2008-05-14T23:31:00.000-07:00

Hi mom!

It’s been a month since I’ve given you a written update and pictures, but its ok since you gotten the bag right? Heh. Hope dad and sis have a safe trip back from China. L Stupid earthquake. Alrighty so where have I been the past month? Lets see. Shopping, working buffeting, chilling, gyming, basketballing, cussing becos of the playoffs and not to forget clubbing and Kennedy Space Center! Clubbing scene is pretty much like singapore’s but it’s just tons of different people, we have the blacks, Brazilians, Americans, bit of Asians, Mexicans and any countries you can think of that is in the Disney college program. Coz we went clubbin in downtown Orlando on a “Party Bus” that sends us to and fro the club “Roxy”. Not really impressed though and I don’t think I will go again becos that club just don’t have the feel. Kennedy Space Center! Next launch is May 31st. Space Shuttle Discovery will launch from Pad 39-A there. It is a real launch out to space, not a Mission: SPACE launch. Cool eh, I went there with 2 jappie friends, they are so funny haha we had lots of fun there. I like all of their simulator rides as they are really NASA and has the real feel, though Mission: SPACE have the feel too but we are “ISTC” International Space Training Center, and the are NASA. We use actors from CSI: Miami as our Capcom while they use real astronauts who’ve been to space as their narrator. We had lunch with an astronaut over there too after paying an additional $10. Worth the money though, we had lunch with Dr. John Fabian, he’d been on two missions to space and lived to tell the tale so to have lunch with us now. New york comin the next Monday. Man are you excited. How can anyone not be! The big apple! Liberty Enlightening the World indeed. Give me your tired, give me your poor, give me your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. These are the words engraved on to the gift to America from Emma Lazarus, The Statue of Liberty. I’d be on a mission to find out if Lonely Planet: Best of New York is telling the truth, whether if there is really such engravings on the statue. Hahaha. Pics comin up miss you mommy. Capcom’s callin me to clock in for work now see ya in awhile!

4 Gs on this simulator

Replica of Space Shuttle

I'm scheduled to work at 10 but i woke up at 10:45, by the time i get there i'll be recorded as late for 2 hours and awarded the same point, so might as well.

2008-03-16T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hi Mami,

By the time you read this, you’d realise, another spring has passed and another summer has came, another birthday cake and another year older you are! How old you are, adds up to how much I spend to live on for a week! Haha! I’d spend less here if it means you’d turn younger with each dollar less on the receipt I receive. Mom, I wasn’t here for New Year I wasn’t here for your birthday. :( Don’t worry though! I have prepared a hugeee present to go with the tight hug you’re gonna get at the airport haha.

Good lord, it’s been a month and two weeks. Time flies and I didn’t realise until I’m filling up the Week 6 log book for Profesor de Souza, who called me a Gringo when I should be a Jeanigo instead. That rude punk haha. My phone bills are like one of the rides in EPCOT, give it a guess, that’s right. Soarin’ haha.

I’ve met some really nice colleagues at Mission Space and my last shift of 13hrs and 45 mins seems to fly when I’m with them. Just to give them credit I’ll list em out. Belrit! Anthony! Felix! Kevin! Thomas! Josue! Bryan! Meagan! Chelsea! Rick! David I! David II!

Battle of good and evil. Oscar and Rotten Tomatoes. We have the duds. Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg. Thankfully I don’t have to see him often, that faggot actually wants to give me a nickname and only gave up when I told him I thought of one for him too. Grecko. Play mean, that’s playing into my game.

Thank you guys! Thanks for putting in so much effort in gathering all the stuffs for my goodie box! My Easter Present eh!

Even without the box I know you guys love me already!

Waiting to be filled with warmth straight through my ribs into my heart when the box comes.

I’m starting to cook :D this means less expense and a even more youthful mum when I get back.

Lots of Lovey Dovey

Napkin collector.

2008-03-09T15:11:00.000-07:00

Hey mommay!

Katrina got unplugged. Credit the maintenance guy and great teamwork in #4010 Rm 2! Now everything is back to normal (except waiting for the carpet to be unrolled.) We gupped the drying machine they left in our room cause it's sooo useful, no more leaving our towels out in the front door anymore!

