ZZZZ applying for jobs are ultra stressful. Every single time i blog about a new phase of my life, it seems to become worse haha. From PSLE, to O'Levels, to every semester in university, and now this job thing. GEEZ.

It's ridiculous! Since i'm so desperate, i'm sending resumes to every thing i see online and in the newspapers. After sending, i'm worrying about the interviews, if i even get one. And after the interview, i'm worrying if i really might get the job. And after i'm offered the job, i'm worrying about whether i really want it, such as the BB post i applied for. Yeah don't ask -_- Then there's the laundry executive too, that was certainly a mistake during the wee hours of the morning while i was mass sending resumes. And finally, there's the writer post i was given, which i realized too late that it's a chinese magazine and well, you can guess why i didn't acccept it. I'll be fired within two days. -_-

Anyway, today was... interesting. Had lunch with mum during lunch break, decided to use the full hour, so we went for a japanese buffet lunch. My mother's day treat haha. Catch is, you gotta eat within 60 minutes.

The entire place felt like Japan itself. The decorations, the atmosphere, the music, and of course the FOOD... *drools* But do you know what localized the entire experience? My fellow singaporeans. The only way you could tell that we were STILL in singapore and did not magically teleport to Japan was the way we were all acting in that restaurant.

This is Loisa's guide to making your money's worth in 60 minutes.

1) To save time, RUN. Run to that sashimi calling out to you, run to catch those tempuras on the shelf, run to cook your teriyaki beef. DO NOT WALK. It takes up an extra 30 seconds that you could have used to stuff another sushi into your mouth.

2) When you've got your food, EAT on the way back. Don't stop to look around. Eat as you walk down the row, and perhaps you might empty your plate in time to grab something else before returning to your table.

3) As you use one hand to fill your cup with hot water, USE THE OTHER HAND to grab your tea bag and stirer. Don't waste time waiting for the water to drip into the cup. Make use of the other free hand to do something else, such as tearing apart the wrapper around your green tea bag.

4) A minute before your time is up, run to the ICE CREAM MACHINE and fill it up. Throw whatever jelly and sago balls and stuff into the cup and grab a stirer. Why? So you can eat it on your way out =D plus they don't provide disposable spoons. And if you've still got the stamina, run to the mochi balls section and see how many you can stuff into your mouth.

5) RUN RUN RUN like your life depends on it to the counter, with the bill in your hand!! There's an extra charge if you exceed 60 minutes.

6) Raise your hands in victory, commending yourself on completing the 60 minutes Japanese Buffet. You've made it! Now slowly eat your ice cream and smile to yourself as you think of how you've outsmarted the person who came up with the evil concept of forcing customers to stuff their faces with food within an hour.

Note: This is just me amusing myself. I am of course being quite sarcastic here so don't actually follow my guide word for word. Don't embarass yourself, the way i did when i ran straight into the glass wall seperating the tables and the food.
