食客
Sunday morning, backed to Church as usual then go to work directly.
i'm the one who open the shop. when i juz arrived, the kitchen hand lady looked at my outfit, told me she seems saw me at the train.... i asked, i took the train one hour before..... u were that early also?? she said since not much train, she could only choose that one.... really missed HK's MTR........
comparing with weekdays lunch, today is relatively free.
the most special customers should be table No. 6........... haha... May, Max and Heng came.... feels like 有朋自遠方來, 不亦樂乎.... although not really from far away.... from Toowong only =p
i'd ever thought how would it be if they come while i'm working, and today, they really surprised me........ at that time, i was juz ready to serve those coming in customers... when i saw their face, "wa......... what's happened?!" with glad feeling=D
i thought i should pretend treat them as normal customers, says i should say "hi, how are u?" with higher pitch........ "table for 3?" .... but i could'nt.... haha... juz used cantonese... i actually seldom use cantonese even i heard customers chat with cantonese.... only if customers using mandarin or cantonese to order, i would reply them in that language.
sometimes customers do asked me to suggest which dishes are better to order, but for them, i should say, be frank, most of them i didn't try them b4..... but more ppl order that... which looks nice....
Heng ordered Kapitan Chicken, Max ordered Roti Curry Lamb... May actually wanted to order Hainanese Chicken, but i told her not to order that, i can bring her some anytime later.... so she changed Chilli Prawn...
Max told me when he went to Sunny Bank LS.... they said there's no 鴛鴦.... actually that's coffee Milk Tea and he ordered that here today...
May ordered Rose Milk Tea, mayb cause i'd made it myself and left some for her a few days b4? in this case, i'm actually promoting our food and drinks=p
Heng ordered soya milk, he asked if it can 飛沙走奶...... ha.... actually, soya milk is juz ready-made things.... only can change to hot or no ice..... and that's not milk tea.... 唔好玩野呀, 0靚仔!
when i saw the order for table 6, i was glad and told colleagues, "Let me serve=D"
almost forgot to take off the order sheet to the case....
but unfortunately, no curry lamb today........ so Max changed the order to Laksa.
they came too early.... otherwise, i might ask them to stay till i finish work, changed the uniform, take my lunch and eat with them.... haha....
when they left and paid the bill, again, i seized this duty..... i saw my colleague wanted to go to cashier... but i was faster=p
i wonder if i can give them free drinks.... secretly.... made by myself...... mayb next time=p
i kept promise to bring Hainanese Chicken home... and after i prepared the Hainanese Chicken already, the kitchen made one more Nasi Goreng by mistake..... so i took it away also, yay!

痛腳
feel so pain on my right foot these few days... the red highlight part from the pic...
i don't know why... mayb the sneakers i wore are not suitable to walk too much... or my bad sleeping posture... when i woke up after napping at the car, i feel pain after i got off... mayb i slept too deep and hurt my toes when i fallen asleep...
on that day, i didn't feel that serious.... but the next day, when i walked to Toowong for having a coffee, i started feel pain... i spent a few hours at shopping center till it's time to work..... that's the first day i worked for evening shift at LS... it's public holiday for Queen's bday.... double pay!! so despite the pain, it's great to work on that day...
off duty at 8:15pm... the foot was still pain.... i limped to the train station... b4 i arrived, i'd already found that only got some express trains which won't stop at Toowong or Taringa on the screen... but i still walked to the station and asked the staff... he told me i may take the 444 bus at King George Square station... i limped to the there... that's the first time for me to take bus at that station... it's an underground station... i almost got the wrong way... when i saw the bus going to cultural center........ i wondered if that's the opposite way.... no one at the bus stop... i believe should be wrong.... i limped upstairs and asked a gal.... she told me i should go the Moggill way... i even never heard of Moggill.... anyway, i got the right bus...
i called May to pick me up after i got off the bus.... they told me not to walk home myself at late night time... my right foot was killing me anyway...
--------------------------------------
i'd already did some massage with the chinese medicine, but seems it's still no reaction...
i can't take sick leave.... u know, "Hand stop, Mouth stop".......... no work, no pay, then no $ to pay for the rent and food.... so i still cope with it while working, still walked around to serve, to clean up.... juz pretend nothing happened on me... no one awared that...
before work, i suddenly remembered i should take a panadol... i forgot to take it b4 left home, i bring this along in my luggage... but since i forgot to bring, i bought it at pharmacy today.... i found that it's even cheaper than HK.... took it b4 work, but seems it's doesn't works on me... sigh....
---------------------------------------
i wanted to give Dad a call for his advice, but he didn't answer my call. then i called Mum, got her advices.... and also some advices from other frds....
today when i made drinks for myself after i off duty, i remembered not to drink lemon tea.... it's sour.... and also the pearl.... it made from sticky rice... and remembered not to eat spicy or sour food.... so i juz ate BBQ pork, crispy pork belly and chicken.... that's good for my skin too... too many pimples recently...
hope i can recover soon..... i couldn't call Dad.... but still can call my dear heavenly Father.... pls cure me, God!!

untitle
got the news that another HK working holiday visa colleague suddenly quited the job.
i found she didn't need to work last week, i thought she applied leave for short trip... but i saw her name had been already taken out in the coming week roster......
another colleague asked me if i know what had happened... he heard that she got some urgent thing need to back HK....... but.......... this is not an excuse that every working holiday backpacker would tell?
i guess....... she's moving on?? i tried to remember what we were talked abt last time we met.....
she's later than me for two days arrived Brissie and Aussie, and she's already move on to next destination... the 4th months is almost coming.... actually should i go? worth to stay? or juz stay longer and go? i'm failed to get the busking permit ............ i'm failed......... failed!!! loser! 無鬼用!!! 下次下次... 下次大概可以............... 真的嗎??? .......... 難度我就這樣嚇跑無下次...............
go? stay? go? stay? go? save $..... 慳D喇你......

