The fact that I'm back here I have to choose nicer pics only cause the connectionnnnn is so so so slowwwwww =D

I'm so gonna upload some nice pics here to not abandone this pitiful blog :p

Story stopped in January and I shall continue with January stories first. I think there are still lots of Nov and Dec stories not been told yet.

Here goes the WonderWorks and NBA on the 9th of January 2009!

WonderWorks is a place where they have lots of interesting things for you to learn and to see and to play =) and the building I saw in an email is one of the fifty greatest building in the world!

NBA needless to explain of course it's basketball =p

Pictures are randomly arranged =p I'm too lazy to arrange them in sequenceeeee...

These are us at home before going? Blur facesss =p

Yes yes we had breakfast in Sizzler and I miss Sizzler so much now

And this is the wonderful and amazing WonderWorks building from the outside :)

it's location:
Yup the Pointe Orlando

Some of the interesting stimulations they have there

NO I don't like hurricanes
and luckily we didn't experience any hurricane in Orlando when we were there ;)

These bubblesss thingy is one of my favourites in WonderWorks!!!
We could make big biggg bubbles :)
Don't ask me why so many bubble picss =p yes cause i love them most ;)
Yes we're still ginas! Who don't like bubbblessss ?!

This is some game thingy.

The hand thingy

Some dunno what!

Nahh no pain lying there at all =p

Some velocity thingy

This is the mind game where the ball moves towards to your opponent if you're in a very calm and relax mood.
The calm and relax one wins!
:p

LLM and TTY were inside for like ages cause the ball on the table just couldn’t move. We were too calm =p

As I said, they have all these unique and wonderful things like this picture is one of my favourite one :)
Observe the rose properly and you'll see it's so pretty :D

This is one of the most worth it thingy inside WonderWorks.
Oh ya we paid like 20dollars for the entrance fees?
Cause we thought it would be fun but it was just moderate
AND AND we wanted to play the laser tag so desperately cause there isn't any laser tag in Msia who knows the system spoilt when we went!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT FAIR!
I want to playyyyyyyyyy!
Ok I didn’t tell what’s it

It’s a roller coaster stimulator where you can create your own path and the other one you choose the path you like among the few paths they created. I tried both and both are crazyyyyyyyyyyyy!

We are astronomerssssssss :)

Some aeroplane lanching stimulator thingy

This lets you land the aeroplane which I crashed lots of times.

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL for million of times but I landed successfully at last ;)

These are some cute and funny machines they have there.

Yes

It’s the WONDERWORKS :D

Lastly, this is a picture of all of us who went on that day :)

im toooo lazy to introduce everyone =p
but hey that was us in the trolley station waiting for trolley to go back and we were going to catch the LIVE NBA game!!!

So here goes the NBA! YAYY

And oh ya we were forced to leave before the game even ended!

Christmas Party! (ages ago around 3 weeks ago)

2009-01-01T20:54:00.000-05:00

Ok we super outdated and this blog is dead for ages dee...
Sorry for that cause we always work and off day busy going out and so lazy to update haha
Now back to three weeks ago, it was the most important party of SeaWorld which is held annually, the christmas party in Mariot hotel. I'm just too lazy to elaborate..the food was not bad and we danced and listened to live band that night =). Dancing was fun of course but not with high heels! haha anyway just want to share some pics with all of you during that night.
These are pictures I have now and I will get others from Emily tomorrow night.

Before going to the party..preparation and waiting...

Pics below are from other people's camera~

Joke of the day

2008-12-15T08:05:00.003-05:00

Tee Yee, William, Tania, Allison and I were having lunch together at the Gate 3 employee lounge and the four Asian Chinese began to teach Allison simple Mandarin. At the same time, she taught us some French as she learned French during high school.

Allison

She said it is good to know some simple French like:

"Je ni sai pas''... pronounced as 'Je ni sia pa'.. that means 'i dun understand'..

Or you can say 'no se' (pronounced as 'no say'),, means I don't know how to speak'.. sounds bit like broken english..

We continued to teach her some Mandarin like ‘不准笑’ because the siao po TAN TEE YEE always laughs like crazy even when she is in US.. Also we taught her '不知道’ and '不懂'..

