Are you people ready for 2009? But first, how was your 2008? Must be pretty eventful right? Some good memories and some bad ones as well of course. Anyway, have you made your new years resolution yet? Why do people have come up with such things anyway? Its like making an empty promise to yourself. Will you be able to keep it? I don't believe in such things. I'm more of a "right here, right now" kind of guy. Living for the moment is much better than any new years resolution anybody can come up with. Maybe I'm being a little bit over-critical over here...
Actually, I do have a new years resolution. My new years resolution is to give those people who gave me problems last year a second chance. So right now I'm forgiving everyone and I'm not holding any grudges with anyone!
Happy New Year everyone!

I was just making fun of Diana the other day for having to buy a mop for the other store and now its my turn... Basket!!! Well, at least mine was much cheaper than hers... Hahaaa!

Episode 63: Goodbye peace and quiet...
After a week or so without having the manager around the store, she finally comes back. I'm not too excited about her return actually. And by the looks of it I'm not the only one not too happy about it... Personally, I think we did quite okay while she wasn't around. Plus, the AM was always around to make sure everything was running smoothly. I wonder what the manager did during her vacation. I heard it rained all the way non stop. Doesn't seem like a lot of fun to me.
A week ago, a visitor to my blog decided to post some very harsh criticism and comments. Before any more damage was done, I've deleted the comments. I'm all for freedom of expression but saying things which have no truth in them is not acceptable. So, "Phreaky Z", or whatever your name is, just who the hell do you think you are? Don't hate the player, hate the game!
We might always be found together but there is nothing going on between us. We're just friends who get along very well and that's about it. I'm sick of hearing the same comments over and over again everyday. I mean whats wrong? Could it be that someone I've known for a while is jealous of the attention that she's getting? I hope not...
Its almost the end of the month which means I have to plan a shopping trip for myself! Lots of stuff to get and 1 of them is a brand new shiny hand phone. So if you're free, come and join me! Its not so fun going all by myself...

Episode 62: I miss...
Let me start off by saying that our Singapore national soccer team just lost to Vietnam in a very closely fought match at the National Stadium. They lost one nil. It was so disappointing... So close but yet so far... I was really hoping for a Singapore vs. Thailand final. Oh well... I can still dream about it...
Said goodbye to Kamariah this week. It was like a reunion for me to have her back well at least for a while... Everyone has their own opinion about her and I'm cool with that but I still respect her. She was my mentor when I first started out and I owe alot of what I know to her. Before she left, I asked for 1 last favour from her, just for old times sake...
Hidayah left me behind again. This is the second time she did it to me this week. Whats up with that? It seems like she's really close with the new Area Manager nowadays. Hmm... Talking about the Area Manager, I told her that I was not coming to work anymore. She just laughed it off. I told her I was serious but she told me to wait until the manager to come back to work. Oh great... she's also crazy!
I really miss working with the afternoon shift guys. I'm always working in the morning like everyday now! I'm so sleepy from having to wake up so early... I miss Dianah. She's always smiling. She has a beautiful smile. I miss talking to her about stuff. Even though we never agree on anything, its always fun working with her. I miss Helmi too. He's such a nice guy, much more nicer than me! Working with him is always an experience! Most of it funny ones... Hahaa...

61 Things Girls Don't Know About Guys.
1. Guys hate sluts even though they have sex with them!(oh yeah..you're not "popular" if you've slept with more than 6 guys..you're a HOE)
2. "Hey, are you busy?" or "Are you doing something?" ~ two phrases guys open with to stop from stammering on the phone.
3. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
4. Before they call, guys try to plan out a little about what they're gonna say so there aren't awkward pauses, but once he's on the phone he forgets it all and makes it up as he goes.
5. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
6. Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him.

12. Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
13. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
14. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
15. Guys hate asking parents for money to buy girls presents. So they come up with ideas like saving their lunch money for a week. But it never works because guys are always hungry so they end up asking the parents for money anyway.

28. Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.

38. If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.

Episode 61: Taking charge!
Just a few things to take note of...
I'm still new to the idea of being in charge but I'm trying my best... Lets just say its a work in progress. I wish people would cooperate a bit more... Luckily, Hidayah is there to help me out if shes around. I didn't ask for this so forgive me if I become a bit bossy...
I don't like the idea of making calls to other people regarding what time they're coming to work. Its totally pointless to me. But when I do, please pick up! Or at least reply my messages... Its the polite thing to do!
Quote of the week goes to the person who said that Kamariah will only scold the female staff only, not any of the male staff. How did this person come up with that idea I don't know. Sounds so bitchy! Someone please explain...
2 people tried to quit last week. And were unsuccessful... How do you expect to quit when the manager loves these 2 people... Her "favourites"... I have a better chance of going first before them!
I have to be less trusting of people. I must be careful with whom I say what to... Some people just can"t keep secrets.
Today I decided to hang out with a friend after work. We didn't know where to go but in the end we found ourselves at Changi Airport! It turned out to be a blessing as my friend hasn't been there for a while and she was quite excited. After visiting the various terminals via the sky train, we had our dinner at McDonald's. We spent the rest of the day there until we went back...
I think overall, it was a good day for me...
Good night!

Episode 60: Meeting the new Area Manager.
Yesterday, Mr. Sulaiman came to the store and introduced to everyone to the new area manager. I think her name was Salbiah or something like that. Nama punya classic, macam dari zaman P. Ramlee gitu... I mean who names her daughter Salbiah? Nonetheless, she was so bossy, so on the ball and so yah-yah papaya from what I see. She is so gonna regret taking over our store...
Just like the superhero Superman is weak to kryptonite, I'm also weak to certain things. Hey, I'm human okay, and everybody has weaknesses. For me, I think one of them is that I can stand to see a girl cry. I just cannot take it lah... I know I'm getting soft. But it ain't a pretty sight you know? Die-die I will pujuk her until she stops crying...
Okay gotta go.
I'm late for work!

Episode 59: Oh my god! Its Kamariah?!
So after days of speculating, it turns out that Kamariah is coming back to take over the store temporarily. Maybe I shouldn't be to surprised... Who else would take over this place right? My horoscope did say someone from my past would be making an appearance but who would have thought it was her.
So from the moment she entered the store and said hi to me, I was speechless... I don't know what happened to me. All I could do was smile, that's all. Hidayah who was working next to me must be thinking I was crazy... It was so awkward! I wish Farris was here...
Anyways, some birthdays are coming up and I have to decide whether or not I want to get them anything or not. Decisions... Decisions...
That's all for today.
Take care people.

