First Day of Work at Starbucks

17th April I went to Starbucks for a walk-in interview. The next morning, got a wake up call from the manager there telling I got hired for barista position. Jumped out of bed and did some victory dance moves, twerk a little here and there lol..texted Mr. Yusri from Pallet Cafe right away, agreed on the working hours. 4-5 hours later he replied 'Welcome to the family!' I got hired twice in one day!

I know I was being really greedy there..but why not having two part time jobs at a time? I'm not sure if I can actually do both since Starbucks don't really provide fixed working shifts for staffs but hey I'm gonna try and plan this out.

So at 11 a.m. I went to Starbucks. Wearing black-jeweled flats, nude Mango blouse and Forever 21 black skinny jeans. While the manager, Mr. Radi actually told me to come with black shoes, black pants and black/white collared shirt...but umm at least I wore the closest to the outfits criteria. I blame on being an art student who don't really follow the regulations and rules!

Mr. Radi briefed me about working at Starbucks, what are the vision and roles, stuffs like that. Then we had coffee tasting. He asked me to describe the aroma and taste. Like WOW. In my head I was like...'oh  okay I see it's getting a lil bit though right hereee'. I just went with it although I know nothing about coffee.. 'Hmm. It smells like herbs?' He said 'Herbs?Yes..very good' Awe I was pumped up with the compliment and I just rant on likee..'it's definitely has bits of chocolate mixed in..and it's very strong bla bla bla anything I could make up of'

After the briefing and coffee tasting was done, he was like 'Ok I think that's all for today. When do you think you can start working?'..Umm I thought today is the day?..No today is just the introductory..Can't I work today though? I mean, I'm already here and I have nothing to do...OK but your shoes are not right, it is supposed to be fully covered shoes...What if I go and buy the appropriate shoes right now, do I get to work today?...He smirked. It's up to you Khayrin..OK I go to Bata now and buy the right shoes..and he was like OKAY.

I went to Bata but oh shit, they don't have my size since I have giant feet. Called my mom and she brought my old pair of black Converse, well that would do. Wore it and went back to Starbucks. Mr. Radi said it is still not the right one but should be okay just for today.

So I started my shift right away at 12 p.m. Starbucks drained every bit of me. It is only the first day but in 6 hours time, I've done uncountable of buzzing (cleaning tables and arranging chairs), mopping the floor twice, dishes everytime after buzzing, stock up ice box twice, - not to mention I had to crush it first, labeling, mix ingredients and throwing out garbage.

The staffs are hella funny hella nice. They all checking up on me and making convos, teaching me stuffs and all. Thiana was so nice, just now we had to put choclate chips in a container and I was like 'Can I taste some?' She was like nawwww saying CCTV is everywhere to catch us red handed lol but then she dragged me to the kitchen and pour like 4 chip chocolates into my hands. OMG I was so touched, really. Not that I want to actually eat it, I just wanna have a taste hihiks. Then we had second coffee tasting and it was so good Ijust can't stop sipping like a baby...

Oh during break time, I went to French Kisses Cafe upstairs to meet Hidayah, a worker there that I made friend with the last time I went there. I totally surprised her because I didn't inform her earlier that I got a job at Starbucks, Today is just so good, just so GOODDD

Job Hunting

I finished my last paper on 14th April...yep hooray to semester break for 7 weeks! So I spent the next two days at home, doing NOTHING. Not even a movie marathon. I were basically just playing with my phone, eat, sleep and waiting text from a guy who will never text me. During the 48 hours, I felt so useless and FAT. In my head I was like 'NO WAY! Khayrin, this is not how you're going to live.' I quickly texted my friend right after.. 'Isma, let's go for a job hunting tomorrow.' She agreed and picked me up at my house the next morning.

17th April is the day we went for JOB HUNTING. We first went to Pallet Cafe at Lagenda Heights. We both were originally aiming for that cafe because it is new and assuming they might need more staffs. Plus, we want our job area to be at Lagenda, main reason is we don't like crowded places. Walked in and like, 'Omgoshhh..Isma, I'm in love with this place! Look at the enviroment...multiracial workers, beautiful interior design, mostly Chinese customers (I prefer non Malays customers because I feel like I don't being watched - ya know), nice manager and the 'family' term used among the staffs. And Isma was like 'I knowwwww'. The manager named Yusri interviewed us. Isma and I tried to lie though..by not admitting we are university students on semester break, afraid he won't hire us. But, we are such GOOD GIRLS and the fact that we don't know how to lie, we eventually came clean. Yusri said if we agree with the working hours of 6 p.m. - 12/1 a.m. He will be sure to hire us. 1000x smiley faces.

But then, Isma and I got so demanding we survey other places around the area as well. Next, we went to Skin & Co but the person there didn't really wanna hire anyone so she just asked us to leave our details there and will call us if she needs workers. We also went to Levi's but they're not hiring. Then we went to Edo Ichi, the manager interviewed us but he said he would call back within 3 days, since he has so many applicants waiting for hiring - did not see our chances there. Our last stop is Starbucks. This is one memorable walked-in interview we both ever had. The manager there interviewed us in a very formal way, asking serious questions and stuff. Full English. This time, Isma and I decided to lie because we wanted to be hired as full time worker. We said that we're not studying and not planning on furthering studies at the moment LMAO

At last, we went to Blackwood Cafe but then the office is not open for that day. So hungry and tired we settled at Subway and I had my sandwich and Chatime Pearl Milk Tea.

I SERIOUSLYY

consider vlogging. Like yeah as if I'm attractive enough, or smart enough to talk something beneficial and informative for 15 minutes straight.

But yeah

In all seriousness, I do consider vlogging. Maybe one day

Write Again

So hey, I already turned 19 about twenty days ago. I guess my writing would be more mature now, with lots of grammar mistake. Honestly, being a student in all-Malay university doesn't help much with your English.

I haven't write for about a year now. What happened during those times? Well, I basically destroyed my heart and relive it again over and over. I have abused my heart. I am now taking a break. Not sure it's a 2 months break, 2 weeks break or 2 hours break. But I know I need to mend it a little.

I know I'm unlovable and every males are so unattainable to me.

Love is uncontrollable. You can't help from catching feelings neither making someone falls in love with you.

But one thing, YOU DESERVE THE LOVE YOU WOULD GIVE

Bottom line is, I'm 19 years old and I never found a guy who can loves me for a solid second. I couldn't find a guy who would try when I'm not trying. I couldn't find a guy who would stay after I've made a mistake. NO GUY EVER

I'M UNLOVABLE

I'M UNLOVABLE

One thing that can heal a little is jumping off a cliff at night under full moon and still survives. - hell yeah you are allow to LOL at this statement