Napkin collector!

Yeah thats right, my new hobby. But no puttin em in albums heh. I've been collecting napkins everytime i go to starbucks that i felt bad. Well i spent 5 bucks here you cld give me some napkins, perhaps some milk, stirrer, straws and toilet seat covers lol! Damn thats what you have to do if you wana save up for some food. Eliminate all other costs that you could. Living the life of our forefathers, thats what it is! Bet they miss their family especially during festive seasons.

Gotta brace up for spring break i guess, incoming 13 hours shift. Good news for that day alone I'm going to earn a hundred bucks haha. SG boys went to have bennigan's yesterday and that is when i first tasted salmon in Orlando and also the first time i used sis' credit card. I'm sorry sis, I really didn't have enough then and we're deaddd hungry.

Hope you guys had a great time there in malacca eh! Fishes are so cheap back in singapore, teriyaki salmon at 6 bucks. No where to find in US man. 6 bucks can't get you much food in US, probably 2 Starbucks cake. But darn they're worth it as hell. I'm munching their oatmeal raisins cookie as i'm typing this.

Made you proud mommay, 89 marks for the first Experiential Learning assignment :D finished all the assignments they gave us already. I wasn't even so hardworking back in Singapore! I did all of em in Starbucks. Didn't leave my caffe culture in Singapore, brought it 10000 miles here too. Starting to know most of the baristas here already hahaha. All their cakes are 1 price, 1.95 but some of em are bigger than others, still they're 1.95.

Did you guys receive my mail?

Can't wait for Thursday again.

Miss you guys mom, sis, bro and dad

Katrina-ed inside out

2008-03-07T20:59:00.000-08:00

Hi Mom,

This is the state of my room now!

Joshua loves his work place. Living proof: Our Room. He brought Typhoon Lagoon straight up into our room. Cool eh. Well, our toilet bowl choked and Josh didn't know too much toiletpaper caused it. So well awesome, here's also my first hands on experience on cleaning shit lol. Savouring the growing pains.

Katrina inside out?

Wet through and through.

Went to watch Jumper with my hk friend in the theatres today at downtown disney. Perfect all the way up till the end, up till when we have to realise that Lake Buena Vista unleashed its precipitation on us long before the credits started scrolling down. Everytime it's downtown disney eh. Biotchhhh.

EPCOT Mission Space. Work was purrrrfect im bam with all the facts and stuffs needed for my ride. It is also the one place where time flies and where I'd like to stay on instead of going back. For the first time, I'm dreading to go back Vista. Katrina-looms.

Mum, thanks for all that you have done for me. Even the little things like toilet training me right from the start.

Loves

Will

LYNX bus services
Argh sorry for taking so long to update my blog ma, it’s been a hectic week for me here that I don’t even have time to take my laptop out from the safe until my off day on Wednesday. First of all I wana tell you smtg ma, you saw my project for Gaming Operations? The one with the big ball and I did a brochure for it that one? Remember? This must be affinity. Using EPCOT in my project and working at EPCOT. I’ve just been told that I’m transferred to EPCOT, Mission Space! Operations! No more Marketing Director, no more sundae makin, no more moving heavy ketchup packets, no more cleaning the bin and sadly no more Arro L Buttttt, EPCOT. Kinda like my dream workplace after visiting it. You know how I love slacking at cafes right. They have a fantastic place to chill out right at the Paris section of the World Showcase. I’ve gotten to know a few jap girls who works in EPCOT too. So, mom heh heh. Alright back to talking about Wednesday.

Wednesday

I took a sick leave on Wednesday so that I could go to the Asian Market and buy my Bee Hoon, Oyster sauce, Prawn Crackers, Grass Jelly, Tempura Bread Crumbs, Korean Dou Ban Jiang, Nong Shim Korean Noodles, Almond Cookies, Siew mai, char siew bao andddddd SOTONG BALL! The Asian Market is actually just a mama shop, no actually bigger but probably smaller than two mama shops put together. Bad rep for selling expired products : S so we checked each things reallll carefully. They sell alotta vege tt kinda too, but wait, the snow pear. Produced in Nov 07. Hmmmmmmm. Ok that’s what made me put back the pork floss haha since there are some white stuffs inside too. Wednesday night, I was touched by microwave food for the first time. The familiar aroma traveled through my nose onto my palettes. I could almost taste it. YES! It’s char siew baoooooooo! Heh. 3 cuttlefish balls to go with it. (I’m thankful for it, even though this kinda cuttlefish ball I wouldn’t even give it a second bite back in Singapore. Thank you sotong yi)

