27th june - bunsen peak and osprey falls in mammoth

Yeah, Baobao, jia yen, terrence and I joined the employee trip. The lady (rachel) who drove us is the staff from grant village. Four of us and 8 other grant village employees headed to mammoth by van.

This trip is a hiking trip to Bunsen peak in Mammoth. It was super damn tiring lorrr...and scary...especially the Osprey falls trail, it was really steep. Me and baobao nearly died on the way lol. However, we had a lot of fun there. We met an uncle called Bob. He chatted with us in the old faithful inn lobby yesterday morning while we were waiting for the circle of fire tour. What a coincidence! We met on the way to osprey falls. Then he hiked together with us and became our guide in this trip. He was really geng lor. He is a pharmacist, 55 yrs old, and he came to yellowstone for 15 times already. He said this is the fourth time he hike to osprey falls. Wow so strong, and he even talked phone loudly while we were walking on the super steep trail. We saw two rainbows in the osprey falls, and we were very near to the falls that all of us got wet along the trail. The trail was quite dangerous. I couldn't stop imagine that I will die along the trail. Phew, luckily i survived in the end.

It was such a long journey to go back to the parking lot. Baobao walked till face white white, and I'm not better than her too. I had a lot of raspberry horn stuck in my fingers, and my leg was really super tired. And everyone was so thirsty because we didn't have enough water. However, it is worth to join this trip as we had taken a lot of beautiful photos and videos...hohoho...thanks to terrence. Hmm...but i couldn't upload photos to facebook recently...lousy network in laurel dorm :<

28th

Met Dejan in EDR. He work dinner shift yesterday night. That was his first day as a real server assistant. Finally he ended his trainee life. But, poor dejan shared bus stand with the legendary barbie doll, Oleksandra (jia yen's favourite). He said it was sucks. LOL~ I mentioned this girl in my previous post. She is pretty, and look like barbie. But the thing is, u will vomit blood if u work with her. (except jiayen :p) Dejan told us that "she is pretty, but stupid". Haiz poor him, first dinner shift spoilt. But that's life. lol

Today i worked for anthony again. Good ^_^. Baobao worked for jennifer, she said jennifer became very good already wor...kept clearing the plates for her, and even bus table for her. However, I still don't wish to work for her because i've had serious trauma last time :p. What baobao told me couldn't change my impression to her.

Tomorrow we are going to dining room to have lunch. We are going to celebrate the leaving of legendary SA no.1 - Lin from china. Hohoho very bad right? I guess rachel and kai lun will be very happy about that. Why? because Lin is their "best friend"!!! Kai lun quarrelled with her for many times during working lol. Her attitude is really annoying that all of us dislike her very much. She always walk with a funny pose and refuse to carry big trays. Then she will use the small tray to carry as many things as she can. For example, she will sink the coffee cups in the water glasses just to avoid using her shoulders to carry big trays. LOL~ her walking pose is really funny that she make me couldn't stop laughing when i see her. She is very dirty too. Always mix the kichen towel and napkins together in the bus stand. And put the sanitizer everywhere. I told her that it is dirty...and she replied me, " don't u think that it is more convenient?" =.= tak boleh tahan her...luckily she is leaving tmr...hohoho

Ops...back to our lunch topic. Yeah finally i can try the buffalo wings tmr. Yummy yummy. Next week before Faith leave yellowstone, we will have dinner in dining room too. Hmm...can't believe i'm going to leave too. Three more weeks wow~

24th

Make a new friend today. His name is Dejan, but the pronunciation is "Dae Yan". He is a super funny guy. I've learned a lot of italian language from him lol. After breakfast and lunch shifts today, i went hiking with baobao and faith. We went to morning glory again. The scenery was totally different with last time. I remember when we first came here, it snowed all along the trail. But now? It's summer!!! Wohoo~~ no more snow mountain, and flowers growing everywhere.

When we walked back to our dorm, we met Taina ( Finland ) and Dejan. Ops forgot to introduce Dejan, he comes from a country which is near to italy. It is so difficult to remember the country name, but he said his country is in chicken shape...so i called it "chicken country" lol. He treated us M&M and Haagen Daaz ice cream. We bought a bucket of cookies and cream flavour and enjoy it in our room. It was so happy when we chit chatting about our "best friends". Hahaha...do u know what we mean by "best friend"? Hmm...for example, jennifer is my "best friend"; Lin is rachel's "best friend"; johnny is baobao's "best friend"...got it? ok i will explain..."best friend" means the person we hate the most in our working place...hahaha....Dejan was so funny that he made us kept laughing all the night.

25th

Breakfast shift today. Anthony was so good to me that he carried all the big trays for me...hohoho...but it ended up with a little tips. Baobao was with Joe. He always say me and baobao are his daughters...lol...and he said we are like twins =.= Totally different face lo...i dunno why they always mistake both of us.

