Cats And Sex

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Today, it has been confirmed by a some-what professional (my uncle who adores cats but isn't qualified as a vet yet reads enough about cats) that my cat is indeed pregnant again. Best part is, he says shes been pregnant for quite some time already and should be giving birth soon.

Mom and I are totally pissed off at her for getting herself pregnant again AND we're giving her the silent treatment now. I refuse to layan my cat for a week for being so promiscuous. What is her problem? My neighbours have got two cats (who are both female) and they don't get pregnant. Why can't she stop being such a ditsy slut and let some random cat just stick it in?

Oh goodness, now in a few weeks time we'll have a whole new set of kittens to deal with. All the cleaning and closing of doors (to keep them from scratching and peeing everywhere). Its going to be so annoying taking care of these soon-to-come rascals.

Not to forget, we already have two adolescent kittens to deal with presently in addition to the ones that are about to come. What if Fox decides to take after her mother and become the next neighbourhood whore? Oh My goodness.

Thats it, screw the pain. I shall suggest to Mom and Dad to neuter all the female cats since none of the family can keep the penises of the neighbourhood out of their behinds. Its time to take some action.

And I am very pleased that it is raining again. It's making me feel so comfartable this cool weather.

Opinions Are Like Assholes, Everyone's got One

I'm spending yet another boring day at home, doing nuts and watching television, while everyone else is out there making something out of life. I even started practicing my organ so frequently I'm now able to play my arrangements flawlessly. So you can imagine how MUCH time I have.

So in the spirit of killing my boredom, I joined this open chat thing with my neighbours at the park. No I'm serious, I know it sounds totally "Desperate Housewive"-y; but it's true. We have a chat group around my area. It's mainly old geezers, old women, really really young kids and erm.. really really young kids. Heck, I think I was the only one there going through the teen-adult crisis.

Basically, all these people talk about are their children. The old geezers complain less and praise more, and the old women... well they're old women, so you can expect alot of bitching on their part.

"Aiyah, My Son arh ask me go for blood test arh! So mah fan dunwan go!" *in canton*
" Good lar, at least he cares, mine doesn't even ask me for blood" *in canton*
" Aiyoh, blood only marh I gave soo many times! As long never ask money!" *in canton*

*everyone giggles*

" Whats wrong with asking money? My son still stays with me. I think its okay to give money, whats so funny ?? " *in canton*

Note that the old geezer's son still stays WITH him. Not he stays with his son. My god, what a loser. The old geezer is probably about 75 years old and his son is probably in his thirties (my guess). Isn't it like about time to move out already?

But then again it's just my opinion; and they're like assholes. Everyone's got one.

fana, aida me and lisa

Sigh I miss chatting with people from my age like my besties. We don't bitch about children and how they mistreat us. We bitch about parents and friends who are mistreating us. At least I can relate to that. I mishhhh you guys so so very much.

PS : Happy Birthday Lee-sah! You know I love you!

Hard disk failure

After this post, this blog would have seen two deaths, the first was Yong Ming's cat and the second, is my hard disk. Yes, I think my hard disk has lived out its remaining lifespan. It was already faulty a few months back but now it has become unaccessible, I hope not, indefinitely. I feel so stupid for not doing anything back then when I still could access it. Well actually I did, I disconnected the hard drive, but I didn't disconnect the power plug to it, so maybe because of that I had still give it room to deteriorate. I should have backed up at least my files when I had to chance to. Now its probably hopeless. Though it hasn't hit me yet, but I think there will be a day when it comes to me that I lost all of my most precious digital possession, that which by losing has a severe impact on my physical well being, they were that important, however like I said, it hasn't hit me yet so I don't know. I can only just hope and pray somehow I'll get an idea how to maneuver myself out of this mess.

I think since I'm already blogging I'll might as well update you all about the horror that was Valentine's Day.