Episode 58: The Hari Raya Haji Edition
First of, selamat hari raya to everyone! Yes, that means you...
This week. 3 old friends of mine came to visit. It was nice to see them again! Razmi, Hazri and Zaidi- Lets meet up again sometime...
Hazri dropped by my store earlier to inform me that my old gang was getting together for an outing. He wanted to invite me as well. I just told him that I'll try to make it. I'm feeling so bad. These guys plan these outings with me in them but I just can't make it to any of them! I feel so guilty...
At work, I have been kept waiting. Waiting for someone to replace me because my shift ended almost like 1 hour ago! I've never waited for anyone in my life but she actually made me wait for her...
Some people just can't take criticism. I say what I say with good intentions not bad. Its better you hear it from me, a friend rather from someone who doesn't know you at all. Its your choice...
I see the goodness in people. That's why I'm friends with a lot of people. I look past physical appearances. I'll pick them over anyone of those pretty faces with a black heart anytime.
Someone has been telling everyone that I like this girl. Let me just say that she's just a friend. Just because you always see me with her doesn't mean that I like her. Please don't be jealous. This is nothing...
The girls that I know tell me just about everything there is to know about them. Sometimes, it surprises them I know that much about them. Why is that? Maybe because when they talk to me, I listen to what they have to say. I think most guys nowadays just look at the girl's breasts and butt only...
Someone opened up and told me of her problems. I want to help but I think should not interfere. I may cause even more harm than good. I just told her to leave it to God. In the meantime, I'll support her in anyway I can.
That's all for today.
Take care.

Episode 57: Some good advice.
"Never allow yourself to be treated as nothing by another person whom you cared so much..
If you feel you are not cared by that person like you do, then let go..
That's life..
It's about making wise decisions, not about making yourself a foolish one."
Juraimi:To those who are confused and conflicted, I hope this helps...

Episode 56: The one about being the victim.
Gossiping is a very bad thing. So is calling people names. Especially when it is about me. I mean what do you people get from doing that? I was there. I heard the laughter. I saw the looks you all gave me. Here's the thing, its only funny when the other person laughs too. I was not laughing at all. Its all very childish... I hope you enjoyed having fun at my expense.
On my way back from work, some fat kid standing beside his motorcycle saw me & tried to get my attention. Firstly, I don't talk to strangers. Secondly, I don't like strangers who smoke and try to get my attention. I tried to ignore him but he taunted me again. I just replied as politely as I can and walked off. I didn't want to make a scene because "you-know-who" was there... I don't know who that fat bastard was but I swear if I see him on the road, I'll run him down! Nobody makes a fool out of me...
Today's quote of the day is," I'm single, but not available! ". Anybody got any idea what it means? Some girl said it...
It must be so difficult for a girl when she has so many secret admirers and boyfriends. And they're all lining up just to see her. I mean which one of them will she make use of today? All she has to do is smile and ask nicely and its done. Whats wrong with you guys? Can't you see that she's just using you?
That's enough!

Episode 55: Sitex Final Day.
Yeah, Sitex is finally over... As tiring as it was for me to work the last 4 days, I could hide my displeasure of not being able to go to the show itself. So not fair! I wanted to buy so many things... Haiz... Guess I'll have to wait for the next one...
Kak Su came back to help out yesterday! It was great to see her again... She's now a manager. She's still the same person I know from last time. Happy & cheerful...
I was working with 3 Filipino girls this week. They were all nice people. They are Sonia, Hazel & Geraldine. Only trouble I have is communicating with them. Sometimes, I felt I was lost in translation when I'm talking with them. My conversations with them should come with subtitles! Haahaa...
Whats next for me? Only time will tell...

Episode 54: Sitex Day 3.
As expected, today turned out to be such a stressful and tiring day for me. I found myself going in and out of the store non stop. I had no time to eat! The crowd was quite big today and they bought quite a lot of stuff from both stores.
Some people at work were giving me the "treatment" today which I don't really quite understand. If you have something to say then just say it.
What goes around, comes around. When its you at the receiving end of it, you don't like it. Now you know how it feels...
As for the rest of my evening, well... I'd rather not talk about it.
Last day of Sitex tomorrow. I'm hoping that it will not turn out bad. Its all a bit too much for me really...

Soundtrax
I've been listening to this song a lot lately... I think I like it.... Maybe because of its the words and the meaning of the song. Just thought I'd share it with you. Music video included below. Enjoy...
Superhuman - Chris Brown featuring Keri Hilson
[Verse 1 - Chris Brown]
Weak I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd I survive when I could barely speak?
Barely eat?
On my knees
[Verse 2 - Keri Hilson]
Well that's the moment you came to me
I don't know what your love has done to me
Think I'm invincible, I see
Through the me, I used to be
[Chorus]
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me, with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
A superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman
I feel so superhuman (superhuman)
I feel so superhuman
[Verse 3 - Chris Brown]
Strong
Since I've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like I've had it all along
I can see tomorrow
[Verse 4 - Keri Hilson]
Well every problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelieveable to see how love could set me free
[Chorus]
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me, with your love I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
A superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Superhuman
I feel so superhuman (superhuman)
I feel so superhuman
[Bridge]
It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and it's going gone away
My only weakness is you
My only reason is you
Every minute with you I feel like I can do
Anything
Going going I'm gone away
In love
[Chorus]
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing
To me, with your love
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me
A superhuman heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you

Episode 53: Sitex Day 2.
Yesterday, purposely came to work late. And as usual, The Manager was looking up and down for me. I wish sometimes she would just leave me alone...
Day 2 of Sitex was okay. It seems that the crowd keeps getting bigger and bigger. I wish I could go there instead of working. There's so much for me to buy... I had to work extra hours again which I found ridiculous. At the end of the day, my right eye was all red. But I think I should be okay. No use complaining about it because I'm working again today...
Some people were acting all bitchy yesterday. Seriously, I don't have time for this people! If there's something I don't like, it is people who disturb me when I'm busy with something. They want my attention, but frankly I don't want it! I just gave them the face and walked off or reply to them with short answers. Get the hints people...
I just don't feel like going to work anymore... The only thing inside my mind right now is about quitting this job. Its just hard to motivate myself to come to work. For what? Because of who? I don't know... I need advice...

