getting a preference...

i haven't been working at PS for a while. yesterday, i was assigned to go back. despite the familiar surrounding and faces, i wasn't exactly keen to be returning. maybe coz' i had my manager on shift with me, or perhaps i've grown tired of that place, i hope i would be transferred out.

even though i only worked in T1 for merely coming 2 weeks, i'm quite happy there. probably due to the lack of stress, where my main responsibilities are just to assist them, therefore i felt happier. at least i was working with a lighter heart. at PS, i'm quite forced to take into account alot of other menial tasks and every little thing in PS, and if i would to not do anything right, basically i'm waiting for another shower of nags. perhaps, i can't stand that type of pressure where in-charges expects so much from me and i only have that period of hours to get things done.

i'm still trying hard to just do my job, and just that. after all, i'm not intending to stay there for the rest of my working life. as much as i hate the dreaded feeling of having to work, i would just have to grit my teeth and try to get over with my studies soon..... so for now, i would probably enjoy my last few moments at T1 before good things come to an end.

shall i call them cheapskates? i dunno... just that it really irks me to see someone keeps asking if there's discount. but then again, when i go to other countries for holidays, i can't help looking out for sale items also. so most of the time, i just to be understanding by trying to think in their shoes.... constantly.

well, there're just some tourists who would go to almost every corner of the shop and asked if there're any discounts in almost every item that caught their eyes. sigh. i know, i should get used to it.

like one of the in-charges told me: the customers here have no eyes. which is like so blardy true.

now i understand why Miss Rachel Ibraham from BDS would chid us for not READING THE SIGNS. if the instructions on the door says "Pull", don't be some kok and "Push". the embarassment would naturally end up be on yourself. ha!

if only Miss Ibraham is one of the staffs in Giordano. can you imagine how she will lecture these "blind" customers??

"Read the sign!"

wahahahaha.....

i'm working right now, in Terminal 1, making use of their free internet access to check my mail. i need to know if there're any updates on my loan application. but apparently they have yet to reply me since they've collected my documents yesterday noon. and at the same time, just trying to spend some of my break time away. it's 1.5hrs of break for a 10/c (killer) shift today. i've another 1.5hrs break later this evening, for my dinner. *yawnz*

FYI, i'll be away for a while from the 29th Jun to 1st Jul for another getaway to Genting/KL. since i need to clear my Yr '06 annual leaves, i might as well plan it together with YM. fortunately, his leaves are approved as while. =) i'm like so spoilt!! kekeke....

alrighty, that's pretty much it. and just a glimpse of my this coming week's shifts, i'm on closing shifts again. sianz...

stomachache... it's poo poo time!!! =P


and, WELCOME HOME BELLIE!!!!

just some quiz to entertain me...

If you're honest with yourself, you have to admit that you often feel like you're living the wrong life.It's a pretty easy conclusion to come to - because it seems like not a lot is going right.Consider finding a life coach or mentor. You need some encouragement in turning your life around.

Are You Living The Wrong Life?

i love this one!

You and Your Mom Are Completely Different

At times, it seems like you and your mom aren't even related.You often wonder how two people from the same family can be so different.As the saying goes... you can pick your friends, but not your relatives.

Are You Like Your Mom?

sabo queen

hey ebel, i don't think you're the only one kena to work with a sabo queen lor. my SM is like the same lor!

my vocab is like so sucky now, ever since i worked at Giordano. now, i can't even find a word that could relate that sabo queen! and it's so pissing me off!!!

i've been made to travel to Terminal 1 to relieve. as we last heard, their chalked up OT was as much as 70+ hours, and still escalating! so since i was already chosen beforehand to do my Airport Pass, my SM had to arrange the roster for me to go over to help them clear their OTs. so happened that my days over there are all Afternoon shifts. they start work at 3pm, and close at 12midnight. after clearing up the shop and all, by then we're to sign out, it's usually 1am or later.

for this week, other than relieving at T1, i had to relieve a 1/2M at Citylink. and also, my roster included me to go back shop to help for this Friday. so my SM collaborated with T1's SM to plan my RDs and they gave me 2 RDs for this week. upon confirming T1's roster, they sent a copy to PS. apparently Cindy wasn't very satisfied to see that i got a half-morning and 2 RDs. and so, she called up T1 and told them to give me a more taxing shift if they're not going to change my RDs.

so blardy bitch lor.

