If.

Before this, I had 3 opportunities to quit my current job and get a better one.

But I didnt.

There were many reasons for that. I dont wish to elaborate due to some private reasons.

I might have another chance to quit my job again.

I am really tempted this time.

The pay is not really good.

But the offer is highly tempting.

But the question remains, will I get the offer??

End of this month, I will get the answer.

Injury



Yes, this is my hand. No, this is not STD. It is my hand being scalded by the sizzling sauce from the steak while I was serving today.

Time

It was really a struggle. I cant decide whether to work the full time or just part time.

The money for part time will only give just enough to feed myself. I got to rely on my father for my new bed + desk + bills. In addition, I wouldnt be able to buy myself an expansive chair for the desk and a new laptop.

Anything thoughts such as new clothings and my plan to travel overseas during decemeber and january to some places will also have to be discarded.

No, I am not going to find another job.

Steps

Im going to take any steps towards more hardship. The restaurant is offering me to work full time. Their full time means working at least 10 hours a day with only 4 days leave a month. The worse shit is even if you are on leave, you are still on standby. If they need you on your leave day, thats too bad. Find another day for rest.

Its one small rise in pay, one big step for slavery.

Signals

Yesterday the typhoon signal went up to signal 9. There was a significant increase in the strength of the wind compared to the previous signal 8 typhoon.

Almost EVERYTHING was close on the streets and I was so so afraid I am going to starve to death. Luckily Macdonalds and KFC were open. And after a stroll around the neighbourhood to look for more alternatives and to enjoy the wind, I found that they were the only eateries opened. So I had Macdonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My boss decided to close the shop too after I worked for one hour.

And with such a big wind, anything can fall from any building. The streets were quiet. No vehicles and very little people. A scaffolding collasped near my house and hit the building's windows. Roads were closed and pieces of glass were on the floor.

I better stock up some cup noodles before a bigger one strikes next time.

Screw the typhoon

So typhoon is something I want to experience very much. However, not this time. The restaurant I work in is just underneath my block. Thus, if signal 8 is hoisted, I will still have to work....

And I have a feeling its going to be long working hours because many people will not be able to make it to work....

My supervisor told me to standby for earliest shift tommorrow, which is 730am. I wonder how am I suppose to wake up since i finished work at 10pm tonight....

ANd one more thing to complain about work. I hate serving couples. They are so hard to please!! Guys will always try to act man and make freaking demanding requests and the girls will complain like a bitch and the guys will translate those barkings into human language without thinking just like a dog who can talk human language.

DIsclaimer: The above complain is only directed to hard-to-please-couples. I am not stereotyping.

I want to keep this place free from vulgarities.

May the Force be with Me.

COL

Its just too different. Working in HK is just too different.
I've long heard about it but I didnt know it will be this bad.

Before I work in HK, people have been telling me that if one work in HK, you will learn to be smart and you are going to get shit from your boss.

I never really understand that.

On the first day of my work, I already understood.
Nobody teaches you ANYTHING. YOU got to guess almost everything yourself. If you are lucky, your colleagues will teach you. The normal reaction is no answer, they just dont care. If you are in bad luck, you will get sarcastic remarks such as...Dont you know how to see? (I got this quite alot of times).

Seriously I dont understand. Instead of giving sarcastic remarks, why cant they just teach since it takes almost the same time to teach and give the sarcastic remarks.

So of course you wont stand around even if you don know anything. You will try and follow what others are doing. If you are lucky, you get it right. If you are wrong...you get some shit from you supervisor and sarcastic remarks by your colleagues.

I learnt how lucky I was being born in a family that gave me such a comfortable life.
I learnt how much I had been spoonfed all these 20 years.
I learnt that if I dont want to lead such a painful life in the future, I really got to work hard for the next 3 years.

Today, I burst into tears when I thought of those things above.

Land of the Tyrants.

Hong Kong is my homeland.
It is also the place where tyrants are everywhere.

Kids talking like adults, with adults protecting the, making them the king of the world.
Kids in HK are much more powerful than singaporean kids because of this point. They are not only proetcted and pampered by their parents, they will even make the first move to piss you off and get you to challenge them or get you into real trouble.