Episode 52: Sitex Day 1.
Today was the first day of Sitex at Singapore Expo. And I'm glad to say that I survived. Even though it was my second time going through the event, I must admit there were times when I felt like taking my bag and leaving the place. Just 3 more days to go...
The girls from the Simei store who came by to assist us looks much tougher when compared to the girls from my store. I was told that over there, the girls are the ones doing the flowthru. Amazing... To prove their point, one of them showed me their muscles in their arms. DASHYAT!!!
Just now, everyone around me was telling me just how tired they were. EVERYONE. Hey, I'm tired too! Forgive me if I'm being insensitive here, but you're making it sound like you're the ONLY one who is tired...
Finally, someone just got a brand new phone! No need to say who lah... Its so nice and shiny... Ands its very slim too... But I think it might fall apart soon!
I was just joking!! ;-)

Episode 51: The one where Juraimi goes window shopping.
I don't know why...
But all of a sudden, I'm feeling so useless...
Got to snap out of it!
Shakinah has quit already... How many of you saw that coming? Anyway, don't let this tudung-wearing girl fool you... She's all gangsta I tell you! On her last day, she argued with some of her customers. I was very surprised. I'm gonna miss her... She was a lot of fun to work with!
Yesterday after work, I accompanied Hidayah to Tampines. She said she wanted to buy something. Since I had time to burn, I decided to tag along. It was weird at first, its been awhile since since I last did this. Girls just love going from shop to shop and not buying anything... How come? And when they do buy something, they tend to overspend! Pity their boyfriends... Despite being punched in the arm a couple of times for commenting, overall I found it to be a fun trip. I'm still smelling nice from all the perfume she sprayed on me!
Kala made me laugh today. Laugh really hard. So hard that I cried... Cried tears of joy... She can be so funny sometimes!
My original intentions were to avoid certain people at work because they were starting to get on my nerves. I needed to create space between me and them... But the further I went, the closer they got to me. It was useless! I just can't ignore them as if they never existed... This people matter to me...

Episode 50: What!? Reservist today?
Today I got the shock of my life when I woke up... I was mobilized! Which means I have reservist training... Its been a while since my last training and my military items were nowhere to be found! Shit!! Luckily my dad volunteered to send me to my camp. I'm very grateful for that! Anyway, have you seen me in uniform? I look damn smart in one...
4 hours later and it was finally over. Very glad that I could go back already. Unfortunately, it rained very heavily while I was waiting for my taxi. I think I'm sick... Talking about taxi rides, I had to pay $27 for the ride home! I cannot believe it!! Bloody hell, that Uncle tricked me...
By the time I reached home, I was damn tired already... But I was not done yet. Took a quick shower and left home again for work. Did my best to help out even though I was tired and getting sick. Saw Kala and she told me that the guys were not happy that I didn't show up for work. So what?! Its not like they care about me... Screw them!
Zaky dropped by the store and we talked for a bit. He had to leave earlier because he was meeting his friends later. He said he was going fishing. More like fishing for girls if you ask me...
Hahaa... ;-)

Episode 49: Ego trip.
Its funny how things can change from good to bad in an instant... Yesterday was a good day for me. Well, sort of... It was fun at least. Today, was the complete opposite of yesterday. Everything that could go wrong did. What a day...
The manager told me I had to pay $50 today. All by myself... I couldn't believe it... I still don't believe it... Just my luck! What am I supposed to do? She purposely put me to work with the new staff all this week. Seriously... It wasn't my fault!! Sigh...
As punishment for covering for my "sick friends" at work last week, I got my originally scheduled 2 off days taken away by the manager. Thanks a lot guys... Can anyone please explain to me why it is always like that? Anyone? Whatever...
All this week the manager got all bossy over a proposed visit by a big shot. Do this, do that... Oh yeah, is he here yet? What the hell! Complete waste of my time...
Its really weird to have these many girls at work. Who's idea is this? Sigh... Its so troublesome. I have to be careful with what I say and do... They want to be "manja" and want attention from me. Its annoying! But Helmi doesn't face this problem. Got to ask him whats his secret...
Does kissing up to the manager really helps you get what you want? Maybe I should try it too...
Manager's kid. Very annoying. Nuff said!
I have to try resigning the next couple of days. I really, really cannot take it anymore! What was I thinking when I asked for everyone opinion on whether I should quit or not... Of course they're gonna say no. They just want to take advantage of me... Ask me to help do their work for them, cover for them when they get "sick", etc... Yeah, I already know...
When ever you feel like your big ego needs boosting, don't come and look for me. I am done with that. I'm tired of telling you things you want to hear just to feed that huge ego yours... I mean why should I? What about me? When was the last time anyone ever done anything for me?
I wish Faris was still around... At least he would hear me out. I miss the times when we would go back from work together and talked about a lot of stuff while on the bus.
Maybe what I need is really someone to talk to...

Episode 48: What I need to do.
Have a look at what I found...
Its the resignation form for me to leave that place once and for all!
So I guess all I have to do is just fill this up and shove it up the manager's face.
Seems simple enough...
I have to do this...
Cause this is what I want....
Right?
Hm mm....

Episode 47: Thinking things over.
Work has been very stressful for me this week. I just don't want to talk about it. Just thinking about what I've been through this week so far makes my blood boil. Things are definitely not okay. I find the whole situation too complicated to understand. So I just keep it all to myself. Telling people what I really think of them is not a good idea... I can be brutally honest but I don't want to hurt other peoples feelings. But then again, how about my feelings? Don't they matter too?
I keep reminding myself that everything will be fine even though I know its not. Its just one of the reasons I managed to stay this long. Its an achievement that I'm not proud of having. So what if I'm the longest serving staff there?
Despite of all this, there is a bright spot at the end. In a crowd full of posers, followers, ass kissers and attention seekers there are a select few whom I can say I can trust. Just talking to them or spending time with them helps take my mind off things. Thank god for these people...

Episode 46: The one about cockroaches.
Nowadays, I find myself working with some new staff. I have to teach them the ways of the sales assistant. Hahaaa... Am I such a good teacher? Is that why the manager always picks me to tutor them? I doubt it. I think nobody gets what the manager is trying to teach them. She talks way to fast! Hahaaa... I guess its up to me then to guide them.
Talking about new staff, right now I'm tutoring Hidayah. Yes, another girl... Don't be jealous now! This is a strictly professional relationship... So don't start any rumors! Hahaaa... So far so good. Even though its still early days for her, I have a good feeling about this girl.
If you've worked with me before,you'll know that I'll praise you if you understood whatever that I taught you. Then I'll say something like,"Wah... Dah pandai seh! Now I can quit already..." Sound familiar? The response I hear to that is always the same. "Jangan ah... Aku masih baru seh... Aku takde kawan kat sini!" Yeah right... That's what they always say at first. 1 month later, that same person I taught becomes arrogant & starts disrespecting me... That's gratitude for you.
Helmi hates cockroaches! He screams like a little girl when he sees one. Hahaaa... I had to kill one for him just now. Sheesh!
Diana looks sick. I think she is sick! She keeps coughing & vomiting... I don't know what she's trying to do but whatever it is, its taking its toll on her body! She can be so stubborn sometimes! I'm really worried about her...
Had to do more overtime today because someone called in sick. Hooray!!! Manager immediately goes & looks for me to cover this person. Who else? Never even ask me if whether I can or cannot! That just leaves me as the ONLY PERSON WHO HAS NOT GOTTEN AN OFF DAY YET THIS WEEK!!! SO FUCKING UNFAIR KAN... WHAT A BITCH!!! Sigh... I have a bad feeling that today won't be the only day I'll be doing overtime for this week. Aarrgh!!!
Today's word of the day: " Kaki Ponteng"
Pretty self explanatory.

