Penang photos

Turtles in Kek Lok Si are like. So poor things okay. They have to fight for food, or rather kangkung that jakun tourists buy for a dollar from the vendors.



And they have to fight for space!


Then we went to the beach, where some of us jsut donned sunnies and poyohed with the camera while lying on the mat...



while some of us happily stripped off ...



And we also headed to Penang Street. After getting lost for what must have been an hour, we finally found an old colonial place that served the famous assam laksa and cendol. Old school wei.







And we went for a dip at the hotel's infinity pool.






Horse, cat, cow, bat, turtle, pig, and the old man's leg.

And of course, we had JD. And 007. And er.. Uno..

And we went back to the scene of the crime.. Fort Cornwallis!



And there was just a lot of milling around..

The First Week

I woke up Tuesday morning numerous times, feeling just a tad bit nervous about the first day on the job at Bux. Since then, it's been a good week :D

The partners are very nice and friendly and patient enough to take the time to show the noob around and layan my bumbling questions.

The customers are alright, there hasn't been a particular horrid customer that I've had to layan, although honestly speaking, being in the F&B line is a real eye-opener. There are a lot of regulars that frequent the MV store, particularly expats. And of course, there's the eccentric regular. He's got a shaggy beard, and hardly says anything except "TWO.TWO!" *makes peace sign* I think he prefers female baristas though heeeeheeee.

Linda keeps cursing me and reminding me not to fall, trip or spill drinks.

In my first week I have:

spilt two drinks
tripped
made wrong drinks
cut my thumbS on the plastic covers

...

...

yeah.

It's all good. :D Closing shift tonight. I like it the best. The guys make me laugh like crazy.
