Ascendancy

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

I've come to realise how much I love my job now as a barista after going through two days of intense "training". Lessons weren't really dull at all, in fact I enjoyed every minute of them. First was probably due to the fact that my colleagues, or should I say classmates; were a group of enthusiastic and exuberant bunch of people. Most of them are people whom I got to know for the very first time, but there's one whom I was particularly have been "fated" to be with eversince we were from Primary school. The moment he came right into the class for our very first orientation; I called out his name out loud without a doubt. He whom I shall not say his name, but damn you guy for having to be there all the time and everywhere that I've been to ahaha. But everyone's been a joy to bw with during break time for each sessions. Simply put it; spontaneously fun-ny. And I gotta jell with them on the very first day of "orientation" easily. Second day, which ended right just now, was even better. We learn how to make all the different kinds of ice blended drinks(the ORIGINAL ice blended drinks of course) and the trainer himself, was absolutely good. Professional I daresay. And after our training session's ended, we hanged out for a group conversation right outside city hall's MRT station entrance before each and everyone of us part ways and bade farewell. Hopefully,we could see each other again for the next training which is on a Friday morning(Espresso brewing!).And life has just got better for me I guess, probably much better after today.

So tomorrow is the start for my very first job assignment as a barista. And my word, I'm really looking forward to it. Although I'm still going through training sessions on certain days in the month of May, I hope that I won't screw up as badly as I'm feeling right now. Gotta learn to be strong, confident and stick to my own judgement as a trainee. Like they say;

"...if you have any doubts whatsoever, please learn to ask your colleagues if you are uncertain on some particular questions or assignments you're having trouble dealing with. Its okay to be dumb for a minute rather than keeping it to yourself and being one for a lifetime.They're your colleagues, friends, work partners; not some hidden dragon crouching tiger whatever who's just waiting to pounce onto you like some helpless prey...Bear that in mind yeah, people..."

And of course, meeting new colleagues and friends are my top priorities, which for now has been wonderful for me.

But damn, even if you've come to realise how tired you are after all those training and work but most of the time, and I mean even before and after work shift; I've never been particularly restless or bored during the course of my training. Hopefully, my passion as a barista will sustain and my job will be an enjoyable one tomorrow! Hurray!
