S餐厅

第一次知道S餐廳的存在是初中。也忘了是哪一年了。那是和友人在皇后灣閒逛,然後看著她買了一份三明治。
中五那年的某個假期,陪伊媽媽去陽光廣場添購日常用品。那附近新開了一家S餐廳,就帶著伊媽媽一起去那兒叫了兩份當日特惠。記得那時的菜單是烤雞塊。
在櫃檯後的服務員都穿著圍裙,上面寫著三明治能手。那感覺就像去咖啡廳,看見調咖啡師父。

那時是接近應考SPM,經常會想說看完試後該打什麼工。
由於從小長得平庸、臉上長滿痘痘,自卑、內向再加上不喜歡推銷員的作風,就覺得說可以嘗試S餐廳。
過了沒多久的某一天,從學校搭巴士回家的路上,看見S餐廳開分行的招聘布條,就撥了電話去應徵。

面試官是餐廳的老闆。當時老闆最大的顧慮是,年紀小,身形小。
餐廳裡的工作簡單,可是工作繁多,而且需要用到機械,深怕我做了兩天的工就消失。

自小和伊媽媽進出咖啡店,長時間接觸飲食業,覺得就是回去老本行而已嘛~
後來才發現,我想得太簡單了~ 自己對S餐廳的認知,幾乎是零啊!
不同口味的麵包、各式各樣的肉類、不同風味的醬料,還有那些我懂中文卻不懂英文的蔬菜...

訓練期是在某商場的S餐廳,也是全島的第一家、生意額最頂尖的S餐廳。
幸好遇到的師傅和客人都很好,邊做邊學,兩個星期就上手了基本的前台與廚房工作。
兩個星期後就被調回原本應徵的S餐廳,加入全新的團體,開始全新的營業。
餐廳開始正式投入運作時剛好是聖誕節前夕。

大約兩個月後,餐廳發生了大事- 老闆高薪聘請的主管突然辭職,餐廳頓時失去了支柱。
開店時的第一批員工有四人,那時就剩下兩人了,一人值早班,一人值夜班。
我就是值早班的那位,所以得在一個星期的時間內學完查貨、點貨、下訂單等主管的日常工作。

那年五月,回到母校,升上中六。跟老闆請了兩個星期的假期回去上課。
兩個星期後,學校開始放兩個星期的假期,又回到餐廳上班。
也在那兩個星期裡,我交上退學信。
同年七月,為了升學,我到對岸讀書,終於正式離開S餐廳。

三年後,我畢業了,在等著大學的錄取,去了某商場工作,遇見餐廳老闆。
同年,我被島內的大學錄取了。
借了貸學金升學,貸款數額無法應付生活開銷。
大學暑假碰上回曆新年,S餐廳缺人手,我又回去了。

隔年,終止了入不敷出的貸學金,借了可轉換貸款。
經濟狀況終於有所改善。

除了帮忙应付餐廳在回曆新年期间的人手问题,我个人觉得自己已经学不到新的东西,一直原地踏步。
大学的最后一个暑假,我想让自己有些新突破,尝试不一样的领域。
今年七月,我再次正式離開S餐廳。

小病在身邊 6 : 來龍去脈

Previous Post :小病在身邊 5 : 青春而長痘 長痘而青春

After writing five posts in Chinese, I decided to continue writing this series in English.

After graduating from my Chinese secondary school, I have been living in multi-racial community around 7 years. I have friends from different races and different background. Not much of them understand Chinese. 

Other than blog, I also do some short updates on Instagram.
I wrote the captions in Chinese and I start receiving messages from my friends who cannot read Chinese asking if I am okay.
I appreciate every heartwarming message by them and I would like to keep my status updated to all people around me who really care about me, so I decided to write in English.

The problem is I am poor at writing, especially English.
Please do correct me (comment below) if I am wrong (misuse the language, grammar, etc.).
Let me know so that I can improve my English.


Why am I seeing a university clinic letter on Yi Han's Instagram?
Is there any thing happened to Yi Han?
Is she okay?

These are the questions that pop up in your minds when you see my Instagram update, am I right?
It is actually a post telling everyone that

The nearly two-month observant period in USM clinic has came to the end.
I will bring along all the wishes to find the truth bravely.
I am fine, don't have to personal message me.  
If there is anything, my fingers will not stay quiet from reporting.

What happened?

There were 2-3 lumps under right my chin and neck.
It was not the first time, but it was the worst on May 2017.
I could not remembered when was the first time, because I thought it was just acne like my face.
It came, I put on medicine, and it disappeared. This cycle has kept repeating for at least 4 years.

