GOODBYE 2005

This will be my last entry of 2005 since tmr aft wrk gg cntdwn so confirm wun b blogging. It has alrdy been a tradition 2 celeb ting's bday cntdwn every yr.

Time flies, in a wink of an eye, a yr has passed again. When i was on my way home frm wrk juz nw, many thoughts fleet thru my mind as i listened to 933. I was recalling stuff tt haf happened tis yr. Surprisingly.. wat came 2 my mind 1st were mainly e happy and joyful events. The bad times haf not overpowered the good times huh.. though 1 unhappy event can wipe away the joyous memories of several yrs.

I've gained many things and of coz i've oso lost some valuables.

I realised smtimes i prefer things tt r harder 2 obtained, cannot b obtained.

I take things for granted at times.

I cant hide my emotions well and my close frens noe me too well till i find it rather scary.

And i muz stressed tat i'm NOT a hardcore gambler ok! I DUN buy soccor bets though smtimes i say i want to.

I'm glad my r/s wif my dad has gt better tis yr aft all tat had happened in e past which made me v depressed.

I'm touched when i recall wat my frens did for me in times when i'm feeling dwn.

I'm happy when i noe tat my smile n laughter brings pple joy. (Haha perhaps not to everyone)

I'm elated when i noe pay day is drawing near.

I'm sad when smtimes my mum tok abt hw she wish my granny is still ard coz she misses her mum.

I'm angry whenever my neighbour smokes outside my corridor.

I'm irritated whenever any kid/baby cry early in e morn disturbing my sleep.

I'm envious when pple tell me they r gg overseas.

I'm disturbed when e wrg pple gets attracted to me. (Hahahahahaha!! Aft typing tis line, i find it so amusing.)

I'm thankful to wat i've been bestowed, ie. my family n frens, and how fate takes care of me at times.

I believed in karma, wat goes around come around. So when i noe i cant do anything to get back at e pple hu haf did me an injustice, tis is my consolation.

"Watever tough times we encountered were challenges to test our limits. " A fren once told me tis, i tink is rather true.

Leave all e unhappy memories behind and let them all disappear together wif 2005 as we usher in a new hopeful 2006!

THANK YOU

Wow tis yr i receive much more presents den wat i've given. I've only bought a few gifts mainly for exchanged wif frens. Do u feel obliged 2 buy sthg 4 tat person when tat person suddenly surprise u wif a gift? In a way i do.. But of coz i dun return tat favour 2 everyone hu gif me sthg. It depends on who tat person is. Haha..

Well i'm indeed surprise 2 receive some presents frm some frens tis yr. Surprise can b anticipated or non-anticipated ones. Tis time i'm refering to the latter. I've gt a few pleasent n unexpected surprises, be it frm frens, ex-colleagues or colleagues. I like such pleasent surprises, yea like them all! But dun expect me 2 be feel so touched to e extent i'll teared, tis i dun tink is likely 2 happen. Haha.. Thank you for everything!

******************************************************

TIMES PASSES DAMN FAST ON MY OFF-DAY

Yest i was doing noon shift, so tot i can sleep till a later time but was waken by my dear neighbour's kid!!!! God-knows-wat-reason he is wailing so early at 8 plus, make me wake up frm my beautiful dream. Arghhhhh.. Den e same thing happen 2day. Tis time e culprit -> my parents. Coz they want me 2 help them ran some errand, n they noe i nid 2 go 2 e bank 2day. Pls, bank open at 9.30am. They wake me up at 8am!!!! Den they keep disturbing me, making me unable sleep.

Aft tat went back home 2 get changed n go all e way to cwp, supposedly 2 do A a favour. Coz he noes i meeting xn in e evening, so ask me go cwp n collect sthg. The bus journey frm hougang 2 woodlands took 45 mins, q fast.. The route v smooth, all straight n long roads. I like it. At tat moment really feel like gg m'sia. Coz i felt like eating dou sha bing.

In e end, i was tricked by A. Coz he noes i wld b damn lazy to travel all e way to cwp so he gotta come up wif an "impt" reason 2 trick me into gg cwp. He gt me a very belated bday cum xmas present, is a swatch watch. Tat was really unexpected, coz my bday is long over n xmas is oso over. Perhaps he wanted make me feel better so tat i'll accept e present, e way he say is like e watch he gt 4 me is frm a sale, super cheap. And joke tat if i'm touched muz cry?!! Siao ding dong.. As u noe, my wrist is kinda small. So i went 2 the branch @ orchard 2 adjust e length. The staff told me tat watch is a limited edition, if i punch a hole there will de-value e watch n spoil e design. So in e end i didnt adjust e length.

