Best Boss Ever.

I 've finally told my boss that I have to leave Boost.

I am leaving not because I hate working there, but cause I got kicked out of Panda's student accommodation and have no where else to stay in Canberra. Not renting a new place cause it just isn't worth it (will incur a VERY much higher cost).

Upon telling him, his first reaction was "Where you staying now?" (he heard wrongly and thought I am homeless). After knowing the whole story, he said he will try to dig out his contacts to see if they have a place for me to rent for AUD500 a month.

In the end can't find any. Not unusual. Cheapest rent here I've heard is AUD800 a month.

So we had a chat a couple days before. He ask me what are my plans when I go back Melbourne. Considering I can't leave Australia for good yet due to my stupid visa problem (still need police check up which might take up to 2 months).

I told him I'll be rotting away, being all jobless cause no one will want to hire me as I have a possibility of not being around during summer. I jokingly said I can slim down naturally as I'll be starving myself for 2 months cause have to depend on savings.

Instead of laughing, he looked very worried. He said he will help me and he really did (have to highlight cause I've heard enough of people volunteering to help but in the end disappear/no news!).

He gave me a lot of shifts so that I can earn money from him to last me till November.

He said if I am still around during summer, I can come back Boost Canberra anytime and he will take me in.

He also said he will be my referral, and if I want to work in Boost Melbourne, he call me to get the boss there to call him so that he can try to get me a job there.

I told him to give shifts to new people to train them up as I will be leaving at the end of the day.

He replied "I can train the new people anytime, but you have only two weeks to earn enough money to survive".

All these left me TOTALLY SPEECHLESS. I was touched beyond words. Felt extremely guilty,too.

I've been sharing a lot of stuffs that are not very nice about him with other colleagues, almost threw a fit and storm out of the shop halfway working cause argued with him, and despite all these... he still cares.

I have had bosses who cut my shifts drastically from 5-6 shifts to 2 shifts weekly solely because they heard that I am going to quit, and they rather train new staff, or pay old staffs who are staying. Never even ask about my well being, future plans.etc.

Gosh, I ♥ my boss now. He's the best.

And he pays REALLY REALLY REALLY well. Next two weeks's pay can last me 1.5 months. On top of that he's very generous with gift cards, and even profit earned..10% will be given to us as "bonus/tips". Where to find bosses like this?!  A lot of bosses I know of, would rather keep their profits to themselves.

I really want to stay now. sigh.


Glad I did him proud :

My manager and I got our shop's first 100% when HQ (headquarters) sent a spy to rate our shop for QC (quality control) !!!! =D

Goshh

Been working ,my gosh I really hate this week's shift.  

Sunrise shift at 8AM is definitely not for me. Every morning I wake up with mood swings, was late, got nagged.

Talk about work, my blood pressure seriously will go sky high. 

Freaking hell fuck guai lous. Guai lous/orang putih/ white people /ang mohs are indeed a whole bunch of fucking lazy people. I will fucking not date a guai lou EVER !!!!!!! Maybe I am unlucky la, or my boss is, hired all fucking lazy people.

They are all selfish, put themselves first and all.

I have to scoop yoghurt and all for Boost drinks, our fridge is kinda spoilt right now, so all yoghurt are rock solid, so have to use a lot of strength to scoop.

Girls usually avoid the yoghurt station, which is natural, I would try to avoid, but not as obvious and as often as them. If I make a drink, I make sure I scoop la. But guys also freaking hell , runaway instead. ZZZzz.  Make drink half way go stop at scooping cause they don't want to scoop.

Instead all my Malaysian friends (4 Malaysians in the shop now) and I if we work together, all of us plan to take turns to scoop, cos they (white people) are obviously USELESS.

With Panda gone, another one on holiday, and 3rd one can't really work so often past few days cause his gf was leaving AU so he took a few days off...my gosh, eventhough I've been standing there scooping whole day say from 8am - 5pm...all them won' t even care, Instead they're are freaking happy !! 

If I see them, they have damn a lot of drinks to scoop, I ACTUALLY HELP. WHY AM I SO FREAKING NICE?!

SO FINE, I endure all these, because moneys good, but DAMN my right hand now hurts like mad, and I get so exhausted from work. 