hola char siew bao!
Thursday

What did I do on Thursday? Beats me I kinda forgot. Oh now I remember. Had my intense workout in the morning, rushed home changed and went for a meet –n-greet with my managers at Pop Century. I was actually kind of disappointed with the length of the session, it’s only a two hour meeting. Usually I’ll be complaining all the way about what meeting, lectures and all the kinda stuffs. But after taking Experiential Learning, I realise that this kind of events are the best ones for me to learn and experience more. No Professor Debi did not pay me, no David Kolb did not give me a private session. I just realise that this course of lesson is just useful for me, instead of turning off every time there is this kind of event, I might as well jus turn on my ears, give my attention and try to gain from the time there.

Yay, they gave me Rice Krispy Treats after the session. I only had a bagel before that. Hungry! Poor me. Literally too lol. Went out with ten bucks and went out also with the notion of using it to last a week. Ha. Instead I spent half on Subway already. After the session I took the LYNX bus service to Florida Mall by myself (I made Ma proud heh). Well all my friends are there and we get a free ride back Vista Way from there, so I figure I’ll try going there myself and use it as an opportunity to see Orlando. Resolutely, I refuse to stick the earphones in my ears, instead I chose to see where the bus goes and what interesting things we are along the way that we can visit next time. Saw the Odditorium, Prime Outlet Malls, Mid Florida Tech, Flea Market, Wild n Wet and Sea World’s new Aquatica. Beautiful vacation city is Orlando. This city will get hit the hardest if people decide to go somewhere nearer to home for their next vacation. I could without any dispute say that Orlando is a true tourism city, even Orlando Sentinel, the city’s papers, is devoted to writing about Disney, other resort chains and other tourism related research. Woah, this gonna sound like a report already.

Well, safe and sound, homewards bound.

Not so fast, haha must shop Florida mall! Old Navy, Hot Topic, Abercrombie, Abercrombie and Fitch, CK, AX, Lotsa Auntie Anne’s, Roxy and what do you want? Nop it aint dirt cheap here, as the name says. It’s a mall so it’s more of boutiques and stuffs. Price difference, 40%. The Abercrombie and Fitch shirt is makin me tingle. $10 a week dude hahaha. Next week then.

Back home, we’re supposed to explore some life in the night. So off we go at 10:30 taking Vista way’s bus to Downtown Disney. Pok gai ah. So cold, all clubs 21 years old and House of Blues wrapped up by this corporate called HIMMS. Argh. So the four of us waited in the cold. Me, Sho (Male, 21 , China (Xiamen), Rachel (China) and Cecilia (18, HK) . Time past fast when we’re chatting like mad hahaha, why do we have to past time chattin in the cold? Coz we over shopped in Virgin Megastore that we missed the bus. By 12AM all shops closed, so when you’re not in the club, you’re out in the cold : (

Back home, it’s supper time! Ladies feeling cold, cookin up what they’ve got. (adapted from WhineUp – Kat DeLuna) Well the girls dint cook, sho made pizza and noodles while I had my Nong Shim Cup Noodles. TOUCHED. Finally something really spicy and tasty heh. Cecilia took the remaining of my soup and dipped hers into mine, we’re a sad bunch. Recyclin soups haha. After that, went back rm and slept. Oh Mickey and Minnie is in my room lol but same bed. Kinda used to it already : O

Friday

Well today, I slept from 4AM to bout 9.45AM so that we could go to Disney University and get the stupid paycheck done and over with. So I banked in the cheque, 225 in, 200 out. Back to emergency funds haha. They charge $10

Guess what just happened to me woo. Didn’t I say I was at the outlet mall’s Starbucks, I sat there long enough for one of the baristas to treat me a skinny latte! At first when he first said that he was gonna treat me one I dint take him seriously, at all! Suddenly he came to me just now and said, so are you ready for your latte? I’m like yeah!! You want the skinny one right? HELL YEAH! Man I thought a tall was good enough, he gave me a grande one! I gave him a 3 bucks tip cos I really appreciate that. Oh, he just introduced, he’s called Jerrick or smtg. He’s offerin a cake, jus because I said I loved the reduced fat cakes they have there. What a great place to chill. Guess this is called personalized service and employee empowerment we don’t see in Singapore. In Singapore it’s gonna be like, must be he’s tryin to get to know the girl that’s why the free drink. Everything gets deviated from the art of customer relations.

