___my world of work
Merry christmas to everyone! Yet I think there isn't much of a christmassy mood this year. Somehow I think christmas is over-hyped. Everyone just treats it as a day to give one another presents and the real meaning is lost, not mentioned at all.
Anyway I've been so busy with work that I didn't get down to sending anyone christmas cards although I bought them already. And obviously I haven't bought any gifts either, so this year's christmas just doesn't feel like it. Usually I'm the one in the family who insists on setting up the christmas tree (and will get down to doing it), but I've been too busy this year to even bother. Somehow or other, I don't feel like it's a special day at all today! But thanks still for all those who sent me cards and sms-es and gifts. (:
Work is tiring! It's been ONE WEEK of work for me. I'm glad I've survived this week without being scolded yet haha. Anyway I really love my job! Obviously the working hours for a waitress are like shit, with long hours and abnormal timings for all my meals. Plus the fact that standing for 8 hours is quite strenous. But I love the feeling of serving customers as they eat at the restaurant, to make their dining experience a more pleasant one. And I love the staff there at the restaurant! They're damn nice people who teach me with so much patience and I'm glad that I'm able to talk to them quite well. My mentors seem to like me well enough too haha! It's a wonderful experience working as a waitress and I think I've fallen in love with working at CHIJMES, especially with all the people I know. Now I don't feel like going over to Clarke Quay! But obviously I don't have a choice haha.
The only downside that really comes from working as a waitress is that my English has sort of degenerated haha. Maybe this entry has revealed that to you all. But I love this job all the same and I'm going to learn as much as I can from all my mentors. Aye I think I'm going to be damn sad when I have to leave CHIJMES next month!
