11:30 PM today. another part of my life. disappeared. though i only spent a short two months there. it took a part of me with it. i remember the first time i went there. felt completely useless. tables all mixed up. customers coming in any old how. customers using the ridiculous computer screen to order and wasting our time when they keyed in the wrong orders. air-con = no air-con. fie fie was handling it all by himself. so impressed by him. finally learned the ropes to service there. things got better. cashiered most of the time. the sweat, tears and anger we had every time the lunch crowd came in. but at the end of the day. when we saw how good the business was. we felt it was worth it. cindy, riyan and i got transferred there after tiong closed down. i worked nights at wheelock. we suffered everyday to bring in the sales. the people i met there. though i'm not particularly close to them. we had fun, laughter, singing sessions, charades. i got to know them more each day. i remember telling fie fie. i'll help him at cs till the very end. and he goes and quit. funny. after he left. they all followed. one by one. kitchen crew all resigned till only thomas remained. cindy and riyan tried their best to turn things around but nothing worked. bill came. i started school and got less time with them. transferred back to wheelock. wanyee got transferred there after awhile and cindy's husband joined the crew. thomas finally quit, leaving only the five of them to handle things everyday. nouvelle took over the management. changed the whole menu. changed the whole outlook. started opening on sundays instead of saturdays. didn't even stick through with this regime for one month. rental was up. monday was the last day i ever stepped into it. though there was a slight difference to things. the atmosphere i felt the first time i was there was still as strong. never did say a proper goodbye. won't get to hear the demolition people tearing it down. maybe it's better that way. wanyee --> kohi ten cindy and steven --> hibiki bill --> sakae sushi outlet in north riyan --> wheelock TPS [ when will we be together again. all under the same roof :( ] |