Heart warming latte in this 44F night in Orlando.

Oh I finished my logbook already mom.

Loves,

Will

P.S. I did the Career LiftOff Inventory, it is a test of where my interest lies. The test is built according to John Holland’s Theory of Careers. This is how it goes. First of all, Politics, Hospitality, Banking & Finance, Business Entrepreneurship, Customer Service and Government services. Rather true, these are all where my interests lie.

Vista Day

2008-02-21T21:17:00.000-08:00

Hi mom!

When you have no car, no money and lessons in the middle of yr day. Staying in Vista Way for the day that is. $ spent today, 0. Fun points earned, 0 too! Aint too bad, no fun but no money spent and you get to finish up yr assignments.

Woke up at 2pm today after playing com games with mickey last night, minnie was in the room till probly 2am aft she left we cont'd playin till bout 3am lol. So i woke up and it was lessons at 4pm! Experiential learning! Yay nissin noodles for brunch and off i went for the lessons. Professor Debi was her usual eccentric and spontaneous self teaching us about the education theorist John Dewey and Lewin. So we explored abit about our learning style and not surprisingly im more towards the concrete side as compared to the abstract side and balanced between the doer and brainstormer. This course is surprisingly interesting as it brings us to know ourselves more and how many things are just a matter of preference and not that we are born like that.

Right, i'm hungry after lessons! No chix-fil-A and no wendy's cos this poor boy is low on cash and the ATM aint workin yet andddd he's disciplined and would not eat into his emergency NY funds heh. So cook up the chicken tenderloins in your freezer then! I made Onion and tomato marinara with Penne together with a Weida-Baked Chix Tenderloins. Competitor of the day, Miss Chew Ziwei. She puts up her sausage fried rice heh! Can't hold a candle to mine, sweet penne as compared to soy sauce with hard rice : D i scrwd the potato up bad tho heh Vincci the hongkie was laughin at the sound of me eatin the potato, coz it sounded like im eatin an apple hahaha.

After that went off to Zijian's place, girls was watchin a walk to remember while ZJ was readin my Letters From Iwo Jima and I was rushin my assignments for the week. Gd job eh, 1 day gone just this way I thought. UNTILL. Aloysius came home in his pyjamas like costume and started makin helluva noise wanting us to play 5-10 loser eat expired bread soaked in root beer lol. Wee hee hee, Shaun was the first to down, in fact he downed the most bread and half of the drink lol. Aloy came next with 2 bread and Zijian had 1 and the last one. Lucky me had 2 pieces only : D Shaun has once again saved the day!

Back home aft that and a date to Epcot tmr in the morn! Gonna go to the gym first before goin Epcot and off to work heh. Dad dint pick up my call when i called him just now, napping dads all don't. Work hard daddy! Build up yr resort! I'll help you in awhile :D meanwhile work hard! Win the bread! That's my dad! Gd night mom, I'll work out for awhile before i go to slp heh. I miss Char Siew Bao too la.

Take care mom.

Will

Sugar, Spice and everything nice

2008-02-20T21:41:00.000-08:00

Hey mom!

Lets start off with my experiment with eggs :)

Introducing the legendary shrimp and egg mayo that Ziwei gave 9.9 :D. High indulgence, low in guilt.

Ingredients:
Shrimps, Hard boiled egg, Lettuce, Pepper,Oregon leaves, Classic Caesar Dressing (fat-free), Salt and Fat Free shredded Mozarella Cheese.

Introducing, the B.S. Omellette. This is something you eat when you're desperate, low on cash and late at night heh.

Ingredients: I'm not even going to talk about it :(

Lets get back to what I've got to say!