Aft tat, i went over to nokia service centre at wheellock coz my hp keep giving me probs lately. I cant listen 2 e radio or mp3 songs wif my ear piece. And i was served by tis irritating guy. I dunno wat miracles his hands do. Coz aft stating wat probs my hp haf, i pass him my hp. My hp seemed 2 b cured. He asked for my ear piece. Being a very untidy gal, i felt kinda embarrass as i hand over e messily-entangled ear piece. He took quite smtime 2 help me undo it.

Aft fixing e ear-piece 2 my hp,
He: Ur hp is ok, very clear. Nthg wrg wif radio or ur mp3 songs.

Me: But last nite n tis morn it isnt wrking

He: Er now is fine alrdy. I tink u didnt fix e ear-piece properly tats y u tot is spoilt.

Me: No. I'm v sure i fix it properly. Coz my fren tried it too. And tis morn i double check wif my dad, is not wrking.

He: But nw is really fine, so theres nthg for us 2 check

Me: Wat if 2nite it spoil again?

He: Den u bring it back again. (Aft saying tat, still dare 2 smile?!!!!!)

Eh hello, 本小姐 very busy lately. Where gt time 2 come dwn again.. Samore i waited for at least 40 mins. So i die die oso want sthg 2 b done 2 my hp. I'm becoming like those unreasonable customer. But i really dun care.

Me: Erm my hp smtimes e ringtone v soft, but nw is back to normal. Can u help me check, if theres anything wrg?

He: (still smiling) Nw there is nthg wrg, there's nthg for us 2 check. Juz like ur earpiece can listen to radio nw, so theres nthg for us 2 repair oso.

Me: (!&$#@* Go 1 round to shoot me) Den is there a newer version, i want 2 upgrade. (yes i juz dun wish tat aft 45 mins of waiting, n nthg is done 2 my hp)

He: Actually u dun haf 2 follow e trend of upgrading all e time. And u'll lose all ur stuff, ur nice wallpapers n ring tones if u upgrade.

Me: Ya upgrade lor.. nvm, my wallpapers i can redl again.

He: Ur contacts will oso b gone too (gif me a stupid smirk look)

Me: Huh.. Erm... (oh shit.. i nv do back up. Argh.... but i'm tinking if i shld copy dwn e numbers at tat moment. But i oso noe, tat will take v long 2 copy all e numbers.)

He: Actually e newer software is juz for those pple wif sms probs. U will lose everything if u upgrade. Ur hp wallpaper is v cute n nice. Seriously, i tink u dun nid 2 upgrade.

Me: (I was v reluctant) Alrite den. ( i was tinking anyway if dun nid repair even better, i can go round shopping better den waiting for e stupid fone 2 b serviced)

In e end, i din meet xn again coz she nid 2 do ot again.. Arghhh.. Thus i do my own shopping n bought a lot of stuff 2day.. It was till close to 9pm i felt hungry gt e sudden urge 2 eat e fried rice frm crystal jade. Ya n i went. Haha.. 1 person v easy 2 get a seat despite e long queue. The auntie hu serve me is so nice, v motherly.. Coz i was sms-ing when my food came. Den she hurried me 2 eat b4 my rice turn cold. And sort of chatted wif me coz she c tat i'm alone. And ask izzit there's a lot of sales 2day tats y i bought so much stuff. Hahaha.. And when i was waiting for my bill, she poured a glass of ice water n said, "Drink sm water."

Tats v thoughtful, isnt it?

I've help ting to check out both Balcony & Indochine. Oh man, they dun allow reservation. Called ting n told her abt it.. Haha.. Dun tell me sat we really gg spend at roadside.. Poor zhen, wif her bubble skirt.. Hahaha...

EVALUATION OF W (PART 2)

Today for e 1st time i tink W is not tat bad, as a boss. Is Dimple's bday, and he actually gt a surprise for her! Initially in e late evening, out of sudden, he said sthg like, "want 2 eat ice-cream?" Oh e ice-cream is juz in front of us, v nice but q ex.. Everyday wrking there face e ice-cream drooling.

