Today is another day that is worth to remember....
Today is the National Day of Singapore! Hurai~ - -
people on the street did onlty wear clothes in red and white, same as the national flag of the country.
I really cannot deny that people here are really united and homogenous.
U can see by how they act that they really support and love their country
HongKong..? never..

Today is my first working day, after my long long break~ (3 days XD)
Becasuse I got food poison after hanged out with Ceci
Did create lots of good memory though.,. hope she won't regret to come to Sg to find me
I am really thankful with her act and I really dont want her to feel guilty to make me sick
Gosh..she also got sick when she returned to HK
She threw up for 6 times at the plane....cant imagine :C
I felt sorry for her too...
hope she will be fine

But the most worthiest thing to remember is I found Ying Ying, birth date is exactly the same as mine!!! ;'D
1993-11-26
So special ! So suprise! So !!!!
We are in same age ! But ih different background! So wonderful ro meet her! THank you so much, god.
I feel like she can be my sister! ;D
I don;t know why, but i can feel that we are getting closer :)
ANd I like that:)

My brand new start--- good but not satisified

Today was my first day working at Bar colement
Staffs are nice, I met Lily (Korean) and Christine (Malays) Angel, and Bill ....
I was assigned to work at the Deli, the cake shop of our hotel, which is rightly next to the bar..
acually not bad, not busy at all, but not much to do! oWo
But GM came today. unexpected...and keep monitoring me...again....shit...
I just ignored hime and tried to find something else to do......fine, that is just fine
time passed not very quickly or slowly...but I was not really tired..
I learnt how to make the hot and iced beverages, including the hot/ice latte, hot/iced cuppincino, coffee, iced lemon tea, mocha, and tea
different from Indulge, they had their own way serving coffee and tea.
chips or peanuts ore cookies are always served
I jotted down so many notes that I need to remember.....
And nothing else...

And park hotel arranged taxi for night shift staff to go back
it is such a lovely arrangement :)
I left the company at 01:05- 01:10 I think
and I can arive home at 01: 30
pretty fast!
And during the drive, Jessitah asked how's my first day at bar, and in return, I asked her how's indulge today...And she told me that : not busy but have no staffs
I said: yeah...but Edumar will come tomorrow right?
But she replied: No...Edumar will do sth else. He was terminated.
At first, I didnt get her meaning...Urh? what do u mean? Never comeback?
She continued, Edumar was terminated just now..He was called by HR manager, Security manager, and security guards...They found somethings that are belonged to someone else at
edumar's locker.........
Oh My God!!! How did that happen? One of the greatest teacher in my life!!
Impossible! I don't think its possible to do that...
I believe in him! so much!
I feel like a little bit being betrayed...But I still choose to believe him..
May be some body set him up!
He teached me a lot! And he is so resonsible, kind, and gentle, friendly and take his job seriously than any other persons at work!
He inspired me! And I really wish to besome someone like him someday! Being a caring manager...
I was shocked ... and a bit worried about him right now...
He told me that he had spent 9 years to become the manager...and now .... what would happen to him???Return to Filipines? How about his kids? my god..please bless him. even though maybe he really made a mistake, please give him a chance....please bless him.
I will try to know more about what happen tomorrow...at least I need to know whose thing was stolen!
Bye from now

2014 年 7 月 6 日 星期日 【微雨】

Today was my very bery last day working @ Induge at Park...
Finally, I can transfer to somewhere else....
I don't need to serve my loudsy boss Andy as well as the GM Mr Law any more...
Finally, no need to rush to finish all the things tidily on time...
OMG...the stupid GM has made the super stupid decision------ firing all the part-timers in order to cut budget....LOL
That's is fucking stupid u know..the most angriest thing is the fucking Andy told us not to think about losing the part-timers since whether we think or not think, they will not come back!
Fuck U idiot! U know u talk like shit right
He never understands the stress of the full time staffs
working for 8 hours daily for this extremly tiring work. everyday repeat and repeat, being monitored by the GM and now have at least 2 OT a week!
You fuck man. how can you imagine, no, expect people to work nicely under this kind of situation
impossible!
I was really angry and could not smile at all after hearing that knid of shit from my boss mouth....
Ar...I remember, on that day, I tried but failed to tell Chee Meng, the HR manager about I need to shorthening my internship period before I go to work
and when I just came to work, I heard those shit, so i became angry....
And Edumar kept saying: Doris, smile.....
Sorry about that....

Yeah...came back to talk about today....

