Tears of joy or woe?Today, I officially started my first job at a restaurant at One Utama. This restaurant is actually based on italian fused japanese food concept and it's darn creative! I was kinda nervous an I woke up at 8.30 am. Did some laundry, had breakfast and when I looked at the time...10.24am! OMG! I'm gonna be late! The distance from my house and One U is actually around 20-25 minutes walk on a normal pace. With my bikey, it would be around 10 mins! But, I'm working till 10.30 today...so, it's kinda impossible for me to cycle back so late! So I had to walk for very very fast, and I reached there around 10.50am! Fuuh!..Rushed to the washroom, refreshed myself an went to work! 10.55am. Arrived on the restaurant! I was briefed..and yada yada.... It was really an eye-opener. Seriously, you thought being a waitress are for the brainless..Think again! They had to jot down what the customers requested, smile to the most horrible customers, serving fast, have good focus and alertness and try to promote good food. It's like: reporter + actress + server + dog? + sales executive = WAITRESS Seriously, I'm not trying to brag about myself, but that's how I felt! I remembered, once at 9.30pm , my family and I went to Kampachi for japanese food at Pavillion. So, after we shopped, I was so darn tired and hungry that I don't even know what to order or eat. I remembered the waiter being kinda gloomy and forgetting things. And after the dinner, we were all unsatisfied with his attitude and walked out feeling angry. Somehow, I get to relate with that old waiter. Somehow, I seem to understand that, not everyone is capable of smiling to each and everyone everyday. Not everyone is living a great life out there. It made me ponder for a second, that how much we would actually complain on someone's little mistake, and totally forgets about the many good deeds that he had done. 8.30pm. Customers were occupying the seats already. And today, I thought that I wouldn't make a mistake, but I guess God just wants to remind me not to be too high on my head. Guy : I would like to have gomadare pasta set meal. And one iced flavoured blueberry soda. Me: Okay. May I repeat your order. One gomadare pasta set and one iced flavoured blueberry soda. Guy : Yup Me: Okay, thanks. (ran off to key in the food item..and then ran back to the table)...Uhm, sorry, you haven't ordered your drinks yet, would you like ocha or plain water? Guy: Huh??? Uhm...flavoured blueberry soda?.. Me: OMG...SORRY! >< Sorry sorry sorry..I forgot. STUPIDDDD! Aish...luckily it's a nice couple. so, I had fun today. My colleauges consist of different nationality, some from Myanmar, one from Phillipines, and others..guess where? MALAYSIA la..duh..But overall, I really enjoyed my first day. Eventually, when it was about 10. The engine in my head has gone haywired. I was on the verge of crying. I wasn't feeling sad, but it was more to the extremely-exhausted-until-u-need-to-cry kinda tears. By the way, the restaurant that I'm working at is called Pasta Zanmai! Seriously, the food is GREAT! Need me to recommend some? Feel free to drop by anyday! I'll be there to serve you with a smile. Depends la siapa. "Kalau kau, boleh ba!" Lol...miss you guys! And keep me in your prayers..I need those! |
