Unexpected turn

Look like things have taken an unexpected turn, despite the shit has hit the fan, my boss actually didn't go mad on me!! He took about 5 - 10 minutes of full on crazy phonecall from someone and just remained calm, I was floored! Not sure what happened but even this small gesture makes me feel like I might have more recognition than I expected, this made me to do some self review again. I guess I'm of a sucker somehow, because even if someone shows me the slightest recognition or acknowledging my effort, I will just involuntarily appreciate them, a lot.

Silence before the storm?

This morning went better than I expected, no excessive yelling going on, I believe my mini-breakdown had been passed on so I was not provoked further. However there are some unfinished business that needed to be taken care of which I had to put my neck under someone's chopping knife, sigh, so tired of this crap! I talked with my friend over dinner tonight about the problem, and she thinks UK is a good idea too, although I might not gain further experience in my current field, but as I'm not involved in current IT and/or science, which constant updating your knowledge is MANDATORY, so my experience might not "expire" as soon as I thought it would be. I guess that's true, some things you learn but not forgotten.

I'm feeling a bit better now as I've put things into perspective, but I'm still yet to confirm my intention to quit. A lot of times we only talk about how we are not happy with current situation but rarely commit ourselves to change that (how many of us tried "I will join gym and make regular visits" or "I will definitely quit smoking new year's resolution???) From now on, I will start to plan my future, decide what I will do next and do it, if you don't act to change now, you might not change forever.

My situation might be not optimal now or heading to a potentially worse situation, but after a storm, the sky always seems brighter. (I stupidly hope)

P.S. this photo I found belongs HERE, awesome job!

Sunny gloomy Sunday

I went out with friends yesterday, had lots of fun and a great time, it was good to have something to distract myself from what had happened during the week. Although I felt like I didn't want to go home at 12 am, still wanted to hang out and just chill out to get my mind off my shitty week, unfortunately others do need to go home, so I went home at 1.

Although it was raining in the night and weather report told us we will have a rainy Sunday, today's weather was really good. Plenty of sun shine and warm, I can't wait until summer! However, thinking about going back to work tomorrow just turns my mood around completely, the doomed feeling returns and I feel like to just bang my head against the inferior non-sturdy wall of our office. I've thought about it from a different perspective though, things are not THAT bad, the issues can be resolved, and it's not like I have a sex tape leaked or anything (although again I'd feel sorry for the audience), plus I'm not even afraid to lose my job, if I'm given too much crap, I will tell them to find someone better, it might be doing me a favour!

Speaking of changing job, after the recent weeks and the ongoing build up of dissatisfaction from my current work situation, I am looking for alternatives to my current job. At this stage, the very appealing option is the working holiday in UK, it offers a complete change of environment, and with Europe at my door step, at least I can travel around Europe and see all the awesome countries. However this will mean that at least for one year, I will not be able to get a job with similar roles and responsibilities because for the working holiday visa, I will be only allowed to work half of the time I stay there. Even if I can get employed in similar role, I can only work for half of the time. I'm a little worried now once I return to Melbourne, my experiences built up in my current job will not be 'current' enough to give me advantages in job hunting. Although I have not tried to get new job, there are many potential positions that sounded attractive with higher salary package too, which at least I believe my experience will look very good on my resume. But I have convinced myself, things HAVE to change, I will need to make some decisions in the coming year and sort out my future.

Here's a song by Xtina that sorta suits the mood:

Really BAD day

I shouldn't have posted about happiness when clearly it is not on the agenda this week......today had to be one of the worst days since I started working. Working under pressure or insane multi-tasking is one thing, they are frustrating but somewhat manageable. Today, urgh.......today was just nuclear explosion from hell!

Ok, I should start with some self reflection, I have been procrastinating on some issues lately, my fault, should have done things right then and there. However we are seriously understaffed here and I think taking on too much has finally bit me in the back. While trying to juggle multiple tasks at once, also needed to fill in for others who had quit, or on leave. Today, finally today, 3 or 4 things caught up to me at once, normally I'm pretty good at this, but today it just seemed to be too much. Every happened at once and it just felt like standing in front of an avalanche, horrible sight, but unable to combat it. At one point, I had to go into an office and shut the doors behind me and just cover my eyes with my hands for a while to relax myself, pathetic, eh?

