Freaky Friday!!! Horrible....................

Friday had always been my most favorite day of the week, but apparently, after a terrible experience I had yesterday (Friday obviously), I'm not keen towards Friday anymore. Instead, I like Mondays now....at least I have no theatre stuff on Monday nights due to FHE.

I'm going to number my horrible schedule, events, and experiences, which makes it easier to read:

1. I had to work at Freschetta at 9am on Friday morning from now onwards. I added this shift to increase my income (Justin and my income). It was hard for me to wake up yesterday morning because I only finished my paper at 3am. I was falling asleep everytime I tried to type a new sentence and I ended up finishing it at 3am. I wasn't able to start working on my paper until midnight because I only got home by 11 something due to OKLAHOMA! musical. Then, I saw the new sheet of crew supervisors list on the Teriyaki Stix wall and I saw Justin Chia being the new CS for my Wed shift (to replace Keshia who dropped her shift). Okay, to be honest, I'm very unhappy because Justin has never worked at TS before and how come he jumped up to CS immediately. I know he's my husband, but it just doesn't make sense. If he's being chosen to be the CS at Scoreboard, I'll be so happy for him, but not at TS! So in the end, I have to teach him how to make the food, but then I'm not even CS myself, how am I suppose to teach him CS skills. Anyway, I know our asst. mgr favors him, but not this way....it makes me feel that I'm a terrible worker.

2. As it was my first time working my shift in Freschetta, I forgot to cut the pizzas and I just hurriedly placed them in the boxes and into the warmer. When I realized my mistake, I took all of them out and cut them one by one. I finished by 11:50am and rushed to my class at noon.

3. Luckily, when I arrived in class, my teachers were talking so I had time to cool myself down (after running up to the 5th floor in HFAC). I was panting and sweating. Working at Pizza place is pretty hot...Then I quickly read my paper that I finished at 3am to see if I'm writing any sense. Of course, I didn't. I was hoping that my prof. wouldn't call my name to answer the 1st 2 questions so I tried to put my head down and rewrite some of my non-sensible sentences (or sleepy thoughts) in pencil. As a result, my whole paper was full of pencil writing and I even wrote a special note to my TA about what happened last night. I was glad that I wasn't being called by my prof. for the 1st 2 questions (she always loves to call me whenever I'm quiet in class). However, due to my intelligent brain, I volunteered to answer question 3 (to prevent her from aiming me again) and she was like "GREAT POINT" and I realized after all, all the points and ideas shared by my fellow classmates were just crap and nonsense and all the time, my prof. just replied them "Cool/Interesting point" whereas she always says "GREAT POINT" to me, hahahaha! Ang moh love to talk cock lah..

4. By the end of the class, I went to work at Teriyaki Stix. Usually, Fridays are very slow in line and I was pretty bored the whole time. Luckily Pasi was there to play music for us, to keep me awake at least (I called her Pasi, DJ in the house cos she always brings her boombox and collection of cds to work). Seriously, I was going to fall asleep any minute.

5. Yeah, Shannon came early to work and I could leave Teriyaki Stix. I tried to nap in the Cougareat for 10 minutes, but the noise wouldn't allow me to rest more so I decided to buy a burger. I saw Rachel and Angela and they started telling my Bobby Yen's backout from the Asian Fest performance and how Nat wasn't very concerned about it...which i felt so bad for them. Then, we went to the Singapore booth to help out. Obviously, I didn't have the mood to help because first, I was very very tired and second, everybody kept asking me where's Justin, and finally, I needed to keep track of my time to go for my Oklahoma's thing again. The whole time, I was trying hard to talk to the Singaporeans, to make myself feel better, but I just felt empty inside me. Nobody noticed that I was very upset that I couldn't be there to watch my husband to perform.

6. When I'm up there in the light booth at the theatre, I felt so depressed that I started talking to my other spot light friend over the other side through headsets. She knew how i felt and tried to encourage me. We then started chit chatting over the phone and I found out that she loves to play mahjong...wah...next time I'll invite her to my house to play...She's an American caucasian btw...haha..interesting huh? She calls the "tong" cookies..haha!

7. At the end of the show, we both went to WILK to check out the dance while waiting for Justin to come pick me up. He was not at the dance, but at his friend's house. He told me everybody has left because they were playing country music, but when i got there, it was hiphop and then one of the Singaporeans came out. I talked to this person and asked why are they still here because justin told me they had left cos of country music. This person replied: "Nah...we are dancing..it's top 40s! We'll only leave after the dance. Oh, btw, Justin did a very good job." And then I started seeing everybody telling me how good and funny Justin was. Okay, here's the point, it didn't make me feel any better. I mean I'm proud of him, but the truth is I WASN'T THERE TO WATCH HIM AND I REALLY HOPE I COULD AND I WAS FEELING SO UPSET ABOUT IT ALREADY.....!!!"

8. SO HERE'S THE WORST PART of my Friday: After this person telling me that Justin was great and I felt so sad about it that I told this person honestly that I felt really bad and sad that I couldn't be there. Guess what this person replied?
Singaporean: "Oh, don't worry lah, just let the younger generation do it lor, anyway, we have talented people also what like Jaylin who can dance. " !!!!!!!! I was so shocked to hear this...right in my face!!!
I argued back: "Well, so you are trying to say I'm the old generation lah? What's the difference between you and me? We are both the same age! "
Singaporean (paiseh, with the head looking down): "Er...aiyah..but you are married, and I'M NOT!" (Then this person left.....)

URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........I stood there, in shock...almost burst into tears... That's not what I meant...I was trying to say I'm very very sad that I couldn't be there to watch and support them and esp. my husband.....................................!!!!

I went to the other side at Jamba Juice with my ang moh friend and I started crying................she began to encourage me, hug me and stuff.....then finally Justin came to pick us.

After dropping my friend off, I told Justin everything while bursting in tears... He told me that this person is always very insensitive in his language..i knew that..but how could he say this kind of thing to me? Even though I'm graduating, I could still be part of the performance right? I always love to coordinate and chereograph dance, if you don't want me, tell me straight in the face, freaking idiot!!!!!!!!!!!

That was why we were both late at IHOP..................Even till now, I still feel upset with his words...I felt so left out now.............from the Singaporeans.............. Is there something wrong with me or what??? :(
