do something for myself 为我自己做点什么

Made lemon cake again for the weekend. 

又是在周日制作柠檬蛋糕。


















打工的日子前几天刚结束,终于可以为自己做点事情了。

说实在一点,我已经将近一个星期没有碰我的相机,因为打工的关系而忽略了自己所爱做的事。没有烘培,没有下厨,没有打扫,没有弹吉他,没有画画,没有每晚读我所爱读的书。
想一想,也不知道是好是坏。

我有一阵子好想在假期间不打工因为怕辛苦。但如果我们从未尝试,那几时才学会呢?

打工让我体会到被人拒绝的滋味,不是一次或两次的那种,而是连续几十次。 这也是服务业的苦衷之一。以  “客人永远是对” 的理念,我们也只能忍气吞声。为了省下那几块钱而饿肚子,不为小事计较,自己可能即将崩溃了但只能怪自己不够坚强。

经过这些风风雨雨,我们可能会因此而成长。


Days working as a part-timer is finally over and I'm now able to focus on things and do something for myself.

Ever since working, I neglected everything that mattered to me and practically left my camera alone for weeks. I didn't have the time to bake or cook, tidy up, play the guitar, draw or even read my favourite books. I don't know if this imbalance is a good thing or not.

There were times whereby I really detest the idea of working, but if we never try then when will we ever learn?

Being rejected not just once or twice, but 10  times in a roll during the working days did got into me. It is probably one of the hardest things to face when working in the service sector. We can only swallow our pride along the lines of "the customers is always right", skip lunches to save up that few dollars, accept small mistakes and can only blame our own for not being strong enough when we are in the brink of tears.

Maybe this is how we grow as a person.
