Arrival of a "KING"
As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat...
Well, heres mine, STUPIDITY KILLS THE SUPERVISOR...
Wondering why i'am saying this? Well, because there is a new supervisor at my work place...
Apparently, this new supervisor is the dumbest supervisor i have ever had in my life working...
He is SO FULL OF HIMSELF... He bosses everyone around, sets new rules and behaves like the king!
Its sad he does not know, he has chose to mess with the wrong group of people...
Before i start telling you people about the story, i'll let you all know how things work...
Before the "king" came, everyone worked happily...
Things were in order, everyone knew their roles, both kitchen and runners...
Due to the short temperedness of the head chef, the runners and ex supervisor always treated them with respect...
Everyone were like friends and things went smoothly...
To cut things short, the ex supervisor quit due to the miserable pay as a full timer and in comes the "king'...
He underwent kinda like a 3 day pre trial before officalising yesterday as the supervisor...
On his first day, he manages to piss EVERYONE off, both kitchen staff and runners...
He bosses us around, and sets dumb rules...
Quotes from him:
1) " Anyone who i catch skiving, out you go"
2)" Eh, i am the supervisor leh"
3)" Eh, faster faster faster, why so slow?!?!?!?!?!"
The following will be scenarios where you people will see how stupid he is...
(Scenario 1)
An old couple came into our half filled restaurant and sat down. They were being ushered to a 2 seater and they ordered quite a huge amount of food. However, our tables are relatively small in size and the couple will have a hard time dinning so they requested for a change to a 4 seater. *Mind you, the restaraunt is not packed*
Old man: Excuse me, we ordered quite a lot of food so can we move to a larger table?
King:Huh? Change ah? Cannot cannot cannot. You only two person must sit here...
Old man: But we ordered quite alot of food. The table is small....
King:Cannot, you all only 2 people, sit here... *walks off*
Old man:*&*(^*%$##@@!!
Nick:*Lol, then walks to appease old man*
(Scenario 2)
A young couple comes in and occupies a 4 seater.* The restaraunt is also quite empty* The king decided to act smart and splits up the two table so the couple was left with one. By splitting the tables, one of the table actually blocks the entrance from the kitchen to the floor.
Me: Jeffery, you split the table, block the enterance then how we walk?
King: Erm........
Me: Wah lao....Never mind....* Struts off*
(Scenario 3)
A customer has ask for the cheque and so i presented the bill, collected the payment and passed it to the king. Amout due was 50.85, so customer gave 60. I then went into the kitchen to do my stuff. When i came out, i happen to saw the change the king return the customer. It was over $20 dollars....
Me: Eh Jefferey, you gave the wrong change!!!
King: Huh? Is it?
Customer: *Puzzled look*
Me to customer: Sorry sorry...
Customer: Haha, its okay...
King:*Relunctantly walks back to the cahsier for the right change*
(Scenario 4)
I was at the kitchen at the drinks station minding my own business when the king enetered. He tried to re arrange the stuff and then he said.
King:Eh, these plastic cups ah, put here like very inconvinient. Why dont you put there???
*points to a small cramped corner BEHIND the punch card machine*
Me:WHAT?! Put there, then when we rushing orders how to take?
King:Erm...ya hor....
Me: Pffts....*walks out*
Well, enough of his stupidity scenarios. Now you shall watch or rather read how we GET back. We are not to be messed with...GRRRR....
First, the characters...
1)Raymond-40s experienced full timer, at least 6 months working
2)Sharon-Early 40s, experienced full timer, at least 6 months working
3) Me-18, Cute,Nice,Handsome,experienced part timer, Nearly 2 months working
4)Ella-21,New part timer, 2 days working...
5)King-25, Acting King, lost bird, 3rd day working...
6)Thommas-2o plus- Manager, partial owner of restaraunt, GAY...
(Scenario 5)
King walks up to Raymond...
King: Eh raymond, why your cahsier conter sooooo messsyyyy ah???!!!
Raymond: OH, messy is it? Wait ah...
*walks to kitchen grabes a garbage bag*
Raymond:*Swpies everything on the counter into the bag, including cds, stapplers, recepits, basically things you find at a cashier*
King: Eh, you siao ah you?!?!?!?
Raymond: You say messy mah so i clear lo, also not mine....
*walks off and dumps the garbage bag outside the restaraunt*
King:*Too shocked to do anything, no choice went to pick from the garbage bag*
(Scenario 6)
King acts in front of the customer, pretending to know the menu from back to back...
Customer: Whats prawn cakes?
