My life at the beginning of 2010 (being criticized by ‘friends’)

Today is already the second week of 2010. Time really passes quickly. Last month in Marina Bay, Singapore, I remember I wrote my resolution for 2010 on a piece of plastic paper & hung there along with the others. I wrote “I hope 2010 will be a better year for me”.

Already the second week of 2010, I don’t see this year will be any better to me. Why? My friends (should I call them friends actually) from Yu Hua always criticized me on everything I did. They look down on me as I work as a cashier in KFC. They laugh at me for taking form 6 this year.

I work in KFC because it’s just 20 minutes of walk from my house. They also laugh when they know how much is my salary. Why so money-minded? This isn’t my permanent job though. I work because I want to spent my holiday wisely. Unlike you all just sit at home everyday, waiting to criticise me whenever I post something in Facebook. There are so many graduates have no job because they are too choosy like you all.

Every time I see their stupid comments in Facebook, I feel angry & upset because of knowing these kind of people. They are from Yu Hua, should be very well-educated, should know how to use proper sentences if they are advising me, but it sounds more like criticising me & looking down at me. Unlike my Yu Hua friends, my Taman Jasmin friends never did this to me, instead they encourage me & congratulate me for getting a job in KFC.

You might advise me not to eat KFC everyday, thanks for your advise. Of course I know eating too much oily things is bad for health. But I didn’t eat it everyday. I give it to my brother or my parents sometimes. My free meal is actually my lunch. My lunch is now either before 12pm or after 4pm, so I have to eat my KFC meal because who’s gonna cook lunch for me at 4pm? So you all should think first before talking bad things of working in KFC. You think I love working here? Of course  who would not love working in an office…

I really hope I’ve never met them, or I should hope they change their attitude. The way they talk to me are so ‘chuan’. It hurts people feeling you know…. People said those who studied form 6 before think differently, more mature-minded person. I hope this is true. I hope I can know more better friends after this. Hope my resolution for 2010 will come true……

Working in KFC drive thru Semenyih

I started working in KFC since last Tuesday. So it's already one week. The fist day of working was just to listen to a talk about food handling in that KFC outside Metro Kajang. That class had about 20 to 30 KFC staffs. I was the only chinese there. Luckily I used to be in the malay community so I  still can coupe up with them. 

 

The first week of working in KFC wasn't a hard job to do as I am a cashier, a back-up cashier actually because I don't have my own counter yet, so i help the other cashier to pack foods, while learning the menus, & learn how to greet the customers & so on...

 

My manager, Sir Yusof, used to be my brother's assistant manager in KFC Tesco Kajang now as a Restaurant manager in this restaurant. When he knew that I was my brother's brother, he asked me to ask my brother to work back with him because they need more staffs. Even I asked for job that day on new year eve, he didn't interviewed me but just hire me. So happen my brother can't find a job yet so he accepted Sir Yusof's offer. At least now I have a partner in KFC, somemore an experienced one to ask for help...

 

Last Wednesday 12am we had meeting, that's where I know my staffs. My brother & I were the only chinese. There are two indians too, a guy & a girl. The guy is really a joker, a crazy one! haha... The others are malays. The people here are very nice, they never discriminate the other races. They come to talk to me when I was alone... Really friendly people.... So I made many new friends over there, even faster than during school time, because we all have to be coorperative so that this KFC restaurant will not fall...

 

Some of my new friends were my friends' friend. There were a guy came from Temerlok, Pahang to work here because our assistant manager, Ms Yus were his relative.

 

Next time if anyone of you come to visit this KFC, you'll notice the people behind the counter are all jokers. You can hear laughters at all time... I think I had been influenced by them too because me too sometime joke with them...

 

Me as a cashier is not really an easy job. The money I hold must be the exact one, cannot more cannot less. If more, I can take it. If less I have to pay with my own pocket money. Yesterday was my first day working as a cashier, a drive-thru cashier. I got 20sen because the customer paid & drove away... Good for me.... Whenever there is a customer, I'll feel panic. Sometimes I even forgot to give the customers the spoon, tissue & sauce. Never mind la, at least I realised it. Hope I won't repeat the same mistake tomorrow.

 

I'm quite disappointed with some of my friends (not to mention their name) because they criticised my job as a staff of KFC as they don't even have a job yet. What's wrong with working in KFC? I got free meal & can sweep the balance if I work at night for closing...
