its been elephant yrs since ive blogged. i dont know where to start jus blame it on my stubborn com which still chose to break down after repairs. spent ard freaking 300 bucks la. i almost burst out at the technician when he said i need to send the com down AGAIN for repair.
many events happened but i cant rmb. most significant was I WAS PROMOTED! woots. but the rank pts were ugly and wasnt satisfying. frm here i conclude EFFORT is NT = RESULTS. im actually very glad tt day tt i didnt disappoint my friends and family who were all so supportive and hopeful for me. Thanks to all those tt did :)before i got the results i was freaking out, very worried tt history wld repeat. serious, nvr before was i so insecure and helpless. i had the thought of giving up but Mr Haniss gave me assurance. he asked me TO HAVE FAITH. and i did. Mr Lawrence also helped to boost my confidence. really appreciated.
then after is some emotional confusion tt i really dont wanna say it here..
and i was really determined to get a job over this holiday and i asked 3sa to go for the interview with me. surprisingly we got in on the spot. i guess they really need helpers. it was very stressful for first timer and i really had no clue as to wad was expected of me. many uncertainties and insecurities i hav to overcome. actually i didnt work for money. i jus wanted the experience and take challenges. true enough, it is VERY CHALLENGING.
we had trgn on thu and immediately start work on the same day. they didnt had their employees welfare at heart. how are u suppose us to get onto the job when u didnt instruct us specifically wad to do and ask someone to guide us along. they jus left us and we were scolded for some things which were too much. like how do u expect us to know it shld be done in this way when u didnt even tell us to. i know they wanted to be strict but sometimes it jus pissed me off. female managers got a PROBLEM with tt. but Ester was the exception. but luckily Siew Lin taught me some things and i sort of get the hang of it. still the jap woman had not enough of us. somehow i still like the job itself. i jus hate the politics part where they didnt spare a thought for us.i dont know why but i like the thrill of being able to multi-task and do things really fast. and their culture of being answered when u request something. its the kind of comfort u feel when u are being heard and recognised when they shout across the restaurant. little things like when u are helpless, ur fellow colleague help u automatically w/o being requested.
this is esp felt on fri. it was full day mind you. which is 12pm - 11pm. can u imagine im jumping bonkers. and they didnt even put me and 3sa at the same break la. eating 2 hrs alone without someone u can complain to is torturous. day shift is usually alright, night time is the real mad-ness. the business was really GOOD. over-flowing of customers and had not enough tables. super busy, i practically fly frm table to table to do those odd tasks. but i think its exciting.. i dont know why. the guy manager was nice to help me take over those customers with difficult requests and can u imagine i hav to resort to looking for comfort frm little thankyous by them. Alvin's little laughter did cheer up the atmosphere when we were both 'fighting' over to set the table afew times. ya it was quite fun and i was satisfied when i can finally rmb to say billing properly as okanjyo. truely the hardest part was the Japanese. comeon la i wasnt born a Jap or very language incline to start with, of course they must be lenient to me. but not all are, esp the monster manager. Jessi is still very blur even having worked there for some time. im puzzled at times too whether she's chinese coz she doesnt seem to understand me. and her voice is freaking soft i cant hear even aft her umpteen repeats. she's jus soft-spoken unlike some others tt can bite u. really i see 2 sides of them. one of the female manager, i cant figure her out. at work she was really mean but after work she was actually NORMAL. as in she showed concern and not so cold-blooded afterall. this is damn scary as u wldnt want to step on her toes, but she felt like an aunt to me. k i shldnt start finding families there.. but the sad thing is 3sa is quiting. i know she cant tolerate it anymore. poor her, i felt guilty intro-ing her w/o knowing how tough it is. but now im left alone there, how? i still enjoy the work but nt the long hrs.. i shall request for half-days otherwise i cant survive. u wont imagine tt i get aches all over even the fingers the nxt day. its even worse than t rug trgn can! but i must be determine to continue, must perservere and buffed up myself. unless they cant agree to my request than i can jus leave. i cant afford to sacrifice my studies for this part-time job. but i did taste the bitterness of working and reap much experiences, tts the most imp part.