And my reply was, "is it ur treat 1st?"
Haha he said, "ya go n buy lor"

I tink i'm too stunned by him, tis stingy W actually wanna treat ice-cream leh. But when he said yes i still hesitate. I tink i juz couldnt believe my ears. But dimple said she dun wan, so in e end none of us went 2 buy. And i was tinking in my heart, hmph he was juz trying 2 humour us again.

Den aft tat he went out 2 buy some stuff.. He came back wif some bags of stuff frm a supermkt. And i said to him, "wah u buy us presents!" Haha.. i tink smtimes i really too daring in shooting him 2 make him feel paiseh. I dunno y.. smtimes i'll purposely say things wif e intention of highlighting hw stingy he is.

And so, he replied, "i gt mineral water, u want? Gif u a big bottle."
Den when we were doing closing.. he actually went out 2 buy a small slice of cake n lighted wif a candle 2 surprise Dimple!! And e bags frm e supermkt were actually e plastic cups he bought n a bottle of champagne grape juice. Tats so nice rite.. As in coming frm W.. So rare n unexpected.

When i was on way home, receive a msg frm W which i believe he sms everyone e same msg. "Merry Christmas to u! Thks for e hard wrk!"

My reply 2 him was, " Merry Xmas 2 u too! U'r such a nice boss today. Hahahaha!"
(today; catch my meaning??) LOL!

We are all gg 2 eat steamboat which is juz across e street aft our wrk tmr (a/c to W he's gg bring us 2 e one wif nicer steamboat not e one tats advertise on tv), sort of bday celebration for Dimple. He said we'll close at 10pm tmr. We've been closing at 12am past few days, tink tmr we shld b able 2 close early. Yeah finally!

EVERYONE SEEMS 2 B SHOPPING @ BUGIS

Yest was e horror of my wrk so far. Been wrking full shifts for past 2days, n e "best" part was yest opening hrs was extended n i was supposed 2 wrk till midnite! Faint! I wasnt informed b4 hand, tat was v unexpected so can u imagine i was like counting dwn to 1030pm, den when i tot i was abt 2 knock off, L(W's wife) tell me tis.

L: "Today u can claim cab fare hor.." (In a sweet n act cute tone)

Me: "wat cab fare? Dun tell me 2day i'm supposed to stay till 12+ horr"

L: "Wah smart gal, i dun haf 2 spell out. Anyway not much diff rite, juz an hr later."

Me: Huh?!!! I dun wan.... I wrking full shifts for MANY days liao leh.

L: "Tmr u wrking at 12? U can come later, i'll make e arrangement n tell him abt it."

I tink i muz b too brain-dead. Coz i realised it only 2day tat staying till midnite is not gg hm an hr later, is more den tat lor. And i reached hm at 1plus, all bcoz e stupid taxi queue is so long till i waited for half an hr 2 get a taxi!!! Tis morn dimple gt a scare, called me several times coz she tot i'm wrking at 11am. But i was too deeply in sleep tat i din hear. Haha!

Initially my day din start well in e afternoon, was feeling rather pek cek wif myself n everything tat happens seem 2 make me v pek cek. I feel tat e whole world owes me sthg. Haha.. And my boss, W, came early at ard 2 plus. With his stupid camera, he go round taking our candid shots. I din want 2 gif him any face, when he said "smile n look here", i simply walk away. He said i'm so fierce 2day. Hmph! Anyway, aft a while i'm feeling better coz dimple keep doing a lot of funny things tat make me really luff at her.

And oso i was pleasently surprised when my GOOD fren came n surprised me wif a xmas present. And he keep reminding me tat i'm not supposed 2 open it till 25th. Coz my theory is, u receive present on tat day u open on tat day lor, xmas present dun haf 2 wait till xmas den open. But he said tats not e way.. Alrite alrite, i'll listen tis time n endure till 25th. And bcoz i received a present frm him tis yr, i shall pray hard tat 2nite's match, Arsenal will win.. Though i doubt so since Chelsea is leading by 2 goals alrdy.. Haha..

Den evening xn came wif her bf. Haha.. the 2 of them v funny.. pretend 2 b my customers so tat W wun b suspicious.. She said she's gg take leave on my nxt off day so tat there wun b any risk of doing OT. Haha i tink both of us haf tat common fear now..