I suppose it was "ok". Lol, surprised? Well I think it has a lot to do with how I approach it. I suppose I was quite prepared and didn't expect it to be anything less than hell so I suppose that kept my attitude and mood in check. But to describe the overall scene of that day, it was seriously horrific. It was jammed pack. Before 8pm, we were already full, top to bottom. We constantly got our hands full, at least for us who were at the topmost floor. Personally, I was so occupied that I didn't even have time to go check on drinks, set tables. I can only recall myself taking orders that night.

But of course on a night like that night, shit was bound to happen, and it most definitely did, but it was somehow not as worse as some other shits that happen before. This time, I wrote the wrong table number on the credit card slip. The result of this was that one table had their bill cleared without paying while the original bill for that customer has not been cleared yet. But that was settled and I hope it doesn't have any future repercussions. Another mistake was when I accidentally sent my colleague to a wrong table, which caused some trouble caused the kitchen has sent out the food already and I have absolutely no idea where they went or whether they had received it or not. But since there weren't any repercussions, I assumed it's settled, though I apologize to my manager,colleague and guests for the stupid mess ups.

Oh well that's all. Sorry if I disappointed those who were looking forward to a full page of complaints but what I typed out is the plain truth. I was surprised myself but overall it went quite well. My only disappointment was it didn't surpass the old record of RM29k++ made during one of the past years. So lol, thats it basically. Well if you don't mind I hope you guys could also pray for me and my hard disk as well, which I would deeply appreciate. Thank you so much for reading and the prayers if any, hope to see you all again soon.

Bye Bai Fridays

Yes like Cheeks said, I am leaving FRidays for good today. Its quite depressing actually (especially the way Cheeks put it), I'll definately miss the place. Spending a whole two months slaving away there wasn't the most pleasant memory I'd say I have.

Plus, before I left today, the guys shagged me and threw me into the HUGE dusbin behind. AND poured mustard water (with God knows what inside) on me..

BUT I still feel so so berat hati. If you know what I mean.

To everyone that I met in FRidays.

Vernon, Kugan, Shikin, Priscila, Naif, Noel, Sumitha, Mark, Roland, Babu, Rakib, Wai Meng, Joanne, Andrew, Sutha, Babul, Arjun, Chandra, Suresh, Nowell, Sukhvin, Dasheni, Balvinder, Rozali, Azimi, Tatchana, Eva, Nicole, Katrina, Rachel, Daniel, Mike, Alwyn, Dennis, Shamni, Santin, all the BOH people!~~, Dean, Daniel, Delaila and of course MR. JAMES!

I love you guys alot, you've taught me so much I could never learn from school. Especially those from foreign countries. You've made me realise how lucky I am throughout these two months.

My single biggest regret working there is that I didn't take any pictures with you guys. Honest.


But I did manage to swipe just this one picture. Sigh, I'll miss being a SPG there. Bye bye guys!~

2.5 divided by 3

Tomorrow (techinically today, 20th February 2008) marks the final day of Yong Ming's career as a T.G.I Friday's frontline officer. I hate to admit it, but I have to because I seriously am going to miss the guy. Friday's was the glue that held our relationship as friends together as we get to see each other almost everyday, sharing the same joy and pain. But now he has to leave to pursue his own path and its really a sad reality for me especially. Not only I'll miss him, but I'll lose a pillar that I could lean on at work(not literally, lol).

Well its just the fact that after he leaves, it also means that now all the three of the Two and a Half Men are pursuing their individual paths. Once we said that this blog seemed only belonged to both of us was solely because of the reason that Jit Yang wasn't able to blog often due to NS. However, I know after tomorrow, this blog will also see some major changes as well.

But putting the sad things aside, I just wanna say thank you to Ming who had decided to find work together with me, which is really a boost. It's almost as rare as a miracle to have a close friend working in the same place as you so I'm really really grateful. You probably don't know what you mean to me(not in that way ok XD) but I just wanna let you know I really appreciate your companionship throughout this 2 months.

