A little confession

I did promise my girlfriend that I'd stop smoking but recently I had a few...

The cause of my bad habit is stress...

Some may say I'm just saying that so I have a "reason" to smoke...maybe deep down it is. It's not something I'll brag about or be proud of.

Recently on a few occasions, I've viewed some flats that I really like but the problem is getting a mortgage...the banks and building societies have very very tight regulations for this now...I've been rejected numerous times.

I would really like my girlfriend to move in with me so I don't have to wait a week each time to see her...

I would love to have my own home to go home to...but it ties in the fact that I cannot get a mortgage.

Some dumb twit opened the door on my car yesterday while i was working!

In the next couple of weeks, my boss will have a few important friends and fellow business men coming from London and China. These people are very successful in their respective fields of work, my boss wants me to serve them and get to know them as it'll benefit me in future. Being Chinese (and myself included) I know the chances of them smoking and drinking is quite high...if what my boss hopes to happen happens...my bad habit could be useful.

Its common courtesy to accept and offer cigarettes to people you meet and hope to work with.

If these people take me on board...then...wow...i guess i can say another adventure will start...

Its a combination of these factors that turns me to smoking...do you think it's that bad??

As for now, I'll stop smoking and get on with my work!

Well... It's been a few years since my last update, and quite a bit has transpired. Since January 2020, our journey has seen the national lockdown in March/April 2020, during which Maki and Ramen held strong. In 2021, Maki and Ramen secured a prime spot in the new St. James Quarters, with yours truly being crowned Branch Manager of that flagship establishment. I put in the hard yards, but there were some twists and turns. My employer, Teddy, scheduled two events specifically on my days off, both with a hefty 50% discount. This turned my peaceful days into utter chaos for my staff. The audacity was that Teddy tried to pin the disarray on my supposed lack of organization. Fortunately, I'm not one to shy away from transparency. My work orders from the higher-ups were an open book, with both the Head of Kitchen and Head of Sushi in the WhatsApp group chats, privy to all the event planning for my branch. While we knew an event was on the horizon, the specifics were conspicuously abs...

Just ranting!

WHO THE HELL GAVE THAT WOMAN THE "BIRTH RIGHT" TO HAVE ME TAXI HER AROUND AND EXPECT ME TO JUST AGREE?!?!?! SCREW YOU TO HELL AND TO THE NEW AREA WHERE THEY ARE MAKING IT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU YOU STUPID VA***A COW!!!! OK that had to come out, here's the story, throughout this week so far, my employer's wife who is looking after the work place in his absence has used a Chinese curse word on me several times. This curse word itself curses you to basically trip over and bust your face. It sounds lame translated into English but if you are Chinese and know which word I am referring to, then you know my anger, I can take it as a joke every once in a while but when you use that consistently,  you are testing my patients on how long I can withhold from punching that face of yours! So, its 12:46am now in UK, just over 2 hours ago, I was finishing up at work, Lisa (Boss' wife) comes strolling along and says "Hakuren, you busy tomorrow morning? I need a life up t...

Sleepless...

The past few nights has been horrendous for my sleep...mother needs to book flights, she seems unable to get the flights that suits her...,relatives visiting late (i mean after 12am late, while I must be up at 7am latest)... and their constant chatter, with the occasional laughter wake me from my almost deep sleep stage! Yet they always tell me to be more considerate to those who sleep for they have work the next day... At least I've got a night out planned, that's something to look forward to as well as a couple of drinks and meeting new people! Viva Le Weekend!!!
