人间有情。。

打工那几天,
看到蛮多的
特别是从阿雯妈妈的确看见很多,
有时自愧觉得自己这基督徒都不如一位非信徒,

那里经过我们档子的人来来往往,也有许许多多的外劳

本地客人的声音order时总是大声些,
不客气的眼神,

但,
当然也有很有礼貌的人
反而多数的小朋友(特别是malay的)比起大人更会说起谢谢来,

不一样的客人有不一样的要求,
有的order waffle要涂多多,有的要涂少一些,

当中觉得一些印度人会较挑剔较凶些,
每每涂酱to waffle时,还没涂完,他们会要求涂多多的

而也有少数的外劳客人,
他们多数来买冰淇淋,
从他们的眼中,可以看那看到他们的不安,
有些恐惧的眼神,目光幽忧看着我们,
毕竟离乡背井来到我们的国土,
同我们站在同块地却以不一样的身段,
须处处放下自己,说话也颇为小声,
甚至以客人的身份来光顾时也显得十分惊心,

做生意的人,
总会从中取得最高的利益,
以能省则省的手段,以最少的成本获得最高的利益,

但雯雯妈妈却很不一般地,
如:每每搽waffle酱时都会搽到它的空洞都看不见,
bubble tea powder 2 小匙变 2 大大汤匙,
sweet corn 也溢满出来,drink又少放冰。。。
ice-cream加free的chocolate syrup, rice or peanut(她说本来是要加钱的)
她每次笑笑说放多一点不要紧,反正是老板的,不管它
如果老板知道的话就惨了。。

雯雯妈妈看到外劳时,
会告诉我说他们如何如何的可怜
他们来光顾时,会说:“要给他们大大一点哦!"
她总会把冰球滚得很大很大粒,
好像一个scope变成很多个scope一样,
接着,我也学她一样,
然后再附加一个谢谢+友善的笑容。。 ^^

所以咯,他们很喜欢来我们的摊子买ice-cream。。

还有几次,没什么顾客时,或快关摊子时,
雯雯妈妈特地叫我做waffle给正在扫地的Pakis工人
她说他每次都帮她扫地,以前他比较胖些,现在较瘦了,
另一个就瘦巴巴的,
我就涂很多很多的酱,以致看不到任何洞,把waffle拿去递给他,
他伸手接着waffle后,就拿到一边的角落吃,

然后也有注意到,他们特别会帮忙我们打扫我们摊子的周围
好像你敬我,我也敬你几分,
大家此时以彼此尊敬,和睦工作。。。

在阿雯妈妈身上看到
她有颗很有怜悯的心,
她也非常的勤力,开摊到收摊,她似乎分秒不曾停过手

身为基督徒的我们,到底有多少个,
可以有这样怜悯的心对待我们周围的人呢?
还是像一般商人一样,
想尽办法,要从他人身上收取利益,凡是斤斤计较呢?

求神怜悯我们。。

my waffle days.. ^^

During my raya holiday..

actually i reached campus by last thurs 1 after going to Ipoh, Taiping then Setiawan..
but immediately after i reached my room a while, i received my fren's msg asking me whether i wan 2 hav the part time job selling waffles at econsave at kamunting there..

i hesistated since i just reach my room at that moment..
then since my laptop still in "operation room"
then i decided 2 earn little pocket money
to cover back my expenses during the trips...

RM 50 per day from 10am till 11pm.. still ok ba..

Then started my 3 days of waffle days..
selling sweet fresh corns, ice-cream, drinks, bubble teas, and of course waffles...^^


The bus schedule fr PB to kamunting or taiping..

early in the morning as early as 6.45am something on friday morning at bus stn.. zzz

going and back by old old onimbus.. RM5.20 per trip.. air conditioned RM5.60

my 3 days working waffle stall inside econsave kamunting...


wen wen so hospitalized mom.. treating me meals... and she's really hardworking and geng as well, able 2 work like machine non-stoply...
Expressing my deepest gratitude to wen wen and her parents as well here.. THX SO SO MC^.^
she just keep moving on and on without stoping even for a second till the stall been closed down by 11pm... so geng.. pei fu pei fu..

the bubble tea ingredients, ice-cream, drinks...

excited doing my customer's waffle with their flavours.. the most popular's peanut butter + choc0 ... the flavours available.. pineapple, choco, peanut butter, butter, strawberry, kaya, blueberry, and honey..
i like blueberry + choco and oso the famous 1... kaya+peanut oso nt bad :)
after finished applying then cut and packaging into plastic..

the waffle machine... 3.3 minutes per waffle..b4 ta pouring the mixture..
must mix with the ready mixed flour with 10 eggs, 1.8 litre water and 180ml oil per package of flour...

making my own mocha bubble tea...mixed specially with goat milk...yummy.. enjoy it..

