My Five Days of Working

Actually, I planned to make an entry about my first day of working. But life was so hectic since the past five days and I only got my leave today, so I will just compile everything in a post. Maybe it will be just as long as it could be or maybe just nice and short because yes my fingers were aching.

So ;

1. When my kiosk supposed to have three workers and all of us only have eight hours of shifts but then one of us did not want to continue and decided to not saying a word to our boss, we have twelve hours of shifts now and it was so damn tiring. 10.30a.m. to 10.30p.m. on weekdays and 10.00a.m. to 11.00p.m. on weekends. What say you?

2. Our first day went well even though it was a grand opening day. We were a bit clumsy here and there but we managed to settle everything by time. Alhamdulillah.

3. I do not really remember when was it ( thanks to my short-term memory ) but there was a customer who insisted our 'pending' juice ( it was called so because my boss want to customize the recipe ). We were damn afraid it will turned out really bad but thank God it was not. Instead, the customer praised us for it.

4. I accidentally cut my left ring finger with the long knife. I am not sure what was the name but it was long and we use it to cut watermelons. Damn, it was so hurt that I almost cry. And it still do not recover till today. I think I cut it deep.

5. I cut my index finger of the same hand on my third day. This time it was not as deep as before but the bleeding was too much that I got panicked like hell. Even the customer help me to wipe my blood. Embarrassing of course.

6. Our MarryBrown customer ( a worker, he is an Indian ) spat out the funniest comment ever when he said our juice tasted like petai. I was like, which part of petai he was talking about? We only have apple + kiwi + guava in that juice he ordered. So, where did the petai come from? I do not know why he said something like that but it was hilarious ( and made the three of us including my boss a bit sensitive about our juices afterwards )

7. Yesterday's business was a bit slow since it was Monday so my friend and I decided to just rest ahead. However, there was a spouse who came and nagged us about being lazy and not even trying to promote our juices and accused us of sleeping while working. We were a bit off for the comment of course but still continue to make their juice. To add insult to injury, our fridge encountered a problem where the temperature dropped too much and froze almost everything including our juices. So, it took us some time to prepare their juice. And know what, they spat us with something like 'cepatlah sikit buat jus pun terhegeh-hegeh.' Yes, we were moody the whole day and my friend almost cried but thanks to our boss that he gave us tonnes of advice to cheer us up again.

8. Honestly, I think my friend and I was like a mirror reflection. Too shy, a bit slow, clumsy and more. We were just exactly represent each other. So, we shared so many things together ( even lunch ) for the past few days even though it was our first time of sitting together in the kiosk. I hope she was doing well all alone today. Aha.

9. My boss was so nice, I have mentioned it before. He was just so nice that when we were too busy, he willingly help us without complaining. When we were down, he will cheer us up with his advice. And even treat us lunch. Not to include when we messed up but he do not even flinch at it. I wonder f he ever got mad before. It was a pure bliss totally. I always hope I will meet a boss like this before and I do not think I will complain anymore. And he was damn funny too that we constantly took chances to prank him.

10. There was a yogurt kiosk beside our kiosk. We were totally fine with the workers except for that one Chinese man. I do not really sure but maybe he was around his twenties. He would constantly look at both of us with a smug look? I do not know how to describe it but it was so uncomfortable to even take a deep breath, yes.

Overall, working was hectic but it was thrilling. I slowly started to love my job. My hands smells like fruits nowadays. I do not think I need to bath now. Aha joking. I really hope we would make more. After all, what else did you want other than a nice boss, a nice friend, a nice place of work with constant smell of chicken porridge from MarryBrown and nice experiences? Nothing else.

Thanks for reading.

It Was My First Post After All

So, if you are reading this, that means you are reading my first post on my blog. To be honest, I will spat randomly in this post because I never plan this before. By this I mean I want to start posting tomorrow ( 1st February to be exact ) but then knowing that I might not have much time, I decided to start a day earlier. So, let us say this is my blog born date, 31st January 2018. 

Let us meet up in a year. I hope I can keep on writing by the time. 

And yes, when I say I do not have much time, I mean it. I will start working tomorrow. Yes, after somehow two months of job hunting here and there, I finally made it! You know the pain of filling tonnes of forms in a supermarket or mall just to wait them to call you back? That was totally painful because all you got was another fakehope. 

So, I will start working in a kiosk at Amanjaya Mall Sungai Petani tomorrow. A juice kiosk with the name Juice Moment to be exact. It is a new kiosk which means I will be super busy with the grand opening tomorrow. That is why I thought of started writing today. I hope everything will work well. This is my first time working after 18 years of staying at home. So, I hope I will not mess up. I do not know what will happen if I do. 

I only work for eight hours per day but in two different shifts and I personally think this gonna be hectic but I cannot complain because this is my job. My first shift started from 10.30a.m. to 2.30p.m. but I need to reach at the kiosk like an hour earlier. Meanwhile my second shift will begin at 6.30p.m. to 10.30p.m. Yes. I need to open and close the kiosk every single day ( except for Tuesday because I am on leave! ) 

The 4 hours in between should be my recess time ( cannot leave high school term ) which is more than enough for anyone else but me. My house is like 25 minutes journey from the  mall and for someone who does not know how to ride a bike or car, this is such a troublesome. Poor my abah who need to pick me up by 2.30p.m. and send  me back by 6.30p.m. And yes,who would spend 4 hours at a mall alone? I do not. Well, maybe yes if I got some money to be spend. 

I cannot complain and even if I can, I would not because my boss ( he is a Chinese ) was really nice to all of us. So, complaining would not help to ease him who spent almost RM10 000 only for the kiosk. Frankly saying I was a bit insecure about the kiosk ( obviously the untung rugi balik modal thingy ) Let us just pray for me, my workmates and my boss. Ahaks.

Okay, what else should I write then?

Oh I hate myself right now. 

So, maybe tomorrow I will try to sneak between time to write about my first time working. I hope my first experience will be a memorable one. 

And yes, this is my first time writing after quite a long time of stopping for SPM. And my English sucks. Sorry not sorry. Feel free to correct my mistakes. I miss writing so much actually. 

Thanks for spending your time here.