Miss you mom! Today’s my off day and I realised that just before I left for work so whew! Haha anyway yesterday was great fun at the working place. I’m being trained at the Bakery outlet in the resort, this is where all the Hot Fudge Sundae, Thaidai (how do you spell that) Cheesecake, brownies, milkshake and Chocolate Vanilla Twirls (Fat-free sugar –free) ice cream comes out. Place of lots of happiness huh!

My trainer of the day, Liz, is a white blonde lady probably in her 40s, brought me through the operations of the Bakery. Her style and “qi” reminds me a lot of sis, jie that’s right! She gives very specific instructions, patient with greenhorns, confident and experienced, a great trainer that my friend Zijian sorely misses. He sits next to me right now in a Starbucks at Orlando Premium Outlet.

Zijian, age 19, height not short, weight not heavy, used to be in NPCC and thinks that his 18 days of training in a NPCC course is just like how it’s like to live Orlando for 6 months. His life in Orlando is quite sad up till now, forgetting about having Aloysius constantly bugging him, his work schedule, location, work scope and colleagues are all really bad. He has to wake 3AM everyday to go to work and traveling time to his work place is 2 hours! He has a problem with beef so therefore, he can’t work in the F&B outlets (or rather his manager didn’t post him there) so he work as custodial for the past 4 days of work, what’s worse he has a psycho Japanese colleague who holds on to his “sweeping-territory” with pride and asks him to back off when Zijian helped him clean his table.

“Friends don’t laugh at friends, they make others laugh at you.”

I feel better about my job in Pop Century Resort now. At least I got the day free, since my traveling time to resort is only ¼ of Zijian. Funny thing is, there was once Zijian’s manager sent him back on his car, it took only 10 mins. The bus service’s loop is real big, which explains the 2 hours trip LOL. Happy 6 months Zijian!

Back to my day at training, the Bakery is fun in the sense that it’s less stressful but you also get to see the reason why Americans get fat. 3 scoops of cookies & crème ice cream with lotsa hot fudge, nuts, whip cream and a cherry on the top, time check, 11 p.m. Also it was Screw-free day # 5! No reprimands and no points deducted for the day, it was rather relaxed that I feel guilty collecting the pay. We dint get lotsa orders, work was easy, so was cleaning up and stocking goods. For work, I also got to touch the espresso machine for the first time, the pal who gave me the caffeine to study thru the night at the airport, so this is what’s inside you!

Reached home at bout 1:30AM though, cos we knocked off at 12.30 so we missed the 12:30 bus L theres only the 1AM bus, 1/2 hr bus ride so 1.30 I got home. Shared my lunchbox with my friends living downstairs since my dinner was provided by Pop, head back and pop off to bed for gym’s 10.00AM next morn!

So what did I do today? Gym, cook, do some Disney work, went to Disney Cast connection looking for cheap steals there (found none though :( ) and right now here I am, Orlando Premium Outlet mall’s Starbucks heh. I had lunch just now with 3 ladies at my place, just like the rule of nature, just like the law in a pride of lions, the ladies sit there and the guys (well only me) did the cooking.

Menu of the day
Entrée: Chicken & Egg Mayo (110 Calories)
Main Dish: Supa Nice Chicken Tenderloin with brown rice (380 Calories)
Side order: Steamed Sweet Potatoes (180 Calories)
Dessert: Assorted fruits of the day (150 Calories)

Dinner at the Premium Outlet for today, I had my first subway here. Turkey breast, lettuce, tomatoes and sweet onion sauce (fat-free of course). Rather filling but still went Starbucks to relive my life in Singapore, a cake and coffee :) Banana and nuts cake (no sugar added) and a Tall Java Chip Light Frappe (1/3 less calories and no sugar syrup). What’s with all the fat-free and calorie count? My dedication to the lifestyle I have back in Singapore that is, it’s irresponsible to borrow your son to USA and return a fat him back to you, right mom?

