Journey 3 1/7

I tot I could manage after my first cruise..but...
1st sept, 2nd cruise, first day..gotta admit, bad day..super super bad day..I'm so sad..
I guess I'll make my waiter from nice to not nice..jeopardize the service, blur, slow, dropped tray and break stuffs! (I think this is where everything starts to go hay wire)
with the new system being practiced, with my lack of strength and speed, with my being too kind don't know how to rush and say no..I don't know..can I not cope?
Looks like even if I can sell also no use..he wants fast, but I'm slow..sigh..
And wanting fast, limits me from conversing with the passengers as well..hmm
Can only pray to God to make things better..

I think by this time, any slight thing my feet hit, is gonna hurt so bad..

I have a table of Chinese passenger for 2 weeks, speaking canto, not sure if at the start got talk bout me being a Chinese etc, but we've been communicating in English, I tried to use canto but I guess it's not very obvious, and they've been talking and making statements among each other, macam I don't und like that, but ofcos, I act like I don't und also la..and stopped the attempt to use canto..heh

And a passenger, a Christian, offered to pray for me..which reminded me that I am supposed to pray each chair for ppl to be saved lolll..

Looks like no opportunity to go for tours this time, as u wouldn't know when I could get off, when they will schedule you..only if breakfast team then yes, easier to manage..sigh

Ah, dry dock is after I go home..makes more sense..

I called a madam, sir!=O

People from my first contract tends to rem me..I tot I could manage after my first cruise..but...who, r they? lol..I'm so bad..and yea, they rem me for being chubby..

Got my first day off on week 3! On a port that I've never been before, Puerto Rico, San Juan (itinerary change due to wheater)..as usual, roam around donno do what..and end up in Starbucks..n have a chat with passenger..




Went to medical too, due to my skin, suspect bed bugs, which everyone is telling me, but idk..but at the same time, my skin condition is kinda bad too..sigh..was told I got high blood pressure too =O but was back to normal the next visit..and it's bed bug positive! Moved to passenger cabin for a nite hehe..so only 1 bug is found hmmm..could it really be just my prob?
Ah, fix my bed 4 times in less than a month..tired me!

Seasick hits again..and I don't have my ginger drink this time round..noooo

out at few new ports, there goes my rest time..

Falmouth, Jamaica..just for the sake of going out lol



Cartegana, like a rainforest just by the port..birds, flamingo, deer etc..at least sth to see hehe



Went through Panama Canal, honestly, what's up with the his canal? About the locks? Gotta read more bout it..



And limon..stroll for 30 mins at least and finally found the Chinese restaurant that ppl are talking about..ok la the food hehe
Ordered too much..first time having so much rice after one month..


Oh, I was saying I didn't like traditional dining? Well actually it's not tooooo bad..I guess I'd rather stay here than to the one half and half..but still, I'd rather go to anytime dining..so long as I stay put (good training ground before going anytime) or go to anytime, but don't go to the half n half one will do..


Thank God for throughout:

2. Got few days private room, changed and at least I think my roomie is nice too
3. Nice waiter, not bad la