After dinner, me and baobao decided to go biscuit basin for a picnic. Jiayen very lazy, he didn't want to hike anymore. So both of us grabbed the packed lunch from EDR(employee dining room) and headed to biscuit basin. Wahhh we walked very fast lor, just took about 45 minutes to reach there. And then we saw the signboard written "1 mile to mystic falls". We decided to have picnic there. Wow only took about 15-20 minutes to mystic falls. However, there were so many mosquitoes buzzing around us. It was just too horrible until we cannot tahan. We ran back to biscuit basin but things didn't get better. Finally we gave up and walked back to old faithful.

When we walked on the geyser trail, we found that the mosquitoes gone. Probably because the geyser is too hot lol...We chose one of the bench and had our picnic there. We were so enjoyed that we had snacks in the packed lunch while watching the beautiful sunset. Suddenly, the plume geyser beside us erupted. Wow that really startled us lor....it erupted for 5 times. We didn't expect the eruption because it really depends on our luck to see some of them to erupt. Both of us think that we are so so so lucky~~~

26th

Today we accompanied jiayen to go for "circle of fire" tour again. Hohoho finally we can join the tour again. Same bus driver, same places to visit...but we had a lot of fun too. Each of us bought 3 very nice and cheap photo frame from the general store in canyon village.We met two taiwan guys who started their job here two days ago. Then me and baobao got a lot of big big plan again. Hahaha...our big plan really geng. Initially we planned to go mammoth for horseback riding these two days. However it failed because of accomodation and money problem. We couldn't stay in the dorm because it is full. And if we wanna stay in the hotel, it will cost us a lot of money. We thought of camping there, but we were told that we have to get a permit to camp. And the transportation problem also made us very headache, so finally we cancelled it.

However, after the "circle of fire" tour, we came up with a lot of big plans. We thought of rowing boat in grant village and had our horseback riding in canyon village. Hahahaha but these are just planning lar...we don't know if out plans work or not because transportation is too inconvenient. But we will try our best to do these before we leave here...wahahahahaha~~~ Wish us luck la!

20th june

Grand Teton National Park!!! My dream place...wohooo~~

Today morning at 7.30am, we headed to grand teton. It was so excited!!! Our first stop is Swan lake. We took a little hike into the jungle and met visitors doing horseback riding there. Ahhh make me want it so bad to ride a horse!!! The swan lake was nice. We took a lot of panaromic photos hohoho~

After swan lake, we headed to signal mountain to watched jackson hole on top of the mountain. Wahhhhh the snow mountains was just soooooo sooooo sooooooo beautiful. Great scenery! It was really amazing to view the superb scenery. I love the reflexion of snow mountain in the water sooooooooo much~~~

Then we went to jenny lake. We hiked 1.7 miles along the mountains to the hidden falls. Wah wah wah it was super fantastic!!! So cool to be there. We even took boat to go back to the east deck of jenny lake. lol

The conclusion for this trip is : SUPER GREAT!!!!! I love grand teton so much that i wish i could have chance to go there again ^_^

17th-18th May

Today is our first day to work as dish washers. At first me and baobao kept playing and laughing, but when the dinner peak hours reached, we worked like dog...really busy like prawn lorrr =.=

Kitchen crew are so pity. This kind of job is really disgusting and tiring. A lot more tiring than server assistant. Our hand never stop working until midnight. Baobao didn't change the gloves. This results in allergic and her hand was like an old lady. I helped her to wrapped her fingers with plasters before she went to bed.

Then the next day, we worked breakfast shift. Oh yeah i work for natasha and jonathan...both of them are good servers. Recently i keep working for jonathan. He treats me so good. Carry almost all the big trays for me, and play with me too. Then today i told him about his "matrix" leather jacket. He was so embarassed when i told him " u know what? we always talk about u...." hahahahahaha...he said he loves leather...but too bad summer is coming and we will never see him in his leather coat again...lol

When we nearly finished working, baobao came to me and cried. Haiz poor baobao...This is the story. We felt like the dish job was too tough and tiring, so we decided not to work as dish washers anymore. We wanted to tell the managers. Baobao's section cut earlier today, so she finished her job earlier and went to find the manager. The stupid manager (jessica) said she cannot refused to work as dish washers unless she got medical proof from doctor. @$#%&! Baobao's ten fingers already wrapped with plasters ler...she showed the stupid jessica her hand but she just ignored her. What kind of manager she is!!! So damn inconsiderate...pls help me to curse her...wish her get fired soon!!!

Baobao was so sad...so i must help her. I went to look at the schedule...and bling! A light bulb pop up in my mind. I saw the new server assistants(me and baobao trained them before) who come from south america work breakfast on that day, and baobao's dish schedule is 430pm to close. What i have to do is to find one of them and ask them to work for baobao on that day. And very luckily, i got Pedro! Yeah finally i solved the problem for her. She stopped crying immediately when i told her the news lol. After that we had lunch together with rachel,terrence and dawn them. Terrence introduced two new friends who come from taiwan to us.

We went to general store to buy ice cream again. Ohhhh man my Haagen Daaz~~~ Last time we had chocolate chips with red wine. So today we tried cookies chips with white wine, plus another brand huckleberry ice cream. Wow it was nice. Then we chitchatting until night.