W left our outlet at ard 8 to go over 2 another outlet so i'm left wif all e rest. Yeah when e boss is not ard, hooray! I tot i can b off early 2nite.. But guess wat he called back n said, both me n T(another temp staff) muz wait for him 2 return, e rest of them(3 of them) can go home 1st at 10pm. Hmph unfair rite? So of coz i keep complaining 2 him over e fone tat i wrk till midnite yest but none of them did, so y cant i go home 1st??? N in e end, he gif me tis reason.

W:"They little gals cannot go home too late by themself mah.. Blah blah blah.." (i dun wan 2 hear his reasoning)

Me: "But i tired leh. I oso want 2 go home. Can u come back faster?

W: "yaya, i'm doing closing here alrdy, will b back by 1045. If i'm not back by 1045, u do closing 1st."

Dimple n her sis v nice. They said they will not ps me so will stay till W returns. At 1015, i decided 2 close for e day. I dun care alrdy.. At most get nagging frm W for closing so early. The gals wasnt tat sure coz they scared W will b angry but i insisted n keep psycho-ing them to close for e day. Den aft tat is a series of foto-taking session using their hp. I din use my hp coz i tink i look hideous, so i wasnt tat keen on taking fotos. They were trying v hard 2 capture all 5 of us in 1 shot using their hp.

W came n caught us in e act of photographing. He was v much amused by us n luff at wat we were doing. And said we shld use his camera coz will b much easier. When i finally gt a chance wif his cam, i was so happy. My intention was 2 delete all my candid shots. But b4 i managed 2 figure out hw 2 delete, W caught me n snatched back his lousy cam. So all e candids still inside. Argghhhh..

But he said he's gg allow ting come over wrk wif me tmr. Yeah! Been pestering him regarding tis for q smtime alrdy, i tink he cant stand me.. Haha..

OBSCENE!!

Was walking hm happily, feeling relieved tat i managed 2 get my xmas shopping done 2day since i wun b having anymore off-days till xmas over. I was tinking abt tis coming xmas, tinking abt my job, tinking abt e things tat happened 2 my galfrens lately. Dunno y, whenever i'm walking e path alone frm e bustop @ e train station 2 my home, i'll get a bit engrossed in my reflections at times.. I rem i used 2 complained a lot abt e walk home, nw kinda used 2 it. Esp on a nite where e weather is v cooling n breezy.

So i was engrossed in my thots till i came 2 a void deck smwhere near my blk coz i heard some giggling frm a distance.. Den rite in front of me is tis couple in their 20's, doing sthg RA. (Hmm i dun tink i wanna go into e details lah, anyway is sthg more den kissing n hugging. Leave some room for ur wild imagination. Hahaha!)

Wah lau!!! I hate tis manz. Is like i felt so damn paiseh 2 be caught in tat situation. I felt as if i've invaded into their territory. Coz they immed stopped n looked at me. Pls lah, u guys juz appeared rite in front of me, i didnt even notice frm afar. If not i wld haf rather take another route. I cant even rem if i did murmured a "sorry", while i faster walked past them. Argh.. i juz dun tink is rite or feel comfortable seeing pple behaving SO intimately in public. The law nv state such acts r illegal meh??? Pls b more sensitive to e living beings ard. I dun wish 2 get sore eyes.

************************************************

PRIDE & PREJUDICE

Went 2 catch Pride & Prejudice 2day. Great show wif a sweet ending! They've gt v nice n intelligent conversations. But smtimes they were speaking a little too fast so i din manage catch wat they were saying. If u'r tinking of wat shows 2 watch, tis is one show tat i'll strongly rec u 2 watch. Oh actually i gt tis novel by Jane Austen. Haha.. Bought in during sec sch days. Not bcoz i like it or wat, but i noe i nid 2 buy a thick storybk. I tink is for silent reading purposes in class or is compulsory 2 buy an english bk tats y i bought it. But i nv read tat bk b4 since i was always pretending 2 be reading in class (hahaha!), n i dunno where e hell i put tat bk. Tried searching for tat bk 2day coz ting gt say she wanna borrow but didnt manage 2 find it.

Guess tats abt all, feeling tired frm all e walking i had wif my galfrens 2day. Bedtime!