Alright mommy I miss youuu, buy mi jiang kueh back for breakfast when you finish sending sis to school k :)

Signin off wit love

Will

Photo Shooting Day

2008-02-18T21:50:00.000-08:00

Hey Mom!

nah Mickey aint takin his pic with us today. He's leaving it till 15 Aug when we graduate. Lets use my "thousand words" do the talking today :)

my Reduced Fat Choco Chip Banana Cake at starbucks! with a lil candle :)

The dudes singing the birthday song for me, Zijian chipped in 50cents for the cake! And he's gonna play 50cents rap music when he gets back (aloy joke)

Sherlene Pancakes lol with a sad tissue candle. LOTSA SMOKE.

Dungeness Crab, Josh had that last Wednesday

My Yellow Tail Snapper, i thought they only give 1 fillet of it. Instead they gave me 2 fillets and that adds up to a whole fish!

Vday gathering at Meadows Creek Apt 4010!

Animal Kingdom trip last friday :) guess who we saw. anyway meet Clare's room mate and Yatuke teh jap friend we got.

alright mom you take care!

Will

give sis a hug.

2008-02-18T01:16:00.000-08:00

hi mom,

please give sis a hug in my place, aww she counted down to my birthday over there in Singapore but im still sleeping over here in Orlando heh so i woke up picked up the call feeling touched but still nature called, so i brought the phone into the toilet hahaha i'm sorry sis :(

heh slacked at home after that and had cup noodles for brunch. work was easy and it went on breezy. Tons of Coke Zero and pretzels heh. Took sometime to note points on how to run the F&B department for today, F&B could push a resort over the top or useless to the extent of making no impression in guests' minds. So what's the point if you have an F&B outlet and not maximising its use and capacity. The life of an F&B outlet is its supplies and the clutch to successfully run an F&B outlet like Pop Century's is to time the point of replenishing the food perfectly. When you replenish the food at the right time, the orders could be processed quickly and minimizing the waiting time while maximising the capacity of the server. Woo but easier said than done, so if there is a proper system than using other cast members as runners this problem could be eliminated.

Nuff of work heh. After work, SHAUN, my man my man. He came out to meet me for supper after i counted down to my bday (in Orlando time) on the bus, thanks shaun :) we had wendy's.

We could get baked potato instead of fries for the side! Yay, health freak not taking over cos the salad option did not tempt me heh. Sherlene's gonna make me pancakes instead of cakes, aww this reminded me that one year i had to eat an eggless cake cos i had chicken pox hahaha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL

Loves mommay

Will

nostalgic lo mien

2008-02-16T23:00:00.000-08:00

hi mom!

third day @ work today! aww mom, sis told me you still clean my room regularly, just do it the day before i come home (add a few more amenities i wont mind :) ) Learning how to live without me huh mommay! Thanks sis for all the updates from home, link me when you made the family blog ehhh!

Ethnic restaurant! Thats it, thats my work place for the day. Menu #1 Shrimp Lo Mien, #2 Fish of the day, #3 Vegetable Lo Mien, #4Nachos Supreme, #5 Very Sloppy Joe. Emma, my trainer of the day. She's an aged lady from Peru and she's the first motherly figure I've encountered on this trip. Aww, she said that I look like her son and her grandfather is chinese LOL. I'll include more ethnic restaurants in my hotel/casino/resort next time, it topped my list of favourite category of restaurant heh. We close early as well and the food served is much more easier to prepare so I hit clock out at bout 11pm reachin home at bout 12 woo and got to see our mickey and minnie mouse back in the room heh.

Back at home i started defrosting the shrimps i bought in Publix, shrimp lo mien no more. Made shrimp pasta for mickey and minnie, Sherlene's comin over for supper so i made shirmp chiao fian for her and myself, hah too cheap to buy a bottle of soya sauce so i used the packet ones. She doesnt like soya sauce so my grades suffered :( 6.5/10 for it. God im so full now, i had 2 turkey breast ham, bowl of fried rice, a peanut butter jelly and cheese toast, fortune cookie and a handful of lays. My 1,500 calorie diet!! :( gym time heh

1 thing im really not used to. game time's at night instead of the morning.

But no point, no tv!! We're all too cheap to buy tv hahaha $94 ouch, and we're bringin it to New York? So guess we'll just camp in the gym and watch tv. One more reason to go gym!

Mom take care of your health!

Still goin strong against influenza

Will

post valentine's valentine's dates.

