心情篇

不知不觉我在 starbucks 工作已将近一个月了，一直都在 post 表面的事情，忽略了内心表达，今天就好好的整理一下吧!! ^^ 好久没用华语了，感觉好生疏哦，迟早我的语文全都剩半桶水 ........... 哎 >.<
erm............ 该从哪里开呢? 随便啦............ 大致上大家都很好，很谈得来，很热情，很能玩，很幽默，很 friendly......... 才认识他们不到一个月，可是我已经可以感觉到当我离开时一定很舍不得。当然啦，好归好，防人之心不可无，外面的社会哪有这么单纯，居心斗角的事情少不了。原本还以为大家都是 happy go lucky 的类型的，哪知为了上位，还是会有拍马屁，backsteb之类的东西，表面对你很好，在你背后却............. 虽然只是那几位有野心的人而已啦，我只会呆在那里几个月而已，完全不会跟你们争，所以请别把我当对手看待，我只是想开开心心的工作而已，搞到现在我为了安全生存也要开始讨好你们，哎............. 为什么人类就是这样? 单纯点不是很好吗，做那么多小动作，有本事就靠实力啦，靠伤害别人上位，有什么好得意的，良心过意得去吗? .............. 我好像太激动了，事实并没有那么恐怖啦，只是社会生存道理而已，人类丑陋的一面，没什么的，选择只看大家好的那一面，生活自然好过些，这就是我的观念 ^^，只要你别对我下手，我也不会怎样对你的， 我相信人之初，性本善，大家好好相处就好。conclusion, 当作吸取经验吧， 迟早也是要面对这些事情的...........
erm............. 话说回来，我觉得这里的人让我感觉到的亲切感多过以前学校的人， 心机也没以前学校的人重，或许这就是华校生和英校生的差别，比起在学校， 这里让我觉得更有归属感，可能是我以前排斥 form 6 吧， 还是这里的人比较成熟? 不懂.......... 虽然我 prefer 读书 than 工作。才一个月没动到书感觉上我的大脑没有function 一年了，糟糕，快点开学吧 !!!!!!
新年快到了，也意味着成绩也快出炉了 @.@, nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
还有还有，我已经中咖啡毒了，救命啊~~不对，不是咖啡， 是绿茶， 啊!!!!!! 我中starbucks 的毒了 !!!! 疯了................
我已经开始胡言乱语，习惯就好，别见怪..................
无论如何，在starbucks 工作是我的选择，而我并不后悔这个选择，我会更加努力，做到最好, 加油!!!!!

( duuno i proud for what) if you are a good observer, probably you will discover something, yeah~ i am doing opening but now i still lepak-ing in blogger, cool huh?! cuz i am doing opening, they let me go home earlier, Kevin followed me at the back cuz it is very late d, about 2 am, very dangerous riding alone especially girl~ by the way, the he is doing opening also, cuz he is the manager, he knows the most, of course he must be the one who in charge in the opening ceromony, good, if i have any problems with the food, he will help me up, hehehehe...................... okay, i need some sleep before i go to work, or else tomorrow there will have a panda inside starbucks serving the customer. night!

day 8

ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
totally exhausted, closing is so tiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today is the first time i do closing, finally met all starbucks' staffs, one is Brendon and another one is Ee lin (i think her name spell like this la). Brendon is younger than me, he just finished his SPM, very funny guy cuz he is also new, just entered starbucks a few days or weeks before me. Surprisingly, he talked mandarin to me, i tought we will use english or hokkien cuz to me, he looks like he is came from kebangsaan school. then he told me he is not from chinese school but he can talk a little bit mandarin, then i was thinking why he talk mandarin to me?? do i look like 100% from chinese school?? whatever la, can communicate is good enough d. he worked middle today so we don't have much time to chat.
then today do closing with Victor, long time didn't see him d, Beng, and Edwin. suddently came in a girl, she is Ee lin, she is suppose to come on tomorrow but she got the wrong infomation from Victor, so i got the chance to meet her earlier. the 2nd surprise today is Victor can speak mandarin too, he spoke mandarin to ee lin but how come he spoke english to me?? what's wrong with the world?? suak......... then i can learn english more........... so, rojak language again.
today do another coffee testing with them, this time we tried breakfast blend and apple-dunno-what. the coffee is not as strong as sumatra, to me it taste better. closing has a lot cleaning to do, clean this clean that, sweep the floor mop the floor, even wash the toilets also, so so so tiring......... tomorrow will be doing closing also, but tomorrow we have 大扫除, so everybody will come tomorrow night, playing with the water.............. i have worked in starbucks for one week d, i did enjoy working with them, everyone is so nice ^^