At first, I thought it was me being too lazy to put on skincare and I started to be 'hardworking' to have skincare on my neck too (which supposed to be. Always remember the neck when we put skincare on our face.).

Next, I thought it was due to the oily hair cream and I decided not to use any hair cream although I have frizzy and curly hair.

Then, I thought it was due to my hair. I used to jog around almost everyday. The weather was hot. I made my own conclusion that I am not suitable to have long hair because I could not even take care of the hygiene. Whenever the 'acne' grew, I cut my hair. Even though my boyfriend at that time disagree on me to have pixie hairstyle, I insisted. Having a pixie hairstyle does not mean that I am Lesbian ( I am not opposed to same sex relationship) nor masculine attitude. I understand that boys like their girlfriends to have feminine hairstyle, but I just wanted to get rid of the 'acne'.  

The same thing happened to my ear.
I thought it was just hygiene problem.
When I broke up with my boyfriend, I cried almost every night and the tears went into my ears.
After few months, I stopped that, but it still happened.

In the early 2017, I was very busy organising event that I lost myself.
Averagely, I slept 4 hours a day and I have no time to get myself a mask.
It was normal that I have bad skin at that time.
On May 2017, I started to take really good care of myself.
I used top recommended skin products for my skin type and tied my hair up all the times (even at sleeping time).
The result was really upset and felt my efforts had been in vain.

I went to visit USM clinic. The visits experience was updated on the previous posts.
The conclusion from the previous posts was the 'acne' shrink but I still can feel the lumps.
On 19 May 2017, the doctor wrote a letter for me to bring the case to Penang General Hospital.

20 July 2017 | Visit to Penang General Hospital


I woke up early in the morning to start my GH journey.
It was not my first time visiting GH, but it was my first time visiting GH alone. **yahoo~ level up~**

First, I went to OPD clinic.
The doctor was Chinese, studying abroad and returned Malaysia for service.
It was a less than 5 minutes meeting, but he talked a lot.
There was nothing in my ear, so the thing to cure is the 'acne' on my chin and neck.
The doctor could not see anything there, but he touched and felt the lump.
He sent me to Jabatan Pergigian.

When I reached the clinic, it was stated Jabatan Bedah Mulut.
HHHMMMMMM.... 'Bedah Mulut' really scared me.
I was given specialist (unlike ortho department that I visit different specialist for each visit).
 X-ray of my mouth was taken and need to wait for the results.
The next appointment will be next month.

This GH trip ends around 10.30 a.m.
It took me 3 hours to go through 3 department.
Speedy process.


Here's the end of the update.
Hope it answers your curiosity.
Thank you for your well wishes.
Stay tuned for the next update. <3

小病在身邊 5 : 青春而長痘 長痘而青春

上一章:小病在身邊 4 : 口罩女孩

2017 年 7 月 19 日 | 第五次复诊

5月11日第一次挂诊至今已经超过两个月。
脸上的痘痘已经明显退去,剩下一些痘疤。
这帖文就与大家分享我这两个月所面对的自己吧~



5月31日前后那几日,是最严重的阶段。
伤口红肿、留血水、身体缺水,夜间还抱着水壶灌水,伤口疼得难以入睡。
那段期间,恰巧是温习周。
我在家里住了大约三天后,伤口开始发作,我就回去宿舍了。
温习周到考试期间,我都减少外出。
午餐、晚餐,都是外带回宿舍食用,尽量不在公共场合呆太久,免得吓着了别人,也免了善心人士向我介绍护肤产品、护肤专家等,还要被我婉拒。





痘痘问题缠绕我多年,
诊所的医生们都喜欢说:小女孩、年轻人,有青春痘很正常,有青春痘才证明你年轻啊~ 青春期过了就没事了;
菜市、咖啡店等公共场合遇到叔叔阿姨就喜欢介绍民间疗法;
遇到同学朋友就喜欢给我介绍昂贵的护肤专家、护肤产品;
可是当中的苦,只有自己知。。。

难得有医生愿意诊治它,心里真的很兴奋、很感恩。

其实这次的治疗,痘痘是其次。
最主要的还是脖子上和下巴的囊肿。
虽然经消退许多,可是那小硬块迟迟不愿离去。
原以为今天也是个去复诊拿药的日子,可是医生却作了另一个决定。


医生本来要我去Bertam,大学的另一个诊所,接受样品采集来进行化验。
可惜路途太遥远,我只好请医生为我写推荐信去中央医院。

那我在中央医院发生了什么事情呢?
请留守接下来的帖子咯~
