23 February, Saturday

Went to Sunset Lounge and Rao gave me chocolate ice-cream and two lava cakes hehehe

24 February, Sunday

And then he gave me guava juice and oreos.

Thalhath said that I was like a little sister to him, I'll never forget this


25 February, Monday

And I wrote down some personal information of the guest on this piece of paper and I lost it. I ended work at 1am but I stayed up until 3am because Thalhath wouldn't let me go unless I find that paper. We could have easily left a trace but he didn't like the idea. I love Zumbo because he saved my life when he found that paper.


26 February, Tuesday

The maid from room 224 (most expensive suite: 10k/night) gave me chocolates and chocolate milk! Free stuff is good stuff.

Went back to the room and had an argument with Y over my change in attitude towards him. Stoopid, as if you don't know why.


27 February, Wednesday

Gym followed by a heavy dinner, good job to me, good job.


28 February, Thursday

Last day of work, so Wendy (Ashfan) called me up to Reef Club to have pasta cooked by the chef! Finally some Italian food in my tummy

"Why didn't you look at the camera?!"
"It's nicer like when you don't look at the camera"

 Mezo called me to Bodu Huraa to choose what I want, to remember him by:

Impromptu decision to go to Male with Y. He gave me a bike ride. And of course I was awkward because I didn't know where to put my hands at first. Had chicken submarine for dinner! Then we went to the new Male, Hulhumale. He drove at 120 mph and it was honestly the best fun I had in so long. The adrenaline rush and uncertainty of getting hit by another vehicle, can't be put to words. Many times, I wanted to renact the scene from The Perks of Being a Wallflower where Logan Lerman puts out his hands and says, "... and in this moment, I swear we were infinite." But later he think I siao

So apparently his bike wasn't commonly found in Male because it's expensive. I mean he's so young and he already has such an expensive bike, ok can.

I guess today is the day where I quote: What happens in Maldives stays in Maldives. But a good way to start off the month of March.

On the way to Male
I know, so chio, must maintain

Munadh!! (Luggage Attendant + good friend)

Hulhumale!

Queue for bikes on the ferry

Went to the boys' room to have a surprise for Nafey

Apprentices hard at work @ 3am

HAHAHA they covered Nafey's side

Final product!

2 March, Saturday

Woke up in the morning for a jet-ski session! What's that, $350 for 15 mins? I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my free jet-ski ride.

Jailam gave me a mug that changes colour ^^
Shihad gave me a whale shark soft toy ^^
Nafey is freaking cute because I jokingly asked what he's going to give me, since I'm leaving. So he gave me one US dollars, but I declined. So I got him to buy Snickers instead. THEN THIS HUSSAIN ADAM TOOK IT FROM ME OMG.
Anwar gave me a vase ^^
Mezo gave me the bracelet and shark ^^

HEHEHE I'M A PRINCESS.

One of my besties, Ahmed (Recreation)

Went for snorkeling with Tiffany and Bob. Wasn't that good. I only saw one turtle, one Eagle Ray and one shark yawn.

Mubarik and Mezo had a mini barbecue for me at Bodu Huraa. Love them to bits.

I love everyone for sending me (and Tiffany off): Anwar, Ahmed, Bob, Jasmine, Cola.

Rushed to school for the briefing with Mr Fu and the other kids who went for the overseas internship. Didn't realise we spent 2 hours there. Saw ct!! But missed Shu.

Went to the slab to look for Jeremie and turns out that zq was working too. They said I was damn black :(

Impromptu meetup with Joreen, Khai and Ruiyang. $1 ice-cream, candy, telling them about the boy.

5 March, Tuesday

This was my first time getting rashes. Like ever. In my entire life.

