went to my junior's house on sat... was surprised to find out tt her room is blue instead of pink. me n xinhui had to look at e map b4 i can locate her house.. din even dare to press the doorbell cos it looks like an unoccupied house, cos compared to the house on e 2nd storey, her doorstep looks kinda empty. the visit was quite nice.. shall go visit her next yr if possible. looking forward to end of feb.. cos results r coming out soon. still trying to find another job... haiz. how can i ever be experienced if the companies only want to employ experienced pple?
fren: i get back to you again.. i need to go tink me: ok fren: tink abt whether i'm dreaming me: dreaming of wat fren: having a nightmare.. u totally sound like a diff person had a really interesting conversation with a fren yest night. guess he was shocked at how nasty i can be. he even called 2 other frens this morning to tell them abt our conversation. i quarrelled with him n told him how i felt abt the pwc job n i started scolding him for some other stuff. told him i was jealous cos i din get into pwc. told him abt geraldine's comment. tml gonna see him for SAT. will try my best to siam him. but gonna go fren's house with him in the afternoon. told xinhui to find me after SAT so tt i wun need to talk to him. i'm like a dormant volcano.... got occasional minor eruptions, but when i really get angry, i can be so nasty -evil laughter- tml is SAT but i feel so unprepared. din had time to prepare n wasn't in the mood to study. gonna waste my $80. haiz. juz realised my cousin got 1540 for SAT. haiz he's such a genius.
2nd last day at work. totally boring. today got 5 pple with afternoon shift. i had time to go walk ard the talking hall n reserve some items. i was advised not to buy clothes during work cos need to get some declaration form. so tml is my off day n i shall go grab whatever i need. gonna get the 10% discount card from a senior staff first. yest a colleague met with an accident. he got bumped by a car while trying to jay walk from lucky plaza to taka. his shirt was a bit torn but he looked perfectly fine. guessed cos he is quite big size n he landed on his butt. he told us he hit the windscreen n 'flew' off. haha... had to go x ray n wun be coming to work for 2 days. last day of work on tues. gonna miss the pple. met 3 band pple.. shall go talk to them tml abt band.. i'm sorta quite old compared to them cos abt 7 of them r waiting for O levels. i'm the among 2 of the pple waiting for A levels. tml gonna go look for work with xinhui n then go visit my juniors in band. miss school n band so much.
work sux. had a terrible day at work. 1. cut my finger in less than 10min from start of work. 2. had to do a return n in the end screwed up cos i din noe how to do it. asked a colleague to help n she made things worse. even the senior staff din noe what to do. went up to 4th floor to find manager to get her signature, then went down again. had to go up again when the return was screwed up, but luckily my colleague decided to help me by going up herself. 3. the other cashier, Alvin had attitude prob n decided to slack n i had to do most of the work. kept toking cock to promoters. wish he can juz shut his big mouth. 4. stupid hogan kept disturbing me. pressed the 'void' button on purpose n played with the keyboard. i hate using the void button. 5. alvin closed his counter first. meaning i will have to do closing at 10+pm, until the last customer leaves ( quoted from my supervisor ). 6. credit card machine decided to break down n my colleague pressed smthing wrongly. had to do a return AGAIN n it was too difficult for me to handle. 7. taka closes at 10pm. at 10.15pm, a china customer was still at my counter with 11 items n 1 w/o price tag. i told him to come back another day but he had a flight to catch in 12hrs. finally settled his case at 10.25pm. damn supervisor decided to be mr nice guy n taught them how to operate the lock. had to wait for him to finish teaching them b4 i can close my counter. 8. colleague told me my attitude was wrong cos i told the customer to come back another day. the customer has the right to pay anytime. ok i'm juz a dumb cashier serving the customer. the customer is always right. 9. realised my finger was bleeding. most prob knocked into smthing. 10. finished work at 11pm when it's supposed to be 10.15pm. i mean wat the @#%^. i'm not paid for any OT. 11. got bad comments from geraldine today when i went up with colleague to find her. told her i failed the PWC interview n tianwen passed. tt's y i'm still at taka. then she said " oh i know y u failed. cos u always ask insensible q, unlike tianwen. " felt quite insulted at tt time. asked her what is insensible q. she din bother to give me a satisfactory ans. guess i'm too practical. kept asking abt pay n stuff during the interview. ok i noe i'm not suited for work. i was made to study n study. i hate my working life. i hope sch will start soon. colleague always say i'm blur. in sch, i guess no one ever told me tt b4. the day juz sux like hell. hate to be afternoon cashier. tml is my last day as cashier. phew. sat is killer day. bet the queue will nvr end.
