why

I feel weird.
I couldn't concentrate on what I was supposed to do.
Keep losing focus at work.
Sometimes, it feels like being nice to others has yourself being taken advantage of.
Their oversight become my mistakes.
They thought I was wrong when I told them that the I have written the main thing in black and white.
Can't they read?
They read the thing yet they didn't understood the basic form of alphabets there?
Or they just know how to have fun and thinking that they are way better than what they thought they were?
And thinking that I am the one who made the mistake and it wasn't them.
Please have the basic respect of apologising.
And by the way, I hate accusation.
Argh.

Please keep everything you have to yourself.
I don't need any of those attention.
I'm not here to have you people screwing my life.
Thank you.

No anticipate = no expectation.
Thus, leading to minimal disappointment.
Though things ain't bad but it is still a long way till the end.

If there was some form of assurance.

Been in Orlando a few weeks

I have been at Disney a few weeks.
There are a few interesting happening.

Been spending alot of money on food here.
The Walmart, Asian Market, Publix and sometimes the eating out.
I'm really lucky to stay with 4 course mates.
They are really nice people, making an effort to make it as homely as possible. =)
We have been cooking pretty frequent as the food here are really expensive and unhealthy too.

My job has been fine too. The weather can get really sunny and windy when I'm working as a greeter fro Spaceship Earth. My colleagues are pretty friendly and nice. I managed to work with people my age which makes working much more fun.
I'm learning Spanish at the moment! I feels that it is a sexy language and many people here speak Spanish, thus learning it makes my work assisting them easier. =)

It is inevitable for this.
I miss my family.
I miss being pampered.
I miss mum's cooking.
Here, I am afraid I didn't have any food to eat as it isn't as convenient as driving down or walking down to the places near home.
I have to do my own laundry.
I have to take care of myself.
*Praying that she will get well and able to discharge from the hospital.*

Eating home cooked food.

I cooked dinner yesterday!

And today, Sarah, Sean, Yen Ju cooked.
But there were like Sarah, Sean, Yen Ju, Rou Bing, Woan Tyng, Benjamin and I were having dinner together.
Though it was like less than 2 weeks we had dinner together but it feel so long. =(
We had fun! Eating the pretty good food together plus the gossiping and complaining to do!

Oh ya. I think I spent a lot here. That day I went to buy my facial products (bath & body works), I bought a top (wet seal), moisturizer and body foam (crabtree and evenlyn). Then I had bear papa and mango drink (spent like 6usd), lunch I had pizza and salad (8usd) and the bus rides was like almost 10usd. Grrr.
That day I went to polo to buy some stuffs as there were additional discount. =x
But only the shirts and black polo tee are mine. The rest aren't. I just help people buy and I'm broke! =(

I passed my assessment!

I have been doing my training over at Spaceship Earth, Epcot last week and I had my assessment on Sunday. On Sunday, I woke up an hour late! I was 15 minutes late. But luckily my examiner is Gary, a very nice colleague. =)

I was assessed on whether I can do the tasks in the attraction, a test and an interview with the manager.
When I was performing the tasks, there were some hiccups but nothing big happened.
But when I was done with my assessment paper, Gary went through the paper to grade it.
I saw him drawing many question marks on my paper and I was confused. I cannot believe that I made so much mistake even though I didn't check through my answers. Then, I realised that my answers are correct! Just that the answer sheet is wrong!
Hahas. I only seen the paper once before my assessment, and I managed to score 75 out of 78!

And, I passed my assessment!
So I'm officially a cast member of Disney that no longer a trainee.

Yesterday, working alone is scary. It was like you were "chained" for a while and once it was removed, you are a little lost of what you should do.
Something happened. Instructions were not given clearly, the followers obeyed blindly and ended up a futile effort made.

I hereby announced where will I be working at Disney:

I saw this bird crossing the road near my complex during the short lunch break we have during the orientation.
Heading down to Disney Downtown.
While we were searching for food, I saw this 7eleven petrol station. I didn't know they are such a diversified company!
This is the place where they served fantastic seafood! The bill is like 177usd plus. But each and everyone of us enjoyed the dinner! We even met a disney cast member there and she offer to drive us out of disney to the Asian market, hair salon or what if we need to becuase her previous room-mate was from Singapore and she enjoyed her company! Way to go!

After Dinner, we went to Premium Outlet. So many branded stuffs on discount.
OMG.
In life, don't read too much.
Think less.
Bother less.
Expect less.
Happier.

Arrived in Orlando.

The intership has a tour over at Washington for a few days with the Dr Becker, the liasion officer over here for us. He has been a really good teacher and guide to compromise the plans we want and do his best in satisfying us and at the same time put our best interest at heart. However, we won't be seeing him till May. I'll miss him. He is really a wonderful, understanding and caring person.
Today, we started our Disney orientation program. We were briefed on the basic ground rules.
It started since morning 8.45am to 2pm. After that, we went back to our apartment to take a break. We tried washing our stuffs. =X. 60mins to dry. Lucky the laundry is just next to us.
We went Wal-mart today and buy our stuffs! I finally get my pillow and my blanket. Last night was really cold, I wore long sleeves plus my jacket to sleep. We bought food and essential stuffs, bring them pack home and we have a cook over at my house gathering. =D
The food was fine. Yen Ju cooked noodles (from sg) to go with Pei Rong's sambal chilli(from sg) or go with my miso soup(from sg). Then Wan Tyng and Jo brought their popcorn(Wal-mart), many of the left over food from her previous room mates over. Rou Bing contributed her buffalo wings, Sarah and Pei Rong wipped up eggs and sausage, and the guys brought over their bacon and sausages to cook.


For dessert, I shared my 10usd strawberries with them. Hahas.. I didn't even know how much it cost but I bought it becuase I want to eat it. =D Not that good though. Korean strawberries taste so much better! Wan Tyng bought chocolate pudding too. =)
Richard, Jasmine, Sean and I did some cleaning out here and there and with everyone else doing a little here and there. some did cooking before hand too.
Everyone is quite involve with the meal. Contributing food and effort! Good!

Mum called me today! =D I miss her and she keep asking me to take care.. I miss her. Love her

taking note.

This will be the last day I'm at Washington and we will be flying to Orlando tomorrow.
Today was a pretty good tour.
We went to Hampton University today. We were given talks about being in attachment in Disney, the modules we will be taking and how we can do for our touring around states after our attachment ends.
The campus is pretty. Really pretty.
We met some of their students and they are very nice and friendly.
Bought some souvenirs from the university book store. =D
After the tour, we went to AT&T and have our prepaid card. It works!
So if anyone wants my number, let me know. =)

For pictures, see them in facebook? Because it isn't very easy to upload all the photos. =X

For dinner, we went to a Thai restaurant and had pretty good food. We even met the former secretary of states. He is a humorous and wonderful man. =)
Back to the hotel, everyone is so tired!
Yet, we have to pack up all our stuffs to go to Orlando already.
