Greetings folks, its been quite some time hasn't it? I finally have e time to update my blog after hours and hours of work that never seemed to end. Im in Hong Kong right now, enjoying the cool weather along with a hot beverage . The thing is , im not shoppping here or enjoying. Im working. Yeap, no shit. Im really working. Although its tough work, at least they pay me well. Then again, my dad has found me jobs to support my own living while im her ein hong kong. Besides dinner and lodging, i pretty much am in charge of my own expenses. Heres a little insight to what i actually do.
I work at this restaurant down in central. I work frm 8 to 4 and i all i do is serve serve and serve. The bad thin g abt Hong Kong for me is the countless number of people. At fucking 10 am in the morning, i actually get orders like steak breakfast or an english breakfast with extra toast. I mean their diet is just so unbelievable. Business is good but that tires me. Everytime i actually get to rest, some goofball walks in and just waves to the waiter(me) with that ever frenly yet irritating smile to me, and says "i'd like to order now." Work is tough i have to admit. I never stop thinking about the times i spend with my family. To put it bluntly the time where i reach out to my parents and money just lands on my hands with no strngs attached. Anyway, this what i do, ONLY in the day.
At night, i work down at this posh restaurant with a bar in it whoich specialises in its pasta and cocktails. I work as a bartender there. My dad happens to know e boss and got me into this job despite me being underage. But here in Hong Kong, who actually cares? Anyway, so ya i work down at this restaurant and just make cocktails. Basically have e basics right now, but its nothing fancy. I work frm 6 to 11. Sometimes, if its busy it ends at 12. And sometimes, when ur really out o fluck, you get e 12 am shift all e way thru till 6am. Yea, Happened once already. But again, the job pays me well. Whats even better is i know this girl from work, that treats me pretty well. Shes pretty and all, but cant expect more than just frens. Shes 18 and her name's Nicole. Anyway, ya hat sums up what i do in er what supposedly is supposed to be my holiday venue, Hong Kong. I get paid 300 sing a week and ya its good money.
Over time, i think i have matured somewhat. Money is hard to make and as a person that works now to support himself, its even harder to spend. Wise up people, welcome to the real world. Alot has happened over these few weeks. Its noting surprising but the girl that i got obsessed with, ( Erica, in case you forgot) is attached. Yup, i missed my train, AGAIn. But i realise something really important. I tried to change my self so many times to suit her but it never worked. Cause simply, that wasn me. Im glad shes found someone although it still hurts alittle. As long as shes happy, its really all fine with me. ANd er, NO. Sorry to disappoint you on my love life, there is nothing between Nicole and i. I discover im a pretty bland guy so im really probably not gonna get one anytime soon.
Gotta work tomorrow, so i guess its time i end it all here. If my friends or any of you are reading, i will be back on the 29th and i hope we er meet up for e countdown or something. If not, take care all. Nights, Ciao.