Haha... Super cute

When we went back to vending room, we saw Will's name tag written he is from China.. Haha. He has a few name tags,, all with different countries such as Australia, Peru and now is China..

This is WILL

Tee Yee started to tease him, saying that he is from China but doesnt know how to speak Mandarin... Haha,, a shame of chinese.. hahaha...

Now the joke began.. Will asked Tee Yee to say beer in Chinese... Tee Yee proudly started to show her fluent Mandarin by saying '啤酒'. A second later, both Will and Allison simultaneously said 'Beer in Chinese'... and the whole room was filled with laugher... hahaha..

Oh yea... another thing about US people is that they don't use 'lousy' like we Malaysian and Singaporean and Indonesian do...Instead they use 'sucks'.. hahha...

Lousy people use 'lousy'? or Lousy people never use 'lousy'??

Thanks Giving Shopping Spree!! 281108

2008-12-13T09:22:00.015-05:00

This is a fiendishly outdated post.. but still I insisted to jot it down as memory before updating other more interesting posts...

Never thought that Thanks Giving is such a big celebration in US.. The whole park was flooded with thousands of holiday makers and according to Luis, my co-worker, this is one of the best time in the year to shop coz there is sale going on EVERYWHERE!! Yeah, SALE!!

People here were insane when they heard or see 'SALE' to the extent that they could step on people to death just to get into the grocery store.. sad case..

I was quite lucky that I had off day on that day. Went to Prime Outlet with some of my friends here..

The three Brazilian.. From left, Diana, Mariana and Marcela.. Met them in the I-ride Trolley...

The people going with me to Prime Outlet.. From left, Leslie, Fanny (a funny gal) and the cool man Darrell (my housemate)..

Darrell.. Haha.. look like he was 'arm chio'-ing...

Leslie..
Emily and Eva..
Haha.. wanted me to take a natural picture of her.. But that was the natural pose she gave me.. what to do? hahahahha
Shocked! Dunou what happened to her eyes.. Perhaps because of the reflection of light from the other side of the glass...
Hao Zhi and I...
We went to SeaWorld to take their breakfast.. (off day also miss seaworld food).. We shall see how tempting were they.. hahaha..

Potato..
Egg..
Forgot to introduce another Indonesian on the right, Stacy..
Leslie and Mun Hou watching news..
I went to Human Resource Office to get my bank card and a new SAP number as I couldnt log in the website while they were having breakfast... I took my breakfast everyday at home unlike they all.. haha..
HR office..
Below are the scenery around outside of SeaWorld and HR office which is located opposite SeaWorld..

Pine trees...

Trolley Station at SeaWorld.. Waited for them to finish their breakfast while listening to my lovers' songs.. hahaha.. Went to Prime Outlet after that..

Prime Outlet:

Took a quite expensive lunch at the food court there...

Mun Hou..

Leslie bought a T-shirt at Tommy Hilfiger...

Specially for me and my brother.. St John in US!! hahaha

Spent ALOT at Prime Outlet,, Bought wallets, my working black shoe, few t-shirts, and so on..

Went to Millenium Mall by Lynx bus after that to continue our hunt for cheap stuff..

Darrell.

In the mall..

'Nothing much' to shop there.. Actually there were lots of stuff there,, just that our wallet left 'not much'..

Finally got to rest my legs while all the crazy girls still hunting for their preys in the mall.. Hao Zhi and I were discussing about camera and he tought me a few stuffs about camera.. He is a pro too!!
Went to visit Apple shop... Everything is sooooo nice inside.. but again, our wallet left 'not much'.. Saw a headset.. it was just real nice.. beyond words could describe... the whole shop was filled with the noise of people,, but once you wear it, you can only hear the soothing music inside.. and it costs around a few hundreds USD...
Went to Guess to get a handbag for my mum and a purse for my sister..

Dog!!!!! OMG I miss Bobby terribly now.... How I hope I can bring him here and stay with me.. haha

Aquatica on 4th Dec

2008-12-11T00:04:00.011-05:00

That was my fifth day off I guess and went to Aquatica and enjoyed myself a lot with Charmaine. Yup only both of us went. (Had to wear swim suit for all the rides and walked throughout the whole park in winter, yup was quite cold but still ok cause people here said will get colder in Jan). Weee so yup off we went early in the morning. Ok not that early lar haha we packed our lunch before we went cause dah tertipu an expensive lunch when went to SeaWorld, this time clever dee lor =p
Anyway, here are the pics...

