Think again!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my didi!

CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT. Yeah. Anyway, that day there was a customer who flashed me a namecard (my director's namecard), with a "10% Off" and a official chop. And claims the 10% bill discount. So I went to ask my GM. He says okay. That's it. I'm glad I took the card from him.

Cos the next day, he called saying that we did not return him the card. I asked my GM, is it one-time use or many many times. He said only 1 time, not forever. So I called him and told him. Then he said, he is a regular and has used it many times in the other outlet. And that it was getting absurd. And he wanted to speak to the manager. But manager doesn't speak english. So I passed the matter to Joe-san. And they contacted the other outlet. The customer then called back saying he was expecting a call but we didn't call back. Blah blah blah.

Then Gen-san came and stapled the card, saying that the card cannot be used. And Matsuoka-san was very angry, cos it was his namecard. So the so-called discount card is not valid from the start.

It is very weird. Gen-san was nice enough to give the discount since it was not a voucher. And he claimed that it is a discount card which can be used many times. And the namecard holder was Matsuoka-san. It was quite impossible. Maybe one time use still more believable. So it was solved in the end lar. The customer made a huge fuss out of something that was not real.

Omg, I feel so no strength today. Maybe 3 days of almost full day of work is too tiring for me. Climb a few steps or walk a little faster and I feel the suanness in my legs.

I seriously think I lack rest lor. I packed my schedule too tightly. All work and dance. My off day on Thurs is outing and dance too. Only today morning I am free leh. Huh.. Can school don't reopen? I am enjoying my holiday! Enjoying working. Eh, maybe not that much now. As I realised something. Student part timers are leaving.

Full-timers are really really different from students. Students are much more 纯真, more innocent, so to say. In behavior, in personality. Sometimes I feel that they are selfish. I was telling my mum that I am lucky to have joined early, when that time all are students, all part timers. If not I really don't know what will happen to me. Cos what I heard is that a lot of them are selfish and unwilling to share knowledge, and that they will not help you grow but pull you down to be better than you. But I really don't know, I don't know who is right and telling the truth also. I guess this is the working environment my parents have been talking about.

Anyway, ramen bowls were super hot last night. I helped to carry a few, and they were burning hot. While sending aka to table 10, I was this is aka. *Waiting...* Customers, a group of girls, were eh, what's this, what's this, discussing for a long time. I really felt a drop of sweat went down my face. It's like hot and -.-' that kind. Lol, and finally they sorted it out. And I heard one say to another, the bowl very hot right.. I wonder how they managed. And I was thinking, glad you know that. I really don't know whether to laugh or to -.- them. Lol.

Exercise~

It's confirmed. Lol. That I really don't like to jog, and exercise. Cos of this Chingay, I have to train up my stamina and lose some weight due to the costume. Quite revealing they say. zZz... They haven't shown us the costume yet!! If not... just maybe I'll quit. Lol. After jogging for 3 mins, I feel like fainting already. Lol. Yeah, haven't exercised since I left JC. How bad is it? And my stamina isn't good from the start. Man man lai bah. I'll run longer in time to come. :)

Chingay yesterday. My group finally has a formation. Oh yay~ And they video-ed it down for submission yesterday. I think overall it'll look quite nice.

I love holiday. I enjoy working more than studying. But when the student part timers leave, it may not be that fun anymore. But sometimes I feel quite sian also. Studying is still good, well, I have to. I lack of sleep this few days. Although I had around 7 hours of sleep but like still not enough leh.

R.R. today. It was a busy afternoon. Tomorrow will be even busier. I'm working my Christmas away~~

With so many staff nowadays, I feel quite important sometimes. Hahaha, especially with more and more full-timers. Yeah, but they still want me. :)

Hiong.

Chingay = [PA(A+B+A+C+C+D)+I+MASS] x6 today. OMGzzz. My fringe was all wet. But not too bad. Recalling now, it wasn't that tiring. But I think I will die for you to see if I do it again. Which we will very soon.

I was thinking for the on-site rehearsal, we might be doing [Chingay x6] x3 or something. I can't remember how many times we rehearsed for NDP that time. But normally these big events won't be that easy. So, let's jiayou jiayou!!

Busy busy week. Work and dance.

Oh, new menu. Lunch A, B, C and Lady's Lunch. I was... rather confused too. Hahah. I miss working full days, well almost full. Sat 10-2230, Sun 10-23, Mon 12-24. R.R. yesterday morning. And cashier at night, this is like the third time I am cashier since I worked in Ippudo for a year now. I think I was on sat morning too. TALLY and I am so happy. Just just just 10 mins before L.O. 9 people came in. -.-" It was rather busy for a Monday morning. Cos I guess, we lack of staff, only 5 of us. Helen was not feeling well, so she left early, very early.

4 days dancing last week, and 3 days this week. Oh well. I sort of regretted joining Junior now. Should have joined after Chingay. But I must really thank god that I didn't get into Advanced, I guess it is much better this way. Cos Advanced requires much much much more commitment. I think maybe I don't look forward to Junior cos I don't have close friends in there.

Gatherings.

Last Tuesday, had an Ippudo-first-few-batches outing at Ippudo Tao. Miss them tons.




Yay!! First DreamWerks junior class. I was so super early on Wed. I thought it was starting at 6.30pm, but it was 7pm. I reached at 6pm, even earlier than the president. -.- So paiseh. Learned bounce and isolation.

Chingay practice on Thursday. Only 3 from my group turned up, cos a lot of UB people, and they are having exam. My captain is leaving, hence a new dance captain.

Friday lunch with Clarine, Marcus and Clement. And watched Rapunzel with Marilene, Marcus and Clement. Then went off with Marilene to find Jiaxin.

A random photo which I like a lot. :)

And then went for work. Oh mentioning about work, I remember last week Matsuoka-san and the who came and Weiqi took their order. And it went something like this..
Matsuoka-san: (order blah blah) one hatsu.
Weiqi: Hatsu?
Matsuoka-san: Hatsu, chicken heart.
Weiqi: Chicken heart. Yes, I know. (Wow, to the director leh.)
Something like that. The restaurant was quite empty at that time, only B1 and the two of them. And Karen-san, Helen and I just laughed on the spot. Just sounded funny, but I think it's quite hard to imagine it. Now I can't remember why it was funny too..
Friday 10/12/10 was my 1 year in Ippudo.

Saturday, work in the morning. Went off to find Jiaxin, Gideon, and Marilene.. was late!! HAHAHH! Then went to T31 gathering at Fish & Co. Took lots of photos. Had a great time catching up with ex-classmates.

