*Eyelids are getting heavy now*
Spent more than half of the day in school today and I’m sure everyone has grown to become more disciplineJWent to Ziyuan Can Ting for dinner as usual and we are such regular customers that all the waitresses and staff there recognize us and even remember what are the usual dishes we order!
I felt that apart from going to the school for classes, it’s important to build some bonding and relationship with the people there around the environment.As compared to Singapore, some of the shop owners don’t even bother to smile while they are serving and if everyone were to make a little effort to be more easy going and cheerful, life’d be a lot more happier, agree?
Miss those stall aunties and uncles back in Ngee Ann though…remember those times where I used to walk past their stalls and we will greet each other and ask about our day despite of not buying anything.Especially the Muachee stall and drink stall auntieJ
People do take these little details in life for granted and it’s something good to reflect on yeahJ
As we were making orders for our dinner, the waitress was unclear about some information and went to ask the seniors around, in the end, she kind of got scolded and was told to be more sensible in everything she does.
From the scenario, I witnessed the power distance in Chinese Country and how the culture and values truly affect the working systems here in Tianjin…Thinking about it, while I was working as a waitress back in Singapore, the managers and seniors in the restaurant were pretty much approachable and instead of scolding us directly, they’ll guide us and teach us ways to improve the way we do thingsJI guess there’s pros and cons to why managers choose to manage their staffs in those particular ways yaJ
Special thanks to Jonathan and Dean for helping me with my APPG!!After almost 3 weeks or so spent with you guys, not only did we build stronger friendships but sharing memorable moments as and when with random jokes, I think all of us will never regret coming on this OIP TripJWhenever I see friends around teaching and explaining certain theories to one another and making sure those who need help will be able to clear their doubts and understand better, it’s really a heart-warming scene and it makes me realize how important to have friends around and most importantly, treasure what your friends have done for youJ
Felt that no one is perfect and one may think that your friends have flaws that you may not be able to accommodate but to be able to understand what’s true friends are about, FIRST, embrace what’s done to you, even small little caring acts in our daily life and I’m sure you’ll want to be treated like how you treat your friends too!:)
Having APPG quiz tomorrow, time to MUG and read up before I get to my dreamland yeah…Goodnightss..and GOODLUCK to everyone for tmr’s paper!!:)
