Walked around TM cause i was early for work. I need to buy pants for orientation. Black, 3/4, baggy pants. So i went to ask around at the interchange shops. I got one pair from CK. Can't try, though. Bought Elle magazine cause i like the cover-RED!
1pm. Went for work.
I went to the bank. Last time. YAY! It was raining. Never mind. I just walked through the drizzle. Long queue again. Wait, wait, wait. They didn't have coins anymore, so i changed the fifty dollar note to five dollar notes.
I was waiting for the traffic light at the road leading back to Century Square. The green man appeared, and everyone moved. I could see everyone on the opposite crossing the road except for a middle-aged woman. She had short hair and looked like your typical auntie. She looked flustered. Apparently i was the first to reach the other side of the road. The woman suddenly 'attacked' me.
Woman: Excuse me. (She was bringing her arms around me but not touching me yet.)
Me: Yes? (Ok. Road directions, yeah?)
Woman: Canyoulendmetendollarsineeditformyfatherihavenomoneycanyouhelpme
No typo error. She was babbling strings of sentences and this is what i barely heard.
Me(shocked): Sorry. (And i made to leave.)
Then she started grabbing my arms and pleading me. I was so oh my god. I had to push my way past her. I quickly walked away. Looking back, i saw her stopping other people. Oh my god. I didn't know why this happened. There are three possibilities:
1. She's really in need for money.
2. She's a con.
3. She's bonkers.
I don't think she's the last two options. But I couldn't help her even if i wanted. I had no cash.
So i went back to the shop.
Nothing interesting happened. We chatted about ghosts.
Went for break. Walked in circles at Isetan. I love GOLD.
Now i know they don't deduct salary for being late, for unconfirmed staff. Phew.
Ran errands for Foon. Bought her sausages from Cold Storage. I got a McFlurry for myself. So i sat there, shook my leg, and ate.
Shi Yng went home early. We closed shop at 10pm.
Time flies when you aren't enjoying yourself.

One Day
Sometimes in life
We just cross paths.
Maybe we brushed across
Each other on the road
And forgot about it.
Maybe we were in the same class
But didn't cared a bit.
We promised to stay in contact
But we failed.
We tried really hard
But there's just too much.
And time soon passes.
One day
You'll forget me
One day
I'll not remember who you are.
You're thrown
To the back of my head.
I just told myself to wait.
I said
I'll call you some other day.
One day
We might meet again
And let the memories return
One day
We will meet again.
We just cross paths.
Maybe we brushed across
Each other on the road
And forgot about it.
Maybe we were in the same class
But didn't cared a bit.
We promised to stay in contact
But we failed.
We tried really hard
But there's just too much.
And time soon passes.
One day
You'll forget me
One day
I'll not remember who you are.
You're thrown
To the back of my head.
I just told myself to wait.
I said
I'll call you some other day.
One day
We might meet again
And let the memories return
One day
We will meet again.
Welcoming Freedom
Dropped in my cheque at the bank this morning. Updated my passbook and got a SHOCK. Yeah. I'm not joking.
Foon was there. SY was coming in at 4pm. So i just sat there and stared into space.
2pm, i went for lunch. Went shopping at Isetan and had my meal at the food court.
When i returned to the shop, the two salesgirls from Fashion Lab were there. One of them went to try out the new arrivals. Then when she came out she was pointing at me and saying "It's her, it's her!" Foon then explained to me that they saw me staring at the designer yesterday. I was just taking a look when the designer was changing the clothes on the mannequins. He then stared at me, I stared back, then another salesgirl stared at me, I smiled, and walked away. So the real story came. But i'm too lazy to write it out word by word. Haha. Ask me lah.
Shi Yng arrived for work. She went out with Siew Foon for a while.
Sales is getting up after two days of poor sales. Yesterday's was pulled up by one customer who spent $140++ and a student who had had six pieces of white blouses transferred over here. Today's wasn't bad either.
Then some professional guy came in. He went to take a look at the 'cash register' inside the storeroom. Originally we had to key in the sales every night, but it went bonkers and we didn't use it anymore. Later i learnt that the machine was used to send sales to CapitaLand, and was just installed somewhere near CNY. I thought it was already there long ago and was some sorta old cash register the staff once used. Big boss is stingy. He bought the cheapest device. HAHAHA. Shi Yng had to copy out the Nett Sales from February cause we hadn't used the machine for quite a while.
Bought magazines. It's just an excuse to sneak off from work.
Then around 7pm i went out for a walk.(haha) Bought a coffee bun from Q Bread. Very hungry lah. Checked out the anklets at SINMA. Went back again.
I fell asleep on the table. SY woke me up cause she wanted to go to the toilet. I sorta drifted back to sleep again but appeared awake just in time cause one customer wanted to try on a dress.
Went to buy food again. Another coffee bun, but from Breadtalk. Not as tasty as the previous one, though.
Then one damn customer dragged and dragged, such that we only left the shop at 9.50pm. But at least she bought $180++ worth of stuff. And she changed into the new clothes right away. HUH? I mean, It's so late. Where was she going? Commit suicide? Mind you, she was wearing red.
Damn i can't even go home early for one last time. =0
YAY! HOME!
Hurray!
Count it yourself.

