22 August 2005

I'd wanted to write yesterday, but, my goodness, it took like forever for the page to load up! so I thought i'd try my luck today morning, before i go off to work.... Anyway, life at Coq n Bull is like so weird. Business is really really slow.....during lunch, we can get like only 1 or 2 tables....and it's really quite pathetic.....even on a saturday afternoon, we got only a max of like 4 tables. And the restaurant space is so huge. I wonder how they even come close to breaking even. Dinner's not so bad...but....sighz.....and then i keep running back to Sebastien's to see them, lend them a hand if they need.....i told the outlet chef to kinda put in a good word for me to the area chef to see if i could be transferred back to Sebastien's soon since they don't exactly have enough people....and after all, Coq n Bull obviously have more than enough people...........whilst they are nice to me at Coq n Bull, I can't help but feel that it's quite a waste of my time sometimes.......sighz.....i really really hope the chef will be kind enough to grant my wish.....

Isn't it funny? The place I used to dislike most has turned out to be one of the places that I like the most....I'm even thinking of staying there permanently....now...the contest is between Sebastien's and Canteen...and whilst I really wanna stay at the former, it's like quite evil coz I'd already told the latter the last time round...... =( guess i shouldn't have spoken so soon.....but it's like both outlets are busy, which is good for me, coz I like an environment where it's challenging, and well, you've to depend largely on your "flexibility" and ability to handle sudden influx of a large number of guests....in the long run, you'd be more or less ready for any number......however, at Canteen, it's like when we're busy, i turn out more stressed, coz we've to handle both restaurants...in Sebastien's though, we take the customers as if they are playpieces...and welcome them....and at the end of it, we'd look back and say, oh, it lasted for only an hour.....and at Sebastien's, I've also grown quite close to most of them, and I've found myself a rather close friend....so, that makes working quite easy too...and politics isn't erally strong here either.....whist it may be present (just that i haven't noticed it much yet), the words of the ones who matter holds...so there's like relative respect given to them....and everybody kinda enjoys their job...besides the usual complaints...they take their job with pride....but, well, it's 2 more months before i really need to decide....so, we'll see... =)

So ya, darling and myself had a really wonderful weekend......coz i'm on morning on saturday, we decided to celebrate our 32 month anniversary in advance....we went to PS for dinner, and had Manhattan's Fish Market's food...it's a cheaper version of Fish and Co., but with more variety on their menu....however, the quality cannot beat Fish and Co.'s. But, we enjoyed ourselves, and then, we just window shopped along PS, and well, we indulged ourselves in buying 3 really cute stuffed toys..sighz..this is so bad for health..i can't help but think that our home will be filled to overflowing with toys!!! =) haha....it was really nice coz it's been so long since we had dinner on our own, in our little world, talking and spending time as if we had all the time in the world.....then we came home, i updated him on the research i'd done for our wedding so far....then we watched some tv together, and slept..... =) After church the next morning, we came home and took a nap and then had a nice lunch of my mum's Nasi Lemak.....had wanted to watch Must Love Dogs, but we ended up not going in the end...then we just walked around TM, see whether there was anything worth buying or that we needed to buy, then we came back to my place, took another short nap before we left for his home......at his place, we planned out the timeline from now until the big day, with all the things we needed to do and all, whilst he was packing......and yup, soon after, he had to book in again.......although i'm still feeling lost and rather sad about it, but this week was so wonderful, and i felt we'd maximised every min of our time together, that i'm also quite contented...and anyway, i guess the week will pass before i know it...and soon, he'll be booking out again....... =) 2 more weeks till he passes out from BMT...then we'll see where he goes....i'll just have to keep praying that God will send him to the place that's not only the best for his future, but also the most stable route for us.......
