A Dream

I'm not a good story writer or teller, will just describe what happened and that's it!

When I said my dream, ain't being ambitious, literally it means a D.R.E.A.M - a bad one!

I dreamt, I was on shift in Starbucks as usual, busy closing period, cleaning wiping and stuff... Out of a sudden, my boss came and whispered: "I'm fed up feeding those bunch of idiots downstairs, get rid of it!" In fact, my boss always like to store some cleaning tools right at the stairs in the basement, for God knows why! 

So what happened in the dream, he said he's fed up, so what came into my mind, my boss had been feeding them with some bleaches and mops and chemicals for long! And now it does make sense to me why he wanted to store those stuff just right next to the staircase! In my dream, it looked like this :-
Yes, it's more or less like this!!!

Out of no where, me and my colleagues brought mops, spoons, brushes, buckets, getting ready to fight! (Gosh I hate dream!!!) We ran down to basement and then to this stairs, MONSTERS ran out!!! For God's sake, I actually dreamt shits like this! :O 

We were too panic to fight, instead we ran up again, to escape! Meantime, I saw CHUCKY!! 
Maybe you'd say that I'm just too panic to recognise, I swear, I can't forget his eyes! Like this:-
Okay, I edited this picture 'cause I freaking hate this fella!

Out of no where, his tongue was way loooooong and stick on the stairs with 'the' eyes! I panic, again...

I ran upstairs, thought of getting more equipment to fight! The Starbucks routine, is to mop every single thing with hot water! And dang, this idea came out happening in my dream! I got a bucket of hot water with mop, thought this might help! I bet I worked too much, and so it applies to my dream... Gosh:-

Starbucks one is in blue ;x

I tried to fight, accidentally I spill all the chemicals on table down to floor, and my boss got mad at me and scolded me, it's in a way feeding those monster with more powerful food!

FOOD for monsters!!!

Thank God, alarm rang! And I finally decide to drag myself up. This dream actually being stopped by numerous snoozes of alarm just that I got back to sleep, and then it continues...

Sorry people there's no ending for this story, I'm just so sick of getting dreams like this. It's not just only this, I dreamt a lot more T-T

That's all for now, need to get to what I should do. Thank you for your time :D Adios!

To Draw, To Love, To Show!

It's another week now in Feb, a month ago we were just celebrating new year, anyway, I really do hope time flies faster!

It had been 3 months plus in Starbucks, to be frank I'd been trying hard to let them know I can draw, at least 'beautify' their sign board! Finally I got the chance! Check these out:-

A start of new week! We're currently brewing Verona, full-bodied, full aroma coffee :)


Another piece of sign board: - Sulawesi: Having it Bold, Herbal and Earthy.

Mr. Yong (former art teacher:), guess I didn't let you down, I'm now drawing for Starbucks Oxford! Well at least the mix and match of the colors are not going wrong, main and minor characters are propotionate! Actually proud of my works even though they ain't great :D

Mr. Jeff's class tomorrow, so I think that's all for now! Adios people ;)

p/s: Please anyone post the AEC Tawau recording online (on 07/02 - 9pm, AEC)!!!

Me, and Starbucks!

Just got back from work, another tired working day! Well, I'm going to share some experiences of mine, bits and dots 'bout Starbucks!

Got this job, lucky or not it's your say, but so far for me, it's alright. What did I gain? Experiences, friendship, ups and downs, most importantly, the 'Pounds'!

At first, I can't cope with it. It's all about politics! When you're an Asian, you got nothing much, but to prove that you really can do it! I did it. Trust me, I'm good *evil*!

I met Salvatore, an Italian tough guy! Best regional manager of year 2008, not someone that you can mess around, when you lost something, even the tidy little elastic from the pump, you're pleaded guilty with death sentence! :D After all these while, I got a phrase from him: "Neeyaa, you're good! You're an exception!" I'm glad. My hard works, besides being paid, they're all being appreciated.

Karolina from Poland, Miriam from Spain, Dina from Greece, Anda from the UK, would like to thank you ladies here, for guiding me, for trusting me, and now being a friend to me, forgetting the post you and I are in. Aaron from Australia, Monica from Poland, Lucy from China, thank you for backing me up all the time when I did mistakes.

I run the till, make the coffee, tea and blended frap, wipe the walls, machines, casing... Tiring but enjoying 'em to the fullest. Can't describe the passion of it in words, to know more? Drop by Cornmarket St. Starbucks, and you'll see the flow, the passion, the laughter, hidden 'politics' and more! It's not just about the beverages!

Not much of pictures taken but, this is me with the very owned apron :)



Starbucks promoting RED charity!











Back to the 'Starbucks' apron :)






Ciao Ciao people!

p/s: Personally, I miss the Green Tea Latte from MY, there's none here in UK :/

Happy Month-sary Darling! Miss you, tons....
