24 hours

of what?


In the new place where I am currently on the embarkment of a new journey in life called Singapore, 24 hours of my time was spent in a new experience, working. Yes I took up a part-time job because it was simply too boring during the nights! Oh how I hope there will be internet access in my rented room...

Anyway, I now have a part-time job as a waiter in a little restaurant or tea place where Chinese dim sum and desserts are served. The wages aren't very attractive though, flexibility of working hours is priority.

For every new staff, there's this 24-hour thing to go through whereby the pay is much less. It is sort of like a probation period or training so-to-say. Mine was over in two weeks and now I am earning some side pocket money, by hour. The 24 hours was quite fun, getting along with the staff there, most of which are females. Again... Like I don't see enough girls in class everyday.....now working also have to work with girls!
Haha, never mind, lots of boys out there are probably jealous.

Working, serving customers isn't easy no matter how simple the tasks may seem, it really isn't easy. Kudos to those who really have a heart of service!
Serving is humbling, it is good though difficult to be humble. Therefore it is good but difficult to serve.

Your perspective towards the food business change when you look at things from the inside.
Your attitude towards waiters and waitresses changes when you start to become one.
Your eating habits might change after having seen certain things in this business.


Now, I make extra efforts to not make a mess on the table whenever I eat, and feel more irritated(than before) to see food being wasted.

Everybody should try working as a food server at least once in their lifetime.

24 hours of preparation to serve restaurant customers better,

serving them, preparing self to serve the public in the healthcare sector

even better!