The start of our Aquatica trip~
Off we went with iTrolley and met Kelvin and LM who were going to work

Charmaine and I in the stop 40 where we walk there everyday to wait for iTrolley to SeaWorld

Inside iTrolley

We all have the same uniform!!
(haha ok lar I wasn't wearing mine on that day!! Day off mar =p)

In front of the park
*Warning: lots of coming pics will be same background with two diff persons haha sorry cause both of us went only

An Aquatica employee so kind to offer to take pics of both of us so weee a pic of us

Me with the animals and icons of Aquatica

Same background with Charmaine in front

Us and the Anheuseur-Busch logo
(this pic blur cause we simply asked ppl to help us take =P)
but i love the logo made from grass!

Before entering

Saw this guy and the handsome eagle once we entered the water park!

We stood there so long and he scolded us for getting near to him and his eagle
and when this lady came he was so kind to offer her to let her touch the eagle and take pics with the eagle!!!!! WTH, racist!

We had a lot of fun! All the rides most of them were great (though wasn't many rides and not that big in there). There wasn't much people and we went to all the rides more than two times per ride haha and mind you all the ride you have to climb like five storeys before you can enjoy and slide down for only like one min? or 30 seconds? haha
Anyway we worked to hard to climb up the stairs and we loves most of the slides, especially loggerhead!!!! (we had that ried four times!!!!!! ) We kept all our stuffs inside the very expensive locker and so no pics of us playing haha got also cannot show lar we were in our swimsuit all the time =p

Here are pics after our rides and we took a great shower there~

(After showering our hair super geli cause we didn't bring comb!!!)

Me with the super nice deisgn of changing room in front and bathroom inside

Same background diff person again haha

The nice bathroom

I brought my own all these and see they provided everything in the bathroom!!!!

Us after showering (had to take ourselves cause nobody there to take pics for us!)

Us and our favourite Loggerhead!!!!
This ride is special and creative and I don't think it can be found easily elsewhere...

In front of somewhere in Aquatica

*ding* change person same background
ok I know this is getting boring

Sorry but same background again

We KS one so here you go our own da-pao-from-home lunch

We even thick skin face and sat here some restaurant to take our lunch!
Under this umbrella and someone changed in front of us!
Total naked! OMG

See this pic seems nicer haha cause I took one mar =p

The restaurant which we WENT but didn't eat their food haha

Me with the float we used throughout and the slides we sat for four times hah

This is Charmaine with the float I love (the colour nice)

The slides and floats again

Whanau Way!!!

The black and white whales

See????
The very renowned whale-transparent-tube-slide of Aquatica, I was so excited for this before I went where you take the slide and pass through a transparent tube and can see whales swimming...
BUT the adcertisement for this was great but when we went and tried....
nah lousy, and old and you pass through the transparent part not even 5 seconds.
I went to play thrice and didn't even see a whale...Charmaine saw though maybe I wasn't wearing glasses and the water kept splashing on my eyes I couldn't open my eyes everytime when I pass through the transparent tube until the last time I sat the slide I opened and can see all around..was quite creative though

Charmaine (the angel) and the whale slide behind her
Angelll hahaa cause the sun light shins on her head
Sun was high up the sky wher

Me with the slide

Nah...better to watch the whales in the underview tube...couldn't see them during the slide

Us with the whales behind

And yup we took more than twice for each rides and managed to get back home at three pm and we prepared ourselves for the Christmas party at Mariott at night!

Weeee next coming up, Christmas party!