Had a bad morning yesterday. Missed the train, was glad I caught the bus. But I stoned for awhile and realised I am approaching the bus stop. So I attempted to press the bell twice. But then I found out the bell was spoiled. So I watched the bus passed by the stop. And I alighted the next stop, thinking where I was. I was going to be late. So I just kept running and running, toward the direction I thought was correct. For some moment, I felt like giving up and just be late. But I just kept going. And I finally reached the office just to realised the door was locked. So I called Nelvin and fortunately he helped me send the key over. Cos I really could not run anymore. I was red, tired and feeling warm even before work. Just clocked in 2 minutes before 10am. But everything went smooth after that.

Worked till 6 yesterday. Went home. Went back workplace at 11pm, to meet up with the people. Steamboat at Beach Road. I didn't want to go at first, cos I'm super lack of sleep and feel sick. But then I was the R.R. and the kitchen people (Sam, Peter and Jason) kept psycho-ing me. Super funny. Sam was like 要三个男的跪下来叫你去吗?Then he also 闹自杀。But he held the back of the blade to his wrist. I told him wrong side lar, he said 不要管我,我说对就对。They are... super nonsense. Didn't regret going cos it was enjoyable. Left at around 1.30am. Shared cab with Roy and Wei Chee. Roy is quitting. I don't work with him often. But I know that he is very helpful, only 17 but he seems to have a good quality. Hahaha. Feels like a didi to me.

Group Photo.

Servers.

And yesterday 12/12/2010 was Ippudo SG's 1 year Anniversary. Tao staff wore MG's uniform to celebrate it. As for me, I wore round neck too, no polo tee. I miss those times, when I wore round neck, it was a long long long time ago. But again, the feeling is quite different from last time. Round neck means that I was a rookie, not so much of a responsibility and expectation. But I am happy now too. Cos I am big! No lar, cos I am happy that everyone is getting along well. Just popped by MG to say hi. But they were busy. But I'm contended to see them. :)

End of the year. Many meet ups and gatherings. Opportunity cost of going out is to spend money and not able to work. But it is irreplaceable by the joy you get when you see your friends.

Dance this Tuesday (Chingay), Wednesday (Junior), Thurday and Friday(Chingay). I know I love dancing. But it's a little too much arh? I hope I don't die so soon. Studies, work and dance. I have to be committed to all. Jiayou!

Time to plan my primary school and secondary school dance gathering.

Many people seems unhappy working here. I heard people wanting to quit. And I've seen many. But I understand. Because there was a period of time when I felt like quitting too. But after you master most of the skills and stuff, you will find that things are actually not that bad. I know it is hard, I am still learning too. But trust me, after you get over that period, everything will turn out fine.

The Feeling of Ippudo.

A Friday, but I worked morning shift. The one and only time in a few weeks. But I'll make it up by working night tomorrow. Yep. I kind of feel bad cos I know tonight will be busy.

Another week just flew passed, again. It's like.. I'm back at work again. But I'm happy to see my colleagues once again.

Wed's junior class was postponed to next wednesday.

School and Chingay yesterday. I was quite sleepy. Econs lecture for 3 hours, 0830-1130. zZz... Always burnt out after econs. Then went PS for lunch with jx. And went back to school at 3 plus. Chingay starts at 1830. So I just sat alone and study. So sad.. Bag no space so I could only study econs again! Chingay: Did some brushing of steps by groups. And formation in the small function room. I had to dance by the table. Hahaah.

Morning shift as Ramen Runner today. Not busy, so everything was quite fine. Jiaxin and I helped to weigh noodles. Professional! Roy joked, "You are ramen runner, why you never run?" I replied, "Cos I am too fast, you can't see me running." After work, proceeded to the office. Karen-san was there, doing her stuff, Jiaxin, Roy, Weiqi and I chatted with her for a while. Talked a lot of stuff. Haha. I like this batch much more than the previous batch. Cos at this time of the year, students who just graduated are coming in. Just like the past. But the feeling is still quite different from MG.. I feel that generally fresh graduates tend to put in more effort and are more receptive to advices.

Met up with Abigail, Hui Xian and Derrick for dinner at 6. Didn't want to go home and come out again since both places are in town area. So I studied in the office. Econs again. And a little of accounting. Ate at Ion Paradise Dynasty. Xiao Long Bao!!

Suddenly, I feel like going Sentosa, to suntan. But this time of the year is not a good time. And I think I need to go jogging soon. Chingay dance x6 isn't fun.

Let me do some advertising.

Dance [Love] but Tiring.

Dance Day yesterday. My group had self practice at Bukit Gombak CC from 4-6. Then we proceeded to school for Chingay Practice from 7 to 10. Allegra was there from 8 onwards. We learned a lot from 8 to 10 and it was really tiring. Was like dying on the bus already.

Chingay is really fun. It's really great to see the end product. Although it is not done yet, but more or less.

I'm still tired. And I think I'm really old now. Back is aching. Oh, I feel like sleeping now again, after 10 hours of sleep. I have work later. (Hmmm. I think I should sleep right? But I need to study also.. Eh, sleep bah. Haha. If not I'll die tonight. Especially if I were to be the R.R. Hahahah. Backache. Hmmm. Maybe a R.R would be good? Ramen bowl not that heavy. Cos server has to carry heavy tray. But R.R. has to 'run'. Hahaha. Oh well, let's see what I get later.)

Sunday, November 21, 2010

I'm the first R.R.

Omg, how come I suddenly cannot multi-task? Lol. Could I in the first place? I think so leh.

Anyway, this was what happened. It was 2 bowls of Kuro (Black) with Shiro (White) Noodles to Table 7 and 8. Cos the ramen section was saying, next Kuro with Shiro Noodles. So I prepared spoon. Sent one bowl, then second bowl I suddenly realised that I took Shiro spoon. For both. So embarrassing *fan face*. I hope the customers didn't realise, since both are the same. =X Mr J saw then he laughed and I think he told a lot of people. I know he told ramen section, and then I saw him talking to Weiqi (this one I'm not sure). -.-.... Okay... It's malu enough already. He asked me so how? I said 将错就错啦。Thank goodness the jap customers ate very fast. So clear also fast. But Miyazaki-san saw, cos he helped to clear. It was so embarrassing. I was a little blur lor.

Okay, let me find some excuses for myself. Cos I was not only the ramen runner, but I had to take care of floor also. I was like... running all around the place. Cos today indoors there's only WeiChee (rookie didn't come). Ivy as cashier, Vivien at bar, Weiqi and June outdoors. For a moment I kept shouting for help. But... You know, you know?

But heng, nobody sort of blamed or anything. Haha. I think Miyazaki-san is very nice. He helped a lot, for floor, back up ramen runner and food runner too. So nice till sometimes I feel that I did nothing much, so much till I feel quite useless. =X

I guess I am the first R.R. to send wrong spoon. Eh, no. Gen-san did it before. Heheheh!