TIME SHOWS A PERSON'S TRUE COLOURS

"Time will tell....". Tats a questionable statement.

There r times where it takes u a short while to know a person's personality, smtimes is a long while, tough times take u forever or never.

MY COLLEAGUE, S

Yest sthg funny happened 2 my colleague, S. Alrite, perhaps 2 her isnt funny, but 2 me is funny. I was supposed 2 report 2 wrk at 2pm. I was lunching wif my GOOD fren when S called at ard 1.30. She sound so frantically asking if i'm reaching soon. For a moment i tot i rem my shift wrgly n checked wif her again if i'm supposed 2 be there at 2pm. Ya so i was rite. Den she explained tat she's v scared n asked me 2 arrived earlier so tat she can explained 2 me wat happened. My guess was tat perhaps she cant cope wif e crowd or sthg went wrg for a transaction or gt items stolen in e shop. Hence right aft our lunch, we went over 2 e shop.

When i reached, both S n Dimple (Dimple is another colleague) mistook my GOOD fren as my bro. Hahaha! And anyway, S dun wan 2 tell me wat happened coz my GOOD fren is ard. Erm till nw i still find it v wierd lah.. like wat has it gt 2 do wif him n y cant say in his presence. Hence it was till he left den S told me wat happened.

S: "Juz nw smbody ask for my number n i gif him. "

Me: "Woo.. Den y u so scared? Good looking anot? "

S: "Nono... He is an old man. He ask me my name, wat time i start wrk, wat time i'm off etc. "

Me: " Huh?!!! Old man?? Y u gif old man ur number? Die liao lor.. he's gg follow u home n keep harrassing u. Hahahaha!"

S: " I dunno.. i juz tell him everything when he asked. Coz i tot he is a customer. (Faint! I dunno hw come she gt tis idea) Den when he left, i regret giving him my number."

Me: "Nxt time pple ask for ur number, dun gif them. No matter is young, old, man or woman. Juz gif them our company's name card can alrdy. (I sound as if i'm her mother) If not later ur hp bill shoot up den u noe. Or mayb they stalk u, tats even worse. Whahahaha!"

S: "ah really... Den how? Wat shld i do?"

Me: "nthg u can do lor.. luckily 2day u early shift, still v safe for u 2 go home alone."

I tink i scared her 2 her wits.. Coz e whole day she so scared. Dare not go toilet by herself but i wasnt tat free 2 escort her 2 toilet. Anyway i tink is really safe, coz 1stly the toilet is not located at a remoted area, is public area plus broad daylight a lot of passerbys. I told her if gt anything juz scream lah. Hahaha..

Tats yest. I tot its over alrdy. 2day when we r preparing 2 close for e day. Boss asked S 2 leave 1st. I was still doing sthg so still cant leave. S said she's gg wait 4 me. I din noe is bcoz she's scared tat there'll b an old man stalking her so i keep asking her 2 leave 1st coz i'm taking diff mode of transport frm her. In e end, she explained she dare not walked 2 e train station herself coz she scared she might be followed. (Faint faint faint!! If i noe she wld be so scared i wun make those casual remarks) And so i told her she's getting too imaginative n blah blah blah.

I tink i'm v mean 2 luff at pple tis way. If u'r there u'll get e full impact. Really v funny tats y i cant help teasing her initially. When my boss overheard part of S's conversation wif me. He oso keep luffing... But i tink i muz reassure her tat generally spore is still a safe plc, ah pek not so free 2 follow her home everyday lor. They gt better things 2 do. Plus i'm sure she can run faster den ah pek bah.

Beginning 2 like my job a little more. Ya besides e tiring part, i tink tis job do make my time passed v fast. And in a way, do gif me sm sense of satisfaction at times. Hmm i'm tinking of asking for commission frm W. Perhaps tmr.

**************************************************

LOOKING FOR A JOB?

2day W asked me 2 rec him frens who gt sales backgrd. Anyone interested? Muz b able 2 commit almost everyday till xmas over. Anyway, perhaps u alrdy haf a very bad impression of wrking for W coz of e way i've painted him 2 be such a super stingy person. Ya tats rite, i dun intend 2 change my perception of him.

I juz wanna add tat, if u do get e job, u wld probably b wrking elsewhere. Not at e same location as me. U wun get 2 c W everyday. U will haf ur break outside, not in-store. In comparison, wun b tat tiring as well. Overall better deal den mine. Juz sms or call me if u r interested.

