China House | My Working Experience Third Year

在这里工作了三年,影响我的人教导我的人很多,让我真正成长了不少... 我很开心在这里遇到了他们,不然我还会是当初的那个我,踏在原点... 在咖啡的世界里,我学到了很多,可能也找到我自己喜欢的口味,也学习着影响身边的人;在咖啡以外的世界,我看到了形形色色的东西,我学习接受,用一个全新的心态去面对过去我不喜欢,我排斥的东西。很多时候角度不一样了,你可以接受和原谅体谅的就多了... 有一句话是那么说的,心小了,事情就大了,心大了,事情都自然小了...

I was working at China House for three years, I met many kind of people there, they make me grow up a lot. I'm glad to have them in my life, they changed me to a better person and taught me a lot, no matter in working or handle my personal thing.

This was the video I actually made for 2nd anniversary work in China House but last year I was too busy until forget to post and blog about my working life.

违背朝九晚五的办公室生活,我选了饮食业服务业... 一个大部分家人亲戚都未必看好的工作... 让我想起Jason哥在instagram里放着 "不务正业中..." 大家对咖啡师抱有的幻想就是很幸福可以每天泡咖啡拉花,但现实很残酷的打在脸上两巴。我的工作其实也是包含了担担抬抬,洗洗杯,切切水果,榨果汁,调调酒,娱乐老板,算货,当客人游客的询问中心,当cashier,当跑腿等。或许泡咖啡占有20%也会让我觉得幸福值得走下去... 没有熬过拼过哪里来的出头天... 至那些只想学拉花而说想当咖啡师的小盆友,回家吧... 真的太累了...

当一名咖啡师,就是要和咖啡谈一场很长的恋爱



It just a bad day, Not a bad life

It wasn't a good idea to share something bad in my blog, but I have to scream it out loud to release my anger. It was just a bad day, not a bad life. It was my day off and I'd plan to hang out with my roommate Winnie, so we woke up early in the morning. When I was opening my car bonnet, Winnie was shocking because she saw my car have been pouring paint by others. I was so so angry than panic because I know I have to spend extra money on this shit, further more my baby was just only one month with me!! I touched at the paint and it was still wet, in fact I wished it was water paint that I can easily wipe off but unfortunately it was oil paint. Glad that Winnie was with me all the time, abuden I will kisiao alone. I learnt something new which I can't wash the paint with thinner water when they are on glasses, it will spoilt the glass by turning it blur. Chee's dad suggested we to went to hardware shop to get some utensils to remove the paint. Basically the paint was majority pour on the front mirror which cause I can't drive my car away and the rest was a small part on the left side of car body. The left front tire was punch by a small screw. Thankyou China House family, because Amir and Safiq came to lend me a hand! I guess now I know how to change tire if I am alone.

#herooftheday

thankyou winnie!! 
Safiq brought me to police station to make report, we was riding motor in the rain. Thankyou Safiq !! After that, Amir escorted my car to Perodua service centre because I hardly see the traffic. The technician said that if I changed my front mirror only will cost me RM300 and haven't include all other damage. So he suggested us to send it to car wash, they charged us the same RM300 which included every part but my wiper was gone. While waiting they wash the car, we went to Old Town to have our brunch. It took around 2 hours to completely clean my car. Thankyou my heroes of the day : Winnie, Safiq, Amir, Chee and all china house family!!

It was the third year I celebrated Hari Raya with my fellow colleagues. Selamat Hari Raya, minta maaf zahir dan batin.

Meow 14.0

14.0 Second day off over here and had a food hunt with Samantha and Gary! Thankyou Narelle for forcing Gary to bring us out to have her favourite food! I was teasing by Gary and Samantha because I get high on eating Gong Pia.


14.1 China House Kuching #chinahousek
While waiting Gary to come China House, I was really hungry because never had my breakfast yet. So I ordered Hokkien Spaghetti in the menu which I really want to try long time ago. I was keep recommended this to customer even I never try this but I felt it worth a try. Why not? Noodles is my all time favourite!




14.2 Song Kheng Hai Food Court
Gary ordered all those famous food for us which was Narelle recommended. 我自己选了个人会回头去吃的Top3是 : Gong Pia , Tomato Crispy Noodles and CocoCane ! 对第一次买到很难咽下去的Gong Pia是抱有很大的偏见, 所以我并没有冲动去点Gong Pia. 真的多谢Gary动作够快不然我都快去说我不要吃这个了... 差一点擦肩而过... 我的天 真的太好吃了,吃了会上瘾,而且不腻! 我没想那么多就立刻再多点了cheese口味的Gong Pia来试,拜托不要放希望,不要浪费时间... 没什么特别,但是也好吃只是少了点什么... 我和Samantha毫不犹豫就外带20个 不管要请谁吃或自己吃完,买就对了,绝不放过!! 对于Tomato Crispy Noodle 我没什么印象我之前吃过吗? 但是在这里工作期间我吃过Zul煮的staff meal, 他的汤底原来比外面的甜那么多,如果没有在外面吃到我真的会觉得他煮的是正常的甜度...
CocoCane = Coconut + Sugar Cane Juice

One more please. Thanks to Samantha


14.3 Earthlings 
询问了同事有哪几间Kuching比较有实力的cafe,他们就介绍了Earthlings给我... 很详细的menu,对我而言以卖咖啡为主的咖啡馆就应该要有这种主打的饮料和豆子... Samantha was attracted by Coffee Snowman because of its description : Vanilla ice-cream bathed in ice latte topped with cocoa powder. hahahaha, she said that make sure the vanilla ice cream is BATHED in the ice latte and making us keep laughing. My first choice was Panama but unfortunately the bean finished already so I picked the Ethiopia Sidamo Washed Shakiso. It is strawberry at the beginning and ends with jasmine tea taste. I was sitting at the bar area to see the process but I was too shy to start any conversation with the barista.

14.4 黄飞鸿之英雄有梦
目标明确 就是来看帅哥无误 
听了五月天的 那么久 却迟迟没有多余的时间来让我这样好好做下来看一部戏,感谢之前Jason提醒了我关于 黄飞鸿之英雄有梦 我才会有这个Idea要看这部戏来打发我off day的漫漫长夜... 只有在Kuching才难得可以那么放松,放慢平时的脚步,打开laptop,看一部戏,感恩


Meow 1.0

I'm not really like last minute decision, but still thanks to company give me this opportunity to come to China House @ The Old Courthouse, Kuching, Sarawak. 7am flight and have to get prepared at 5.30am... Not easy. Thanks god I'm safely landed. 一心想要去 Kuching 因为感觉真的很荣幸如果可以参与新店的一切,但是听到last minute的东西还是会让我大翻白眼,行李也pack不齐全,所以也睡不好的一整夜...



1.0 China House Kuching
本庭宣判吃蛋糕喝咖啡无罪!! 前身是法院而且非常大,想必工作量自然增加啦,上个厕所都好远啊~~ China House Kuching Press into the link to get more info about China House Kuching! It was an old courthouse at Waterfront, Kuching. A really huge place. I was impressed by the variety of flowers all around the old courthouse, very colorful and gorgeous.


1.1 糊里糊涂 Blur
被遗忘的相机 : I left my Xiaoyi Act camera in my mom's car when she dropped me at China House Penang, damn, forgetful as usual. I really wished to go back now to take it, wanted to record nice moment over here. Good weather and nice scene!
五脏不俱全的行李箱 : I forget to bring hair shampoo, face wash, slippers, xiaoyi... Really don't like last minute especially you know that is the one way ticket, you don't know when u can come back.
不专业的小黄 : The taxi was so impatient, he just want to dropped me anywhere at waterfront before I found the old courthouse. When I get down of the taxi, the driver straight drove away and LUCKILY I was opening the bonet so he stopped the taxi or else all of my stuff will gone. Guys, always be alert ya!!  After I reached China House Kuching, I knew that the taxi counter charged me extra RM2 than others, these made me really pissed off. How come their service so sucks? No wonder Uber nowadays is so popular.


1.2 John叔叔
早餐 : Everytime when I'm with John , I'll never worry about food. He always bring me to eat eat eat. So once I reached China House Kuching, he broungt me to the market to have Kolo Mee. He said the food over here is suit for me because I like to have noodles all the time. It's true, the Kolo Mee is not bad!
面包 : During John's break time, he bought some bread from outside to put in the bar, and of course Im so tamchiak, I finished them.
不舍得 : I felt that John n I was like one month never meet each others, but it actually just couple of weeks. I miss him a lot ! Fortunately,  we can spend time in the bar like half day. He hand over things to me, felt so sad, we gonna separate again LOL sounds like couple right? XD



