Other than just fun, I also faced some difficulties. For instance, when there are no customers, things get really boring. I wasn't the only part-time worker either... There was another girl who was pretty slow in her post, and is also quite shy and sometimes refusing to serve tea to the customers. That caused a huge burden on me, since I got the job done more efficiently.
I also realized that I was one step too forward in my job; I started taking customers' orders when the supervisors instructed me only to serve tea, clear the tables and prepare new settings... Allow me to say that curiosity and talent had brought me one step ahead of just a regular part-time trainee...
I met and befriended a few people who were much older than me. They either address me by my given name, Chinese name, or simply "Ah Boy". Other than me, there is a senior three years older than myself who resides in the same area as me, in the northern parts of Sigapore. She was the one who conveyed the comments of the supervisor and assistant supervisor on my performance. She told me about the history of how many others once took on this job, but gave up and quitted on the first day of work complaining on the difficuties and how tiring it was. I was, unfortunately, the latest(Hopefully not the last) male part-time worker there. How I wish some of my friends could accompany me so that the joys and burdens can be divided *equally*...
My seniors commented that my performance was outstanding and not sloppy. The only downside was that my smile was not bright enough and looked wry, and I did things too quickly and too confident of myself... What I think of my performance is that there is still a lot of space for improvement, as well as huge need for someone decent to lend me a hand... A beautiful experience. I certainly hope this good performance isn't simply a "flash in a pan". I will continue to accomplish my duty with this high esteem, and hopefully get over the horrid past...
"Wish us prosperity!"
