Painting

I like painting. I used to do fine arts when I was in high school and I took Arts for an extra subject in my SPM. Mind you, I scored A1, though I have no idea why I can't even lift up a brush these days.

But anyway, that's not what I meant when I said painting in this post. When I said painting, meaning painting the walls. Last Saturday I went to Zahir's to help his family to repaint the house. Yes, the whole house. Before you go, Wow Ayeen paints the whole house?! on me, I should be honest. I didn't. Paint, I mean. All I did was help to tear off the wallpapers from the walls and that was pretty much it actually. What? I don't like painting surfaces bigger than an A3 paper..

I frankly thought it'll be fun. To paint the house with your boyfriend sure does sound fun. But how should I know if it's really fun because I didn't even get to touch the brush. I only had that thing where you use to flatten the cement to scrape off the wallpaper. I had fun nonetheless. To be around great people is always nice! Okay, I think I better admit why I didn't get to paint. I arrived late because Mom and I had to run some errands. Like picking up our Baju Kurungs from the tailor and window shopping :p Shopping IS considered as an errand okay! I arrived at 6pm, so there was nothing much left to do excpt for a few things inside the house. It was almost Maghrib anyway, so I didn't get to even produce a single sweat by the time we stopped for dinner. I was secretly jumping in joy inside when I heard the word 'dinner'. Though scrapping off the wallpaper with Zahir was so much fun but dinner sounds more fun to me.

I was so committed to my work okay. Fine, it wasn't much but still..

After the wallpapers had gone off(which sounds easy but it's not!), we all got ready for dinner. I think I've grown a few muscles on my arms by then.

I was so eager to do the work because it was my first time doing something different with Zahir. It has always been the movies, malls, cafes, malls and malls. It wasn't that bad actually to get sweaty sometimes. Especially when you do something you enjoy doing and with a great company. It's really healthy to be sweaty once in a while :)

I had fun, really. To prove it, I volunteered myself to Zahir's Mom to help again this weekend. See, I'm not just good at shopping. I also happens to know how to scrap wallpapers from the walls. Scraping wallpapers should be a profession too, you know!

Menstruating!

Don't you just hate it when you planned to cut your fingernails before you sleep and the next day you wake up with a stain on your duvet? Or whenever you think you need a hair cut, you have to wait till your period is over? I always have to face these situations. For Muslims, we can't cut our hairs, our fingernails or shave during the time of the month. This is because it's said that we can't discard whatever on our body during our dirty days. But if you really want to get that Rachel Bilson's hair cut ASAP, you can. On one condition though. Collect all the hairs that have been cut out and when you finish your period, you'll have to 'mandi wajib' together with all the hairs. Yeah, I know right. Sounds gross, that's why I'm always patient when it comes to trimming my hair during my period. So if you ever see my hair with split and dry ends, you know that I'm on my period. Speaking of which, I haven't trimmed my ends for so long. No, not because I'm having period THAT long but because I've been lazy to pay the salon a visit.

Frankly speaking, I don't really have problems when my time of the month comes. Except the fact that I'll have period cramps on the first day to the extend that I can't walk properly. I always envy Mom because she never had any of those cramps. She said that people who eat and drink too much ice or cold water will have the cramps(okay, plead guilty!). And there's always PMS. It comes a week before you get your period. So when you feel grumpy the whole time, you might want to get ready. As if the PMS is not enough, your self-esteem goes down too. Most girls will find themselves ugly and fat during their period days. I have to admit, I feel that way too during my time of the month. But these past months, I've been better. I don't feel grumpy all the time and I also don't look down on myself whenever I'm standing in front of my mirror. I don't know how I do it, but I guess I've grown. You should try to look at your good traits rather than your flaws and just fight back. Fight your PMS, fight your insecurities. Trust me, you'll be fine :)

And don't you just hate heavy flows?! Gosh, I always have to face super heavy flow the first day! But thanks to Kotex, I don't have to worry. I can even wear light toned jeans with confidence during my period. I've been using Kotex practically my whole life. I always stock up my Kotex pads like I'll be having my period for ten years and I even use their panty-liners! I should get a reward for the "Best Loyal Customer' or something.


See, guys. Being women is not easy!

