3. SG Tucker
Mei is a nice person, from Taiwan. She has a small stall in the food court "Food Forum" located at Wembley. She is very direct, in what she says, and in how she acts.
11:05am, i was on the bus to work. She called,
"樊小姐，你还来不来啊?!"
"噢，我在路上呢。不是11：30嘛？"
"噢，11：30啊，对不起啊，我年纪大了，记性不好"
When i reached the stall at 11:20, she apologized again with a big laugher.
She is very bossy, likes to order people around. She doesn't teach people, and assume that I know everything there, based on??? I have no idea. So interestingly, 2 other helpers at the stall do not know much too, even though 1 person has been there for very long time. Therefore, when we work together, it was a bit messy.
The second day, I met this girl called Bobo from HK. She's a cook in HK, also on working holiday visa, does everything well. But I just don't like it when people are arrogant. She messed up the orders, asked me to deliever the food to the wrong customer. When i said, "are you sure? I think this one is..." "Just give to him, I'm sure!"
In the end, the food was wrong. Luckily, they were regular customers, so everything was settled with Mei's big smile.
Mei has a full menu, which has more items, and shows the ingredients of all the SG food. So i tried to show customers the full menu to "grab" more orders. Surprisingly, Mei got angry about that, "Do not show customers that menu, that's for you! If not, they would order Fujian Kuay Teo Mian, instead of Fujianmian". When I was thinking why? Is it more troublesome to make "Kuay Teo Mian"? But we got more sales! She thought i didn't get it, "Understand?" "Yes, understand!"
I got too upset with the wrong order, and Mei's shouts, so didn't want to take lunch. But she made lunch for 3 of us, and I appreciate that. When you are outside, nobody but you can take care of yourself. I have known that a few years ago. That lunch put on a nice image of her in my mind, forever! Due to timing inconvenience, I never went back to work there, though I miss the food a lot, and I got another job, as a babysitter @ Caterina's...
4. Babysitter @ Caterina's
Caterina is a nice and incredibly beautiful Italian lady. With 3 children in the family, i guess she's mainly a housewife; maybe she's in control of some company which doesn't need her physical appearance? Anyway, she's the kind of perfect wife and perfect mother!
Alesia is 8, Sylvia is 5, and Louki is 15 months old. I always love the white babies, because they really look so cute (under the age of 14).
The cute Sylvia looks like a barbie doll, so i always lift her up, just as I lift up a doll. As a 5 year old baby, she doesn't know how to arrange her stuff, how to make her bed. Her room is always messy, without everything lying around. You could find a turtle shaped handmade paper bag in one corner, and maybe a dirty sock in another corner. Helping her clean room is always fun!
Alesia is in primary school now. A little bit older as the BIG sister, she appears more obedient. Interestingly, once she asked me,
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Then do you have a girlfriend?"
"Oh yea, 2 of you are my girlfriends!"
And surprisingly, another question, "Do you have a baby?" asked Sylvia.
"..."
"Sylvia, she doesn't even have a boyfriend!"
Well, looks like they are too smart!
This is a perfect family, a handsome and gentle husband, a beautiful and nice wife, 3 cute kids, a big house. Sometimes, the girls fight; sometimes, the baby cries; sometimes, the husband comes back late; but more often, the house is filled with laughters, with care, and with love. I want a family like that!
