Met Jan, Nat, Lester, Daphne and Aaron after work today and we went Kbox. Boy, it costed a bomb.

Working at Order Express helped me learn a lot.
I meet so many different people each time, I learn about wine from people, I taste wine, I learn about coffee, I see office politics get ugly, I learn how to manage a shop, I learn how to interact with customers gradually, and I learn about responsibility.

Today, while working, I suddenly realised, that if I were to stop working when I start school, it'll mean I have only one week left with them. And it made me feel really sad all of a sudden. Like, all these 4 weeks there, I've grown attached to the management, to the people and to my job scope. If I stop working, I'll stop learning. I'll stop the experience. And I like the experience.

These days, this boss from the company, Peter, would come downstairs, grab a cuppa, talk to me about life, and office politics. He taught me how people get ugly, how fame and authority destroys peace, how even a simple machine in the office can show the ugliness in people, and today, he taught me how to use the different interesting traditional coffee makers.

It's interesting too, when Steven and Julianna come downstairs, and we start making fun of each other. Like how Steven can't pronounce mozerella, and thinks I should trust his pronounciation for vermincilli (how to spell?). And how we cheated him into thinking that our bags cost 60$.

Like how Felix and Kin would come down and help me close the shop, how Kelvin always drinks coffee, and told me today that our coffee tasted sour because I adjusted too little water, how Jason exposed himself that he didn't study barista in Australia and asked how my day is all the time, how Janice comes down with Julianna asking me what we need to stock up, and randomly gossip, how Jamie always comes down with Steven and seems to always embarrass herself such as walking into the Gents thinking it's the Ladies, how Seymone/Cynthia/Linghui always takes over my shift and vice versa, how I already memorised the music playing in the background, how the cleaners, food vendors, watson staff already recognise and know me, and how I actually enjoy working there.

The holidays passed so fast.. School will start on July 2. Should I continue, or should I not?

*Edit

I just did something stupid.
Fuck.
