Wish You Were Here

I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a shit
Behind this wall you just walk through it

And I remember

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)
I love, the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is
And the truth, is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I, never wanna let go
Let go oh oh

Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

You're Seriously Getting On My Nerves

You pervert!

I wish your eyeballs get some weird disease or infection!

I Wonder ... Wonder.... Wonder

It doesn't take a genius to figure out all the weird hints she was dropping, especially not after hearing you answering that I'm the one someone else has been talking about.

From all the weird things shes been saying, I can only figure out that you and your friends have been assuming that I've actually been going after you. So now I wonder what other twisted ideas you all have conjured up.

Maybe you just never had anyone pay any attention to you?

All Done In Less Than 1 Minute

I get to vote FINALLY and it happened so fast, that I still don't understand why other people grumble that it's a chore. It took me longer to park the car than get through the whole voting process all because some taxi driver decide to block the road.

Anyway... I hope my vote helps.

Good Luck to the next President.

I Love You

La la
La la la la

I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you

And I, I like the way
you're such a star
But that's not why I love you
Hey
Do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?


you're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you

La la
La la la la
La la
La la la la
I like the way you misbehave
When we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool
When I am complicated
But that's not why I love you

Hey
Do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel, too?
Do you need, do you need me?

Do you need me?

You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you

And that's why I love you

Yeah - Oh.
Oh.

Even though we didn't make it through
I am always here for you
You

Essential In Life

Saw this as one of the tweets by TheNotebook on Twitter:

"Never reject anybody in your life, because good people give us happiness & bad people give us experience. Both are essential in life"

A few of my best friends popped instantly into my head. Then only in the next few thoughts did MJ come into mind. It wasn't the fact that I was evaluating my best friends first, but it was some things that Amy has been mentioning about someone whom I'm still weighing in.

As mentioned in previous posts, I usually gripe about people to Amy and this time is no different. However, what I find strange this time is that she has been telling me not to get too close to this certain person and doesn't really like that idea that I'm still alright being friends. Funny thing is she has never met the person and yet she has strong objections. I'm not sure if she's trying to save me from impending heartache and sorrow? Oh the drama!

But honestly, I don't know if she's right, but for now, my decision is that I will stick with my gut and see where this friendship leads to.

So there was that one bad person, well there were quite a few but just this one epic case, that pissed me off so much that I hope at every turn I do not see him ever, as I really don't now how I would react. Probably I'd just turn and walk away, but then again, if I was in the company of Amy, she might just kill the bugger? Hahahahaha! Oh yes, I do have HAPPY thoughts about her killing some people.

Just like the quote said, "bad people give us experience". And so far, that one experience has lasted me quite long. Doesn't mean I'm looking for more experience. No. I rather not go through that shit again, which Amy thinks I will if I continue with the one I'm weighing in. But if it does happen. Oh Well.... It'll just be another mark in my life.

10 Days Till I Make My First Vote!

Who to choose? I honestly don't give a crap right now. I might read all the write ups coming in the next few days, I might just go in and just pick the one the pen lands on. 

FINALLY 

I get to Vote!

Good luck to the next President Tan. 

Something To Think About

Reflections

Seems like some people never change. It's been a year since I left the place, and still the attitudes of the staff there have not changed. Not only are they still taking their own sweet time to get things done, they still take things, and people, for granted.

While bitching to my other close friends about what happened, Adi mentioned something that hit the nail on the head. Not to mention, the very same thing was broadcast on the show Undercover Boss - that the "attitudes of the staff are a reflection of the manager's". Which, looking at the attitudes of staff from different outlets, you do realise that they do tend to follow the manager's quite a bit.

After helping out at a few outlets, I realized that there's one outlet that have almost crazy staff now that the manager is also a big joker, while they were a bit more uptight with rules under the previous one. Then there is another outlet's staff that are rather laid back, chatty and easy going, even when the place is fully packed and busy. Somehow their attitudes also seem to rub off on their customers as well.

Then comes this one outlet, and the reason why there's no change or improvement goes back to the manager. It was probably why I wanted out of that place because if you can't change what is bringing you down, then you have to leave! So since staff there can't be bothered to improve themselves, or work harder, or try to speed up their service. Basically, they're cocky - thinking they're the best, that their efforts are always good enough. When there's feedback, they don't even see that it's a problem with them and rather think that the customers are all impatient and bitchy.

