100604 - It's a demanding world
my dear dear momma woke me at 11.20am today..but after she left my room, i ended up sleeping till 12.20pm Hahaha..so bad of me but well, i was dead beat! Anyway what does it matter?? Till this day, i still dun quite understand why my parents are so "niao" bout me sleeping late and waking up late...i'm so not a day person..can't achieve much when the sun is up haha..and besides, i'm not even schooling or anything so what does it matter??? Haiz...over-protective parents? maybe...anyway, followed my mom to bras basah complex for lunch..we had no choice but to go to Jack's Place to eat cuz i needed to use tht toilet Haha..can u imagine?? Going there just cuz of the toilet?? Haha nah..it's quite okay lah..the food is nice and quite affordable so yeah..and remember the day b4 i had a lotta wine to drink?? Well, i didn't get drunk that day or even tipsy, but the day after that (today), that's when it all kicked in. No i didn't puke, but i think i got the feeling of a slight hangover in my tummy...like diarrhoea..and erm..dunno if i should say this but..it was slightly greenish in colour?? EEEEEWWWW...it was kinda like white wine colour LOL..hence the conclusion it was the wines that caused it. Anyway ahem..after lunch, went to art friend to get some art stuff, then headed to swee lee music to check out the guitars. They got quite good variety there, but the prices for a relatively good one tend to be a bit high. Didn't spend very long there...i mean c'mon, i'm with my mom there! It's not as if i was with friends cuz if i was then i could spend hours there! But anyway yea...went to tecman after that..flipped thru some books and all..as usual, didn't buy anything haha...and then went to popular bookstore after that..didn't buy anything either haha...Then after that my mother dropped me straight to work. Ate a little sth first...then after that went to amici. Half the restaurant was already set for dinner, so setting it up was a little faster - FINALLY elvin helping out a little bit. Haha..but i am grateful hehe..was folding the napkins when i decided and felt like i should talk to God, to ask Him to be my strength. And well, i asked Him to help me with talking to the boss bout my pay and all. Was sitting at table 11 folding the napkins and just talking to "myself"..well God lah..and then yeah, as willie was walking out from his office, i decided to ask him about my paycheck. And i told him the missing dates like how many times i came during the lunch shift and worked the full day and all..and i also told him i came once at 3pm just to help him do some filing and he even reminded me that i came TWICE to do that! I mean like wow~ God is...effective??? Well what i meant was..if you ask God for water, He'll give you rain...He'll give u more than u could ever need..He knows my full name, my nick name, my this and my that and even the number of hairs on my head! Beautiful God, wonderful saviour. I know for sure, all of may days are held in Your arms, crafted into Your prefect plan...then as usual, liz came rushing in at 6pm LOL :) and then yea..there were already customers at 545pm actualli...but yea..today's crowd was quite manageable..except for 2 cases of demanding customers - hence the title of today's entry, "It's a demanding world." So okay, this ang moh family came in, from dunno somewhere in europe lah cuz of the accent and all...3 pax in all but they just went to sit at the 6 pax table..like okay. it was early in the evening so it wasn't so bad. But the worse part was that the guy..big tough guy was in a horrible mood. Demanded a tuna pizza which wasn't on the menu, plus some other stuff. Now normally for our restaurant, we would prefer to serve certain foods together, so that no-one eats alone. So, there was that guy's garlic bread, and it was at the counter waiting for the other dishes to be ready so that they could be served together. As i happened to be next to the counter, and that guy..wah he asked why i'm not doing anything when his bread was ready! I mean talk about being impatient!!! And he didn't have to be so rude u know..like implying that i was lazy and couldn't be bothered to serve? I mean we have our own procedures here..and besides, it wasn't even my section so how would i know where that plate of garlic goes??!! Simply unreasonable..like sure he may have had a bad day but..why vent his anger on us?? We're just innocent amigos hahaha..yeah..we all think he was really demanding..don't want to mention other things he said like "scold ur chef for me" cuz they were all too unpleasant...totally ruined my day. But after a while i forgot about it. And then later on ah, wah table 12..this lady and guy..i seriously don't know their actual age, especially the ooman. Her dressing is like late 20's kind of dressing, but her FACE! Wah..like 35 over yrs old..later on i found out why. She smokes! Yep..so like they sat at table 12, and just cuz they couldn't wait very long, they had to ask me why their baked oysters took so long to come. Like that's totally fine actually, cuz i understand what it is like to wait so long on an empty stomach but still...why the long papaya face??? Then halfway through eating, they can just go to the next table..the balcony table and just sit there and smoke away! I mean..2 ppls taking up 2 whole tables?? That's really selfish! Typical singaporean ah lian i tell ya..dunno lah, dun want to judge such ppls, but such ppls just get on my nerves! Okay once they finished their smoke, they still left their stuff at the balcony table and went back in to sit and their old table. So like..they're hogging 2 perfectly good tables, and they used both sets of cutlery and napkins!!! I mean..haiyoh...simply very poor table manners...they think the place is like their home..very selfish..they don't even care about other customers at the restaurant. While smoking, still left the door open for everyone to smell their "aging formula smoke" hence her oldies look haha..and like they'll open the door again once u try to close it? I think it's cuz they wanted the aircon...they kept saying so hot so hot so stuffy..can on the fan? can switch off the balcony lights cos it is hot? I mean what rubbish!!! How self-centred..totally uncaring of other restauranters...and simply demanding!!! Haiz..but badness aside, we managed to rush our closing duties and leave amici by 1030pm so that was good. We made our way down to NUS hostel where liz and chris stay, and we went to their restaurant kitchen (fuzion) to do our tiramisu!!! Wish we had a camera then cuz we did so many fun stuff and all..even played pool! Learned quite a bit about pool..like where to hit the ball to make it go where..very interesting..things i never knew! hahaha..okay it was a tiny bit upsetting that our tiramisu didn't turn out well..not so 'award-winning' after all huh? Haha..but we still had fun...we had mad eggs!!! Made by me lol..i took the leftover egg from the tiramisu and added lots and lots of stuff in it. Chris asked what i added in it but i told him, he should be asking what i didn't out in it haha..cuz i added almost everything on the sauce shelf, and mostly fiery stuff like tobasco and paprika and pepper and everything spicy..which is why we wanted to call it mad eggs! haha..but taste wise, it really wasn't bad at all..the spicyness was just right and well..i was hungry anyway and everything tastes nice when you're hungry so....yep! Then we took a cab home and that ends my day...would love to fill in my blog with greater detail but look at the time...another time maybe.
But one thing i want anyone who reads this to know, and that is that Life is Beautiful, and Jesus makes beautiful things out of any screwed-up life! Yesss..just talk to Him and you'll never regret that conversation! Neways, you guys at amici are great! Luv ya guys lots and may all our dreams, wishes and ambitions come true!