Well, in Singapore, people take english as their first language and mother tongue as their second. I think in Hong Kong, their second language is sarcasm. They are so good at it they can get a gold medal for it.

Summary : MY JOB SUCKS.

Lets put a smile on that face!

harhar

I actually wanted to stop looking for a job when the olympics is going on. I didnt want to work during the olympics so that I can watch it all day at home.

SO I stopped looking last friday already but on monday morning (yesterday), the 茶餐厅 just below my block called me for work. It is not a good job at all. Being paid only 23HKD/hr (4 SGD/hr). I have to perform really mentally challenging tasks too. Because it isnt really a restaurant, we dont have computers or electronic receipts to take orders so everything is handwritten in lousily hand written CODES.

Memorizing the codes is a piece of freaking cake to me BUT I cant make sense out of the damn handwritings of my collegues.....and thus I have to keep asking what are they writing. This really made me stress because after 2 days of working I am not improving still.

I believe that if Jacques Sauniere were to write like that, Langdon will never be able to solve the mysteries of the holy grail.

(+)

I feel the lack of energy today. I read less than 5mins today. No mood to watch the X files or Olympics.

I cant even finish both my meals today, eating only less than half of the fried noodles I ordered during dinner.

I think I will have to sleep earlier tonight.

Why.


萬人入場觀賞奧運馬術

奧運馬術今早舉行賽事,約有萬人出席,未有滿座,部分觀眾聲稱,不懂欣賞,感到沉悶。


Disclaimer: The text below are just my views.
I believe that people are always drawn to things that has a lot of publicity or/and when alot of people are doing it but many never really understand what is happening or what is it that they are actually doing.

End result? Wasting of own time.

The above incident reminded me of the Macdonald Hello Kitty saga in Singapore many years ago. Who actually what the Hello Kitties are for? Who actually really likes Hello Kitty? How many of those who got those dolls still have it now? Yet so many queue hours for it.

I had similiar experiences too. One of which is playing of Tamiya cars years ago. I didnt really know what I was doing or why is it fun. But everyone was playing it and so I joined in too.

Now, these stories reminded me that I should not waste time on things that I dont like or understand or not planning to understand at all. It reminds me that I should spend my time on things that I really need and that are important to me.

Sorry, I am crapping again.

News.

SO yesterday I was talking about the signal 8.

I said that the wind wasnt very big.

Looks like that isnt true.

I saw on the news. The wind is big.

I just wasnt at the right place.

When will I be at the right place right time and doing the right thing?

signal 8

For 20 years of my life, this is my first time really witnessing a signal 8. But i guess this time the wind wasnt even close to big.

Well but yesterday night, I was having my windows opened (I didnt know that I wasnt suppose to do that....). Yeah but I witness something cool.

One howling wind and some of my windows suddenly opened FULLY and then the next monment another wind blows and they closed back. Just like the movies.

So in the afternoon today, I went out to have my lunch as usual. MOst shops were closed except for fastfood....which really gave myself the excuse of eating them (I am still sick so I had been avoiding fastfood and coke for almost a month already).

Macdonalds/KFC is still my favourite dinner choice.....

Updateee

So I still haven got a job. Which really makes me feel useless. I hate to admit it but I think wk is right, my diploma is useless in Hong Kong. Diploma is already useless in Hong Kong where people are studying for degrees, associate degrees and higher diploma. Who gives a shit about diploma holders?? In addition, mine is a Chemical Engineering diploma...

But thats not an excuse to use when I cant find a job.
I know.
Thats why I am feeling damn useless right now.
I have no experience in serving customers, nobody wants to hire me to become a waiter.
I do no have a good O lvl cert, nobody wants to hire me to become a tutor.
I do not know the way well in HK, nobody wants to hire me to deliver goods.

Anyway, Signal 3 has been hoisted.
I am hoping maybe I can have a taste of signal 8 storm/typhoon tommorrow morning (I know its quite an irresponsible statement because signal 8 is quite troublesome and dangerous...but I just want to feel how is it like....)
The rain is damn big right now.
Its hard to sleep because of all the rain tapping on the windows.

Lets hope tommorrow will be a better day.

明天会更好