Dance!

3rd Chingay Practice.

Practising by groups. Only 1 hour of practice. Brush up on steps, practise and practise. I love this part. Hahaha. It's fun. =D

It's back to work again tomorrow. It's so weird, when I am working, I feel so sian, hoping for weekdays. But when I go to school, I feel so bored in lecture, and feel like working, more fun in a way. And now, I just hope for an off day, no school, no work. Yay.

I want to join DreamWerks Junior Class. Since I can't get into the Advance Team. After a few months of practice, I hope I can get through the audition next year. Perhaps I am crazy, school, work, chingay, and now dance. But life will be so bored without dancing, or any interest, isn't it? At least it is on Wednesday, so doesn't affect much. Last evening, so I guess I can then force myself to study.

My favourite subject now is Stats. =)

Friday, November 12, 2010

Chingay Practice 2.

Chingay practice today. Got the tee. Yay!!

Mind totally went blank during Hip Hop. Got into Group 3. After the second dance I was regrouped to Group 1.

It's really quite a lot for me to remember. And my mind is like auto-deleting some steps. Lol. Not enough memory space. Just need for practices. But it is so fun. Shake shake. =)

T31 BBQ!


BBQ last saturday. It's rained but bbqing under the rain can be quite fun too. Haha. More teamwork maybe? Cos some held umbrella, some bbq. And everyone squeezing under the same umbrella just brought us closer together. Hahaha. Though we were freezing. Who ever heard that we can freeze during bbq. Remember to bring windbreakers to bbq next time! But it was fun overall. We just went some random place and cut cake, and sat on the floor.

Oh thanks to all who helped. My kor's bbq stuff, my di helping me bring some of the stuff down (he was studying there). Marcus and Clement for buying stuff. And Edmund for carrying the stuff, really heavy. MY and JX for buying cake. And everyone who came. =D


-capri

And I am sooo proud of my Enoki Maki!!

Better weather next time!

Saturday, November 06, 2010

Singaporeans ain't that bad.

Ended work at 2am. Reached home around 3 plus. Slept at 4. The later i slero the earlier i wake up, and the less i need to sleep. Woke up at 9 plus.

Taking an off day on a Saturday is so shuang. Wohoo!! Cos there's BBQ later for t31. The weather looks great. Just hope it don't rain later.

I'm a pasir ris now. Wireless. Yay. Anyway, took bus with two big ice boxes. A lady gave me her seat nearest to the exit. And the strings came loose as I was about to alight the bus. I was like oh s***. So I tried to hold them together but it still came a part. Thanks to those fellow passengers whom helped me carry the stuff down the bus. I really don't know what to do without them.

And thank goodness my brother is studying at downtown east. Asked him to bring down two packets of stuff down for me.

Friday, November 05, 2010

BBQ is tomorrow!!

My nose. is dropping. Hahha. Runny nose for like 3 days? Gonna die soon, what am I to do without a nose? Ate a medicine and it made me slept 2 hours more. And the nose is still running.

Off to buy more stuff for bbq soon.

Then study.

And work. Today should be fun. Cos Fujibe-san will be coming over! "What a shame!!"

I feel like cycling. =)

As Usual.

On Friday, I was attending two customers. Then I saw one guy running in at the back, I saw it was Fujibe-san. And while attending the customers, I saw that guy dancing and shaking behind the customers. It was so Fujibe-san. At night, Matsuoka-san came over to eat also.

Sat afternoon, Kohei-san came over. And we saw Kexuan, ZhiCheng and JunXing at Cine Koufu. =))

Made quite a number of small mistakes yesterday. Sian. And got commented by you-know-you-know. It's like if you can make it in time, I won't have to help you and make that mistake right. Tsk, but I admit it's my mistake. Really ajkshfkjhsdfnjsdgnlkuishr. I hate it when I know I made a mistake and people just had to rub it in when I am already feeling horrible.

I don't understand ramen runner is ramen RUNNER for a reason. It's not ramen walker or ramen stroller. Okay... Anyway, it's like you can't even catch kuro, what the..

Okay, I know I have high expectations for the people. So I get disappointed sometimes. But sometimes I am also stressed cos I know I have a greater responsibility. I just hope that we can grow, into one.

Went kbox with colleague last night.

Sometimes I find things too complicated.

Thursday, October 07, 2010

Stop.

Sometimes I just hope people will grow up. Hahaahha. Creating politics isn't fun.

Was called back to work today. It was surprisingly.. not busy. Matsuoka-san came to help up. But it wasn't busy at all. But very weird, customers seem to come very late. Suddenly, after last order at 11pm, customers started coming in for Ramen only. We served like 4 groups after L.O. And at 12, people were still coming in. But they ate very quickly.

I am actually looking toward Friday. Nelvin, Wan Ling, Jiaxin and Allan will be there. It will be more SG-fied. I was thinking on the bus just now. I miss working with the first few batches a lot. When can we work together again?

And Twin is back in Singapore. Met up with her yesterday. Gonna meet her two more times. Lol. Cos we have lots of mutual friends. =)

She makes me wanna go Australia for holiday. If I earn enough money and save enough for my school fees, I'll go find you!!

Sunday, October 03, 2010

Annoyed again, by another person.

Omg, Alvin quit. He is one of the better staff, according to me. And I extended to 9pm, supposed to end 6pm. But it's like position, only Ivy indoors and Shelley outdoors. Really lack of staff.

Seriously, some people just piss me off. Make me so annoyed. Stop complaining that there is no this and no that. We are wiping the utensils dry NOW. If you are so free, help us. Shelley was alone outdoors and can't you see that things are stacking up, and she has no time to even wipe them. All you do is bring them out and leave it there. And don't even bring the dried ones in. I know you are busy. But everyone is.

And stop finding excuses. First time I saw Ken so angry,

Some people just think that they are good. But the fact is they are not!! I know nobody is perfect, but at least be more humble and learn.

Sorry, I just need to complain cos I am really irritated. Much better now, complaint to my mum just now. Hahahha.

Somehow I feel that I am happier when I do not have work with some people.

I seriously think that next week will be the start of my nightmare. But at least Allan, Nelvin and WanLing will be coming to work. It's the only thing I look forward.

Okay okay, happy things. Nelvin came with his family in the afternoon to eat, so happy to see him. My sec school teacher came too, Mrs Khoo? And Soo and MinHo came at night.

Saturday, October 02, 2010

All Kinds of People.

Some customers are so -.- unreasonable.

