this totally deserved to be reposted XD
1. Money can’t buy happiness but
somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle…
2. Forgive your enemy, but
remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help a man when he is trouble & he will remember you
when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because
it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then,
neither does milk.

ah well..its been a long time since i update...
since its been a quite a long time since i posted something...i guess i should just post abt the recent events.

-intending to chiong 2mths of work and get atleast afew spenting money for ns...which i anticipate to be in dec...oh well no choice but to quit TDS...a place thats worth mentioning abt...i shld take abit of time to review how i came to start work at tds haha...its 2 yrs worth of exp written into 1 post.
starting
---------
my friend initially was looking for a job to sustain himself...and he came across tds wif the help of his mom. so he ask me along and apply for the job. at that time, i jus finish year 1 sem1 kinda broke as well...so can say i desperately nd money. so when we reach tds which is at sunset way(last time there is only 1 shop). its a very strange atmosphere for me because i never work in the f&b sector before. my past working exp all belong to the factories. hahaha...so yea we gt seated...mel came out out and interview me and my friend. then we go home after that...afew days later, mel call me to say im chosen rather than my friend because of various reasons. i felt bad but happy oso, and so i tell mel when i can work and prepare for my 1st day.
1st wk at work
----------------
hoping to give a good impression for my colleagues and boss...i went early, but was rather stoned because i really dunno wad to do...i stand there and blur...1st thing mel taught me was how to churn ice cream...nthing else....being able to serve customers are..in her eyes,a natural talent. so when theres alot of customers coming in and the older staffs are serving i was churning ice cream because 1) i dunno how to serve(bear in mind i work in factory not service) 2) again, the only skill she taught me is how to churn ice cream. terrence the supervisor and mel finally bth and shout at me to go serve...i was like " eh? ok..but i dunno" mel was like " GO" then i "orh..." and this is how i started out serving my 1st customers...throw out of the pan and into the fire. its abit problematic for me cause with regards to the scoop size and wad ice cream is there. im still very blur. then after the wave of customers had gone then i slowly pick up on the skills. yeap...the journey is not smooth sailing at all.
6mths into the job
-------------------
met new friends and colleagues, still very blur as always. cos i dun really work alot i din have the chance to learn alot of things, rmb terrence blow up on me because i was cleaning the glass halfway...then my hands are black then terrence want me to serve customers but i nd to wash hands in order to do that...dun see why he cant serve the customers 1st...totally piss off wif him. then like mel later talk to us separately, i had cool down le so i did apologise in the end...since he is the BIG ALMIGHTY SUPERVISOR...he dun like me and i dun like him either...so its there, 1 enemy. and i purposely work on the days he gt off. cos i jus dunwan to see him, everyday see him , he will scold me one...argh.
1yr into the job
----------------
begin to realise jus how long i have manage to keep this job, cos i part time study and work. time jus pass without me knowing and in a blink of an eye, 1 yr gone le. my pay rise steadily and i know more and more flavours, how to scoop, how to churn and how to promote our products. i wont say i have much talent in this aspect but i do know how to serve all that...the ending tasks i have all done from A-D all except E. last time theres oso XYZ where staff nd to sing 'closing song' to drive customers away. oh well...the trended gt killed by me haha...i jus dunwan to do it. then later changed to F which is 'extra staff'.
1 and 1/2 yrs into the job
--------------------------
gt news that the new branch in holland v is setting up...though i feel happy for the Co. i dunwan to leave sunset way...cos its near my home and sch and not a bother to go after sch...if i gt transferred to hv, then the only bus i can take is 61 from sch...which 61 as u all know is an ass to wait for if u miss it. and my results are not as good as i wanted...so i began to work lesser...but in times to come...i realise that mel wants to post me to the new shop cos she wants afew exp ppl over there...but i felt that having 2 shops now means those pro ones will remain at sunset way. the not so good ones will be at hv. felt abit sad...but oh wells...i told mel that if any side needs ppl i can go...since im alrdy used to be a weekend warrior ahaha. she said ok...yay!
rmb the time when i go and see the new shop for the 1st time...my 1st impression is...BIG..and SPACIOUS....then comes the problem on how to convey the waffle orders to the kitchen...ah well, in the end tat was settled.(to wad it is now) new staffs were hired espacially the kitchen staff...now mel hires some ppl jus for doing D, dishwashing. and some of them cannot adapt the cold environment. by then im considered an all rounder...so i do most of the things afew here afew there...when the new shop officially opened, there was little customers...then slowly the numbers grew. so i over there sometimes undertake the role of the 'teacher' and teach those newcomers how to churn ice cream...serve waffles, scoop ice cream and bla bla bla....but i never felt good enough to teach, reason being i believe i still have much more to learn. and me teaching will end up in disaster...haha...
2yrs into the job
-----------------
gotten used to the environment in holland v, knw wad to do and all that le....even gt the guts to check waffles and make waffle mix...do waffle flour...gt sick of hv's food variety haha...met new colleagues again...very good ones that learn fast enough....began to do E after a long time...like it cos no nd to do other brainless physical labour...task E is brain work...the only task that needs to kill brain cells
last mth of working
--------------------
before i gt my ns letter i told myself that i would quit this job 1 mth early so that i can prepare. to enjoy my civilian life before going for a 2 yrs stint in ns. never though wad i said would came true so early. and during 2nd last wk of my work. 2 new girls came to work...grace and josephine. grace's teacher was crystalbel and josephine's teacher is well...me. haha. and the way she came to the shop really remind me of my 1st day at work on my 1st day at tds...stoned and follow me around for the 1st day...cos she dunno anything...and i have to teach her the basics...i was stumped...cos too many things to know so little time so...wad shall i teach her 1st? impt skill no. 1! how to scoop a ice cream. lol...show her my hand technique..dunno if she mastered it le mah...then show her how to serve a customer. then lol...like how mel and terrence teach me how to serve...i let her serve her 1st customer...of cos wif me beside her to help this time rather than wad i exp. lol. later i ask her if this is her 1st time working in an f&b job. she say yes and that this is her 2nd job...o.o! no wonder. hahaa...the world is just too small...to think i met some1 who is so similiar to me in term of work exp. in tds...knowing absolutely nothing. and to top it off, SHE LIVE NEAR ME thats like after 2 yrs of going home alone, i gt some1 to talk to on the way home...couldnt felt happier than that...but the sad thing is...i only left 2 wks until i quit. so yea...happiness is short-lived...or so i thought it is.