Ar, yesterday! yesterday I OT !
After losing the part-timers, they could not open the part-time voucher for me to claim my OT paid,
so I didnt have OT again.
But yesterday night, we held a grand wedding. And the resterant was full
so edumar came to ask if i can OT
the moment he said he doesn't want free labor, is so so funny ;D
Actually, if they really do not have enough staffs, i will not hesitate to help them.
since I love all of them, even though sometimes I really find difficulty to communicate with them. But I really try to endure and understand it...cultural differences, right?
They are all nice people la
And I really enjoyed having afternoon shift, working with Jescintah and Edumar , really nice crew
So if i need to OT from 6pm- 10pm, it's my pleasure

And today! Last Day!
I didn't expect to have any difference
I just wished to finish all the thing neatly and tidily
I found that I would miss washing the coffee machine T.T
my lord...and i will go to work at the Bar next week
very excited?! actually no...but just really don't want to stay at Indugle anymore
nothing new to learn, just being tired and frustrated when seeing my boss Andy, and GM faces...

And today, fucking busy again...
even did not have time to go break!
more than 300 guests coming to have breakfast ... shit...
and only Me, Sandy, Saufei, Way are runners!
Jennefier stil pretended to be busy but actually not >.<
And Way and Saufei not really busy..sometimes, they will dissapear for a while.....
And Sandy....we all know she is soooooo slow.......fine...
non-stop working, plus very tiried (becasue of the OT yesterday...)
a little bit dizzy,, but still fine
after setting the table and buffet area, the guests arrived already
did not go break to have lunch and had not prerared the iced-water, tea, warm water and even the top glasses! All guests were sitting down, having their meal already LoL...my lord...
and this time, Jennefier told me and Sandy to take turns to have luch LOL...
30 minutes each of us...
I let Sandy go first, but shew returned 45 minutes later..... LOL
Are u nuts, so busy already.....
fine....I just went for 25 minutes I think...

And after lunch hour,,, every thing becomed fine and smooth again.,.
And Edumar came at 1pm?! And asked if i wanted to have OT again tonight XD
And I set table for dinner...washed coffee machine, yeah every thing was fine..
But I finished my work around 3:30 i think.
And Jackson, my assisant manager, came and helped me wash coffee machine .O.
He then said every one go to sit down!
He brought us KFC!
I am not sure why he did this, because of my leaving ??
I dont know, but Jessitah said he seldom buying them tea meal....
So suprised, but I did not think much and just eat it without saying thank you XD
He did not say why he did this ma XD then I dont need to say anything la right??
others also did not say thank you to him,,
a little bit werid but fine...
And after that, I finished washing the coffee machine and then I left.....
A little bit sad, at the moment, cos I did not take pictures with all of them
I should do that! find another chance next time!

And then,, I hanged around with Sandy after work..
We went to the church, which is opposite to our hotel, ar.. before that , I went to top-up my pre-paid sim card, and lots of indian? Filipinos lol.....the staff there gave me a water bottle for free XD
And then we went to the church, and decided to do something else before we went home...
At first we chose to go to Gardens by the Bay (my dream place ;D)
But Sandy really wished to go back to her hostel before 8;30 , and garderns by the bay really takes time to go around, so we changed to go to Singapore Flyer ;D ;D
where is located at City Hall! Our workplace !!
Actually we did not really know the direction at first, but we finally reached the flyer after feelig lost XD
And I was pretty excited when we find the entrance of the flyer !!!!!!!!!
Sorry that I really have no time to finish this dairy...but all I want to remeber is the night the sunset of that day was so memorable.....actually it is the 2nd or 3rd time riding on flyer?!
Even though I was with Sandy, (she is too shy and quiet all the time....lol...)
I was really happy, felt like a tourist, instead of a slave, a cheap labor working at Sg....
the view by the bay, the night view, the sunset was gorgeous...
the path along the bay was pretty relaxing,,, where i can admire the whole view of gardens by the bay,,, I am reallt glad that I had come to this place....
So nice....

But the very last thing,,, which is really werid...is Sandy suddenly went home by taxi after her mum caling her for 4-5 times.
My god... you are an adult already,, and your mum is in HK right now...I mean,, u don't need to lie to your mom, bu u can still say something like i will be home soon, no need to worry, i can handle it by myself..! But No! she did't say anything like this, she just suddenly became very frightened and said she must go now..and then she took a cap without having dinner...
I think it is totally non-sense....including her mom.....
and I really cannot understand......sorry about that......

