100th Post / Working experience

Yes this is the 100th post of this blog.

From happyinthecastle ( which i really really regret deleting it) to extra-ordinary to desirableoutcome. Time really flies huh?

Am currently promoting moon cake till this Sunday. 3 week of work this time round. Every time i work, i learnt new things.

I am only 18+ year old ( few more months to 19 though) and i think my working experience is kind of amazing. My first job was LovelyDeArt at Causewaypoint i quit after less than 2 week because i don't like being restricted. Everything i do is under the observation of some girl that is only a few years older than me. To add on , in that shop you will only have friends if you are talkative and outgoing and well , know how to boot lick perhaps. That happened weeks after my O level and after he fly off .

After that job , Jolene sms me to go for an interview as waitress in Mandarin Orchard ( was called Meritus Mandarin that time) . Was reluctant at first because my parents think i wont last for 3 days as a waitress. Who knows, i think one quarter of my life change because of this job. Jolene and i had hell lots of fun ( i hope she feel that way) at the start of our job. Because our job were just to pack chocolate. We ate as we pack. Haha sounds legit. After that Christmas period we were asked to choose between CnC or Mandarin Court ( formally called Pine court) because we were actually running up and down everyday. Still remember i worked more that 12 hour in one day ; morning help in Deli counter plus Coffee and Crust then 5.30pm went to help in Pine court. But back then , i was happy, really happy. I don't know why maybe because i have never seen so many different kind of people in my life. When the chefs or whoever walk past you in the locker area most of them will smile and chit chat with you. That was a nice feeling. But well , things change when we are close to a group of people another will have something to say. That was when conflict in Pinecourt happen. After i stop working in Pine Court i went back to Coffee and Crust because there was still 1 month before my year 1 start. And from then , i worked for them for 3 consecutive Christmas. I am just a passer-by to many but i am truly grateful for everything that happen there. And nope , i don't think i will go back there anymore. But the hospitality industry is definitely an industry i am looking forward to.

In between the 3 Christmas , i worked for Isetan in 2011 and Robinson in 2012. Good memories and well Robinson is definitely the slackest most relaxing and no pressure job ever.

Right now, i am working for Bengawan Solo. Many asked: Why the down grade? The most realistic answer i will give is that i need money to go to Taiwan. But not just that , working in big organisation can indeed be tiring at times you need to greet many people regardless of when you are in the lift , cafeteria, locker area and even the toilet. You need to look out/ avoid people you don't like or people whom don't like you. You need to face awkward situation of standing in the lift with someone who use to be friends with you but now enemy. In small shop house, you just need to face that few people. But you do need to be prepared , if they all don't like you then it will be like hell because you cant go to others. Apparently most liked me well at least that is what i feel lah. haha. There is two idiots though , ungrateful idiots in the shop currently. But i wont take it in heart because they are pitiful idiots. Okay i might sound harsh here but they are really ungrateful. I am nice enough to change my timing with them although i had other things in mind but when i want to change, no one bother. See? We need to see who is worthy of being nice to. Some really doesn't worth our niceness.

From happyinthecastle to the me right now , i think i learnt and changed. And i do realise the importance of having friends. True friends. Going to meet them up after my work and before going to Taiwan. And some after i come back from Tw.

Bye <3
