kept my word

Hello there.

I promised to write back today and yes I have kept my word!

Okay, okay. So...

I've got a job! Being the first day at work, boy was it hectic. The people eating there were endless. The queue was ridiculous. And it wasn't just today. This happens everyday, everytime  - from as early as 11am to 10.20pm! How crazy can it get? 

I was constantly just pouring Ocha, cleaning up plates, wiping tables, taking bills, smiling and smiling and smiling... And doing all those all over again for 10 and a half hours (oh have my jaws stiffen!) Exhaustion was an understatement. So much so that I didn't feel it anymore, which was good, hence sparing me a decent amount of concentration and energy required to do my job well - which I think I did it well, at least I think I did. 

Chili's was the first place I had in mind, but being 22 days too young, I was denied the job... It was so unfortunate, for I was on cloud nine for a few days before my hopes came crushing down when I went for my interview. I really wanted to work there. It's always so hyped up, so fun to be at, especially the night shift, so it was strongly appealing to me . Well at least it taught me a lesson yet again this time: I should never keep my hopes up... For it will only result in a nasty fall. On a brighter note, I am just as happy working here. And now I know more than ever that it is hard to make a living. Hard to be a father. Hard to just... Survive. 

赚钱不简单啊…

爸爸…幸苦你了

我会好好珍惜的，做个小乖乖

And before I close those eyelids for my 11am shift tomorrow, here's a few-minutes-belated wish for the younger sister that I've never had... Thank you for your amazing, crazy, extravagant ideas in all the English and Literature classes, for being my voice everytime Miss Nadia asks a question, for ensuring my presence in this world when my head starts to nod, for being the first person ever to have faith in me in what many people are against... Thank you, my little sister. And happy 15th birthday, Sophie ♡

(I am 12 minutes behind time, sorry!) 

                                      back to the first term of form 4 

Sweet dreams. ♡
