The weather in HK is extremely hot now. Actually its not only now, it has been so hot since I came back from Singapore. There was only about one week of "coolness" due to continous raining and the typhoon.
This is much hotter than in Singapore. In fact, since last week, I had been switching on the aircon since I get home and will only off when I leave the house because the heat is just unbearable.
And why has this got to do with mooncake?
Because I think the temperatur for this mooncake festival is going high you can bake your own mooncake by putting the raw ones just under your pillow. In addition, everybody is going to be so hot tonight that they will be glowing. Nobody needs any lanterns anymore.
Im actually starting to worry about the electricity bills. =/

MOONCAKE
So I am not really soon when is the mooncake festival.
But my boss gave each workers 50HKD so that they can buy mooncakes themselves. I donno about the others, but another youngster and me were happy. In fact, we were saying its even better than having a moooncake.
Because seriously, I can eat a much tastier meal by topping up another 50 HKD instead of eating a boring mooncake supper.

time
Finally the restaurant hired a new guy.
This means i will be working one shift now. Which means I am going to earn half of what I am earning now from now onwards. But that also means I have twice more time for myself too.
Hahaha.

Bad.
Today, I pissed a couple off real bad and I am deeply sorry for it. Because of me, their wonderful high tea session is ruin. Because of me, they might hate the restaurant I am working in forever.
I am filled with guilt now. I know they will never read this, but I just want to express my guilt here and explain why it happen. I am not trying to make any excuses but such an unfortunate incident happened because of a series of coincidence.
Disclaimer: Wall of text below
Firstly, it happens that was holding many small stacks of paper to take orders today because I picked them up from a cupboard and I thought that since nobody is using them, I will collect them and use it as one big stack. So after taking their orders, I carry on to take orders from other customers using other small stacks (easier than flipping). Thus, the couple's order shifted towards the middle of the stack. After that when I was about to give the orders to the reception, I remembered that I have to give my employer my address (I was already late for 2 days). So, I went to undate my address and had forgotten how many orders I had actually taken.
It was rather busy this afternoon and thus I didnt have time to go through all the small stacks of paper. Therefore, their orders were not entered.
After their long wait, I realize something is wrong and I checked my stack. I found their orders and I went to the reception right away to place their orders. I think they had also sensed that something was wrong and they approach to ask me too. I apologized for my mistakes and told them that their orders were coming.
But they orderd baked rice which takes the longest time to cook. So after a few more minutes, they couldnt take it. The guy complained loudly and the girl stormed out of the restaurant banging the door. After the complaint, the guy walked out angrily too.
