My first day at work @ Saisaki Japanese Restaurant K.Lumpur……………..

-->

After Mum have left K.Lumpur for two days already……. Is time for me to start work at Saisaki on the 21^st June 2006…..

I was quite ready in the morning of 21^st June 2006 at around 9.30am, I was going down to the main gate of Condo,  to took a cab to work as I’m not sure the location of the building (UOA II)  as in K.L there are many UOA building around……….. when I reach the building, I look at the cab meter, shock of my life it was so cheap and to compare with the rate in Kuching it was far damn cheep then the  cab in Kuching. After paying the cab, I walk in to the building and ask a security officer the location of the restaurant, so the officer tell me how to go, when I reach the main door  of the restaurant I was greeted by  my supervisor………… Mr . Alvin Khoo, while waiting for the other  Senior Captain to come, Mr. Tan Chuan Hong, I was been introduce by Alvin to all the staff and also to the head chef, Chef Tambi and also the Asst. Manager Chef Lok Yew Weng……………. Well knowing those staff and superior is just like a routine on the first day of work……… at around 11.00am if I was not mistaken……. Mr Jung Suk Chang my big boss and his (PA) Mr Choi was here to supervise the renovation of the restaurant……… well I never mention on the earlier part, The restaurant was under renovation and it was not quite ready when I join in……. Ok, back to the story…….. Mr. Choi, introduce me to my boss (Mr. Jung) he is a middle age guy, with a tall build and a very strong Korean accent , he look vary fierce by the way he talk and do things……….. there is one thing in my mind…… will I last long in this organization or will I last for 3 months…………….

Well what the hack……… after lunch as usual finding a place to smoke……… and I doesn’t know Alvin also smoke and he join me, he ask me allot question just for him to know me, I just tell him what he ask while puffing away………… as I have no much mood to talk with anyone in the organization yet……..because I too home sick missing “DAD & MUM” at that times…………. After the break, we were assign to prepare the chopstick cover and to put in chopstick in the cover, as many of the old one have to throw away…………. Well the whole day was doing the chopstick and until 7.00pm the time they serve dinner…….. after dinner that is the time for us to go back………so I left and doesn’t know how to go about…… just taking my walk down Bukit Bintang……. I saw the monorail station in front of the building look very familiar it was Wisma Genting , so I know , from that station near the condo (Station Hang Tuah) will lead to this station which is Station Raja Chulan, (in front of Wisma Genting) Is important to know the way in K.Lumpur because is hard to get a cab during pick hour and at night……..well by the look at my watch the night is still young,  I have a stroll down to Bukit Bintang and from there I look for Pharmacies, Bank, Hyper market, Mini post office, Internet café and etc…….. it is important to know all this places as I  might need to get something important at times………….. After the stroll I went back by monorail, from the station I have to know the way back to the condo. So that I will never get lost in some where…..hahahahaha

When at home I call Dad just to check on them, are they OK?…………. after chat with Dad and Mum I took a shower and went to sleep…………well this is will be my routine schedule in times to come……..

New life at K.Lumpur…………….2006 - 2009

-->

On 16^th June 2006 (Friday) @ 6.30am…….. Me, Mum and Dad at KIA Kuching, together with Aunty Grace and Geoffrey to KL taking the early flight because of budget and as this time I will be going to K.Lumpur for work……… this will be the last time I meet Dad because I will never know when I will meet him again, Deep inside me I know that I will miss Dad a lot……. But what to do, my hometown have no job for me and it’s good for me as I can see what is happening  outside of mine little territory of Kuching, that I have hidden for so many years and facing many problem in life. While waiting for the calling for boarding, I and Dad have a little chat for a while at the departure area…………. When time to move that is is the hardest time for me to say good bye to Dad, in my little heart I know Dad felling is the same….. Me, Mum, Aunty Grace and Geoffrey proceed to the Immigration clearance counter to enter the boarding hall……. I know that Dad is having a hard time for me to leave him but I have to do for the good of both parties…….. Anyway for now I have mum by my side….. at the boarding gate I can see so many passenger of MH 2215 bound for K.Lumpur are business traveler and some student who are going for further study in K.Lumpur , basically the student are excited to go over to K.lumpur to study and also can have some honey moon time there be for going for a serious study in other country……… at this moment I have no much felling of Joy or happiness  of going to work and earn big bucks…. except my worry for Dad and very sad to leave him alone in Kuching………..  Well that is life, the only thing that I can only do now is to  pray to  Almighty God to take good care of my Dad and bring good health and provide him with the necessity help so he will be ok  back in Kuching……….. Then we finally took off from Kuching at 6.35am………..

The main reasons for me to leave Kuching, is not to earn big bucks or big money ,is just to forget my past and  what happen between me and my Ex. recently…..because  I was not been good enough in my life to provide care and love for my family and her (My Ex.), this is also a good chance for me to see what is so great about working and staying in a place that is so foreign to me that sometimes my ex. were talking and asking me to go and work in other countries, for me I also want to find out the answered, What is so  great of working in a place that is so foreign to me and anyone of us……….