1.3 打不好的奶泡 Bad Foam
我说不出口的伤心与失落,对自己很失望因为尝试了一整天到了晚上还是打不好奶泡,对于不熟悉的咖啡机我依然不习惯。刚好 Trista 来访,感觉就是最好不要给她看到我做的咖啡,好丢脸,我只能表达说,我今天对自己的表现很失望... 杨老师说过,机器从来都不是问题,问题都是来自操作的那个人... 深深的认同... 不过由始至终, John 和 Chee 都一直给我好多好多的鼓励,说真的我也知道修到什么福,,, 会有那么疼我的前辈们! 爱你们哦


1.4 黑炭汉堡 Charcoal Burger
First night in Kuching and first day after work was like, MUST have supper lehhhh... Never change the habit of having food after closing shift work, I just changed the place, now in Kuching! We changed our mind to this burger truck because John want to try this for few days already. Shop shop and all tempat makan makan close quite early. The lifestyle here isn't gan cheong like Penang. Stated there "best charcoal bun burger in Kuching" but was just so so... The patty was dry and hard, sauce was so so... Anyway, a good night well spent with them, it's glad to meet all those familiar faces in Kuching! 


Demotivated

每天过着睡到上班前才愿意醒来的日子,而今天是一个星期的最后一天。我没做到什么事,无所事事。说不上太累,但就是睡不着。我像一个没有冲劲的人也是一个掉入沼泽的孩子。恰巧有两个人路过且对我伸出了援手,两句一模一样的话点醒了我。我是指我对于我的咖啡孩子们的那颗心,demotivated模式在早些前肆无忌惮的展开,侵蚀着我的梦想,我不知不觉只是提醒自己不要迟到,因为要打卡领薪水。我愿意接受神一般的对手,但身边都是一群我不想形容的队友。也是为了打卡领薪水的一群人,有什么责任尽量使用太极拳就是了。
Current mood


我啊我 这个小糊涂 我希望我振作起来了 謝謝他们的那句话 鼓舞了我许多 睡醒起来明天会是美好的一天 也祝我的同事明天咖啡档顺利进行 恭喜!

宝贝们的庆生会 For Jim and Beulah

11/11/15 我的心情日记
双十一是爸爸妈麻的结婚纪念日 但是今年比较不一样 意义非凡因为帮两位姐妹办生日会 由于前一晚神一般的把手机落在车上 而车子有停在特远 我就夜深也怕自己出去吓到人 手机就不拿了 在不知道几点的情况下睡着了 只是记得临睡前 再三提醒自己要记得在7点起床... 然后一打开眼 窗外微亮 宿舍的窗帘关不完的窗露出阳光 我也这么醒了 真有效 不需要闹钟... 换洗后步行到了车上 车窗没被打破 庆幸的打开了车门看了电话是7.29am 证实了确实在七点左右就醒了 很满意的开车到了便利商店充值了我的电话 顺道买了打火机 到花店拿花 第一眼就不太合眼缘 没办法都订了 没地方好去只好在china house 等待因为气球店在十点才开 趁这段时间我再把Jim的小册子写多几句话下去

对啊忘了说 其实今天是要补庆祝Jim我的好闺蜜的生日还有提前庆祝我的妹妹Beulah的生日 碰巧的星期二是公共假期原本的休息日就申请改成了今天

巧遇John叔叔也出现在china house 所有barista都爱在休假时出现在店里 我们真的都是一群怪咖 非常有闲情的怪咖 也是因为都单身 比恋爱的人多出了很多这种可以到处耗的时间 然而我们都不征男友征女友 哈哈 我心里呀 每次有一个男神 眼里就容不下其他花花草草 其他人呢 自然有他们单身的理由 还有一些模棱两可 像是有另一半 又似乎没有

终于气球店开了 犹豫不决的选了紫色和粉红色的爱心🎈还有圆形的白色气球 看得出我是很满意 一切照着计划走 我的内心紧张澎湃 因为Beulah是我们当中最小的 每一年 我们的生日都在年头 唯有你落在十一月 18岁那年也是盼着你快点到那个我们可以一起做坏事的年龄 哈哈 说真的 我这个做姐的内心遗憾就是没有帮你们每一个庆祝21岁生日 看着fb ig别人都搞得很隆重 所以剩下你最后一个过21岁生日了 我就拼了命 尽了全力 火力全开 我也要让你有个难忘的21岁生日

到了Jusco买汽水 买卡片 回到家仓促的冲凉然后去借车,临出门前发现电视机旁有一个我的包裹,反过来看,是XinYing寄来的,内心有着大大的感动,但是真的赶时间,就没细细品尝里面的祝福... 知道自己记忆力差所以在换车时特别注意是否全部东西都带齐了... 然后我就迟到了, haha 第一个载了Toto迟了 接着的当然都迟了...

