Yesterday was quite okay, except for this particular customer, an Englishman. He bought quite a lot of things and I had to void three items and I thought after I served them everything was okay, but no. He told me that I only voided two items but I didn't for the third one. He showed me the receipt and I pointed out to him there was indeed three voided items. Damn, was he stubborn!! He kept pointing to the receipt and telling me there were only two voided items and I had to keep explaining to him. He even said to me, "Look Woman..." Gosh, that was a harsh term to use. I felt a prick in my heart. I wanted to cry, really, but I still maintain my cool. And at last he saw his mistake himself. HAH!!! Told him so!!!

Today I'm going to work at 3 to 9pm. Like yesterday. Hopefully tonight will not be as scary as yesterday, as yesterday was Thursday. And I hope Pauline will let me count my money at the end counter and not tell me to go to the GO. The GO is sooooo scary!!! I hate to go inside the room alone. It's fine during the day, but not after 6:30pm, absolutely.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

My toe very PAINFUL!!! Don't know why my right toe already bruised, and now my left toe's starting to get bruises as well. Have to buy new shoes!!!

I worked today inspite of today being a Public Holiday, but nevermind, can get double pay!! And there's lots of customers today!! And luckily, there's no shortage of money.

Heard from Stella that yesterday got 4I chalet. MAN!!! I really forgot all about it. Wish I could see my secondary school friends. Really miss them lots.

Ok, I'll stop now. I want to fill my empty stomach. And I got to rest cuz tomorrow I'm working!!

Work is soooo FUN!!! I love working as a cashier!! And I made lots of new friends as well. Fizah, who's waiting for her ITE results, Jessie and Aneeza, who's waiting for their O-level results, Sri, from Malaysian and a lady from Vietnam named Theresa. We called her Mother Theresa, one for her name, and the other cuz she's actually quite old already. But she's a fun person to be around with.

Haiz....as usual, today is my off day, the only day I can play the comp. I'm dreading a little for this week. Cuz I have to work till night time. And I have to go back home alone. ALONE. I seem to be having a little problem being alone. I kind of get a little freak out when I realise no one is around, and I'm all by myself. I get this feeling a lot since I started working and I really don't know why.

Yesterday I worked from 12nn till 7pm. Haha, I also had my first mistake yesterday. The customer came and asked for a refund and so I gave him the money. But, I didn't scan the items again, that's why. Then when I did my spotcheck, I had a shortage of $11!!! Because of the refund, I know. So Pauline and Mother Theresa helped me scan the items again and everything went back to normal again. In fact, at the end of my shift, and after I counted all my money minus the $500 float, I had an excess of $6!!!

What am I going to do today?? Hmmm....play the comp as long as I can, eat, watch tv and be a couch potato!!!!

Whoooo....!!!

Today's my day off!! Yeah! Yesterday was my third day at work and I'm finding the job to be quite fun, not tiring at all!

You know, actually on my first day there, I went to Vivo at around 8:30 am cuz I had to be present at my workplace at 9. So I was thinking of coming earlier so that I could find the place first. But when I see the directory, no Cold Storage was to be found, only the Vivo Mart. I actually started panicking, I was thinking, 'Oh God, am I in the right place? Did Kelly Services made a mistake? What am I going to do?'

I calmed myself down first by taking deep breaths through my stomach - this technique really works! - and called the branch. My agent, Laurence wasn't in and I had to call back later, a male voice said to me.

So I went down to B2 and sat down on the bench outside and wait for the time to reach 9am and then I called Kelly Services again. Laurence not in again. WTH!! So I ask the woman who answered my call whether there is Cold Storage in Vivo City or not, and she said to try at the marketplace. And so I went. I had to go via the loading entry which is way back at the carpark and I have to walk all the way there.

When I go in, I was then instructed to go to the 2nd floor and when I did, I saw a lady who's obviously of higher authority and I tell her that I was the new cashier. She brought me to the general office and called a lady named Catherine to handle me. I told Catherine that I am from Kelly Services and that I am their new cashier, know she told me? She said that her boss didn't ask Kelly Services to find them a new cashier. By that time, I'm already feeling a bit panic.

And so I called Kelly Services again. They said they will call me but I waited for like 20 mins and at last Catherine game me my punch card and asked me to change into the uniform that she gave me. I went to the staff toilet...man, sooo scary. My heart was beating very fast and I change into the uniform in record time. Ah, I don't carelah whether I'm very messy or not, I just want to get the hell out of that toilet as fast as possible.

