Scary Cai Fan

to all those friends who've smsed or left me tags to congratulate me and gave me well-wishes on my new found job, a big THANK YOU to you! Thanx for giving me encouragements when i was jobless, telling me not to give up and so on. u know who u are, dawn, gi, flo, pj, sue, cy, py, wywy, lili, des etc etc etc...

pretty excited abt it. but my current concern is not really mainly on the kind of tasks i'm given, it strangely about lunch there! ok, this is gluttony me i'm talking about.... seriously, during my internship there, i was so freaking sick of the food bought from the neighbouring '____' (erm, can't find a suitable description for this brand, maybe 'traditional' fits the bill.....anyway, i never really quite like this brand's biscuit....) biscuit factory.

at some point in time, i kinda had a phobia for the cai4 fan4 from the canteen there. u see, my company dun have a cafeteria selling food, so there's this collaboration with the cai fan stall in the neighbour factory to cater cai fan to employees who order them. those ppl (mostly lao jiao and those 'hip, acrobatic & cartwheel-turning' interns from another local university) who drives or dun mind taking the time to go to the nearby shopping centre will give the cai fan a miss and go for better food (& lotsa variety) there......

me and my fellow interns from the same uni are those 'can't be bothered type' and dun wanna waste time rushing to the mall and back, and having to gobble down our lunch within that measly 45 minutes lunch break..... so we have the cheap $2 cai fan most of the time..... and yes, they have nothing but cai fan, and occasionally nasi lemak (rick cooked with coconut milk). then most of the time the rice comes with chicken wing (sian....), fish cake (i hate to eat fish cake with rice) and bean curd (i mean tau kua, not those soft and wobbly egg tofu, anyway, i hate tau kua and sometimes tofu too! given a choice, i won't have them both in my meals). oh yah, i forgot to add this, we can't choose what dishes we want, so its basically a 'if-u're-lucky-u-get-what-u-like' situation....

i dun want my lunch like that again lah.... hope after 2 yrs the company has changed some meal systems liao..... (ya know what, my ex-boss told me before that the company used to cater those buffet kinda lunch for its employees, then that got abolished cos there was always alot of leftover since most staff are in sales and have to be out often thus irregular and unpredictable demand.....damn!). now i'm hoping that i can find nice colleagues to go out for lunch, if my boss dun have to be out, i guess she wouldn't mind bringing her subordinates out for lunch bah..... i'm quite bent on not eating cai fan almost everyday again...... that's a resolution for now....

_______________________________________________

anyway, last sat i finally fulfilled my 'want' to be a tennis babe. haha.... yah, u know, babe as in the pig in the movie 'Babe'?

went to pj uncle's place for the game. interestingly, the spot was juz a few metres away from the place i first played tennis in junior college years ago.... my verdict? i like it! found myself sprinting alot trying to hit the balls that are flying about in the court. thank goodness there are fences around the court, otherwise i would have broken many windows of her uncle's poor neighbours... fun fun, i like, esp with patient ppl like pj and roy to teach me how to hit the balls correctly.... will sure go for another game soon.... but right now, my arm and my butt muscles are aching bad.... bad...

after the game, my father came to fetch me home after picking my mum from work.... on our way back, he asked if we wanna go see wild monkeys and since we've got time, why not? so he turned into the road that leads to pierce reservior... and yep, we saw monkeys and ppl feeding them with oranges and all kinds of junk.... i din dare to roll down the window fully as i've heard of scary stories of how monkeys will jump/attack you thinking u have food with u..... aiyah, i was so hungry then if i had food i'll eat it myself lah....

Gera!