The unique one <3

I really had a very great year with this girlfriend of mine =) From the beginning of year, we both sat lai together in the first lab session of Stats class to doing quizzes and reports (chem report kena sat lai in Emily's room again) to all the stupid stuffs we did and filled with laughters to her coming to overnight with me in hostel, squeezing together in the small tiny weeny single bed to exam, motivating each other to ice skating to going genting (paddling boat) to shogun (eating competitio) and to .................. can't finish writing, if I am to finish writing I will sure miss my work today (have to go work in like 30mins time).
Anyway, thanks for everything...the fun we had together, the bitter we suffered together (don't remember got apa bitter pun haha) you're always there when I needed you (when I woke up late for the first time and missed my tutorial in Feb! haha). THANKS =)

Hope you have a very great and best birthday ever! (think sure best birthday lar I'm not there to disturb you mar) May all your dreams and wishes come true and your life is always filled with smiles and laughters =)

Island of Adventure (Shane, charmaine and Darrell) 5th Dec 08

2008-12-07T23:38:00.030-05:00

Super outdated post with lots of nice nice pictures I took during that outing with Charmaine and Darrell... We had the same day off, so as usual, must hang out together la.. hahaha!!
Charmaine came over to meet us at our house in the morning (just in case you do not know, Darrel is my housemate)..
My first picture on that day..

The trio walking to the trolley station... playing shadow-molesting game.. hahaha..

Took this picture when we were waiting at the trolley station...

My assistant photographer.. hahaha..
I took this picture to show that we were waiting at stop 40 together with Charmaine and Darrell..

This was Charmaine's 'masterpiece' after umpteen trials.. squatting here and there, adjusted her position for lots of times.. hahaha... finally I let her pass the test.. hahaha.

Charmaine...

On the trolley:

Hahaha.. I chose this picture instead of putting her round face picture..

We took a different way to go Universal in which we did not need to cross the super long and busy bridge... and we got to see very serene and picturesque scenery..

Buildings around the trolley station...

Had to walk all the way down this small road lined with all the beautiful coconut-like trees at both sides...

This was the super beautiful scenery I meant just now...

OMG I love the orange colour trees!!!!!!!

I like the leafless trees!!! hahhaa... I wish to go back to Malaysia and pluck off all the leafs of the trees... photosynthesis is disturbed ---> more CO2 is in the air ------> GLOBAL WARMING ----> DOOMSDAY!! hahaha... sorry i am a science maniac..

At the entrance of Universal studio

Largest Hardrock cafe in the world..

YOHOOO!! ISLAND OF ADVENTURE!!

At the Guest Service to get our FREEEEEEEE ticket.. haha

Obviously this is not the guest service.. hahha.. a building near guest service..

OMG, i love the buildings inside!! Really felt like entering a different world...

Had our lunch at a circus restaurant.. hahaha.. fake circus.... the interior design is very unique..

Hide Charmaine's camera after lunch as she left it on the table.. hahaha....

Foodsteps on the floor...

Sigh I havnt tried 'the hulk' (the roller coaster) as we managed to cover half of the whole park only because we reached there quite late d.... will try it when i go nx time...

Modelling.... hahhaa
Must appreciate this picture.. Charmaine was trying so hard to sit on that little wall... let her experience the hardness of being a model.. hahaha

I like this picture very much.. the combination of the awesome building with the beautiful sky... OMG

TY's first off day =D 261108

2008-12-02T01:27:00.013-05:00

Had my first off day on last Wednesday 261108. Yup I know I took a long time in updating this but haha anyway at least I did update it now =).
We wanted to go Ripley's Believe It Or Not but ended up in a China Buffet and Prime Outlet. We went there with very hungry stomach and was searching for food and found this buffet in a Chinese restaurant not too bad and not too expensive (but ended up with tax and tips it was $9 per person!), we enjoyed and had a great lunch and off we went to Ripley's. Reached there excited to enter and the worker told us we could not enter without dunno what green form from SeaWorld, unless we pay...obviously we didn't want to pay and off we went to Prime Outlet by iTrolley (public bus). Unless you guys don't know, as Seaworld's employee we get to enter lots of places free of charge like Universal Studio, Ripley's, Busch Garden, Antartica....and more and more and moree... YAY FREEE!!! Haha eyy all these places' entry tickets are very expensive!!
Anyway, Charmaine and I went together with a few more people but both of us ended up in Prime Outlet till late at night cause we told them to go back first since we were not done with our shopping yet (FOR THE CHRISTMAS PARTY LATER!)
And I bought my dress for the party =D =D =D and it's CHEAP!!! Really cheap!!! Haha you won't get such a dress with such a price in Malaysia!!!