Episode 45: The one about the store keys.
Yes, it really does... And just when I least expect it... Kind of...
Here's the thing, I asked Helmi first. He said he didn't have them. Then I asked Dianah the same question before I went back. She said yes. Did she even hear what I said? Whatever... I went home anyway.
Miscommunication can be a bitch sometimes...
So in the end, I had to return to the store to lock up. Because I had the keys and they don't. I don't blame anybody for what happened other than myself. Its not their fault.
Just mine.
Its just so damn pointless to argue about it. I'm starting lose faith with the people around me. So next time you see me just leave me alone. If anything bad happens, it'll be my fault and not yours. Save the excuses for someone who actually believes them.
I give up...
On a brighter note, Faris came for a visit. I don't know but to me he seems a different person now. We talked for a bit before he had to leave. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement dude. I really appreciate that. Faris showed me his brand new Ipod Touch...
Ooh... I like! I want one too!

Episode 44: The one where I need help.
Work has been pretty "whatever" lately.
I really hate it.
Really- really hate it.
I don't know...
But this past few days I've been getting frustrated pretty easily.
Even the smallest thing would tick me off.
I'm really trying my best but it just doesn't seem to be enough for them.
Maybe I'm just trying too hard?
Am I?
Or is it the people around me who are just not doing enough?
Whatever it is, I just can't take it anymore!
Here I am, busting my ass and I see people just standing around doing nothing...
NOTHING...
And whats worse than that?
The complaining...
Sorry if I'm being insensitive here, but you are still getting paid right?
I really understand the situation right now stinks, but you won't get any sympathy from me by just complaining like some spoilt brat!
Just like today, I was expecting a little help.
But in the end, I ended up doing everything by myself.
That's so typical...
I CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Sigh...
I'm so tired...
Don't know how long I can keep this up...
The longer I stay, the more impatient I get...
Oh...
Did I mention that there won't be any off days for me this week?
That's the thanks I get for helping out...
And you're welcome.
I really hate it.
Really- really hate it.
I don't know...

Just like today, I was expecting a little help.
But in the end, I ended up doing everything by myself.
That's so typical...
I CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Sigh...
I'm so tired...
Don't know how long I can keep this up...
The longer I stay, the more impatient I get...
Oh...
Did I mention that there won't be any off days for me this week?
That's the thanks I get for helping out...
And you're welcome.

Episode 43: The one where Faris quits.
I was supposed to post this a few days back but I just couldn't find the right words. What to do? It was all of a sudden... This is what happened.......
I came to work in the morning as normal. Manager comes up to me and informs me about some changes to the work schedule. She says Faris just quit.
WHAT?!
Manager goes on to tell me what really happened. I still couldn't believe it...... I text Faris to confirm and he said it was true.
No frickin' way!
I've got to be honest here, I still haven't accepted the fact that he quit. I was surprised at first, then I felt angry and then I felt disappointed. I knew he was going to quit but not now or at least not before me.... I was so bummed out that day. One of the "Originals" has left. So that just leaves me and Diana along with the rest. And I know Diana hates me... Sigh.......
And then there was one.
But I still respect his decision. Sometimes you just have to do what you've got to do. Even though it might be the most difficult. I just wish him all the best in his future endeavours. Who knows? Our paths might cross again in the future. I guess the only thing for me to do is to .......
Dude, I still can't believe you left me all alone at that place!
See you around.

Episode 42: The one with moody people.
Things have been pretty dull lately.
People around me are acting all weird and work is boring.
I hate days like this...
The mood in the store have changed. But I don't know if its good or not. Some new people have come in but my workload is still the same. I guess I cannot complain... They are still new and I have to teach them.
But sometimes I think to myself,"WHY ME!!!!!"
Have you met the new girl? I call her Mas. Finally, I have someone the same age as me to talk to! She seems like a nice person and her work is quite okay. She's my new hope right now.
Hopefully, she stays there long enough for me to quit...
I don't get why you're moody all of a sudden... Is something troubling you? Its so obvious you know... If you do have a problem go talk to somebody. Or don't bring it to work okay?
Just like when you're lying, you can't hide it very well. I can tell.
Faris will be returning this week. I hope he'll be feeling much better now. I must admit that it wasn"t easy to do this without him. I wonder if he's changed after what he went through.
Thats all for now...

Episode 41: The one about girls.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think girls get jealous more easily than guys. Do you agree with me? No? Yes? Well, its just my opinion and if you don't agree with it then just click on the comments link below. I really want a girl's take on this topic.
Here's the story, we're expecting someone new to come in this week to help us out. So, this person asks,"Is she prettier than me?" I was like,"What?" Are you serious? Why would someone ask something like that? So I decided to go look for another girl asked for her opinion about this. To my surprise, she also agreed!
Apparently, girls do get jealous of other girls. But why is what I wanna know. Some of the main concerns is whether they're prettier than them. So? What wrong if they're prettier than you? I think this people have low self esteem. They're still not comfortable with who they are and how they look like.
Or maybe they just want all the boys to pay attention to them. They don't want to share it with anybody else. They might feel threatened with the arrival of a new girl. Don't they know by doing this it makes them look cheap?
Whatever it is, I find girls as confused and complicated people. I don't understand it but I'm trying to. Maybe I shouldn't try to. It might be a girl thing.

Episode 40: The one about Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold came down to Singapore a few days back to perform at the Max Pavilion. I must admit I don't know much about these guys but it seems they do have some fans right here in Singapore. Talking about fans, what is up with them and the color black? These bands and their fans just love to wear black. Must be a diehards and fanatics thing... I'm just saying.
The amount of alcohol I had to sell to the Malay people that day made me sick. I'm sorry, but I had say it. You guys are what I call "Sampah Masyarakat". You see, I'm not a big fan of the motto, "Berani Buat, Berani Tanggung". Trust me there's a lot of people who live by this motto. You guys don't know what you're talking about... The future looks dark for our Malay community.
Waheedah dropped by the store the other day. She was there for the concert. The rest of the Power puff gang was nowhere to be found. We talked for a while and then she left. She still the same girl I know. There's something mysterious about her I tell you. Cool...
Things have been hectic the past 3 days at work but I can see that some of the guys are trying hard. The rest are just pissing me off with their "Don't Care" attitude. Sigh... some things will never change.
Munchy Donut has officially opened! Their first day was quite good. Attracted quite a number of customers. Not to be left out, I treated "little bradah" Faris & "little sistah" Dianah. They were happy. So was I. Smiley faces all around!
That's all for today.
I need to sleep more.

