Have been working for the past few weeks in Baden, a german restaurant/bar... Wei Sheng is the manager of Baden so i was able to get this job... Initially i was enjoying working in the kitchen... There is only 2 people working in the kitchen, myself and my 'shi fu', Jackson... I know nothing much about working in the kitchen but Jackson guided me alot... Now i can do decent cutting, simple cooking and those fanciful filpping of the food... Due to the fact that Jackson is leaving, i have got to learn more about the operation of the kitchen so that i can still help out the kitchen while they hire a new chef...
For the last 4 days without Jackson in the kitchen, everything was doing fine... Until today, the first friday without Jackson, the food orders jam up... The new kitchen staff, Deepa, and i just cant work fast enough... This is so frustrating when i am doing my best to get things done but it doesn't works... I even shouted at Deepa when he did the wrong setting but after the peak period i spoke to him and he said to me ' Samuel, i'll improve'... It makes me feel so bad... Till now i still cant do steak and i have to get Wei Sheng in to cook for me... I got plenty of time to learn it from Jackson but i didnt want to, mainly because i am lazy and partly it is difficult... I was in such a foul mood and i got a complain from customer saying that my carbonara spaghetti was too salty... This is the first time i got this kind of comment from the customer and i dont really feel good about it... No doubt it was cooked in a very sloppy way and i know it will be rejected but i still serve it... Previously when i first cook spaghetti and the customer finished everything, i was kind of like pleased with the standard of the spaghetti i cooked... But not today, what i can say is 'si bei tu lan'... No choice but to remake 1...
I wanted to rest on saturday, it is tiring working late into the night till 2 to 3am and sometimes even up to 5am because we have live soccer match every night... I told Wei Sheng beforehand and he argued that i didnt... I didnt want to argue with him, anyway he is the manager... Dont wanna hurt his ego nor spoil our friendship... This time round i make it clear to him that i wont be working when school reopen, he doesnt seems to be happy about it... When i wanted a job he get me the job and now i dont wanna work, he is thinking that i am playing him out... Actually it is alot more tiring to work in the Baden kitchen compare to other kitchen, and Jackson is no longer there so there is nothing much i can learn... To be honest to myself, the main reason is the money... I personally think that the pay is lower than market rate but it is fair, everyone working part time there is getting the same pay except the Nepalis so maybe i shouldnt be complaining... Maybe i am a person who cant take hardship or not capable enough or i am a person who only work for money... And he also mentioned that work and friend is 2 seperate things, i cant go against myself working there because he is my friend...
Dont really look forward to my last day of work, have a feeling of being force to work... After all Baden is still a nice place, people there are nice...
