taste my armour of invisible spikes!
Toby: Arhhh, I thought they were only one-inch long!?
Carol: Duh! They can expand at my will.
Toby: Who cares about that now, the pot is ready! :P
No, we didn't finish all of this by the three of us, more unknown
characters are yet to be revealed...
So that wraps up for my night of awesomeness. Met new friends and had great fun, the Owl Season is awesome again! :D
Bruce Lee: Duh, he's my master!

Owl season: May
Yes, that time of the semester is approaching again! Seven assignments in a row, followed by two tests and exams. I'm sure everyone has heard these complaints from university students over and over again, I guess a peek at my timetable beats all words.
Lets take a closer look starting from all things bright and beautiful...
Then blues clues showing signs...
To the red alert region of where I am now...
Let the rest speak for themselves...
Being a second-year student, I'm well aware of the process. Instead of arranging my time more efficiently and work hard, I got myself a full set of equipments to go through it with me...
Yes, that is the new translucent Powerade XVXX not water...

Lets start the night with no lights
The lights are off because I thought darkness would hide me from shameful and unpleasant moments...