OFF TO SHOPPING

Yay 2day is my off day! I've been anticipating tis, coz i'm damn tired frm my wrk n beginning 2 feel too no-life. Hence i nid sm retail therapy. Xmas round e corner and everywhere having little sale, making me in e moods 4 shopping. But i tink e day ended so soooon. Perhaps aft catching 2 shows (Saw 2 & Harry Potter n the Goblet Of Fire), there isnt much time left 2 shop. Bought some new clothes n i had fun trying all e boots at URS. They've gt sm cool n new designs, quite like it but i didnt buy any. The price oso v nice!

****************************************************

EVALUATION OF W (PART 1)

Aft wrking for 3 days, i can conclude tat W is a super duper STINGY boss. Yes he's a miser. His wife not any better.. Always so scared tat their stuff will get stolen, keep asking if me or my colleagues did sell certain items anot, hw come e stock so low etc.

He's such a cunning man! My 2 colleagues hu's wrking wif me r frm Myanmar. They told me gt a few times they wrk till 11pm den not paid for e extra hour!! I was like "HUH???!! How come?" They said they wrote till 10pm(which is e official time 2 be off) n W didnt say anything(i'm sure he is acting blur). Wah i cant stand tis!! Tis may be their 1st job but hw can like tat take advantage of pple. So i keep insisting them 2 write e time they actually left e plc, not e time they "supposed" 2 go home. But they r so hesistent u noe?!! I told them W is cheating them n we SHOULD NOT condone such thing.

Is not tat i want 2 be so calculative.
1stly, their biz is gd but they r paying us not much. (my 2 colleagues getting a lower pay den me but i din tell them my pay) So i tink we deserve e money we haf wrked hard for. Tats not sthg unreasonable rite?

2ndly, W is a very calculative person. My colleague once compensate 4 sthg tat was stolen. Franky, during such festive season, smtimes shoplifting is inevitable. Of coz as a staff, we always keep a close lookout n stay alert at all times. Isnt tat kinda unfair to e staff gotta pay for items tat was stolen out of tat little pay tat we r getting while busy tending 2 the customers. I was rather wrked up when my colleagues told me tis, n they can still say.. "he only make me pay half price". Faintz. Tats not my point, do u all get me?? So since he can be so calculative, i tink is fair n square tat we make sure we r paid for e hrs tat we haf wrked.

3rdly, he always eat into my time. Nv once(ok i've only wrk for 3 days) i'm off at e correct time. Always overtime. Smtimes i still nid 2 hint or rather ask W if we shld close for e day. I tink e most infuriating thing is tat he noes i gt an appointment wif a fren aft wrk yet he still make me stayed back. Ok lah for tis, i can understand tat there's a lot of stocks tat day, it's kinda bad 2 dump everything 2 my collegues n ask them finish e wrk so i stayed n try 2 finish asap. So paiseh make my fren waited for an hr + for me.

Biz was rather gd, n i tink boss is quite happy but he really dunno hw 2 'zhuo ren' one leh... Always not letting me off at e time tat i shld go. I'm damn tired lor.. Been wrking for at 10-11.5 hrs for e past 3 days. And no break given in between. Can only went out 2 buy food n eat in tat shop. But e customers keep streaming in n out, hw 2 haf a peaceful meal?? So paiseh when i gotta tell frens hu actually intend 2 come dwn n acc me 4 break but i told them tat i cant go out too long coz i dun haf break. (Ur thoughtful act is appreciated.)

Tat explains y i feel so tired though i've only wrk for 3 days. Never once during my hoilday job b4, i yearn for off day when i've start on a job for only 3 days. I've seen my schedule. My gdness i tink W tink i'm super woman. I tio all e long n late shifts. N 1 of my collegues say, "i tink W is bias. Y izzit tat u came only a few days but u gt longer hrs den us". Yar rite so when i asked if they wanna exchange wif me, none of them want. Coz they r scared tat they need 2 go home late.

On e other hand, e thankful thing is i can earn more den e amt tat i initially haf expected. Coz my exams finishes late n i start on e job late. Juz tat is rather tiring n i dun haf much time 2 do shopping or my gathering dates wif frens r postponed b/c of my wrk.

