I got a job

I got a job.

Today evening, as planned,
I spoke to the Chinese restaurant's boss, yeah, I gotta go on next Monday, Tuesday and Thursday for some 'training'.

The wages is not really high though, 20pounds per day for those three 'training' days.
After training, my timetable will be scheduled and I just have to work for one day. 25pounds per day.

Anyway, as my friend said, 騎牛揾馬。
I found a post: 找不到長工,也不能坐以待斃。惟有騎牛揾馬,見步行步。找工作不是我想像中容易。
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

At least, the boss is kinda nice in person.
He shakes his hand with me before we starts.
And, he said I can work more than one day if I want and there's need, and among the workers, we can swap too.
Also, he said, the shop opens at 5pm and closes at 11.30pm. Workers usually go at about 4.30pm for the dinner, and after the shop closes, we will have a supper too.
And, I told him that next Tuesday and Thursday it's kinda hard for me to get there at 4.30pm since I have class until 6pm and 5pm respectively. He said no problem, I can just go there after class and they will give me a meal for both days too.

Yeah, he is really nice.
Wages is not high, but at least the environment should be fine, at least that's what I hope for.

Then I went to a Chinese grocery shop and randomly, I had a great and long chat with 2 old retired 'uncle' and 'aunty' from China.
The uncle was a doctor!!! They just came here for travel and helps out in the shop. This is already 3rd month for them if not mistaken!
We chat about Chinese history etc etc.
The best thing is, they thought I came from Taiwan in the first place as they said the Chinese I was speaking is kinda Taiwanese Chinese. Well, I take that as a compliment.:D

Also, when I say I admire those whites' big size, at least moderate standard body, they said mine is fine! They said all that while from what they have observed that Malaysian who went to the shop, they're kinda small size.
'你长得不错了,身材高大的,我看到的马来来的人都没有几个像你这样的。’Then the aunty adds on :'对呀,而且还那么靓仔,不知道后面已经有多少个马来妹围着你了。。。’
Haha, I did tell them they are a little bit exaggerating, anyway, I take it as a compliment as well. Haha.

I used to it somehow, because always those who told me this, well, a lot, but all from aunty...Haiz...LOL

Anyway, as you can see, or just want to say...
I'm quite in a good mood today.
Since I got a job, wages not high but can't complain much.
And randomly had a long nice chat with two Chinese retiree and spontaneously complimented me.

Well, now, hopefully the training days will go well, tomorrow's photo shooting will goes right as well as Monday's interview.

原来, 人可以因为得到一个不起眼的工作,打从心里的笑出来,真心的开心。
那种单纯的开心。。。


I just stocked up, I mean I just bought 1 big soy sauce and 1 big bottle of oyster sauce from the Chinese grocery shop =)
See it? The bottom shelf.


I just got myself one of my favorite Chicken Donor Kebab from Woodville Fish Bar just to have a little celebration for me of getting a job earlier=)
