New girl...me?

You have no idea how many people I have work with in this restaurant since the day it opens....I was told by the head chef who is bonded by the boss....that 8 staff was “chase away” by the boss for the first week....and..subsequently...since I start working in this restaurant....I lost count of how many colleagues come and go...I make a lot of friends though...but they just left....I will try to name a few whom I still remember their names...while the rest...at least a dozen of them...when I say a dozen...i really mean a dozen...(at least 12 or more) they left even before I got time to ask their names...and at least 5 or 6 left after my boss ask me to pay them a horribly miserable sum of money....
The first few colleagues are Kelly who left...and she still calls me occassionaly...Amy..left to study never see her again...Jenny..went back to Malaysia.....Ken left for another restaraunt....Nicole works in Ayr now....Ah Juan...found another job...Ah mun went to London and back to Malaysia...Leo left for Manchester...Daisy left recently..Ah Zheng went to London....Ah fei found another job...Ah yan jie in London.....there are 2 Ah qing...one married the chef and stop working..anonther left....in between...they are Rina...whom I have not work with....but I know her becos Nicole tell me a lot about her...A Maggie...whom I saw only once...the girl with a pair of thick glasses becos the boss think she cannot see....Xiao mei who left last week....Ah rui...who worked for 3 days...Steven...one of my first few colleagues., one Malysian guy whom I thought is a malay but is a Chinese but I forget his name...another Malaysian , another Jenny...a shy girl...., another a girl whom I gave her a mint before she left the restaurant.., Ah shan...whom the boss suspect steal her money...another girl..quite pretty and the kitchen staff loves her but didn’t stay for long and never come back...a guy who worked for 5 hours and sent home by the boss....and numerous (more than 20..and I am not exarggerating)who came for a work trial..of 2 hours and left,,,whom I never get to see but get to hear about them from all my colleagues........about how they are being scruntinise by my boss...and as usual...my boss will tell them...to go home and wait for her to call....which she never do....
So according to my above statistic...there should be at least 40 people who had worked in this restaurant ...including the 2 hours ones....50(or more) people left...in 11 mth...makes roughly 5 a month..which means 1 every 6 days....sigh...and this figures EXCLUDE the kitchen staff...people like Ah Ming shifu...another Ah min ge..Ah qiu, Jin Mao,..Ah bin...another guy who always call me jie guo jie jie...numerous dish washing guy...I couldn’t be bother even to find out their names nowadays...who knows how long they will stay.....I lost count but I bet there are more than 20 kitchen staffs who left.....
The biggest joke of all one day...after my 3 days off....and I went back to work...a new Kitchen dish-washing girl saw me walking into the kitchen....and give me a “who is this new girl” look....she is only “3 day old” in the restaurant...and she actually already seen at least 4 new girl reporting to work and get sack....so when she saw me...she thought I was a new girl...and she told the chef... “look! Another new girl”....I was so amused...and the kitchen staff all burst out into laughter....yeah...I am new...I only work 11month for this boss...

Thru the looking glass...

Opps...if you are feeling lost and wonder why are you reading some stranger's blog...you are at the right place. It really freaks me out a bit to realise that more people is going to "see me naked"...by reading my thoughts...but then...who cares...I dun noe you and you dun noe me....enjoy!..and sorry if you find me boring..which I really am. How is the show by the way...i haven even seen the other works yet.