Moments of Truth

Today is a very special day for me to remember...
actually a few days before, still many things and stuffs worth remembering,
but today is much more special

Today i was complimented by a table of guests...:):P
AR..I forgot to ask where they come from....
But I remember the smile on their face, feeling satisfied with my service and saying thank you to me..... :):):):):):):):):):)
And they also gave me SGD10 tips!!
I was so surprised!!　
At that time, I just naturally said "唔使啦" ,and they said "唔好 你收左佢啦 你好好笑容呀你唔好比其他人見到就得喇"
And then 我本能反應地收左XDXDXDXD
But after that I felt a little bit uncomfortable as they sat just next to my working station.
I don't know after receiving their tips whether I should frequently asked them what can i do for them :S
So, I pretended to look very busy after that XD kept collecting and returning unwanted dishes to the kitchen.
But actually there were really many dishes needed to be returned back to the kitchen la XD

And meanwhile, they asked me whether I am a Singaporean.
I said I am a Hong Kongese !
And they are so amazed!
I think most of the Singaporean here are so surprised after hearing where I come from
Is Hong Kong new to them?
But I can feel that they have positive feeling towards Hong Kong
That is a good thing la :)
And they said that's why my surname is Lau.. (they tried to pronounce it clearly XD)
And one of them asked is it the same surname as 劉德華's?
And I said Yes XD
she said Oh...咁你係劉德華個侄女喇
all of us laughed together :):):)
I think that was so called the moment of truth right?
delivering the best service from my heart and try to cheer my guests , be a friend of them
I felt so brilliant at that time!!

And after that, I kept on returning dishes into the kitchen and setting up the breakfast setting,..
And it was the time they left
I finally found that three long tables at waterfall are all their relatives, at least their friends
And all of them left together
The guests from the table I served most and gave me the tips,
they all greeted me wholeheartedly~~~ (feeling excellent)
And at that time, my superman boss, Edumar was there :):):):)
He also greeted the guests and saw how they thanked me one by one
THat's is the moment that I really want to remember for my whole life
I am really satisfied with my attitude towards my job and my guests
And one of them, the elder lady 拍左我膊頭兩下, 話: 你既笑容好好 我好鍾意你呀
I was so touched !
I smiled most happily and kept on saying 多謝多謝
My boss also saw that XD
The lady said sth to him, but I couldn't hear what she said...kind of compliment I guess XD

Actually I really like Edumar
29 years old, Filipinos, smart, quite good looking, very gentle and friendly, approachable
I really wanted to become a good manager like him someday
caring for staffs, cheering them up, giving guidance, assistance at right time.
I really like him.
He is the first manager or man who I really think I can rely on
Unlike Jenifer or Jeanette or Jackson, He really works with us! helping us at work! and care for us even we do not approach him
He always asks " okay ar??"
Simple words but really nice
Even, Ivan (Saizeriya boss) cannot do this
I am not saying Ivan cannot be trusted
Edumar can really give me the 'father feeling' but he is still young!XD
But he has already married and has a daughter XD
He is such a good man.

A few days before, he asked if I was tired
I said yes..And then he tried to grin me up
asking me about whether I have a boyfriend, let he be a boyfriend, I said no, you are my boss, (what a stupid answer...)
He said nonono.why i cannot be your boyfriendXD.....And turned out he has his lovely wife already XD
But what makes me really like him is what he said in his followings

I see you are hard-working, and smart and really want to achieve something, I can see it, keep it up
(Actually, he has told me similar things before, but at that time, he said sth like, if you do not keep it up, you may become lazy, somebodies are really hard-working at first, and then they became lazy, if you keep it up, you may someday, you can become a good one like me. At that time I was moved, but a little mad, cos I know I will always keep it up, I treasure the opportunity to work here, and i will pay 100% effort to get my jobs done, I will never become the lazy ones I don't like the way he thought about me that I may become the lazy one.)

