Buffet on Sunday

Yellow River Cafe has buffet on Sunday. Weather wasn't good, shower and cloudy.
The restaurant wasn't busy.

I accidently pour a glass of beer on the table, chair and one customer's jacket. Here I was, all the beer on the floor and I didn't know what to do. Alan the Manager told Ryoko to help cleaning the floor. Damn it... She helped me... I felt embarrassed. It seems that she does everything better.

Later on, when I was in the small room behind the bar to operate the dishwasher for those dirty glasses and cups and puting the clean ones in a plastic tray on the floor, I broke one wine glass. But nobody was there so I ain't say a thing about it.

I think it wasn't a good day for me. My legs were killing me and my back was aching. I told Alan to let me leave early instead of giving me a 2-hour break. I was much relief after I went back home. Wow... such a day!

Long Day

This is my first long working day. We even had a staff meeting at the end to discuss some important issues such as the mistery diners, complaints from customers, the proper way of the disposal of contaminated rubbish, etc. I did mainly drink-runner, table-setting, drying glasses and cultery and folding the napkins. No hard work, but it's still exhausting. The person in the picture is my big boss. He owns the restaurants (Yes!!! RestaurantS - he has 7 restaurant in England), but I've never met him.

Food-runner

The dishes were too hot to carry by hands. The problem is we needed to serve all the main courses at once even if the customers have ordered more than 10 dishes. The bar near kitchen is also hot as it has lights on top of it to keep the food warm. Chef and Assistant Chef people were not very nice either... Things are tough today, but Yuya was there to help me. Cool...
Today we went home by Alan's car. He is a nice manager though I thought he wasn't when I first met him.

Drink-runner

Being a drink-runner is as easy as pie
and
Remembering tables-number is a piece of cake.

Nervous About Work and Shopping (not correlated!!!)

I was so anxious about starting this new job so I wanted to go to town... (sorry for all those excuses!!! Heehee...)

I bought a stretchable skinny low rise short jean from OASIS for 40 pounds which is suitable to wear with stockings and my medium-long boots. I'm so excited about it!!! I need to wait until it's cold enough to wear my lovely boots. Could you notice those diamond trims on the back pockets? They are nice, aren't they??



Besides, I've got myself a new knitwear from M&S for 45 pounds. Black in colour with 7% cashmere, machine washable. Nice for daytime and warmer evenings.

我的 １／２ 去了哪裡？

根據某電台節目所報導的一項亞洲調查指出，香港女人平均

1. 每人有 16 對鞋
2. 七成有數碼相機
3. 六成有 mp3 機
4. 一成七有 PDA
5. 零點八成有 3G 電話
6. 三成一每個月去一至三次 disco, pub 或 karaoke
7. 六成上網，其中八成用寬頻

我被說中了第 1，2 和第 7 項。第 3 項呢……我曾經有一部，但在車禍中被弄壞了，所以計作半分。結果顯示……

我是半個香港女人﹗？

當然這種調查的 validity 是值得商榷的，這種數據不好好 analyse 真是會貽笑大方。

Thus, I've to work approx. 5 hours to earn back my uniform... >.<"

你，係咪我朋友？（我，係咪你朋友？）

佢成日搵你一齊做好多野，你又幾鍾意同佢一起，但有時你又覺得佢好無聊同好幼稚，有時會對佢發脾氣……

佢係咪我朋友？

佢成三個月都唔覆你 email，你又好久都未搵佢，但你一係英國，佢又打俾你，又問你去唔去佢屋企食 tea 同 watch tv。佢諗野算成熟，但我地又好似冇咩共同話題，除了大家都喜歡跳舞去 salsa 和 argentinean tango。有時我唔去跳舞那個地方，又可以成年只見幾次。

佢係咪我朋友？

佢好 respect 我，又成日問我意見，有時又好 take care 我，但呢排佢有女朋友後又重色輕友，做咩事唔?或唔順我意我發氣佢又怕我鬧鬼佢，成日有求於別人才找人。

佢係咪我朋友？

佢地一見我返香港就要約我出來食飯，見到面又唔知講咩，所以我好怕接佢地電話和見佢地，因為怕 deadair。而且見親都係吹水同食飯，好似酒肉朋友。但係我地本來係應該有一些 collective memories 0架……那些 memories 對我來說是珍貴和不可再有的……可是現在我們都沒有其他話題了。

佢地係咪我朋友？

what are you looking for...?

某一年一班剛剛考完會考0既同學約埋一齊唱K
流行曲唱到一半0既時候
其中一位朋友問0左隔離0個位一個問題喂
你估0下二十年後0既今日我地會變成一個咩人呢

二十年後可能已經變成一個西裝骨骨0既中環人
手帶勞力士　銀包有好多張信用卡
放工0既時候就一齊0向酒吧度
一邊望住個煙灰盅
一邊就望住隔離檯0個個女仔睇0下佢條裙幾時會走光

二十年後大概終於會買0左個部好想擁有既汽車
但係仲有二十幾期要供二十年喇　應該轉過好多份工
識做0既野越0黎越多
但係同時發覺學識越0黎越少
0向0個個時間　間唔中可能會去0下gym
但係做0黎做去都係減唔到個肚腩
當然二十年0黎你間唔中都會諗起一段一路都未能放低0既感情
女朋友越0黎越多　但係愛0既越0黎越少

細路哥　你得到什麼
你失去什麼你知道　what are u looking for

大概0向0個個時候可能會有身邊0既親人離開
而0個個陣時你會有好多講唔出口0既遺憾
同時間你會發覺原來人生已經過0左一大半

同年終於結婚喇
用左半生0既積蓄俾左一層樓0既首期
有車位有泳池會所
娛樂越0黎越多
但係快樂越0黎越少
兩年後　可能會離婚

回復單身之後0既一個晚上
一個人0個向床上面查住個搖控不停咁轉台　食0左兩粒安眠藥跟住點起支薄荷煙
然後流0左一滴自親人離世之後0既眼痊藒M之間你又諗起　0向二十年前你係一個咩人
係個一晚一大班同學約埋出0黎唱K唱到天光
仲記得係個朝返到屋企0既時候
打開門0向檯面見到有一碗屋企人留低0既湯
碗湯已經凍0左喇

細路哥　你得到什麼　你失去什麼
你知道　what are u looking for