I'm feeling better now as I've analyzed the situation, case by case, what I can and cannot do/control in these situations. I will try to fix up some problems and delegate some tasks to my colleagues and persuade the boss to get more people in. If I'm faced with irrational behaviour with no recognition, I will bring up hints of quitting. There's no point for me to stay somewhere that does not recognize the effort I've put in to my work, yet I get blamed for elements out of my control, that just sucks!

Here's an interesting pic I found, more can be found HERE

Happy stuff

Urgh! Last night's post was absolutely pathetic!!! I think I was wayyyyy too sleepy to write that. Today I probably had the suckiest day of the week (depends on how tomorrow turns out), but I've noticed that my past week's entries have been somewhat (hah!) negative, so I'm trying to come up with some happy stuff to write about.

*20min pause* Wow it's hard when you are in a really shitty mood lol. Ok, I've briefly chatted with someone I like and haven't spoken to for a while, that was good. Also I'm going to go out with friends over the weekend, it will be cool. These are a bit trying to hard. So I will resort to the lowest trick, flatulence. I've recently visitied this site, which contains some fart wav files that I've downloaded to my phone that I constantly play in the office, gosh it's sooo funny! Donno what's with farting, but the sound just makes you laugh LOLOL! I'm going to attempt to play trick on some people, press play sound while I lean towards one side next to them! LOL

No inspiration

Still busy today and can't think of anything to bitch about, it's 10 pm and I'm already way too sleepy. How sad, yesterday (Tuesday) morning, I woke up, realized it's already pretty bright and my alarm radio is not on, I thought to myself, no alarm, woke up early, it MUST be a weekend and no need to go to work! Then I saw the clock, I actually woke up 15 minutes earlier than my alarm radio, and it's bright because the day is getting longer! Immediately shattered and returned back to sleep for another 45 min lol.

Loooooooong day

No, it was not a day where you feel like it goes on forever, didn't leave the office until about 8pm, sucks! Feels like my personal time had been ROBBED from me....not too tired to write anything, here's another Xtina's song that actually focused on her singing....

Negative Vibe

It's contagious, I think my negative vibe has been infecting others in the office.....hmmmm! Now I have at least 2 other staff members thinking about quitting in the near future, although I don't blame them, consider the working environment vs. financial/non-financial or even the slightest intrinsic rewards. A girl told me it has become PAINFUL to even think about coming to work. I have to say that as I progress in my job, the negative feeling has been growing stronger inside me, and it has extended to areas beyond work, or maybe it's just myself? I think I was more of a bit of a pessimist, but also can be SURE that things will definitely work out by themselves despite that almost everything goes towards the bad direction first, not sure if that even made sense......

Back to the negative vibe, although human tend to find something to blame for bad things that happened, I have to honestly say that it's not entirely my job that's making me down. Maybe partially it's due to my own personality, although I can be outgoing and just talking nonsense, there are certain areas of me that probably never get the chance to surface. As mentioned before, I'm not big on emotions, especially the lovie-dah stuff. I'm more of a lone wolf (altough that image is wayyy too cool for me lol), I have no problem with dealing the awkward silence with the presence of others, and I certainly don't mind being by myself, actually enjoyed it, it gives the chance to just think about really weird stuff that doesn't make sense. And now I think my thoughts are getting all weird, hard to put them into words, so I will stop here. I try not to draft or "plan" my blog, as this supposed to reflect my thoughts, and I would like to write it as things come to my mind. (That's pretty much my style for my entire student life, luckily, most of my essays worked out to be alright lol)

Whew~~ haven't really shared those with anyone before, so there you go, benefits of talking to total strangers eh? (Feel free to give me candies, although I prefer savoury stuff, like sushi lol)

Random stuff

Perving:

I went grocery shopping today, it was a typically busy shopping center with LOTS of people. The supermarket was overflowing with human, *shivers*......Anyways, by the time to check out, it seemed like all lanes were again, infested with people. At the beginning I was trying to scan the line with least people/quickest check-out staff, then I discovered that at the counter of lane x, there was this really cute guy, immediately I gave up the idea of getting out of the people concentrated supermarket and nudged the lady with walking stick out of the way with my pointy elbow and ran towards the end of the line at cutie's counter. (the lady part was in my head, lucky there wasn't one around, things could get very ugly) After 15 minutes of queuing, cutie politely greeted me and asked how was I, while I was telling him I was fine, I was really thinking how fine HE was lol. After I bought sushi for lunch and walking to my car, cutie just bought some quickie sushi and a bottle of water and was heading back to supermarket, I was just behind him perving on his, um, belt....LOL. Ahem...all people do that right? RIGHT????

