-A Geisha's Job-
1st thing first! I just woke up! Haha.12.57pm. Wad a _____. Haven't been updating for a long while! I know. hee. I've been partially recovering from my illness, partially slacking, partially reading books, partially going for theory lessons, partially have been reading classifieds (and now no more!) and most importantly, mostly sleeping! HA. Life. Nah la...kidding. Everybody seems busy with their own job, finding jobs,going for interviews and everything...hardly get to go out with them and u all! And i even got my basic theory test and SAT exam (Eve of CNY! Bah!) next wk!
The week that I was
SICK and I still had the audacity to eat good food at Marche to celebrate Bis Bdae. HAHAHA.
The moments when I look sickly...Do i? HAHA.
Presenting to UUUUU...the day b4 I got to be a
GEISHA (as a waitress in a jap restaurant. had to wear kimono which made mi look like a maid.)
(-____-lll)
It is said that GEISHAS can speak with their eyes, esp as apprentices in order to gain attention!
Soooooo...I tried...DUN LAUGH.
DID I SUCCEEDED IN LOOKING PEK CHEK?!?!!! DID I?! DID I??!!! Bladdy Lim said i looked like a clown. I think i looked like i got
SAUSAGE LIPS!The next day, she accompanied me to go to work and I knew she had been a geisha entertaining jap customers last fri evening...sooooo...
U SEE?! SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO SEDUCE MEN! I MEAN...LITTLE BABIES!
See the diff? HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA. My eyes are
DOUBLE the size of hers.
UH-OH.We went lunching at I-FORGOT-THE-NAME shop.
We were the only customers coz the place is pretty ulu! It was the place Anli brought me to earlier when i had my gums ache like i was bout to die. I ordered the same fish&chips (the place's known for seafood) and the woman did not hesitate to DEVOUR all my food!
HAHA. Caught red-handed. Wad a pig.
Oh, and for no reason, I kinda lurveeee this pic coz of the woman's expression!
I swear I didn't put eyeliner. Really!
After lunching, we had to cross over to the other mrt entrance when we realized that...
I ALMOST PUKED.
AND FINALLY...
!!!!!!We were strolling at Clarke Quay coz there was still 2hrs b4 work starts. Instead of getting into frenzy coz we got lost and couldn't find our way to Grand Copthorne's Hotel (coz beneath it is the place tt i work) and tot tt some magician had cast a spell to disappear the building, we called Anli a million times when she was working to ask her for directions (THANKS WOMAN!) and took a whole load of crazy photos. Haha.
This was right after I called Anli when we got lost.
MADNESS.
Rainy day! Luckily it was only drizzling when we went out of Liang Court after buying earrings and eating minimelts! HAHA.
I like this entrance! Forbbiden City!
And i like this Indian waitress! HAHA!
When we got tired from walking around in circles...haha...I told the woman I look like a samsui woman today and she...
We spotted a little boi and the woman wans to devour him like devouring her soft cream ice-cream!
EVIL! The boy's grandpa was laughing when i was taking this pic. Haha.
An
OBVIOUS sign to show that she doesn't let go of little toddlers!
Even statues!!!
Gallery Hotel! I like.
AND MY
FAVOURITEST BRIDGE!
The husky is soooo gorgeous! Ms Lim wanted to make dog meat out of it if it comes near to her. How evil.
And more silly pictures...
ZHOU CHU QU JIU YOU LUUUUU~LALALALAALALAAA~ Until i see this...
WTH.
We got bored we almost
SNORED on the pathway.
anddddddd...acted like we were pregnant ladies...
HENG THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND AH! IF NOT SUPER PAI SEH!!! I LOOK SO FAT CAN. HAHAHA. AND HER TUMMY LOOKS SO BIG!
And finally!!!
TA DAAAAA~
GRAND COPTHORNE'S HOTEL!!!!!
Robertson bridge. We needed to cross over it to get to the hotel. Satisfied look!
It is her turn to faint as she's going home and need to walk and walk again, and my turn to work! Hey I also did a lot of walking by waitressing!
My kimono that makes mi look like a maid! I recall seeing a School of Tea Ceremony at Liang Court too!
