Festive period, crowds and crowds of ppl going to cinema to watch movies, that's why today was a super busy day for me, stationed at the snack bar. Cooked 3 bags of popcorn, took 2 hours and at the end I reaked of popcorn oil. Cooking the popcorn at first was fun, but got tiring and boring after a while. Anyway, sweet popcorn is cooked with 1 cup of popcorn, 2 cups of sugar and 1 spoonful of compound S, which is a mixture of sugar and a soy based product to prevent the popcorn from sticking together. While the salty popcorn is simple cooked with 1 cup of popcorn and 1 spoonful of some orange coloured powder, not salt though.

Then later when the crowds stared coming in, things got a bit busy, I was taking orders after orders and filling the popcorn into the boxes and collecting the money, while the others did the filling of drinks and cashering. One small girl came up to me and pointed to the popcorn, the she raised 1 finger. I asked her whether she wanted the sweet or salted one and I saw a big ? on her face.

So I said: :Sweet one or kiam kiam one?"

"Sweet one" was the reply.

Could hardly see her behind the counter. But so cute.

And today was the 1st time a customer wished me a Happy Chinese New Year. That really made my day.