Episode 39: The one where Juraimi feels he's not being taken seriously.
Is it just me or doesn't anybody here taking what I say seriously? They think I'm a joke. The thing is, I am serious about certain things and quitting this job is one of them!
They think that I won't be able to do it. The Manager won't let me go that easy. Fact of the matter is, I will do whatever it takes to get what I want. Even if I fail the first time around, it means nothing to me. It will just make me even more determined to succeed.
Its kind of disappointing to find out that my friends still underestimate and doubt me after all that I've done for them. It can be so frustrating at times! But what can I do? Its been pretty much the story of my life so far. Its okay, sometimes you just have to roll with it... And yeah, keep on underestimating me, it kinds of motivates me in a strange kind of way. Its not a bad thing actually, I can accept it. You want to know why?
Proving to people that they are wrong about me is what I do best.
This is not a confession, just an opinion.
END.
Episode 38: The one about Munchy Donut.
Guess what? Munchy Donut is gonna open at Singapore Expo soon. Now, I don't know whats so good about eating donuts but at least its something different from Subway next door. I was hoping for a McDonald's store instead I have to settle for this... Oh well... I can't be choosy right? Anyways, anyone knows anything good I could get from there when it officially opens? Do you have a favourite donut? At least I know Faris will be very excited about them opening...
Bradah... Bradah... xD
"Auntie.... One donut.... Takeaway!"
Sheesh.......
Munchy Donut- One is not enough!
You sure about that?

Episode 37: The one where Juraimi is sick.
I feel like shit.
My head hurts...
I'm so tired and sleepy...
I hate it when I get sick...
Feel so weak, I can't do anything!
Can I don't come to work?
Ever again?
Really...
Pretty please?
I feel over-worked and I really need a break...
Maybe I should take MC...
I'm sure no one will miss me if I'm not around.
Its not like I'm important or anything right?
Sorry to anyone who felt like I was ignoring them...
It wasn't on purpose, I was sick.
I was not my usual self.
Please understand...
My manager's a bitch!
My Area Manager's a dick head!
Just what are they trying to do?
They will not manipulate or intimidate me...
They think they know what they're talking about...
I think they can go kiss my a$$!
Finally, my chat box is fixed...
I don't know what happened to it.
But its back up again so everyone, feel free to have your say!
That's all for today.
Hopefully, I'll be feeling a bit better tomorrow...

Episode 36: The One Where Someone Loses Money.
I'm starting to believe that there is a trouble maker within the group. These incidents didn't happen all by themselves. Since I'm going to be around, might as well do a bit of investigating myself...
Something fishy is going on at the store. Don't know what exactly but I'm gonna find out. Today, Faris shared with me some new information regarding the money that was lost a few days back.
What he told me was very interesting...
I really don't know what this person is trying to achieve playing this game. Playing around with other people feelings and betraying their trust.
There are no winners in this game so whomever it is, just be prepared to lose cause you are definitely going down...
Just who did it? Is the people who worked that day? Is it the person who worked the night before? Is it the person who always handles the money? Was it me?
Here's a hint... Its the one whose been acting weird recently...
In other news, Helmi said he saw rats inside the store.
Not a rat. But RATS.
On my way back from work I saw someone from school. She was on the same bus as me. I didn't recognize her at first because she now has long hair. She looks prettier now with long hair. She didn't say anything but she did jeling at me. Whats up with that??
Ahhhh... So pretty....
Oh did I mention I totally dig girls with long hair?? Shoulder length to be exact... Nice....

Episode 35: The One Where Juraimi Finds Out The Truth
Just who is this mysterious person who keeps telling other people what I'm saying?? It seems that I have to be more careful with whom I chose to talk to from now on. Some people are so unreliable that they can't be trusted anymore...
Remember in my last post I said that I was going to take care of the problem, well I today I tried to do just that. So I approached Yati and asked her about the recent happenings at work. I tried to be as honest as I could without being too direct. After a heart to heart conversation, I think I got what I wanted to hear.
Well, sort of...
Her story was totally different when compared to what Nana told me the other day. Things just don't add up you know. I spent the rest of the day thinking about it and up till now I'm still not sure. So, who should I trust? Nana,whom I've known since her first day here or Yati, who always says it like it is whenever we work together.
Hmm... Quite the dilemma I have here.
I feel like I'm being pulled and pushed back and forth by two different people right now, and I have to get out of the middle of it! These people have their own issues, and they need to deal with them without me. I don't need the stress, and I certainly don't deserve the responsibility of fixing something that I didn't break.
Sorry girls, but I've got better things to do......

Episode 34: The One Where Juraimi Tries To Enjoy His Off Day.
There's only so much I can do to help. I'm really doing my best. But eventually my body will give up on me even though I still want to continue. I can't do this by myself...
Today was my off day so I decided to go out for a change. I'm starting to regret my decision because I think I went over board with my spending today... Didn't realized I was spending so much until I got home and checked my receipts. Do I really all this stuff I bought?? Oh no...
I received a weird text message from Nana regarding work. I didn't get the meaning of the message at first but finally she got straight to the point. She's always like that. Always keeping secrets from me. Don't know why though...
I decide to cut short my off day and dropped by the workplace and met up with Farris & Nana to find out what was really happening. I have to say that I really didn't like what I heard. Let just say someone has been running their mouth and somehow my name came up. So now the Manager knows too.... Great, just great....
Oh well, I guess it can't be helped. I'll handle this problem later but for now, its time to enjoy the rest of my off day.
End.