skip

沿路买了蜡烛, 提前到 The Alley 把礼物放好 我还刻意不让 Toto 和 Mayi 下车因为她们也有花收,我们就更更加的迟到了 HAHAHA! 好吧 从一个守时的孩纸到现在天天迟到都不知道败谁所赐... 终于载到了主角 B E U L A H ! 就好像约定好的说要去 The Alley 吃午餐... 没有人有异议,我们若无其事的走入店里,因为必须在柜台点餐, Toto 和 Mayi 从远远的望了一眼那张显眼的桌子,就一直尴尬的笑,快要笑场... 真是逊暴了... 淡定哥我还要自己默默点了一片蛋糕... Beulah 毫不知情, 不然就是影后 完全没发现...





看到你的反应那么开心我都觉得开心啊... 很开心你喜欢Toto为你选的礼物哦,是两件裙子! 非常符合你的style的说... Toto 这次应该很开心那么顺利的完成任务! 都很开心就是了,你们也开心收到花, 对不对? 虽然那个号称有生日歌的蜡烛很诡异,但你却被逗得很开心. hahaha 姐不解啊! 唱了生日歌,许了愿,长大了,要幸福哦!

小插曲 : 气球飞掉了,还好The Alley老板人好,跑很快的去楼上帮我们拿回气球! 也谢谢店员们都很热情der



傍晚,我们到槟城跟同事拿了鸡肉就赶去买Domino Pizza ,然后去Tanjung Bungah的海边... Jerwigs为Jim办了一个BBQ生日会! 当然幕后金主依然是 Jerwigs, John, Chee 还有我啦... 天不作美一直要下雨,还好都是毛毛雨... 


又是劳累的一天但是感觉就是棒棒哒... 很开熏的一天,妈麻说过得有意义最好... 我爱你们哦!

Love Lane | Party Lorong

想想在这个美丽的岛屿也工作了一年多,反而越在这里工作忙碌了,越会逃避这种多人的节日... 我们这一行的大日子和假期就是我们该忙碌的时刻了,累了我们都是逃回家里看到床就倒下呼呼大睡... 本来拿到了closing shift的我也是觉得来不到这里了,殊不知因为John突然被调动到夜班,我好像有点赚到了,所以就决定来看看这次的event... 不然朋友总觉得我关在家没见识之类的... 真的你们不懂我们的累... 不知道该和谁作伴,又觉得自己一个人很没意思,所以灵机一动去邀请了 Sydney 同行... 我们步行到了Love Lane,真的 超 级 多 人,人山人海啊啊啊... 说真的好像不太喜欢这种混乱的感觉... 我知道我很纠结... 真的应该关在家里就好... haha 


这里有很多传统表演,一走入巷子就看到舞龙,还有可以和吴钢合照,司仪们也是穿着很美的旗袍没想到他们并不是站在一个舞台上主持节目而是到处行走穿梭在人群内... 平日没有开放的庙也挤满了信徒在里面参拜... 往里面走些还有小游戏可以玩... 这里也举办了小学生绘画比赛之类的,加油吧各位未来之星,希望你不是被你妈妈逼着去的就hao... 
灯笼都皱皱的 岁月不饶人啊 XD




抬头看看上面的风景 可以让双下巴消失一下下
京剧面具




我和Sydney 两个算是路痴等级的人就这样冤枉的走错路了,兜了一个超级大圈才来到了 Party Lorong... 没有吃晚餐的两人看到Rain Forest的可颂时漏出了一样的表情,但是看了价钱都下不了手,要明白月底了啦... 不明白为何要举办在月底... 应该是不明白为何加入月光族... 那么累走来是值得的,这里布置得很美,也很支持本地制作的东西...
Moon Walk 月空漫步



生活里总是不能缺少音乐




他手上的猫头鹰刺青超酷的

我打包过梦想去旅行,他打包了音乐来这里



在这里买了一本 The Penang Colouring Book 槟城版本der更赞





非常非常饿的我们点餐后还是等了蛮久才吃到晚餐...一盘RM6 der 炒鸳鸯,虽然虾很大只但是有药水味,就不太喜欢... 不过鱼肉还好... 这里好像没有卖饮料的...

喉咙痛好辛苦,全部病一起拜访我真的不是开玩笑但是这种天气变化真的有点难免就感冒了然后发高烧接着咳嗽喉咙痛... 回来China House想说喝杯水才开车回家没想到有DJ在Vine & Single 里表演 WOW