Dinner at Fara's

Last December, Fara's brother, Abang Jo got married. I know, I know! Sorry for not posting a post about it. December was such a lazy month for me. Actually, every month is lazy month to me. But anyway, Fara and I were the bridesmaids. I was so honoured that her parents thought of me to play a big role for the most important day of their lives. The wedding went so well, the bride and groom looked so sweet together :)

Last night Fara's Mom prepared a lovely dinner for everyone that helped during the wedding. I was excited because Aunty Azmah's food is always nice! I kept my stomach empty just so I can stuff myself at night. Zahir was invited too since he was one of the bridesmaid(but he's a guy. So does that make him a brides..guy?) too. Zahir could sense how starving I was in the car so he drove so fast. Too fast, in fact, so I asked him.

Me : Why are you rushing? Where do you want to go?

Zahir : Because you're hungry right? I thought you want to be there as fast as you can so you can eat..

I was hungry, but that doesn't mean you can drive like you're in some kind of a race or something. I almost got a heart attack because I don't like driving too fast. Okay, maybe I was whining the whole way about how hungry I was. And maybe Zahir couldn't stand the noise I made in the car that he couldn't wait to get out of the car and shut me up. But seriously, I was really hungry!!

As soon as we arrived, I went straight to the food. I met her parents first of course, then I went to the food. Aunty Azmah cooked Nasi Tomato with all sorts of chickens and beefs and potatoes. I ate them all! You know what's my favourite part? Desserts, of course! I saw Creme Caramel on the dining table and my eyes instantly lit up. Literally! I've been Aunty Azmah's Creme Caramel's fan since I was 14. How can I not lit up when I saw it last night? :p

Fara made Chocolate Shake which I love, complete with the whipped cream an all! She learnt how to make Chocolate Shake from Chili's as she's working there. Ahh, the perks of working in restaurants with nice drinks. I think if I work at Chili's, I'll be an obese by now because giving the chance to learn how to make nice creamy drinks, I'd surely make them every single day. I had a chance to meet Kak Amy, who is Fara's friend and we got to know each other at the wedding. She is really nice and sweet :) And she reads my blog too. *blush*

After eating, I was exhausted and sleepy because I had a hectic day. By 11pm, my eyes were about to quit in front of Fara's flat screen tv, so I told Zahir we should excuse ourselves. It's almost midnight anyway. I don't want to worry Mom and Dad at home. We said our goodbyes and I almost fell asleep in the car but I restrained. When I arrived home, Mom was fast asleep on the couch, waiting for me. I woke her up to let her know I'm home and kissed her good night. I removed my make up and washed up, climbed into my bed and.. I can't remember what happened next. Maybe because I fell asleep the second I landed my head on my pillows!

Happy Birthday!!

For the last 19 years of my life, I've been celebrating a birthday every 25th February. Cakes, hand made cards, cupcakes, candles, presents.. My family and I had never missed out from celebrating this day.

It's 25th February today but I don't see any balloons or cake anywhere. It's because it's my eldest brother's birthday. He's turning 22 today. I would be busy choosing what flavour would the cake be this year or I would be in book stores, choosing coloured papers to make a card for him.. if he's actually here. My brother flew off to study Bio-Technology in California end of last year(I know right, imagine all the stores he can go everyday!!) and this year is the first year he's not here for his birthday. His absence affected me so much already and today, it affects me more. I never thought I would miss him this much. I feel so bad that we're not there with him on the day he turns a year older.

I'm most close to my brother among my other siblings. Not that I'm not close to the others but my brother is the one I turn to whenever I have problems and I would go knocking on his bedroom door whenever I feel like no one understands me because he always know what to say to make me laugh. We both share our deepest darkest secrets with each other. But of course, we bicker over small stuffs. That's what siblings do after all but we always end up saying sorry to each other and get along well right after that. Before he left for California, we had this fight over something really really small. I was so angry that I told myself that I won't go to the airport to send him off. I was so sure I didn't want to be there to see him go because I was being such a brat. The next day, I was crying like it's nobody's business in KLIA right before he went off. That's just how things work between us. No matter how nasty the words we throw to each other or how bad we fight, we know that we both love each other. I'm so close to him because we're just two years apart and when I was born, he was the one who took care of me. Though pulling the pillow from under my head when I was sleeping in my blanket does not count as taking care, but to him it was. He was 2 when I was born, so to him it was so sweet of him to carry me around when he couldn't even walk properly. My parents think it's dangerous but to me, that's sweet. A warm welcome from a brother the second I saw the world? Who doesn't want that, right? So anyway, our lives revolved around each other for years and we had four years to play with each other without anyone interfering before my sister came into the picture. We play together even when I had a Barbie in my hands and he had guns and robots in his. We somehow will make things work even if the things were the opposite.

