Ability to serve

Yesterday morning, since Wendy was not there, she asked her nephew to train me to work as waitress. but when i arrived, another nephew (younger one) was there.... he taught me some and challenged me... he knows cantonese actually, but he speaks with me in English... fine, my English is not that bad...

He given me a test on remembering the table no,, i passed. then he asked me to take a look on how others are doing. i tried to help. Jacky and Peter were those for me to inmitated. Jacky speaks in Cantonese and Peter speaks in Mandarin. But Peter taught me some more professional skills.
the chopsticks should be on the right and the endside facing the customers. the table cloth how to place will definitly at the middle of the table.... which cloth is in which size.... how to place the seat, says 6 ppl table, how the seat should be place..... everything should be remember it.

i think i picked all things up fast. just a bit slow. but fresh meat are like that i think. add oil!!

since i'm in probation period, no pay for that... but i can choose some dim sum for my lunch, i treat it as my salary. i chose a prawn dumplings and Beef ball. the prawn dumplings, not bad but the beef ball.... same comments with the Lasagna i tried at the 1st day.... the beef is so "so"...  i miss the beef i ate at HK....

that big newphew (haha, i still don't know his name), said i basically pass. just can do faster. he said i can try the night shift, i can learn more things and learn how to please the customers (esp. westerners). only English can help.
but since he's not there on wed, i can go back on Thurs. hopefully i can pick up asap and get higher pay.

Meeting Amy Wong


Jo and i had a little reunion with Amy Wong and her hubby, Peter. There's no big change on her and she said same for me. Really? that's not a bad thing... i think in these years, i had a lot of changes, became fat, got slimmer, and mayb back to the secondary school figure.
Peter drove us to portside, we enjoyed some fish & chips, shrimps, oysters, salad... nice.
then we went to another place to enjoy some ice-cream.
We chatted abt how we r going, the news abt other clarians, the teachers... the differences between Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne......
also the jobs, the weddings.... yea, many of our classmates getting marry or got married.... why i'm still a single lady?!
wait patiently.