King: Oh....erm...wait ah...*walks towards raymond*
King: Eh raymond, whats prawn cakes ah?
Raymond: Oh prawn cakes ah, you know whats moon cake not? See before? Ah, Something like that lo...*sacarstic tone*
King:...*Pissed off face and walks away*
(Scenario 7)
I was totally pissed off with the king. He did something irritating again and i walked into the kitchen cause i didn't want to see his face.
Thommas:Hey nick, you ah you, why so mean to him?
Me:Hello, i where got mean? I treat him very nice already, talk to him nicely and all that...
Thommas: Sure?
Me:Ya....
Me: Why you hire him ah???
Thommas:Because he has been working in the FNB line..Got experience....
Me: OH, but ah, having experience is one thing, what about common sense???
*Walks back to the floor*
(Scenario 8)
The restaraunt was empty and so the king was bossing around again. This time, he picked on sharon.
King: Eh sharon, next time please tie up your hair...
Sharon: But why? My hair has been like that all along and no one said anything...
King: Just tie la, what if hair drop into food? I will make you all wear caps!
Sharon: You want me tie? Can, give me $250 to go rebond my hair straight again then i tie for you lo...*Struts off*
(Last scenario)
A customer asked for the cheque so Raymond being the cashier collected the payment and went to process it. The king not seeing what had happen decided to act smart and collect payment from customer which is the job of the cashier.
King:Excuse me, the payment is......
Customer:Oh , i paid to the other guy already....
King:*walks to raymond*
King: Eh, why customer pay already nvr tell me?!?!?!
Raymond:" Tell you for what? I am the cashier...*
King:" Eh, I AM THE SUPERVISOR HOR"
Raymond:" SO WHAT? Supervisor big ah? You no need to eat rice one is it? Huh? You eat rice, i also eat rice, whats so special about you????" *walks off to do his work*
King:*fuming mad, but cannot do anything*
Alright guys, guess thats enough of bitching and drama for the night. I'll probably post something more constructive the next time. Oh ya, after knowing my character, the king has not messed with me as yet...If he does again, oh well, see what will happen to him next...lol...

Mixed Up...
Well, i'am kinda quite lost now...
However lost aint exactly the right word to describe what i feel, but thats the closest...
Anyway, i missed school again...By right i'am not suppose to, but by left my grades allows me to, plus i was really tired...
I was just searching for an appropriate display pic to relate what i'am feeling but i cant find the right one...
The ones at mess.be are kinda too normal or general..what i'am feeling is unique...
Haha, okay, weird maybe...
Oh ya, i got my first D+ this semester...
Damn, but thank God my daily grades and other test grades for that module should be able to neutralise this vicious D+ i hope...
I've got an anncouncement to make...
Singapore is officially INFESTED WITH DIKES....
What are dikes?
Females who behave like boys , commonly known as BUTCHES...
I just made a simple observation and i realise that there were so many of them...
Whats the world becoming into?
Or what am i becoming into?
*忽冷忽热,luke warm...*

MY WORST REGRET
Today i write the saddest lines...
I dunno where to begin...
My grandfather had just passed away earlier this morning...
I received a call at 4 am in the morning and rushed down to my aunt's place...
It was too late...He was already gone... Gone, at the eve of my 18th birthday....
Someone whom i lived with for 16 years, someone who took care of me since birth had moved on...
I don't really know how to react...
I am sad, real sad...
Not because i don't get to celebrate my 18th brthday, spend time with my friends and her out having fun...
Not because i wont get to see my friends at least till next week...
Not because I have to spend my birthday in a funeral palour...
Not because of any of my personal interest....
But because i failed to fullfill his last wish...A final goodbye...
It was something simple and yet i couldn't do so...
He had wanted to see me all this while but i , apparently was too pre occupied with my own life....
I received a message from my aunt yesterday evening saying that my grandad wanted to see me and i said i'll be there on friday before hof but i guess that was too late for him...
None of us had expected him to leave so suddenly...
We all knew he was very sick but we never expected this to happen, at least not so sudden...
I guess that when tragedy strikes, it catches everyone off guard...
I was pretty strong just now in front of the rest, i didn't shed a tear...
But now that i'am home alone, i just couldn't help myself...
Now i really hate myself...
Now, just hot from the oven, 3 more shit to worsen my day...
1) Module Selection Rejected (2) Disciplinary Interwiew with the Dm (3) Rejection of promo video..
This has got to be the worst birthday/regret in my entire 18 years of life.... =(
And i am the biggest loser!!!!
Welcome to the suck! This is life!
