Start of Winter Holidays~

So all the malls are crazy at this time of year. So is traffic. The government decides to choose this particular time to start fixing roads. Always, always such good timing.



I can carve! Carve what? Carve an S in the snow! With what? A snowboard! zOMG!

So we went boarding at Cypress umm, sometime last week (Thurs, i think it was) and I insisted I'd practise the first half of the day by myself, so I wouldn't have any annoying bums rushing me to get down the friggin mountain. Then at food time, we sat around the lodge full of BIRDS! They got up really close, flew everywhere and ate bits and pieces of peoples' food haha! We were afraid they'd poop on us from above though.. D: After that, I finally decided to follow them up the other trails where we had to hike a bit (ugh, hiking in boots makes you feel so disabled and slow). Then we had to go down a black diamond trail to get to another lift that brought us to another location and it was tiring! We left when the rain started pooring down, making everything even more slushy, wet and icy. Man, having to board over brown ice was kinda gross. D:



@ Roots: It's still difficult to have a good conversation with these guys. Not to mention, one co-worker gives me funny stares and another just annoys me as hell. Oh, our store's so depressing: it's not especially busy, even with Christmas approaching. Once again, I met another of those regular customers labeled as annoying. This time, there were two loud, obnoxious Cantonese-speaking chinese old ladies who came in touching practically EVERYTHING and moving them EVERYWHERE. We literally had to clean up after them, as soon as they moved from one spot to another. They were known to make big messes, end up not buying anything after and refunding their purchases frequently. That time, they only bought something cuz they wanted to use a coupon which they did not have. And so they left, not buying it. Meh, some people.



@ Dental: It's becoming more and more difficult. She (the assistant) is expecting too much from me within so little time. I understand the other helper's leaving next month but seriously, she doesn't understand that showing me doesn't help me unless I can actually practice it hands-on. Which is why I've been constantly screwing up... since all she does is SHOW me and TELL me things ONCE and expect me to have it ALL MEMORIZED. She, for some reason, also expects me to do/not do things I was not taught/told to do??? (e.g. wipe a particular piece of equipment after this and that, etcetc) Not to mention, she apparently wants me to become what she is when she has had months/years to practice/learn this, while I had no more than a week in total. They also want to add on hours next month but really, they haven't even paid me yet and I've been working for 3 weeks? Actually, they haven't even asked me for my info to give me my money!! I've already ranted about this to my parents and they haven't really helped much though... So why aren't I quitting???? This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance and there's probably just something wrong with me too. Cuz seriously, I'm getting stressed out from this frustrating job. Oh, it was my first time doing some slobber sucking and I did a crap job. Ughhh I felt so bad for the dentist to have to deal with a newbie retard like me, and I didn't have the chance (or actually, the nerve) to formally apologize (because I really wanna D:) to him about it. I accidentally talked back to him too, ahhh I didn't catch myself saying it until it was too late and ah shit, I felt so bad and stupid and pathetic. And during my slobber sucking experience, it was my first time seeing so much tartar build-up on this mainland china FOB lady who hasn't ever visited a dentist before (that's understandable though) and suddenly whoa, it was gross. I'd be seeing more of it yes. Her cleaning was so bloody, so was her daughter's. I could imagine it was pretty darn painful for them too... Okay so cleaning gross mouthes aren't as bad as pulling out teeth though. A few times I had to watch them pull out teeth (not in direct view, I couldn't BARE a direct view), but I watched from the doorway and.. DDDDDDD: It looks SO PAINFUL, especially with those TOOLS THE DENTIST GUY USES. THEY'RE BIG AND BIG!... BIG! THICK METAL. PLIER-LIKE and SCREWDRIVER-LIKE! Wow, I was scared. And still am scared. And to think, I'll have to watch and assist with this stuff in the.. (possibly) near future. I might get paid monthly. To think, when my Roots job is over, I'd only get one paycheck PER MONTH?? I'd die. I seriously need to build up some courage to talk to them about it (my moneyyyyyyy~)... I actually don't even know my payrate. If I find out it's crap, I'm SO ditching. no 8's, no 9's. This job is no way worth 8's and 9's. I told my parents that and they were like "Pfft, then you'd have no job." then ya, that's so true.... but stressing out over what it's not worth is kinda dumb too. Kinda like Daiso and its $8. Ugh. I honestly waited too long to change jobs when I was Daiso.



Whoa big rant. I feel better though.

So much complaining. But it's a nice way to relieve stress. :]]

Now, I've finally made up my mind and quit ffxi completely! Even though I haven't played for, oh, 4-5 months? :P Now, let the deactivation commence! I'm depressed about the fact that I can't say my goodbyes and sell all my stuff and give it to my bro though.



Oh well, now I gotta balance my work, sleep, computer time and game time somehow. I'm lacking game time big time! I can't find the time to start my Star Ocean 3. I was going to today but ughhh got sidetracked as usual. I also need to make hdd space for UT2k4.



Christmas draws nearrrr... Winter has finally started! Come snow, COME!