Vexed
11 April 2007
Back to work. Shi Yng's day off.
Siew Foon told me that Pooi Fong asked for me this morning. Foon said that it must be to tell me that i won't get my pay cheque until i quit. No way. I NEED CASH!
I bought an anklet to combine with Siew Foon's stuff to make it 3 for $10. It's a shiny Celtic cross. Yeah, i just love crosses.
Later Pooi Fong called back again. She asked me when was my off day. 14 April. Yeah. Just to confirm it. She then asked me to check the contractor's contact number on the shutters. I thought i saw a sticker somewhere there. So i pulled down the shutters without putting the metal first. No number, no nothing. The shutter couldn't go up. In the end we pushed it up.
Uncle driver came today with more new goods. They've been coming since this Monday. They are going to remove everything i guess.
Dammit. I was sitting on the stool when i saw the cross of anklet on the floor. It had came off from the anklet. I went back to the stall and asked the person about it. She said there's nothing she could do. Oh yes there is. You can exchange it for a new one. No i didn't say that. Hahaha. Siew Foon tried to mend it with Superglue. But the head of the cross turned black instead. So i kept it away. Damn i had worn it for barely a few hours!
I bought something from Dano again. C'mon, give me a reward!
Nothing interesting happened thereafter.
Closed shop. Foon was putting in the metal at the front, then she started yelling,"Die ah! Today no need to go home!" So i realised that the metal couldn't be put inside the slot. Must be because i tweaked with the shutters just now. So we fumbled about, with the help of the iron hooked rod. Luckily we suceeded. Phew.
Oh yes. I received a package from TP Design School about the orientation programme. There was a hand-written note from a group leader too. She was here to hand-deliver the letter, but no one answered the door. Luckily no one answered the door. There's a trip to Sentosa. And i heard from my friend that someone told her it we would be coming back only at 3am. Ok whatever. And the kit list says that "Shades/Sungalasses" are COMPULSORY. Huh? What was that?
Oh my god i freak out when i think about orientation. There's a two day camp. Dammit.

Undeniable Fun
10 April 2007
Oh my god. We had a blast today.
So obviously it's my off day. I had made plans with Mich to thoroughly enjoy ourselves today.
We met up at CP at 11am. Then we took the train to Hougang station. Went to have Pepper Lunch. Eeew. I hate corn. Hahaha. The auntie thought it was the staff's fault. But it was me who didn't say i didn't want the corn. So i 'cooked' my chicken while mich 'cooked' her salmon.
We went to walk around to while away the time. Bought some stuff at The Bluez. Now i'm really stocking up for poly. (Well... I've been stocking up for poly for the past few months.) We were on the first floor when we were stopped by an auntie. She recommended us this jelly-like gel. It removes dead skin. I've heard it before on TV. So we got a small bottle each.
Next I bought a small bottle of shampoo and a stay-on conditioner from GLO. The salesperson said if i don't maintain my hair now, split ends will soon appear, and i won't be able to keep my hair long. Damn. No way. So i got the stuff. So pro, huh?
Somehow we made our way to the line of shops outside. Hougang Central. Went to made enquiries at various beauty salons. Went back to HG Mall again and asked somemore. Went back to central again, went to the bank, and continued in our quest of disturbing people.
Finally we made our way to Hougang Plaza. Went up the lift to the third floor with a dangerous-looking guy. Shades, cap and baggy, filthy-looking clothes. He looked like he was gonna flip out a knife anytime to threaten us. Sat at the so-called reception area of KBox. Around 1.57pm, we checked in for K Happy Hour. HAHA. So cheapskate.
Oh my god. It was so fun. I did no serious singing this time. It was just plain, hysterical screaming. HAHAHAHA. Lots of Jay Chou. (Oh my god. He's getting more handsome and gorgeous video after video.) Hahaha. We failed to do something thrilling. S-H-I-T. Mich knows. Hahaha. Some more crappy songs that are oh-so-hot right now. By the way, i realised i've really missed out a lot of popular songs that have been coming out recently. Too busy working. =)
I thought a lot of people looked in to our room when they passed by. Heeheehee.
Thereafter(we left at 7.04pm and nobody noticed) we made our way back to CP. Met up with Amanda. Then we walked to the Euro Funfair. I figured entry tickets had to be purchased before entry judging from the ticket counters at the entrance, but they were now empty. Guess business isn't too good. So we entered. Tsk-tsk. There were barely a few souls around.
So we went away, with the notion that there would be greater attendance at a later time. Went to bought stuff at Cold Storage and chilled out at the stairs. Yah lah, yah lah. We smoked. One packet only. =>
Ok. Returned to the funfair again. More people streaming in. Changed pieces of notes into pieces of paper. 1 token=$2.50. The first ride we took was the Euro Wheel. Start with the relaxing ones first, yeah? We were like, yelling and screaming when we reached the top. I was like, completely nuts. HAHAHA. Thereafter we toned down. Cause it was like the fifth or sixth time! Crazy uncle. Sometimes we were suspended in the topmost part cause people wanted to 'board' the wheel. We saw pugilists practising martial arts on the rooftop of the Sengkang CC. Then we went turning and turning and turning until the uncle finally came to his senses. Nevermind. It's worth the money this way. Went out for Vomitting Session One.
Then we saw a lot of people on the Topgun ride. Dammit we missed it. So we went to purchase the 'coins' for the bumper cars. But we saw people going up the Topgun ride again and we made a dash for it. I sat alone in the first row while them both sat behind me. I Am The DAREDEVIL. Hahaha. We were, like, screaming profanities while we went upside down. FYI it's like Cadbury. Shorter version, though.
Vomitting Session Two.
Then we went for bumper car. Yay! I enjoyed myself crashing my car into others'. I would purposely go one big round and strike the others hard. Hahaha.
Went to take a ride on this machine that moves up, down, left and right haphazardly(forgot the name). There were only three of us on the whole long row of seats. Again we were screaming our heads off. We were jolted here and there for a few rounds. Then we decided to drop our shoes. I can't help but praise myself for being a good aimer. My shoes would be right at my feet when the ride stopped. One of Mich's sandals was missing. We can't see it from where we were.
Mich felt like puking and we shouted to the control-ler to stop. Guess he didn't hear it. After a few more times we were let off. So one of the sandals was under the seats. HAHAHA.
Ok. You guessed it. Vomitting Session Number Three.
Didn't play Vortex cause Amanda said it's the same as Topgun. So we proceeded to the carnival games. Mich and I won a mini giraffe each while Amanda got a Pooh mini file. Yay.
Vomitting Session Four. Five, Six... I forgot the number of times we headed outside.
We had supper at McD.
I had a headache. I guess it was because of the yelling, not the rides. Wahaha.
Back home. Hurray.
I went to sleep without bathing. Yucks.