Supermarket:

I always find things to bitch about in the supermarket, (despite cutie check-out dude above), people are so feral! I hate people who actually DIG into the mountain of fruit and veggies and land their filthy hands on every single fucking piece of item just to choose THE ONE they like! How different can they be? It makes sense to pick up some ones that looked fresh or new, but do you really need to use your hands and arms like some sort of earth extraction machinery on vegetables? Come on!

Then there were the bastards that hijack the EXPRESS lane with 50 items, learn to read "8 items or less"! It seems like many people either have trouble with basic reading or math skills to work out how many items they are buying. While the men with 6 cartons of milk and a bunch of other stuff to check out gave me more time to perve on the cutie, I do have better things to do than standing in a supermarket queue just for fun. Please, if you having trouble working out which lane to queue at, draw a line in your palm for every item you pick up, if you have more than 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, STOP RIGHT THERE and queue at the counter with NO "Express Lane" signs!

Oh, and if anyone cares, I've stocked up on more instant noodles, wheeeeee......

Instant noodles follow up

Yawn, the past week was so tiring, hardly got energy to relax! I guess I will write a bit tomorrow, although the funny thing was my instant noodles comment was re-enacted in real life! As I was eating them for breakfast in the office, 2 smokers came up to me and said "oh no, don't drink the instant noodle soup! It's not good for you!" and my reply was "You suck cancer causing poison gas into your lungs and you are worried about artificial flavours???" LOL got some "yeh but" answers, can't believe people will rank instant noodles being a higher risk to health than smoking, weird weird weird......

Sushi

I had a debate with a couple of girls today, while we talked about foods, I've mentioned that I really like sushi and sashimi etc, so did the girls, BUT it became a heated argument when I commented that sushi is not filling. Although the ladies' point was quite blatantly apparent -- they are lumps of rice, wouldn't you be full if you eat 2 bowls of rice?? However I don't know why, I had rarely been able to feel "full" after sushi (apart from the time we went to the sushi train place), I guess they are not heavy, no grease or oil etc, simple condiments (LOVE wasabi), amazingly appetizing. Yet I was seriously unable to answer why sushi is not filling for me??? Anyone?? Another girl told me it might be due to the fact that because the food is cold, so you don't feel full, doesn't really make much sense, but I can see her point a little. Come on, enlighten me!

About working

As we were talking about high staff turnover in our office today, I've mentioned that one of the biggest thing I've learnt from this job is that I'm actually very capable and competent (only to a certain extent I guess, lol). I said before I started, I thought I will probably be struggling with basic jobs and even be lucky to get 20k per year, and now I've realized that working is not as difficult as it sounds/seems, and many people are definitely not smarter (see my previous post re incompetent employee).

Since working, the importance of problem solving skill becomes very apparent. On many occasions, people (including myself) would simply ask "what should I do" or trying to pass off a problem to someone else rather than trying to spend a little more time and effort to solve them. As you progress in the job, it will become one of the key factors to determine whether you will get the next promotion to further yourself. It is really simple, all it takes is to look at a problem from a different angle/perspective, taking a detour. This sounds easy, but it does take time to be good at it, and now, I think, thanks to my work, I am pretty good at it now! Although this has a lot to do with our not so good management style, where certain employees aren't willing to contribute/participate yet others are being overworked and not receiving appropriate credit/recognition for the effort. I have seen some very good employees with strong potentials leaving because of this, we had an excellent staff that was able to pick up new tasks quickly, but after a while, their approach to problems became "how am I supposed to do that?" or "I have no idea how did that happened". Unfortunately (or fortunately) I was put into a position where I had to deal with a lot of those problems that no one would want to handle, which in the end, gave me the opportunity to practice and improve. (Sometimes at the company's expense, but hey, I'm trying my best lol)

If you are in a crummy job and thinking it's going nowhere, firstly, it may not be you, do not underestimate yourself or your potential; secondly, do not say no to new challenges, accept them and allow yourself to experience the challenge, you will get benefit out of them; finally, if you think you deserve better, you most likely do, take risks while you can, you never know what lies ahead of you unless you take that first step!

If you are an employer, good help is HARD to find, if you have a competent employee or someone with potential, give them opportunity to further themselves, encourage, do not discourage them by finger pointing and blaming; recognition and reward must be proportionate to input and effort, not necessarily financial incentives, but understanding and good temper might even get you further!

