Day 31 of my working holiday life

Wow... Today is my one month anniversary in OZ! I have been here for a month! I have changed 3 jobs in 2 weeks time! hehe... and now so called settle down.

The life in OZ is kind of relaxing (boring ;p). Shopping malls are closed after 5.30pm on weekday and closed on Sunday. Sometimes just wondering what should I do if I don't work on Sunday?!! But I do like the lifestyle here, Slow and steady!

It's time for me to slow down and enjoy the life! Hope everything goes well in months ahead!

p/s: Happy 1 month Anniversary!

Day 28 of my working holiday life

I am having sorethroat and fever since this morning. But I have to take half day off and go for another interview. The restaurant is newly opened and it's very near to my house (walking distance). It's opened by a malaysian.

After 2 hours of training, they decided to hire me. The pay per hour is slightly higher than the current one but the only thing is that the working hour is lesser. After much thought, i have decided to quit the other one. I know there is a risk to take up this new job as the business of the restaurant is not so stable at the moment. They might reduce my working hour anytime. But there is always a pro and cons. So just be positive!


I have gotten my first OZ salary! ^-^ Finally...

Day 27 of my working holiday life

Happy Mother's Day! I miss my mum and my two brothers. They have celebrated Mother's Day 2 days ago. They gave me a call after celebrating with mum! This is the 2nd time i missed the celebration. The last time was 6 years back when i was in Hong Kong.

Today my restaurant was fulled with booking since afternoon. It was damn freaking busy. I feel like my legs are not belonged to me anymore. I have worked for more than 35 hours this week (no day off). I really a rest after this.

If everything goes well tomorrow then i am going to change! ;p

I wana dedicated this song to my mother and others as well. Happy Mother's Day!



你就像是我的‘天使’

Day 25 of my working holiday life

今天早上突然有感而发,到底我来澳洲的目的是什么!我已经连续工作6天了!接下来难道我真的要这么拼,不休息吗?而秋天就要结束了,我一点也还没开始enjoy我在Perth的秋天呀!

我真的觉悟了!我来这儿是要体验不一样的生活!我是来打工度假啊,不是过来淘金的!所以我一定要在打工及度假之间取一个平衡点!

就这样想通啦!^_^

我房里的小暖炉像在对我笑啦!

Day 23 of my working holiday life

今天是我在餐馆工作的第4天。

我的脚真的超酸!我想我真的好久好久,没试过连续站了这么多天,这么多小时了!老板第一天是还问我要做多吗,我还答说,可以啊, 我想做7天也没问题吧!看来,可真要认真考虑了!(不知量力的我 ;p)

一个经验丰富的香港同事还说等我的时间表安排好了后,就把我介绍去一间他朋友的点心楼去做part time。 我想到时才决定接还是不接吧!

这几天还打算去派CV, 看有没有机会找更‘好’的工作!

p/s: 在回家的路上,都会抬头看一看天上。布满星星的天空,真的好美!

Day 21 of my working holiday life

Today is my first day to work as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant. Waitress - I have never thought about it in my life! My boss is from China and he is a nice boss (as of today ;p). He requested his staff to be very alert to the needs of a customer. My shifts are from 11am-2.30pm and 5 to 8pm. So basically I have 2.5 hours of break. I can't go back cause the bus fare is expensive. Am still figuring what can I do during the break.

We really have to act fast during the peak hours. Serve the customer, clean the table, deliver the dishes and even to make a very simple chicken rice and sizzling toufu (chicken and toufu has been prepared by the chef). My hands were scalded by the sizzling plate. ;( I have to learn the name of all the dishes also. Anyway, I believe practice makes perfect. Gambateh!

p/s: The weather in Perth is getting colder. Can't really stand the cold while the wind is blowing!

Day 20 of my working holiday life

今天遇见了两件奇怪的事及一件好事!

怪事一:在等候巴士时遇见一个老阿嘛,她竟然要和我借20元。我当然知道是有借没还啊!可是见他是老人,所以就给了她3元!她还问我有没有多两元!我说我没有,她还不信呢!一句谢谢也没有!上巴士后,竟然还开口到处问人!同屋的中国学生听后,问我说有没有想过这么做很危险!因为可能以后会有一群人在那和我讨钱!还说我为什么不会想后果,不会照顾自己!自己想一想后,还蛮惭愧的!以后还真的不要这样了!

怪事二:上班时,有一群相信是亚洲学生的来餐馆吃午餐!其中一个男生因为他所点的炒饭里有一样他不吃的东西,在他挑的不耐烦后竟然把整盘饭打翻在桌上!拜托,就算我们炒错饭给你,也不需要这样浪费吧!真的好没家教!一点也不惜福!

好事一:今天试工成功!我要做侍应生啦!这工钱和洗车的工钱差不多一样(少, 哈哈),可是因为还算靠近家的,所以就决定接啦!可是中间有2.5小时的休息,还不知道要做什么呢!希望之后可以再找一份工钱高一点的!

p/s: 加油咯!

Day 19 of my working holiday life

弟弟whatsApp我说今晚的月亮好圆。我出去一看,真的好圆好亮!再加上满天的星星,真的是良辰美景啊!原来今天是农历十五!

心里也在此刻惦记着在远方的亲人及朋友了!不知道你们有没有留意到这一刻!因为当人太忙时,往往会忽略了身边的人及美好的时刻!

p/s: 真想用相机把这良辰美景拍出来!可惜我的相机没这么厉害!所以只能把它深深的烙印在我的脑海里!

十五的月亮