Today, I came upon a customer with children. But indoors is full. So I offered her to wait indoors, waiting seat. Then she was like saying. How long does she has to wait? She has children with her, and that they walked all the way from UE Square. The children can't wait. And she was so angry and walked out, passing me the voucher (meaning that they wouldn't come back anymore?). Then I followed her out, and asked if she would like to take a seat outside (with table, so she can order) and that she can move in when there is a seat indoors (it's quite hard to do that by the way, quite troublesome). Once again she asked me how long they will have to wait. I said less than 15 mins. Then again, she repeated the same thing. And left angrily. She asked like what were they supposed to do, she got children with her, they can't wait. (or is it she can't wait?) And what am I supposed to do?? Chase all the other customers out so that they get a seat??!?!

And one more group today, they are a family of 4. And counter only has a seat for 3, a customer and then an empty seat. They requested for the one customer to move down so that they can get a seat. I won't do that for them if it was me, but how can I reject them nicely also? So my colleague politely asked the customer to shift. But then, how would you feel if you are eating halfway and someone asks you to move?

I just feel that some people only think of themselves. Self-centered that is.

And don't people need to sleep? Not wanting to leave close to 2, 2AM that is. It's like WE need to sleep. Lol.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Shhhhhh!!!

Stop disturbing me. Cos it irritates me. Thank you.

Seriously lar. Aiyo, I was so angry today. Cos I was doing almost everything. Sian. It's like when I need help, nobody is there. When I don't need help, then offer help. -.-

I don't want your help. =X

It just makes me more annoyed.

Can say I am quite a perfectionist. I want fast fast. Everything to be done fast, and nicely. 快而准,明白吗?

I feel I am repeating stuff again and again. I am quite sian of it. But it doesn't seem to be working. Please learn.

Obvious hor? 哎呀,随便啦。

I miss them. I miss around 7 months ago.

-by Nelvin

How come I feel blogs are so unsafe now? So no privacy? Hah.

Whatever lar.

Chingay Amazing Race!!

Boo! School started. Lectures and lectures, and work continues. Now I am really a part-timer. Last time also part timer, but 是一个比full-time还要full-time的part-timer. Understand? Hahaha.

Karen-san asked me if I miss MG. I said yes, but all the staff has changed, most of them. Even dinah-san. Matsuoka-san and Kohei-san came last night. I am always happy to see people like them and Fujibe-san coming to Tao. They always bring me entertainment. And I really miss them. Kohei-san so funny. Say I good girl. Lol. Gen-san as the translator?!? Lol.

Worked ended 2 yesterday, reached home at 3. Slept at 3.30. And had to report to school by 8.15 today, means have to wake up at 6. 2.5 hours sleep. Felt like I just closed my eyes and alarm went off. But okay leh, not very sleepy now. Exercised too much just now.

Chingay Amazing Race just now. Got to know new people. Group 7 under Steph. It was crazy. Lol. Walked super a lot and ran. 10 stations in 1.75 hours? Walked from Flyer to places like Raffles, Chinatown, and back. Didn't expect to survive. And we got 3rd overall. =D Tiring but we had fun!! My groupmates are friendly. Yay!!

The world is so small. Saw this 3 person in white at Hougang Bus Interchange. Thinking if they were going for Amazing Race too. True enough, they were. And they were in my group. It was Kai Ting, Jun Yi and Ivan. And I saw Ms Bibiana at Suntec during Amazing Race. She just alighted the cab.

Cos of this Chingay thing, I cancelled my work schedule twice. Sorry arh.

I wonder how I survive the 3hrs lectures when I couldn't take the 1hr lectures in JC last time.

Monday, August 16, 2010

Sick.

High fever of 39.4 last night. But went down very fast. Fever and headache on sat. But still had to work. Karen-san wasn't feeling well too. It was her birthday yesterday. She said call her if I'm not well enough to work. But how can I? But I'm fine now. Got a day off today. =)

Surprise, surprise!! Mr Befu's reservation for 10 on 15 Aug, 00:00 was actually the peeps from Mandarin. To celebrate Karen-san's birthday.


Hmmm. I didn't get selected for DreamWerkz's Advance Team. Was a little sad at first but okay now. Decided not to join any CCA if I failed the audition, but now on second thought, I might want to join the junior team instead and go for the audition again once I brush up my skills. I really want to dance.

School is starting soon. What can I do?

Monday, August 09, 2010

Fireworks @ Home.

Happy National Day!!

At first I thought nothing much about it, just an off day!! Didn't expect a celebration at Sengkang and fireworks. Wow!!

Nice!!

Tomorrow is Ippudo x Tao Grand Opening. Almost everyday is full shift.

Opening Hours
Mon-Thurs 11-24
Fri & Sat 11-02
Sun 11-23
But work starts at 10.



I like Tao's music.


Kohei-san gave me this. =]

I really hope to get into DreamWerkz. If not everyday is really study and work.

I realised it is my duty to teach you. I have the responsibility, that is why I am here. I won't give up if you are willing to learn. At least try. I am willing to take up the challenge. Lol.

Exciting Day, Finally.

WOW!!! Boring everyday. Exciting yesterday, Friday. Working at Ippudo now, since 24 Jul.

First, went work at 3, then left work at 5.20. Went SIM Ulu Pandan for Dance Audition. No SIM card, no IC. Didn't know how to go to the dance studio, stalked one of the dancer looking person, so hip hop. Okay. Choreography is okay for me. But freestyle not okay!! In or not, I'm not confident. I hope I can get in though. Miss and love dancing. But don't get in means more time for working = more money. Great, I was no.1. First to get interviewed, first group to be auditioned. Wow. It was killing me, tough on my stamina. And I think I sprain my big toe, blueblack on my left knee. Hurts. -.- Oh and the sunset view from the dance studio is quite nice.

Then went back to work, reached at 8.40. Ended work at 2, yeah, 2AM. Soo and Min Ho came. Followed by Fujibe-san, Rachel and a new guy. Oh. Fujibe-san and Kohei-san came yesterday too, the two kowai kaos. I realised I miss them a lot. Was super happy when I saw them standing on the pathway, with their arms crossed the same way. It just made my day, chased my sleepiness away. And Fujibe-san is a really professional 'flirt'. He was like "I'll get a sake bottle if you'll drink with me", "I want a sweet potato sake, but can you make it as sweet as you?", "I want it with ice and your tears. (mizuwari)" and "Is the black pepper as black as you heart?" Everything also made me don't know how to reply.

Then bus came at 2.30 to bring us home, first time ended work at 2. First to redhill then to serangoon, to Tampines (2 person) and Sengkang last. While sending Jessica home, the bus uncle lost his way. -.- Luckily my dad was just near by, abandoned the bus and went on the comfy cab. And reached home very quickly, but the whole ride was 1hr. Can you imagine how scary it was? The uncle lost his way and we didn't know the route too. And many stuff that made us feel unsafe. The feeling was so different in my dad's cab. And there was this Traffic Police Checkpoint on my way home. The only memory of it was when I was still a kid.