Yes there are times when the customers are just pissy about everything, but if you actually listen and take note of what the customer is trying to tell you, you'll realise that sometimes there's a flaw in the system. Could the flaw be rectified? DEFINITELY! However they rather cover thier arses, and make all the excuses they can find, rather than try to improve. Sometimes you have to put yourself in the customers shoes and see if they were being bitchy or that the service was really crap.

Honestly for that day, the service was crap as a salad came out before iced water. Worse still, a sandwich came out before 2 glasses of wine. Really? You still want to make excuses for your staff and insist that the customer was being a bitch? The bar might have a lot of orders but that doesn't mean the kitchen was just waiting for orders, had salads all ready & waiting in the fridge, or had sandwiches pre-made waiting to be toasted.

So you've always said you don't like other outlet's staff coming around and changing things, but I think it's high time you look at your attitude that is rubbing off your staff, that they give excuses because you give excuses. They've gone cocky because you've been cocky by saying that customers are bitchy and so no matter how badly you do, it's just that the customer is having a bad day rather than it being lousy service rendered.

Wake Up & Smell The Bull Shit!

Who's Reading This?

I haven't been blogging much lately, let alone editing the blog. Then I decided to update some links in I had and that's when I finally got an answer to a something I've wondered about for quite some time - "Who's reading my blog?".

Finally I get to the tab about the traffic flow to the blog and I find out who actually visits quite often, and that honor goes to Ms UbeRFan! 

I also found out that a certain picture has led quite a few people to the blog, and definitely the link on my FB profile does its job for some people.

It also gets interesting to know that site visits are rather high on certain days. Probably some people just keep coming along trying to find out things they don't dare to ask, hoping that I've already blogged about the issue.

Oh well... stay tuned for more I guess.

Dear Sudha & Yau Ching

Sometimes, You Really Surprise Me

When you insist that you want to carry all the shopping.

When you decide to hold the door open.

To show some concern regarding my wellbeing.

Remembering what we had at the restaurant more than a year ago, what we had the first time, and where.

That you want to change because of something I said.

and sometimes I wonder why.....

Someone Like You

"I heard that you've settled down, that you've found a girl and you're married now...."

That line alone from the song reminds me of you but it's never good when I get reminded of all the good times we still could have had if you were just honest. Still don't understand what went on in that head of yours, to decide to lie about her and what eventually would take place, but I think you were in your own fantasy world. Seriously, the memory of the stories you came up with - my life being in danger, having 2 passports, going on top secret missions - just goes to show how much of a nut case you became trying to keep things secret.

"You lost the love I loved the most"
"It took so long just to feel alright...'cos you broke all your promises"

Guess it was only hard at first because I still loved you as one of my best friends, but as time went by, I stopped missing you and started missing the things we did. I still miss the times just having someone to call and chat when I was down, who would meet me at the Palm and just laugh the night away under the stars without a care in the world what time it was. It still hurts whenever I drive past that spot.

"Nevermind I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you, too"

I know I'll never find someone like you, and I don't think I really would want to find another nut case like you. But someone to share that same kind of lighthearted, easygoing fun we had..... That I would love to find again.

I think I'm at the point I'm ready to meet you face to face and thank you for opening my eyes, and for making me much more wary of people like you.

I wish you well and hope you have a good life in whichever path you take.

He's Out Of My Life....

....and I hope for good. Memories of him will stay on for sure but I hope I don't ever have to work with him, or someone of his "calibre" again.

Finally... DoDo has left the building!!!! 

Year 7

Last year I wished I had more control in life compared to the blog. I guess my wish sort of came true... which is good enough for me.

Life has been busier since I started permanently with the company and I'm not complaining other than the fact that there's someone just pulling everyone down at work. Good news is that he's finally decided to leave, and no one is actually sad about it. That's the sad part I guess - that someone can be so disliked that everyone is happy about the fact that he's leaving. Oh well.....

Looking at the past year, there hasn't been much posts in anger, which I guess is a good sign. I think.

Maybe it's time for another blog challenge.
