If it was a mistake, it was a beautiful one.

「 dancing away Friday, June 06, 2008 」


haaha.. so sorry that I go MIA for so long. been really bz with business and school lately. the 12days event at expo almost killed me. Felt totally drain after the event. And now I understand why some people say that boss are often work harder and longer hours than the workers. In a sense, I'm glad that there's a three weeks break til beginning of July cos I really need this rest. BUT... school projects have to come into the picture to torture me. To make things even more exciting, I don't have very friendly group members. As in, don't get me wrong, they are all nice pple.. but they are kind of agressive at work. To be frank, it's the first time I feel scared and threathened that I dare not be sloppy with work AT ALL.

Watched a show on teenagers issue. about this girl cutting herself to suppress the greater pain that is in her heart. Almost cried watching this simple show. Really feel for her. And suddenly, not something I didnt know before, I realise that many singapore teenagers are going thru such problems quietly. When I was in college, I already have three classmates with depression problem. It reminded me why I once thought of becoming a social worker. It rekindle the desire once again. Maybe. Who knows. One day, I will response to that desire.

On the lighter side, I'm so happy that people like my pasta! haha.. There's this malay girl (she's a staff)who eat my pasta almost everyday during robinson's sale. That already comforted me quite a bit. Cos she didnt choose to eat the inexpensive malay food next door and eat my relatively expensive pasta (eh. my pasta only 3.50 lo, dunno why some pple still think ex). And on the last day, she came and asked my mum,

"Auntie, where you open your stall one, can gimme the address, your pasta very nice, I want to come eat again."

You have no idea how happy I was when I heard that. I mean, even though I wasnt the one literally cooking it ( I came out with the recipe! :D ), my aunt was the chef most of the time, I'm just glad to see that we made a smile on someone's face. I dunno, I mean, I'm just contented that someone's happy bcos they ate our food. You know what I mean? Maybe that's what they called passion. That inspired me even more to improve my food. O, some people like my mum's stir fried sphaghetti too and came back for more, my mum also secretly laugh lo. Too bad it wasnt popular enough for us to continue selling it, maybe it's too spicy for some.

And thank you girl, though I don't know your name, I'll rmb your face. You certainly encourage me to take one more step towards buying my own shop. Yea, I feel sad to see her walk away disappointed upon hearing we have only one small stall at expo. But it's ok, I believe in 6months time (my goal), business will be well enough for me to expand and get a proper shop. I'm already looking around for good location. Have two places in mind, hope things will work out.

Btw, I'm thinking of adding a new item, Carbonara, what do you guys think? Is expo suitable to have more of such food? Or teriyaki chicken spaghetti?