I miss Ippudo SG a lot, seriously. I like it busy, I like it without drinking much, I like it without toilet (lol).

Actually my dad said he wanted to pick me up from work just now, but I said let me try the bus see how first. But after this, I guess, I would never want to take the bus anymore.

Sorry, but I realise I really can't stand people who irritates and annoys me. Wah, to such a great extent till I can't hide it. If you get what I mean.

UE².

New outlet is opening. If I am going over, that means today is my last day.

4C2, 4 choose 2. It's between Jiaxin, Kexuan, Rachel and me.

It's so sad to make whatever decision. A painful decision, as what Fujibe-san said.

A lot and a lot of rookies now.

Should I join a CCA, or should I just work?

Had OG14 outing at Fish & Co last Sat. 15 turned up. Only 4 girls there.



I like this photo. =)

Might be going Johor with mum tomorrow. Wheee.. Ever since K2.

To go or not to go? One of the many decisions in life. Tell me what to do.

Orientate.

Went SIM on Thursday and Friday. Mixed the days up, but they have 2 separate groups. Supposed to go for orientation first then talk, but we did the other way round.

Thursday's talk was 3 hours long and not interesting. Alright. Friday's orientation was... okay... But I sort of enjoyed the mass game. Dodge Pillow ( something like dodge ball).

OG14.

Went work after that. Sian. But they only had 6 floor staff that night, normally 9.

Was having runny nose since Saturday. And yesterday was quite bad, so opted to stay in kitchen, maybe as drink assistant or something. But they gave my Food Checker. Hoho. First time doing checker, on a Sunday somemore- a full menu for lunch. Learning as I work. Thank goodness my runner was good, Akiko-san. She really helped me a lot. And all the floor staff who came in to see if I needed help. Thanks a lot. =D Ramen runner at night. Feeling so much better now as the kitchen was a warm/hot place to be in, esp yesterday. So helps with flu. Lol.

Jin Han and Jesse's last day already. More and more seniors leaving, leaving all the rookies behind.

Thursday, July 01, 2010

Nothing, scolded for nothing.

I want to complain about a customer who complained about me.

SHARK!! It was so uncalled for. And making a big fuss out of something small.

So today, the floor only has Zhang Xiang, Rachel, Kexuan and Sally, I think. Sally was the new ramen runner. So I took this order from this table. And after that this lady came and asked who took their order. And I said it's me. She said the ramen is taking too long, just cancel it. So I went to check, I told her it was the next receipt. Then she said she doesn't want it anymore, like I forgot her order or something. And she made a big fuss out of it.

Cos ramen runner waited for the gyoza to be sent first, then she says ramen okay. The gyoza guy is quite new, very slow. So wait here, wait there, quite long. She made a big fuss out of it. And me this wait-ress got scolded for this. I ONLY TOOK HER ORDER. So unfair.

She wanted to 'see' me, but they told her that I went for break. And then everything is my fault. Not the gyoza person, not the ramen runner, but me, the order taker. Okay, yes, I have fault too, for not checking and stuff. But normally customers will ask also. Although Karen-san says nobody blames me.

So many things, problems and accidents happened after the quarrel. The restaurant is a holy place. The ramen god seems to be punishing us. -quoted from Fujibe-san. On the day of the quarrel, many accidents happened. Around 3? Is it really so or it is just coincidence? Cos there are many rookies, so accidents happened after many weeks, many months of no-accident.

School stuff tomorrow, but it is so unsettled. Timings and stuff. No good lar.

Contacts.

Went back Ippudo to eat today, with my family. Got an ice cream treat from Fujibe-san- a mixture of yuzu, cherry blossom and matcha ice.


Then my brother went to buy contact lenses at my uncle's shop. I went to, had this sudden urge to try one too. Seeing others wear contacts looks so scary. After a few tries, I managed to get it in my eye. It is quite fun actually. Haha. Never thought that I would have to courage to wear a contact lens. But I did. It's really fun. Contacts in one eye. Lazy eye. Haha. I can see, but I just don't want to rely on one eye, making the other worse.

Met up with Marilene and Jiaxin after that.

I have received my SIM acceptance.

That time Vanness from F4 came to Ippudo.

My mum ask me if can go uni next year, until I earn enough money.

It's like I'm tired of working everyday, but I want to help them until they open their second branch and when everything is stable. If I study next year, I have to work like this x2 again.

Looks like I'm gonna apply for bank loan. Interest rates and application fees. -.- It's like I have not enough money that's why I need a loan but everything else requires money, I guess that's how they earn money bah. Haha. No choice.

Tuesday, June 08, 2010

Sot.

Crazy, I suddenly don't feel like having an off day tomorrow. Lol.

First time I closed Cashier yesterday so a bit/very messy. Hahah. And first time I section A too.

Today's positions were quite weird, morning we had Rachel Attendant, Jiaxin A, Florence B, Yining C, Me Ramen Runner, Kexuan Drinks, Swee Yong Checker and Toshi Food Runner. Hmmm. Haha.

I am a senior staff, so called. But I have never done Checker and Cashier before. Lol. My standard position is either server/waitress or attendant.

And so I managed to wake up 4.30 yesterday morning. And reached home at 6.30, had breakfast with parents and brother outside and went all the way to Jurong. And continued to sleep till 9 plus, followed by a full day of work, and morning shift today. I managed to survive. But today I was quite okay, not very sleepy. =)

Can time just stop? I don't want to grow up. Life is so complicated. Haha.

Monday, June 07, 2010

See you in one...

Complains about customers again!! Haha.

The NASTY Sharks!! Today, table 14 & 15 ordered one Buta Supearibu and complained that it was too hard and tough. And demanded for a change, to other dishes. So Krish changed B. Tofu for them. And he asked me to go kitchen to try and see how they felt. It was so soft and nice! Maybe they or she wanted another dish, don't like that dish or something. And Krish had to like apologise to them. Like wts (as jiaxin always say). So unreasonable.

Teddy Bears, Owls, Lamb and SHARKS customers.

Jesslyn or Qian Hui, known as my twin last time has gone to Australia to study, sent her off just now. I hope we will stay in touch. For one year, it's a long time, but I guess time will fly. And soon she will be back.


And my brother is going for reservice later, at 5am. And I just know that. So I think I am going with him to camp with my parents. And working full tomorrow. I'm only left with 4 hours of sleep. Lol. Won't get to see my brother for a week.

Monday, May 31, 2010

L.D.

