finally back here...recently, was either waking up too late to do any decent updates or was back home too early in the morning to think of anything to write. alas, the opportunity~!!

finally my parttime work as a waiter is comin to an end on this comin wednesday. recent events has made my departing easier as well as smoother. one of the events is the consistent realisation of the incompete leadership that my current outlet manager possess.(as do my usual practice no real names will be used, unless special extreme emotions are used.)

there is usually a beat or rhythm at the workplace. the most important thing is to pick up that beat and rhythm. for him, he will always be the deaf one. grabbing anyone he can find to do things he thinks needs to be done. and he is the one that keeps bullshitting about doin specialised task for each person. a person who preaches but doesnt hold his end well.

and boy does he like to preach. he can continually 'brief' the new waiter staff for time that seemed too long(in the context of a waiter). jus to illustrate the point that he like to talk so much. he can chat and take orders for jus a single table in the time that i used to take orders for 2 tables, fulfil them and still have time to look at him and frown. wondering who died and made him manager?

he is always covered with 1001 paperwork but he nv has the discipline to work quietly. if anyone jus drops by for a chat, one word, Venus flytrap. he is jus always doin the wrong thing at the wrong time spotted by the wrong person. he shld jus quit man, he is not cut for this manager material. he is still a few more metres short of it. and he wonders why is the lowest paying manager around.

well there have been happy things as well as things upsetting. the resturant has been havin many batches of new waiter and waiteress mostly china students studying here. and i have been dumped with the task for being their trainer and becos it seems that i am doin a hell of a good job.

one of the staff grew quite attached to me recently. her name 周晶. she is from wu han province of china and studys in Ngee Ann ECE. she grew so attached that she suggested to be my younger sister. hey, VEN if you are reading this. yes~you have another sister. the reason why she was so attached to me? becos i remind her of her dad. o.0 yes, wat a nice thing to say to a guy. its not so much that i look like her dad, but rather i talk and call her is like her dad. long story...

current, sister count is two. one jus flew over to aus and the other is goin back to china to visit her parents next month. this morning while i was telling my princess about this, i noticed an alarming similiarities between this 2 sister of mine. both was born in Oct 1986 and studys or had studied in Ngee Ann Poly. weird huh? i guess i jus click with this super particular and specific bunch of people. :)