Worse thing is that I fucking hate my boss la. see me kena bully at work, somemore say 

"SCOOP FASTER".

HONESTLY, I ALMOST QUIT MY JOB TODAY. ALMOST STORM OFF THE SHOP. 

But instead I shouted, CAN SOMEONE SCOOP. I can't stand it anymore.

SIGHHHH TOMORROW LONG DAY AGAIN.

Nevermind, I am going SYDNEY again next Thursday.

FTS. 

terribly exhausted !

Ah, been working like mad since Wednesday and will be working everyday until next Monday. Next Tuesday = DAY OFF!

Sucks. Hateeeeee working many days in a row. Wanna continue my 3rd day in Sydney also, no more energy to make my pictures smaller.

3rd day got more pictures somemore. More exciting and fun filled , too! Cause I met up with my friends from Sydney. Quite fun la.

And my friends from Melbourne drove 8 hours down to Canberra on Tuesday, lucky them that I didn't have work that day, and brought them around. Even though they are the ones who drove. Even though the GPS led the way, but still, I brought them around !!! heheh.


AHHH

Been groaning about so many 10am shifts this week, and working for 8 LONG hours...dammitttt, roster for next week just came out, and I'll be starting work at 8 am, 9 LOOOOOOOOOOONGGGG HOURS!!  FMyLife !!!

Am soooooooooo not a morning person !!!!!

So hard la to earn money :(

Lesson not learnt.

Just 2 days ago, I weighed myself, and felt extremely depressed, cause I didn't see any significant weight loss, even though I look slimmer physically.

I whined, talked to a few people, asking them why did I gain weight instead?! In fact I weigh lighter when I was fatter. Don't tell me I have loads of muscles now after 5 weeks of exercising vigorously and work?! Why my fats are still as clingy as ever!?

Even though weight is just a number, as long as my physique improved....... but I have always been very dependent on the scales to give me a rough estimation if I lost weight or not...because I don't quite believe what people tell me. To me, whatever positive stuff anyone say to me, are just white lies.


Mirror = TRUTH! 

So whenever I say I am fat, I NEVER expect people to say "No la, you're so slim and pretty and tall and fair..etc" .

Anyway to cut the crap, yesterday I had a sinful dinner T.T

First staff meeting for Boost Juice, to introduce us the new manager. A few staff didn't turn up, a few staff left immediately after meeting...but the boss already ordered 6 pizzas !!!!

6 pizzas to share among 7 remaining people. Panda and I really wanted to leave, but we felt bad somehow cause we're quite close to out boss (heh, we're good at ass kissing).

We ate in the dark!! Picture quality sucky cause it's pictures are from my BB.

I had....5 sinful slices!!! :'( TBH, I can eat more, but I stopped at 5 slices. Why some girls eat so little ???Make me feel like a pig because I can finish 1 whole pizza by myself !!!!!

Well,  the calories of 5 pizza is equivalent to 1 k calories. Gosh, I am heavy and yet I ate 1k calories for dinner.

Went to gym after that nasty fatty meal until the gym close. Burnt about 700-800 calories on cardio !!! Was so guilty that I powered up on all my exercises (rowing, elliptical , threadmill) and burnt that amount of calories within 1 hour 20minutes! My highest personal record ever!!

Then today morning have cereals (200 cals) and a nut bar (225 cals) , lunch had Sumo smoke salmon salad half wrap ( 350 cals) and a few Boost smoothie (600 cals)  ...I think I kinda overshot my calories intake for today, so went to gym after work (-700 cals ), and had 1 nut bar (225cals), 3 apples (210 cals) and 2 orange (100cals).

In total I consumed 1210 calories today!! Sigh , my BMR is only 1.4k (meaning when I lie down on my bed whole day, my body burn only 1.4k calories).

T.T But apples and oranges should'nt be too damaging T.T

A treat!

Woo, its a brand new week, and in 1 week of dieting, you can indulge yourself in fatty / high calorie food approximately 3 times/meals.

Today's Tuesday, and I already indulged TWICE. haha.

Yesterday had fried mihun, curry chicken and fried honey chicken.

