My Current Job





After the suckx job in Athlone,I found another job in Athboy and Trim...The shop name is Marigold(Malay Cake 马来糕)...I took Bus Eireann from Dublin city centre to Athboy...one n a half hour...which means it's quite far from Highfield...the first colleague that I met here is Chrissy[M.S.Kuala Lumpur],she is suppose to work in Trim(main shop),because the counter that work here before had back to Msia so the boss had to employ me...(that's why Im here...lol)...and Chrissy is forced to come here to substitude this post(work here is quite senang,can use computer while no customers!!!)...and I also met Tin Chi[H.K.],Ken[M.S. Bercham],Ah Lam[C.N.],Ah Kei[H.K.] and Ah Wai[M.S. Ipoh]...actually a lot of Malaysians here lol...especially Ipoh ppl...

The second day,Ah Kei told me n Ah Wai(cuz he is a new guy too) to pack our things cuz boss asked us to move to Trim for training...well,I wonder what the hell and why the hell we need to be trained? cuz I told the boss before I came here,that I am an experienced counter which worked for few months edy...(that's true!)...then why still need to be trained? and the shop in Trim is a restaurant+take away so I need to wear uniform(black suits and trousers,and black shoe)...Well,before our boss arrive,Chrissy told me what to do and what should I do when working in Trim cuz that shop is our main store...(actually they hav 3 store,Athboy,Trim n Swords)

Our boss is Tony,and he came with his son...before I leave,Ken told me to CHAP SANG...This made me feel very uncomfortable and worry...after about 15minutes we reached Trim...I felt nervous and a bit worried because hav to face new colleague and our SITAO POH(most powerful person here)...the situation in Trim is totally different...The boss guided us to the kitchen and then I met my colleague Elise(counter+waitress)...everyone here is busy doing their job and very serious when working(it seems scary and I thought they were unfriendly!)...

After I changed my clothes in toilet(still wearing the Nike shoe cuz I had no black shoe)...I started working...Elise said I am a fast learner(of coz,cuz I hav a pro coach,which is Joe!)...it's much tiring to work here because we hav to walk from counter to the kitchen to put in an order...and there's quite a far distance...at night after boss leave Elise introduce me to everyone...

Marigold Trim
Tony=Boss+chef+driver [H.K.]
Linda=Boss's wife+chef+driver [H.K.]

Well,working in Marigold is quite ok...but hav many gossips and no teamwork...everyone are dangerous and they are hard to guess...last week,just because Chrissy don't let the kitchen to order some fish...then a big big news began...everyone were busy gossip about this news and so on...mayb those who work inside kitchen very bored or what,they always like to spread something,or exaggarate every single details...but now Im still new,so no one will tease me...unless I unintentionally damage someone...everyone here is crafty,or mayb not...but it's just so hard to guess cuz someone say he/she not good,and other ppl say he/she good or something...it's very confusing and it makes me always build an invisible wall between myself and everyone else...

Last week's Sunday 5 of us(young geh), played drinking game and drunk at Trim...this made Sonkoi felt very unhappy and almost gone mad because he asked me not to drink any alcohol...cuz mayb someone will put drug inside or whatever...actually I should not hav any alcohol because that time quite dangerous...Ah Wai keep force me to drink...and I also vomit after drink wine+beer...luckily nothing happen after that...

Ah Kei(he said he wants to be my father worrrr),treat me very good but he is very very 8...always gossip one...lol...he gave me many things before he leave,and taught me many things too...he's already back to Hong Kong last Saturday...

[Highfield events 1=BBQ]
Last two weeks ago we had BBQ at Highfield(cuz Ann n Dick is about to back Msia)...wahh...here BBQ=syok & senang! Those charcoal,all wrapped in one paper bag and the paper was poured by some inflamable chemicals one(something like oily-oily),we dont need to put up the fire by ourselves like what we always do in Msia,we just need to use the lighter to burn the paper bag,and throw it into the "charcoal place"...quick and easy...and one more thing,we always hav to use those fan/newspaper/hard paper/files to keep blowing the fire(in Msia) while BBQ...but here,we just need to stand there and wait for the food,cuz the strong wind here helped to blow the charcoal and keep the fire strong...but unfortunately I was feeling unwell that day so after BBQ for about one hour then I slept...

[Highfield events 2=Powerscourt Garden & Sing K]
Monday is my off day,Sunday night YSK and his sister came to Trim to fetch me back to Highfield cuz they are going to visit Powerscourt Garden at Wicklow...we woke up in the morning 10am...wahhh...never wake up so early before!!(after I came Ireland,at least 11am baru wake up)Then we went to that Garden lo....erm...it's a nice place though...a lot of things to see such as Italian Garden and Japanese Garden...and a lot of sibeh nice flower there...those roses,almost bigger than my head!! and those roses all hav fragrant smells...very nice...after that me n YSK sat together at the grass slope...we saw a little girl was enjoyed rolling from higher place to the ground...then me n YSK pulak macam orang gila,go and mimic that little girl...we hug together and rolled at the slope...and he hit me few times and keep press me until I almost become a flat cookies...zzz...at night we all went to the 七星酒楼,and sing K...those food MAH MAH DEI only lorrr...aiya...we Ipoh ppl memang high demand one lo...haha...and then that Big Joe(hav 2 Joe),she keep say many funny things and keep screamed at there...cuz mayb she drunk or what or mayb she was too happy...erm...during sing K section,the Small Joe(YSK sister) sang a song which is very GENG...that song is Teresa's Carmen...男人不过是一件消遣的东西,有什么了不起...all men looked very down when she sang this song....wakakak!!but she sang until very loud and strong...suppose can be a singer already lol...well...conclusion is we had a nice day =)

What I did in these 2 months & 23 days...


