Forever 21, Number One!

Today I went early to meet up with Christine, Christie, Vicky, and Sorn at 34st. We sat inside Kunjip Restaurant and just caught up and stuff. Thanks big for the presents!! Super cute :)

Then I had to run to work. But the girls came to visit meee! Before starting our shifts, one of the co-managers, Andy, made us do a Forever21 cheer that goes like this "Forever 21, Number one!" with our hands all together in the middle and stuff. Lame-ooo!

one of the Twelve by Twelve pieces. Trust me, it looks a lot more crazy when it's not being worn.

I got assigned to maintain Twelve by Twelve. It's this pink room (yea another pink room) next to the entrance of the store. It's a brand that Forever21 sells. The style is kind of like vintage royalty (think Mary Antoinette) meets drag queen. So the stuff is pretty ruffle-y and lacey and really flashy. There's like peacock feathers and all kinds of drag queen looking like things lol.

At first I was like ohh, not bad, I just have to maintain a small room versus a small section on a huge floor. But then I look at the very back of the room and there was the "dunno-where-this-crap-goes" rack with like a bajillion pieces of random clothing from this line thrown all over it. It was on top of the overflowing rack, pieces of clothes were clogged on the bottom, just in a general--a monster of a mess.

I spent pretty much a good part of the day trying to organize it. I decided to organize it by color because it's easier to figure out where to put miscellaneous stuff. Some clothes were so outlandish I just didn't know how anyone could ever buy this stuff! Anyways, at least there was AC in my little room, cause once I walked out of the room, the ground floor was like a sauna since it was next to the entrance.

It started raining like hell at some point and people were going nuts and running into the store and crowding around the entrance. Rain was blowing in the store and outside it looked like the rain would hurt you if you had tried to fight it. It was pounding on the pavement. Huge raindrops.

Ate a "jung" (the rice stuff wrapped in leaves) for my 30-min break. After the store closed, we had to run clothes for HOURS! My feet hurt soo bad and the worst was my back was hurting (dunno why) probably from walking on flats for 12 hours (again). At some point we were just randomly sticking clothes anywhere just so we could leave. We were all so exhausted.

After work, Sunny & "stranger" (Alex) came to pick people up to go to David's (one of our assistant managers) birthday bash at 100 fun. He had the second floor and the balcony. Since we got out around 3, we got there around like 3:30am. They were BBQing on the balcony and drinking. It was like another Forever21 co-worker reunion LOL. Met some of the workers there. It was really fun. Even our other co-manager, Peng, was there. It was so funny that he dressed up all thug with his baseball cap and his high tops because he was like 30ish and he always wears formal stuff at work. And he's very professional at Forever21.



Lucy & Sunny eating with me at a bakery. Mock Dimsum and milktea!

Then 100fun closed around 4:00am so we moved the party to Sunny's apartment. Didn't really do much there but some of us were in Sunny's bed and we just chatted haha. Finally Sunny drove Sharry, Lucy, and me home. He dropped Sharry off and then him, lucy, and I decided to get some milk tea at 6 in the morning LOL. So we went to a bakery that was open and we just drank milk tea, ate some dimsum and talked about life lol.

Now it's 8:20AM and i think it's finally time for bed. Goodnight!