Thank God for the invention of Skype, my family and I can at least talk to him while looking at his face. At least we can see he's doing well there. I skype-d with him the other day when my family was out. That was when he told me everything that happened there, how he ended up being someone's boyfriend and how he was doing in his studies. Just looking at his face on the computer screen made me want to tear up. Yes, he was in front of me but I couldn't touch him. A hug is definitely out of the picture. So all I could do was just stare and listened intently to his stories.

Okay before I create a pool of my own tears here, I better stop reminisce about all the stuffs we did together and whatnot. It's just so sad how we can't celebrate his birthday together this year :( Hope your friends and girlfriend will make your birthday a blast for you this year. Happy 22nd Birthday, Abang. I miss you!!

Gymnastics

I grew up taking up ballet classes and ballet was my life. I loved ballet because my coach loved me. Nahh, I loved ballet because I just love to dance and be all graceful. But the part where my coach loved me is one of the reasons too :p Up until today, I regret quitting. I shouldn't, I know. I made a decision without thinking and I was 12, I didn't know better. My room was full with ballet stuffs. From mattresses, to curtains, to pillows. All were ballet-concept.

I went to SJK(C) Serdang Baru (2) to accompany Mom today for a gymnastic competition. Mom's a teacher, so her task was to bring a student to compete. I have to admit, I miss ballet so much. Watching them point their toes, how they straighten their necks when they walk.. I even thought of taking ballet again! But I know that's impossible because ballet is something you have to start when you were little. So you can get use to the movements and your bones will soften while you were young. There are a lot of differences between ballet and gymnastics but I can't help but to reminisce on the good old days where I have to go to class every Saturday with my body suit, black flair skirt and soft pink ballet flats with a tight bun on top of my head. Those were good memories. I enjoyed it so much that I passed my exams with flying colours! I still remember the last exam I did, I achieved an Honours which was like scoring 10A's in your SPM in ballet world. I was so happy that I turned out to quit the whole thing after that. Doesn't make any sense, isn't? Back then, ballet was not something that is acceptable by the public. Only certain people understands ballet but I was stupid to listen to all the bad things people say when they saw me performed on the school's stage. I did Beauty & Beast which I thought was so nice, Mom choreographed the whole thing and I wore my rainbow tutu. I felt so pretty and graceful but most of the people in school was too retarded to accept my performance. They said ballet is stupid. I was furious but I was a little kid! I would jump from the third floor if someone says that will make me smarter. So I quitted :(

The girls were so cute with the ribbon and everything. And my favourite part was of course, their gorgeous dresses! With all those glitters and the colours were so bright! There were 12 girls competing and only one little girl caught my eyes!!

Her name was Izzah. Mom and I were so obsess with her throughout the competition that we even talked to her Dad. She started ballet at 4 and proceeded with gymnast after. When the results came out, Izzah achieved three golds, technically won the whole competition. She won first place!! Zahir fetched Mom and I up after congratulating Izzah and her Dad.

We had lunch at Serai at Empire. it was our first time and the food was okay. Their Pavlola looked really good, too bad I was too full from eating my Thai fried rice that I couldn't eat desserts. Will make self note to try their Pavlova next time. When we arrived home, Mom and I were like zombies. Okay, fine, mostly me. I was tired and sleepy but the whole day was a good experience. Plus, I got to spend my time with Mom. It's been so long since I've been busy with college. So it was all worth it :)

Nice brows!

Fara and I went to get our brows done today. It was Fara's first time and I think she looks great with her new brows. Apparently her boyfriend is not on the same page. Fara was really happy that her brows are more appealing now. But poor girl, she had to bear with the comments from her boyfriend. But the worst comment is this,

"The ugliest eyebrows I've ever seen", he said.

Give the girl a break, it was her first time! Honestly, there's nothing wrong with her new brows. I totally adore them. They're so much better than the previous ones. Maybe he was just playing around but hey, brows are important to me. I would snap if MY boyfriend said that to me. So, Zahir...

We didn't plan to meet actually but since my brows are getting a little bit haywire up there, I decided to go fix them up. I remembered Fara telling me she'd never tried threading before and she was kind of interested to try, I straight away BBM-ed her when I was still in class. Luckily our class ended at the same time today. And I'm glad I chose today to go because my brows turned out pretty great than my previous visits. I only go to this one place in Taipan called Neeta's every time I need help to sort my brows out. But today, a different lady was in charge because the one who always does my brows was on MC. After this new woman, Selvi, was done with my brows, I fell in love with her!! Okay, not literally but you get what I mean right? My brows always turned out to be so thin or the right is not the same shape as the left and sometimes I even cried of pain when I pay them a visit. Not today though. Selvi was very good, not a single hint of pain and she's so friendly! I straight away asked her name so I can book her next time I call for an appointment.