Today, =D breakfast ~

At a famous breakie place in Canberra:

Pronounced as "sai lo". Why all these words white people can pronounce when these words sound like chinese, but when we teach them actual chinese words they can't really pronounce. weird. 

CARB & SUGAR HEAVENNNNNNNNNNNNNN :

But even though I let loose a little on my diet, I still eat moderately....(I hope). I don't go entirely crazy with my food and its portion. I didn't eat 3 meals at one go =]

Out of all the choice, I chose ONLY this chocolate thingy :

 T.T The old me would've chose at least 2.

Really yummy !

It's rich and not too sweet. Just nice :o)

Panda's choice:

 Black Forest.

Hehe, even though I only ordered just one Chocolate pie/cheese thingy :

My plate has some smoked salmon and mushrooms.

Heh!

But not too fatty (I hope). Cause I've read somewhere that a slice of cheesecake can contain up to 700calories !!!!!

Arhhhhhhh. My cheesy chocolate thing should be around 400calories?! Lucky it's for breakfast.

After breakfast I went to work, barely ate anything and only sip leftover smoothie for 7 hours, and then ate a raisin bun +  70calories yogurt for dinner!

Not too bad huh !

But skipped gym today =( Supposed to go, but finished work late, and was extremely exhausted.

.....................

Remember I kept bitching about my new boss?
Well, today we bonded.
An irresponsible colleague of mine left work 3 hours early because she's lazy. She gave some lame excuse la, but to cut story short, SHES FKIN LAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So only me and my boss managed Boost Juice TOGETHER!!! My boss is new to Boost because he just bought this business 3-4 months ago. I just turned a month old in Boost today.

From 3pm till 5pm, people just keep coming. Just two of us. Running from register/cashier, to making the drinks (at least 4-5 drinks per time), to washing the jugs, to refilling yogurts (for the drinks), to juicing fresh fruit. WE BOTH DID IT.

Sales for that 2 hours was AUD520. Thats about at least 100+ drinks in 2 hours for 2 person ! It was intense and finish work 2 hours later cause of cleaning.

And my boss said "Wow, we did a good job. Some more your only about 2.5months old. But we did it !"

hehe, I am only a month old, boss.

But he was really impressed that WE (both him and I) made it, just the two of us, and we chatted while cleaning.

There were times we feel like giving up, and my boss even had the "Closing Early" sign standby, but it was just sooo busy that we just do whatever is on hand first. By the time the crowd died down, it was 4.40pm. 20minutes more to the actual closing time. So we might as well go on.

Morale of the story - suffer first and feel happy for enduring.

A LIFE !

This week work like mad.

It's now 3.30am. Tomorrow got work again. ZZzzz.

My temper's pretty bad lately =(  almost want to pick a fight with a fat girl in this club I went to. I may be fat but shes at least twice my size :@ 

She danced without caring which foot she stepped on (MY FRIEND'S) , or who she whacked with her gigantic arms (ME). Imagine a fat girl in a crowded club la, simply flinging her bloody hands and stomping her foot everywhere. I don't know how many times I got whacked and pushed. It HURTS ok! 

Actually I kinda shouted at her (she didn't hear - club too noisy) , but my friend (who's foot got stepped on by that 100+ kg girl) kinda calmed me down, and I ought to be ashamed of myself cause I think getting　ＳＴＥＰＰＥＤ　ＯＮ is worse than helicopter fat heavy hands whacking everywhere. 

Ok I got to be patient. 

At work also, kinda can't tolerate my boss, and shot him an irritated look. He noticed.

UGH !! =( 

Continue tomorrow. 

GOTTA SLEEP!

I really can't stand my boss, even though he's paying us quite well. LE SIGH.

PS. Rant abit.
HOW LA. Everyday get nagged. My boss is new to F&B .He just bought over the business. Don't know anything, yet want to teach me the "right method".  Methods he learn from his bloody training by Boost. Truth is, everyone works better in different method, not just the supposedly "best method" written in black and white. That shit is just for noobies who don't know anything, and thats like a starting point for them.

For eg. I wash jugs damn freaking fast already using my own way, and he has to nag me saying I wash them the wrong/slower way.  So he forced me to use his way, FINE, I did. In the end , guess what he say? "WASH JUG FASTER". 

