1st + 2nd day of work + Sick le = HeLp!!!

Went for work yesterday and it was my very first day at work. The colleagues there are generally very nice. Work is from 9am - 7pm. I am very tired but at least I am happier there than in office work.

The first day, I called wrongly for one of the chef's name. His name is actually Faizal. But someone told me his name was Rahim? No wonder during the first day when he saw me, he gave me a very black face and refuse to answer me. I called his name wrongly! He gave me quite a lot of things to do, so my time for the first day passes very quickly. Before my Manager left, he ask me whether I like the job and whether the environment suits me? I said yes. He was glad that I liked the job. Went home at 8pm because of the cashier float thingy. Sian! Everything also must do! Luckily I had some cashiering experience beforehand and F&B experience so I could learn things much easily.

I had to stand throughout the day for more than 8 hours. So you can imagine how sore my feet are when I reach home. But after the first day, I had a very high fever upon reaching home and block nose. Had difficulty sleeping and I took large quantity of sleeping medication in order to finally get some sleep. Because of my previous office job, I was so stress that I couldn't even sleep, that I had to rely on sleeping medication to help me sleep. I think my body is starting to relying that sort of routine. So, when I didn't take any medication at all, I won't be able to sleep normally like other people could.

Today is my second day of work and Faizal is getting very impatient with me. He expects me to do things fast. I heard that Chefs have a very fury temper and they are the most impatient people in the F&B line. I notice one thing about chefs that bothers me until now: Chef are 90% smokers. The rest of the 10%, 5% = I don't know is it all the Chefs in Singapore smokes? 5% = I know Mr.W doesn't smoke. Don't get it? Never mind

Had runny nose and flu during my work that at the end of the day, my Manager ask me not to come for work tomorrow if I am still not feeling well. Don't worry. When I sneeze, I wasn't handling any food items. And luckily, I was in the back room. Learn to do float with Ah peng(She's a Malaysian, staying at Ipoh). During the 1st day, we talk about Malaysia. When I told her that I had a boyfriend who is half-Malaysian, she seems excited. I said half-Malaysian cos even though BaoBei was born in Malaysia, he is holding a pick colour IC. Just that his country of birth states: Malaysia. One of his documents states: The child is a Malaysian citizen at the time of birth. I was surprise when I saw BaoBei's documents cos I expect him to carry a blue IC instead(An indication of permanent resident). Ah Ping said that Ipoh is very near JB. I just nod cos I don't know Malaysia very well. She hit it off with me when knowing that I have been to Malaysia before and asked me how I find Malaysia and whether I had tried the food there?

Falling sick for 2 days le. Need to get a lot of rest. It didn't help that it was raining tonight when I had a very bad flu already! Ate a lot of medication but I didn't notice that I had taken overdose of the panadol!!! Oh no! I pray nothing will happen? I think I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.