I love instant noodles

Gosh I love them! Easy to make, delicious taste, yet full of variety and can be transformed into many different dishes simply by using your imagination! Yes yes food additives, whatever LOL. If people are happy to inhale carcinogenic gas into their lungs, they should not complain about MSG or preservatives!

I love the taste of it and I, despite the put down from others, believe I CAN survive on them everyday. However, we all know that they are not enough to be a balanced meal, but they can be transformed into interesting meals. Vegetables are important, the dried veggie flakes are not enough, you need to add at least a cup of vegetables in your noodle to make them nice yet somehow nutritious, I suggest broccoli and Chinese cabbage, variety of seaweed can be added too. Also you will need some meat/egg in them, add watever you like, beef, chicken, fish, seafood, or they can be eaten with ham or canned tuna.

I have no idea why I wrote above, they just burst out on the spot

Food

Another busy week ahead......sigh! Anyone has any good food ideas? Tried many things now and it seems like I've run out of things to try! Something nice and exotic would be good, what are there that's out of the mainstream stuff? Hmmm.......

Movie Sunday

My eyes went back to normal after a good night's sleep, lucky I'm not going blind! Since I've lost a day of this weekend, decided to join a friend and see the new Mummy movie (which got some very poor ratings). After an over-filling lunch, we wondered around the shopping centre for a bit, then headed for the movies. The movie's action and effects were good, but that was pretty much all the high lights. Although Alex was very cute when he was speaking Chinese hehe.

Although the story line of the movie were kinda too typical and somehow didn't connect (can someone please explain the part why did the witch cast the "mummy" spell rather than the immortal spell when she thought the emperor granted her wish to spend her life with the general??). However, I did notice one quotable quote from it, when Rick had an argument with his son, after his son stormed out, his wife said this "We spent our lives looking for priceless artifacts yet we have lost the only precious thing we have" (or along the lines of those, I could not remember it word to word after an hour of movie). Although family and love stuff are not my cup of tea, I found this piece of dialogue was very well done and brilliantly played out.

Sore eye

Worked an extra day today, it was windy at some stage and I think I got some dust in my eye, feels soooooo annoying, hope it will get better tomorrow morning.

Sad Binge Eating Friday

Fridays should be celebrated for enduring the whole week of mental and physical torture from work. BUT I found out we need to do some extra work on Saturday in response to some sudden market changes in the industry, now another day of hell is ahead, gosh I donno how will I survive! So all I could do was eat as much food as possible as a venue to ease my anger, people always comment on me eating so much and stay "slim", my response is always "U think I'm not fat, but I am, U just can't see them". I ate a pack of instant noodles, 2 bread rolls, a few biscuits, a sushi pack, my box of lunch, then for dinner I packed down those little plates traveling on conveyor belts at this sushi train place like there's no tomorrow. Before (if any) you worry about binge eating, it just happen to be one of those hungry days lol. It should be all ok by tomorrow, after some serious yum cha maybe hehe.

I'm getting sleepy, gotta get some rest for tomorrow.......

Sick

Spring is here, the weather is getting warmer, wheeee........but seems like many people are sick because of season changes, although I REALLY would like to catch a bug so I can pull a sickie and stay home!

My week has got slightly better, I've indirectly complained the bitch to the overseas head office, hope she gets what she deserves! But the office is still chaotic as too many thing have happened quickly, we need to sort out ourselves first then deal with all those issues. Suppose just have to grin and bear it eh?

My head feels empty today, don't know what to write here...let's see, as summer is approaching, I probably should be more active and make myself at least presentable in a few months. How come work out plan NEVER actually works out??? Laziness is too powerful lol

Here's a random music clip, "I turn to you" by Christina Aguilera. IMO she is definitely one of the most talented singer out there, by the time she released this song she would only have been 18 years old or so, and man, that girl can sing! Even this song did not make it big, it's one of my favourite Xtina's songs, as it demonstrates her singing skills more rather than the typical pop princess stuff, she also looked amazing in the video, sadly I didn't find one with embedding codes......

Enjoy:

Incompetent employees

Do you know any of them? Do you work with any of them? Do you have any of them work for you?? It seems like that my week of horror continues today, and looks like it will extend its evil tentacles to next week! I don't know what happened, but seems like everyone at work is having such a bad time this week it's not funny, I had at least 2 or 3 moments where I just want to throw my chair out of the window and quit my job. When you dealing with larger company/corporation, you think with all those recruitment programs and 99 rounds of interviews they do, everyone will be smart and efficient, WRONG! I've dealt with so many pure dumbf*cks in my job, and many of them are working in corporate banking centers, shipping lines and yes, governments.