See my brows? So not balanced and messy, I don't even know how I can go out in public like that for a couple months -___-'

I don't know if you guys can see any difference but if you really focus, there ARE differences :p

While I was calm and happy, Fara was struggling in that tiny room. She couldn't sit still because it was her first time. I would just walk away and leave her there pretending I didn't know her if I don't love her as much as I do. She moved too much that Selvi accidentally pulled the string too hard and caused Fara's eyelid to bleed a little. She insisted it didn't hurt though.

I'm so happy because it's my first time walking out of the salon without any problems with my brows. So I figured Selvi (and my new brows) deserves one whole post in my blog!

Formspring

I grew up in an environment where everyone hates me. No, I'm not being dramatic nor am I asking for sympathy. It's true, during my first 3 years of high school, I lived in my own life which consisted of my girlfriends and whoever I was crushing on at that time. And that's it. I didn't care what people think of us, I didn't care what the teachers have to say about us, I basically didn't care about anything except my pathetic life. Of course, at that time I thought my life was the coolest. My girls and I would strut the corridors in school like we own the school. And of course, everyone hated us. Maybe because we were too loud or maybe because we didn't mix around with other people. Who knows the exact reason but we knew we have the whole school hating on us but we couldn't care less. We really thought we were too cool for school but the fact is, we were so lame -____-

As I grow up, I started to realise why people hate us so much. We didn't care about other people's feelings and we did all kinds of things that will annoy normal people. I would hate me too, frankly speaking. If someone were to ask me why did I become that person back in high school, I would say that I was naive. I didn't know any better and I chose the wrong circle of friends. I'm still friends with one of them up until now, which is Fara. Yes, Fara used to be with us too but we both grew up to be someone sane and wise enough to leave it all behind us. Fara and I were so close to our families and I know that was the reason why we could pull ourselves back from that circle. Our families made us realise the things we did were stupid. So at 16, I chose my friends properly. I pushed away the girls that used to be apart of my life and boy it wasn't easy! We were too close back then, so they started to get confuse why I didn't talk to them anymore. Only Fara knew the truth. As much as it hurts, I had to. It's for my own good. I was kind of proud of myself that I can think wisely. Felt like a grown up already :p I started to be friends with people who take their studies seriously but can joke around at the same time. That was when I realised, I want to change to a better person.

So during my last 2 years of high school I got to cleaned my name among the teachers and students. Some of them got really weirded out by how much I've changed. I was so happy that I didn't have any haters! (Not that I know of at least!)

Until the day I created a Formspring account last year.

I created that account because Fara had one. I thought it'll be fun to answer all sorts of questions thrown at you. Wrong. Until today, I couldn't believe the fact that I still have haters even though I've changed, A LOT. If you compare me in high school and me right now, you'll have the shock of your life to see two very different people with the same physical appearance minus the extra kgs and skin tone(I was so fat and dark back then! Hee). I don't know where I gained these haters but I convinced myself that I was strong. No need to be a cry baby and whine about how I hate my life because someone hates me. Okay, fine. I admit I whined a little :p But Zahir woke me up and made me tougher. Not physically of course. I can't imagine myself with all those muscles..

Zahir made me tougher, mentally.

I dealt with those questions as if like I didn't whine about it before.

I was totally cool when I received this first hate mail.

But I lost my cool when they replied this. I can't tolerate people cursing like this. Grow up -___-

By the third question, I managed to laugh. I realised how stupid these people are, to waste their time criticising people just to make that person feel bad about themselves.

I'm so curious why would people make time for these things? Maybe they are jealous with your life, maybe they don't have a family as perfect as yours, maybe your house is bigger than theirs, maybe they don't have friends as caring as your friends. You know, it could be anything that you have that they don't. That's why they tend to make you feel so bad about yourself and your life because to their eyes, your life is perfect and their's are not. They want you to lose your confidence so that you wouldn't feel so good about your life. And it depends on the victim on whether or not they can survive all these criticisms, whether or not they can fight back and whether or not they can stand strong.

