Life after waitress // COLLECTED MY PAY // Moving on

Hey;))

So I passed by my old workplace, The Pecking Order in Clarke Quay and dropped by to visit!!! :)))) There wasn't anyone in the shop though, only Nirra, Khai and Damian LOL but at least I got to chat with them without feeling bad HEHEHEH!!





It was really fun chatting and I realised that most of them were also tendering their resignation forms cause of work timings!! So I'm not the only one :)))

Anyway, listened to their story and kinda agreed with some of it, just that I have NEVER seen the boss before HAHAHA.

And I was being super talkative so I was talking to my mom about it. She was like YA JUST QUIT LA and she was also quitting her job cause the boss sux+super NAGGY.

Which actually got me thinking, it's actually not easy to be a boss, right! Maybe I'm not a boss, but I don't understand why some of them will go back on their word or be really strict on their workers. Like, isn't it better to maintain good relationships with your workers and uphold your promises?? OHWELL I am not one so maybe there'll be constraints. But I'll Defo make sure that I'll be nice to my workers if I were one!!!!!!!!:))))

AIYA horrible bosses should just get together and discuss strategies on being horrible HAHAHAH (ok kidding)

But yea it's quite sad :(((

Went to visit them again in the morning on another day to collect my pay!!! Saw Katak, Khai and Fidy!!! Omg so happy talking to them again :'))) Well, guess all of them' leaving and now I know where they are going to work at!!! It's actually really cool since I've went there before and now I have another reason to visit them again.

Really fun but short catch up and getting my pay 😉 so I'm a little richer now, but I still have debts to pay off but it really feels like a liberation not owing anyone money!!

And I hate it when money ruin relationships, like, MONEY IS AN ASSHOLE why are you letting money ruin your friendships??? :(((

But yes it was really great meeting them again ☺️☺️❤️

Luv, Olliee

VALENTINE'S DAY // Delivery!!! // Florist // Pique Nique

hey ;))

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE (ok it's over but still!!!!) Still basking in happiness and love <3 <3

HAHAHAH ok anyway Valentine's Day was crazy mad and fun for me, and it's like one of the most fun days ever!!! Dragged myself out of bed just to collect flowers from the market, and the auntie was so nice to charge me for a lower price ;))) I went around asking about prices for 12 roses and it's $125?!?! WTH and the auntie sold me a bouquet at $80 so it's really worth it!!! And she even gave me a student discount heheh <3 Got my mom a rose too so she took a selfie and sent it to me HAHAHA. Ok first stop I had to deliver to someone in Bishan which was actually quite convenient since it was otw. And I am quite proud of my navigating skills cause it's quite near to the MRT but also quite far (cause of all the houses ._.) Pushed work back by an hour since I still had errands to do and was so scared I would be late :((( AND I bought a necklace for ahem for ahem HEHEHEHEHE so sweet sia!!! <3 But it was really tough finding something nice cause everything was really nice!! Just that actually I don't think I'd wear such stuff LOL.

Florist on Valentine's Day

Got to do dethorning!!! Dethorning the roses were really fun, and I never knew roses had so many thorns (or that it could make someone bleed). It's really quite dangerous, but still so beautiful!! <3 The red and orange roses were the best IMO they look so vibrant!

[caption id="attachment_1036" align="aligncenter" width="660"] One of my favourite rose while dethorning![/caption]

There were alot of customers and I got to see Chris in action making so many bouquets so it was really an eye-opener + learning experience. I have learnt so much stuff from him and it's really heartening to see someone doing something they love :)

[caption id="attachment_1026" align="aligncenter" width="660"] YAY Rach!!! Wa I seriously love her hair!! Gonna get my hair done like hers soon ;)[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_1047" align="aligncenter" width="660"] standard flower photo TO TAKE WHEEEEEE <3[/caption]

Carolyn bought us chicken rice too, which was really REALLY good (maybe cause I was hungry) but so grateful!!! :))) AND NUN CAME TO VISIT <3 Initially I really thought she wasn't coming but she came!!! So she's my very first visitor as a florist ;)) awwwww touched!!! And I gave her a flower hehehe (the boss didn't charge us WOOOOOTZ) joy of giving flowers on Vday!!

[caption id="attachment_1029" align="aligncenter" width="660"] nun!!![/caption]

Pris came to visit me too since she was early and naturally the others were late -.- HAHA but yayz!!! Another visitor!!! <3

Pique Nique

Romantic dinner with my baes <3 at Pique Nique!! We just wanted to try something new so we went there, and there wasn't actually alot of people LOL. Gave them flowers too AND gave pris her Vday present from poop <3 AWWWWWW so sweet!!!!!! Got fries, and waffles and Norwegian breakfast for dinner HAHA. IMO, the poached eggs were a little overcooked, and we had to pay extra for poached eggs?!?! WTH they didn't even state it!! But aiya whatever la.

[caption id="attachment_1022" align="aligncenter" width="660"] these were REALLY GOOD imo (maybe just cause of the smoked salmon LOL[/caption]

The fries were really thick which I liked alot alot hehehehe plus the sour cream OH SO GOOOOOD! The BBQ sauce was a little to salty, and they were out of ranch dressing -.- The waffles were HORRIBLE. But Shih said that it was awesome??? Maybe I ate the horrible part and she ate the nice part. But the waffle tasted burnt, but I liked the ice cream though ;)) But never again would I go there for waffles HAHAHAHAHA. I'd rather go Creamier or Sunday Folks or try Wimbly Lu!!!! :))) Great catch up with them and we even wore gay flowery clothes with flower headbands HAHAHHA SO GAY I CANNOT EVEN but it's VDAY so just bask into the gay romantic mood!!!<3 <3

[caption id="attachment_1025" align="aligncenter" width="660"] so this is my gay skirt for 10 bux at Cotton On AIYA too long for me I keep tripping over them :((([/caption]

[caption id="attachment_1043" align="aligncenter" width="660"] And Lar's gay floral headband!![/caption]

And I even got a mini lecture by them on certain stuff ahem ahem HAHAHA AIYA I really don't think it matters guys (if you see this) but anyway, giving flowers and seeing their happy faces is really heartening and makes me so happy!! I'm quite sure I've made someone's day even doing something small like this on a mini special occasion :')) SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE (hehe) Hope you had a great Vday!!! <3 Luv, Olliee

Tian Kee & Co

hey ;)



After incessant cake cravings and posts from satay onto our whatsapp group chat, we decided to go to Tian Kee & Co to try their desserts + brunch ;) MINUS CALLY cos she burden don't wanna come :( But yala we really missed her she should have came!!!

Anyway, the nearest MRT station is Mountbatten, and its just a 3 min walk from the MRT, which is REALLY near. So we actually had quite high hopes on the place--airconditioned, 'atas', furnished with a theme etc. BUT NO. It's actually like a super old shophouse, turned cafe. Sounds old? BUT NO IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE COOL. We reached too early since they opened at 12pm, so we had to wait for the shop to actually open. HAHA. Too excited for food alr LOL And since it was a Thurs morning, there weren't alot of people at the shop so we didn't have to queue, and the food was quite fast! :P



[caption id="attachment_894" align="aligncenter" width="660"] back of the shop-- went there to hobo cause we were too early ._.[/caption]









The shop actually had a rustic feel to it, which is quite nostalgic :') especially for the 90's and below kids <3

Their food's actually not quite expensive, for their brunch/breakfast, the most expensive food was probably $14.90? And there is no add on GST/service charge so the price is nett ;)) YAYZ.

So we ordered a Full day breakfast meal and a Tian Kee Eggs Royale (which had smoked salmon!), and there was a side salad each. Also got a cup of Mr Brown (kopi) with bandung and Pink Lady (bandung). OK. The Mr Brown with bandung sounds weird right? And IMO initially it tastes weird. BUT IT IS ACTUALLY DAMN GOOD AFTER A WHILE. It's like coffee infused with bandung taste <3 Definitely should try it!!!