I went back to the GO and Catherine gave the apron and cap and led me out to my work place. I had my training by another cashier named Lis. On the first day, I only observe her and help her pack the goods for the customers, and she taught me the basic steps,

On the 2nd day, I had a little hands-on training by a cashier named Sri. She's from Malaysia and quite a freindly person, not like Lis, who is a bit arrogant and laugh like those bitchy kind of laugh. And now on the third day, I had my full hands-on training. Janet, who is the manager, told me that I'm opening my own counter on Friday. Yay! So today, I'm going to rest all that I can as tomorrow will be another busy day.

Alright...so what am I going to write?? Hmm...ok, I guess I'll write down the thoughts I'm having right now.

I wish I could go back to my secondary school days...I miss all my friends there, to me, secondary school is the best moment of my life!!

Right now I'm in my most pitiful obsession. I regret going to JC and ended up quiting and now, a year later, I'm still sitting at home doing nothing, just like a couch potato...haha.

Sigh...my friends are all in Poly or JC right now. Those in JC had already finished their A-levels and those in Poly are already going to their 3rd year in their course...I'm feeling like I'm way behind them...lagging and slacking...

Why am I sounding so depressed?, I tell myself. Actually, I'm not depressed. It's just my low self esteem, I guess. Maybe I'm way too pesimistic, is that the right spelling? Haha.

Ok...I'll try to be more positive from now on. I believe that every problem has a solution and that life will get better sooner or later, provided that you do something to change it, and not sitting around waiting for miracles to happen. Right...that's all the thoughts I'm having right now!

WAHHHHH!!!! WTH!! None of the jobs called me!! So, does that mean I didn't get the job? Aarghhh! So frustrating! So now I have to find other sources! You know, sometimes I just don't have the heart to go out and find jobs anymore...I'm sick and tired of all the waiting. But nevertheless I cannot give up just because of that, can I? So, I'm going to try the Kiddy Palace at CP and the Value$ Shop at HM. I'm going to ask at the Value$ shop, how much is the pay first cuz I know they mostly employ foreigners so that they can pay them less. If the pay is reasonable, then I'm gonna take the job, considering that the place is so near to my house. Sigh! Well, good luck to me and hope I can get a job really soon...

Yesterday I went to Ngee Ann City Tower A to interview for Metro. I applied for the cashier position, same as my sister, Aton. I can't believe they still need 9 cashiers at the Compass Point Metro!! I hope we can get the job. And the pay is $950 per month!!

Wow, Orchard is so big!! And there are lots of foreigners!! We saw a group of Japanese students in their school uniform, I think, and lots of Europeans!!

While we were walking out of Takashimaya, a lady asked us to do a survey. We complied and she brought us up all the way to the 18 floor. The survey was about Singapore's eating habits. Man, I had to weigh myself. And you know what's my weight?? 57.7kg!! Well, at least I dropped a few kg since last year. Anyway, the survey was a total waste of time to me.

That's all I'm going to write for now. Hopefully they will call me to say I am accepted for a job...

These are the pictures that we took at Vivo City...

Oh man!! I am sooo tired!! Yesterday we (me, my brother and three of my sisters) went to Vivo City, actually, to celebrate my sister's friend's birthday. Firstly, we went there and window shopped for a while...wow...there were so many clothes that I like so much!! But unfortunately, I do not have that much money with me. They are sooo expensive!! After that we went to eat at the Banquet. Yum yum, I ate fish and chips, with ice lemon tea as my drink. I don't know why, but that day, there were so many people!! Luckily we found a table to accumulate all six of us.
After we finished our food, we went to the garden at the top floor. This is the best place ever, man!! I really love the scenery!! It is soo serene!! And exciting! We played with the water, it all feels like a beach, really! And we took lots of pictures! I'll post the pictures tomorrow, ok? I really love the place. Wish I could stay here forever. We finally went home at 7pm.
So today I went to CP to ask for jobs and got to fill a form at Charles & Keith. You think they'll call me? I don't know...maybe, I think. And then me and Anna went to Cold Storage to but some sushi...yummy...I love the taste of the seaweed! Taste so sweet. My sister Anna, got a job at CP Supercut...Man, she's so lucky...she got a job first!! Ok, well, anyway, I feel so tired from going out so many times and tomorrow I have to go to Ngee Ann City to interview for a job at Metro. So, I have to rest now! See ya!!