Tommorrow and friday will be our off day! We will go to try our luck for "circle of fire" tour and friday three of us will go to grand teton ^_^

13th-14th june

13/06

Baobao, jiayen and i went hiking to lonestar geyser. Th 2.6 miles distance took us about two hours to reach because the mountain we hiked was full of snow =.= It was so damn tiring.

14/06

Our shopping trip to bozeman. There were 7 of us - me, baobao, jiayen, faith, dawn, rachel and sze ying. When we first reached bozeman, we went to Walmart. It is a very cheap supermarket in USA. We had only 1.5 hours to shop. After that we went to a shopping mall. Shit, half an hour to shop GAP, Nike, Adidas and Old Navy. That made us just grabbed the things and buy. No time to go to the fitting room. And then, we went to Target shopping mall. I bought worm's sony camera there while baobao bought nikon brand one. And i bought my Roxy sweater in the shopping mall opposite to Target. Wah wah wah, i spent USD360++ for shopping today. Heartache @.@

At night, we went to dining room for dessert again to celebrate jenean's birthday. The very nice manager + server ( Kevin O) served us. He is a funny guy. He looks like an asian too. So we had much fun chit chatting and playing.

After that we back to dorm to unpack our shopping stuffs and took photos of them. Luckily all the clothes i bought are fitted to my size...lol

Btw, go to read jiayen's blog - http://jiayen87.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!6A71E94C2F407BB1!704.entry

7th-8th June

7th june

Today is saturday!!!

Baobao, faith and I went to register for the mammoth and grand teton hiking trip in recreation hall. We were the first to register...yeah!!! Finally, me, baobao, jiayen, faith, rachel, terrence, dawn and louis can travel together. Wohoooo~~~

On the way we back to our dorm, it snowed heavily. Luckily i've prepared well. I wore a set of long jones, a t-shirt, two sweaters and trousers. Hahahahaha....but my face still very cold...it was freezingly cold. We walked and walked and walked back to our dorm. By the time we reached, three of us became "snowgirls". Trust me, I'm not exagerating. My hair, my black sweaters and trousers became white color =.=

Tonight i worked dinner. I was so sad when i saw the arrangement of server and server assistant because i'll work for the disgusting fatty jennifer again. She is the main reason why that day i cried. I saw avril (one of the manager) in the office. I told her before...that i don't wanna work for jennifer anymore. So i went into the office and told her again. Oh then i realized Marcia (another manager) on dinner shift that night. She like me very much. Always smile to me and hug me. They said she is my mum...lol. Avril asked me to tell marcia, and i did it. Oh yeah she swopped me with another SA...and unfortunately...that SA is baobao.

I felt so sorry to baobao. Luckily both of us had to train new SA. And we had nearby sections. So i still can help her. My trainee called Kate. She is a pretty girl from Russia. She is super nice and helpful compared to my ex-trainees (oleksandra and lin) who come from ukrainee and china. Jiayen like the oleksandra very much coz she very pretty and look like a barbie doll. However, she made me almost vomit blood when i trained her. And for lin, most of us don't like her because she is very selfish and only care about money. My servers, Amanda and Alicia treated me quite good tonight. So I didn't feel tired at all.

There was a table of a couple. The husband said i look like a highschool girl when i told him that i'm 20 yrs old. He also asked me if baobao is my sister. He said both of us look alike. I told him that we are totally different. The only similar things between us is that we have the same height....hahahahaha!!!

But then another person mistaken us again. It was the stupid jennifer. She mistaken me as baobao and asked me to serve her customers drinks and bread. I didn't refuse to help her because i felt guilty to baobao :p. After that baobao suddenly appeared in front of her and she was just very confused when she looked at baobao...lol.

Then there was a table of customers who chatted with me when i was pouring water for them. I told them that i will travel to other state of usa after my job. As usual, i told them where and when will i travel...and bla bla bla...they said i looked like 15 yrs old when i told them i'm 20...lol
that lady was just so nice, she praise me sweet and pretty...hahahaha...usually customers will say me cute, lovely...this is the first time ppl say me pretty...wahahahaha

Before they left, OH MY GOD, the two aunties gave me 40 bucks tips!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so surprised and stunned at there. I told them that the tips should be for the servers. But they said, " no no no, we want to give u, we want to help u for ur trip, we hope u enjoy ur trip in usa.....and bla bla bla" WOW WOW WOW...I was so happy and at the same time i felt guilty because they are supposed to be baobao's customers...I was soooo sorry to baobao and i offered to treat her breakfast in dining room before i told her what's going on...hahahaha

8th june

Today lunch shift i worked for cassie and anthony. Both of them are nice servers. I trained a russian again. Before we started working, he asked me a lot of things about servers. Zadao...english so poor and first day work as server assistant already think of the ways to be promoted. It is not that easy to become a server. He is really dreaming. However, i think he is quite willing to learn and he is better than jiayen's barbie doll too :p

When we almost finished working, jonathan came to me and wanted to give me tips. HAHAHAHA another person who mistaken me and baobao again. He was just so confused. Then me and baobao went to find him and told him that we are totally different person. It was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing. By the way, jonathan is a very good server too. He always wear a leather coat...wow look like acting matrix ler...so yao yeng...and he is bald headed with a style mustache...not bad handsome la hahahaha