Two In One
8 April 2007
Shi Yng made sandwiches for us. Said cause i was leaving. Hahaha. Egg with ham. There was a small scar near her neck cause the oil spilled. Oops.
Tasted it later. There was one where one small piece was missing from the bread but i took it anyway. Then Shi Yng told me she bit it cause she wanted that piece. Some extra seasoning i guess.
During break i went to Baleno to get some stuff again. Saw some potential caps from Xcraft. Didn't get any.
I tried to 'screw' a nail into an eraser today. Shi Yng told me she bought it. Oops. But i had got it in. Pulled it out agian, and screwed it back in. I realised the eraser was broken. HAHAHA.
I treated Shi Yng to OCK crab meat today.
We went to Choo-B after work. Siew Foon wanted to buy an anklet. 3 for $10. I didn't see anything i like, so we dropped off the idea.
9 April 2007
It was raining when i stepped outside. So i quickly ran to the bus stop and waited for the bus.
It was raining heavily when i reached my stop. And guess what. I dropped the CD player when i alighted. Damn it dropped directly into a HUGE puddle of water. What the... I really didn't want to get a scolding from my brother.
I took the overhead bridge to the opposite side of the road. There is a linkway to the MRT station. But it didn't serve much. Rain splashed at all who passed through it. I got pretty wet. The ground was soaked with water. Rainwater gushed into my shoes. The linkway was crowded with people. Jammed. So, for fear of being late, i stepped away from the comfort of the linkway and ran straight across to the MRT station. Damn i was thoroughly soaked.
Reached the shop in time. I was dripping. Ok. My hair was. My socks were completely wet. My pants were wet. So i took my socks and shoes off. My pants were making watery lines on the floor. Tested the CD player. It's fine. Phew. The water didn't even get inside.
Siew Foon was off today. But Shi Yng said she had came earlier today.
Then she came again. Bought a necklace from Isetan. Shi Yng wants it too. So i told her she wants stuff other people have. Like, yesterday, SF bought a top, and she wanted it too.
During break time, i went to the first floor and realised that there was a FILA sale. So i went in between the mobbing aunties and got a shoe bag, sling bag and shorts(i got it thereafter). And i was there lugging a big pastic bag-ful of Fila stuff around with me. Didn't want to go back to the shop. Went to Baleno to change some sizes. Had fish porridge at Eastlink. Shopped around the bus interchange area. Tried on some stuff but didn't buy anything.
Went back, exceeding my 45-mins break time. I always do that. I'M LEAVIING!
Spent the day writing out song lyrics.
Snooped to Choo-B. Saw something i like which i didn't took an interest to yesterday.
OH MY GOD! I can't believe it! Five days. Oh yeah. YAY!
The long-awaited day. I wonder how i'll feel on that day.