Episode 33: The Post Raya Edition
Is it just me or did hari raya just come and gone? Tak meriah sangat kan this year? Maybe because it fell on a weekday and that's why it so not happening. Am I making any sense here? Sorry for the choice of words, my minds just not working properly today...
How was your hari raya? Must be very exciting right? Did stuff yourself with all those good food? Lontong, ketupat and so many types of cookies to pick from. And of course not forgetting the duit raya your got from your grand parents, relatives and many more. How much did you get?
This year just like the year before, I didn't get to celebrate with my family. I had to work lah... Even some of the Expo staff and my customers asked why I was working. What am I supposed to say? So the family had to go without me. Sedih kan? Takde chance pun nak pakai baju kurung that my father bought for me just for this raya! Haiz... But, looking at the bright side, at least some people got to celebrate it. Yeah I sacrificed myself to work so that others can go out and enjoy themselves. But that's okay, because sometimes you have to take one for the team if you know what I mean. Its not always about me, I'm not a selfish person.
This week, Zaki and Wan Fazli dropped by the store. I had a good chat with both these guys. Wan Fazli has a new haircut. Just one word to describe it: NASTY! Sigh... He used to look so cool but now... Better not say!
Officially, lets welcome back Nana back to work. Shes been kind of AWOL the past week or so. Lets just say shes been occupied with some personal matters lately. But, its great to have her back but I don't know for how much longer. Oh well, I'll just enjoy having her around for company while shes still working here.
I really hope Faris gets me something this time around when he comes back from his trip. He never gets me anything! Whats up with that?
The "I Want To Quit 7-11!" saga is gonna start again soon. And maybe, just maybe, I feel like I wanna be a part of it. I know... I know... That what I said last time around but I really don't want to be around when SiteX comes around. Maybe as a customer that's all!
Today, someone younger than me referred to me as "staff". I don't take disrespect like that too kindly. Luckily I managed to keep my cool. Please don't do that again.
Finally, a girl in a yellow kebaya came up to me asked me where I lived and for my age. Whats up with that? I swear I don't know that girl...
That's all for today.
Take care.

Episode 31: Still Living In Your Fantasy World?
Just want to say that this is just my honest opinion and nothing else. Whether you take it seriously or not, is up to you.
I believe that God made us all equal. We are all the same. We're not perfect and each of us have our own flaws. No one person is better than the other. The only thing that maybe sets any 2 people apart is what they achieve in this lifetime. For some, success comes instantly. For the rest its a long & winding road. But when you finally make it, please remain humble. Never forget the people who helped you reached your dreams.
Being in a relationship isn't easy. So is breaking up. But the one thing that links these two together is HONESTY. I know its hard but it will really help you in these situations. In a relationship, when you're honest with each other, you trust each other more. Trusting one another is the most important thing while being in a relationship. In the case of a break up, telling the other half how you really feel about the relationship might save you from always giving in to each others demands.
Please use that brain & think for yourself. Just because the person is of higher ranking than you doesn't mean he has to be right. Don't just follow blindly. They're human too you know so they also can be wrong.
Life is not fair. Never been & never will be. So please stop your complaining already! I found out from a young age that life wasn't fair. Just ignore the negatives and take in the positives! It will be better I promise you.
Please grow up. You are not a kid anymore so please, stop acting like one. Just how long do you plan to keep this up? Change the way you see things. See the bigger picture and not just whats in front of you. Don't get it? Need an example? Take your workplace for example. Are you one of the best over there? Do people look up to you? If your answer is no, then how do you expect to be successful somewhere else when you are still a nobody at your current workplace. You should use your current workplace as a stepping stone to bigger things. Its not about how much you want to earn but how much experience you've acquired.
Noticed how people have been acting strange around you? Its not them, its you...

Episode 30: Hard Work And Its Rewards.
After a couple of dark days, I'm glad to say that I'm back to my normal, happy self!
Not too long ago someone told me good things happen to good people. Is this what they meant? I still can't believe it. I'm looking at my payslip again just to make sure it right!
But was it worth it? I'm not sure...
All those weeks working non-stop with no off-days. Working double shifts a couple of times. Covering for people for whatever reasons. It was pretty tiring for me. Would I do it all over again?
What?! Are you crazy?!
Not too long ago someone told me good things happen to good people. Is this what they meant? I still can't believe it. I'm looking at my payslip again just to make sure it right!
But was it worth it? I'm not sure...

Episode 29: Not Again....
Sometimes, I just wish I have something positive to talk about...
Guess what?
I was left all alone AGAIN...
But then again, I was expecting it...
Oh yeah, don't bother explaining yourself...
I'm not interested.
You see, during that time all by myself, it got me thinking...
Whats all this about again?
Honestly, I don't remember....
Plus, the Manager called.
She gave me an earful over the phone.
She complained that I closed the shop early last night.
I tried to explain that the timing was slow by 20 minutes.
I don't think she believed me.
I can't believe she tried to blame me ONLY...
Oh... I forgot! The other one working with me that night is one of her "favourites" as well...
On a brighter note, today's my brothers' birthday!
Sucks big time that I was working on his birthday.
I promise I'll make it up to him on my off day...
So sorry I missed your birthday bro...
Smell you later...

Episode 28: What Is This Feeling Taking Over Me?
I need to get out of there now!
I am generally quiet and have control over my emotions.
It is difficult to predict what will upset me, so when I do lose my cool, people don't know how to react.
Anyone trying to pacify me will be the first one to get a verbal bashing.
I generally get upset when people accuse me of doing something wrong.
I hate being reminded about mistakes I've made in the past.
I have the potential to be terribly vindictive if rubbed the wrong way.
Recently I've been having this feelings of being used and manipulated, and made a sucker of.
I've tried to ignore this fact for so long even though it is so clear for me to see.
There are so many incidents that I can think of.
I know what I have to do.
I need to choose my friends, not let them choose me.
I am feeling depressed with my life.
Disgusted and dissatisfied.
My friends around me are little comfort.
I'm starting to feel that my life lacks meaning.
I need to take control of my life.
Realize whats really important to me.
Leave out all the rest.
Hopefully, I will come out of this rut a better man, a better friend & a better human being.

Episode 27: A Man On A Mission
Sometimes if you want something, you have to go get it yourself!
Today, I decided to come to work a bit early.
I wanted to do something that I should have done a long time ago.
I decided to confront my manager.
Face to face.
Oh yeah...
I needed to get a few things of my chest.
And this was the perfect time to do it.
So I asked her why I had to work 11 days to get my only off day.
She said I already got an off day.
Wrong answer!
I reminded her that was for me covering for Kala.
My off day this week was burned when I had to come to work again.
She then told me to be patient and that I would be earning more for hari raya.
Once again, not the answer I want to hear.
I told her directly that I'm not here for the money.
I don't care about that.
Her facial expression changed.
When she tried to explain again, I turned my back to her.
I've heard enough.
Did she get it?
I don't know.
But I think I proved to her that I'm not like the others whom she can manipulate.
I must say that doing that felt damn good.
That set my mood for the rest of the day.
I wasn't going to take any crap from anyone, friend or stranger.
I hate explaining stuff to people...
Somebody asked me this question; "Why are you so hardworking?".
My answer to that is simple.
Its not that I'm hardworking, but its because I'm just doing more while you are just standing around.
Its my job.
They pay me to do it so I try to do the best job that I can.
It surprises me that they still don't get it.
Faris thinks that they're too pampered.
I'm starting to believe that he's right.
Coming to work late, complaining, not knowing how to do things and not even bothering to ask how to do it.
Am I being over-critical here?

