After working practically almost everyday last week, I am beat. And for this week, I am only working 2 days, friday and saturday(11-3),so for anyone who wants to pop by and say hello, please feel free to do so...hahah. My social life hasn't been that great these past few weeks due to working and a sense of obligation to go home for dinner, so for this week, I am going to go wild..hahah..
Almost at the end of this working stint, I am not sure if I will continue during term time, I have discovered that I luvvv working there. I've met some very nice people, made new friends and have met none of the unreasonble and difficult customers that people have warned me about(not really), but of course 6 weeks is too short to tell. Working can even be fun at times. Say yesterday, we kept waltzing in and out of the kitchen for food, the word scavengers has taken on a new meaning. I went to work on a relatively empty stomach thinking that it was a good night for dieting, no such luck though. There was freshly baked, warm out of the oven carrot cake to be shared among us. It really tasted divine, all buttery goodness and flavoured with cinnamon. Then after that, there were leftover chicken wings, fries and potato wedges which we of course descended on, before the irate kitchen staff threw it away..hahah..because we were crowding the already small kitchen. Then after that, I felt kind of hungry as I was working till 11pm, so I requested for a bowl of mushroom soup and it tasted absolutely yummmy, thick and creamy and filled with mushroom. So was the clam chowder. Both super calorific of course.
Calorific is a work I coined up with Stacey, which means high in calories. Stacey is this girl who also works part time in fosters and is from Nus as well. We became good friends after going to Provence for tunch(read lunch & tea) after work last friday and discovering that we were avid foodies and had the same liking for almost all the same kind of food, how rare is that..hahah. To find a girl who loves eating but scared of putting on weight, but who eats anyway, just like me. On Sunday night, we were both working the same shift, so I popped by Provence to get a bread for her. It turned out that she has also gotten a bread for me from Provence, what a laugh. I really hope that this friendship can last. I have one other friendship that lasted cos of food and thats Brennan, my ever reliable food khakie who is sadly going aussie to study soon.
Anyway, school is starting soon and I suspect that this coming semester, I will be more busy than ever. But in a way, I am looking forward to new challenges ahead.I will also become a trainer soon with HATC,where I am currently a faciliator. The name itself inspires awe and prestige, but it is not as easy as it sounds. There is a lot of hard work involved and for those who know me well, my fear of public speaking and thus stuttering and temporal amnesia is a great deterrence for this job. But I still want to do it, to overcome this particular weakness and I am glad the company is giving me a chance to do so. And I had this revelation, that whatever God opens the door for me to try, it will surely be blessed because He won't want to send me to my doom..hahah..and its true that for all my previous jobs, I have been pretty blessed, so this would not be any exception. Just remember that he can use my weaknesss for His good :)
