7th July 2005

I've finally survived almost a week in Greenwood.....Man...i tell you, that place is so "ulu"...you wouldn't even know it exists unless you've been there before!! Yet, the people from there claim that all 3 outlets do almost 100plus covers each weekend!! It's further in from NJC and RGPS.....really really in.....and...the houses there are really to die for...now i know why the New Paper said that Bukit Timah is the richest housing estate in Singapore...you just have to look at the homes and you'll know why....

My first day at Sebastien's was SO horrible i almost cried on my way out...when HR told me that the culture would be different, i didn't expect it to be that way.......nobody spoke to me at all...and.....sighz...i really felt more of an intruder than anything else....but at Peperoni, it was so much more different...was transferred there coz they lack manpower....and now, i'm learning to make pizzas....hehe...it's really really fun, maybe coz i'm just learning, but...ya, it's hard work too......it almost feels like a chinese kitchen, coz everybody speaks in dialect, Cantonese...thank God i can understand....and Jay Chou's music is blasting from their radio the entire day!! (Same goes for Sebastien's) I think this people are seriously in love with his music or something.... Peperoni really gives you the feeling of a family-run business coz of the ambience and the layout and everything....and the sizes of the pizzas are crazy! the largest size is like 21-inches! and i heard that last week, some person ordered 180 pizzas for takeaway!! sheesh...business really seems to be booming here.....the amount of mise-en-place i do is enough to show me that.....but, it really is eye-opening......i love going on split-shifts here too....coz it's a shophouse and all, so we get proper beds to sleep on!! haha...that's the greatest.....

However, due to the amount of preparation they have to do all the time, and also coz they ALL work such long hours, and are so tired, their kitchens are all very dirty...not filthy, they just look very worn-out......and the size is also very very small....but it truly gives you the feel of a "house" kinda thing.....we even get to walk around in our chef's uniform......during service time...though of course, it's not very encouraged.........their pastas are good too....=) if not for the stupid distance, which takes me almost 2 hours.....i would consider peperoni as well...just the bus-ride on 67 takes me 1 and a half hours...of course, i could take the train and transfer, etc etc, but....why go through all that hassle when i can sleep on the bus for 45 mins, and wake up after a sound nap to find out that i'm still about 20 mins away from my destination? Unless i'm in a hurry, i'd definitely take the longer way out.... =) lazy old me....hehe...

This place is really quite fun, and they quite take care of me, like i'm their little sister and all..... so...yup....oh ya....the other best part is i get to schedule my own roster! haha...their afraid of tiring me out...so they let me choose my day off and all, and coz i really wanna spend time with my darling, told them to give me off on sunday, or else, morning shift.....the rest of the days, i leave it to them... =)

It's already thursday...yay.......i'll be seeing my darling soon...can't wait....miss him so much, especially coz of the long bus rides i keep taking..... then feel so lonely and all...sighz......wish he can just come back now.....we've made a decision about our future....that we'd save up as much as we can first, and once we have sufficient cash to lay downpayment for our dream house, we'll buy it....and after that, whilst we save and all, we'll simultaneously do renovations to the house whilst keeping money aside for the wedding and plan for it and all....this might result in us not being able to have as grand a wedding as we had dreamed off...but who cares?? What matters is that we get ourselves married to each other, whilst owning our house at the same time!! After all, that's the advice his granny gave to us....that it's better to own a house before getting married...that way, we won't be covered in so many debts.... =)

okie then....darling's gonna call me any minute now...so i'll write another time!! Hope i'll learn to make pizzas, peperoni style, by the time i leave!!!
