If you people had not noticed, I've update new korea photos up.. Will do some stuff on it to improve the navigation of the pics.. be patient.. haa

Anyway.. wanted to updated ytd.. but was too tired espically after watching the Man U match.. haha.. yeah.. ytd was my last day over at Pariss.. it was quite eventful as a matter of fact.. haha..

1) It was the first ever time i got so worked up.. in the afternoon.. i had the job to deliver the ordered food to the table.. we had a full house by somewhere past 12.. the orders were that many that i couldn't cope..

that aside.. moving around the tables were made even worse when customers don't push in their chairs when they leave their seats... with my hands full i had no choice but to use my legs which in turn slow things down.. more food was ready and the bell kept ringing..

IRRITATING!! naturally tempers were high (esp mine)..

2) Since everyone was so busy.. naturally some plates at some tables would not be cleared.. so as i walked past those tables, they keep asking me to clear when im full of food to deliver.. wth.. are they blind to see me pespiring? do they need to keep rushing me?

3) Evening time, i cleared some tables and headed over to the collection station.. due to some inbalance on my tray.. it toppled together with 6 dining plates (those big ones).. haha.. luckily.. all of them fell into a bucket full of water and none were broken.. amazing!! haha.. it was a saucer that wbroke into pieces instead... haha..

end of story? nah.. i went out to collect more plates again.. as i took one plate to put on my tray.. it slipped and headed straight to the floor.. strangely again.. it hit my shoe and slided onto the floor instead and not broken! hahaha.. how lucky..

4) At the end of everything.. i managed to talk to some chefs.. they left some food for me, ask me when i would be coming back.. haha.. had some real good memories there.. yeah.. and of coz some bad ones.. lol..

5) A message to all diners.. Don't think that you pay some freaking amount of money and you're the boss.. make the service staffs ass up and your stay in the restuarant won't be any better..

6) How to make your meal better at a restaurant>

- Wait for a table to be assigned at the entrance.. Do not walk in as though its your grandfather's house.

- If you want to have a change of seats, ask the service staffs first..

- Push in your chairs if you have to leave your seat for whatever reason.. it makes movement aroung easier for other patrons and the staffs...

- If you need plates to be cleared from your table.. indicate them properly.. give it to the staff when they approach your table. Thank them after everything..

-Don't make unreasonable requests.. when staff say cannot means no.. for example.. if a particular plate cannot be replace.. don't say " i only need you to spare 1 plate, is that so troublesome?" use your ass to think also know.. if everyone ask for one plate.. wouldn't it be many plates already isn't?

- When you eat.. don't treat the table as your dustbin.. use your plate.. it isnt that hard.. making a mess will only receive curses after you leave.. haha..

- Tell the service staff you are leaving for good so that the tables can be cleared quickly for other patrons.. and remember to thank them for whatever they have done..

- One last thing before i end.. if you wanna try to be helpful and stack up the plates.. please stack those that are suppose to be and can be stacked together, together. uneven stack would cause clearing to be diffcult.. plates to topple.. and it relflectes bad on your intelligence level..

one long list.. a sense of achievement after reading ? haha.. cya.. nitez..