Sear
Yesterday, there was a weird customer. I had seen her before, and i remembered she was a difficult customer. And she was. She kept saying,"This one fifty percent ah? But still twenty something leh" and asked if there were new pieces for everything she tried. In the end she bought $70++. What the... *TOOT*!
Reported for work at 11.30am today.
Customer traffic was terribly little, considering it was a Saturday. I guess everyone had flocked to the great sale at Isetan. Four days, starting from yesterday. Even i went there too to check out stuff. Hahaha.
I discovered there were a lot of nice caps at Xcraft yeaterday. Gonna make a trip there sometime.
Then Shi Yng served this customer, who tried a lot, and got a lot of new pieces to try. She wanted to buy two pieces, but in the end she only bought a piece of knitwear(dresses and office wear are more profitable =>). Somehow she found a problem with the blouse. ~_~"
Break time. Bought something at Baleno. (Baleno and Hang Ten were fighting next to each other.) Then i went to NTUC to buy mineral water for Siew Foon. Cheapest, plus offer. Sixty-five cents. Hahaha. Got a copy of I-weekly.
Went back and read magazines. As i flipped the pages the smoking ad appeared again. Ooh... Hahaha. Shi Yng was damn disapproving of the picture.
Droned through the day.
List of things i did in the shop to kill time:
1. Meow-ed.
2. Laid down on the table. (my head only)
3. Tried to touch my outstretched hand with my toes. Gymnastics. Haha. I did it! YAY!
4. Scaring Shi Yng with the female 'ghost', as she calls it.
5. Ka jiao-ing customers' babies.
Siew Foon called yesterday night(she left early) to tell us that she saw handsome guys on her way home. They were some sort of a band. Nobody bothered to go. So today, we decided to go to the flea market, and, if possible, check out that guy SF was talking about. (I had no idea where a flea market could be set up in Tampines.) And SF wanted to get earrings.
Ok. So Shi Yng knocked off at 9.30pm today. I thought she would go home with her boyfriend, but she came back at 10pm later. So the four of us made our way to the flea market. So it was just opposite TM, along a stretch of pathway just below the aerial train tracks. There wasn't any band performance when we reached. Most of the stalls were owned by Malays.We walked along, and i got a pair of rings(they were supposed to be couple rings, HAHA, but i got both for myself). Ok so now i have three rings on my fingers. Shi Yng and her boyfriend got a pair, and a somewhat keychain with squishy-mushy stuff inside a layer of plastic. SF payed for me cause i didn' have cash left.
It was just a short stretch. So i said bye and made my way back to TM. Just when i was crossing the road, I saw a familiar face. She's pint-sized, skinny, tiny. SUET LING. Damn she really had her hair done. I saw her. It was obviously her. I could recognise her. But it seemed like she didn't see me at all. It must be she's too distracted to notice me, or she's just pretending she didn't see me to save all the trouble. Whatever. But i think it's the latter. I mean, it's so obvious. I'm wearing the Dano uniform and it's not like a dark alley or something. I managed to steal a glance back and see what has become of her hair. Ok. It's so dolly. Big hair for a small person. Hahaha.
I realised people were still queuing up at Sweetalk. So i went to join in the queue. I was real thirsty. Then the China girl came out and made an 'announcement'. She told a guy behind me(perhaps cause i'm a regular customer) to stop queuing, because they were closing soon, at 10.40pm. She told everyone that we could continue to queue if we thought we would reach the front by 10.40pm, but any orders after 10.40pm would be rejected and it won't be their fault. Next moment, I turned around and saw everone gone except that blue shirt guy. Reached the front, but somehow the others went to wash up, and the China girl took the guy's order first. She told him that he was very stubborn That guy just replied,"It's not 10.40pm yet mah" Hahaha. Ordered. Hurray! I'm the last customer of the day for 'em! YIPPEE! That's an honour.
Waited for the bus. It came, but not after i finished my drink. There weres till some pearls left. So i took it up the bus. C-R-A-M-M-E-D. I knew it, judging by the number of people at the bus stop. One woman had to stand on the steps. Shifted, crammed, squeezed. Alighted at my stop. Gotta buy Ramly burger for my brother. And i ordered. Then I was like, "Oh shit!" i double-checked, and there sure was nothing in my wallet except for a few coins. So i hurriedly told the vendor,"Sorry aunite, I don't want it anymore" Shudder. I called my brother and he volunteered to throw down the money. Bullshit.
Oh. And I saw the smoking ad again. There was a poster of it pasted on the noticeboard of the lift lobby of my block.
In the end my papa and mama takeaway 豆浆油条 for us. Yummy.
Still have yet to check out the entry fare for the Euro funfair as i'd promised Shi Yng to.
Laaalaaalaaalaaa... One full week. Just.
Reported for work at 11.30am today.
Customer traffic was terribly little, considering it was a Saturday. I guess everyone had flocked to the great sale at Isetan. Four days, starting from yesterday. Even i went there too to check out stuff. Hahaha.
I discovered there were a lot of nice caps at Xcraft yeaterday. Gonna make a trip there sometime.
Then Shi Yng served this customer, who tried a lot, and got a lot of new pieces to try. She wanted to buy two pieces, but in the end she only bought a piece of knitwear(dresses and office wear are more profitable =>). Somehow she found a problem with the blouse. ~_~"
Break time. Bought something at Baleno. (Baleno and Hang Ten were fighting next to each other.) Then i went to NTUC to buy mineral water for Siew Foon. Cheapest, plus offer. Sixty-five cents. Hahaha. Got a copy of I-weekly.

Do you think?
Do you think
That i think
Too much?
So much
That nobody can take it.
It's in the middle
The night.
I'm not sleeping
Not so soon.
I want to
Keep on thinking.
Cause i've nothing else
Got nothing else to do.
Do you think
I think especially
A lot
At night?

I think I do.
And so do you.
Many
I can't comprehend
This whole lot.
Loads of stufff.
What is enough
In this vast world
This civilisation?
How many emotions
Do we have?
How many faces
Can we make?
Why is it
That there are so many
Many beautiful places
On this planet?
That i wonder
If i could
See them all.
Is there life on Mars?
Could i take a look
In a spaceship
Or something
With you?
Is there another of me
Out there?
Somewhere?
There could be
Someone similar.
But not exactly
The same.
What is your
True self?
The purpose
Of life?
Think about it.
Tell me.
Cause i don't know why.

Someone
Who's the worst
In this world?
You always say
There's someone
Worse than you.
I need to know.
The one
Down with disease
Or the one
Stricken ill.
You're pitiful.
But there's always
Someone more.
Someone from a
Third world country.
Someone who has
Nothing.
There's a someone
Out there.
Who needs it more
Than i or you.

Forgetting
Everything changes.
Things that i used to do
Used to say.
I forgot how to.
Routines that once
Ruled my life.
I've forgotten
All gone away.
Changed.
Everything.
No longer the same.
Nothing.
But somehow.
I remember those.
Good old days.
All the good stuff.
Nothing about exams.
That's enough.
And there's
More to come.
Cause I'm
Still growing
On and on.

