Whee. I finished combining all of the 9 tracks of Disc 2 of Back to Basics of Christina Aguilera, now I can listen to the pleasures of all NINE in 5 or 6 minutes. Unbelievable. V i c t o r y.
Let’s talk about work, because I want to talk about something, and work is the only thing I can talk about.
I was S1. Serve food. Yay. Exciting. I did opening too, which made me uber uber tired.
Today was unexpectedly busy, but the set lunches didn’t really sell as fast as yesterday. Yay. I served food. Yay. How nice.
Jake was like, “YOU’RE S1?!!?!” in disbelief. She’s scared I might break the Three Soupbowls again. Wo. Then I tried facing my fears and terrible past as I attempted to carry 3 soupbowls… again. Scary la. SCARY.
I was literally trembling, shaking, shivering, whatever, as I lay down EVERY food AND drink today. Wo.
Then these 6 expat men came in, all angmoh and tall/gigantic. Jun Hong HATED these type of people, FREAKS, he calls them. I myself thought it was quite unnatural to reach heights of 1.95 metres. What a small world. No pun intended.
Not bad customers. Though one of the expats whined about “Don’t put sauce on my Sirloin Steak!” Blaaaa. Wasn’t that bad, really. They’re really quite OK customers. I’ve dealed with worse, believe me.
I’ll tell you the things customers do that annoy my managers/colleagues.
1) Customers who take too much bread for their own consumption (Most S2s)
2) Customers who demand too many things “Warm water/bread/chilli sauce/pepper/more sugar/etc.” (AhBa/Most of us)
3) Customers who change tables (Michelle)
4) Customers who complain/talk in a tone (A few of us)
5) Rarely, customers want the bread hotter. Simple. Put in microwave. Haha.
I’ll tell you the things that annoy ME.
1) JC students. Irreputable! Yes, they ARE more annoying than poly students, don’t ask why.
2) Customers who don’t say thank you/acknowledge our service.
3) Customers who IGNORE my guidance.
4) LONG TABLES of 7 people or more.
5) Babies. Toddlers. Children.
6) Customers who want small plates. (Pet peeve damn it!)
I hate it when I go “Our soup of the day is …” then the customers are so busy talking to themselves in Mandarin. Yes. It’s ALWAYS Mandarin when they ignore me.
So today, Jake went to the Duty Manager, Pei Yi, and talked in Mandarin, and Jake said my name. BlablablaEdBlaBlaBla, right after Pei Yi lectured me about using Wee Mui’s password.
Guess what?
I GOT MY FUCKING PASSWORD.
Like, finally. About time.
Let me list all the passwords I know.
Jerome: 8532
Ahba: 7421
WeeMui: 0914
Mine: 1497
Why 1497? My home number since forever! 6***1497! =)
Unfortunately, Jerome and Wee Mui are no longer working at Cartel. (Yes, Ferooze, celebrate that the “short bitch” is not working here anymore.) But still, I have 2 passwords at my disposal. Wahahahahahaha! Siao.
Anyway, I’m OT3 on Saturday, so my 1497 will come in handy.
Elenda keeps laughing at my actions and Jake keeps calling me cute.
And Mard’s long name is “Mardianna”. Ooooh. Mard. A girl, eh?!
Just 4 minutes ago, I had a good decent chat with (ooh I wanna insert a vulgarity here soooo badly) Kero.

That was the hilariest conversation I had ever.
Wow. I feel like spewing out some flowery dialect-varied insults right here right now. But. No. I refuse to. Even though blogging is “freedom of expression”. OH WHAT THE HECK. I don’t care.
Fuck it.
Ok la. Stop here. The insults I REALLY want to type out would be about 7000 words long? Urm, yeah.
So, Kero, why out of all things you call me creepy? Yes, I know you’re reading this. Wow. Call me sarcastic aye? I’m really not that sarcastic. That’s Fitrah. Otherwise, I’m just a plain, normal, boring teenage guy.
Gosh. Kero gave me a freaking lecture. Like I’m going to take that sitting down. You think I’m you is it? You think you’re your mother is it? Mother scold child.
*spits*
Enough.
I can play the psychology card now. Let’s begin.
Kero is probably giving me a lecture for being so “sarcastic”, why? A little bit of sarcasm don’t hurt nobody, and in addition, I’M NOT SARCASTIC. Like I said, it’s a matter of perception… so. He scolds me for being so-called “sarcastic”. Cannot take it? Hurt? Hmm. Sensitive? Or should I say OVERLY sensitive? These things can’t be helped, ya, Kero.
Then he starts insulting me with random TOTALLY irrelevant words like “freaky” and “creepy”. Reason? Bruise my ego. Haha. But I can also play the REVERSE psychology card. You’re just calling me names with no evidence whatsoever, and continuing to repeat the same thing, and using the gender analogy as reference.
Gosh Kero. I’m not stupid. (I’m so tempted to say: “But YOU are!”) Kero, if you’re reading this, good. Mr.Psycho(logist) will tell you the dealio. You are just putting forth your “dominance”, just because in your past, you haven’t been dominant/brave as you realize you can be. I applaud you for that, Kero, but you’re doing it the wrong way.
You don’t have to be so aggressive and insult a total stranger like I, to assert your dominance. You ended with a reasoning. Good. Mature enough. But not as mature as it could have gone.
I, on the other hand, was willing to accept any of your requests without second thoughts, only if you had been nicer. Well, maybe you’re not a nice guy after all. (Holds true; it explains his breakup with Colin.) Now that I’ve experienced a fragment of what Colin felt, I have a new outlook on you. But I shall not talk about my perception now. I just know that your childhood has been rough, heck, your romantic life has been rough, so I understand that you just release your tension on “innocent bystanders” such as I, without realizing it.
Anyway, I’m taking a mature and neutral stance right now. I apologize for calling you “not-a-nice-guy” because of my experience chatting with you.
I mean no harm. I, unlike you, will not insult people I don’t personally know. And yes, I am bitchy on my blog sometimes, because it’s FUN TO BITCH (you would know?). But yet, I’m able to stand here, with my dignity in tact, and accept you for who you are, regardless of your words, whether you meant for them to be hurtful or not.
Now, I’m scared for your other friends/family/total strangers that come upon contact with you via school/meet-ups/social gatherings. I hope you don’t rub them the wrong way; like what you did to both Colin and I.
Thank you for understanding.
I somehow expect my tagboard to be filled with vulgarities now, but hell, you expect me to cry? Haha. You think you insult me/my height/my penis size/my parents/my grandparents you think I’ll cry and insult back?
Oh yes. Kero. There’s a difference between BITCHING and INSULTING.
I bitch.
You bitch. AND insult. Being literal here. Nothing against you, once again.
Have a good day, Gary Soh.
