My Week in a Summary

I haven't updated the entire week so I'm going to summarize loads in this one post. When I saw the job advertisement in last Friday's copy of The New Paper, I knew I wanted the job and I also had a gut feeling I would get the job (oh, yes I did). It's a part-time job at a cafe along Armenian Street. I have something for vintage pre-war shophouses. (:

Long story short, I LOVE MY JOB. The location is perfect for me. I have a wonderful boss who is skilled at doing business (I seriously got to learn from her since I may go into business with a friend after I've established my psychology career). I admire her for building a successful business based on human relations, unlike most businesses that compromise it. I admire her for giving everyone an equal opportunity, and not discriminating against anyone. I admire her for believing in the best of her employees. I'm honoured to work under her and would love to work with her for as long as possible (probably till I have to begin my own career).

I have wonderful co-workers too. Everyone was so nice and patient in showing newcomers the ropes. I screwed up like hell the first few days. Still screwing up occasionally now but getting better. My boss calls me a blondie 'cos of my blur sotong moments. Lol. I love the funny conversations we would have when business slowed down. We could talk about anything under the sun and still poke fun at it. I think it has rubbed off on me, because the way I talk now is getting flirtatious and feisty. Well, it's more fun talking this way, you know. :D I'm having fun meeting new people ALL THE TIME ever since my holidays began. It's not like I have to be friends with them. It can be just as acquaintances. Just go up to some random stranger, start a conversation or crack some joke. I do that with the customers, cashiers, sales assistants, or whenever and whoever I feel like talking to. And I feel happiness when I make them laugh. (: I know it is work, but everyday is so fun, it doesn't feel like work at all. (Ok, maybe during the peak periods. That one is literally war and tempers fly everywhere.)

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