Stuff I Do
It feels like
I'm walking down
Memory lane.
Time doesn't wait
For you.
It flies.
It zooms past.
No allowance.
I wasted
A lot of time
Two years
Is it even enough?
Images come and go.
I'm visiting my teacher
During Chinese New Year.
I'm at my friend's house
Doing project work.
I'm feeding the stray cats
With the leftover dinner.
I'm moving house
I'm rearing mouse.
This song.
Played on the car.
Papa says it keeps him awake.
Mama says it's a
Crazy song.
But all these
Seems so yesterday.
I heard it
Just yesterday.
I'm sleeping in class.
Primary School
Past
To Secondary school
Playing truant
Stuff i do.
Getting results
To where i am now.
They're all
So vivid.
So real.
I can't wash them away.
I can't.
I won't.

Say It Out
Sometimes
We aren't exactly
Truthful to each other.
Cause
There are always
Some barriers
Restrictions
Which makes it hard
To say it out.
So i hope
That someday
One day
We would be
True to you and me
The truth
No longer hidden.
Stuff
We would mention.
Which we didn't dared to.
One day.
It's so much better
That way.

Learning
I think
I really have to learn to
Let go.
Cause i
I make someone
Out to be a bad person
When he's not.
It's all in my thoughts.
And it's
Not his fault.
Don't think so much
So deeply.
And maybe
I'll do better.
I'll not
Be so intense.
Be so critical.
And try to let go.
Maybe then
We'll be able
To communicate
In a mutual way
Yes.
We may.

Resignation
Bought a pedicure file before work. I found out that the pumice stone isn't enough to get rid of the accumulated layers of hard skin. So i decided to get a more powerful weapon to administer the treatment. Haha. (And yeah, i'm scraping my feet right now.)
Shi Yng told me that she heard from the others that the big boss(and ladyboss) isn't so stingy. Just that someone is doing something behind his/their back.
I went for lunch at 3.45pm. Just at the traffic light, where there are boards to cover up the constuction site, there was quite a commotion. There was a rat near one of the boards. Actually it was a soft toy. Hahaha. Aunties and students alike thought it was real. Anyway i snapped a photo and continued on my way.
I was walking past the MRT station, at SK Jewellery, when an Indian woman approached me. They were doing a survey on sportswear. So, being kind and always willing to help, I went for it. She said it would take ten minutes, and asked me if i was in a rush, cause she was scared i would run away halfway through. The questions were about the same, asking preferences over sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Converse, Ascis, Reebok etc. My choices were mostly Adidas, Nike, Converse or New Balance. The questions were repetitive. The person got tired too. So she just tikam-ed some of the questions. I got to know that they were for a survey company. She told me to tell her supersvisor/boss that i'm 20 years old should he/she comes. Haha. Blah, blah, blah. Finally finished it. Got a small gift which is some kinda weird contraption. I was the fourth on her list. She said not to write down my IC cause that would reveal my age. Aiyo.
Then i made my way to Eastlink, not before hearing someone call out my name. I was feeling warm and blur then, so i didn't respond. But i found the voice familiar. So i turned around. Rohana. Didn't expect that she had the guts to come back. I wasn't mean to her. In fact i as quite friendly. Maybe it's because i partly instigated her not to work at Dano anymore. Ha. She handed me a plastic bag, saying the shop keys and her uniform are inside. She asked me to pass the (washed, she claimed)uniform, together with the one in the shop, to Jason. So i took the opportunity to find out what she've been up too.
Me: So you are on the three-thousand job now?
R: No lah, factory.
Me: Oh. Then you don't want to take your things at the shop?
R: No lah. Nothing what.
Me: Your biscuits lah. (I didn't tell her she still had her shoes and pants at Dano cause we had threw her shoes away during that day we did spring-cleaning)
I could see her twin sister smiling. (As usual she was pusing the pram.)
R: You eat lah. I don't want...
Me: Ok. Bye.
R: Bye.
Then i went to have fish porridge. Rushed. Not enough time. Bought bubble tea for Siew Foon and went back to Dano.
(The rat was no longer there, I think.)
Threw away Rohana's pants. And biscuits. Her clothes were starting to smell. Stuffed the other piece of uniform into the plastic bag. Shall have it sent back to the office.
Shi Yng left at 4.30pm today.
Siew Foon said office called to tell us that new stock would be coming in tomorrow.
Meanwhile, seeing that they were few customers, I went to 'repair' my pants. There was a lil whole near the zip. So i found a pair of black pants(thank goodness Dano sells office wear) and changed out of mine. Began to sew up the gap. Ok done. Went to change into it, but realise i can't get the zip up. So i had to change back to Dano's again. Shit. I've got a piece of string on the zipper. So i took out the string i'd just sow onto the pants and did it all over again.
And who knows. Gladys suddenly floated into the top part of my field of vision. I was sitting there, my right leg on top of my left one and shaking it. Sewing my pants. She asked me why I was sewing and whose pants it was. I said it was torn, and it's mine. Then she started blah-ing that i should be doing sales, instead of sitting here and sewing stuff. She asked for yesterday sales and was not happy to hear that it was six hundred plus. No customers what, I told her. Then she was saying there were customers when she was here yesterday. Then i just started to laugh. I find all of these so hilarious. I'm sewing my own pants at my workplace. HAHAHA. So i quickly finished up and changed back to my own pants.
Hohoho. Luckily we didn't change disc.
She went to change the clothes on the mannequins, but couldn't find anything that fits.
Personally, her creation doesn't get my vote. Not my style.
Gladys reminded us that driver won't be working tomorrow. Good Friday. Which means we won't get new stock tomorrow. Dammit.
She then took her bag with her and went to walk around. YAY! Finally gone, I thought. Then i went to change water. Went to the toilet. I came out of the cubicle and saw GLADYS again. Damn. She asked me something about a customer.
Then she came back again. A guy came to pick her up.
YAY! No more false alarm(s). So dead tired. Did newspaper cuttings till 2am yesterday night.
Sales was quite good today. Hit a thousand plus.
Siew Foon said that she learnt a lot of stuff at Amk. Learnt a lot from the veteran auntie who had worked at Dano for six years. Gossip and stuff. HQ people are hideous. Treat you well, but stab you in the back. Good that i'm leaving soon.
Some people are just don't have a real face.
Nine is the magic word. =)

