It's a Monday night, after work at 4.30, I ran all the way to Bishan in order to join them for badminton game. Hahha, apparently I didnt play but the fact that we had a great conversation later during dinner is brilliant!!!!
There were Shaw, Will, David and me; all of the sudden I wanted to visit their place. So they we all got off at Adjunied mrt station. It's somewhere around 6.45, peak hour that you could see people squeezed, pressed and pushed each other like a smoothie blender. We were like a tiny petite piece of rice in the sushi roll that could hardly breath, hellish congested!!!! Now I know Will's favourite kind of music is R'n'B, like Alicia Keys (If I aint got you, we were humming this melody on the train b4 it got crowded) David's is Rock and pop, Shaw's more into Chinese classic =__= We talked about so many things on Earth that I wished the night would never end.
We had dinner together in a Prata house. Will ordered himsef onion&cheese, David got banana, Shaw happily enjoyed his cheese prata and for myself I called a mushroom. I'm not a prata or anything oily person, but gotta say the banana there is not bad, though the mushroom I had would rather tasteless. Despite the food wasnt my pot of gold, the conversation between us became more and more exciting. I asked them about their experience staying in S'pore, their aspirations, their dream job, their future plans, difficulties in S'pore and so on. I also learnt some bad word from them, but damn forgot it already. They were the only one who I sneaked the secret of my fake mc, coz in me there was a strong trust built during the time we spent together that I felt as if we were old friends, so I could share watever and knew that they wouldnt betray me. I was so relieved after saying it out but they all empathized with me, no one blamed or criticized me, that's a nice behavior in a freaky way, but I'm so fine with it. From their personal point of view, I understand more about Will, a guy who used to be a dancing assistant instructor in his college days and has a passion with F&B. While David loves interaction with people and traveling.
will told me how he felt when they work to their bone, much harder than the permanent staff but still their salary is lower, it's unfair but there's nothing we can do with it, so just let it be a topic for gossiping. He's only 1 year older yet he's like a generation more grown up than me. He mentioned that the job in Carousel as a waiter is not that bad, but he didnt want to stay at that position for a whole life. There was a thing that he said which really moved me: Value. To the old staff, It's the value they perceived at the hotel that keeps them working their permanently, while to us, our perception is different,that's why the job wouldnt last long with us. Totally true that I really salute him.
Out of the job- related topics, I also know that both Will and David are the smallest kids in their family, which make me understand why they are so carefree. Yet their mindset are really admirable. Will said I'm an easy going girl, which is still something I find surprising but true. He gave me a piece of mind that, in order to improve myself at work, I'd better set a target on my own every day, i.e. remember all the fruit juice, birthday song, table numbers, capacity of the restaurant.... By that way, I'd be able to push myself, thus I have a drive to achieve new knowledge and gain experience. I really appreciate his help and think should reply it right away by today ^^
By 10 something, they sent me home at the bus stop. Now I know there was actually a direct bus from their place to my home, so convenient =) Goodnight, good guys, see you today and the following days