had a happy day today.. no need lose any $. both times also balanced -smilez- lame joke of the day said by a promoter : since we r at e talking hall, our job is to talk -_-"'' today got a pair of foreign customers who must be super rich.. bought 39 items which costed $635+. luckily my colleague was there to scan the items for me so i only need to settle the payment. the promoters were all standing aside watching free show. the visa n mastercard service was down today.. had to issue a receipt manually. 1st time i see pple do it.. so fun. luckily after my lunch break, most things were settled nicely. tml is my off day. hope everything will be gd.
tkd grading was quite disappointing. seems like i have been deproving since the white belt test. din get a chance to warm up or practise yest b4 the actual test.... feels like i'm losing interest in tkd cos i feel tt i'm not gd enough to excel in it. i'm only an average student n i'm too old for it. it will be harder for me to master some things n pple have higher expectations of me cos i'm older. this kinda sux at times. i hate it when my sir insults me. made me feel like giving up. i wun have much time for tkd now tt i have started work n i'm sure after i start sch, it will be worse. lost $8 today.. dunno y i was so blur. mistaken a $2 note for a $10 so in the end i was short of $8, so i decided to sacrifice my own $ to make up for it. was quite sad after i parted with my own money.. had to eat canteen food cos of tt. i cldn't be bothered to go locker n take $. saw yinjie today at b2.. at the bird's nest section. had a hard time locating her cos she din pick up he hp. maybe next time can have lunch with her. went for a job registration today in the morning. hope i can try admin work. not in a very gd mood now.. the whole day sux.
had a bad start today. arrived at bus stop near taka at 920 n was strolling to work when i suddenly realised i din bring my shoes! had to rush home n in the end got there at 10.10 so today had to work till 7.10pm. last time is locker keys, now shoes, what's next? was working at talking hall(B1) today... men's wear. the shorts r really cheap but too bad it's only for guys. wonder if i'll have the chance to work in other dept the next time. maybe soon i'll get to noe most of the taka staff. at least can have more pple to talk to. saw an ex-colleague from toys... she was quite shocked to see me cos afterall i'm juz a temp staff. realise tt in the working world, i really can't trust any1 cos they r all competing for the same job as me. some ex-colleague at taka sq told me she will inform me if she go apply for any fair. then today i found out tt she is at the food fair but yet she din ask me along to apply. saw a lot of ex taka sq pple at talking hall. guess i'll have to depend on myself to find a job. i can only depend on myself in this competitive world. tt's the fact which struck me today.
long time no blog. had a great time in sch today. found out tt most frens are doing waitressing job. how fun.. shall try whenever possible. it was nice singing those songs n chatting with classmates. adel's parents sent me home.. so touched when her dad offered to sent me home instead of dropping me at novena. geraldine (taka staff) called today. it's always nice to hear her voice cos it means i'm employed again. been slacking ard for 3 days since i quitted tt data entry job. worked only for a day.. hehe.. $40. not tt worthwhile considering the headaches tt i gt while doing it. tml gonna report at 940.. morning shift. got tkd grading on sunday.. 3 more months n i'll be a green belt (assuming i pass sunday's test n the next test).
last day at work... most prob will go apply to work for more fair in future.. 6 per hr is gd money. hope tml can find some job. going for interview tml.. to be a surveryor at national lib... till 16 jan. not very interested in it but it's gd money anyway. better to work n earn $, than to stay home or go out n spend $.
short of $11.10 today.. haiz wat a tough day. smthing went wrong... no morning shift pple today. me afternoon, then asked ard n realised there r 4 afternoon shift cashers ard n no senior staff looking after us! luckily i was able to go for dinner by 5.25pm. was so scared when i short of $21.10 today. 1st time i short so much $.. felt like i was in sch again... doing a really tough paper. cos i was panicking n counting the $ again n again. the next cashier took over n he 'found' $10. left taka at 10.40pm tonight.. was so late tt no one else was in the locker area... even the guard thot i was a promoter. juz realised tt managers normally let the female cashier do balancing first so tt we can go home first. cos the guys dun need to change clothes n stuff. but tonight i had to wait for another male cashier to take me up to e 3rd floor to deopsit today's earning. i wonder how much taka earns each day.. cos from my counter alone.. i earned abt $5000+ in 9hrs. tml me morning shift.. cos i changed with someone -phew- no need to leave late again.. my 2nd last day at taka. called up a comp today to ask whether i got the job after interview on 30th dec. he said i was shortlisted ( cos i live near the comp ) but he had yet to make a decision. then he told me to call him back ard 5-6 n i called at 6 but no one picked up e phone. i guess it means i'm not selected. haiz jobs r so hard to find. maybe i'm not fated to do office work. shall find some waitressing job at cafe or watever. tkd grading coming soon n SAT too. gonna spend time on these 2 events. looking forward to campfire on 9 jan.