T1 changed one of my Afternoon shifts to a 10/C. that is 10am to closing. fine.

yesterday, i was supposedly to be a half-morning, became a morning shift coz' Citylink's in-charge fell sick. so i was made to cover longer hours.

my shift initially was this:

Mon - A (T1)
Tues - A (T1)
Wed - 1/2M (CL)
Thur - RD
Fri - A (PS)
Sat - RD
Sun - A (T1)

became like this:

Mon - A(T1)
Tues - A (T1)
Wed - M (CL)
Thur - RD
Fri - 12/C (PS)
Sat - RD
Sun - 10/C (T1)

that transition from an Afternoon on Tues to Morning on Wed is really a killer. imagine by then i hit the sacks after work on Tues was already 2.30am, and i have to wake up by 8plus for a Morning shift. i thought i was floating at work, seriously.

and my last RD was on last Fri, fyi.

i was so tired that the moment i reached home, i fell asleep for a while. that is about 7.30pm. YM called me at about 9pm to get me to eat my dins. so i went to eat with him and got back about 10pm. and went to sleep till 1.30pm today.

i so can't wait to get out of retail line.

i just came home from a killer paper earlier. it's quite a taxing paper with 30 MCQs and 3 Short Answered Qns that worth 75 marks. total of 18 pages. it's like "WAH KAOZ!". and the 1st question to section B already took up nearly 30 mins in completion. it's like so mind-straining. sometimes, i don't understand why i need to put up with this kind of mental stress. argh. thank goodness it's over.

i dunno how i'll fare lah. but i'll be thankful if i can just clear up this subject. and seriously, this module is something which i don't wish to retake. or in fact, i don't wanna retake any subject lah. it's a waste of my time.

i went to replace my driving license and IC yesterday. cost me a great deal. i believe the driving license would come 1st and i'll tentatively take that as my ID for now. beats having to bring my passport everywhere i go. i felt as if i'm some tourist, go everywhere also have passport to bring around. kaoz....

anyway, i went to Airport Terminal 1 to relieve. and i have my airport pass!! how cool is that!!and staff gets 15% to 20% off on duty-free stuffs. heee.... but the shift is like so freaking long and it's really tiring. their Morning shift is from 6am to 3pm, Afternoon shift is from 3pm to 12am, and their Full shift is from 10am to 12am. their breaks are 1.5 hours, which at this moment they can't fulfill that coz' they're very down with manpower. so they cut the breaks short. i was there and i personally experienced that. the crowd can be quite handful, really.

i'll be dropping by T1 again this Sunday, working on an Afternoon shift. bleah. at least there's a driver specially hired to bring us home to our doorstep, which i'm still alright. but if i've a chance to be transferred there, i don't think i want to lah. the shift is just too taxing.

alright, that's so much for today.

selfish adults

my mum is not in town and i'm made to do the laundry, as usual. my mum told me the washing machine is abit spoilt, but still can use. she only told me the dial to the options of the machine has malfunctioned and she kind of blurred the rest of her speech.

fine, i thought. it wouldn't be that bad since i still get fresh and clean clothes daily. so it wouldn't be that bad lah.

blardy shit lor!!

the thing is, the tub in the machine used to rotate both anti and clockwise. now, it only rotates one direction at quite an amazing speed! and the dial of the machine just stays put! it wouldn't countdown anymore! faint. so it's as good as the machine couldn't wash, rinse, drain and spin-dry my clothes itself. everything i have to manually adjust myself. to put it simply, i'll just agar-agar feel that it's time to drain, i'll turn the dial to drain and that's that. after the water is drained, it'll leave it as it is. it wouldn't automatically spin-dry my clothes for me.

now, i literally have to squeeze the clothes dry before i can hang my laundry! i just did that and i'm like totally drained. i can't afford drippy clothes to hang coz' i'm so worried the neighbors would complain.

my dad blames my mum for spoiling the machine. and my mum rebutted that the machine has rightfully served its life for us for more than 17 years, and therefore it's not surprising the machine will break-down. so, none of them willing to fork out the few hundred bucks to get a new machine coz (1) my mum is moving out soon, and (2) my dad wouldn't want to get a new machine and let that woman used it. so where does that put me?

now i'm thinking if i can bring my laundry to YM's place to wash and bring it home to hang dry, till my mum comes back. but i'm not working a day shift daily lor. how ah?

i seriously has this urge to go Courts and sign up for an instalment for a new washer. but i don't want to be the person to be bogged down for this thinggie y'know. and my dad wouldn't give a 2-hoots about the payment part lor. knowing his pattern, as long as it concerns money, if he didn't have a part to it, he wouldn't even mention about it.

i NEEEEEED a backup plan when my bro just throw their laundry to me.... and i need to wash mine as well!!

fell ill

supposedly to work after my morning presentation in school but i called in sick for work. didn't know what happened to me suddenly. was having a bad headache and broke out in cold sweat when i was on my way to school. it was even a struggle to put myself through the presentation.

i messaged YM to come pick me up at about 11.30am. thank goodness he heard my msg and arrived on time. i didn't sit in to the last group's presentation and quietly excused myself out of the room.

i was having shoulder and neck aches, which the doctor told me that most likely my flu caused the pains.

