It has been a few days since I started work at a cafe. Initially I had 2 other colleagues to help work together with me but now left only one of them cos the other only work for a day. The first and second day of work is okay and it's not so busy. But the most busiest days are yesterday and today. Wendy(my colleague) and I were practically run around the cafe here and there. I was very upset yesterday cos I keep forgetting orders and made a few of the customers angry.

This morning when I go to work, my "Boss" talk to me privately when there's no customers in the cafe. He ask me,"Are you having problems at home?" I said no. He then ask me is there anything I am unhappy about? Again I said no. He then told me that he notice I seems to be angry yesterday(Actually I was not angry but I was stress up by the customers). I told him I am not angry but maybe I was quite stress because there are a lot of customers yesterday and there are orders that I keep forgetting and one customer even wait for 20 minutes but her coffee is still not yet being serve and she was complaining. He said he will teach me how to make coffee some other time. He then comment that I get very "Kan Chiong" easily(which until now I still don't know what he means) when there are too many customers or when customers keep on pressing me for their orders to be serve quickly. He then told me to learn to relax(Like I know how?!), when there are too many customers, there is NO WAY that I can relax. He also said that if my performance is good and I can work for long term basis(he said which he hope so), he may promote me to be Assistant Chef or I may get pay increment. I like the idea of pay increment but I don't like the idea of being Assistant Chef. Cos from the way I watch how he works, he always gets very tense up or stress when the ordering form are piled up at his station. But I cannot blame him cos he is the ONLY ONE doing the cooking. When you are alone doing a particular station all by yourself and when times get busier, naturally the person's temper won't be good. That is why I will try to avoid him during lunch time or when there are too many customers around cos I know he will be shouting(not purposely) instead of speaking to us in a nicer tone.

There is one group of difficult customers today and my "Boss" mood is not very good. Wendy gets shouted at and she is quite upset but I told her not to take it to heart. I admired her that she can even still smile at other customers even she gets scolded from that group of difficult customers. I notice that she is always smiling. I told her that if it was me, I won't be still smiling. She then comment that she only smiles when I am around(Don't know is it the truth).

Recently I am addicted to a game called,"Second Life". In that game, every women is pretty. Too bad I am not rich in that game. I then accidentally disfigured my face and body by swapping into another body of a celebrity. Ahhh! So sad. A girl then kindly give me L$500+ dollars to get me a nice hairdo and she gave me an Avatar. Haiz..I still prefer my old Avatar back.

I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.