[caption id="attachment_888" align="aligncenter" width="660"] $6 for bandung; $6.50 for kopi+rose syrup[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_900" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Full day breakfast and Tian Kee Eggs Royale -- $14.90 each[/caption]



Caught up on alot of stuff--our lives, other people... but actually most of the time we were just spazzing. About what? ANDIE CHEN AND JESSICIA LIU WERE THERE. PUTTING MAKEUP. LIKE OMG??? OMGOMGOMG HAHAHAH. And we were contemplating whether we should take a photo with them but in the end we didn't cause we weren't really fans of them HAHAHA. Sorry guys x) But Jessicia Liu is really pretty!!! HAHA but we sneakily took a selfie with them in the background HAHAHAHAHHA

[caption id="attachment_905" align="aligncenter" width="660"] One of our stalker photos HAHA[/caption]

OK anyway, the Tian Kee Eggs Royale TASTED AMAZING. Even though its not eggs benedict, and the sauce was supposed to be cheese sauce but it tasted more like thousand island to me, IT WAS FREAKING GOOD. Basically it was 2 muffins faced up, each with smoked salmon, sunny side up egg and 'cheese sauce'. THE SAUCE IS ACTUALLY SINFUL. BUT WHO THE HELL CARES??? Food is good when eaten together with no worries ;)

And the all day breakfast was ALSO REALLY GOOD. AIYA Basically just come and try!!! TEHEE.

They also sell wraps and soup, which looked soooooo good on the menu, but we were quite full already so let's just leave it for next time! Oh alot of people ordered the pumpkin cheese soup which was $8.90 so I think it was good??? Not sure but I'll definitely try it next time!!

Next was the main course: CAKES (kidding HAHA)

Actually we wanted to get this cheesecake that looked like paddle pop. Called rainbow cheesecake and it really looked AMAZING. But reviews all said that it was just a normal cheesecake so we didn't order it :( Actually we wanted to order it but after 2 cakes we were actually full omg.

We ordered the Ugly Nutella Cake (HAHA I LIKE THE NAME COS IT'S REALLY UGLY) and Caramel cheesecake, @ $6.50 each! OMG IT WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. (especially if you like cheesecake!)

[caption id="attachment_899" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Ugly Nutella cake and Caramel Cheesecake[/caption]

IMO the ugly nutella cake was really good initially, with oreo crust below it. But after a while I got quite sick of the top part, which didn't have a strong flavour, like meringue with cocoa powder? Actually I'm also not sure, but STILL DAMN GOOD LA. Just try it!!!

I wanted to try the yuan yang cheesecake but clearly we were too full so IT'S GONNA BE LEFT FOR THE NEXT TIME I'M THERE!!! HEHE

Continued sitting there and chatting for a really really long time (actually we just wanted to watch them do their filming) but they left in the end :( Maybe their filming was at another place??? HAHA But still so happy to see actors and actresses!!!

But anyway, their food is actually not that expensive, just no usual fries or anything HAHA! Will definitely come back again to try other stuff, and their cakes!!!!!!

Sigh I miss baking :((( But there's no point in me baking cause I'll be the only one finishing it and I'll feel so sick of it SIAN. OHWELLZ. I'll bake again when I have the time!!! ;))) Oh if you need any info on how to get there can ask me!

AND it's usually closed on Mondays so don't ever appear on Mondays!!!

Mad work day // BUT DAMN FUN

heyy ;))



Had work today so guess I'll just talk about work today LOL.Work was actually fun today, since lunch was full house, and dinner was quite hectic. Still quite new to everything so I was stationed outside with fewer tables. I seriously think the best part is meeting new people during work, since this is one with ALOT of social interaction. Everyone working there was really nice and it's really fun talking to them about random things. AND I actually learnt so much new stuff!!! x))

Mad lunch period was from 1230-230, with many customers ordering food which they said was GOOOODDDD. I was being asked for my own recommendation, but I didn't even try anything yet???? Then I got jealous cause I wanted to eat the food since everyone said it was delicious, BUT I'M GONNA WAIT TILL I GET MY MONEY.

Well, there was this particular customer who complained that their coffee and tea weren't 'hot'. They said their drinks were not hot enough ._. BOILING LEVEL WANT ANOT. Wasted drinks sia BUT WHATEVER. But most of the customers were really nice, and they actually kinda knew I was still new to this (SUPER NOOB SORRY) so they were really tolerant :')

Got hot mocha from Khai which was SO DAMN GOOD I'M NOT EVEN JOKING I AM SERIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH THE HOT CHOCOLATE RIGHT NOW.