First Body Combat Class at Aussie
left HK for almost 3 months... that means 3 months didn't gym, didn't body combat. although i had attend the zumba class, it's a latino dance school... not a gym, no equipments, no shower, no changing room...
u know, actually i played body combat earlier than any dance classes when i was just start group X. i still love BC so much... it's still the best way to release all the stress... and great workout.
woke up early this morning (yea, a bit earlier for me... for May is later than normal... (Aussie office ppl used to start working at 7am..) i paid $20 for one day pass at Toowong Fitness First.... actually it's quite expensive since May said it can be $17 for one week... if i attend more, it should be worth it... if $15 per zumba class for 45 mins at the latino dance school.... and i found there's one hour zumba class here, it's juz starting from this week! but only one class for the whole week.... what if i attend zumba + BC non-stop? seems i never tried this combination b4....
BTW, i attend the 8:30am morning BC class... today is still in BC 44 new release, i tried BC 43 b4 i left... so the "shoot" is not new for me...
the cat stand changed to slow continuous front kicks than switch to side kick and hold... it's challenging... i can do well for the left side (i think coz my right leg can stand still and balance better)
i quite like the Muay Thai track... is that Muay Thai track? three right elbows, and a left downward elbow with jump....
surely i miss the ginga too...
even i didn't play BC for 3 months, and new release, i still can follow and cope with the whole class... yay! surely it also relate to the instructor, Yvonne... she's a muscular but fit instructor, i think the age is similar or a bit older than Rachel, the BC representative. Yvonne's cue is clear and at the right time. not much mistakes (although i don't know this release, at least her presentation is confident enough to believe she's got no mistakes, ar... no, one mistake only... while two hooks she did one and did the upper cut earlier=p
her posture is not bad and powerful enough (her bicep.... pretty strong)... she teaches Body pump too.
for the classroom, not too crowded, enough spaces, the ceiling is tall and they got fans (i mean the machine with blades that go round to create a current of air, not ppl)... so the air supply is good...
after that, i did some weight for my abs, thigh... i think it's time to build up my thigh muscles, i can't run the steep slope while running with May and Heng... i always change to walk at the middle of each slope... those muscles i built up at Body pump classes i attended at HK were gone already...
one thing i dislike.... they don't provide towels.... more stuff need to bring along for gym....
so HK california ppl, don't complaint on can't request change another set of towel.
no shampoo and conditioner provided as well although cali is not providing good quality of shampoo and conditioner....
the class after the BC class was Body Attack... first time see what's Body attack.... so aerobics.... i don't have interest to try....
anyway, i enjoyed the class so much today, sweated alot....
i used to use hand wraps, i didn't bring it (i've got more than 10 handwraps at HK! see the pic)
without handwrap, seems miss something, but i should learn not to rely on it... no handwrap can still fight.... the power is not come from the handwrap, but myself, rite?!

Busking
sigh... finally i got the result for busking... unsuccess.......
that little accident, no amplifer, not enough confidence and too tense .........altogether....... failed...
be frank, i actually don't have that much time to busk.. i rather prefer got some time left for going out....
juz want to experience how would it be........... i don't want to do it when i become an old single lonely woman, busking on the street, earn for living... that would be sad....
should i join the next audition?? when will it be?? another 2 months? again, how long should i stay here? anything worth for me to stay?? or wait if i'm going to melb, perth.........etc.??

work
seems so lazy to blgging recently....... let's talk abt my work...
this few day got special thing happened...
yesterday, i was assigned to work for opening... i arrived a bit earlier... when i turned on the lights, i found that Ronny, our boss was there... using his laptop working... he seems so concentrated and i didn't border him, juz turn down the TV sound after i turned on the TV.
then i do the things as usual, and he left b4 Carol, our manager came back...
******************************************************
when it was the time to open the gate, i found that no key at the original place. i asked Carol and she given me another key, then i asked the cook who made the Roti (i still don't know his name:p) for help. but the key couldn't open the lock.... i told Carol and she seeked help from somewhere else, she got another brunch of keys and finally we opened the gate... phew.......
*******************************************************
this morning, when i was back, i saw the computer seems got problem to login.......
then Alice told me today may need to take order by hand writting... huh?!
ppl still go to the counter, but we need to check the price ourselves, use the calculator.......
the order sheet would be have another copy at the back for kitchen....
but we never compromise how to write... i saw Alice used English, but afterwards, we found that the chef didn't know what dishes it is... so we changed to Chinese... and it's so complicated to write the whole name... and a bit different whie serving...
and such a messy.... luckily Ronny came back and fixed the computer... otherwise, at the peak time, should be die hard...
