Before I start, Jeremy just sacked his boss again. He will be working for his 3rd boss in 3 months this coming Monday.
I guess this path has never been very smooth-sailing for him yet. His 1st 2 bosses are bossy and bossed him around. Let’s hope his 3rd boss will not be like that.
I guess you guys know his experience for his 1st boss.
If you don’t know, go and ask him.
As for his experience with his 2nd boss, yesterday he told us his story.
His 2nd boss resembles his OC and my that-good-for-nothing-and-bald OC.
Those kind where you slog your guts out for him and he didn’t even thank you for it and still gives you that kind of face.
Those kind where you are so tired and you want to go home and he still gives you work to do while he goes back home and slack, probably still thinking of ways of how to tekan you.
I wonder why such people exist.
I realised that kitchen life and SAF life is of not much difference.
In the kitchen, there are ranks. Like executive chef, chef-de-parte, chef-de-cuisine, sous chef and whatever small cooks available to be whacked.
There isn’t a need to elaborate about the rank system in SAF. You and I know way better.
And those up there boss those who are below them, and the bossing parts get passed down from the top to the bottom and the bottom will always suffer.
And along the way, there are some incompetent people who boss you even though they themselves are small fries. And sometimes it’s their fault that resulted in the bossing, but they are able to shift the blames to people who aren’t exactly involved.
In the end, they get away with it.
We see tons of those kind of things in SAF. That’s life in the kitchen.
Those people deserve to have their heads dunked in a wok of hot oil.
And there are people who order you around while they themselves do nothing. And there are people who push their work to you while they slack in one corner. And there are some people who act blur and do those easy stuff like washing the plates when they are supposed to cook dishes.
But of course, there are harkworking people who tahan all these nonsense that happened to them.
Sometimes, they should learn how to defend themselves.
Moreover, tempers usually flare in the kitchen because it can make someone really go mad when you are working for long hours in there and as you know, it’s very hot and stuffy in there too.
And to think that there are such idiotic people who get in your nerves only makes things worse.
You know, there are knives, blenders, fryers, big ovens and whatever tools and gadgets in the kitchen. If someone really drives another guy nuts, he might be poked by the knives, get massaged by the blenders, have their hair permed by the fryers and go for a spa in the oven.
Well.
Moral of the story. Be a good man, be cooperative, and treat others the way you want to be treated by others. You happy, I happy, isn’t that making the world a better place?
Those people are simply asking for it.
And also.
I believe that during our NSF days. After being stuck in camp for the weekdays, always seeing guys around, natually you will feel so deprived and you will just want to sit and Orchard Road after you book out and just look at girls.
Yesterday, Desmond and Jeremy were doing that at Holland Village. Luis isn’t interested in any girls other than the one he has, I had my back facing the pavement, and Best Bud Woo was simply saying those girls aren’t up to standard, probably because he is more interested in aunties.
Imagine beeing cooped up in the kitchen the whole day, and after a day’s of work, you just want to go home and sleep. Where got time for eye candies? Moreover, there aren’t any girls in the kitchen.
So Jeremy was looking at girls while eating, talking, drinking, walking and even driving, when a girl crossed the road, resulting him in a missed opportunity to make a right turn.
I totally understand how he feels, and understand why he was looking at girls up to that extent.
And as a chio girl walks past, he became so excited, just like what a 5-year-old kid will do when he sees a toy he likes.
As for Desmond.
I couldn’t really understand why he was also acting this way because NUS has tons of girls, probably comes in all shapes and sizes just like what I see in school.
Well.
Maybe that’s the reason why he’s called ah pek. Ti ko pek. Ah pek so that it has a little more 亲切感.
Muahahaha.
Maybe the both of them should really come to SIM to talk a walk.
It’s practically like a fashion show in there. And the models come in all shapes and sizes as well.

Shihui, I was talking about SAF, not SIM leh.
