Dreams are not merely dreams

"Dreams don't necessarily happens in sleep."
-Ven.

Wow, how long has it been since I last updated? Sorry for not updating. Had been hell busy with both work & family~ And no, I'm not finding an excuse (probably a lil' ) Did anyone here realise how fast the time has past? It seemed to me that not long ago, I was still in my class, studying and preparing for O' levels. And now, it's all over and here I am, working while waiting for my results.

For these past weeks, I've been working and resting during my off days. OTL To make it simple, I've no life at all. Hahas, but I had fun at work! ^^ Thou I'm not close with my colleagues but we get along pretty well. ^^ I'm working at Tontei Pork Restaurant which is under the same company as many popular Jap. restaurants such as Ichiban Boshi, Green Pumpkin etc. And from what I know, we're the only Tontei outlet in Singapore. Cool, isn't it?

We can be found at Nex, B1. Shokutsu 10. Specialised in porks, we do not sell beefs and only a few sets with chicken.


Above is how my workplace looks like.
Wondering how's the food? No point asking me since I've NEVER ate there thou I work there. So here's some reviews I found online: REVIEW 1 and REVIEW 2

Mostly I work 2 days every week unless they're short of manpower for the day. The number of stuffs are pretty less as there's only a manager, supervisor, 4 part-timers. That's all - I guess? And the pay is pretty good too! $7/hr on weekdays and $8/hr on weekends or PH.

Working here is quite enjoyable but annoying at the same time. Enjoyable 'cause we get along pretty well and it isn't as strict as where I work previously. (I HATE my previous workplace - especially the manager. I've murdered him in my mind countless time) Annoying 'cause we're restricted to only wearing dark coloured shoes and jeans (black is preferred). And thou I like wearing black, imagine me wearing black tee, black jeans and black shoes. OMG. But rules are rules. So FML. Hahas!

Last Saturday, on my off-day I went to have my inner conch pierced. If you're wondering where it is, here's a pic below to show you the names of different piercings. ^^

 

These are the piercings I already have:
Left ear:
2 standard lobe;
1 upper lobe;
1 helix

Right ear:
2 standard lobe;
2 cartilage (quite similar to the 2nd picture but mine is a lil' lower);
1 inner conch

The 2 standard lobe piercings are done by my mum - she used to be a piercer. Pain level: 2/10. The first piercing was when I was 3 or 4 years old. It hurts like hell to me at that time. I had the 2nd ones on both ear when I was ... Secondary 1...? I guess, can't exactly remember. And both got infection 'cause I kept touching them and etc - dumb right?

After these 4 piercings I had, I went to get my upper cartilage piercing this year, in July, followed by the lower one a week later. I did it partially out of impulse and without informing my parents. I did told them I planned to get new piercings but not when. Heh. And pain level is 3.5/10. I don't think they're really experienced but well, other than the pain, everything is cool~ ^^ I did them at Nex, X-Craft and it's $3 each piercing. Cheap, yea? ^^

I kinda got into some trouble due to my piercings in school. Well, we're only allowed to have a pair of ear studs/earrings/ear stick on each ear. But no, I had 6. So I had to hide them from my teacher or use transparent ear sticks. -.- And during O' levels my teachers asked me repeatedly to remove all ear studs to leave good impression, I did - for oral exams that's all. Written papers ... I had my ear studs on. Heh XP

As for my helix and upper lobe, I got them on the same day in midst of having O' levels after watching movie with my family. My mum was objecting the idea but knowing me, stubborn as I usually am, she simply said "ask your dad" thinking my dad would support her. But no, hah, he said okay! ^^ Pain level: 4/10. I did it at the same place but it was another staff who pierced for me. And ouch, srsly. Probably because I did it at night when our blood pressure increase etc. Oh well~ it's all cool too ^^ And no, I did not remove it when I was having my paper. Thanks to my short hair, I covered them up. Heh XD

And as for my inner conch, 'cause it has to be done using needles, I asked my cousin to bring me to where she did her piercings 'cause couple of my friends did their's there too and all the reviews are great. Inner conch was $10 - different piercings have different price there. On the day before I did my piercing, I went online and read some articles if it'll hurt or not. And mostly say it does, and some even say how their's bled. I was scared, hell scared.

But I already y' know asked my cousin out... and it's bad to cancel on her last min. so I went to Pasir Ris and pierced. The staff - a male one - asked me to sit on a stool in front of the cashier and I did. He took out a needle and I got really scared so I grabbed onto on of my brother's hand - yea, they tagged along - and while I was preparing myself mentally, I I felt pain and I thought he's gonna pierce it slowly but no. Less than 10 sec later, "okay." was what I heard. He's done. WTF, fast right?!

$10 for a painless piercing using needle it's really worth it!!! No joke. The pain last for less then 5 mins. Fast piercing and pain goes away fast too. Isn't it great?! OMG. Pain level: 1/10. I'm so going back to get my tragus piercing after Christmas!!! ^^

After getting my piercing, we went to Changi and had a YOLO outing. Hah. We went Astons to have out late lunch. Fucking full  cheap. Where else can you get such great deal?! ^^ And then we went to Dunkin' Donuts. XP we ate 3 each. Heh. YOLO anyway. You only live once, why not enjoy it to the fullest. And eating is happiness~~ ^^

Anyw, gtg~ ^^ heh.
Ciaos~ ^^