Many people's full day today. Break same as Kexuan, so went Koufu with her. Saw Sheila and Fujibe-san there. Rachel joined us too. Then Zhang Xiang came too. 'Ippudo outing'.

Feng Fei's last day today. No one to bully after this. No more "FENG Fei.. AGAIN!!" Remember the days when they were the rest. Lol. Grow into one.

How many people have I seen leaving this restaurant??


The most number of floor staff in history?

Saturday, May 29, 2010

The Golden Rule.

"Customers are always right." To what extent is this statement true?

I don't know. But our restaurant doesn't really go with this statement. Haha.

Last night, there was this group of 3 saying I missed them. They claimed that they were before the group of 6 (table 13-15). And so I gave them the next table (20-21). Then next was a group of 4 (table 11-12) and they said table 20-21 were behind them. So who is right? I would rather believe 11-12 though. Cos I don't remember seeing 20-21 before, I'm quite sure I didn't miss them. But no one could justify it. If 11-12 was telling the truth, that means 20-21 malign me. And Fujibe-san and Matsuoka-san was there too. Make me like a bad attendant, but they never say anything. >:( But overall, customers were SO understanding yesterday. They just let those with all here go first. So nice, I love these customers. If not, others would make noise.

Wah, covers hit 950 yesterday. But average not high. I was thinking, if average higher, that means customers will eat more, turnover will be slower, and covers will drop. Customers eat less, average drop, we can serve more customers.

Not at the best this morning. Quite slow. But I'm really very tired from yesterday.

Tried the new operating system on Monday. PDA sia. Quite fun. But hard to use.

Saturday, May 22, 2010

Life of an Attendant.

R.R. yesterday night.

Sian, today sort of got scolded bu customer again. Cos 4 person, only 3 here. So cannot sit mah. Then the lady complained said her friend will be here in 2 mins. She is very hungry, she wants to sit. Then I said okay, I'll wait 2 mins. So I left the table empty. Then we told her actually another table would be ready soon, maybe 5 mins. Then she was like, my friend will be here in 2 mins, and you still want us to wait. She said this is ridiculous, just cos you don't want a customer to remove their bag (off the chair) so we'll have to wait. Then okay, friend here already, I brought them to the table (BR) and she sat down and said, "Just to feedback, your service sucks." What can I say? So I just faked a smile and walked away. The professionalism of a service industry. Sian. It's just that I don't know how to react. Service with a smile, to show that her feedback doesn't apply.

Last time got scolded by a customer too, cos they were waiting for a table for 4, and I put in 2s. He started to teach me how to organise the tables. Like I can predict the future and can just ask customers to change table halfway. Can he just take over my job?

Just felt like saying I don't want to be attendant anymore. I want to quit already. Quite tired of it liao. But I know I won't so soon. It's like not waitress, then attendant. So boring. =( I don't mind if the customers are nice. It seems the slackest but you have to deal with customers.

But then some customers are just so understanding that you really want to give them their seat.

Omg, I am stil awake. I off tomorrow, but then have to wake up early too. Cousin getting married. Although I don't even know how he looks like, can't recall.

Yay, two more half days and off again!! =D

I am supposed to quit by the end of this month. BUT I am still here.

Friday, May 14, 2010

Rejected.

Receiving news from universities. But all are rejections. My only chance now is NTU. But I guess I will be rejected too?

Sometimes I cannot understand customers. When there are big groups, they will keep complaining that we keep sitting the twos. When they are a group of two, they will complain that there is an empty table over there, why can't they just take that. -.-

Life seems harder day by day. There are more stuff and problems compared to last time. I want to study so badly now. But if really I get into a U, I would want to finish school quickly right.

It's weekend again. And full days on Sat and Sun. Good luck to me. I will survive. Tomorrow night will be a lonely night. There will be Rachel.

So many people's birthday in May. Gideon, Soo, Jin Han, May, etc.

After many tries. See how much it shrunk.



Fujibe-san is back from Japan, with gifts.

People have Monday blues, we have Weekend blues. The busiest time of the week. And during break, there might be guests in VIP room. So that means lunch in kitchen. Sad sia. Get a stool and all squeeze at the back, next to a dustbin. And might get in the way of the chef too.

Imitating people these few days. With the oneigaishhhimas, FENG Fei!! and WHAT A SHAME!

I feel like going out.

Wednesday, May 05, 2010

Just Work.

Hmmm. What has happened these two week..?? Can't remember much now. Just work and work I guess.

Last Friday, Karen-san asked what size of uniform I am wearing, I thought she was giving me extra tee. She gave us the polo tee. We are seniors now.

A new manager, May, joined on Sat too.

Attendant for past few days. Met many customers. Some just didn't want to wait for their friends to be seated. I've met two since I started, that they were so jidong until they want to cry already. I also don't like those taitai. Ramen-runner on Monday night.

And Fujibe-san has gone back to Japan for more than one week.

Had our first The Others outing yesterday. Watched Ip Man 2. Quite nice leh. Then went Sushi Buffet.

Quite a few new staff.

Ramen Craze.

Firstly, GO HERE HERE HERE NOW to vote for Ippudo!!! http://www.hungrygowhere.com/top10/Ramen/
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/top10/Ramen/
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/top10/Ramen/
LOL.

Ramen tasting everywhere!! Hehe. Been to Santouka last week and to Tampopo today. But nowhere seems better than Ippudo. Opps. But seriously, I'm very sick of Shiro. I still love Karaka and my record was 3 kae dama of Karaka. (equals four portions of noodles, 400g of noodles) =)

@ Cuppage Terrace.

My Kara Miso.

I put the ingredients in myself. Looks not bad right. Maybe I can be transferred to the Ramen counter to garnish their Ramen. =)

Tampopo.

Finally finished Jiaxin's present.




Class gathering on Saturday. Dinner at Manhattan. Then watched Kiss Ass. Quite gross lor.

The girls.

Ballet lessons have been quite fun. A break next week!! Yay!!

Finally half days this and next week, only one full. Mondays are so boring nowadays cos no people. Oh no, we are declining.

Dennis is back. And there are many rookies. Hmmm. Okay.

There is currently a voting for Top 10 Ramen Restaurant in Singapore. And Ippudo is 3rd. Only 2 votes away from 2nd now. Please help to vote!! HEHE! Please click here and vote for IPPUDO if you haven't already done so. Not the rest!!!! LOL!!! Hurry vote now. Tampopo is leading by a lot, tried it just now. Eh.. Anyway, go Ippudo! HAHA!


My working shoes have holes. One on sole and one large hole by the side. Both on the left. So, I bought a new pair today!! It's black!! Actually my previous one was denim, dark dark blue. =)


END work le!!