Anyway here are some pictures I have from Charmaine's camera, there are more in other's camera, will update and add them in when I get those pictures =)

(All same background with only two different person haha so sad cause both of us left only can't take a picture of the both of us=p)

This pair of shoes only $9.99, we wanted to buy but after consideration we ended up didn't buy it haha cause still got time to choose =D

2008-12-01T09:00:00.000-05:00

This is the Hospitality building.. Located in the Super duper inner part of seaworld.... Where i thought no one would go there.. but there like tons of people visit this place.. make me work like mad....

The side view.. there is a river or lake or some ponds in front of the building...

Here is where i work... the Hospitality Deli... Damn a lot of people everyday.. and the place i am going later in an hour later.... It was closing time when the photo was taken.. was cleaning up... so there was no guest around..

okay.. thats me... refilling straws, knife, fork and spoon....

ANd yeah... Seaworld is an environmental friendly park.. they only keep waterways and beaches clean... (They only conserve and protect the sea... but they are still killing the forest...) They use paper like it is unlimited... And according to Miss Tan, She said.. they are torturing those sea animals... by keeping them in the park and calling them to perform...

Tee Yee and Shane always can clock out early.. while i am always the late one.. T.T

here is the park map....

and see where i work.. i need to walk like super damn far to get to there..

Special dinner at home (11302008)

2008-12-01T01:55:00.004-05:00

Finally it is raining over here... There had been no clouds for the past weeks and until these few days, clouds finally appeared, making me to cancel the stupid thoughts that Orlando has no clouds...silly right?

It was raining... So Allison took Tee Yee home while I waited for Lee Ming coz he was still not done with his job and his very unfriendly lead didn't really let him to follow us back with Allison.. I chatted with an American Chinese from California and i was surprised to find that she was a mix of Philippines and Malaysia.. haha..

She asked me about Christmas celebration back in Malaysia.. Obviously she thought we Malaysia don't celebrate Christmas coz she asked 'do you see Santa Clause in Malaysia?'.. what a good question.. hahahaha.. Very nice to talk to her.. and she said my english is good.. haha... I guess she must have made some mistakes..

Lee Ming clocked out at around 830pm and both of us ended up walking in the rain to the nearest bus station which we just discovered the day before.

Didn't go to Tee Yee's unit to have dinner together (lazy!!).. So we had our simple dinner at our home..
These were all bought for breakfast but we treated that as dinner as well...

Closer look...

Marshmellows with chocolate..

Guess what is this??

EGG with CHOCOLATE!!!

Lee Ming was quite pissed off when I cooked it.. Fine. I am used to trying new recipe when preparing my own food. My home has no any pepper or salt or kicap that I could add into my egg.. So the only thing I could add was my favourite chocolate...

There was no taste of chocolate in that egg... (Lee Ming was very relieved as it had only egg taste).. haha... perhaps I should add more chocolate next time...

OR you go and try it out and tell me if it is nice.. hahaha

What am I doing in SeaWorld?? by Shane

2008-12-01T00:22:00.010-05:00

I have been working in SeaWorld shamu stadium for already one full week and I can only use one word to describe the routine I have: MUNDANE!!Shamu Stadium

Night view (6pm)Tee Yee was standing there Actually it is not that tiring about my work just that I am tired to walking to work everyday.. We have to walk from our apartment house to the bus station (I-ride trolley station) for around ten minutes.. Once we reach SeaWorld, have to walk for around 3 to 4 minutes to reach the 'chicken check' security center. After that, we have to walk for around 5 to 10 minutes before reaching shamu stadium (my working place). So we have to go out one hour before our working time which deprive lots of my sleeping time!! Unlike in Sunway, I can sleep until 20 minutes before lecture starts.. Then rush to Uni in less than 5 minutes.. sigh.. Why are we paying so much money to get tortured here ??

Back to the main topic... Once reach the vending room/popcorn kitchen, my co-workers and I have to start doing and packing salty popcorn (which I don't really like.. thats why i curi makan them so little unlike my friends here,, haha)...
Supervisor officeVending room
Seeds Actually I work as a vendor in the shamu stadium...
So my work will really start half an hour before the shamu show starts.. We have to get ready our vending stuffs like popcorn/candy/beer/soda/water (depends on which one you are assigned to).. For drinks like beer or soda or water, we have to put them into ice even though they are already cold..