I had to get some documentation done by this girl in a major shipping line, she requested me to fill in some forms for her, sent email, nothing happened, sent another email, "could you please fill in the form and send back to me" I was like wtf, I just sent it again, thinking probably she missed the email; couple of days later, same situation, same form, same person, had to forward my previous email to her again because my previous email obviously got ingored, by now I'm already pissed off with her. Then yesterday, I found out that something I requested her to do weeks ago hasn't been done, but it was resolved reasonably quickly, getting REALLY pissed off. Then I had to have one of the documents amended (I admit, that was partially my fault), she told me entry's already closed and I need to pay amendment charge, not a lot of money, need to have the document right asap, paid them first thing today, requested to have a PHOTOCOPY of the original document so I can send them off for my customer first. 3pm got an email from her, apparently we need to pay for another invoice, which wasn't attached in her email to me requesting payment, and need to wait for funds to clear for BOTH invoices. Well, how the hell am I suppose to know if my requested amendments are made when I'm not given a copy? All I requested was a scan/photocopy of the original, how &#*$ hard is it to print a piece of paper and photocopy it?? I sent her an email saying we need to see a copy of corrected docs before payment is made, if she can't get her bloody mind on the track, I'm going to give it to her real good! BITCH!!

BANG BANG, my customer shot me down......LOL



I'm thinking of joining gym to reduce stress, or get a punch bag and a collection of photos of people I hate!

Just found this eye candy video:

Too lazy for a title

The hellish day from yesterday continues, non stop chaos and yelling in the office today, really made me pissy and grumpy, and it's multiplying, now almost everyone in the office is affected! This had put me in a mood for, well, nothing! Normally I browse through many different blogs and sites, and I do a little research on any random thing every night, but I guess my mind is just way too tired for anything.....sigh.... -- made me remember a joke someone told me "life is like being forced into sex, you either fight it or try to enjoy it", but I really feel like to shovel all the crap (literally) up life's rear alley.....

Altho again, on a completely different note, I just found out Enrique Iglesias is really hot! Didn't think he was that good before, but today when I saw this clip with all the photos, I thought, hmmm how hot is he!

Shit day at work

I knew I watched those office rage clips for a reason, today was such a shitty day! Boss was in a bad mood and yelled at me for things that were out of my control, everything's not working out and we are short staffed. Although the financial reward of the job is reasonable, but it is more and more apparent that the money part is taking over the career part of my job. I donno why we keep having meetings where the "system" will not be implemented properly, people are not motivated and couldn't wait to leave. It's chaotic, and it's annoying the living *#$& out of me; work more is one thing, but if you are constantly not happy in your job and the "challenges" becomes like nuisances, you will not last long in that job. Although this might be a spur of the moment thing because of one bad day, but I've become extremely dissatisfied with my job, I think I won't last another year here. I've got to take the plunge and give the working holiday in UK a go soon......

This clip definitely portraits my mood for today:


On a lighter note, I can see that I have more people visiting my blog now, that made me less grumpy, THANK YOU for stopping by my little corner on the web, I hope at least you didn't hate what you've read here, if you did, too bad, my corner, my rules! lol

Yawn....tired now, going to sleep, hopefully I will have one of those fantastic dreams where I set my office on fire.......

Hair

My hair is annoying! It's thick and stubborn, you can almost NEVER mold it into the style you want. If I want it to stay down, it sticks up, if I want to spike it up a little it falls after half an hour like some kind of deflated balloon......Also I cannot go out without gel or something, coz it will be like frizzy. I want to get a haircut but it seems like whatever I get, it never looks good anyway, ARGH! so pissed off! If ANYONE know how to manage genetically faulty bad hair, let me know!

Short tempered

I've had a Becker moment today, although I think I'm only partially at fault. My less than six months old Sony laptop's bluetooth stopped working two weeks ago after only 3 or 4 uses. I've tried to search Sony's trouble shoot pages, although all I found was product specs which were no help at all, so I've decided to email the support team of Sony, who has been considered as a "premium" electronics brand, as usual, there was an auto response stating that someone will be in contact within 48 hours.