Quest
4 April 2007
Siew Foon's off today.
Actually Shi Yng's a really nice girl. It may be that incident which made me detest her, made me hostile to her. But I just take it too seriously. I just think too much. Many people are actually not so detestable when you don't think so deeply into it. I guess that's why so many people in the world can't get along with one another. Maybe everyone should learn to let go.
Anyway.
Shi Yng told me Jason would be dropping in later. She just happened to 'receive information' from the HQ people. Hahaha.
Someone came in to interview. Vietnamese girl. She filled up the form. Expected salary: $1200. She has job experience. Her salary was like, $1100-1200 for her past few jobs. We told her to walk around in the mall while waiting for Jason to come. So she went.
I took a peek at the application forms. (Actually they were laid out generously on the table.) There was one applicant from TP and she said that she would be able to work till 23rd April. Who would want to recruit her?
I was sitting on the chair behind the counter when a man entered the shop and went into the storeroom. Oops. Jason. Why am i always caught doing something wrong in front of the HQ people? MUHAHA.
He was wearing a (bright) red shirt. And as usual, he didn't button the first few of the buttons on his shirt. G-R-O-S-S. He's always like that. The first time i saw him was at the interview. I hated him since Day 1. Hahaha.
Anyway it's been a long time since i last saw him. He was here once or twice since I was working at TM. But he hadn't been here recently. I asked Shi Yng if she chatted to him in the past when he was here. She said yes, but now, not anymore. It must be the bonus thing. And Jason asks her to settle all the problems herself nowadays. Siew Foon suggested that it's cos SY's leaving soon. End of May.
Jason left his laptop in the storeroom. I called the Vietnamese to come back to the shop. Jason brought her outside the shop for a chat. Then somehow the application got back to the table(Jason brought it out for the interview) and i KPO and read it. The '$1200' was striked out, with '1100' written in black in. Obviously Jason's handwriting. Dammit. I only $900 leh.
I contacted two Malaysian girls who had came to fill in the forms earlier. They said they were in Kallang and would take half an hour to reach here. Ok.
Jason went away. I guessed he went to McD to use free internet. HAHA. The two Malaysians finally came, like one-and-a-half-hour later. I had even went for my break! (BTW i bought a pumice today. Got a layer of hard skin on my heels since working at Dano) One woman came first, asking me if the two girls who had been here earlier for the interview had left. I said yes, then she went away. I thought she was asking me for the morning part. Then the real McCoys came. Called Jason. He asked me to tell them to find him at McD, just opposite The Body Shop. SInce the Malaysians were like blur-blur, I brought them to him. I am so gracious and helpful right?
Jason came back later, with no signs of the application forms. I wonder how much salary would be given to them. He brought in his laptop, but they was no sign of it anywhere in the storeroom. Hmm. Very peculiar.
Once Jason entered the shop when i was eating beehoon at the counter. Shi Yng explained it was because the store was stuffy. He understood. But i didn't dare to eat in front of him. Served customers in between mouthfuls.
Meanwhile, the people at Blush! changed the clothes on their mannequins. It was... very unprofessional, i should say. The one in the middle has a silky cardigan slipping off her arms. The staff are, like, trying to make her look sexy. And the hot pants are like printed with cutesy, coulourful cartoons. Oh my goodness. Sheer torture. It's not beneficial to their sales.
Later another girl came in. Very student-like and demure. I think she filled in the application form two days eariler. All of us were at the counter. Jason was telling her stuff about the job. Then suddenly Shi Yng asked me how much my salary was. I turned around and said,"Nine hundred lah". Jason asked the girl,"Can?" The girl agreed, and was told to report for work on Tuesday. Then Jason mentioned something about six off days, then suddenly turned towars Shi Yng and told her,"Oh you haven't heard of it hor?" Then he continued babbling stuff to the girl.
I went inside the store to check stock, and found out that Jason had stashed his laptop in the shelf. -_-"
Later Shi Yng asked him what he was talking about earlier. Jason then BRAGGED about the various changes that will be made to the company policy. He said that he needed to do something, cause everyone is running away from Dano. Hahaha. Serve you right.
1. Six off days per month, including one Sunday. So the staff will get 1 day off for the first week, 2 days off for the second week including a Sunday, 1 day for the third week, and two for the fourth week.
Jason mentioned something about keeping in competition with other comapnies. I barged in and commented,"Yah lah. Other companies let you have at least one weekend off"
2. Comission regardless of whether you've hit your personal target/shop target. 0.5% comission. So it means you'll get comission any-oh-how.
3. 55.5 hours a week-----> 47 hours a week. Damn you. And there're the shifts of 2pm-10pm and 11am-8pm. They should have done this earlier!
4. New uniforms. (Oh yeah. I forgot to suggest to him that we houd be allowed to keep our uniforms, like Fashion Lab.)
5. Increased salary, up to $200 increase.
All these changes will be made in MAY. Damn. And guess what. They are throwing out all the clothes and bringing in new ones on 15 April. Me quitting on: 14 April. Damn you fuckers from Dano.
My pay is only $900. Won't affect me much anyway. I'm not confirmed stuff. Just not very pleased about the working hours stuff.
I seriously suspect someone from headquarters is reading my blog. HAHAHA.
Dano finally has the graciousness of what a big firm with 14 outlets islandwide should have. But it still remains to be seen.
He left shortly after. YAY! Rest time.
Jason looks stupid, but he's using money to keep Shi Yng and the others. Scheming bastards.
I was sitting behind the counter again, when Gladys poopped out again. Dammit. I forgot what i was doing, but it must be something unsightly. Hahaha.
Luckily Shi Yng brought her own cd to play. It was in English. Phew.
Thereafter Gladys requested for plastic stands. Gave it to her. Don't know what she's up to.
I wanted to take out new stock from the store, then i saw her taking merchandising photos. Propped up two small bags against the plastic stand. She was taking pictures with her digital camera.
Then she was asking for batteries. None. Only the remote control's which are too small.
Finally finally finally she went off. Time a well-deserved break. HAHAHA.
I sacrificed my youth.
I sacrificed my beautiful feet.
I sacrificed my TV.
Finally i will be released.
In 10 days.
Siew Foon's off today.
Actually Shi Yng's a really nice girl. It may be that incident which made me detest her, made me hostile to her. But I just take it too seriously. I just think too much. Many people are actually not so detestable when you don't think so deeply into it. I guess that's why so many people in the world can't get along with one another. Maybe everyone should learn to let go.
Anyway.
Shi Yng told me Jason would be dropping in later. She just happened to 'receive information' from the HQ people. Hahaha.
Someone came in to interview. Vietnamese girl. She filled up the form. Expected salary: $1200. She has job experience. Her salary was like, $1100-1200 for her past few jobs. We told her to walk around in the mall while waiting for Jason to come. So she went.
I took a peek at the application forms. (Actually they were laid out generously on the table.) There was one applicant from TP and she said that she would be able to work till 23rd April. Who would want to recruit her?
I was sitting on the chair behind the counter when a man entered the shop and went into the storeroom. Oops. Jason. Why am i always caught doing something wrong in front of the HQ people? MUHAHA.
He was wearing a (bright) red shirt. And as usual, he didn't button the first few of the buttons on his shirt. G-R-O-S-S. He's always like that. The first time i saw him was at the interview. I hated him since Day 1. Hahaha.
Anyway it's been a long time since i last saw him. He was here once or twice since I was working at TM. But he hadn't been here recently. I asked Shi Yng if she chatted to him in the past when he was here. She said yes, but now, not anymore. It must be the bonus thing. And Jason asks her to settle all the problems herself nowadays. Siew Foon suggested that it's cos SY's leaving soon. End of May.
Jason left his laptop in the storeroom. I called the Vietnamese to come back to the shop. Jason brought her outside the shop for a chat. Then somehow the application got back to the table(Jason brought it out for the interview) and i KPO and read it. The '$1200' was striked out, with '1100' written in black in. Obviously Jason's handwriting. Dammit. I only $900 leh.