Well I hope the things I typed out above was able to flatter Ming enough haha. In case you're wondering, all that I said is above is 101.00% true, honest.

To those who syioked sendiri by trying to count what is 2.5 divided by 3, the answer is 0.833333~~~. Haha well, this was not just some fancy title I thought of, but the true meaning behind it is that now that the two and half men are separated and following their own paths, the future holds infinite possibilities and that just means we won't know what will happen or what to expect but I pray by God's grace that we will end up not being screwed up to say the least haha. So to my other 1 and a half men, I wish you all the best and hope that you will stay true to the blog! ( We might just have some loyal fans who wish to hear from us once in a while XD).

Nothing is over till its over!

Oh my oh my, today(15th feb) must have gotta be the most enlightening of days, or maybe I'm just taking the positive out of what seems to be a petty event that happened.

But as pathetic as it maybe, the wise words of my comrade in NS, the one and only Heart Break Kid himself, Sam Ye Han, rings through my mind. He said,

"Don't give up. Nothing is over till its over!"

and that is the lesson I learned today, rational perseverance.

How you ask?

Well one the words I would start things off with would be, dulan. Why? Well try losing 10 straight games of DOTA, each humiliatingly beaten in the most well humiliating way(one of which the opponents had rushed into our fountain and totally screwed it up and then camp inside our spawn point to wait for us to spawn out and feed as free kills, aka food). Well yea it was so bad till that point, ask Ming, he would give you the enthusiasm I lack to spice up this post. Like I said, 10 straight games. I was at a point of numbness, I didn't care I just wanted to spend my off day thats all lol, but yea it just had to happen. Nearing almost another losing game, I decided to take a bath, which I haven't took since 12pm the day before to so call "wash off the bad chi". After a stint in the shower, I came back rather refreshed and looking forward to get thrashed yet again.

After a some hassle in trying to join games since none of us could host, we finally got into the game and my oh my wasn't the host impatient, he( i assume is a he ) didn't even bother to do the usual countdown before starting the game. So bla bla loading screen and all, game starts. Not exactly the most exciting of heroes, KOTL. Bla bla I'll just skip to the good bit.

60 minutes into the game, was when the miracle started to happen. Fair enough both sides had 1 leaver each but it was clear the Sentinel were looking good to take the win. But some how, just somehow, I don't know how, we managed to defend. 4 racks down, 2 left with no tower protecting it, we were hanging by a thread. I was at point of simply spamming illuminate and nothing because I just felt so lost. But my teammates persevered so we had to.

10 minutes then passed. We still got our hands full with protecting the throne from wave after wave of maxed out creeps and not to mention once in a while a hero will slip in and cause extra havoc. It didn't help that most of them were pretty 'fat' already.

20 minutes passed. One really morale boosting incident happened whereby cheng hong double killed 2 heroes on their godlike spree, which meant 2k gold on the spot. We were having doubts and I even dare pop up the question whether if we could win? No one dared to give a reassuring answer, but hope was there. We defended superbly, we kept our game up and got ourselves fat as well. Ming amazed me with a really good built of his rooftrellen. It didn't help that when we decided to backdoor them, cheng hong died and dropped his divine rapier. Kudos to you mate, but he had enough moolah to make another one on the spot. Phew..

30minutes passed. This point we were just defending as if it were nothing. We had some difficulties in between but we managed. We persevered so much till the point that our opponents literally gave up. Yea, they gave up, seriously. We decided to push the final lane and destroy their tree and really they just gave up, they didn't defend at all. So.. we won....

Lol, I suppose 99% of this post probably sounds like gibberish to most of you. But I posted it either way because I think it describes perfectly the hurdles that one has to face when they are in troublesome circumstances. We were up against colossal odds, and similarly, in life ultimately, we would face impossible tasks that seem like it would break us. But let me tell you, if you are ever faced with such circumstances, don't give up, nothing is over till its over. The road ahead will always have some bumps hidden somewhere but its important that you pick yourself up and keep on going. I don't want to be hypocritical by saying maybe somethings are better to be just given up and moving on but you still have to be rational. As long as you stay as who you are, you will not lose sight of what is important, you'll know what's right.