Since e 2 Myanmar gals gt e intention 2 quit soon, once i've cfm wif them tat they r really quitting, i'm intending 2 ask W if can transfer rong n ting over n wrk wif me aft xmas coz they said their schedule only till 24th.

PS: Btw, tat day which i need 2 open shop, everything went on smoothly n W didnt get much calls or sms frm me. Haha! In fact e feeling q gd, coz i feel like i'm e boss! I open e shop n i'm e only person managing e store. Luckily no customers request 4 gift wrap b4 my colleague was here. Ooo last nite, gt tis customer bought sthg n requested 2 gift wrap. Den W overheard wat he told me n said, "Oh let me wrap it for him". Whahaha! I tink he's traumatised by my wrapping skills, scared tat i'll scare his customers away. Good!

First Day @ Work

Started wrk 2day at a gift shop at bugis 2day, wrking wif 2 gals hu juz finished their o levels. They were q nice, teach me a lot of stuff on how it function n telling me all e prices etc. So mani customers keep asking me abt e prices 2day, n i'm bad wif remembering things, esp rem numbers, luckily my colleagues were patient wif me. So all was fine till late evening when my boss, W, came.

So mani things cock up 2day, which i tink is easier 2 tell u guys when i cya. W likes 2 scare me by saying "if u do tis wrgly, i'm gg 2 dock ur pay". I hope tat day wun arrive. And he tested me on some pdt knowledge n e prices of those items. Of coz i cant rem all so he said will test me again perhaps tmr.

If u ever recieve presents wrapped by me, u wld noe hw bad my skills in wrapping presents r. Hence usually if possible, is usually smbody else wrapping. (Perhaps u shld feel so honoured 2 receive presents wrap by me personally!) W jian shi my wrapping skills 2day when he came. I'm so paiseh.. In e end, i tink my wrapping skills sucks 2 e core till he gif me a crash course on hw i shld wrap certain items so tat will look nicer. Haha! Actually b4 he came, my colleagues were telling me abt him. On hw he always try 2 save $ n usually listens 2 his wife coz he is scared of her n etc. Haha!

Den when e clock ticks 10 pm, i'm so damn happy! Coz tats e time i'm off frm wrk.. I asked my colleagues if we r closing shop. They said muz wait till boss return coz there's still sm customers inside. (he went 2 e gents i tink) And he took so long.. by e time he returned, is 10.10pm. So when he came back n said lets pack up, i'm so happy. And then, when i tot i can go take my bag n say bye. W said, "can u help me do settlement? U've done tat at CW b4 rite?" I was rather unwilling actually, coz 1stly i noe tat means i still cannot go hm. 2ndly i dun really know. 3rdly i hate doing settlement, esp when e a/c dun balance, is so damn frustrating 2 find which part went wrg. Guess my expressions show it all, in e end he said he'll guide me. Yaya n as i've expected, it doesnt telly. But he is rather happy wif e sales we made 2day, n asked us 2 leave coz is getting late n we r tired. (yar i'm glad he finally knows). So by e time i'm off, is ard 10.40. And u noe wat? When we r leaving, 1 of my colleagues told me tat if wrk OT is not paid unless e boss said he'll b paying?!!!!!!!

And my 2 colleagues both gt emergency matters tmr n so can only come 4 wrk earliest at 2pm, hence i gotta wrk morn shift alone tmr. Meaning i'll b gotta open e stall myself when i haven even get all e prices rite yet, so i'm so damn scared. Pray hard tat nthg goes wrg. I gt a feeling tmr W gonna receive mani calls frm me tmr.

Oh btw, do i look like i'm e eldest in e family? Coz when i was doing settlement, W asked me if i'm e eldest in e family n sm qns related 2 my family backgrd. And when i asked hw come he asked if i'm e eldest n not youngest, he juz smiled n said juz asking.

Juz nw on my way home, my GOOD fren called 2 update me abt star awards n ask abt my new job. Juz when i'm abt 2 tink wow he is so nice 2 call n chat aft knowing tat i'm on way home. Hence i was telling him abt my encounters 2day. Tis GOOD fren juz keep luffing at all e things tat happened 2 me. And he is so happy when he noes i'm wrking at bugis coz i'll b able help him do sthg. Forever like tat. I tell u, u owe me 10 meals for all e things i've done 4 u!! HAHAHA!