Piece of Chicken
Wore the pointy back patents to work today. The previous pair had one with a gaping hole at the front. Very cooling. Haha. I was so worried i couldn't chase after the bus in this get-up.
Got up early to go to 77th Street at CP. Received my GetALife! Card yesterday. So i went to add Street Dollars to my card today.
Using the CD player today. Finally found new batteries. My mama had hidden them somewhere. Haha. And i discovered that the CD player could work with the long-wired earphones i bought for the mp3 player after the original pair broke. Great.
Took the bus. Bought an ultra-bling ring at Montip. Went to Silvera, Century Square to collect my ring. I somehow didn't bring along the receipt, but got it anyway. My name was engraved on the inner side of the ring. Yippee!
Shi Yng's off today. So it's me and Siew Foon. There was barely any customers in the shop. Siew Foon went to the bank.
Chatted about SF's love life. Haha. I'm so KPO.
She went to buy lunch. Shi Yng called. Then she was grousing to me that she's bored. So i said,"My problem ah?" Yeah. I know it's rude, but hearing her voice makes me grumpy. Can't help it. Then she started to tell me how disgusting her bf's sister's bf's brother was. Ok. Lemme do an intro. This guy(Let's call him A) had a tiff with his father and moved in with his elder brother. So he sleeps in the living room, wearing short HOT pants even though he's rounder than your average guy.
Ok. So Shi Yng's always telling me stories about him and complaining what a sucker he is. So today Shi Yng saw something gross about A, and she was frightened to go out to the living room to watch tv and stuff. So i told her to go out and take a walk. She said it was boring to go out alone. Ok. So just sleep lah. She said she just woke up. So there's nothing left for her to do right? There's nothing i can do to help, either. So i just kept quiet hoping she would say 'bye', and she did. Yay. Tormentous.
Went for my break. I felt like i was progressing very slowly with the pointy shoes. I was slipping 2cm back while walking forward for 10cm.
I had this 'Teriyaki Chicken Noodles' from Cavana. Oh please. It's an imitation of Wanton Noodles! HAHAHA. Doesn't taste nice anyway.
Chatted on the phone with my brothers. Just to while my time away while disturbing them.
Read my storybook. Getting exciting right now.
Oh yes. I did manage to chase after the bus.
No Ramly burgers today. Hahahaha.
MUHAHAHAHA. It's all over in 10 days!