Met up with CT for dinner at Bali Thai @ ION Orchard. The waitress was funny because at one point of time, she said to CT, "Don't play play ah." lololol

Wanted to fix my G-Shock watch @ Centerpoint but it would take 2 months sigh. Anyway she introduced me to Smoothie King and I had the green tea flavour and it was so good. Can't wait to try more more more

Went to Rockstar and saw shoes that we wanted to buy. And then these gluttons decide to have late night desserts @ Marche.

Berry Cake
Caramel + Bananas crepe

Chewy ^^

6 March, Wednesday

Papa Riche for breakfast with mom, grocery shopping.

Jeremie: Help me buy food at the foodcourt.
Me: Jeremie! Banquet is closed!
Jeremie: It has been closed for months!!!! Go downstairs la!

Walao I help him buy food then I get this kind of treatment. What is this!! Hahahah then HB and Jeremie persuaded me to join The Slab again. So whatever la, I gave in and I can't believe I did.

xie xie Jeremie

Cat nap then went to town for the video shoot with Khai and CT. From 9pm to 3am, I had sushi, BFF fries, 2.5 cookies (the size of Subway cookies), keylime pie and some chocolate cake) FAT FAT

7 March, Thursday

Oh Khai left at 3am because he was sick. Then his friend came and left too. So it was just me and CT. It was so boring. They better transfer that $42 to my bank.

2 hours of sleep, interview at the slab, early dinner and a hearty 3 hour chat with Miss Tan @ Social Sin. T___T my favourite manager used to call me Miss Tan omg I miss Jasmine la.

Swedish breakfast

Canadian breakfast

SUSHI 4 SUPPER

8 March, Friday

YAY KITTY! Didn't realise I spent the entire day with her. She passed me the souvenirs from Bangkok and Bali. The sense of achievement when I found the place: Little Pancakes @ Thomson Road.

All Day Breakfast

Peanut Butter + Bananas

We managed to walk past the famous laoban store. But we fell putty to Salted Caramel.

@ Salted Caramel

Went to town to buy movie tickets to Ah Boys to Men 2 and shopped around. She made me buy my first pair of Keds walao why like this.

I think chicky looks like a pwetty 7 year old here

9 March, Saturday
Met up with the boy @ the airport at 12am.

Only had 4 hours of sleep. Went for the Singapore Airlines interview with Kaiyi and Tiffany.

Breakfast at Old Town, worked with Jolene and Andrea and it was fun, singing black songs and all. Then G came with her boy.

Had one of the worse arguments with Jai and I think he blocked me from Facebook

Today
Spent 7 hours cleaning my room.

I only told my mom about the interview. AND SHE TOLD MY DAD. What the bloody hell. I know I wasn't cut out for it, but my dad made me sound LIKE. A. FAILURE.

Him: Why do you think you failed
Me: (oh piss off, you're clearly going to bring up one of my weaknesses) I don't know
Him: Just think. Why do you think you failed
Me: I don't know, why

And then my beloved father went on about how I wasn't confident enough. 1) YOU WEREN'T THERE. How would you know. 2) You don't know what these people look for. Even the nervous guy got in. I'm so freaking demoralised right now I hate it when people bring up my flaws.

I was totally fine about failing the interview. But it's a whole different story now. Did anyone even know that I really want it, very badly. No. I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid it would jinx my chances of getting it, or people would take it seriously and start comforting me if I failed it, making me feel worse about myself. So no one knew that I was serious about it. But I'm really fine about failing it because I was trying it out anyway, but my dad made me feel better about all of it now ^^v I'm going to drain you off your money in America (This is just irrational typing, because I am pissed off)


- My main worry is the whole university thing
- Ending things off with the boy (still pending)
- Dad owes $150, ky owes $50
- My second worry is how I'm going to go about with the scheduling of two different jobs

It's been one hell of a roller coaster here. Cliche but true.

Desires, mistakes (both personal and work related), drifting.

I'm sorry for doing what I did. But then again I'm not. "He is physically there, not emotionally there." From my point of view, we're nothing more than friends. People would say it's because we were really together for only 2 months. But are you trying to say that the process wasn't genuine as well?

