Yay! Off day! I had a blast today although there were some hiccups.
I met Tiffany at Hougang Mall this morning. As usual, she is late. HAHAHA. After that we walked over to Hougang Plaza and booked a room at KBox. Aiya. Wasted. We were 5 minutes late. Then I started to select the songs. All Jay Chou. There wasn't enough space to select all his songs(the max is 30). I realised he is so handsome. That JJ wanna copycat and have a bad-boy, man-man image. Dream on lah. He is obviously those kinda boy-next-door image artiste. Hahahahaha.
By the way, Kbox is holding music/musical instrument courses. Guitar too! I shall join the Absolut Guitar CCA at TP. Haha.
So we sang. It was fun. Wonderful. Yay! We had a fish bento set each(KLunch mah). Not bad lah. I ordered Sprite and Tiffany ordered ice lemon tea. Then I started to burp into the microphone(purposely). It was hilarious. Yeah, gross, you say.
We struggled with 'Shan Hu Hai'. We ALWAYS do. Haha. We always end up stealing each other's lines or trying to catch up with the tempo. We chit-chatted while singing. Then we started to stand up on the couch. It was better that way. Easier to sing out loud. Halfway through my phone rang. It read 'TM Dano'. Oh shucks. The Death Call. I hate to see 'TM Dano' on the caller ID. I get jitters every now and then when the phone rings since Dano times. Ah well. So i answered it. It was Shi Yng.
Shi Yng: Hello. Eh Ka Sia, you come and work now.
I was like, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO flabberghasted.
Me: HUH? I am outside now leh. Rohana never come ah?
SY: Yah. Where are you now? I'm all alone in the shop now. Come quickly.
Me: I'm at Kbox. I can't leave now.
SY: You don't sing for so long lah. (What?! Waste money! You compensate ah?)
Me: Can't. I can't leave now. I have stuff to do.
SY: Didn't we agree on it yesterday?
(She had told me that I could go out if i didn't receive her call after 1pm, cause it would mean Rohana has arrived.)
Me: I don't know. I'm not free now.
SY: Huh...? They say they will ask Suet Ling(her nemesis) over if you don't come leh. Tomorrow i off she will also come.
Me: Then let her come lah. SInce Rohana don't wanna work anymore, sooner or later someone has to come.
SY: Huh...? But I don't want to see her. Aiya I don't know lah. I'm very frustrated.
Me: I don't know...
SY: You come lah... Or I ask Jason(OM) to call you lor.
Me: OK lor.
So I hung up. What a dampener.
Call lah. Scared ah?
Tiffany saying was cursing "Wah lao" while I was cursing "Wah lao, fuck". Argh.
Minutes later, Pei Fang, someone from the HR department at the HQ, called.
PF: Hello Ka Sia ah?
Me: Yah.
PF: Can you go to work now?
Me: No, I can't. I'm outside now and I have stuff to do.
PF: Oh, but now Shi Yng's the only person left at the shop.
Me: Isn't Suet Ling going over to help?
PF: It's not confirmed yet...
PF: Hmm... Until when will you be busy?
Me: Until the night.
PF: OK, never mind.
Tiffany commented that the people at the HQ are more kind and understanding. Yah. Haha.
Yeah, so I'm freed. Good. But there's more to come.
One staff came in and asked if we wanted to extend our session by 1 hour, with one more drink each. No, obviously not.
Around 1.50pm another staff came in(at the climax of our song) to tell us that this would be the last song. Haha. Dream on, baby. Last 5th song, maybe. SO we continued to stay in the room, picking out all the songs we MUST sing today. Tiffany picked out three songs, one from Angela and two others from Fahrenheit(eew, gross).
And the F-I-N-A-L-E. Ba Wo Hui Lai Le, Jay's song. My fave. Someone came in halfway and asked us if we had wanted to extend the session. I guess that's a more polite way of asking us to "GET OUT!" Hahaha. So I finished my song(I still can't rap the second part fluently) and we left. How thick-skinned we are! Whatever. Make full use of the charges ok?
After that we went to walk around in HG Mall. We ate the Gelare ice-cream. I had Cookies & Cream(always my fave!) and Tiff had somewhat a Strawberry... Explosion?
We were chased out of Ice Lemon Tee because of the super-long-cone ice-cream. We went to try in at Watsons and The Bluez. Nobody gave a damn about us at Watsons but we were once again, chased out at the latter. We walked around, finished up the ice-cream, and went into the arcade. I played one round of Time Crisis 4. Wah. Died very quickly today. Haha.
Then we went into The Bluez and ILT again. I got a black satin tie at ILT. There wasn't a price tag, so i just told the shop assistant i want it. She told me I have to tie the knot myself and got a new one for me. The other shop assistant performed a demo and i somehow learnt how to tie it. If not i could just ask the guys at home.
I thought it would be $4.95, or, at the most, $8.95. But guess what. Just when I was wondering what's the price of the tie, I turned around to the counter and saw this: 'Accesory $12.95'. I assumed it was for the previous purchase of some other customer. But, no. The shop assistant told me this was the price. Oh. My. Gosh. So expensive. I'm duped. It's a SCAM! So I had to Nets it. @_@ And I got another sleevelss jacket at $19.95. Love it.
