Chinese New Year 2011


CM's wedding reception


"Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib bin Mahmud (born 21 May 1936 in Miri, Sarawak) is the fourth and current Chief Minister of Sarawak. He is also the state Financial Minister and Planning and Resource Management Minister. Taib is the President of Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), which is part of the Barisan Nasional coalition. He is of ethnic Melanau descent."

There were so many VIPS, they had to name the more important people VVIP.
I swear that the plates were made of gold and lead. My arms can testify to that.

Gathered at BCCK. Most waiters/waitresses were either going for practical or they are full time waiters/waitresses. Aznieda, Hazwan and me were probably the only fresh school leavers. (Thanks to Aznieda for referring us to the waitering gig!).

Did I leave the stove on back home?
Oh right, I have no stove at home! I use laser vision to cook my food.
You think that's unfair?
Teehee, I don't care.
If the universe is ever expanding, there must be an unlimited source of cake somewhere.
Must find cake.
Inside the new DUN.
The event planner said this whole set up costed half a million MYR. Taxpayer's money well spent.
The seat of which the groom will be sitting on latter.
Break time. Smoke flavoured air fresheners were widely used.
I swear that this is the first time I took a picture of myself in the mirror. NO lie.
Prepping up.
I can see the light now.
Just your average wedding reception.
You're welcome.
Standing up  for 5 hours straight and I'm still GOOD!
Live broadcast, within the same hall it was happening in. That's how rich people roll.
The newlywed shook hands with 600+ people. One by one.
Cleaning up and packing up.
Debriefing. 

Present at workplace from 10 am till 12 am. Work hours included meal time. Total pay : RM58. Hard earned money.

Once upon a time ago

Before my printing job, Hazwan and I went around looking for jobs. We applied at many many places ; Sushi King, Pizza Hut, Grand Super Mart , Ipoh Town, Speedy's and McDonald's.

This was the McDonald's application form. To be honest, we didn't really want to work at McDonald's but we decided to polish our form-filling skills.

Sports or Activities.


At Speedy's, the person in charge was a Chinese lady. When you see two guys that have squinty eyes and see that their names start with "Mohd" , you're going to say "Ooo" or "Eh". I honestly believed that I was going to get hired, largely due to Hazwan. He spoke mandarin with the lady quite well while I only got some parts of it and did the 'Smile n Nod'. None of the places we applied at called back. It's okay. I know voodoo.