2008-02-15T23:36:00.000-08:00

hey mom,

sup over there mon. it was post V day today and you know scandals fly

here and there. But so happen that we get to peek thru the smokescreen for one or two of em, live!

Ok heres the thang, pals met up

to go Animal Kingdom today me, clare, ziwei and her room mate. On the bus we gotten

a jap guy and a perunian to join us, Yatuke and Victor. Happened to talk to the jap guy

before the other time. So Animal Kingdom was mmmm overrated. overrated. overrated. Probably coz im lookin for the kicks but there was none there unless eating ice cream and watching how animals are conserved tops your chart of exciting things to do for your day off. But, spotting someone who told us that they aint free to go out with us for the day, AND, to see em running off after seeing us at the Animal Kingdom, IS SOO INTERESTING. LOL. Who's tt? Ok well we all stay block 40, make a guess.

That aint it for the day, we're too biotchy. So after having ice cream, watching animal conservation projects, safari ride, ending the day with a mind blowin Mt Everest rollercoaster drop is just perfect. Off we go, back to Vista. Changed and lets go for dinnerrrrrrr. Jessy, Aloy, Ziwei and Clare was with us, actually Shaun too but aww he sneaked off halfway sayin he has smtg impt or asked us to go ahead for dinner without him. Not that we don't care about him, but Maslow's 5 levels of needs. Physiological needs comes before social needs, so we had to satisfy our growlin stomach. JAP FOOD beside Publix (a cold storage like Walmart)! Eh 10 bucks, but its considered inexpensive as compared to the sharp sharp chopper and knives prepared for us at any Disney themeparks. Aint too bad, REALLY satisfying meal after spending the day talkin about sukiyaki with the jappy we had with us.

Groceries! Do yall carry your groceries back by foot in Singapore? No, uh do yall talk about laundry? Hmm.. Maybe it's time we take time to appreciate what others have done for us :) Ok healthy lifestyle in US is gonna cost, and it's gonna cost alot. 99cents for a pizza, $1.20 for 3 tomatoes. Sticking to my principles, for 1 more week. mommay, loved the days when I only have to take care of the nutrition label on the food, now the price tag is taken into consideration too :(

Ok back home, wow lovey dovey birdies aint back yetty! Opps.

Opps Shaun aint back too.

Opps some ppl (female) aint back too.

Ahh so gossipy this place. And down one by one they go, just like how words go round. Fever spread one by one to them as well at bout 2AM everyone started feeling feverish and sick already. Few of em gotten the panamol from me and sher took some vitamins.

But i'm still going strong! Thanks to your pedigree genes mommy, love ya imma go check out my pod shuffle, it's here already!

Loves

Will

look mom! no hands!

2008-02-14T20:39:00.000-08:00

hi mom!

I'm doin fine here 1 week in 13501 Meadow Creek Drive Apt #4010 32821, don't

DHL food in here for me pleasee. I've got Reese' Choco Peanut Butter Cups, 1 big Lays,

1 big Doritos, 2 Tubs of Ben & Jerry's, spaghettis, organic penne, organic salsa,

fat-free pringles. Momma I won't live up to your dreams, I WON'T GROW FAT

HERE HAHA. Lets see how did the days go by here since day 1.

DAY 1

24 hours on air woo, transferred at Narita and DC. Ron would definitely be pissed if he sees how the security treats guests there, lol major strip tease at security. Everyone's takin off everything infront of security to get scanned shoes, belt, jacket i dont know why but i could see Ron arguing with one of the security people there already. It's like a major factory there. Americanoia. O, i bought a Barrack fridge magnet there :)

Touchin down Orlando we waited there for bout prob an hour feelin sick from 4 meals on board the plane. All the build up of calories and none burnt off pisses me off lol. All's well after the Disney college program people sorted the paperwork out and we got to know who we bunkin with. Moment of truth! Josh's my room mate! (He spoils my diet plan regularly with the stocking up of chocolates and donuts.)

We got bus-ed to Vista Way Apartments, crazy young fellas we are. We checked out the place right after we reach, no one joined us for the night coz they're all busted already. 12AM mind yall and we got a packed sche the next day wakin up at 8 lol. We scouted the place around and found the Walgreens which is like Walmart 24/7. Wendy's for supper!

