Now let's get to know some of the people at work.
From the Management, we have;
Name: Robert Woodill
Position: General Manager
_
He's the person we came in contact with even before we landed in US. A very friendly manager, not bossy at all. He's very responsible when it comes to the student's welfar and always on time to pick us up for work.

_
Name: Tony Condo
Position: Store Manager (Bob's Big Boy)
_
He's nice once in a while and an asshole most of the time. He once asked me "Do you have ice-creams in Malaysia?" If he's joking, I don't think it's funny. Whenever Mr. Woodill is not around, he'll be the on incharge to pick us up for work, and he's always late. Not only that, the worst thing is, he still flirts like he's 20. Duh~
Name: John Kopaskie
Position: Store Manager (Roy Roger's)
_
He is the rough and grumpy kind of man, who talks really loudly. However, he is still a very friendly. Eventhough he talks like he is getting into a fight, but his expression is so funny and you'll think that he's joking.

_
_
Name: Aaron Palkovic
Position: Manager (Nathan's)
_
The youngest manager in the plaza and hence, mixed really well with us (the students). He's really friendly and even took us out to the club once. More like a friend to us than a manager.

_
Name: Cindy Kopaskie
Position: Supervisor (Gift Shop)
_
Cindy is the wife of Mr. Kopaskie. She's also my direct supervisor when I worked in the gift shop. She's really nice and always encourage me at work.

_
Name: Pilar Burgos
Position: Supervisor (Star Bucks)
_
Another nasty person we have to face at work. She's a hispanic from Pueto Rico. Always bosses around as if she's the general manager. Smokes alot and borrows money from co-workers. Will only be nice to you if you suck up to her. Yucks~

_
_
_
Name: Jim
Position: Shift Leader (Nathan's)
Rumours has it that Jim once hit a deer while he is driving when he was young. The sick thing is, he actually f*cks the dead deer and even took pictures of the act. But, he is still nice to us.

_
Name: Richard Bull Jr. (Ricky)
Position: Associate Leader (Starbucks)
_
Undoubtedly, the best among the best friends that we had in the states. I still remember staying overnight at his place with Poh Ching and Wei Ni, shopping at Walmart at wee hours, hanging out at Apple Bee's with him. He even took us to places like Niagara Fall's, Howe's Cavern, Woodberry Common Outlet Mall. Our days in the states wouldn't have been so much fun without him. He's also a very "special" friend of Poh Ching. Hehe~Thanks alot Ricky.
_
Name: Marc
Position: Associate Leader (Roy Roger's)
_
While most of the people there don't even know where Malaysia is, he knows Kuala Lumpur. His ambition is to be a historian. Very nice and friendly.

There are not much people assigned at the Gift shop. And most of them are middle-aged women (which in Malaysia we call "aunty").
Name: Denette Bradley
_
She started working in the plaza a few days after me. A former truck driver like her husband. Met an accident a few years ago and is having problem with her right arm ever since. A mother of 3 and a really cool colleague. We chat about almost anything when business is slow because it is so boring at the gift shop. I learnt to play cryptoquip from her.

At
Nathan's is the concept with most youngsters, and we've got a couple of buddies from here.
Name: Kevin Roosa
_
He's only 16, which makes him a minor. Being a minor is the states means you can't be out after midnight without an adult, your working hours are limited and you can't have any alcoholic drink. He looks cute with his mustach and is a drummer with a band. He's really cool and we hang around together in the plaza.
Yes, he's short, he looks like Mario and he's trying to touch my.......
Name: Adalid Givan
A classmate of Kevin in highschool and another cool buddy of us. Erm...yeah, he might be mistaken as an "aunty". Haha~ He's really efficient in his work. As a cashier, he is the one of the fastest to clear the long line of people during weekends. He's a Mexican American.
Part of our crew at Nathan's. From left, Andrea, Aaron, Me, Poh Ching, Marcin, Denitsa and Peter.
At Roy Rogers, we too get to know some really nice people.
Name: Guy Wensley
A whacky guy. Has a very funny way of talking. Couldn't stop laughing when he jokes with you.

Name: Heather (Pronounced as "Header")
One of the tallest living female I've ever seen in my life. With the smile, she looks alright in this picture....but actutally she's quite a punk with an attitude.Check this out...
Wow...what a tougue...
If that's not enough, how bout this...
" Stop looking at me....take this."Anyway, she's still one of our buddies (with the attitude).Yeah~
At I-Zone Sunglasses,
Name: Harue
From Japan. There's this kind of strange affection when an asian meets another asian in a western counrty. Harue is definately one of the person I'll chat with during my breaks. Even offer's to give us special discounts for the sunglasses.
There's many more people in the plaza who had been really nice to us. Well, too many to be listed in a blog entry.

Hopefully, this picture helps in helping you guys to get the idea.
We'll always hang around at the living room after work.
Occasionally, our manager would even drop by and join us.
For us the chinese, we do miss chinese food. So we did some cooking for ourselves at home sometimes. Here's us with rice and chinese style chicken soup~
Going online is one of the things I enjoy doing most during my leisure times..jpg)
