一年前的我仍然很執著

(其實這已是一年前寫的日記。一年後的今日才發現自己改變許多,從前常耿耿於懷的事現在發現何足掛齒;應付麻煩人和事時也變得I don't care。現在,工作就是工作,做好份外事就算。)

回到一年多前:



- 最近提醒自己不要染上不好的習氣。活久了(?),又或是做事已做得老皮老肉,發現自己有傾向想要倚老賣老,覺得大家也這樣子,我同流合污也無不可。良知叫我臨崖勒馬,不要因為他人而把自己也一併拖入渾水。

- 上回說到every cloud has a silver lining,不過懶惰,略去不贅。只想記下機頭和三條很好人。

- 澳洲回港我超生氣。拍檔是個眼睛長頭頂的人,仗著自己年資深,十分不友善。裝模作樣不要緊,但冇料到只讓人覺得你貽笑大方(對不起我真的忍不住要抒發情緒)。第二餐要出A cart,第一餐pre-pour drinks在A cart拿果汁(work hard, work smart!);Preset cart把所有tray倒轉放。當時我友善的提醒她,想把冰山劈開,但後來發現,人生果然有很多徒勞無功的事。事做不好還要態度差真是⋯⋯

也不算在酒店不打招呼的事(姐說那刻開始就知道她不好惹),也不算做service時自己常溜回galley的事,最過份是2-man collection時她為了賣免稅品,極速把餐車拉走,收好自己區域的tray以後就把餐車留下,自己跑掉。我只好巴巴把車拉回機艙前半部繼續收拾。

好,我心想,雖然很無奈,但時間緊迫,她要趕著完成order也是情有可原的,不過她態度不用這樣衰。

誰不知她根本沒有order,她瘋了的趕只為了再走一轉宣傳折扣優惠!

好吧,惡人自有惡人磨。

悉尼咖啡店

常常想念悉尼唐人街的台灣餐廳干杯,闊別兩年後,再次吃到鹽酥雞肉燥飯和麻辣豬耳﹗

此行托Carmen的福,發掘了兩間環境不錯的cafe﹗

SOCIAL BREW CAFE
224 Harris St, Pyrmont NSW



我們下午兩時多才到達cafe,想不到客人仍然很多。眼闊肚窄,各自點了The Brew Deli Plate和Chicken breast burger,再share一份黑松露芝士薯條。咖啡是cappuncino,不喝奶的可轉soy milk。

我喜歡我的burger,因為雞肉never go wrong,哈哈,加上mango ginger chutney十分開胃,還有我最喜歡的sweet potato fries(美中不足是甜薯條灑了鹽粒)﹗

Truffle parmesan fries不點也不可惜,所謂的黑松露應該意指薯條是用松露油炸的,再灑上芝士粉,是一道普通的料理。


THE GROUNDS AT THE CITY
Shop RG 12, 500 George Street, Sydney NSW


第二天早上吃早餐,可以直接入座。前一天晚上經過時人很多呢,我們選對時間了﹗The Grounds at the City極度fancy,是那種check in打卡的地方(你到ig看看就知道了)。我欣賞這些精緻的咖啡店但長遠來說,Social Brew才是我一直會去的地方。The Grounds較像霎眼嬌,大家會一窩蜂峰擁而至;但Social Brew比較local(我覺得)。

反正我們就是興高采烈的走入The Grounds東張西望,最後點了Buttermilk Pancakes和Croissant with King Crab Salad,再加一杯Deconstruct Mocha和Mbrizi。

Carmen不滿自己的選擇,我也同意她的pancake不好吃;至於croissant,雖然龍蝦沙律份量很多,但整體而言也是一般而已。我對咖啡沒有研究,所以點了specialty也不懂欣賞。

還是值得一試,因為環境和menu很漂亮,而且他們的cake好像好好味﹗




經常幻想過簡單樸素的生活,例如在外國的咖啡店打工,下班踏單車經過街角的書店,撿一本書回家,沖一杯茶渡過晚上。

只能說,人果然是冇乜想乜。過了四年日夜顛倒的生活,我無限嚮往有規律而又健康的生活。願望實現過後,應該又會不惜福的羨慕別人自由吧。所以提醒自己要調整心態,要享受現在享受現在享受現在﹗

2017: Hotel Schlosskrone

Getting lazy once I was back to Hong Kong. But good memories should be well kept and shared so here I am again!

After spending time in Munich, we had a stopover in Nuremberg before we moved on to Füssen. It was a long day and I will make this part another post.

Let's talk about the hotels first. This time we stayed in Hotel Schlosskrone for 2 nights. It was very close to the train station (Füssen is a small place anyway). The hotel looks very Roman...I don't know why, probably because the interior design was all wooden...Oh right, it was like a sauna, haha! FYI, there was also a gym!




Anyway, staff was friendly and explained to us what were available and included. The room was unbelievably spacious! There were 2 double beds (which were comprised of 4 twin beds), a bathroom (with a shower and a tub), a toilet and a balcony! There was also a radio installed inside the toilet and it gave a relaxing feeling! I really liked it because it was set to a channel which plays English songs. I found good vibes in an unfamiliar setting. One thing that you probably should pay attention to is the door is made up of glass so it's partly transparent. Could be inconvenient for travellers who travel with friends or like me, with my dad.

After settling down, we went out, closed the door and found that the door could not be closed. I informed the receptionist and she said that she was on her own and the technician could only come in an hour. I thought it was okay but some might care about this so I better brought this up.

Another issue was the housekeeping. We didn't hang the sign but the ladies still knocked on the door, to our surprise. I just wonder if they would still come in if we happened to be not in the room? The ladies were amiable and therefore, we just rushed out of the room and let them clean it. We wanted to have a refill of water but there was a delay (like more than 2 hours?). We usually just bought water in supermarkets but that day was a public holiday so all the supermarkets were closed. In the end, we couldn't wait and resorted to buying water in the convenience store, which sold water at a price a few times more expensive. Other than that, everything was perfect!

Breakfast was good too! Not something splendid but It was satisfying! :)
