All about my new job
Hey pple!
sorry i took so long to update.. just been real real bz n stuff...
ok.. as u noe i work in this jap restaurant called nishiki..on sats 11am-2.30pm, 6-10pm n suns 6-10 pm...
after working for like 1 day i finally realised how tired i was... so i'm dropping d sat night shift cos i find that i dun haf time to study n do my hwk...so yeah..
anyway my 1st day of work was kinda fun...well i could only say that for d lunch shift cos pple there r much nicer. All d colleagues n pple working there r japanese... except for Alice (whom i met in d night shift on sat..well even she can speak fluent jap even though she's frm taiwan!) n this china girl (on d sun night shift).
well i still felt really extra there..i mean EVERYONE can speak jap except me..plus we had to greet customers in jap language...i haf to say IRRASHAIMASE (meaning welcome in jap) n HARRIMAS (meaning I'm coming in...i'm supposed to say that when i enter d kitchen to avoid clashing into pple..but of course i don't say it cos it sounds stupid).. at first i felt really shy n embarrassed saying Irrashaimase..plus it was SO hard to muster it..but finally on sun i conquered my fear n SAID IT! now i'm ok saying it i hope..
everyone working there r like 20 smth yrs old or older so i feel real left out..
since i'm new i can't take orders so i can only deliver food n clear food n clean d table. I came in during lunch n they gave me a tshirt n apron to wear...it was alright i guess but i concentrated too much on serving n had to be reminded constantly to clean d tables! ahahha... i don't talk to d guys who r mostly cooks cos they're scary..actually i don't really talk to anyone cos they don't really speak english..so its kinda sad..
n when i serve customers i make sure i know wat i'm serving so i'll say d name of d dish when i serve them n wear this insane grin on my face...n at first i kept saying enjoy ur meal! but now i think its silly to say it..i mean if u keep serving food to d same table n saying enjoy ur meal over n over again..i think they'll get sick of hearing it.
anyway there r some nice pple in d lunch shift like this jap girl called juko who's FOREVER smiling..so nice...so friendly...
when i came back for d night shift..she n d other nice pple were gone..in place were stern workers...n d worse part was that dinner is more complicated than lunch cos u haf to set up apparaters n equipment to put d food on it..like udon (some noodles)..i had to learn how to heat it up on d hot pot..n i kept getting d order of how to serve it wrongly..SO EMBARRASSING ok..
n by d time sun night shift came i was feeling more confident n d funny thing was that everytime i did smth wrongly infront of customers while serving i never panicked (which is so NOT me)...i learn NOT to panic in those situations cos it will juz highlight ur mistakes more...
had to clean like 50 over menus using tissue towels...so tiring..
but d time sun shift ended..my feet were throbbing n aching..
therefore on sun i told one of d girls that i would like not to work on sat night frm now on n she was quite pissed wif me...
they refer to me as d new girl cos they can't pronounce my name properly..n they love correcting me cos i make so many mistakes...wouldn't be surprised if they sacked me after 3 weeks..oh well..at least i get d $$$$$.
i've decided that i HATE working..oh well..but i can't juz quit like that. U noe on sun morning i was SO dead tired..plus i had to study for bio test which was today (mon) n i had SO SO SO much hwk!!!! i was like 'Mum...can i tell them that i don't wanna work on sun night??? i'm SO tired!'...n my mum was like 'no u can't..u haf committed to this shift so u haf to carry out ur committment no matter wat or else it would look bad on u'.. SIGH! i seriously was like so tired until i didn't really care if it was a commitment or not but i guess wat my mum says is correct.. so i juz went to work.
Anyway at work i always appear real happy..put on a happy smile even though inside i'm juz dying to sleep.
so that's my job... i'm gonna update another entry about today which is MONDAY!
pple pls tag ok...if u tag more often i'll update more often cos its juz not motivating if no one actually reads ur blog n acknowledges that.. THANX!