Because in life, people will always envy each other for what others have. Some of us have the courage to bring that person down (ie. that anonymous who attacked my Formspring) or we can carry on with our lives and work harder to achieve what we don't have. Because really, what good does it bring if you attack someone's life? What will you get from all the cursing? You won't be any richer, and you certainly won't get a raise from your boss. And the worst part is, they go as anonymous. So, your life is not perfect, you act like you're 6, you attack someone and you're a chicken too? Grow up and get real, haters. We know you feel bad about yourself but instead of making others feel bad about themselves too, why don't you push away the green eyed monster in you and make your life better.

So to those who've been attacked by anonymous, stay strong because know that they do that because your life is perfect to their eyes. And to those who don't think they can take criticism, don't create a Formspring account.

It's that simple.

Friends with benefits

My dad asked me to book tickets for a movie. A movie that I promised Fara I won't watch without her. It would be rude if I said no to Dad right? (Actually Dad wanted to go with Mom alone, but being busybody as I am, I insisted on tagging along and Dad couldn't do anything since I was the one who booked the tickets :p ) Oh, I forgot to mention the title of the movie! Someone smack me in the head please! It was No Strings Attached. Seeing how my lovely boyfriend, Ashton Kutcher is in it, I was excited. I didn't even read the synopsis before we went out like I always do. But hey, anything with Ashton Kutcher MUST be great to watch right?

We had some complications and an incident that made us burned a ticket. Since the tickets were paid by Dad's credit card via online and Dad turned out to not join us, we had no other choice but to just throw away the extra ticket. Actually, we had a choice. Mom suggested we invite Wie to join us since he works at Sunway Pyramid. So we went to Island Shop and asked him whether he's free. But turned out, he had other plans with his colleagues. Bummer! So there you go, a seat.. wasted. It's a good thing that a ticket just costs about RM14. Mom, Nina and I bought hot dogs to eat in the cinema since we were starving. In case you're wondering, yes we did buy from the cinema's food counter, not from other restaurants. I seriously don't get why people sneaks in McDonald's or any food that they obviously did not buy from the cinema's food counter itself. I always think those people are low mentality people. Back to the story, we arrived at the cinema on time. And I had to sit next to a stranger. I always fight for the middle seat, like in between whoever I go to the movies with. Or whenever I go with Zahir alone, I will insist on sitting next to the wall or the stairs. I don't know why but sitting besides strangers in the dark doesn't occur to me as safe nor comfortable. I feel so awkward to be that near to someone I don't know and in the dark some more! But today, maybe I was too excited and because when we arrived, there wasn't anybody sitting next to me, so I assumed no one had bought that seat. Then this whole gang of Malay teens came and apparently, one of them ended up sitting next to me. And he was a guy! Ughhh. I shifted here and there to feel comfortable but failed miserably. Mom sensed my awkwardness and offered me to switch places but the movie had started and I didn't want to be a brat, so I just said, 'no, it's okay', pretending to act tough. What Mom didn't know was, I was so not okay! :( I don't know what's wrong with me but I really really don't like sitting next to strangers in the dark. Especially when he smells like cigarettes, he cursed while watching the movie and he leaned so far to the right, which was on my side, by the way. So I had to leaned towards MY right, so we won't be too close. I had to sit up straight in a position that I wasn't comfortable with the whole movie just because I was sitting next to a stranger. This does not imply to only guys, but I tend to get uncomfortable sitting next to girls too in the dark.

Okay, now something about the movie..

It was actually rated 18PL but Mom and I sneaked Nina in. I have no idea why would they rate it 18PL when they already cut out the scenes that are not meant for kids to see. But it was great nonetheless! The story line was nice and it was such a sweet movie. I told you, nothing could go wrong in a movie if Ashton Kutcher's in it. I couldn't stop thinking about his broad body. Omg, drools! Don't get me started with his face..

Overall, I will definitely watch this movie again. I'll drag Zahir to watch it since we haven't been to the movies together for so long already. And now that Ashton Kutcher is in one of the 'Now Showing', why not?

Two thumbs up, except the fact that my back hurts from sitting like a statue in the movie.

PS : Mom bought the wedges that I wanted from Charles & Keith! It's a bummer that Mom's size is two sizes smaller than mine. I know I'm like gigantic compared to my Mom. You don't have to rub it in my face, thankyouverymuch.

PSS : Btw, why is it so hard to find a decent piece of peterpan collared chiffon blouse nowadays? :(

She's a keeper

After so long, finally Fara and I planned our sleepover! Properly, this time as we don't want our plans to go down the drain like it always does. Since I'm always busy with assignments, classes and family and Fara's always busy with either work, her boyfriend or her Mom, we couldn't really make time for each other. We always go for a quick lunch or dinner but didn't really have the time to spend the whole night together. But last Tuesday, we decided to throw away all those things for a while to spend time with each other. Because we love each other too much!

