I am very happy today because I am starting to love and enjoy my work even more after what has happened today! Of course, to be happy and enjoy the job that you're in, the people who are working with you play an important role. Imagine working with a group of people who are forever having the black face and they give you the feeling that they want to eat you up anytime, it's scary and it's definitely not a good working experience for anyone. I'm glad most of my colleagues are friendly and nice, they are a bunch of funny people too! I enjoy working with the majority of them, except for a few because I don't really get the chance to work with them, and when I work with them, they look too stern to approach.
Let me just share about a few incidents that happened today that made me happy during work!
Firstly, I met a new colleague today. I swear he is really annoying, but well, it's in a good way :) there's this one guy who asked me for my number because he wanted to know more about the business course in NYP, so yes, being a friendly person, I gave him my number since we're working together. And so, this new colleague of mine saw what happened and began smiling whenever he sees me. He's giving me that "something fishy is going on between the both of them". Well, an eye for an eye I guess? I disturbed him back and "scold" him whenever I catch him smiling! It's fun to work with people like him.
Secondly, I got disturbed again, by another guy -.- this time, he said that I am fat just because he managed to walk between 2 chairs which were pretty close together. I didn't want to walk passed there just in case the customers feel disturbed. Ever since that moment, he started calling me "fat women". Well, as usual, I gave him a slap on his face. This is not the first time that he has disturbed me already! He's so mean, but he's nice at times too! He's one of the closer colleagues I have in the restaurant, he taught me most of the things :)
Thirdly, I love working at the restaurant because I love to serve Caucasians. I served a few of them today and yesterday. The encounter yesterday was pretty alright I guess. There was a group of Caucasian girls who entered the restaurant and only one of them bothered to smile back at me.. Oh well, it's better than nothing I guess? I get overly overwhelmed when I get the chance to serve Caucasians! I served a cute couple today! I was lucky enough to actually be the one serving them because the guy made my day! He joked with me as I was bringing him to his seat and when he was asking for the payment, he took out a note and asked if we accept foreign dollars, and before I could even answer him, he magically transformed the note into a credit card! I was like OMG! The stunning, shocking, surprising moment of my life. I witnessed a magic trick live. It was such a quick action that I was totally caught off guard! I love him, he's an amazing customer, the best one in fact! He even made cute remarks on the order pad! It's the best order pad I've ever received! Before he left the restaurant, he actually came and looked for me and thanked me for the great hospitality that I've gave him. This made up the best part of my day today!
Lastly, I got praised by a customer! I get happy easily when I work, so yep! There was this family who wanted table for 5, but sadly, the restaurant was full house when they were there. They insisted on waiting for a table so the mum stayed at the restaurant to wait while the others went for a walk. I started talking to the lady because I feel bad for making her wait alone and wandering outside the restaurant. She asked me what are our specialties, so I recommended quite a few for her, ranging from rice to baked rice to noodles to coffee and to iced tea :) I love to give recommendations to customers, and I have no idea why. I told her that I just started to work not long ago and she praised me for knowing the menu pretty well, that totally made me smile! I was supposed to knock off at 6pm today but I stayed a little longer because I want to make sure that they get a seat before I leave. After about 20 minutes, I managed to get a table for them and I took down the order. The lady actually ordered most of the recommendations I've suggested to her and said those were good suggestions! What can be better than making your customers feel happy? I love to see customers leaving the restaurant feeling satisfied and having the mentality that, "yes, I will visit there again!"

Look at the remarks he wrote! :) He is such a funny man! |
These are the reasons why I am so happy today! ^^ My lunch today was alright, I love the curry sauce and egg (what's new?). I didn't order the curry rice actually, it was a wrong order and just nice, I was hungry and requested to have lunch. My manager told me to eat the rice since it's already cooked, we shouldn't waste food! I don't really eat fish fillet though, but I finished in within 10 minutes because firstly, I was too hungry and secondly, there were too many customers and no enough staffs. I always rush through my lunch when I'm working!