Before going vending, the lead will give you 75USD comprising of different notes and coins.. then you can go sell your stuff in the shamu stadium where people start streaming into it... and people here are VERY generous.. Unlike our Malaysia KS (kiamsiap) culture, people here give tips and we suppose to say 'no' (not in block capital, haha)when they give you... only accept it when they insist to give you.. Still remember there was one very funny old man. I was vending popcorn at that time, each cost 3.25USD... He gave me 4USD.. I had to give back 0.75USD.. Then he asked me to keep it.. so as a 'good' worker, I told him I am not allowed to do that.. Guess what he said? 'I should go and sue your boss!'.. haha.. yea he was funny..

The things we sell here are exorbitant..
1. One popcorn: 3.25USD
2. Candy/water: 3USD
3. Beer (Budlight/Budweiser/Lime): 5.50USD
4: Others (like pretzel or ice-cream): Forget. hahahaha

Also, as an incentive for us, the vendors to do our job, we will get 3cent commision for each item we sell.. Don't look down at his minute amount of money,, I can earn around 4USD per day... Not to say the tips I will get sometime.. And FYI,, although I am new here,, the other Australian lead, Will said I am one of the top among them:P

There are three shamu shows each weekday:1130am, 130pm, 300pm and 530pm. There is one more at 730pm during this weekend.

Actually my work is a fairly easy.. just have to do popcorn and go for vending during shamu show.. Once all the popcorn are done, you will be free like bird.. Sometimes (like today), I went to the shamu stadium to watch the show for half n hour, did nothing for two hours,, just wandered aimlessly around the shadium.. chatted with my co-workers and went watch live singing by four old men.. haha...

Our lead, Allison (18 year-old)Haha.. Super cute
Another lead, Antia from Micronesia.
Tee Yee and Allison.. Allison loves foreign languages. She knows to write her name in Chinese, Thai and ENGLISH!! haha swt... And she asked me to give her a copy of the chinese songs in my lappie.. hahaha... damn funny.. and being a lead, she took out her MP4 and let me listen to her favourite chinese song (sa po lang by JS.. dunou what song also,, but i heard that song before)..and She knows Jay Chou!My colleague, Eddie, 19 year-old..

Most of my colleagues here are only 17 but they look older than their age..

Today.24 Nov 2008

2008-11-24T20:20:00.002-05:00

This is my third working day and I just got back home like an hour ago and had my shower. My housemates cooking dinner for us tonight =) --> Spaghetti.
Things don't go smoothly all the time and nahh I was the cashier today with no single experience and no single practice! I was doing my work so slowly and so clumsily. Migosh...when the queue was long, I wanted to be fast but then migosh I just couldn't....I was unfamiliar with all their coins, unfamiliar with which things with which buttons to press gosh..it's just everything so new for me. Anyway, I have to learn don't I? One of my colleagues who used to be the cashier there actually asked me to call the supervisor to close my err like things I've sold so she could continue for the rest of the day. When the supervisor, Karen actually came down well of course she said I have to learn, time for me to learn..ya I think so too. Well, I kept making mistakes....a lot seriously. I kept making errors, I just don't know why...refilling, I pressed regular soda then stuffs like small I pressed regular... ARGH!!! I ended up having 9 voids!! YES NINE! That's quite a lot to me. And Gerry actually offered to ask Allissa to close my counter since the business is slow today. And ya I stopped my very-messed-up cashier work at three thirty. When Allissa was counting the money I was so afraid that the money shorts....cause at the beginning of the day I actually thought the 1 dime is 5 cents and yes I seriously gave more return to customers. Fortunately, it ended up that the amount of money was over by $1.96.
Continued with other jobs like the first two days and ended work early today at 517pm. Weee finally I get to watch the start of the shamu show, I always watch from the mid of the show... nahh I was so frustrated with all the mistakes I made and luckily I went to watch shamu before coming back home. Well that put a smile on my face =)...
Had my lunch earlier today and this time without seeing them two..duhh I couldn't finish my food this time, half was thrown away though it was just tuna tortilla...maybe cause I was eating alone I guess..
Finish watching shamu show, I started walking to the exit and well I kept walking walking walking walking walking like never ending my way back to the exit...and and I lost my way to the exit! Ya I have no sense of direction and I lost my way. For my past two days I walked with both of them and this time my way out was like never ending without their voices, noises, sighs, laughters and all.......nah I missed both of them...
While I was having all these, they were having fun in Universal Studio!
Alright I shall go prepare to take my dinner err it's 836pm now ya every night super late dinner here haha yesterday even worse around near 11pm out dinner. Haha anyway yesterday we all cooked together cooked rice, soup, prawns and eggs. We ate like a family...super nice and super fun!!!! (Though we had to squeeze two person on a chair? Haha but that was very nice!) We took lots of super crazy pics yesterday while cooking so I shall put some up here later after my dinner?
:i miss both of them today: (especially when I was walking alone to the exit =p) AND LOST MY WAY...

