School has started for 2 weeks, and I'm back to reality again.
It was so hard for my first week. After 8 months away from SMU, i don't even know how to study!
"I'm very happy that I'm graduating soon;
I'm very sad that school has just started!"
Still, i made it through for 2 weeks, and everything is getting better as time goes by.
When we are back to reality, there will always be something that we will miss from the crazy world, such as the crazy friends we met and the crazy things we did together! And there is always something that we missed and are glad to have back. Maybe that's life. You can't have everything. But who said that we wouldn't be happy with just what we have now? :)
古语曰:"知足而常乐". I am satisfied, and I am happy! And wish I can learn more during my last year in university!

娜娜求职记(三)
5.Vital Juice
If all other 4 experiences are not considered real jobs, working in Vital Juice is the only official job experience I had in Perth. Edwin is a “senior” staff in VJ, and he introduced me this job. VJ is a juice bar, located at Murray Street Mall. We mainly sell freshly squeezed juice & smoothies. Maybe because I like fruits, everything in VJ tastes delicious:
Banana Max: made with milk, banana, honey, yogurt
Mango Mystic: made with tropical juice, mango, strawberry, mango sorbet
Very berry: made with apple juice, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, yogurt
Immunity: made with fresh apple, celery, ginger, garlic, pepper
Tune up: made with apple, carrot, orange, ginger…
VJ is a crazy place, filled with crazy people. Often, people like something not because the fame, the environment, but because of the people. And VJ is just one example. Let me introduce the people to you:
Starting with the boss – Bob: Bob is a nice middle aged New Zealander. He’s nice in some aspects compared to the prior boss: he doesn’t mix his mood with the business; he’s not very strict, which makes the job very relaxing. Edwin always says he’s nice, but stupid, because he doesn’t really understand the business, and added a coffee machine which has been making loss since Day 1; he works very slowly. My impression of him is neutral. The only thing I don’t like him is that he thinks people are all like him. If he works very slowly, as I a new member, I must work very slowly. I don’t like the kind of employer without the trust and confidence in me.
My trainer – Kevyn: Kevyn is a Chinese from Mauricio. “I don’t speak Chinese; I speak French.” When people talk to him in Chinese, he always replies this way. He has a very young appearance, like 18 years old, while he is 24 indeed. I only got to know his real age on my last day. Judging by his look, “小白脸” would be the first word out of your mouth! Well, that’s not without proof. How to put it, maybe he’s a natural flirter. When he’s in VJ, you can always see him flirt with girls, and interestingly, girls like to talk to him. But the good thing is, he loves his girlfriend. During his last two weeks, he almost worked everyday to earn more money for his trip to KL, to see his girlfriend. Sweet!
When I mention Kevyn, everybody who has been to VJ would not forget how I "hit" him. As we got closer, everything became very casual. He always bitches about the “Meat Ball”, another Aussie girl in VJ. Those bad words, especially the “F” word drove me crazy, and that was how he got beaten by me. After that, he told the people in VJ that I always slapped him. To prove him right, I had to keep doing it, slapping him whenever he talks bad word. So it became a famous sightseeing in VJ. Everybody must have seen that, and they like it!
Mikail: Mikael is from Indonesia. I only got to know him during the second week after I came to VJ. At first, he was very quiet; we didn’t talk much. In the end, we became very good friends. One day, he came to work in the noon. Feeling thirsty, he made a drink for himself. And then, he went to buy lunch; and again, he went to the toilet after that. I sold a few juice in the mean time, and made some samples out of the "chicken soup". Then, a great idea came across my mind. I poured a little bit of the chicken into a "Very berry" drink, and stirred, stirred... He came back, continued with his own drink.
"Hey, Mikail! Do you want the very berry? I just made it!"
"Oh, ok."
"Quickly finish yours, and i'll pour it into your cup!"
...
...
He got really mad over that, and i dared not to make fun of him any more...
I just wonder, "does the chicken soup taste really that bad?!"