But this time, I felt differently. I was really touched
He said, hotels are all looking for qualifications. the degree holders and experience
I felt a heart-to-heart conversation, father-to-daughter conversation
sth like: Here, the jobs are very easy, you may not learn many things but after you graduate you will learn and try different things and move on to the next levels
And he shared to me that he started to work, as a trainee in Singapore also when he was 19. At that time, he was very hard-working and finished his job very fast.
His colleagues called him bullet and superman XD
And he traveled to lots of places to work, Brunei, Philippines, I don't really remember XD
so many places,
he was a chef before, and also worked at a coffee shop but he doesn't like it, I want to work, to deal with guests. That's how he becomes today's Edumar!
I was very very moved you know.
Never ever someone encouraged me in this way, sharing how he became successful and wanted me to be like him also.
He said for me it's still a long way to go, but asked me to keep it up
and someday, I may wear the jacket and become a manager
and he also said that it is not easy to wear that jacket.
needs to provide assistance to staffs at the right time and care for staffs
Yea! That's what exactly what he is doing now!
And most importantly,
I said I still do not know the names of wine
He said no need to remember them
just when guests want wine, mark it down and tell the cashier and that's it

But the day after it, actually it's yesterdayXD
the content of staff briefing was teaching us what kinds of beer we serve at the restaurant!
Is it 偶然 or not?
I don't know. But if the briefing is he specially arranged, I would be really thankful to him!!
I hope it was not arranged by him....
And the briefing was super useful! much better than the staff training course!!
teaching us the process of making beer, the important elements of making beer: water, yeast, malt, hobs), and lager and ale, and what kinds of beer do we serve, where do the beers come from (countries)...how to serve beer, and how to hold the tray... very very useful
And after that, he came to asked me okay ar? the course? you understand ar?
And I asked where should I change a new glasses to the guests
He said the third time. you can see it, when the glasses is very dirty, finger print on top of glasses, many bubbles or the guests will ask to change it XD
and he added good question:):)
very nice ne :)

And yesterday, after work, he asked whether I am hungry.
I said a little bit.
He found me a hot dog to eat!! After washing the coffee machine, he said to me: sit and eat..
You know, that's why I really like him!! like christy said, he just like a father!!

Opps..typed so many already XD
Today is a special day!
I love my workplace, most of my colleagues, a little bit Singapore

P.S. the guests from the table next to my dearest customers lost her phone at our restaurant
i am really sorry for them. But I saw Edumar had not done much things about it,
But i think it's our responsibility though.....
Really hope the guests will come back ! But if i were them, I will not....

Today....it was crazy....
I worked for Indulge at Park from 7:00 am til 11:00 pm
Isn't that sound crazy???
although I had 4-hour breaks within the time
I was really exhausted about O.T.. . I don't even wanted to walk to home....
pretty tired and felt stupid...
cos we didn't have enough crew to run the restaurant
Way, Edmond, Naura and I kept on sweating.
It was fucking crazy since we went here and there for the whole night to collect empty dishes, pouring water and coffee.....
And only 4 staffs served more than 150 customers? Non-sense!

But the manager, Edemur, is a super nice guy.
He wholeheartedly worked with us all the time
Even if I forgot the name of the wine or fail to recognise the order from the customers
He didnt or havent blamed me :)
At last, he said I was hard-working and encouraged me to keep it up so that i can become a successful manager like him....
That moment, I was touched
but i didnt know how i should respond to his sayings
I just kept quiet and said okkk....and thannnk you....

Now i feel like i am an idiot
i should say sth more
but that's fine, i just need to keep going
be the best of mine
and that's all :)

Today is my second working day...
I start to get used to my new dailyliving style, living in Singapore..
And the duty of the work is ok. Not very difficult, just need time to memorize different settings and the steps of placing the untensils.
I think I still need more time to remember the steps
But apart from this,
I still need to pay even more effort to figure things out.

What I mean is that the relationships between the staffs, as well as the relationship between the family members, who I am now living with.
Felt tired already. AFter work...But really want to talk to my family and my friends about my new experiences
A day has gone. Another day is coming.
So fast!
May be 1 month can pass very easily?! And I can soon get back to Hong Kong?
But after that I will soon fly into Korea again.....Am I insane? to made these tight schedule to train up myself? Will I really become more mature?
I want so..
I really want so.

Malaysians are pretty friendly, the inferioir managers are also very very nice! However, the filipinos and the korean girls soyeon are quite cool...And the head manager is awful I think.
Today, the manager said my hair was messy....how come? Because Sg is so fucking hot!!!!!! I sweat already just after taking the bath! REally out of my expectation! Non-sense! My hair, looks werid after I sweat alot. But my job requires me to go here and there to serve customers!! It is so easy to sweat under those cirrcumstances you know! And only 45 minutes break for lunch? Does it mean any sense? No!

