Gin with ice and lemon

Jong was so mean to me last night. I was shocked because usually he was very nice and we joked with each other all the time. First I ordered a glass of Gin. Romen make it and gave me the Gin with ice and lemon. After 20 minutes, i ordered another Gin. Then, when i went to the bar to collect my drink, Jong looked 'not happy'.

Jong : Hey !! What is this? What do u want with the Gin?
Me : huh??
Jong : Ice?? Lemon??
Me : Of cos. Gin always come with ice and lemon.
Jong : Then you should put a message on the system - Gin with ice and lemon.
Me : But this is common sense. Gin ALWAYS come with ice and lemon.

Then Federick, the bar manager came.

Federick : Hei, what happened here?
Jong : Ask her !
Me : What !! Come on, all Gins come with ice and lemon ok. I dun have to put a message on the system. You should know that.
Federick : Come on, Jong just made it. Of cos Gin comes with ice and lemon.
Jong : No, we never know. Different ppl with different taste.

Maybe Jong is having his 'monthly period', thast why he is so moody.

Do you look younger or older than your actual age?

When i came to Uk 2 years ago, I realised that kwai lo look older than their actual age. a 16-year-old girl can look like a 28 years old. It is illegal to serve alcohol to anyone under 18. And many times, i served beer to under 18 because i couldnt tell the actual age from their look. They look like 28 years old instead of 17. So, it gave me a hard time as I had to check their ID before i served any alcohol.

Yesterday, I was chatting with Davide from Italy. He asked me how old I am and i asked him to guess. He said it is very hard to guess asian age because asian tend to look younger than their age. And he guessed I am 20. Many kwai lo guessed that I am 18-21 but I am already 25 years old. This is one of the many advantages being a chinese. I feel so proud to be an asian.

Asian will think that kwai lo look older than their actual age while kwai loo will think the other way.

I want to go home

OMG, I m missing Penang so much. I miss everyone in Penang. I want to go back Penang !! I miss the sunshine. I miss the food. I miss the beach. I miss everything ! Last Friday, I had a table of 2 ladies - one dark and one fair skin. Very nice ladies. From their look, I guessed they are from Thailand. I served them very well because they are very nice and polite. At the end of their meal, our conversation begin.

Dark lady : Where are you from?
Me : Malaysia
Dark lady : Oh really. thats where we are from too.
Me : (Excited) Oh, I was quiet suprised
Fair lady : Suprise? Where do u think we are from?
Me : Hong Kong (I don know why i said HK !??!). So which part of Malaysia are u from?
Dark lady : Penang
Me : Ahh..I am from Penang too.
Dark lady : This is funny. You served us whole night and we came from the same place. I m sure u miss all those food from Penang. Chee cheung fun, char koew teow, curry mee, nasi lemak...bla bla

I MISS PENANG !!!

My blog has no reader

I know my blog is quiet dull now because I have no photos in it. At the moment, I have no internet access at home and I am using the internet in a local library here. So it is very inconvinience for me to download the photos in the library. BTW, who cares if my blog is dull because I am sure no one is reading it now anyway. This is my first blog I started more than 1 month ago and I am still learning to be a good blogger. Anyone with good advise are welcomed here. Arigato Gozaimashu.

My new job interview

I applied for a job as a flight attendant with Cathay Pacific Airlines last month. I received their call last week and I will attend an interview in 2 weeks time. OMG ! I m so nervous. I really hope I will get the job. Because I would really love to travel and I believe I will enjoy the job as a flight attendant.

However, I did not meet one of their requirements. I hope they will not be too strict with this. I am slighty shorter than the minimun height requirement. But I speak good English, a little of Mandarin and Cantonese. In case some of you do not know, Cathay Pacific is a Hong Kong airlines but the position I applied for will be based in Heatrow Airport, London. Now the most important thing is, I need to slim down a bit. Maybe I need to lose 2-3 kgs. Hopefully, I can manage this in 2 weeks.

£20 tips

I feel so much better now. Forget about Boyd, the asshole now. Anyway, I get £20 tips from Table 44. Table 44 is actually Sanya, Jong and another korean lady. They left me £20 and I tried to give back to Sanya but they insisted me to take it. I feel so guilty because i didnt serve them very well. I was quiet busy with my other tables and i didnt concentrate on table 44 because i thought 'nah...they are not going to complain. They are the staffs here as well'. Now they left so much tips, i feel so guilty for making them wait so long for the main course.

Shit face idiot !!

I hate Boyd. Who the hell do u think you are? You are just a supervisor with a stupid accent and you think u are a smart asshole! You didnt even give me a chance to explain and you shouted at me in front of so many customers in a restaurant. I did not shout back, not because i am scared of u, but because i am being very pro and member of staffs are not suppose to SHOUT in a restaurant. In case you do not know, Boyd, as an acting manager shouting in a restaurant in front of full customers make u look very un-pro and STUPID. Yeah, STUPID you IDIOT !

