random update.

You know what sux the most bout being in a service industry?


THE GUESTS ARE ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS RIGHT.
Even when they're not! And most of the time, they are not!! And its soo frustrating. Coz there's nothing, absolutely nothing you can do about it.


The next best thing to do when the guest complain is to apologize and smile.. Walk away and as far away from that table until that table is not in sight, then curse the living shit outta that table or that person.. When you're ready to walk back out, take a deep breath. Coz you will need a lot of it to face them. You never know you might just get into another complain. Thats F&B. Not that great after all.


Whenever I face a situation and get yelled at ( it happens. freaky? yes), I would start thinking..
WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WORKING IN A RESTAURANT?

WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE??


And I dont have the answer to the questions. I dont. I cant say passion coz this is not my passion. Cuisine is. Food is. Writing is. Not running a restaurant.


As you can see, whenever I update my blog, it'll be about f&b. I live and breathe fridays. Andy Dhillon said I should live and breath bedrocks but naaaaaaahhhh.. I live and breath fridays. haha.


I am lifeless in general.
I work 10 hours a day. Maybe more.
One off day a week. Sometimes I dont get off.
I work in Fridays Sunway.
I meet alot of shitty people.
Most shitty people are chinese (no offence) but its true.
Some malays are fussy. SOME!
Im not descriminating. I dont do that.
I dont have a decent social life.
I havent seen my good college frens in many many moons.
The only time I get to see them is when they come and visit me.
And they do visit me.
And I appreciate it lots.
I dont see my bf often.
Sometimes I dont see him the whole month.
This is because he works morning shift most of the time.
And I work 12-10 pm most days.
And that sux.
We would fight.
Sometimes not talk for a whole week.
And that sux but its okie.
So life sux in general.
I think one of my close fren is not talking to me.
I dont know why.
Feels like high school all over again.
Anyhow, whatever je la.
Malas nak terhegeh-hegeh.

I wonder.

I think I am blessed. Am I? I dont know. Put aside the fact that I dont have time for myself, I actually have a good life now. Im working. A good post. A sort of good pay. And hey! Im just 21. I am happy in some weird ways.


Ever since I started working, I see things in a different perspective. I think. I thought I had bad temper but I guess I dont. Coz I work in a service industry where I have to meet alot of people. People with different characteristics and different needs. And some are more difficult that the other. But I managed it just find. There was never a moment where I totally lost it. Nope. I learn to listen, apologize, respond and say thank you.


Its not easy. Because you will definately meet people who most definately piss the living shit out of you. No doubt. But you have to control. I have to control. Why? This is my rice bowl. Be nice to people, and they will be nice to you. A cliche motto but true.


Whenever Im in a situation where I have to deal with difficult people, I wonder, why would they make a-would-be-easy-situation-difficult.. I wonder if it makes them happy. Being difficult that is. Or does it make them feel great coz they have the guts to argue. I really wonder.


I know some may have gone abroad to study but again I wonder, if you dont possess good manners when it comes to dining or interacting with people you dont know, I really think the money you spent studying far far away, a waste.


Whats the point of blaja tinggi2 and jauh-jauh if attitude mcm pantat ayam? I WONDER! Tak de faedahnya ckp kasar dgn orang. You have nothing to gain but everything to lose. ish. I wonder.

Las Carretas.

Ish.. Liat betul rasa nak update blog. Mcm whenever I wanna blog, Ive got nothing to say. And its crap tau.


Im off today. So thats good I guess. I havent had off for 2 weeks. Today bgn lambat. Best. Dah lama x bgn lambat. Original plan was to meet Dean. But coz we've been fighting for the past 4 days, x jadi. Made plans with Zara all to have dinner. Coincidentally plk, its Ah Liao's bday. So we decided to have dinner in Las Carretas in Taipan. Its a Mexican restaurant. It was great. Great food. Great company. All was great. I havent had fun for the longest time. Too bad Reuben and Akila couldnt make it. It woulda been better.


Honestly, x de mood nak blog. Toodles ~

I havent been updating my blog. I miss writing. I havent had the time to blog. All I do now is work. It is that demanding. Its really tiring.


Lets talk bout today, shall we? Hmm. I went to work around 12pm. Saturday. Grr. Slammed. Had no time to eat. Had to entertain guests all day long. Lateeer on the night, Denise called. She said she was outside. She came to bring me over to Bar Celona. Ah Liao's birthday celebrating. Oh joy. I forgot. I told her I was about to finish work and asked her if she could wait. She said to call her when Im leaving. So ok. Bagus la tu.


Lepas habis keje pg clubbing. Haih. For a while only. It was alright. Not bad. Met Zara, kyky, renna, andre, ika, justin and wayne there. Had fun.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AH LIAO!!!!!!
So ok. Sunway is not as bad as thought it would be. Its actually alot of fun. But I do miss PJ tho. I had a blast there. A family. Life goes on.
