I still could not accept the fact that I am already in my transition to becoming a woman, to be more precise, I am getting old. Unfortunately, I did not exactly enjoy my teen-young adult life to the fullest....as I spent all four years ONLY at uni. FOUR blardy years have gone by just as quick as a flash of light and I feel myself getting old. Have I gained anything in those four years? Have I used the past four most important years of my life to the greatest, and made them the most sensational, unforgettable years in my life? I suppose I have not....sigh.....well, it's gone. They're gone, and life still goes on. Still, should I be using the more optimistic side of my brain (right I guess) to analyze this consequences and circumstances? I guess I do.
On the other hand, I should be saying......oh great! my life has just begun! Uni life is over and I am outta schooling life and getting excited to meet the world! yey!
But the thing is, am I ready to work and get over with studying? I haven't even got myself a descent job (instead of the research assistant position, which promise me some salary just by working in the laboratory everyday with the same people and same experimental models - mice?)
To tell you the truth, this ain't what I soo wanted to do initially. And to reveal myself, this ain't what I plan to do for my future even RIGHT NOW. Well, under such circumstances, I guess I only have to get along with for the time being, because this is what my graduate certificate recognize me for.
Today was my first day at work in Chilli Padi Melbourne Central. First time ever have I worked as a waitress in Australia. Can't deny that it was indeed my wish to become a waitress one day.....haha....and here I am now, working as a casual in a cool Malaysian restaurant in the city! Tiring it is, to travel from Clayton the faraway suburb to the busy city, but I am all excited and happy to do the traveling. While traveling on the train, I was reading Until You (by another of my favorite author: Judith Mcnaught) in a relaxed manner just like what a pensioner uncle or aunty does. Haha...it was wonderful, it really was.
I guess it is normal for a first-time-waitress like me to make a mistake on the first working day. Yeah, I made one mistake, which was to take a wrong order and unfortunately for the customer, he had to wait for a second round to get his chicken curry laksa. Yet, he was kind enough to grin at me and joke about the laksa. I learnt from my mistake = to repeat what customers have ordered.
Anyway, all's well ends well. Today was a memorable day for me and thus I decided to blog about it and start my blogging motivation again. Never ever will I stop for another year again - I hope.