Fara and I have found our own hang out place, where every time one of us invited the other for dinner, lunch or sometimes just for desserts, we'll know where to go.

Me : Desserts?

Fara : Let's! Upstairs?

Me : See you there!

Always the same conversation.

So when we planned this sleepover, we figured it wouldn't be fun if we didn't pay Upstairs Cafe a visit. And yes, we went just to have their Creme Brule and Brownies which are the best ever! That explains why their Brownies were sold out and it was only 7pm!! Now, you have to know that they open at 3pm. Which means it was only 4 hours and the brownies were already finished? You have got to try it and you'll know why its sold out after only 4 hours. However, we still ordered our favorite of all time, Creme Brule! I brought my sister, Nina along and Nina being the sweet tooth she is, almost cried when she found out brownies were finished. We somehow moved on and had Creme Brule, Quiche and some chocolate thingy which I don't know what it's called.

Seriously, you've got to try these!

See those drinks? It's Chocolate Chip Cream. I hope it's not rude to say this but.. it's so much better than Starbuck's and it only costs you about RM8.50.

After finishing off the last bits of our desserts, we went back to my place. Zahir, Nazrin and Razin were on their way to my place too as we planned to go swimming together, all of us :) Nazrin and Fara were so excited to the extend that they went to Toys R Us and bought a ball to play in the pool. Those two are so cute!
Razin's photo isn't here because he was the photographer. Seeing how Fara and Nazrin, Zahir and I are couples, he had to bare with us. After swimming, we neglected the guys and went for dinner at Chili's. Nina, Fara and I dressed ourselves up that night even though we know it's not necessary but just for the fun of it. It's been so long since we all last go out together and doll up ourselves. We were late, and we know there were nobody to impress since our boyfriends didn't tag along and the stores were already closed by then, but who cares? We felt good about ourselves at that's what matters. We we rushing and by the time we arrived at Chili's it was 10.30pm and Chili's was closing in half an hour. Thank God Fara works there, so she called the manager first hand to let him know we were coming. Phewww!

It felt so good to just have a quite dinner with good foods and even better companies. We just sat and relaxed and it was as if nothing can go wrong and I could see that we were all so comfortable with each other. This is why I love going out with Fara and Nina. Every time we're out together, we can be ourselves, without the awkwardness.

I just ♥ them so much!

We ended our day with a long talk together with my mom and Zahir at the living room. I woke up the next day with a headache and a fever. I had fun nonetheless. It was totally worth it!

Benefit

I've been lazy. Yet again. I have reasons though. During the one week of Chinese New Year holidays, I worked. Yes, you heard me. I WORKED. For one whole week, without any off day. I don't know what had gotten into me but since Benefit just opened in Sunway Pyramid, I figured, why not? Some of you might know that I've worked with Benefit for about a month or so during my break before I started my Degree. I worked at Benefit in Metrojaya in Midvalley. Yes, I traveled that far and went through the killer traffics just to get to work. So when Benefit opened in Sunway, which is 100th times nearer to my house, I went for it. The manager, James, knows I've worked with benefit before so he called me and agreed to let me work.

So, the night before I started working, I was so lazy and cursed at myself silently for putting myself into that situation. To dread myself everyday to go to work and all. Turned out, the first day wasn't that bad. The staffs and supervisor in Sunway were more fun and friendlier than the ones who worked in Midvalley. So I started to enjoy my work!

I thought I've forgotten everything about the products and how to treat the customers but hey, I did not. I won't say I did so good, but at least I know what to do every time a customer asked me to apply Benetint on their cheeks or when a customer asked me to do smokey eyes on her or what shade of two-way-cake is suitable for their skin. And proud to say, I still remember their prices. Though I'm sure the reason why I remember the prices is because I'm actually using Benefit's products :p

My supervisor is a Chinese, so she took a week off. And guess who she put in charge of the counter while she was away celebrating Chinese New Year? Yes, you've guessed it. Me! There were four of us working the whole week and the three girls just started working with Benefit. So they were not really familiar with the products and the prices. When there wasn't any customer, I taught them a little about the products, the prices, what does the make up base does, what's the function of That Gal and a bunch of other stuffs. I had so much fun with them working that I didn't want to stop on my last day. They always crack me up with stupid and dirty jokes!

I think I'm going to consider working again during my 5 months of holidays this mid year :)