The working day

2008-11-22T22:12:00.003-05:00

Nahh we all started working with Lee Ming started off first yesterday. He is working in the restaurant which is a very nice place known as Hospitality Deli. He looked very exhausted on the first day when he was back and that scared us...he even slept without taking his bath till the next morning which is today. He went work the earliest again this morning while Shane and I joined others to have the breakfast prepared by the people in the Clubhouse. The breakfast was very great with tthe waffle and those delectable tarts and juices. Gosh we took the waffle with fresh strawberried and blueberries which you can't find it back in Malaysia. We even added butter, chocolate chips, whip cream and maple syrup to our crispy outside and soft inside waffle. We then went to play Nintendo Wii in the Clubhouse, the Rockband weeeee I super love this game haha =p can play guitar and drum. Haven't got a chance to bring Lee Ming to try the game. Never mind, there will sure be a chance =D.

My waffle (shared)

Shane and I have the same schedule for these two days and we went to work together around 1115am. Duh we have to walk very far everyday to take the public bus called Trolley and took it to SeaWorld! We reached there like 1145 I guess, SeaWorld, so unfamiliar, we were looking around to the place we were supposed to check in, the Shamu Stadium. Well, I clocked in with the in park phone at 1204am and a girl led both of us to our work. Shane worked as making popcorns and selling stuffs like candies and stuffs during shamu show. He has commision for the things he sold!!! He has $1.25 today! I was in this place known as Coconut Cove, selling sodas, chips, ice-creams and cotton candies ONLY. Ya only. Since it's winter now not that much people buying from my stall. Nevertheless, there were lots of people buying sodas too. Oh ya, we sell very nice shamu water bottles too! Haha I think I'm going to get one when I'm going back. Nah did nothing much at the stall except learning to take and prepare sodas and err some cleaning and closing stall stuffs. Will bored you people if I mention everything here. Anyway, I would want to say some people I met during work, there are quiet ones, very fierce and scary ones too, quite nice ones, cheerful ones, moderate ones and all kinds of people. Ya, this is reality, you just have to bare and tolerate with everything. And there are lots of types of customers too haha I have to say. All the things mentioned in the training did occur to me. Though it's quite boring at work I have to say when there is no customer, I'm happy when I see all the people around have smiles and laughters together with families and friends. This is a thing that make me smile =) And oh ya another thing putting a smile on my face is also the Christmas songs and musics played. =D I worked from 12noon to 545pm (supposed to be 630pm but no more work) and I went to watch the Christmas Magical Shamu Show again after clocking out =D That made me lived in a miracle for few minutes again with the great show...nahh how many people get the chance to watch a great Christmas Shamu Show after work everyday?! That seriously put a smile on my face =) After show, I waited for Shane to clean the floor and clock out and we went all the way to look for Lee Ming in the Deli. As I said the restaurant he's working in has very nice environment, though he's very busy and work is tiring for him. We waited for him inside there and we took long walk and Trolley back to our very-expensive apartment.
The day hasn't end without our dinner. Came back home, I decided to try cooking rice without rice cooker again. And this time I succeeded!!! =D I cooked rice for them and fried a plate of vegetable containing cabbage, carrot and hams. We fried eggs too. Took dinner with everyone in fatigue condition. Nahh that didn't end yet. Had to wash all the plates and cutleries used, not with dishwasher but with hands as my housemates didn't want us to use the dishwasher.
Now, I seriously understand it is not an easy thing to be a housewife who works at the same time. IT IS SERIOUSLY NOT EASY! I worked, I cooked, I washed.
Anyway, thinking of the shamus and dolphins does put a smile on my face washing away all my fatigue.

