Anyway, I realised there are always people who can't pronounce my name properly. I think that's why there's this invented "maoling" for all. *laughs* Last time there was a person who can't really pronounce it properly, that is Nigel. He always calls it until it sounds like "moureen". Then I had a few teachers who just couldn't pronounce it and had to make it sounded like "maoreen".
I finally found another person. Who can't pronounce my name properly as well. *laughs* First he said "maoreen", then he said "mer-reen". Finally with my correction it became "Maureen". Then the second time, it became "maoreen" again, then "mer-reen". And it's like a viscious cycle. I wonder when will people be able to pronounce my name properly. Since anyway, it is already suggested by the spelling. "Mau-reen".
Then the kitchen staffs are calling me either by "mo li" or "mo li hua" or "er sao". I wonder how that "er sao" came about. Somehow they are using that suddenly. -_-|| By the way, "mo li hua" is more commonly used now somehow. -_-||| I'm turning into a flower??
Probably I should just ask them to call me by "maoling" or "mao" as well. Last time in Cine they called me by my chinese name because they didn't key in my english name on the time sheet. Especially workers from China. Then finally they switched to my english name, and I was about to be transferred to Bugis.
So today. My first so called night shift in Bugis. Transport was a bit bigger, but lesser people. I was the third to return home within 5 people. Then there's this willful person who asked me to move so that he could lower the back of his seat and lie down. -_-|| Same person as the above by the way.
And Yi Hua came today!! They sat on the table next to where Yan Xuan sat last time! *laughs* Fate probably? And when they came, I was running station 1! *laughs* They really chose a correct time to come. Because that's when I can serve them. Being a food runner or if I was in another station, probably I wouldn't be able to serve directly.
And I did inventory today. Not that difficult actually. Except for the counting of straws and tiny stuffs. I asked what "baby ice cubes" were and if I had to count that as well, they answered me by pointing to the ice maker and said I could go and count them one by one if I wanted to. New ice cubes come in intervals by the way. And napkins. Somehow I was supposed to count them pieces by pieces, or at least estimate out the opened ones in packets.
By the way, suddenly thought of some conversations (that resolved around a same topic anyway) which somehow bothered me a little now. I had to count stocks which are placed high up in the cupboard. So I asked if I could use a chair. Then these kitchen staffs said, "Don't take that chair, later you step on it too heavy then break must pay money.". Then I went on asking how much it cost. And my SC answered by saying it's $195, or was it my OM? Then either my OM or my SC replied saying I'll get a discount, only $150. So nice right? And they said it was cheap. So I even went on saying that they could just give me one if it was that cheap.
Next episode, I was high up on the chair when someone walked past behind me. So for precaution as well as our safety, I just said "be careful." Then he replied "you should be the one to be careful." which I thought was thoughful. But suddenly he changed and said he should be the one to be careful after all. Because if I fell, he would be the one injured and dead. So I said he wouldn't die, just some fractures here and there. So he asked hands or legs, and I said up to him to choose. Which then he said it will depend on how I fall and all. And I was totally tired of replying him. -_-||
Then now I just somehow realised, these people really like to joke a lot right? But somehow they also do personal attacks. I should learn how to handle this kind of jokes. Think think think.
So that's all. And seems like I'm able to blog more than last time when I was working in Cine. Seems like Bugis isn't such a bad place after all.
Must sleep already!!!