Geishasssss.Those are some of the pics of my journey to 1st day of work. Haha. Work was pretty exciting. And i was pretty
SHY! Sheesh. I had to learn how to wear a kimono by myself and remember a whole load of things!!! Towards the end i was getting better at communicating. Haha. No doubt I did several mistakes! Like holding the wrong side of chopsticks when setting the table, using the wrong cloth to wipe the cigarette dish, throwing the used tea leaves in the wrong place,
making the tea that's too thick in colour and the
FUNNIEST thing was when pouring the leftover black light soy sauce into a mug, the cover dropped into the mug that's filled with like 500ml of soy sauce! HAHAHA. I couldn't even see the cover in the mug. Then the senior whose name was Vincent, a part-timer too, who spends daytime repairing airplanes, was laughing like a prawn...HEI HEI HEI! His laughter was liddat lah. Haha. Then i got so pai seh i blushed! He helped mi to retrieve it but in vain. And Candy the overall in-charge, the woman who gave mi this job helped mi retrieved it. Haha. Madness.
Even one group of jap customers besides the ah peks and uncles in Chinatown ji siao mi lah. There was this group. I remember, table 02, outdoor table. This man kept looking at me. He asked if i was new. Then i went back to Candy and told her as i smiled when coming back. She said the way u pour tea they surely know that u are new lah! Haha. So i became more observant and did wad the seniors did for the other customers. I was exceptionally awkward when i always walked past table 02 coz tt man kept looking at me. All i replied was with a smile and a nod. I couldn't have possibly thrown my shoe at him! Haha. He's not cheeko lah. He's just...i dunno how to say...perhaps he just treats me as a newbie...like an apprentice. He even asked mi where am i from. And he kept nodding at me when he got noth to say. Zzz.
There was no customers that called mi
HOI HOI HOI like what ms lim said leh. Aniway, the staff's good. I feel like a toddler there coz besides mi being the youngest, the next youngest is 25 yrs old! They're all really friendly! I LIKE! They're all really caring coz they asked where i stay and asked if im tired, even the female cook! Candy even said i could drink water freely when im tired and bothered to ask me and change my shift till 10.30 instead of 11 coz she thinks it's quite tiring for me to change bus and mrt. (Actually I got direct bus home! Now den i know! Hee.) They speak in canto sometimes coz most of them are Cantonese, which makes mi feel at ease coz to me, I think that ppl who speak in dialect often feel at ease with each other, even though i dun understand a single word they say. I dun mean vulgarities hor. HAHA. Shuhui, a full-timer, asked mi which dialect am i from, and another funny thing...there was a private room for the customers in the restaurant...so when we cleared the table, there was leftovers. Meat & Tempura untouched. Then shuhui ate and told mi to try eating it. She shook her head and said
lang fei! LOL. The dishes were good ok! Haha. And when i see the bills,
MY EYES POPPED OUT. The cheapest bill was 120+, and the most ex was 380+. Haha. Prepare
MASTERCARD if u wan mi to serve u. HAHAHAHAHA.
The restaurant's owner is the chef himself, as Ms Lim and Candy have taught me. His name is Nagae-san, and hence the restaurant is named after him. Nagae Restaurant. Selling authentic Jap cuisines. He's really nice, pretty charming too, age around 40+ or 50?! Haha. Aniway, another
SUPER SILLY encounter! I was about to leave and say goodbye to Nagae-san when I was told he was in the changing room, so i went there...and
GOODNESS GRACIOUS! The men changing in there left the curtain half-closed! So i could see them u know...NOT NAKED, but u know...little clothing. OH MAN. They realized it and shouted YES?!?!!?!!! hahaha. They were laughing hysterically at the guy who's been seen by me lah. OH GOODNESS. I felt super pai seh. I quickly asked where Nagae-san was and then left the restaurant. Hahaha. OMG lah.
silly, Silly, SILLY! =XMy legs ache like mad when i reached home! worse than running 2.4km! haha. Im gonna work on thurs evening again! Haha. And leave all those silly encounters behind! It's a SUPER DUPER LONGGGGGGGGGGG entry rite! I blogged for hrs! Hope it covers wad i haven't been updating for a wk or 2! haha. How are each and everyone of u going on in life? HAVE LOTSA FUN AYE!!! :)