I'd like to see Ippudo get 2nd. Heh.

Tuesday, April 06, 2010

Busy Today.

Finally Ramen Runner-ed on Saturday after a long time. Pamela visited our restaurant.

Wah. Busy day today. LOL! Met Guzheng Excos for picnic at Botanic Gardens this morning at 8.30. And I slept at 1 last night. I am able to wake up surprisingly. Even faster than to go for work. Saw real swans. Lol. Picnic-ed near swan lake. Nice name. The last time I went there was like went I was a kid? Maybe 6 years old? Lol. I barely have memories of it.




Then went off to meet Jiaxin, Marilene and Clement to visit our rival restaurant, Nantsuttei. There was a queue. We peeped in, quite a small restaurant, and we saw Gen-san and Miyazaki-san. So excited. Haha. Their queue moves fast, faster than ours. The lady behind us were talking about this restaurant in Mandarin Gallery having a longer queue with nice ramen too. And I saw the flowers sent by Ippudo. Friendly competition, eh? Heh. We ordered 4 different ramen, the rice and the gyoza. Mine was Golden Curry Ramen. Nice. But I like our noodles better. But the soup is different, fresher I guess- quite sick of ours from all the staff meals. Jiaxin and I felt like shouting too. All the Ni mei sama desu, Ramen oneigaishimasu. And the jap attendant came and asked us, "You work in Ippudo?" Then we said ya. Felt quite 'familiar' in the shop.

From Staff of Ippudo.

Theirs is automated. But I think chef cook themselves looks more pro.

Nice curry soup lor. We have this bowl in our restaurant too.

Back in Ippudo, the first bowl from the left, on the second last row.

We got this free gift- looks likes Kohei-san.

Then rushed off to meet Pamela and Jacyln, to buy our leotards for Ballet. And went Ballet lesson. Today we learnt stretching. Okay. Haha.


Worked 2 hours OT on Saturday. And left with queue outside restaurant. Felt quite bad. But 4 consecutive full days can just kill me.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Pissed.

Okay, I must admit that my mood is not good these two days.

Anyway, Stefanie Sun came Ippudo on Monday again. There was no queue this time.

Hmmm. How long more can we tolerate? Heh. Maybe one day we will burst and they will die. Don't expect people to be there and always help you.

I miss those who left Ippudo a lot. Without them is really not fun anymore. And the others are not on the floor anymore. And more has quit, more are quitting. Well, it's just about 2 months more right? I have worked there for almost 4 months now. I don't plan to quit yet. I don't want to find another job.

I dropped 3 things yesterday. First the SOL beer bottle, which bubbled and wet the floor. Luckily it didn't break. I wonder how Matsuoka-san could still laugh at me. And saw that his bag was a little wet and laughed at me again. He is very forgiving. This GM is sometimes scary but cute most of the time. He was learning English during my break and started practising. He uses Singlish now.. "Sorry arh." Learning the bad things.

Secondly, I dropped the menu during the quiet period. It dropped flat on the ground. So loud. So paiseh. And then I dropped the crusher. Luckily not the plate.

Wah, don't drop, don't drop. Drop then 3 times in a day.

Went YMCA with Pamela and Jaclyn just now for Adult Ballet for Beginners. Yes, Ballet. Haha. 12 lessons only. Have to buy leotards and stuff. Spend money again. Today's lesson is only talking.

Finally finished watching 下一站,幸福. It's a nice show.

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Passed Audition.

It's PAYDAY!! This is the earliest we ever got our pay. Heh. I thought have to get it at night. But it is ready by evening. =D

Applied for uni.

Went for a social ballroom dance audition with Pamela last Thursday at NUS. It is called Viva Latinus. I didn't really feel that well before that at work. Haha. But after the dance, better cos kind of exercised, fever after that. Didn't know how I survived Friday's full day. Haha. Went to NUS and got lost. Well, I saw the FASS building, which I guess I can't make it. I have not danced for two years. Haha. Rusty already. Ballet will start next week. Heheh. I miss performing. I miss dancing.

And they sent an e-mail yesterday saying we got in. But I cannot make it. So I rejected it. And my mum don't really like, I guess. I like their dress. But I think work is more important for now.


KARAKA!!!! <3

There is a new manager/supervisor who is more junior than me. LOL! He is quite nice, I think.

There is a Japanese media crew in the restaurant today. Filming kitchen and floor. President came down. Me, Jun Siong and Karen-san got interviewed. Nervous.

Today thanks to the photo shoot, we get to try a lot of food. Goma Q, B.Tofu, Tonkotsu Croquette, Dashimaki Tamago, etc. I tried one tonk croq, which costs maybe $3-$4 for one ball.

This week's chef special is Fisher Man. And yesterday while promoting, I said "Would you like to try the chef's special, Fisherman's Friend? Lol.

It's kind of sad too. Working hard everyday. And it feels like I have not seen and talked to my brothers for days. I don't really know how they are.

Friday, March 12, 2010

Stars.

Stefanie Sun came to Ippudo on Monday. I attended to her. =) Counter 4. Everyone was quite excited but doesn't show it- Professional. =b That time Mark Lee came too. Many artistes came too- Chen Li Zhen, Chen Han Wei, Rui En, Zhang Yao Dong, etc. Not bad working here, eh? Hehe.

Tuesday went dinner with Jiaxin, Clement and Marcus. Played arcade too.

Work everyday. Nelvin, Melissa and Gracia's last day tomorrow. =(

Jiaxin and I are the most senior part timers on floor now, since Jin Han is working in the kitchen these few days. Higher expectations? Min Ho is back! Soo is coming back too.

It's Saturday tomorrow again!!! NOOOO! The busiest day of the week and I am working FULL!

Group photos again, yesterday. =D

Not bad arh, 2sec timer, and I could run to the back.


I don't know what and how to apply to U. Scared I can't get in too. I feel that my results are not good enough. But compared to my results for the past two years, it is the first time I pass. But then again, it can hardly get me anywhere.

Friday, March 05, 2010

Known.

Hmmm. Okay. Brother Paul's speech was quite torturous. Haha. The more he say, the scarier. To the classroom, really didn't want to get the results.

I don't know. It's not very bad, but not good as well. I don't know where to go and what to do. I can't get into FASS, that's what I know. Never mind.

Off day. Went back Ippudo for dinner. Many were concerned. Love the pork bun and calpis a lot. Haha. Tried Ramen Cyampuru and Agedasi Tofu. Back to work tomorrow. Ohh, it's a Saturday. The most busy day of the week.

