it's been a while since i last blogged =P
holidays are over. uni started yesterday. what i've been up to...
working as a waitress. i realize serving food is rewarding (like bryan... haha) and that cooks are strange creatures and that there are similarities between them and surgeons. both swear like pirates and have short attention spans so you better get what they say the first time around everyone swears like a pirate and the f word is their version of 'lah'. one of my managers uses sweetie and the f word in the same sentence. more often than not your waiter/waitress/cook is cursing you while you're eating. especially when you're a picky eater who asks for no dressing/no onions/herb potatoes instead of fries/battered oysters when the menu says they're fresh/no watermelon in the fruit salad when the salads are premixed before the day starts.
but i enjoyed being a waitress. it's brainless repetitive work =)
christmas. we exchanged gifts. and i made a paper christmas tree from advertisement booklets. it turned out pretty good. i sang in choir at church. part of the time in chinese. half the time i wasn't sure what i was singing =P and i got an umbrella from phyo. that broke the first time i used it because the auckland wind likes to embarrass people on the street with umbrellas by turning them inside out.
my birthday. most of everyone was back home then. but it was a good time nonetheless. i got sneakers, some chocolate, a cute t-shirt and a photo album haha. and then we went clubbing.
i thought i had more to say but i guess not really. the new year started quite well and i spent my holidays very productively working and spending my own money. although at midnight when 2007 turned over to 2008 i was standing in the middle of queen street alone while everyone else was with friends and laughing and the fireworks were pop popping in the sky with the lights reflecting off the mirrored buildings. because everyone was either at home or working and i was walking home from work and couldn't get into the place they were working at. so new year's eve wasn't great although i spent it drinking with workmates at half price because we get staff price at the 4 clubs the owner of the restaurant i work at owns. (which is a pretty good staff perk =))
looking forward to going to Adelaide. if i still can go though... i miss kecohppl (even though i've practically disappeared from the kecohppl blog =P)
happy new year everyone =)
