Espresso

while working at starbucks, we have a gang of uncles as regular. the first feeling when gotta to serve them is treat them as fussy customer and not close. slowly i noe they are regular. then, closer n close. till now, their job is still a mystery. they will only order double tall three quarter full hot water american. sometimes add extra shot. one day, out of curiosity i asked:

me: it's so late and u're drinking so strong coffee.. are you still able to sleep at night later on..?

uncle americano: hahahaahha... drink coffee can sleep better. the stronger it is, the more safe n sound i can dooze off.

me: wahhh.. you are so awesome.

uncle americano: drink coffee still can sleep. only when no money cannot sleep at night.

After the chat, i realise true true... i agree. Now, i am facing the situation no money cnt sleep at night. After few months break, is time to pick up the burden again. with 2 yrs of experience, i felt slightly comforted. this time is slightly different. i ain't the same myself anymore. i am expecting more, willing to sacrifice, and put endless effort to achieve what i want. in my dictionary, i am possible. nothing such as give up. there is some difficulty in finding weekend event promoter job. 2nd brother asked me to do some book keeping for him. i don't have any knowledge in that. i know i can do it very well if i learn the correct method. but there is no one to guide me and i don't get the real picture what i need to do. guess i am facing consequences of draining myself too hard n being too hard-working. hehe...

Different people facing different kind of difficulties. some people think their problem is like big big big but in other eyes, it's just as tiny as ant. all bcoz we have different background and mind. after all, i wanna show gratitude for each and everything i have.

i still remember in penang that week. i was totally being amused by daddy's uncle. he is seriously a wonderful human being. despite his financial condition, he still able to provide us with freaking awesome hospitality. thumbs up and salute! his house is smaller than mine. mine is already very very small compare to other, but his, got 2 rooms only. though not really enough space to fit daddy and me, he still manage it well. his family, his wife with 3kids one room and the other room is daddy and i. he works at 12am till nx morning 6am. in his house, you can find anythg you need. i feel like staying at home coz it's a flat. furthermore, his house is cleaned thrice a week by his wife. how lucky is that. i hope my mom can clean our house once a week. my house is terribly dusty and dirty. i just don't understand why my mom cannot sweep, wipe and mop and clean our house. haizzz... other than this, he is generous and sincere. when daddy need to do attachment at penang, he is the one that willing to borrow his only new car to daddy. daddy got 4 uncles and one auntie from Taiping. Among all with those crappy reason, only him. from here is learned that, when u r an elder, be a role model. all he did will not be going back to himself. the reward and gratitude will be shown to his children and others. his salary is so so but now 2kids has been working, so a little better. Besides working, he pick up aluminium tin and sell sting ray skin. Super eco-friendly and healthy attitude he acts. they recycle most of the things and reuse. not like current human. they just lead a simple life. and whenever, wherever we want to go, he will just drive us there. even 2hrs journey is not a problem for him. even if he don't get enough sleep, he still will go. this is the spirit of hospitality. last but not least, he will never ever let u pay for whatever u order. no chance and strictly no paying while dine in with him. i felt guilty for not able to buy him any meals and disturb him for a week. i promise whenever we go outing together again, or he come to Seremban, he got me! his act and sincerity touches me. he is someone you will be willing to give anything.
voila~ one of a kind...