Well, LLM seems very tired everyday. His work is the most tiring among us I guess.
--> Don't give up =) We must learn, experience, practise and TRY TO enjoy our work.
We must work hard and DisneyWorld still waiting for us k =D

I saw two super cute Huskies owned by a lady who walked his dogs this morning, wanted to call LLM but then I thoguht he went to work. Haha ok and ya I played pool and wii in Clubhouse super fun!!!! =D

I guess I shall sleep now. Living a healthy lifestyle here (I try to =p).

This is my first lunch in SeaWorld employee cafetaria~

The tortilla sandwich with roast beef

The mashed potato

Well I couldn't finish my lunch that day seriously very full Haha I didn't finish the mashed potato

That will be my lunches during my work days for three months with some other variety.

I took steak and mashed potato today, I managed to finish all today =D

Good night peeps =)

Training

2008-11-20T22:27:00.004-05:00

These two days, we had been having our training, the three of us will be working in the culinary department where we will be facing food everyday haha...I may be the one selling food (I was only told to be working in the food department in shamu stadium) but I don't know what will I be doing yet. Shane will be working nearby my place but he will be in charge of doing pop-corns. Lee Ming will be working the Deli in the place called Hospitality, think should be the cafetaria for employees of Seaworld to have their meals... I love his working place a lot... nearby got horses, grass so picturesque the scenery!!!!
We had introduction of the Seaworld yesterday and had some basic rules of things we should know as the employees here. Today, we were put into the culinary training. Well, was real boring, worse than lectures!!! Got 40 MCQ some more!!! Haha but our trainer, Bonnie Anderson was so nice to let us discuss the answers for the test and I have to say that Seaworld is seriously very strict on alcohol and safety! We were taught the right way of selling alcohol to customers. For your information (for those who doesn't know), USA is very strict with the rule on only those above 21 can take alcohol. Ya, everyone will think USA is a very open country, well they're very strict with this alcohol thing. And only aged 18 and above can be in charge in selling alcohol. Selling alcohol is not easy!!! You have to take great responsibility when anything happens and you're not supposed to sell to those under 21 or sell to those toxicated (drunk) people. If anything happens to them, you say goodbye with your liable and your restaurant you're working in will have the license taken away too. Ya, they are this strict. And very strict in safety too.
Nahh super boring talking on trainings...
We decided to take a walk around the park since we haven't really been walking the whole place, cause it is really HUGE!!! And it's near Christmas season now, the whole Seaworld has been decorated with very pretty decorations and there is this very tall and nice Christmas tree inside there. I love the tree a lot!!! We saw seals, sea lions, otters, penguins, sharks, fishes, puffins, and few more animals today. WOWW THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE!!!! I just love them all. Looking them I have no stress no strain, nothing to worry!!! I just love them. Seeing them and their cute actions, you will see sincere smiles on our faces =).
I seriously think I'm living in a dream land looking at those animals, with the awesome scenery, fresh air, the super nice music with christmas tunes, the colourful christmas-like lightings, you even see elves (mascots) around...and oh ya live band playing christmas music too....wowww okay you all will not imagine that...I just simply love this environment very very much =D I have no worries living in this environment...walking make me smile too and I sleep with a smile on my face =). SEAWORLD IS JUST AMAZING! A DREAMWORLD!!!

Anyway, we came back home cooked our dinner together with my housemates. We should be frying our rice but then the rice turned out to be too sticky haha cause no rice cooker here and we used pot to cook our rice. Haha well we just simply cooked and fried eggs to eat =p

--> When situation goes wrong, you can only MAKE THE BEST OUT OF THE WORST =)

Lee Ming will start work later (21 Nov 2008, 10am)
--> Good luck and all the best =). Don't worry lar you're gonna work in my dreamland! Just do your best =D

Shane and I will be starting our work tomorrow at twelve noon.
--> All the best to both of us too =)