Opulence
MY DAY OFF! (I recently found out from the Sunday Times that 'off day' doesn't refer to the day you have your day off. Check the dict for more info. =>) Finally.
First stop. I went to have lunch at Sin Ming Road with my family. YAY! Long time no eat porridge. HAHAHA. It's delicious! As always. =)
Then my mother mentioned about me going for driving lessons. WHAT? I was shocked. I thought you could only take driving lessons or go for license examinations when you're, like, 18? My papa and mama said that you can, when you are above 16. I was so EXCITED! Driving! For real! No more Daytona races! HAHA! But my mother called to ask her driving coach anyway, for assurance. Nah. 18 is the minimum age. Poof. I knew it. I mean, this is Singapore, okay? How i wish i would get an Alpha Spider(my lil' bro told me about it. it's black and has red seats. cool!) for my seventeenth birthday. Go on a road trip with my friends. Ok... back to topic.
And so we chatted about cars and license plates.
Then we drove to this International Business Park at Juring. I wanted to get the mp3 player repaired. I am absolutely dying without music to accompany me on the bus. Ok. So i took a queue number. Waited and waited. My lil' bro and i went to check out the gadgets on display. He was playing Heli Attack on one of the desktops. I went to fumble with this Podcast, where you can slot your mp3/4 player into it, connect the podcast to your tv, and play music and videos from your player on the tv. I went to play Jay Chou's music videos, and later pressed 'Play' on some music clips. Good quality. Haha.
My phone rang. My mama. So i ran across the carpeted ground. Got my mp3 player to the service counter. The person switched on the player, took out the battery, plugged some stuff into the USB port. And... It will cost $299 to repair it cause the motherboard or whatever board(he said 电子板)is damaged, and since they are no longer producing this model, it costs much more. Somemore the warranty is oh-so-over. Sobs.
So we went off and set off to Ang Mo Kio. Got my haircut, FINALLY! My brother went first, and ran off after his haircut. My turn. Layer, layer, and layer. (I'm keeping my hair long. Takes, like, forever...) The hairdresser even asked me if the weight on my head feels lighter. Haha. Whole clumps of MY hair(brown+black+blonde colour) went on the floor. I guess my hair doesn't look so much like stray hay anymore.
Went down to the temple for a while. There was a new dog in the house. Jacky, brought here because his owner didn't want him anymore after he/she had moved from a private housing to a condo. He's just so small-sized, ok? He reminds my of my little baby darling hamster. Haha. Jacky's adorable, somehow. He's always jumping up and down and holding his turtle soft toy in his mouth. Ah boy(the dog who's been here since he was a baby) has got some companion now.
After that i took bus 262 to AMK MRT interchange. AMK Hub is mostly fully furbished roight now. Gotta make a trip there sometime. I have discount coupons! Ha! Then i took the MRT to Dhoby Ghaut, and changed to NE line. Alighted at Harbourfront. Somehow i stumbled to Harbourfront Centre. But i didn't go there anyway. Actually i wanted to go to Dano, to see Suet Ling's NEW hairstyle. But... no time to lose. So. Bought three magazines. Seventeen(USA) and Jane. They didn't have Arena with Avril on it anymore. One magazine shop had, but it was $17++. HMV had it cheaper. So i took the MRt to Somerset(on the way what). Went to HMV. Damn they had a better version of Under My Skin, with Music Videos. $33. Dammit. Why didn't they put it out earlier? Shit. So i got Arena, which is 'Unsuitable for the Young', and made my way back to Amk, through the squeezy train and the empty bus. The Seventeen magazine is torn! Dammit. Whatever. It's cheaper than those sold at HMV.
We took Jacky out for a walk. He doesn't bite. He's so docile. He knows commands. He's really happy. We're happy too. (But my brother complained that he didn't get to roller-blade cause i went out.) We took him back and went for dinner. Yummy. Fish Head Steamboat. I LOVE STEAMED FISH! Hahaha.
Went home.
We got F.O.U.R. Ramly burgers today(my mama wanted to try and we got another one for my big bro, who's at home, presumbly sleeping) and smelly beancurd. Haha.
Incoming letter from TP again. Dammit. This time it was from the Finance-and-blah department. They said i haven't submitted the hard copy of my online CPF application. Yeah, right. It's more likely you dirtied it. I submitted it ok. I checked and double-checked and triple-checked before dropping in the envelope, you bastard.
I gonna call them and ask and question and quiz them about it. Damn.
I was waiting my hair to dry and so i took out the newspaper to read. Flipped through the main page. Went on to 'Home'. Got a shock. Think shocking kind of shock. The quit smoking ad, remember? Ok, so they've got it on tv(I haven't see it, though), on the boards at the bus stops, and now on newspaper. The newspaper one is by far the most horrifying. So everything's in black and white, except for the lips. Oh my GOSH. Maybe because it's the night. But... great ad, man. Good job. It scared the wits out of me that i would never dare to touch... the newspaper at night. Wahaha. Wah, jin gia lang.
Anyway, i personally think the lips weren't very terrifying. It's the whole facial expression. The whole package. The frown, the eyes. But i applaud the person in the ad. She's really brave to do this. To show the world what smoking does to you.
Twelve more days.

NIL
I seriously forgot what happened today.
I only remembered that my family fetched me home after work today.
We digressed about the recent ads about "Quitting is hard, not quitting is harder" and the female ghost in the ad.
Then my brothers and i took a walk at the pasar malam. Bought 2 Ramly burgers.
HAHAHA.
Happy April's Fool Day!