had a quick lunch with YM and i took my medication at his place. then i slept till evening, yet still feeling lethargic when i woke up. hated the taste of my saliva. no amount of water i took could ease the taste in my mouth. yucks! hate taking panadols....

today, i woke up at noon, took my lunch and didn't have the mood to study. took my medication and i ended up sleeping for a couple of hours more. still, the drowsiness is still there. and i have an exam tomorrow lor.... i can't carrying like this! but nothing i could absorb. how??? haix...

i'll try to take a bath and eat dinner. hopefully it'll freshen me up better.

exams...

changed my blog layout. nice? you'll be surprise what are some of the nice layouts blogspot actually provides. perhaps they're within my taste - simple and sophisticated. nothing too complicated.

my exams are beginning next week. 1st paper would be on Monday. sianz. i guess what irks most being a student would be the exams part.

i still have about 1 more year to go... if everything would to go smoothly, i should be graduating in mid next year.

i'm quite broke now. sianz. still have to tahan 3 more weeks before i get my pay. i'm still figuring out how to break open the poverty circle. hmm....

anticipating my orders to come in! kekeke...

alright now, dunno wat to blog. cya!

wasted.

i didn't mean to get myself wasted yesterday. i seriously didn't see that coming. probably one of my worst misjudgements i had.

earlier part of the day, i got quite a pleasant surprise from YM. he got this chubby "didi" to send me this real huge piggy character - Mai Du (if you know who that is) together with an apology card. i was still working mind you and shop was pretty crowded. imagine the stares i had from my colleagues and customers in the shop when they saw me carrying that fella to our staff quarters.

so ya, i guess everything's alright now, after i read his sincerest apologies.

i can't help feeling materialistic this way. you know, that kind who play-hard-to-get with their BFs so that he will shower gifts as apologies. but the fact i'm not one of those gals. however, it's hard not to feel his sincerity to go through such length to try make things right. and it'll be awkwardly rude to reject the present. i don't have the heart to....

i know it's mushy for me to say this: it's really hard on me to be living without him. especially when i feel we're so much ready to take another step in life and have so much plans planned ahead together. furthermore, despite that the fact we girls can't exactly share everything with our significant other, but YM has became such a soulmate to me where i knew i could depend on him for my ups and downs. i believe i sounded like a wimp but that's how the way it is now.

i went to my niece 1-month baby shower after my work. last minute, i went to Mothercare to buy baby booties. they're the most economical and practical for me. or at least, they're within my budget. i wanted to get her a baby carrier but it's like costing me more than a hundred bucks for one. my eyes nearly popped out! then i realise how expensive are kids' stuff actually.

after that, i went home to change and met up with Mei Mei for some long-lost clubbing experience. so we went to try out at The Clinic @ Clarke Quay after hearing quite positive feedbacks.

i guess the main disappointment was that the club is so small. and it somehows trapped between a chillout bar and a club. the dance floor is like so freaking small lor! and there wasn't alot of crowd though. however, the music was quite good. they 1st spinned retro hits which is like damn good lor! but after that, they spinned some house music which was a pretty turn-off. i can't dance lor. some more, both of us were trying so hard to finish our 1-for-1 jugs of beer. i wanted to give up on the beers already but she didn't wanna waste it. *groan* so we managed to clear them up.

after which, we had our 1 free housepour which came together with our cover charges. i hadn't drink that much for a long long while, and it's really a wrong choice to order housepours, even for jux one cup. then Mei Mei ordered half a dozen of Sex on the Beach, which i made her finished 4 shots and i took 2. yet, i got real drunk. can't believe that girl was alright. argh!

seriously, if it wasn't for the sucky music, i would've managed to get alcohol out of my body lor. and it was such a WRONG WRONG choice to leave the club when my brains were getting washed out.

so, i ended up trying to puke out what i had coz' my head was really spinning and it got me real giddy.

i managed to call YM, even though he was already asleep at 2.30am, get him to send Mei Mei and myself home. he's really sweet to rush down to fetch us. i ended up sleeping throughout the journey back but before i concussed, i told YM i'll be sleeping over instead. that at least, was a smart choice for me.

by then i reached his place, i could hardly pulled myself up. all i know was YM carried me all the way home. when he walked down the stairs, i thought he was floating.... ok, my mind's already floating.

when i woke up, i realize i've dropped my coin purse which contains my IC, ez-link card and POSB ATM card. it really felt sucky to know i was so blardy wasted that i didn't even know my purse wasn't with me already. but then i rmbr that my purse was still with me when i left the club... or at least i think so.

i don't know if any kind soul would send my purse to the police station. i've reported the lost case already. sigh.

well, it's gonna be the last time this case gonna repeat itself. i've paid quite a high price for it. and it gotta be worth it.

nights ppl...