It was great to have such great teammates like Hong, Ming Han and Ming who were also working their butts off, even when I literally gave up, their persistence was my inspiration to also keep going. This tells me that company is really important, good company. Family and friends are the perfect example. These are the precious gems in your life that keeps you going when you are down, even if you think that they may not be able to help, they could and if they are true, the WILL help so don't assume and pretend to be macho man by taking the world on by yourself.

I don't know really to what extend this post might help anyone. Some of you might be starting to get sucked into college life, cramming up all those assignments and meeting deadlines, maybe some are encountering even harder more harsher realities of life, don't give up, persevere, its worth it. Even maybe some of you maybe just doing just fine, but if one day you're even in shit, just remember don't give up.

Coming to the end of this post, my resolve is still rather shaky, but I understand that giving up shouldn't be an option, and you all should too. Giving your all is what counts. Even if means only 0.01% to the world, it counts, and if you gave your all, how could anyone asked anymore of you?

Thats for today, this is more than what I expected to post but I don't care really XD. Ming said this blog kinda feels like it only belongs to both of us ONLY, but I quickly reassure him that we would see Jit Yang back in action on the keyboards in a month's time so keep it tuned. Oh if you're wondering why I posted this before I posted anything about Valentine's day, its just because I had more steam about this than Valentine's so I decided to save it for next time. But as a sneak peek, I would describe Valentine's Day as.. I was right. It was definitely interesting but I'll save it for next time. Thanks for reading and God bless!

P.S : Think about it, if our opponents didn't give up as well, maybe they would have won instead? But then again if they did I wouldn't get to post this. An interesting food for thought no? Lol, digest slowly and don't forget to chew! ciao.

Excuses

Lol, I've got my reasons to be pessimistic?

but of course its not a reason to spoil it all for everyone. I'll try to put on a genuine smile =) today and do my best. To prove that I will try...

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

with that, here's to another slam time ahead! I'll be back later with my post-Valentine's-day-mortem so stay tuned!

You Pessimist

Valentines is soo not going to be as MORBID as you say it will Cheeks.

On the contrary, it's going to be lovely seeing all those couples huddle up and do all their romantic stuff. I'm actually excited to see how much customers we'll have tommorow.

Thats all I have to say to you, bloody pessimist. *winks*

The heART of War

On this day, the eve of Valentine's, I'm just giving myself sometime to prepare for the upcoming monstrosity that is Valentine's Day, which is tomorrow, which means I'll be going to..... WAR!!!!

That's right, not exaggerating, tomorrow Friday's will be like a warzone, a battlefield stained with heart-shaped balloons and mushy mushy language flying astray hitting any innocent waiter and waitresses who engages with the enemies, they will be ruthless, they will be unmerciful, they will or at least try their very best to be... romantic.

To add to the fear is General James' unquenchable optimism about our capabilities as his finest soldiers, with strict orders to not turn down any reservations, the odds are piling up by the double. Things are not looking good, things will not be good.

But not to fear, we've come up with special countermeasures. We've decided to dress up in pink polo T-shirts that says "Be My Valentine?" at the back. We've worked our butts off to trap the place with heavy decorations that definitely captures the Valentine's day spirit. On top of that, backed with praise from the President, our General's morale has greatly boosted so we shouldn't be treated too harshly... yea right.

Enough with this crap...

Tomorrow will be literally the doors of hell being opened, and apparently it has to open at Friday's. With the number of reservations coming up to 30++ and undoubtedly increasing as I am blogging, it will just make matters worse. I'll need all the help I can get, coffee, 100 plus, milo, panadol, hot water to soak my legs, prayers and whatever that will help! Oh goodness... I just can't wait, can't wait to catch a glimpse of hell on earth. Oh well cheer up Cheeks! After all its triple pay!(i hope)..