8 days left before I depart and I'm having mixed feelings.

+

I get to reunite with my friends and family

-
It's so crowded, complicated and ugly in Singapore. People are so shallow and polluted, that it makes me want to cry just thinking about it.

Other than that, I like the fact that my room is fully air-conditioned, I don't need to take transport. Everything is so simple here. But I do know that I have to return. I avoided George ever since the new interns' arrival because technically, I was close to him and it might hurt to say goodbye if I still was. It has been extremely tough with my mistakes and all; forgetting buggy requests, not following up etc. But nothing, and I mean nothing beats the existence of 3 others in the room. I am a front line staff. I have to socialise every minute of my day at work and when I get back, I have to do the same?! I'm exhausted! And what do I get? "Sherina's always using her phone, and not socialising." Well piss off.

7th February, Thursday

Met Ridhwan in Male in the morning and had breakfast at the same place. Then we looked for souvenirs which was totally tiring.

Super good chicken submarine

17th February, Sunday

Went to the spa to get some bands with stones because I am a stone-whore, and Skyped with Miss Gladys.

The sky homaigod

My breakthrough!! I managed to answer the Netma question that the others couldn't answer ^^ My manager was like, "Guys!! She's a trainee and she knows!! She's a trainee!!!"

18th February, Monday

Gym + Skype session with the family. Watched Arrow with Y again.

Anwar called me down at 11pm when I was half-asleep. And then he had to go to work so Mezo accompanied me. I jokingly told him that I wanted pizza and he actually ordered it for me. It took 2 hours to come but Anwar took 2 hours to the end of his shift as well. So we slacked until like 2:30am omg and I had work at 7:30am.

19th February, Tuesday

Morning call from Mezo. And finally contacted my Liaison Officer, Thomas Lazzerine. Holy shit, M said that he loved me. And in my head, I was like, my boy doesn't even tell me this kind of things T_______T

I slept at 8:30pm I AM SUCH A WINNER!!!!

20th February, Wednesday
I was supposed to end at 4:30pm

4pm-5pm+: "Sherina! Go receive the guests at the jetty." 2 VIP boats and another boat from Landaa Giraavaru.

Supervisor: I want you to stay inside and do not come out of the office. We have to end our shift. Don't even take orders from the manager.

5pm-6pm+: Manager comes in and rushes me to do a check in. I wanted to tell her that I couldn't but I am too soft-hearted to say no. So it was a VVIP guest and they had so many unusual questions, comments and requests.

While doing the room orientation, my supervisor found me. And he was there throughout the whole thing. The guest was making a complaint and I was really tired and flooded with so many requests that I've already followed up on. So I didn't follow up on the last complaint and when I got back to the office...

"Why didn't you follow up?! You should have said this this this. What did the guests say? ... What?! Did you know that was a VVIP?! And they made you do the check in?! ... Did you even once tell the manager that I didn't let you out?! ... You know what! I wasn't here, I never heard what you said. You tell the manager all this." So he just left me with all these. I ended up ending work two hours later than usual. I held back my tears until I reached the room. And then the usual break down moment. I think it's my second time crying since I've been here so it's quite alright ah I guess hahahahaha

Argued with Y. I mean like I ended work at 6:50pm, I obviously have no time to catch the 7:00pm boat  to Male right omg. So he just deleted the TVD that he downloaded for me in the afternoon ugh.

21st February, Thursday

My supervisor treated me like a small kid by making me take down any request I get, on a piece of paper. Just because I keep making glitches because of my forgetfulness :(

Oh and Y downloaded TVD for me again hehehehehe yay

Today
Tried to avoid my roommates by hiding in the drinking room. But I couldn't. So we went to Bodu Huraa for a swim. Then I went to the gym. The guys were playing volleyball and I got pissed with Anwar and Mez cause they annoyed me when I was having my dinner there.
