Lochoe started this killer tag, and the general response from those who did this tag, it’s a F-damn-tough tag to do. This tag is hard to do, especially if you have strings attached (read: in a relationship, married) Another reason is, it requires digging the past (sometimes it can be painful) and having a lot of courage, honesty and truthfulness to complete this tag. Put it this way, there are things we want to forget, and there are things we want to keep to ourselves, right? (and hidden from the rest, forever?)
So, Syam of Aeropama.com tagged me because he spent 4 torturing hours to complete his ’story’ and he wants me to endure such pain as well. Fine, let me try my very best.

I got this from AloneinHome.com. He didn’t tag me but I love this tag so I do it! (edited a bit)
OLD SKOOL TAG
1) 5 bad habits when you were in your school days
* Reading comics in class, especially during Moral and BM classes. How to do it without getting caught? Put your comics in the desk, sit with your back rested on the chair, slightly away from the table and don’t sit straight. Sit like a lazy bum without backbone haha! Then, don’t get too absorbed in your reading, do it casually so the teacher will not notice 
I never get caught meh!
* Woke up late, missed my breakfast at the dining hall. (Bad habit, because until today I seldom take breakfast and I am okay with that) Then, late to class, always ended up standing in middle of the field while other students were standing in front of their class when the national and state anthem were playing. Kinda embarrassing when everybody can see you standing at the field from their class, but after a while I got used to it because I had some buddies to join me on the field hehe.. always those same faces.. late risers.

I was walking to the car park and suddenly I saw something in the air, flying towards my direction. I wanted to run, but my knee wobbled and I was grounded to the spot. I decided to crawl into my car nearby and observed the flying object from inside my car. The object flew closer, then slowly descended down and landed on the tree. It is yellow and red in colour, with a string attached to it. I took a photo of it before I got closer to inspect it.

A timeless lesson on how consultants can make a difference for an organization…
Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the busboy brought our water and utensils, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, ‘Why the spoon?’
‘Well,’ he explained, ‘the restaurant’s owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped utensil. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our personnel are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift.’
As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare. ‘I’ll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now.’ I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter’s fly. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, ‘Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?’
‘Oh, certainly!’ Then he lowered his voice. ‘Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the restroom. By tying this string to the tip of you know what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the restroom by 76.39 percent.’
‘After you get it out, how do you put it back?’
‘Well,’ he whispered, ‘I don’t know about the others, but I use the spoon.’ 
I worked at restaurants and fast food joints before and you do not want to know what sort of things happening, ‘horror stories’ in the kitchen. My first working experience in the ‘food and beverage’ industry was in 1997. I was 14 at that time and during the long school holiday, I worked at this one Chinese coffee shop in Sarikei where I did things like washing the cups and glasses, take orders and deliver the food. Before I worked there I was very thin. I weighed 42-45kg and I was quite tall so I looked like ‘jerangkung’ at that time. You don’t believe me?

“Hey, wake up now. Later we cannot make it on time to the place,” she gentlely nudged his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
“Emmmmhhhhh **%%~@#!!” (lost in translation..) He slowly opened his eyes and lazily mumbled something. “What is the time now?”
“It it 5.45am. Just now woke up you at 5.30am and I went to prepare breakfast, didn’t know you went back to sleep”, shaking her head while she said that to him.
“5.45am? It is still early. Huarraarrrggghh…” (Yawning)