This is totally great. Oh well I already spoke my mind, telling you what I think or mostly what is going through my mind. If you don't mind I'll have to excuse myself now to prepare for tomorrow's upcomings. I pray I can make it back alive to post another post. Wait for my good news!

A Social Threat that is Cheeks

I'm reminded about this condition I read about sometime ago, it's called Autism. It's sort of like this medical condition where by the person develops an brain disorder from childhood that impairs their social interaction and communication, and causes restricted and repetitive behavior. Lol, it's not like I suddenly got diagnosed as to have this condition and am making a public statement about it, just thought it was interesting... =P

Lol..just joking. It's just that the thought of these people and their behaviour just dashed through my mind and I just begin to wonder, wonder if I share any similar characteristics. What do you think?

I had always thought life would be easier if I had a certain disorder myself like being mute, colour blind, or had white hair XD, and also it would make me more interesting. Not like I hate myself or think I don't get enough attention, just thought it would be more interesting.

But the thing is that I've been getting a lot of crap these days for no reasons and also throughout a couple of months. These crap I've been getting these days are not getting worse, but its me who is the one changing that makes these crap look worse than they are. So I just begin to wonder how much have I changed in the last 3 years which had been a real roller coaster ride for me personally.

I guess its not too far off to say that I've improve my social skills and met a lot of great people but at the same time the introvert side of mine worsened in the sense that there are times when I do a lot of stupid, selfish things. That would explain the PMS nature of mine that Ming always love to isolate as fact, then again I want to make it clear that its not something I enjoy being.

I apologize if I sound like a typical teenager but I just felt like setting records straight. I'm sure many of you have experienced moments where you get screwed for totally no reason at all, as if shit just had to fall on your head that moment out of a million gazillion other people. Its just that things like this never bothered me before as much as how it does now, and whenever it does, it reflects on how I think I've changed. I don't like making a big fuss or drama but it seems like sometimes it just comes out of me and I always regret the outcome.

It's really something I've been really struggling with, these PMS moments, makes me a social threat, makes me one those who drop shit on innocent people for no reason at all, it clouds my judgement, clouds my conscience, clouds my emotions.

This post is more like a public apology to those who had suffered my mood swings, especially Ming. I'm terribly sorry, I am trying to change, just doesn't seem to be really moving forward on this matter.

I might have identify a few remedies, like talking more, not like talk crap but have some productive conversations which I find it hard to come by. I had a source for these productive conversations until I screwed it up so badly, so it just adds salt to the wound. Though I do have some now, most of the time is just a lot of crap and miscommunication and misunderstanding happening which really discourages me and promotes my introvert-ness.

No part of this post should be of any relevance to anybody I suppose but it does to me and opening up like this isn't as easy as you think. But what I really want to tell everyone through this post is that its true I get PMS-sy SOMETIMES but I hope you all would understand and would invest a little more patience in me as I really want to try to change.

I do notice how people say I'm still the same old Cheeks, but I know nothing is ever permanent, and indeed there is a part of me that had changed in such a way not to my liking and I'm trying to change again. I'm reminded of this quote by this one very important person that,

"...change brings hope"

Coming to this chapter of my life where changes are occurring everywhere, it's probably normal I might lose grip on myself. I'm eager to find out what's instored for me in my life in time to come but at the same time afraid about what I might become, what I might gain and more importantly, what I will lose.

Oh well I better place the fullstop somewhere and I've decided that I'll put it here. Thanks for investing more understanding and patience in me. I take sarcasm too far sometimes and do not apologize but its not like I don't feel the intense guilt of it. It just doesn't show. So once again I apologize for any shit I've drop on anyone for no reason. Thanks for reading, and like how I say it more than a million times at Friday's.. Have a good day!