[Before I start working]...After I transfered from Amsterdam,I reached Dublin in the morning about 10a.m...I was soooooooooo worried when the Custom asked me many many things for about 15minutes!! I thought he was about to kick me back to Msia cuz he seems unfriendly...There was very crowded,and I kept walking around the exit and carpark,cuz I was finding YSK...I felt relief when I saw his face in the crowd...lol...hard to explain that weird feel...and I almost wanna hug him(cuz romantic and touching atmosphere)...zzz

I stayed with him at his hostel for 2 weeks,Eustace Rise,Tyrrelstown...first day,I treat him like a stranger and very polite to him...but after 2-3 days he become back his room is very big,clean n comfortable...but that time still cold cuz haven't reach summer yet...(summer now)...after two weeks I followed Joe(YSK's sister) to their hostel in Highfield,Swords.That house not very big...but damm many ppl stay there! Cuz all Malaysians, wanna stay together...lol...one room hav 5 men...but luckily our room just Joe couple only lorr...+ me = 3 ppl...

Everyone in this house are very friendly...Ah Wor,Lou Ngao n Man Keong(brothers) ; Lou Gwai,Ah Kwong and Lou Sun ( brothers) ; Wei Xing,Lou Zhu and Ah Mang ( frens) ; Bobo(Wor's cousin)...Micheal n Moon Dip(husband n wife)...and Mei Ling(Lou Ngao's wife)....They all also came here many years already de...Those guys,all also addicted to that JxWorld Online Game...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...I found out that nowadays,many those uncle-uncle addicted to online games...(although they dun even kno how to use computer...)

[Learn & Try to Work][April 3rd week-21 May] During this time I was busy learning how to become a take-away shop counter,by following Joe to work at Wan's Garden(Restaurant+Take-away shop)...and Joe also helped me to find job through the internet...Every Mon n Tues YSK will come to Highfield(off day)...and every Thursday I will follow him to work at New Shanghai(take-away shop),at Kinsealy...

[First job,NIGHTMARE]I find job on 0086.ie...first job I found is around dublin...China ppl...but mayb not suitable so after that din contact d...I tried to work at Tallagh too...and interviewed at Lucan...then I found one job at Ferbane,Athlone(China ppl)...walao...that job,memang is nightmare...that shop name is Beijing Garden...kitchen only hav two ppl...only the boss n one girl in kitchen...that girl name is Mei Ling,she is a tom-boy(I think), but very friendly and always help me...when I first arrive at there the counter haven't go yet...so I can learn from her...her name is Cindy...both of them are from Malaysia so we talk BM when working(so weird , but suddenly feel that BM actually is quite useful cuz other ppl dunno what we're talkin bout haha)

That man(boss),he memang kaolat...his job is just to cook only lorrr...other thing all also ask that Mei Ling to do(when Mei Ling interview,boss only tell her to become the "oil oil")...she is a 20++ years old girl,quite small size one...and I saw her hands,that skin worn out...still hav to lift stocks,wash curry bowl and so on,wash whole kitchen,prepare chicken,duck,prawn and every veg...walao...and her salary is just 240Euro...I saw her work like a cow,I also feel sympathy...

And then why that Cindy hav to go leh...is because we become counter suppose only stand there take order and receive money...but this boss,he ask us to help wash thing,wash kitchen and sometimes help packing...he even ask me to prepare chips...I didn't do that because it's not my job to touch that oil machine...and he don't even pay back Bank Holiday for cindy,and he said he forgot(sibeh crafty)...

Well,he ask me to help also nvm...important thing is he only cook for us at night,and our lunch is use microwave to heat up yesterday's food...this also NEVERMIND...when the 3rd day I work there,he cook duck's neck and duck's liver for me to eat...kanasai him lorrr...cook those rubbish for me...then at night I called YSK and tell him about it...after that he spread this news at Highfield's house...everyone were shocked n scolded him cuz he didn't ask me to stop work at there...and his sister scolded him kaolat-kaolat until he almost cry...zzz...

The next day evening,they came to fetch me back and I didn't even inform my boss...he just opened his eyes big big and looked at me,and I also didn't request for the salary for 3 days I worked,which is 150 Euro...cuz I kno he wouldn't pay me...

[Back to Highfield] After back to our home sweet home,they keep askin me about the nightmare I experienced...lol...I stayed in Highfield for one week before I found another job...in that week,we had a party during Moon Dip's birthday,we make Sushi ourselves and celebrate her birthday...
