01/04 I had some meat these past two days, I guess the oil in my body went up. Haven’t shower for two days, and now I got a pimple on the back of my neck.
03/04 Today I listened to Jp anime music while walking to the community centre to help serve dinner. But when I was getting my food, that indian man acted in a way that annoyed me. He gave me salad and then scooped most part of it off with the spoon in his hand and smiled saying, too much for you. Finally I got 5,6 leaves on my plate. And I got one piece of chicken, when I noticed he gave another volunteer, a white lady, a full spoon of chicken, and even asked if she wanted more. I was thing, wtf. But I couldn’t complain to the leader bcos it’s not a big deal, he’s her husband, and I didn’t want to make eveyone feel awkward over sth so small. Maybe he thought I was too obesity and needed to lose weight, at least that’s how I comforted myself. Today I also found out there are three couples in the volunteer group. I felt a little uncomfortable bcos I’m the only one young person there (except one lady’s little daughter and son, and she has four children! ). The ppl who come here for dinner, can play bingo, a lucky game, eat early, asked for more and take food away, and even get an extra food box after the meal, and they don’t have to do anything or arrive early, have time for the game. I come one hour early, and I can’t eat anything before serving most ppl, and I also usually can’t take a food box home (maybe if I asked, Angelica–the leader, would consider it, but no other volunteer does that, some of them don’t even eat the dinner, so I don’t ask for anything) . The indian man took one plate and tried the dessert while Amanda and I were plating the desserts, he took a small bite, then threw it in the bin, and after we finished plating, I asked Amanda if I could have one now, she said maybe we should wait until everyone had their desserts. I was thinking ab that indian’s behavior, wtf that. Many ppl, especially Chinese, ask for extra plates, like two or three, and secretly put it in their food boxes (bcos that’s not allowed before everyone get their plate, but they keep doing that) , and after the meal, usually there’s some food left, they even ask for another take-away box. At first, this really annoyed me, but later I just told myself, you didn’t pay for it anyway, just let them be. Ab the p-t job, I asked Laura about my salary today, I thought they might have missed me. I still haven’t received my payment.
0404 Today I went to the Epsom centre. It was pouring rain, my pants and shoes were soaked. I only got the infor ab going there early this morning (after I said yes, I also received the infor from the centre I often go to, asking me to come this day) , I rushed to get ready and didn’t think much. This time I went to a different centre in St Lukes, teachers there were very nice, the first teacher who saw me even kindly found me some dry pants and shoes. But the two Chinese teachers in the infants’ room had so many small talks ab the Indian teacher, who is a 21yo girl, although the young Indian girl indeed has those questions. And they three also did a lot of girl chats during the working time. Later when we were ready to serve breakfast to babies, the fire alarm went off. We had to carry babies outside into the rain. Two fire trucks showed up very soon. Someone said the reliever working in the kitchen caused it–wasn’t the first time. I asked Laura ab my salary, she said maybe I’ll get it next week. I hope it won’t affect my rent payment. When I got back, I ate several small bread that had been expired for 10 days—I got it from the community centre when I came back–but it tasted good, maybe it had been stored in the fridge. After that I planned to brush teech and go to bed early, since I barely slept last night bcos of some emotions. I closed the baseroom’s door and I saw a big mouse! And the mouse found the door was closed, started freaking out, running all over the place, I screamed so loudly, and the husband of the family I live with came out to check, I rushed out and told him there was a big mouse inside, he then tried to kill it. The whole time, I was holding my toothbrush tightly.