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Don't let me use my own fast way, but call me wash faster when clearly his way is fucking slow la! PISSYYYYYY THINKING BACK.

How laaaaaaaaaaaaaa everyday I dread work cause of him. Sometimes I think its better to work at a lower paying job but you know, you look forward to work everyday.

I think my temper's horrible, because of the accumulated impatient feeling I got from work. Sick of it.

I feel like a timed bomb about to explode @ my boss. Sigh, and its just 3rd week since I work.

3 weeks of intolerable naggings, wow, I've done well actually. 

I fail as a Chinese.

Working in a foreign country, especially in Canberra, whereby white people > Asians (unlike Melbourne), its very common to be stopped by Asians, speaking their "mother tongue language" to you.

Whilst working at Boost few days ago, there's this lady, obviously from China, ask me if I can speak Chinese. My Indian boss straightaway assume I can, and call me to talk to her.

I told her I understand but I can't really speak that well.

So she ask me "那可是什么？“ ("What is that ?" ) pointing at the  wheatgrass.

(I FML-ed in my heart)

ME "ERRR...  那可是wheatgrass"  （"that is wheat grass" - I DONT KNOW WHAT IS WHEATGRASS IN CHINESE!!)

China woman " ????, 可以喝的吗？“ ("can drink one ah?")

ME：”可以啊，你可以喝in a shot glass or mix in your smoothie"  (you can drink in a shot glass or mix in your smoothie - GAVE UP SPEAKING CHINESE IN THE END)

China woman "Oh”

AND LEFT WITHOUT SAYING BYE NOR BUYING ANY JUICE FROM MY SHOP!!

Sigh.
4th year here, did a lot of damage to my Mandarin. I used to be able to speak quite alright with it. In fact, Mandarin used to be this language I was comfortable speaking in, but now...no more :(


I am officially a BANANA - YELLOW OUTSIDE, WHITE INSIDE !

Mi..chubby!

Working in Boost, it is compulsory to wear a name tag. Yesterday, my name was :

My sweet boss typed that on the sticker name tag thingy for me.

Today :

!!! FML.

Cause 3 girls was working, I suggested that 3 of us come up with a theme for our names. I let them decide a name for me, and somehow CHUBBY got pushed to me. One got "bimbo" and another got "munchkin" . Darn it.

And when I stick it on my name tag, it becomes "MI - CHUBBY"  T.T

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:"(

Aih, so dizzy whilst working the whole day today. Didn't know what happened considering I slept 12 hours yesterday and was well relaxed.

Then I thought back, owh! I had a wheat grass shot  !

Quote the website:

According to the Nutritional Supplements Center, wheatgrass juice commonly causes headaches when you first begin drinking it. People have also reported dizziness, with or without headaches.

So it is doing it wonders to my body right ?!  

Calculated my earnings for this week  =D HAPPEYYYYY !! 

New beginning!

Worked my first shift today at BOOST Juice Bar. It was fun !!!

Wow, come to think of it, I job hop a lot, and BOOST is kinda like my 8th job in my life? haha. If you include me working in my dad's clinic a proper job! 

But pay is good, job is not really that stressful, only thing is that I have to memorize a lot of recipes! 

Quite happy with my life in Canberra. Some how it is not as stressful as the life I had in Melbourne. Really relaxing here, the only thing lacking is the bf.  

In Melbourne, living in the heart of the city, everyday ...it feels busy. There's always a friend to meet up with , work at UNGODLY HOURS and sleep 5 hours a day. Night is day, day is night .

Canberra, so far I am sleeping earlier and earlier.  Since working in BOOST, I've been drinking a lot of juices also =D I feel healthy.

Wow, Googled my job place and :

The exact shop I work at in Canberra!

1 year here, and back to Malaysia for a proper job T.T Sucks.

My clubbing pixxx from friend's iPhone. Why quality so sucky one? 

We are all gone already, and when I smile, my cheeks expand super a lot zzz.

I was complaining to a friend why I look so fat in pictures (in denial that I am fat!)

My friend said "fat how to look not fat in pictures?"

F HIM!!

AHAHAHA camwhore pictures for fun.  I like my hair up there ^.^