HAHAHAHAHAH. My uncle just called and asked if I got my results today. (I thought oh no, nothing good.) Then he asked straight away, "How many As?" None. "Bs?" Don't have. Then I said Cs. He asked how many. -.- Then "Can get into U?" Forget it lar, nothing to hide anyway. He has a smart son mah. Then he asked for my father who is not home. Excuses? HAHA!

I felt okay before that okay. Thanks arh. (for the concern too)

This kind of feeling sucks. Happy that you improved but unsure if you can go anywhere.

The passenger service area is so scary now. Infested with those bank people who wants you to do surveys and stuff. I hate walking pass that area now.

D Day.

5 March 2010. A Friday. An off day. The results day- the day that determines. No matter how much I don't want it to come, it has came.

4 Mar. Work full day. Lots of spelling errors. Lol. First vegetarian, then sesame, then mussels. Lol. Forget it. Hehehe.

Not attendant today. Just a normal server. But then, I'm tired. I took V Room order. Heh.

Group photo after work today. Forgot to bring camera, only phone. Next time bah.

Night shift.


Sleepy. But after sleep, it will be so much closer to results.

I don't know. People are worried if they can get their As. But I am thinking if I can get passes.

Don't know what Brother will say. Don't know what the teachers will say, will they be disappointed or happy?

Tuesday, March 02, 2010

Results are coming out.

So confirm Friday is our results day. I don't have much feelings and expectations about that. Maybe just let nature take its own course, maybe feels no hope? Or maybe I will only get nervous and scared on the day itself or maybe the day before? But then again, what do I do after that? Where can I go? I shall think about that after I get my results.

I got annoyed when my dad asked if I can retake A Levels. I haven't even got my results and you are saying that I will fail? I don't have confidence in my 'A's. But rather than having no confidence in me too, why can't you just encourage me? Or is that concern in another way?

Okay, I shall not think about it anymore, till the day itself.

Met guzheng exco on Sunday. Dinner that Crystal Jade.

KARAKA Staff Meal again yesterday. Yay!! When they announced that can choose Shiro, Aka and Karaka during the meeting, I smiled, and Karen-san laughed at me, said I smiled until so happy. Haha, hope they can make me happy more often. Hehe. And koped nori (seaweed) from Gideon and Kohei-san added additional topping- negi into our bowls. The taste of the onion is quite strong, destroyed my soup.

Full day attendant. Monday not so busy. Did a bit of cashier yesterday. Luckily tally arh. Haha. And first time swipe the credit card, normally the few I tender has the chip. Haha. And tore the receipt thing a bit. Opps. Haha.

Off day today and Friday. Wow, got a lot of sleep today. Happy. =)

Thursday changed to full day, replace Sayaka. Hmmm. I guess it's good too. I think after a day of work on Thursday, I can sleep right away without thinking about anything? Haha.

Thinking of quitting in maybe two months time, together with The Others. But what if my results... Hmmm. Two months seems like a long time. But look, three months has almost passed. And time is passing faster and faster each day. And at that time, I guess at that time I will not bear to leave. Lol. We said that we will meet up soon, but till now, no outing/gathering. Hmmm.. How?

On second thought, I'm scared.

Saturday, February 27, 2010

Attendance whole day myself.

KARAKAMEN Staff Meal today!! =DD My favourite ramen. Kae-dama-ed.

Wow, almost one week of afternoon shift. Finally one morning shift, and it's FULL day! Quite hard to wake up early morning. Afternoon again tomorrow. Full day attendance today. No Matsuoka-san. A lot of new people, everything moved quite slow. The queue U-turned, but the total number of guests not a lot. Wah, see the queue so long, must admit that I really felt stress. There was an instance when I thought I don't want to attend anymore. I can't believe I pull through. Luckily no happy hour, if not even more confusing. Customers are generally nice and patient today. Only one or two groups which had black faces while waiting.

Actually I've seen it quite a number of times. Groups of 4, confronting me, saying that they will never get a seat cos I keep letting 2s go first. But luckily they were quite understanding, but still not that happy. I feel quite bad when they wait for so long too. I guess the reason why I don't really like attendance is that I don't like the responsibility, any wrong decision will make customers wait. But seriously speaking, being an attendance is a very good experience- both interaction with customers (and dealing) and planning of tables.

Nelvin reminded me that I was the most experienced or most senior (happened to be the oldest as well) of the floor staff. Helped him count money just now. First time counting. I learnt how to count a bit now. Yay, tally!

I don't know what is wrong with my wireless. There's some problem.

Created an Ippudo facebook group.

People are quitting again. Cos poly is opening soon. And soon there will only be us, the older people, left.

Why people keep mixing up Jiaxin and my name? Haha.

Monday, February 22, 2010

Twitch.

Don't know why.. My right top eyelid kept twitching since I started work in the afternoon just now. Especially when I just started work and now.

Today's attendance was quite okay. Quite fun actually. And plus it was a short day.

Friday's one was bad. I think cos I was tired and not in a very attendance mood.

Wow, these few days and coming few days, all afternoon shifts. Can get a lot of sleep. =D

Missed 6Joy's gathering today cos of work. Aww.

Omg, results is out in like 1/2 weeks' time? Can I not get it please? I haven't been thinking of it for these 3 months or so. I don't even want to think about that. And time passed so quickly. It is passing faster and faster. It's going to be payday again soon. So fast.

Jiaxin said JJ Lin came to our restaurant yesterday at 12plus. I started work at 4. So never see. =( Has seen many actresses/actors and DJs etc.

"One aka kae-dama, kae-dama" and everyone laughed. No, no, katameh. First thing I did for the day's work made so many people laugh at me. Then Gen-san was like "One kae-dama? Not two?" And he laughed at me till the end of the day.

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Starting over again.

初三。

Cleared almost all the houses in the first day. Father and mother's side. Di and I wore the same pattern of clothes- black/white checkered. And.. Many relatives thought I was the youngest in the family, they thought my younger brother was older than me. Lol. Maybe he is so much taller, that's why.


One of the houses is 50 storeys high. Went to the rooftop garden on the 50th floor.

That's my younger brother.

Went only one house yesterday. Then had class gathering yesterday at Gensen's house. Saw quite a few without hair. Just talked and ate. Then Gensen treated us MOS.


After that, went PS. To continue with our surprise. Bought cake, and went Istana there to find Jiaxin, the birthday girl. Lighted the candles and walked around finding them. Lol. Wind quite strong, so had to cover the flame. Marilene looked quite funny. But the surprise was a success. Went Giraffe to eat after that.

Love! My les partner! HAHAAHA!


Have work later. Not supposed to have. But anyway, so many days of break already. Just that I can't go for my primary school class gathering later. Oh well. Next time then.

That time I got a starry staff meal salad from Nick. Haha. A lot a lot of mayo!