Went for lunch with Fidy to get salad near Raffles Place MRT and got stuck in the rain so we had to be like hobos and eat at the UOB building. But at least I'm eating with someone!! And talking to her really made me learn alot more different stuff which I would never have imagined. So it was really fun!! x))

[caption id="attachment_629" align="aligncenter" width="169"] My 8 bux salad which was actually really really good[/caption]

Jue Fei came for a while and ordered beer (I was like whut beer sucks and you drink beer okcan)

[caption id="attachment_631" align="aligncenter" width="225"] Freaking gayfag but thanks for coming[/caption]

During dinner time it was REAL HECTIC. Actually less hectic than lunch, but it was really fun. Especially since people ordered cocktails which looked really pretty in those glasses!! <3 Actually working at night is really fun too, since there's just this atmosphere to nightlife LOL. And luckily we don't have to take care of drunk people (cause there were none ehehe), maybe I'll try working the night shift till the end too!!! ;))

SUALA WORKING IS ACTUALLY REALLY FUN HAHA for now since I'm still new to this LOL. Can't wait to do many different jobs and get many different experiences ;D Promoter job tomorrow again WOOTS

Luv, Olliee!

Olliee in Penang // Day 2 // Jelutong Market // Wheeler's Coffee

Heyy;))
Anddddd we're finally in day 2 of Penang! Truth is, we just lazed around in my aunt's house for the whole afternoon, and was thinking about university stuff. OMG it's so damn stressful like wts my future is so hazy I can't even. Am I gonna study in SG or overseas? Do I even have the money to pay for uni fees? Can I even get in uni?

All these questions just keeps rolling around in my head over and over. URGH. Ok, right now I'm on a holiday so gotta put these matters aside!!

Jelutong market








Ate at Jelutong for breakfast, (forever going there, since I was a little kid!) AND I FINALLY HAD MY FAVOURITE CHEE CHEONG FUN. I didn't really like Singapore's Chee Cheong fun except for the HK style one 😢





Also had kaya toast for breakfast 😉 which was only 1.60RM; WHERE CAN YOU ACTUALLY FIND THIS PRICE!!!





Went to Old Chow Thye in the morning and wanted to help out, but it wasn't lunch period yet so there wasn't much to help out :(( So I just started taking photos all around ☺️





Had blueberry cheese tart to satisfy my sweet tooth craving



And yoghurt fruit cake...



AND THEY WERE HEAVENLY. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM!!!!!





Their steamed egg also has a really interesting taste to it, I LURVEEEEE IT ❤️




Went to ahma's house after for a while to chill out, before nuaing session begins 😉




Look at all these cinnamon buns! I LUV THEM. I don't think you can even get something as good as these in SG! Tried Cinnamon Star in SG and I hate the taste ._. Anyway, can you believe such wonderful treasures are only 1.50RM per bun, AND we bought 15 immediately. THEN we even ordered 30 to bring back to SG. So guys do wait for them!!! 😉😉





Popiah was really good too (cause I missed it) and ate a whole plate hurhur.





Also had half a wonton mee, but had to share with everyone else since we bought a lot of stuff to share.




The thing is, the number of plates of food bought doesn't even reflect the number of people we have. I'm sure on average everyone ate 2 plates LOLLLLLL. CONFIRM fat la who cares what is diet.

Wheeler's Coffee

Wanted to go to a selfie cafe in town, but since it was full, we went to Wheeler's Coffee instead. It's a bicycle concept cafe which revolves around bikes. And it's actually really cool ☺️


















I swear I didn't know what I was doing -.-








That place is really a good place to take photos HEHE. Had green tea latte which was too bitter for my liking :(( and raspberry yoghurt crepe cake, which I ACTUALLY a fell in love with. ❤️





Hehehehe ANYWAY, really fun day today!!! Who would go to a cafe at 10pm and drink coffee LOL.

Right anyway, just wanted to talk about something else too. I was 'unintentionally' left in the car cause I was sitting in the back seat and before I could get out my parents actually closed the door on me. Maybe if it was intentional I would have just ignored it and laughed about it, but. It wasn't?? I was so sad 😢 but OFC I had to just laugh nonetheless to make it seem ok. Maybe that's an insecurity and all, but it still made me sad to feel that I was forgotten. Or maybe that's cause I hate to be alone. I needed a connection with another person. OH MAYBE THATS WHY IM AN EXTROVERT. (Ok I'm just being random la) Nevertheless, I felt really really sad about it but clearly I won't show it 💁

Ok Sua sad paragraph over OVERALL STILL A GOOD DAY DONT LET THAT GET TO YOU WOOOOOO ❤️💪

Can't wait for what's gonna happen tmr!! (Later actually, since it's already past midnight) hehe!!

Luv, Olliee
