W8er Boi

Due to economy crisis, Hein has turned more asian. That means more hard working and competitive. well, at least i'm competitive with myself. I think I just have to keep getting better. Well, due to economy crisis, jayjays shifts are getting crap as well. And we can't blame Soon or anyone or even the regionals for that. So, I got myself another job ...... wait for this.... as a waiter.. Today was my trial and I had fun doing it. Dressed in black and hopping around tables. It was a whole new experience for me.

I saw people, spending HUNDREDS of dollars, flipping their credit cards for food or for dates. They were all nice since they were well mannered. So, that's the difference about workin in jayjays and working as a waiter. Being a waiter, you get good mannered people and the course set for entree and main are set so it's not that bad. The only bad thing is the fact that you have to remember where the tables are, which I always get wrong. It was not easy cos sometimes they would join two tables and if the table number is 17(for example), they named it 17 A and 17 B cos there weren't enough places for a table for two so they ended up sharing a table for four. So, yes it was quite complicated but my mentor said I'll get used to it.

The best thing was I got free food and drinks and I was allowed to carry one beer bottle home for every shift. At the end of the shift, I got a ten dollars tip too. And from next time, I'm gonna grab one beer bottle home for every shift I work and I'll line the beer bottles up for any future revue parties.

I worked at Jayjays as well today and it was leah's last day. To be honest, I WILL surely miss her. We kinda grew far apart in the middle only cos of our possees. She's got her own and I've got my own. But , deep inside, cos of the amount of intimacy we've shared, I really love her a lot. I was looking at our facebook pictures together and all I could do was just sigh at the fact that she won't be around. When she said to me today before I left "When will I ever see you again?", she nearly made me cry. I made a joke about how gay marriage is legal in new zealand and I rushed off. I was crying with pain inside cos I do fear that. When will I ever go to New zealand? When will I ever see her again? *sigh* I do love Leah. At some point in life, there are so many things you can't stop yourself from. And mine includes 'loving Leah'. I'll miss you, Leah.

By the way, my mentor taught me this trick of holding three plates at once and I got excited when I got home and practised it and I did it and asked Thanda to take a pic of that. So, yep that explains my pic... ok?