The stall opposite of us.. papparoti
what i found the price's list is funny like the mutiple of maths during our primary sc.. hehe..

The big big watch of the watch stall beside us... :P

well, i enjoyed the days though it's really tiring cox can't even stop for a second..
like playing the Diner Dash in real...
really need to speed up when tackling a big volume of customers sometime even taking order of 10 pieces in 1 time...

sometime, rushing kelam kabutly here and there when all the orders of corns, ice-cream, drinks, collecting $$ come by once
The RM150 is hard 2 be earned as well..
it's really hard "sweated" money...

They joked that now i become expect in making waffles now and can open my own stall one day..
i just smile...

i enjoyed having all the sweet food by making my own 1
ice-cream waffles, mixing differ flavour of waffle, making my own honey-dew and mocha bubble tea and sweet corns

indeed, labour type of work and mentally consuming type both having pros and cons...
either physically or mentally tiring..

which 1 do u prefer ?

simply smile.... ^^


This few weeks... been spent lots of time travelling using LRT, monorail and bus...then spent most of the time waiting...

sometimes
reading a book, a newspaper, sometimes just stood there doing nothing, observing ppl around, sometime smiling also ...

and yesterday going to Puchong to a church event and also meeting a very old fren..
while waiting...trying not to be dulled...so upon waiting for a bus to lrt stn, an Indian lady also came across and waiting for a bus next to me....
so, i tried to smile friendly and sincerely upon her...

surprisingly, we started to chat...
you all not going to believe that she's the second Indian i ever told to indeed...
we talked about the bus's regulate routes, punctuality...
and sometime i just couldn't get what she said
and i just managed to nodd my head and to smile...
but still, feeling warm at that moment....

when i reached the lrt stn, again taking another bus from the last lrt stn to Puchong...
sitting there holding a book while waiting...
again, i also tried to smile upon a Malay mother with her baby in her arm and the old granny sitting next to me..

the young Malay mom also smiled upon me 2....
and her little naughty cute baby boy tried to cry by fake and turn into her mom's elbow when i looked into him...
still, i just can smile weirdly this moment...
and, also trying to play with him by looking back "naughtily" at him many times...
haha... no matter what the skin's colour, we can be close for those moments indeed...
just through a sincere and friendly smile...

So, frens... smile always... simply smile more to the ppl next to u...sometimes, ur friendly smile will just lift up ur dull heart or others...
^.^

New cultural in malaysia...(squeezed all u can...)


Malaysia is having its new cultural recently....
Recently, kinda having PP (public transportation) phobia..
so...prefered to stay at home more...
this is escpecially when needed to take d PP here during d office hour...

When will the government going to upgrading it???
The people here chose to take PP yet the government can't supply d rising demands sufficiently
During the office hour by 7.30-9am and 5-7pm, u ll be frustratred when u're here..
seeing and experiencing by ur own..

no matter black, white, yellow or brown- skinned, are squeezing and
nearly breathless inside this small "sardine tin".
even inside the sardine tin, still got spaces of liquid for the fish to align tidily...


Here, u gonna to have all the "solid"s like they wanna to burst the container...
the ppl kept squeezed though it's already far far exceeding d poor little thing's capacity..

see.. still can see clearly some faces even almost "pasted" to the glasses...
simply because if u dun wanna being late for ur work, then just bear to squeeze with others
then... of course, wanted or not wanted.. just get in...

Poor ppl here paying for the uncomfortable trip and to be squeezed..
I used up RM10 daily reaching and back from my working place
in the return-- so uncomfortable trip...

What are the rights for us as users then?
Pay and get the lousy service?

Inside d monorail or LRT... funny 2 see the "wu nai" faces seeing this scenarios
where ppl really can do nothing to it...
the ladies holding bags protecting their front,

radiculously... still can see some ppl "deadly" reading a book in such a condition,
Ya hor... government's promoting reading habits in PP...
when u're in these kind of condition then u ll c how difficult are to lift up a book, eventhough lifted up, u wouldn't have d mood wanna to read it...
seeing different ppl, from short to tall, thin to fat,
nicely dressed up OL with variety n colourful of high heels,
OG(office guys)- foreigners-bangladesh, pakistan, nannies, uncles, housewives and some OKU...
and kind malaysian always liked to give their seats to these ppl...

Looking down from LRT or monorail...
u ll see seriously jammed traffic with long long queue...
n irritated waiting ppl...
instead..PM should come and experiencing together with his lovely ppl during this these time..
then i'm sure that he would so eagerly wanted to do something about it..
Its demand either LRT or monorail is really far far exceeding its supply..
Pls lah... taking our income tax then doing something about to fix it lah...