(Spendin all the 24 hours on board with the same person's gnna make magic im sure :D )*

*go ahead ask me who the 2 are

Day 2

Paperwork paperwork paperwork since 8am till morn. Gd thing! Breakfast provided lol. Lotsa danishes and i don't know florida strawberries? We had the lunchtime free and we brought the guys to Wendy's for lunch, then back to Vista for a break and sort out our stuffs. Mann our roommate just moved into our apt and he's an indian studyin in Switz. Oh and our other room mate is a Perunian who's quite hmm you know uh, you know Fabian? Yeah, he greeted us the night earlier through the window when we're tryin to get in lol. I was like "Yeah man we got the whole place to ourselves!" then theres a soft voice in the dark "hey.. hey.." Then I was like " Josh did you hear that? " Josh was "What? No, this place is freaky." Then the lights came on, out comes his white face, I thought thats it we're done for lol. "Hola, I'm David." oh so we dint have the whole place to ourself haha. Yeah continuin, we met our old fat dude from UNCG whos sole purpose is to make us fulfill the criteria of the J1 Visa, hellalot mre paperwork. But we've got pizza for din free heh.

Day 3

Traditions for Disney, hazing in, initiation, orientation. It all started with a mouse, pixie dusts, protecting the magic, safeD begins with me. Josh, stop sleepin. When's the next break time? Lol and out comes some of the funny HK drama, they came out from TV, to Switzerland and then right into the Disney traditions class. Well not literal ones but Sherlene and Jiarong do have 2 Hong Kong babes for bunkmates. Woo, I'm posted to Mr Mickey's value (budget) resort called Pop Century Resort. Still wonderin how it's gonna be like then.

Fast forward, day 1 at work.

My job has huge responsibilities, deliver the 2 servings of Penne with Alfredo, 1 bread stick and breaded chicken on a mickey plate. CUTE EH! 1000 calories i bet. But Americans are sucker for that lol. Oh i make pizzas too. Together with carryin em out from the -60 celsius fridge to the 500 fahrenheit oven to bake em, catch em, putting em into boxes and delivering em to guest's hands :) sounds fun?

Ok so day 1, i met my trainer for the day, Jose. Together with this Puerto Rican called Ronald. HAH RONALD YOU'RE MAKIN PIZZAS WITH ME TOO? Oh Jose is Puerto Rican too, and darn whats her name again, the cute latino, Desiree, Perunian. The whole fckin place is Hispanic lol. Espanol espanol espanol. puta puta puta puta. Senorita. Por favor. Gracias.

Oh an azn! Whats her name oh Zoe, hi Zoe, Guangdong, China. Actually she's the first person i met there so she kinda showed me around the place to where im supposed to meet Jose. Jose thought im a vet there coz i took off my "Earning My Ears" tag, so he's like "go take a look at the menu and start work". Hi, this section says day 1 of work yo. Ok so looks like he forgot he's on duty to get me started lol so he got me trained to doin each dish. The pizza outlet feels like a major canteen everything is just heated up and we just scoop em up ugh. What have we got on our menu? #1 Penne Alfredo Chicken, #2 Parmesan Stuffed Chicken, #3 Vegetable Lasagna, #4 Meatball Sandwich, #5 Peperonni Pizza. Time flies just as espanol flies all over the place.

Day 2 @ work

Pretty much the same thing but theres this Nigga Lady constantly on my back, thats what they call getting the monkey off your back i guess. Dementria's her name, and she's good. I mean good at giving the "Im-watching-you", "Yeah-im-really-watching-you" face, fuck my tag i forgot to put the "I'm a noob" i mean "Earning My Ears" tag again. So she thinks im a vet too and well at the end of the busy day, she's still like good work guys its been busy yall done well. So still aint too bad, but this isnt what im lookin for here in Disney. Sure, all experience leads to some knowledge, aint lookin for this though. Where's my guest interaction at? Frozen pizzas don't respond to noone yo. The place is just so freaking like Genting high lands ha.

The menu writes Florida's Yellowtail Snapper. Made in Singapore brain, shld be quite small, so i ordered another side, Crab and lobsta bisque. omfg. My order actually meant a whole fish lol!