Episode 26: Bored In Bedok
I can't sleep.
I'm tired but when I lay on my bed, I can't seem to close my eyes.
I wonder why?
Oh well... Might as well update my blog since I'm awake.
I'm tired but when I lay on my bed, I can't seem to close my eyes.
I wonder why?
Oh well... Might as well update my blog since I'm awake.
My work life is still the same.
Despite our differences about certain things, she still looks for me to solve her staff problems. This is nothing new to me.
But working 16 hours during the fasting month really takes its toll on you.
Physically and mentally.
Some friends of mine have been very critical of me for helping out while others have been supportive.
Personally, I respect each one of your opinions but I will continue to help out that bitch whenever I can.
Hopefully, my sacrifices won't go to waste.
Yeah, you'll probably hear me bitch about it but unlike the rest, I try to finish what I started.
Recently, I've found myself working all by myself at the store.
I don't have a problem with that but it does limit what I can do.
As long as the manager doesn't piss me off unfairly, I'm good.
She plans out the schedule in such a way even I don't understand.
Shes so bad, she makes all the bad managers look good.
Part of the problem is this girl.
This girl is working from morning but the manager still puts her to work in the evening.
She won't come.
She'll be too tired.
She wants to quit!
I don't know how long this will carry on but the situation is starting to burden me.
And that's not cool.
Janna dropped by yesterday.
But she never even said hi.
Instead, I got to meet her friend instead.
Whats up with that?
Weird...
On a positive note, I got to work with Faris this few days.
Its always fun working with him.
I think hes the only one who understands me best.
Maybe because we've worked there the longest.
Yesterday, he dropped by my neighborhood and said that the people in my neighborhood were more friendly than his.
I was like, "What?!"
Only he can come out with something as random as that.
He was like a tourist visiting Bedok for the first time.
On a final note, if you're set on something and you believe in it, you should put your mind, body and soul to get it.
Don't quit!
If you do, then you're a joke.
No one will ever take whatever you say or do seriously.
Especially me.
Think about it.

Sound Trax
I don't want to be the one to blame
You like fun and games
Keep playing em
I'm just saying
Think back then
We was like one and the same
On the right track
But I was on the wrong train
Just like that
Now you've got a face to pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain like a maze you can never escape the rain
Every damn day is the same shade of grey
Hey
I used have a little bit of a plan
Used to Have a concept of where I stand
But that concept slipped right out of my hands
Now I don't really even know who I am
Yo, what do I have to say
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
What ever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen with me
Back then, I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you proved to me unintentionally
That you would self-destruct eventually
Now I'm thinking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work
Cause it's really much worse than I thought
I wished you were something that you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got
You turned your back
And walked away in shame
All you got is a memory of pain
Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground
I hear your voice in my head when no one else is around
What do I have to say
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
What ever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen with me
I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me
The song is Believe Me by Fort Minor. I love this song! The words are so meaningful and I can totally relate to it. Do you have a favourite song? Share it!

Episode 25: An Eventful Day
Hallo.... How are you? Its been a while hasn't it? Make yourself a cup of warm Milo or coffee and take a seat... The show is about to begin!
Isn't it wonderful what a good nights sleep can do for you? I feel so refreshed, I decided to update this thing! Lots of stuff happened recently but I'll start with the sacking of Aishah. I know she isn't easy to work with from what I heard from the guys but I guess she had it coming to her. Personally, I think she has an attitude problem. She was good at certain things, but not everything. She didn't actually quit, she got fired through SMS. Truly pathetic if you ask me.
Anyone remembered about the new girl? The one I'm supposed to teach? Guess what? This week will be her last week at work! Whats up with that?! Oh well....... At least she still remembered what I taught her. Haiz......
Helmi and Dianah lost money last week. The amount was quite high. OUCH! The manager did everything from checking the safe to watching the CCTV and still she couldn't find it. I still don't know how 2 people can lose the amount of money they lost. Its just not possible! Maybe they....... Nah! They wouldn't dare. Or would they? Hmmm.......
Talking about Dianah, she tried to quit last week. Unfortunately after a heart to heart talk with the manager, she didn't get what she wanted. Instead, she was told that she would be working the whole of next week! That must have sucked big time! I understand her situation, its damn tiring working 2 jobs at once. Too bad the manager doesn't think so.....
I did something random today. I picked my hand phone went through my messages folder. I was pleasantly surprised that I kept over 300 messages in my phone. I decided to read each one of them and some of them made me remember about certain incidents in my life. Others made me realise that there are some people who trust me enough for them to tell me about their problems and ask me for my advice. For me, helping the people I care about comes naturally and if I can help I will certainly be there. But, trust me when I say this, I won't be there for you all the time. Like you, I too have my own problems to take care of. If you can accept this fact, then we're cool.
I have no social life........ Help me!!! I miss my friends so much. We don't get to talk much nowadays with me busy with work all the time. So sorry guys..... I'll reply your SMSes if I can or try to get me on MSN... This sucks!!!
As Hari Raya approaches, the situation is getting from bad to worse. I'm getting the sense of deja vu all over again. Wait, haven't I been through this before? The manager and people around me might be new but the problems are still the same....... I'm so sick and tired of it!!!

Tuesday, September 02, 2008
First off, let me say "Thank you" to the people who dropped by the store last week. It was nice to see all of you guys again. It made me remember about the good times we used to have when you guys were still around. I miss those days.........
Maybe, this week someone else I know might turn up.
Something has been bothering me this few days. I have been accused of taking advantage of other people. Is this true?! I don't think I've done such a thing to anyone before. But if anyone feels differently, please let me know.........
I don't believe it. Just what the hell is happening?

Episode 24: The New Girl
A new girl joined the store this week. She was shy at first but I think she'll be fine once she gets to know the rest of the gang here. The manager has assigned me teach her. I didn't want to do it but the manager gave me no choice. Hopefully, she doesn't turn out to be like the last girl I taught. Fingers crossed!!
Today I got talk to her and learned a bit more about her. We covered a lot of things but something else that she said really caught my attention. What was it? I can't tell you because its between me and her only.
Its been a strange last couple of days for me. I'm not sure if strange is the right word to describe it. Things have happened that made me question certain people's actions. There were things that were said which bruised my feelings. But all of this have opened my eyes and I now see these people in a different way.
I tried to do the right thing, but I still ended up being the bad guy.

