Warning: Proceed with caution. A lot of whining about Faizal ahead, so read at your own risk.
Well, as he's on MC for about 8 days or so, I won't be seeing him at work then. *sob* And yes, I really miss him. It's just not the same, I mean, I see Fadli and Ismail and I think of Faizal 'cause he usually hangs around with them. And then I start to think about those times when he WAS there, and when we were having fun (shocking, I know).
The first time I remembered talking to him was in the RTT Room when he was folding boxes with Senget (that's not his real name, mind you). I went in to take some regular pan boxes to top up my cut table. At that time, Senget had a 'thing' for Sue *shudder* and when I went in, he asked me, "Sue tak kerja?" (Sue not working?) and I replied, "Tak lah. Eh, dier seram kat kau sei." (No. Eh, she's afraid of you.) Senget was like, "ha? Seram kat aku? Nape?" (Afraid of me? Why?) I just shrugged (difficult task since I had a stack of boxes in my hands). Then Faizal suddenly said, "dier seram kat aku?" (Is she afraid of me?) And I think I was blushing, but I know I was smiling when I said, "ha? Oh, tak lah..." (no la...) and shook my head. He grinned and he was so cute! I LOVE his dimples, it drives me nuts! And that same day, when I was going home, Faizal was just starting his bike to go for a delivery, and I waved at him and yelled out, "bye!" and then I spotted Senget....hahakz...and I told him, "kau jangan kacau Sue!" (You don't disturb Sue!)...*blush*
Well, there was this period of time when I was working morning for a few days straight (part of the whole training process I guess), and he's a regular morning rider. Hahakz...I remembered that once I was REALLY free for about 2 hours or so, and I was just standing around doing nothing. Entertaining Han Xiong (he was dispatching, but sadly he resigned) was fun, but with one person, it get's a bit quiet. So he went to the RTT Room to help fold boxes, and I was left with yet again, nothing to do. Then Prem told me to help fold boxes, and I've never done that before, so I went in and sat there and just picked up some cardboard shapes and the bases and then started folding. And yes, Faizal was in there, folding boxes as well. I sat facing away from him and there was a stack of personal pan boxes blocking us anyway. Well, then Han Xiong asked me where I lived and all, we were talking. And then Wei Min (I think) stood up and took a plastic bag. And I knew he what he was going to do, but I asked Han Xiong just to be sure. Then I shrieked, and Faizal peeked his head to look. But I was covering my ears and running out to the toilet...(what a shit thing to do) and when I came back everything was like...calm again and I was laughing until Daniel asked me, "what happened?"
Then there was this time where it was in the morning, about 11.30 like that and I was damn stressed 'cause the orders were piling up. I was in a HUGE rush and I took some boxes from RTT room, and I could hardly see where I was going, but I passed by Faizal, and I heard him say, "hi..." I think i just went "hmm..." in return, and then when I was packing the orders, it dawned on me. Shit, I forgot to say hi back to him.
But then he was doing wash (I think it was his first time) and he was quite lost...hahakz...he didn't know where to arrange the spatulas, knives and forks, and he asked me, "Ni letak kat mane?" (This one put where?) and I said, "bawah cut table" (below cut table) and he literally put all the untensils there, and I laughed. "Yang tu kat depan," (That one's in front) I said, indicating the forks, spoons and knives and refering to the Front Of House, and he was smiling sheepishly. "Letakkan..." (Put for me...) he said, and I just grinned and helped him with it. Then he finished washing the cutting boards and again (even after so long) don't know where it's supposed to be. "Yang ni?" (This one?) he asked, and I laughed again this time, I just signalled for him to just hand them over to me. Instead to walking up to me, he just stayed there and held it up, so I had to get off the aux table (I was sitting there all the while) and take it from his hands...*blush*
Then Daniel and I were talking, with him sitting on the cut table in front of me (I was sitting on the aux table again) and then Faizal came with more plates and again, he was lost. So I helped him out, told him the aux plates is below cut table, and then Daniel said, "Oi! That one in front!" and I was laughing 'cause it was so funny! Faizal just said, "Relax ar...er...Siti letakkan, boleh?" (Can you put for me?), and I was going to when Daniel said, "Eh, you don't bully my crew you, do yourself" and i couldn't help but laugh again. It was so fun! I remembered how he ALWAYS came in to steal some cinammon breadsticks when I was doing aux, and I'd let him and just smiled. One time, I said, "ar...curi lagi" (steal again...) and he just smiled. And there's this once where Hafiz was doing cut or something and then Faizal came in and steal cinammon breadsticks, and then Hafiz said, "Ar...ar...mengurat anak dara orang jer eh..." (disturb people's daughter only eh...)
And then one time, Prem wanted to test me on my procedures, so he asked me to make a personal pan super supreme, and so I did one for him, and downed it in the oven (what else DO you do with a made pizza?). And then I cut it but since I HATE vegetables, I was really lazy to pick them out of the pizza and just left it aside. Hafiz saw it and he asked me whose it was, and I told him Prem asked me to make, and I think Faizah asked if I could finish it. I just shrugged, and Hafiz said, "taklah. Ni dier buat untuk dorang dua...share..." (No. This she make for the two of them...share...) and I just stood there, not saying anything but grinning like one idiot. And then Faizah asked, "sape?" (who?) and Hafiz said, "Tu. Dua tu..." (There, those two...) and was like signalling with his head towards someone behind me. I didn't even realise there was someone behind me until I turned and Faizal was there, smiling, and there were those dimples! *swoon* And there was once I was doing cut (I was working afternoon shift) and then Faizal was waiting for his order to be ready. He was leaning against the wall, and then Hafiz purposely shout out, "FAIZAL!" and I was thinking, shit you. Then I wanted to take a spatula from the insert but it slipped ('cause my hands were trembling) and almost fell but I managed to catch it. And then Hafiz said, "Ar...ar...Tengok, dier menggeletar!" (look, she's trembling!) and I was blushing like hell but laughing...hahakz...and then Faizal went off for delivery and I was taking the pizza from the over and putting it on the cutting board, but I was a bit slow ar...and Hafiz just shouted, "FAIZAL! Tolong cut pizza!" and I turned around but Faizal was out on a delivery.
*Sigh* Those great times!
Man, I miss him! And I just got to know that he's represented Singapore for the SEA Games before (that explains the jacket he wore the other day then...) if I'm not mistaken 'cause that's what I heard Fadli said, and he's been on TV before! On Suria, TGIF...hahakz...I didn't watch, heck! I didn't even KNOW!
P.S: You've been warned about the whining!
