First Day of Work and Eating Out...

It's might big day today... My first day of work at the dining hall... the Mary Markley Dining Hall...

So, i woke up quite early... at about 9am... well, that's relatively early, for a college male student, on a Summer weekend...

so, i had my early brunch... and started walking to work at abt 10.30am... it's kinda far from my apartment, about a good 20 minutes walk... so i reached there at abt 10.50am, and I went to see the manager, and she led me to the student coordinator, Craig, where he walked me through my job responsibilities as a headwaiter... well, basically, headwaiter has to keep those milk and juice dispenser running, refill them when the supply is depleting, and those pop machine wiped clean... and those cereals good... and that's about it...

that's during the meal session... after the meal time, there's some clean up work to do... it's not that bad... and today, it's not a busy day, I had time to mingle around, got to know several really nice and helpful people...

so, after cleaning up, wiping those tables and sorting those chairs, by the time we signed off, it's about 2pm... well, that's 3 hours of work...

went back to my apartment, it was really hot... the sun is really scorching the Earth... and dang, i'm tanned by just walking for 20 minutes...

as I was really free and had nothing to do, I killed the entire afternoon by playing Civilization III:Conquests again... yeah... it's really addictive...

at abt 4pm, Eric, Chia Chye and Kai came to shift Chia Chye's stuffs into the storage... several boxes, and a fridge... in fact, they moved Ren Jie's and Keng Yang's 5 boxes into the storage too...

so... i played til about time for dinner, that's about 7.30pm... we planned to meet at the restaurant at about 7.45pm... oh, forgot to mention the restaurant : it's Bd's Mongolian BBQ... I reached there at 7.45pm... and as usual, they were late... well, they did called ahead...(actually I called them) and knew that they will be late, because they have to walk down from the North Campus, which is like a good 30 minutes walk...(so, I forgive u guys...)

I collected the 'buzzer'... where the server will buzz me when there's table available... met Shi Ting there at about 7.55pm... wow... it's been a long while since i last met here... about a month... i think more than a month... well, so, suddenly, I was buzzed... *bbbbbbbzzzzzz* *bbbbbzzzzzzzz*... i went to the counter, and too bad, the other eight were still on the way here, so, i told them to hold the table for us, as they will be here in 5 minutes... and she's so nice (and pretty too)...(forgot her name) and she did hold the table for us...

they came in about 3 minutes later, and we settled down... our server, Rebecca, took our orders and those hungry hyenas just went all out on the food...(it's a BBQ dinner thingy...) and it's like $12.99 for the first bowl, and $13.99 for unlimited bowls... well...

so, the food is like, veges, meats and seafood, and u select from a wide variety of sauces and spices, and have to choosing what u want, u give it to a 'warrior' where he/she will cook ur food(simple stir fry) on a huge grill pan... and that's about it.... there's side orders like bottomless tortillas and rice too...

actually, this is my 5/6th time here, my 2nd time in 2 weeks...(i came last week to celebrate my housemate, Lei's birthday...) so, i really know what i want(meats and sauce)... so, for the first round... i had those rib-eye meat, chicken white meat, some lamb, and some pork meat, with some onion, and lotsa spring onions, and lotsa little-green-leaves-like veg that has this mild scent of celery ('yin sai' in Cantonese)...and an egg...

and the sauce : 1/2 portion of teriyaki, 1/2 portion of chilli garlic
and the spices: some fresh chopped garlic, and some black pepper...

so, the queue was really long... whew... waited for a good ten minutes for my turn to get to the grill... got it finally, was really hungry at that time, as I had an really early brunch this morning... so, chowed down the food, wrapping those meat with tortillas.. delicious... and after cleaning up the entire plate, i'm up for 2nd round... i took a 10 minutes break, catching up with gossips and all with everybody... apparently, not much that i didn't know of...

2nd round.... SEAFOOD round... I had scallops, shrimps, imitated crabmeat, and salmon... I had those same amount of onion, spring onions, lotsa little-green-leaves-like veg that has this mild scent of celery ('yin sai' in Cantonese)...but without an egg this time... not that i'm watching those Cholesterol... but they were out of it at the serving counter... and i'm too lazy to wait for it...

and the same sauces and spices...
and the same cooking style too...

so, basically, got the food, and back to the table and ate the food and chatted about everything...
It's kinda funny looking at those lethargic faces as they(ppl who walked from North Campus) were moving their stuffs into the storage for the whole afternoon...

so, we just mingled and all, and we decided to leave our seats at about 10.30pm... i think...
we walked back to our respective apartment... Kai, Mel, Vivian, Poh Yi and Ivy came to visit my apartment... and they loved my apartment... "ehemm.... eheemm..." MY apartment...
becoz:

1) It's nice and clean..
2) It's carpeted...
3) It's spacious...
4) It's AIR-CONDITIONED.... muahaha...

thanks... I love my apartment too...

so, they went back to their place at 11 something... and watched the TV a little... chatted with bro a little... and went to bed at about 2am...

wat a day....