Episode 23: The Aftermath
Once again, I find myself having to explain myself again. I hate doing it. Why don't people just get it the first time around? Here we go again...
I went home straight after work. When I reached home and turned on my PC, someone left a bunch of messages for me to read. Yaay! Someone sure had alot of free time on their hands. Browse through the thing but I got bored and went to take a shower instead. Okay here's the thing, what I posted once again got on your nerves. Fair enough. But tell me, is it wrong to say whats on my mind? It is my blog right? And trust me I never meant to hurt any one's feelings when I post something online. To me, this thing is just a diary of my life for people to read and nothing else. Its not meant to be personal so that's why you don't need a password to read about it.
Now back to You. Let me say you are over-reacting again. Stop making this bigger than it already is. You keeping bringing up things that happened in the past. Explaining that it wasn't your fault, you don't care and you're tired of trying impressing everybody. Haven't I heard all this before? You need to remember this:

- Its not your fault. Did I even say that its your fault?
- Stop bringing up matters that happened in the past. I'm over all those things already.
- Stop being so insecure about yourself.
Get that? So, stop making everything about you. It was never about you, it was more about me. I'm not 19 anymore, I'm 25 and I see things differently. When you realise that and you start thinking more maturely, we'll have that heart to heart conversation that we should have a long time ago. Until then, life & work goes on as usual.
You should do the same.
Sincerely,

Episode 22: Seeing People For What They Really Are.
After taking a second look at recent events, I was finally able to see them for what they really are. A little distance, thanks to time, gave me clarity.
One word. Hypocrites. (Don't know what it means? Go look it up cause I'm not gonna do it for you.) Each and everyone of them. The "ladies" at the workplace that is. Don't believe me? Read on...
Yesterday afternoon the manager was talking to me and Faris regarding Aishah wanting to take off on Saturday and Sunday. She was going on & on about this & that and it looked like Aishah wasn't going to get what she wanted. Today, when I dropped by the store I saw Aishah. She was looking very happy. Feeling curious, I checked the schedule. I couldn't believe what I saw. She actually got what she wanted.
WHAT THE HELL!!!
Semalam, kau kutuk-kutuk budak tu pasal hal ni but in the end kau bagi dia ambik off jugak?! Macam sial kan....
I talked to Faris & Helmi about this and they agreed with me too.
Talking about Aishah, she came up to me and explained her actions from last Sunday. After hearing it, I don't believe her at all. And I don't believe Dianah also. I'm not gonna be on anyone's side this time, just mine.
Korang, cakap suka hati korang aje. Kalau tengah busy, kau keje sorang, lepas tu kau tahu kedai sebelah ada dua orang, at least salah satu boleh datang tolong sekejap kan? Tak payah lama-lama, sekejap aje aku mintak. Pon tak datang jugak kan? Habis tu nak komen pasal perangai aku hari tu lagi. Please lah, kalau dah kena macam gitu kau expect aku senyum aje ke? Tak logik langsung!
Jangan melampau sangat. Korang ingatkan aku ni adik-adik korang ke?
Juraimi J.
"Salah satu hari ni, korang mesti kena dengan aku punya!"

Episode 21: The Reunion
Yesterday, Faizul dropped by the store to pay me & Faris a visit. It was great to see him again. Seems like nothing changed with him. He's still the loud talking joker that I remember from way back. We talked about old times when he was still working with us. Trust me, there's a lot of memories. Later, Dianah also dropped by the store. It was almost like old times with the four of us. Sure, there were some members missing but for that one night only, The Kliq was back together!
Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

Episode 20: Critical comments
Hello again...
My off day got burned again. Thanks a lot. For what? Had to come to work again on Saturday and work for 4 hours until the next person came. Are you kidding me? I don't how I managed to put up with this shit...
I can't believe we are actually wasting our energy preparing the store for Mr. Big shot's visit. The guy only comes once every 2 months... And the result is always the same... We should be concentrating on something else. And not on him.
Today was so frustrating! I knew that I was going to work alone but I was expecting a little bit of help but it never EVEN came. The other store must have been very "busy" for not even one of them to drop by and help me out. When they eventually came, each of them asked me the strangest of questions.
Questions like,"Why are there 2 store keys inside the store?"
Huh?
And,"What is it I'm supposed to take?"
And then leaves the store without taking anything. Huh?
At least one of us was having fun and enjoying themselves at work.
And that is why I don't like to depend on other people.
Some people just can take criticism. It is not all bad. When someone criticizes you, you take it as motivation to become better. And not to become worse! So, please don't bitch and moan about it to me. Go do something about it...
I have always been right when judging people. And my opinions of certain people will always be the same until they prove me wrong. Until then, this opinions will always be mine alone.
Until next time,
Juraimi

Today was so frustrating! I knew that I was going to work alone but I was expecting a little bit of help but it never EVEN came. The other store must have been very "busy" for not even one of them to drop by and help me out. When they eventually came, each of them asked me the strangest of questions.
Questions like,"Why are there 2 store keys inside the store?"
Huh?
And,"What is it I'm supposed to take?"
And then leaves the store without taking anything. Huh?
At least one of us was having fun and enjoying themselves at work.
And that is why I don't like to depend on other people.
Some people just can take criticism. It is not all bad. When someone criticizes you, you take it as motivation to become better. And not to become worse! So, please don't bitch and moan about it to me. Go do something about it...
I have always been right when judging people. And my opinions of certain people will always be the same until they prove me wrong. Until then, this opinions will always be mine alone.
Until next time,
Juraimi

Minor Update
Hey...
Sorry for not updating this thing... So busy with stuff like work and all that and by the end of the day, I just felt that I got no energy to turn on the computer.
Nothing much happening at home. So I guess I can say that every things normal there. At work, its the same old drama with same people trying to impress people I don't give a shit about. But wait! Its not always gloom and doom this week. Subway opened at Singapore Expo this week! Meet a few of their staff, they seemed like friendly people.
At Subway, Eat Fresh...
I wanna take this time to congratulate my old classmate, Luqman for getting married this past week. All the best to you & your family! Sorry for not attending your wedding bro... My Bad...
Fasting month is right around the corner. I hate this this time of the year. All the posers will be out in numbers just to ruin this month. I'm gonna be surrounded by them. Haiz... Just have to be patient a bit more. They will get theirs soon.
Feel bored? Can't sleep? Need to talk somebody? Call me! Or you can e-mail me, SMS me, message me on msn. Or if you see me, come talk to me personally! Don be shy...
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't take drugs.
You might call me boring, I call it living the STRAIGHT-EDGE life.
And so with that I leave you with today's advice of the day:
Sometimes, its the things that you don't do, that shows people what kind of a person you really are.
Take care,
JuRaimi J.
