Washing seriously jammed as Joey CBL. Dan commented: “S more like kitchen staff!” Big-boss-like – didn’t let Joey off (at 9pm) until he cleared washing. Made him “pai sei” (embarrassed) deliberately. OMO after 10pm to let Dan concentrate on washing.

Took over Jimmy’s opening shift at make. Also agreed to take over Hock Chye/Beng’s shift till 11pm. Joanna shocked by my workaholic attitude. Ended up in kitchen eventually and played the role of kitchen IC – sweep floor, oiled pans, fold boxes, split cheese, sause/cheese dough for Daryl, cut, make, soup, etc.

What do you believe in?

Here are some interesting statistics on what people believe in: 90% believe in divine retribution. 82% believe in an afterlife. Over 50% believe in spanking, but only if the child in question is over two years old. 49% believe in ESP. 45% believe in ghosts. 10% believe in the 10 Commandments.

Managed extremely well at bar – peak form. Orders and counter cleared even though under full-house condition. No jamming at all. Max, Charlotte, Marie, Joanna, etc, were impressed.