I've been waiting for the Rainbow rolls and Soft Shell Crab rolls for ages. These rolls are for table 44. I checked the table, then i checked with the kitchen twice. TWICE i tell you. When these rolls are ready, Ricardo took it to the wrong table. These rolls are meant for my table 44. And when Ricardo realised the mistake, he asked the kitchen to make a new one for table 44 but as the kitchen is closing, they have no sushi rice left. Thats make matter worse. And then Boyd came, not understanding the whole situation and thought he is the damn smart asshole. He started to blame me for not checking. He came out with a full shit of reasons saying that I should check everything. 'Why didnt I check, that is my table, i should check, bla bla bla'. I said I CHECKED TWICE. All your reasons are full of bullshits !

Why did he shout at me? Just because he is a supervisor, does that give him the permission to shout at me? Why did he shout at me and not Ricardo? It was Ricardo who make the mistake. Did he shout at me because I am new. Did he shout at me because I started well and get good attention from the general Manager. Are you jealous?

Come on, Boyd. Learn to speak proper English if you want to be the General Manager. How old are you? You look old enough to be a 35-year-old father and you are just a supervisor. LOSER !!

And you tried to act cute with the little girl who came with her parents last Saturday. Puh-lezzz-la. You looked like SHIT. I wanna PUKE !!

Fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner

My hubby went to Poole last Monday to visit a friend. Unfortunely I did not join him as I had to work. *sobs, sobs*. They went fishing and they managed to catch few fishes. My hubby took back 5 large fishes and of cos he kept the largest 4 for me. *greedy*. And I had fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner !! for 2 days ! Yesterday and today.

1st day at work

I started a new job on Monday as a waitress in a Japanese Restaurant. Well, I met Sasha, which is a very nice girl from 'somewhere near Russia'. She is the most friendly person I ever met. She explained to me a lot of things about the restaurant. Next is Boyd, the supervisor there and he came from Thai. He speak the worst English I ever heard. I wonder how he managed to become a supervisor with this kind of English. OMG, in fact i dun understand a single word he said - 'They torler is ak the otter size of the res-store-rank''. It took me so long to figure out that sentence...pluh-lez la Boyd, let me teach u. It is 'The toilet is at the other side of the restaurant'. Then, we have Tomomi from Japan. I dont like her. Lansi lanyong there, as if she is the prettiest girl alive. With a big black mole on her upper lips. I have a mole on my upper lips too. But hers is way so big and ugly, honestly. LCLY !! There is Jong - a Korean and Sanya - a Thai. I think both are nice (for now). Then, there are Anna and Romen - both from Poland. I think they are OK - no comment at the moment. There are others but I have no comment about them at the moment.

Mr. Pang was murdered !!

OMG ! This is shocking. I received an email from Christine and Christina saying that Mr. Pang was murdered and the news is out in both The Star and Kwang Hwa. Mr. Pang was my Maths Lecturer during my Diploma time in KDU. He was a good and strict, very strict lecturer. And I was so shocked to hear this news. I hope the police will solve the case soon. And may Mr. Pang rest in peace.

New house

I did not have internet access for the past few days that's why there's no posting since last Saturday. I moved to a new house on Sunday, which I believe will be a great place to live in. I will be staying on my own for 2 weeks before my husband will come and join me. He has to give 2 weeks notice period before he can leave his current job, and take up a new job offer in London. So, the good news is I get the whole double bed for myself. Yippie !!

One of the ugliest Miss HK

I am quiet free these few days as I will only start my new job next week. I have been watching a lot of DVDs for the past few days. A lot of the TVB series. The first I watched was Brink of Law. No comment for this drama. One of the leading actress is Kate Tsui. I quiet like her character in the drama and i googled her name only to find out that she was the winner of Miss HK Pageant 2004. Well, she looked OK on her winning night. Just OK.

Kate on her winning night of Miss HK Pageant 2004

My opinion changed after I watched the second drama - The Price of Greed. OMG !! I would like to say that Kate is very UGLY. Too UGLY for a Miss HK winner. And she cant act either. Her acting skill in The Price of Greed was horrible. HORRIBLE !! She cried like SHIT and she acted like SHIT. Just watch The Price of Greed and you will agree.

The Price of Greed

Also, I found that Kate's look resembles Maggie Cheung. I mean Maggie Cheung when she was 20 years old. Well, Maggie cant act either when she first entered the showbiz industry but she is one of the best chinese actress in the world now. So, we never know what Kate might turn into.


Doesnt she look like Maggie Cheung?