This is basically what d ppl wanted without further promises of other benefits...
o rushing 0 rushing...

o squeezing 0 squeezing..



another 1...

more spaces... ye.... definitely nt during office hour..
This consider much much better od.....

Eventhough it's raining day, it still can't improve d condition...

with HIS abundant of grace day by day... ^^

Didn't going out for lunch since had spent lots of $$$

We tried to save $$$ as to cover our others' expenses then
trying making our own meals here.
This few days managed to make our own breakfast for d
housemates here...
Thanksful that v can enjoy our own prepared meals here..

Hmm... so far had been prepared omelette, bee hoon,

housemates also praised that the taste was not bad ^.^

And yesterday nite, Brandon had cooked us the very special
yummy spicy maggi mee which making me having running nose
afterwards...^.^

Will try to update with more pics here afterwards... ^.^

Start my new environment... @.@ + ^.^

Really long time didn't update my blog already....

currently in a comfortable big master room that today so
luckily can use people's wireless to update my news...

(bcox my frens let it out for me since i'm the only gal
and will be much more convenient to have own washroom)
It's the biggest room i ever owned... ^.^
Thanks frens and host.....

Thanksful to Lord that i got a nice place to settle in KL
for my 10 wks working days though it's a bit far...
(cox i need to use more than 1 hour to reach
my working place)
it is exactly the opposite of Pavillion Mall of that peak area
with all the shopping malls..

Really thanksful and thanks to the host that
i got a master room here with air-con
with very cheap rental and also the very friendly hosts... ^.^

Brandon and i had tried to estimate the time to reach that place
last friday the day after we reached KL..
and we enjoyed our "Iron Man" and big meals 2 that day...

But... must share my 1st day's experience...
for the 1st day of my working day,
since many things were not so getting on
so quite a lots things that felt worst..

For the 1st day, we going out by 7.30am and stucked for quite
a long period at the LRT $$ collector machine there
bcos the machines didn't want to accept our paper money
furthermore, the 1st day of working day made us mixed with
the feelings of a bit nervous+excited+afraid...

We finally bought RM20 touch and Go card each where
we needed to take LRT, monorail and rapid bus for return
i really wanna complain that cheating, ineffective "T n G",
that day, we used up almost all the amount,
imagine 1 day RM20 for transportation fee where
normally should be RM10...

We walked from KL central to monorail stn to transit then reaching
Bukit Bintang then pass through the skycrappers with
terribbly jammed traffic with road controlling traffic police ,
passed through Pavillion, Mariott Hotel... to reach office...

Upon reaching the Keck Seng building,
We were being called to wait for quite a long period and
the atmosphere in the office so unfamiliar 4 us and every1 was
busy doing their own tasks and would not even care 4 us...

Then the very 1st day since we're in design office, we were already
been given the tasks to design already where we were
almost forget things we had learnt and really needed time
to catch back and found it a bit stressful..

After the office hour, we tried to get home then...
and i was really in the condition of so called jammed people
when i was in the monorail and LRT (can u imaging that u're really
like in the sardine tin where it just couldn't even move ur arms
or legs and the space only available for 1 bcum for 2 ???)
That y there were so many molest cases, pocket pickers happening inside
where the Malaysian complaint so mc especially the ladies...
We only managed to reach home by 8pm++ that day including
buying sum daily stuffs at the Atria Mall near our current home...

That day i wondered that how am i going to survive for the rest
of my 5 yrs of working days then...

oh ya... my very 1st Sunday Service...
i attended it at section 16 SIBKL...
wow... it's really a cutural shock...

i never know that the SIB here is so mc different as compared to the
SIB in Sibu... i volunteered myself to English church bcox i wanted to
drag Brandon to church again and he promised me that
he will go together with me next Sunday... ^^

Inside the church.. everything so new to me and it's really huge place,
crowds with all the red jacket welcoming bro and sis
the hall really big that looked like having opera show and the music band
so grand with around 20 ppl i think... so shocked...

then after P&W start preaching by a pastor fr Australia i think
i found out myself quite lost due to my lousy English and really found
myself thus so helpless when tried to interact....
I told myself that i must try to improve my English during this period..

Thanks so mc to Jason for fetching me there then after the service,
we heading to 1 Utama to meet up with Ann Nee, Aaron, Hooi Keng
and Grace at Italiano there for lunch then chatting for a long time 2..
that meal also costed us RM20 each lik tat ...

only being here not more than a week, then all the meals,
transportation expenses already costed me over
almost a month of the expenses in Penang, sad.. unbearable...

yet...
thanksful and prayed to Lord that i will be adapting myself to the
new environment very soon..
