PRODUCTIVE, BLISSFUL WEEKENDS



Last weekends were one of my most productive weekends that made me happy and glow for even days after. Let me jot it down here just so i will never forget.

On Saturday, my bff, Sarah came by for sleepover at my house here in KL to, you know, spend some time and see KL since we both are clearly not from KL. Haha. As you know, i'm from Rantau, Negeri Sembilan. And Sarah is from Puncak Alam. I was actually expecting her to come around 3pm but she managed to finish her business earlier so she was here around 1pm.

We first went to Publika and Sunway Putra Mall to eat and buy some things. And since we had more free time than we planned, plus we already booked tickets for Ralph Breaks the Internet movie at 9.30pm in KLCC. To kill time, we decided to go to Muzium Negara and Jalan TAR as well. Haha so random. And the most epic moment was when we arrived at KLCC. We were at the the ground floor and everybody was looking at the higher floor from below, and we both were like, what's up there? We saw totally nothing. K what's wrong with these people? Hahaha.

There were even security guards asking everybody to move and not stopping at that area. We were clueless like crazy and so Sarah checked her Twitter since we all know that news on Twitter spread faster than the wildfire. I already get rid of Twitter for months so i can't do the checking. Come out that there was actually someone who was trying to commit suicide and jump from the highest floor of the building. It means that the many people were looking at him (some were recording video) and maybe waiting for him to jump. But thank God, the man was saved by the firefighters and the suicide case didn't happened. I truly can't imagined if he really jumped and his dead body was on floor with bloods and fractured bones and all. Omg. May Allah bless that guy!

Btw, Ralph Breaks the Internet was super cute. Especially the part when Vanellope was singing about the Slaughter Race that made her an official Disney's princess. It melts my heart like crazy. You guys should really go and watch it. I promise it won't disappoint any of you.

After the movie, before we went home, Sarah and i went to Family Mart since Sarah never really had the chance before to have a taste of the famous Oden. Even when we already had our dinner at 4 Fingers, KLCC. Lol. But it was a great time though. I don't remember the last time we spent a day together like this. I also have no idea when is the next time will be.

On Sunday, we had our semi-annual birthday lunch at Flora Terrace, KL. Sarah found this place online like no other. We even bought unicorn cake for the birthday girls. I'm so glad that i found the cute, delicious unicorn cake on Instagram with such a good price. The unicorn cake fits the restaurant theme so well. We had a very good time and everybody was so happy. Like, what else really matter than the happy faces right?

During the night, i spent my time with my another best friend of mine, Ainul Fariha at Nexus Bangsar South. She was actually had to work in KL on Monday. And since she's from Malacca, so her company rented a nice, big hotel room only for her alone. So she invited me over to update to each other about our lives and for me to accompany her as well. It's nice actually to only spend time at the hotel, doing nothing and only talking to each other. Because, we tend to share more about everything compared to when we go here and there.

I supposed to have another job interview on Monday morning at Kota Damansara. However, on Sunday night when i was spending my time with Ainul, suddenly i got a text message from Starbucks manager, asking me whether i'm still searching for a job or not. I said yes because yeah, i'm still jobless. She invited me over to Starbucks Plaza Damas (Hartamas) for the details. I told her about my condition as a student which i need to have days off to go to the campus. And providentially, unlike other companies that rejected me because of it, she said that Starbucks is very okay with that condition. I cancelled my plan to go to the interview at Kota Damansara. I gambled it hard praying that i will get this part time Barista job at Starbucks. And Alhamdulillah, i straightly got the job during the interview. And i already started to work at Starbucks yesterday. It is a fun job tbh. I can't wait to learn on how to make the variety of coffee with such flavors. Little did i know that if we want to be a Starbucks Barista, we have to attend a class. The training itself takes two weeks and we even have books to study. Wow #TIL

Knowing myself, i really love working and learning at the same time which i know that i will not just wasting my time doing part time job at such company. And i did learnt something right away during the interview which, typhoid vaccination is compulsory for all F&B handlers in Malaysia. Tbh, i never know about this at all before. Lol. And yeah, i took the injection yesterday at DBKL, Cheras.

So, i will work with Starbucks until end of February 2019. Because the minimum period to work there is 3 months. I think it's good for me since i will finish my Master's Degree on January 2019. So i will assume my working at Starbucks until February is actually a good break for me before i'm back browsing for more relevant jobs for myself. Plus working at Starbucks didn't affect my dissertation and campus schedule at all. Which is great. I feel so relieved because i've been unemployed for the last 21 days and now, i'm back being someone who is not jobless. Hahaha. May Allah ease!