While in Mid-air,  the plane was flying, I look out the window and I saw a little fishing boat  cursing by the sea but never left a trace……… I ask myself, is this life is all about? Going away to forget the past to bring back memory of happiness……the answered remain unknown till the day when I come back to Kuching……. In the air-craft, I can notice that Mum is praying the Rosary and of course Aunty Grace is very nervous as usual, because when we exit the Sarawak River mouth, the plane will hit the opposite wind and we will fill some turbulence…… as for Geoffrey he have nothing to worry just laugh and always very happy only……………after the meal (breakfast) in the plane…… I try to take a nap, because I did not sleep well the night be for, but memories of the past and worry about Dad keep on hunting me………. So I just grab a magazine in the front of my seat pocket  to read…..the word is so thin and meaningless for me to read…… anyway is about 45 munities more to go for us to arrive in K.Lumpur , so I just lay back and enjoy the view from the window of the plane………….

Two days later …………. I met (an old friend fron Kuching)  Ah How at sungai wang, he told me that Alvin (the boy who selling lok lok in the coffee shop at city inn)  is in Kl too…… to my surprise that he manage to get me room in Kenanga Point Condo at Jalan San Peng, the roon rental is Rm 175.00 + 1 month rental in advance……utility bills are divided out equally…… as F.Y.I that the K.L utility bills are dame expensive……..because the bill will hit up till Rm190 + Rm175 = Rm 365 a month for me to pay…. Now you guys know how much expensive lifestyle in K.Lumpur………… so don’t be happy to be in K.Lumpur to work………

Coming back to my story……. On the 5^th day in K.Lumpur………. that is the day I have to depart with Mum…… during our journey to airport (KLIA) and the sad memory coming back again ………… is hard for me to leave both my parents back in my little home town of Kuching…….. But what can I do……… I only pray to Almighty God to strengthen me of my physical, mentally and spiritually to face the fact I will be alone in K.Lumpur  to face the reality of life………..Well the time have come me to depart with Mum…. When Mum precede to the departure hall that was the last I saw her, I felt very sad and nearly tears dropping from my eye but I control myself and I proceed to the bus terminal back to KL………..

When I reach Kl,  I contacted Alvin my house mate to pick me up at the main entrance of the condo…… after settle down in my room, I started to pray and ask to The Merciful Lord who I look in to, The Guardian of my life and also the Guardian my career in the future, to help me and to guide me, show me the way and the light so I will not be lost and blindfolded, with this prayer I wish the Good Lord will guide me in this journey of my life in Kl and to protect me from all evil in any form either  in the form of human or spiritual………….after the prayer I proceed to clear all the things  and arrange the room to my style…….. then my life in KL begins……….

Be for I end this chapter of my blog, It reflects on me how I change my self to a better leaves of an old tree, as I am not young any more age catching up on me…….. during this time I hope I will learn as much as possible to able to go back to Kuching, to find a better prospect in life and to serve in our Industries in Kuching…………

Finally we arrive in K.Lumpur @ 8.05am……….. then we proceed to baggage collection area, to collect our luggage….. after collecting our luggage, we went to the arrival hall to wait for Uncle Kenny who promise to pick us up from the airport……….after picking us up he sent us to the hotel, Sungai Wang Hotel in Jalan Bukit Bintang , opposite the famous shopping mall for us Sarawakian , The Sungai Wang Plaza…. After checking in Aunty Grace were hungry and ask where we can have our lunch? I remember that there was a stall opposite the hotel that where we can find food………. Well is still there…. So we ate our lunch there…….. after lunch, we go for a short shopping in the mall, as Aunty Grace are very excited to go shopping as usual.

The next day at K.Lumpur……. I contacted Mr. Choi (Young Eun (M) Sdn. Bhd.) The P.A of my future boss to meet up on my final interview with him as this is the company I will join….. (Saisaki Japanese Buffet Restaurant, Kuala lumpur) so we arrange to meet up at One utama Shopping mall, at the other brunch call Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant……….. after the interview I was immediately attached to the company offering  me a job as a floor captain in saisaki. But I only start work on the 21^st June 2006……… After everything settle with the interview at One Utama , I took the chance just to lepak around be for going back to the hotel to join Mum………. When I reach the hotel, I was surprise that Aunty Diana and Kong Kong was there, as the tree of them were boring in the hotel as I was around and they call up Aunty Diana and she was surprise to hear they are in K.L…………. at around dinner time, all of us went to Sungai Wang for dinner and Aunty Diana subject to have dinner at one of the restaurant there…….. Phew…… I was sweating because when the bill came it burn a hole In my pocket , do you know how much is it (Rm 250.00++) just for a stupid dinner………….

During this trip at K.Lumpur……….. I think me and mum spent the most because I never see Aunty Grace even come out a bit to share on the room rental……….. haiyo I sweating all the way……. Luckily Dad  mange to come out a bit for the room……… the sad things is that all of them sleeping good but I sleep in nothing and  of cause mum have to sleep good,  but the Tumpang one also sleep good……. what the hell.