Up until today (almost 2 weeks later), no replies in my email, at this point I got really annoyed with Sony and I told my friends how unreliable there products are and they have the suckiest support system to back their products up! So I've decided to screw the help from others and try to figure out what was wrong with the laptop myself. After some failed attempts to search online for possible solution, I thought I will check out Sony's website again. So there I was back at the product spec page on "support", why would I need to know what's IN my laptop when I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with it? Then I discovered that there was a tiny link next to it that says "More product support here" Clicked on it and got sent to Sony Asia (yeah, apparently this market does not have its own support website), and after another 10 minutes or so, I went to driver download and re-installed the driver for bluetooth. After restart, my bluetooth is back to normal, although I probably should have looked closer at the website, I still say Sony's support really SUCK! At least reply my email with your big corp bullshit like sorry computer's in your hand, none of our business or something like that!

While I was trying to figure the problem out, I definitely almost had one of those moments:



I think maybe it's the work stress that's giving me the rage lol, here's another clip of some moments I thought I was going to have:




Whether I'm crazy or not, let me know, until next time, stay calm......

Becker

Today someone who's 5 yrs younger than me commented about the radio station I listen to (it's Mix for the Melbournians out there), which plays music from 80's to now. She asked me while the songs sounded good still, why do I listen to radio stations that plays old songs, and the only answer I had was "coz I'm OLD" lol

Speaking of older things, I've briefly mentioned the sitcom series Becker in my earlier posts, and I thought I will elaborate on that a bit. Although not being one of the top rated shows at the time of airing, I've always liked it because a lot of the comments made by Becker were quite similar to my own, although I was never outspoken enough to actually voice them like he did. (Also maybe getting punched in the face was not part of the script??)Nowadays when I speak to others, I often quote from the show such as "No joy of any kind" lol. Becker's view on the world is a lot like my cynical take on the world, which sometimes I think it is true ;) The short tempered doctor who hates almost everything around him is just so brilliantly made, with all the clever and funny comments and comebacks, it is definitely on my top favourite sitcom lists.

Here's a sneak preview:


Until next time, keep well.....

Random song

This couple of days have been crazy for me, work was extremely busy and chaotic, everyday is just the same, work, problem, headache, home, tired. I really need to get sleep as there is a big meeting on tomorrow. Although someone sent me this song, it's kinda cheesy but with a good tune I think.

Have fun!

Love song dedication

I listen to the love song dedication quite often, normally just have it on while I'm surfing the net before bed, although it raises the question: is this really the effective way to communicate your feelings? I mean if you broke up with someone, why would you stand by the radio to listen to your clinging now ex dedicating "you still the one...." to you? I thought it was a bit freaky.... Funny thing was, some guy called and said he called a week ago, where he said he would hope their relationship to move to the next level and prepared to propose, his girlfriend heard it and now taken back by that and stopped seeing him "temporarily". People are weird.......(I listen to it, what does that say about me? lol)

Lazy parasitic people

Man I hate them! Why do you bother conducting business when you do not equip yourself with the knowledge to do so???? Certain people have been taking advantage of the fact that they are friends with our boss, so somehow their job became our job and we need to "help" them, by help I mean they tell you what they want and expect you to do them then and there! Firstly, this is not my job, you are not my boss; secondly, I cannot and will not stop whatever I'm doing just because you asked me and thinks your business is more important, it's not! thirdly, this is not about helping people in need, freeloader is hated everywhere, if you have a business, employ someone who knows what they are doing and not put off by your bad breath!!!

Nice

I went to buy lunch today, the guy at the counter in this small modern takeaway caught my eye: he wasn't the attractive type, but after observing him for a while, he just seemed so desirable lol! While I was waiting, I was looking around at the customer and the employees of the shop, it was a busy shop in the CBD, so most customers were your business guys and girls busy chatting or reading newspapers while the employees were busy with their business.

However this guy at the cashier, seemed very naturally relaxed, even in the fast paced environment, ALWAYS had a smile on his face. Although I kinda hate those always cheerful people lol (my link to Becker, which i will elaborate in the future), but he just seemed to be so attractive with his smile and his attitude. (He wasn't serving me at the time, so definitely wasn't trying to get more sales out of the customer) There was this natural friendliness and welcoming vibe from him, not those fake niceness some people put up just for the job, it's hard to explain tho. I guess maybe this is called charisma? Although the food was mediocre, I'd definitely try to pay another visit to just look at him lol.
