Hey Guys, I just got back from work. Been an exciting day as i jotted down recipes for yet another two cocktails. Bartending is very fun and whats best is you get to talk with the people there. The working hours r late and all and its very stressful at night cause of the good business but its really alot of fun and you get to know lots of people. As for my waiter job, its almost the same. I guess what im really trying to say is that money is important. Really important. Like us, if you are 16 now, without a job and hoping to make it big by 4d or by lucky draws , DUN GET MARRIED. Dun even THINK about it. Working life is really a hard one, im only a waiter cum bartender and im screaming for help already. HAven really had the time to shop but thank God tomorrows my day off and im going out with Nicole and Cory. Cory is a 19 yr old from San Diego who also works at the bar but has been here in Hong Kong for about 6 years. Nicole as you know, is a rather close friend of mine and so ya we're going out tomorrow, hopefully do some crazy shopping. Bu tthe thing is, me and Cory was unlucky enough to experience for the second time, the morning shift. But anyway, Life, its really not always a bed of roses. Sometimes, its a real royal pain in the arse.
Its the 20th already and im amazed to see how time flies. In no time, it'll be christmas and then 2005. I really like Hong Kong now, more than ever. I've really grown accustomed to life and the people here. Its really amazing. Today, i was on the subway, i had to change trains and as i was walking, i saw that people were running to the other train that i had to board as well cos it was closing. Nothing usual eh? The thing is, it was at 7am. Normally, people start work at 9, here in hong kong. But even so, to my amazerment, i saw this old lady that was pushing her trolley and running at amazing speed despite her age. Its like every second counts here in Hong Kong. How do you actually get to see that in S'pore? And i gotta say, the weather here is simply cooling and great. You should see when its in june , autumn i think. Its really darn cooling. Its always nice to be in Hong Kong. They speak chinese, cantonese, english, Hell some ppl speak malay! Come by if you guys have the time, its really worth it. I really wonder how all my friends are doing right now. Heard that all of them have jobs now and thats a good thing cos everyone realises how much it sucks. But at the end of the day it really pays off. i work 6 days a week, almost 14 hours a day but at the end of the week i get abt 300 sing. Now thats alot of money and hey im not complaining. Life's great right now. Probably gonna get a whole set of clothes new shoes, and definitely a new phone. Its really great to earn and spend your own money cos its your effort.
All right guys, meeting Nicole for supper in about an hour, Shall stop here anyway, Take care and in case i dun update this shit, Merry Merry Christmas to all.
