Before anything else, Charlene Tay has left Singapore! ): 2 months passed just like that, when she came back to our sunny island for a break from Indiana University ): So quick huhhhh sighs ): I miss her already. Sent her off at the airport on Tuesday night with YiuYiu, Vic, Sham and longlost Kenneth to catch her 11.50pm flight. She last msged me at 12.46am to say that she's in New York. Hope you enjoyed NY! Ive only been able to see NY through a TV/computer screen ):
Y'know, things happen for a reason or two. Like when I typed, 'Zen has realised that being unemployed = no money! ):' on Wednesday on my Facebook shoutout and on the same day I happen to pick up Tuesday's issue of Classifieds just to looksee what part-time jobs are available and TADAH RIGHT IN MY FACE LOOF IS HIRING BARTENDERS. PART-TIMERS INCLUDED. WTF RIGHT! I jumped at it immediately la. I decided to go for an interview, see if they'd hire me. Sidetracking, I really miss bartending, I really do. I've been waitressing for the last 2 months before I resigned and everytime I look at the bar my heart sighs. Haha yeah seriously. I feel like my skills were somewhat there for nothing. But of course the true reason for me being on the floor is to train up another floor staff to be a bartender when I leave and me being on the floor gives me versatility. But still yeah, one misses bartending. So, I guess the chance of me being in the bar again seems to be rather high when I saw that ad and hence, I went for that interview.
I was interviewed by the Assistant Manager. He tested me on what international cocktails are there and the concoctions of the Singapore Sling and Long Island. I AM SO FRIGGING GLAD I COULD STILL REMEMBER! Haha! He looked pleased that the concoctions are still in my head so I am pleased too :D (I took like 2 months to memorise the international cocktails leh! Took A LOT of effort and I'm so glad it came in really handy!) He sounds really nice, so I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the crew whom I havent met. Being a part-timer, there's flexibility in choosing the number of days I'd wanna work, but to an extent- I'd have to turn up on Fridays and Saturdays since it's their busy days. It should be alright (: And as always, entering a new environment will mean new people to meet and click with. I hope my new colleagues will be a bunch of fun people to work with (:
The reason why I'm taking this up is also cos I need the moolah! I think I've enough saved up to fund my driving lessons (Mummy's pushing me to ask Papa to sponsor me for those.. I dont know if he'd leh :/) but I dont think it's enough especially if I'm thinking about the trip to Japan next year and saving up for my perpetually expensive degree! I'm thinking of saving a bit now so that when we have to pay back the bank loan the load wouldnt be that bad.
I'm still half a vegetable.. Haha.
OH YES I AM STARTING DRIVING LESSONS ON 2ND SEPTEMBER (: Finally ah! Cant wait cant wait (: Victoria recommended her instructor to me. I hope I'd get the hang of driving fast!
Gonna go Sia Huat buy a bar blade tomorrow (:
