hey friends, I officially quitted coffee bean and tea leaf though it wasn't a pleasant leaving but it certainly did leave me some good memories.
Hmm. Lets start with the bad first so later I can cheer myself up with those good memories.
Bad
~I cut myself for like zillion times which left scars on my hand.
~I have to dress myself in that ugly apron, shirt and pants which made me look like some parapara dancer. Haha.
~I have to carry heavy stuffs which made my veins on my hands more obvious. Eek!
~I cannot make my nails.
~My handphone by a staff there which resulted me to part with my sims card for nearly a month!
~I have to bear with the mood swings from the managers.
~I have to bear with the bullshit and crap from them.
~I have to bear with the criticism from one of them when I think she seriously didn't take a look at her reflection in the mirror before saying it.
~Too many internal conflicts and backstabbing.
~Way to low pay.
~ need to bear with unreasonable customers tat demand so much thinking that we are well paid when we are obviously not!
Good
~I get to enjoy the water battle in the outlet and the toilets at taka basement 1.
~I get to see what ngee ann city looks like at 2 am.
~I get to go to taka’s rubbish dumping area which not all can go. Haha.
~I get to enjoy free drinks which I rarely ask for! I dun noe why. I only drank Malibu, sunrise, ice teas, honeydew, mango, pure vanilla and pure choc I think. Shit. Ive nvr try the mocha! Argh. Ok. Nvr mind.
~I get to learn more about coffee and tea.
~I get to noe the cleaners at taka. Haha. its so cool to say hello to them when u are in outside clothes.
~I get to talk to a lot a lot of angmohs.
~I get to noe regular customers. And u always feel happy when u can remember their order and give it to them before they can even order.
~I get to meet quite a few celebrities. Diana ser, james lye, dennis keller, Felicia chin, zoe tay’s husband and son, Jamie teo, Daniel ong, Fiona xie and some artists tat I dun noe their name.
~All because of my phone tat got stolen, I get to go to police headquaters to record my testimonial.
~I better understand the art of handling ridiculous customers.
~I learnt how to make hot and ice drinks. Its really a great sense of achievement.
~I learnt to do those cleaning, sweeping and mopping much faster and cleaner.
~I get to improve my communication skill when talking to those angmohs.
~I meet great friends over there.

Some that are not mentioned are because I forget and some I dun even bother to mention casue they are not great. Anyway. I noe so many pple casue most of them came around 1 mth or so and they left. Haha. there should be more cause some I nvr even see them once and they left!
Hmm.. though seems tat there are much more good things in cbtl than bad. But some bad things can outweigh all the good points. And I think Ive learnt what I can learn in this 2 years and 5 months. i have been missing out alot eversince i start working over there. i need to get a life! haha. i wanna learn something! knitting maybe then go exercise, then go do some craft then go visit my relative.i dun wan to regret. i dun wan to spend my time working and working. Im jus 19! So im not going to find a job for now. I shall jus stick with my tuition.
Ps: hope u have made the right decision for yourself by not leaving. Since this is ur decision, the path that u wanna go for now, then I hope u will be happy over there. but bear in mind that u also have to tolerate those unhappy stuff that might occur cause that the path that u have chose. And if u really come to one point that u really cant work there anymore, then leave. It will do u good. Why stay there and keep hoping that they will change and be a better friend. take care ok? Though we will still meet up! Hugs!