But I dont hate the job since it is 60% similar to my preious part-time job. I can handle most of the work. Yes, I can.
No matter what, I will do better tomorrow and try to be a nicer and more friendly person. And tidy up my hair at least ;-D
Bye from now.

long time no see....showhappy.net
It have been so many years that I stopped writing diaries via internet.
It reminds me how childish and stupid I was in the old high school days.
But never mind.
after tonight, it will be a brand new start for me and for my whole life

I have already come to Singapore for.. about 4 days.
And it is the last night before I start working for the Park Hotel Group Grand Park City Hall tmr.
Tmr I will wake at 7:00 am. and work as a waitress.
Actually I am quited excited about the internship work.
but I feel sad inside of my heart as my parents and my sisters are leaving and has left Singapore.
We came here together and we travelled many tourist spots already, including the marina bay, the merlion park, bugis, and clarke quay....
I have already been familiar with the MRT system and surroundings of the Novena station.
I think I will miss Novena station as well as the 3-star THomson Value Hotel...although its toilet is terrible, always having insects. I do love walking alone the balastier road with my family and search for the restuarants to fill our stomachs
But they are now backing to Hong Kong.

I really know I should not let them worry about me
and I should not have cried
But...I cannot control my emotion
I don't think i m homesick as
I think i am the person who can esaily adapt to any enirovnrment
but I am really missing my parents
I really concern about their health, appetities, feelings
I want them to be proud of me, and think that I can be relied on
All I know is I will not be around at home to take care of them for three months, No, for the coming six months
It makes me feel bad and sad
it makes me cry

But I know it is my last chance
and it is a really really really really really valuable opportunity of lifetime
I know i can get over it.
I can , i am capable of tacking these challenges
Yes I can
and i am going to sleep now and be prepared for the brand new start tmr
I am looking forward to work with Sandy and train up myself to be a better person
Yes I know i can do it

P.S. tonighrt I moved into Castor's friend's, Cynthia, house.
I will be a friend of her family, I hope so
and I really appreaciate for her family's great help
for letting me live with them!
I am a stanger, you know
And I really enjoy the huge room :) without any interference, just with some fei ai
it is okay la
I think tomorrow will be better than today!
XOXO

今日天氣多麼的酷熱
但我仲帶住把 " 姐 " 番學.. (amy話把姐有蘇格蘭feel ．ｖ．)

番學測中文+ Phy
琴晚剩係揭過下本中文....
今朝早d起身睇CY筆記
之後同Mum係大家樂食五寶飯
原來仲抵食過學利 　　（．口．）

番到去先恍然大悟
前兩日唔記得番去練oral..唉..完全冇左回事....

中文溫得唔熟..
Phy唔使講..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
我原本真係以為冇人來睇我既日記
仲曾經希望冇人睇tim
但唔知點解今日聽到大家都有按時來覺得格外高興 （．ｖ．）
搞到我好想係度打下野

突然覺得番學都係一件美好既事
可以見到大家
笑下，吹下水
實在厭倦放假係屋企虛渡光陰既日子

2009 年 7 月 14 日 星期二 【陰】

今日終於番左循道
有十幾個同學番
都算熱鬧
女仔們冇乜大既轉變
男仔們把聲轉哂，髮型唔同哂
唔係好認得．．．

最大既收穫係同吳同學一齊行番去 （＊ｖ＊）
估唔到係怡雅苑出面佢咁岩洛van仔~
初頭我都唔認得佢嫁
冇理佢一直行..跟住心諗應該冇人會搭van來wo （．口．）
我回頭望左佢 3 次...　　　（．ｖ．）
去到樓梯頂就忍唔住ｈｉ佢
佢好似唔多認得我,不過都有hi番我呢 （＊ｖ＊）
希望冇嚇親佢...
雖然好開心但仍然覺得尷尬...
尤其是大家都沉默果一段路....唉...
佢高左,靚仔左,靜左,沉默左,變左..
應該係因為讀書太大壓力......

係門口佈告欄發現而家新增左中詩班~

有部份人已經到左..
應該係太耐冇見
我覺得好生疏
好似重新認識咁．．
冇乜點傾計
有ｄ怪．．

姍既妹妹好得意
不過好鐘意抹枱　＠＠

梁老師好闊佬請食 KFC （．ｖ．）
張單成三百幾蚊...
我地秘密地寫左張卡比佢
希望佢搵到份更好既工

可惜人到齊,食野既時侯
就係我補chem之時
影左張相之後就走
我連6E個班房都未參觀
仲未探其他老師

我是多麼期待呢日既來臨~..
但結果同預期係兩碼子既事
有意外收穫
亦有遺憾

學校裝修過
係校舍裏面已經搵唔到自己以前留下既蹤跡
其實我亦已經忘記同小學friends既相處方式....