After that my lil' bro called me. Actually he had called me a lot of time before this, pestering me to bring him to LAN shop. But my mom would never ever let him take the bus on his own. Maybe he persuaded her or something, but my mom decided to fetch him here.
So we picked him up and went off to Hougang Plaza again. Along the way we gossiped about one of our ex-classmates. (Tiffany! Look at this! Haha.)
So we went into the LAN shop. The computers are still the old, fat ones. Doesn't matter. So we logged on and played DOTA while Tiff stood beside and watched. There were some laugh-out-loud quotes in the process of the game. WAHAHA.
Ok, here goes. My phone rang AGAIN. Yeah. It's her again.
SY: Hello Ka Sia ah? Tomorrow it's your turn to open shop.
FLABBERGHASTED oNcE mOrE.
Me: Huh? (My fave word)
SY: Tomorrow you open shop. Office say one. (Oh my god. I was so fucking angry when I heard this. So what? I'm so not afraid of the office or whoever. Not even the boss. Why must she do that?) So you have to come and take the keys.
~Silence~
SY: So what time you coming?
Me: Dunno.
SY: You come at night. Cos now there's only one key.(Rohana took the other one along with her escapade.) So you come at 9.30pm lah. Cause I also need the key to lock the shutters.
Me: Orh.
"End Call". Oh my god. What the fuck?
I'm not trying to cast myself in a postive light or whatsoever, but this is so damn fucking me up. Will it kill her if she open the shop tomorrow? Yeah, maybe its her off day or whatsoever. I've also been through phases where I've to open shop consecutively for four or five days, and I was tired, but I did my job. Would it fucking kill her? There was once I helped her to open shop. That day, Friday night i think, she called the outlet and said she forgot to take her key. She was whining "How? How? How?" I sacrificed myself by suggesting that I help her open shop. Fuck. Another time, she was coming to work and called me again(I did opening that day.) She mentioned something about the bus not getting there and that she would be late, and asked if Suet Ling was there. And yes she was. "How? How? How?" Again. SHE suggested i helped to do the clock-in stuff for her. So i did, but it was too late anyway. Suet Ling was there when the clock hit 12.30pm. So I only managed to key in her staff code at 12.34pm. Suet Ling told me not to do it again.
Tiffany and I was swearing there. And I scolded "TOOT" right in front of my younger brother. Not a very good sister, huh?
Halfway through, Tiffany left because her sister needed the house keys or something. I thought she was bored watching us play.
Anyway, my bro and i went off after one round. He won. $3.40 in total. Worth it.
Then we went to walk around, saw the funfair, and bought stuff to eat. I was supposed to takeaway food for my elder bro, but in the end, my mother, father and bro all came to hg mall. Haha. So they ate there and I scooted off to meet Michelle. I was late by 10 mins. I thought my mom was gonna fetch me?! I took bus 27, unsure if it really goes back to Seng Kang. Thank goodness it did.
So I met Michelle and we did our stuff. It was our first time doing... Shh! It's a secret. But it's not what you think it is. Haha. Perhaps Tiff knows. Took a neoprint too, at $6.
Sigh. What a day. In and out. Good and bad. Happy and upset.
Just when I thought Shi Yng and I would be able to maintain this good-colleague relationship forever...
Whatever.
She's always portrayed(or she always portrays herself) as the weak and vulnerable one.
Argh. Fucked up.
I don't beat about the bush. Let's settle this straight.
I think she's gonna hate me forever.
Gonna get my temporary This Fashion card back from her. Anyway it doesn't matter if i don't get it. I will get the real one in a month's time.
I think there's gonna be a cold, chilly war at the shop.
Yeah, Michelle's right. Nobody's good in this world.
I'm not a fool to be bullied around, okay?
Do you think that the polite, obedient girl that first stepped into this shop was the real me?
Do you think I'm scared of the law? You ain't gonna be able to guess what i did today.
Do you think i would be threatened and supressed by empty threats?
In the end I didn't go to get the keys. She didn't call me anyway. I think she expected it. I might have gone to pick up the keys if she hadn't spoke in such a mean way.
But isn't it supposed to be her off day tomorrow?
Whatever.
I've long wanted to get out of this sucking job. The bosses are so stingy; the staff are so ungrateful. That's why no one stays at Dano for long. That's why most of the staff are Malaysians. Scam.
Please just be glad that I haven't gone on MC the way Rohana does it.
Originally I had already planned to escape from work everyday till the contract ends. I'm always enacting the scenario in my head:
(I hope that HQ call me. This will be what I want to say:)
HQ: Why didn't you go for work yesterday?
Me: Why? You want to sack me ah? SACK LAH, you fucker!
HQ: What? Ok, I shall fire you this moment!"
Me: Great! Thank you!
Yeah, I've had it all rehearsed in my head. Got some inspiration from Rohana. Hees.
Take my pay for this month or whatever. Just get me out of this job.
My elder brother was asking me yesterday what i would do if i get sued in court for not going to work. I guess the boss won't spend his money on a tiny mini worker.
Anyway, none of these is going to happen.
I'm just gonna keep holding on till my contract ends. That's when i shall sever all ties with Dano and its staff.
I'm not gonna enter the shop again once I leave.
Bye fuckers!
Bye suckers!
Bye assholes!
What a twist. Twist of fate. Love it.
