today is a memorable day. *lol*. i mean, it's my 1st day of work in a new environment, and happened to be my 1st day for my new study semester. and i even wore a new top for work, which is assigned as uniform (even though it's really not very nice looking on me).
i went to work, and everything seems to be an okay start off. even though this morning, seriously, i kinda have difficulty in waking up. i mean, the sign in time is earlier by half-an-hour, and due to a longer travelling time, i have to wake up about an hour earlier. haix. not only that, the shop was in a quite messy state for a proper welcome. so i guess, whoever was working yesterday night, had no intention to even tidy the shop for a proper handover since that whoever should be his/her last day in Centrepoint. i'm quite disappointed and pretty pissed about that, really.
nonetheless, this is my 1st promotion as a 3rd-in-charge and it feels a lil' different. and i hope i'll be able to work well with my superiors, aka my SM and 2nd-in-charge. and also, with their guidance and cooperation, make CP3's standard increase.
the shop's pretty small but have a stronger buying power compared to BJ. so, i think i should be quite fine in handling the people.
about school, my lecturer's pretty funny. his dramatic actions and almost-seemed-like-shouting teachings can be quite hilarious, i feel. also, he keeps pacing back and forth, from the door to his lappie, cutting across the projector screen. it's not exactly distracting if you're paying attention. just that at the end of the day, my neck muscles are slightly strained. *lol*.
i was briefed on the projects and all.... sigh. stress level just keeps increasing....
so i guess my day's pretty alright. fyi, my classes are faithfully on every Monday and Friday. and i don't know that's a good thing or what. hmm.
alright, i need to go sleep liao. super sleepy. i guess it'll be perfect if i'm on Afternoon shift tomorrow but alas, i'm Morning... nonetheless, i get to go off early at 6pm. well, not totally a bad thing as well. =)
at the meantime, adios!

i got transferred... for real this time
oh boy. i thought i wouldn't be involved in the major reshufflement and just stay in where i am. but it turned out otherwise.
there's no news about myself going anywhere. and suddenly, my SM msged me, telling me i'll be transferring to CentrePoint as a 3rd and to send my request for next week directly to them. i was quite stunned. yes, i'm promoted in a way. but i was getting comfortable as a supporting senior. no point being a 3rd actually, when there's no increment on salary. bah!
so, is my SM still moving over to Centrepoint? or there's still some last minute changes that i wasn't aware? or, she's going over with me? hmmm... how i wish i know some more.
i guess, as long as i'm not working with that bastard PC, it should be better for me. nonetheless, i will have much more responsibilities now, which i'm totally not interested. aiya, i just want to work to get the money, finish off my degree with it and that's that. hng! unless got more money, then i don't mind la... hahahaha...
ok, i'll be reporting to new premises on Monday. hope this transfer is a blessing in disguise for me...

going to expect some more movements in the shop...
yes, there'll be some more people involved. and for the meantime, it seemed that there isn't any news about myself transferring. but my SM for sure, will be moving to other outlet.
and somehow i overheard a conversation of PC, that bastard, with another part-timer. he asked her if she would follow him over to another shop if he goes over, but he refuses to tell her any details like what happened or where he'll be going to.
i don't know what's that part-timer's reply, but i'm thinking that if she said no, she wanted to stay, PC would feel damn betrayed. after all, they have been working together in BJ for more than a year and have been on good-terms with each other. and i think, only she could tolerate him. ha!
if based on what i've heard, maybe there's a possibility that he's moving out. which is a DAMN BLARDY GOOD NEWS FOR ME!! i mean, after i've tolerated all his craps, bullies and other nonsense for almost one year, finally my silent prayers would be answered!! and also, i STRONGLY BELIEVED that the rest of us would be relieved from his reigns. *lol* almost nobody, and i seriously mean it, could work peacefully with him. even Calista, once her favorite "little brother", couldn't tolerate him. what else could be worse?
BUT!
it's still too early to say. 1stly, my Area Manager is on reservice, and have to wait for him to come back to break any news to me (and also the rest of us); and 2ndly, this is only afterall what i've heard but may not come true (even though i'll pray and pray and pray that he'll go away).
OMG. just imagining the day without seeing him in our roster ANYMORE would make me feel like popping champagne to celebrate!
also, just to make a quick announcement:
I've remaining 20 coupons of 40% off regular price items, which valids only for 3 fateful days. i.e 24th Nov to 26th Nov. so drop by Bugis Junction to look for me k?
p.s. only for people whom i know as friends ah! those anonymous readers look for me also no use hor!

yay!! it's over!!
hooray, hoorah! finally cleared the exams. the papers are relatively easy, provided if i memorized my facts. but for me, i just write them based on my understanding of the question and the concepts i've learned. so, i believe my marks will also be only s0-s0 lor. now, can pass i quite happy liao. *lol*
it still feels so good. definitely still having the kind of burden lifted off my shoulders. can breathe properly now.... hahaha...
anyway, YM brought me to Bugis Fish & Co for dinner. yummy!!

our dinner!!
our drinks... super big freeze!
the aftermath.... *lol*
ok, needa go rest liao. working a blardy full shift tomorrow. haix... how demoralizing. till then, take care!
just to update before i go to bed and i'll be waking up earlier to do some more revision for my Advertising... and that fearful marketing communications.
anyway, i finally mustered up my courage (and i think my ego's involved), i asked her. 1stly, i'm not sure if she's being serious and all, so basically i'm afraid she'll be like, "i thought you're not keen in it?". but i did the right move about asking, since i wanted to open up my chances.
guess what was the reply? this was her reply:
"hey, i hate to tell you this: i brought up your name to Ann* and she said no coz she's afraid of losing key sales people during the busy seling period.... i wanted to tell you this afternoon but just didn't have the heart to...."
fyi, Ann is Gio's GM.
i'm grateful for her honest reply. didn't know Ann practices cliches... *lol*
since when i was a "key sales people"? also, i don't think she remembers me.... yes, she did came by Bugis a couple of times and she addressed me by my name (coz i got my name tag on mah!). but i seriously doubt she remembered who i am, unless i'm such a "key person" in Bugis, which is not.
even though Ann did have a point there but i felt that me, as such a small and insignificant character, i doubt would be contributing much and BJ wouldn't be in any worser pathetic state without me around than it already is now.
anyway, i told Vic that i'm still keeping my options open even though logically speaking, the sales period would only be over after CNY. specifically speaking - March '07. and till then, i seriously doubt Gladys (the merchandiser) would be able to survive without her assistant for such a long period of time. so most likely they would get someone outside to fill up the place. its common sense, isn't it?
i told her to keep me updated, and also told her my intentions to move out of the front line even though i'm not actively looking for a job.
it's quite sad lah, but i'm okay. i thought this opportunity came quite a good time for me, but apparently, not for Ann. after all, since i'm taking my leave for the Thailand hols, it'll be easier to request as an office staff than a retail staff. darn. thought it'll be a blessing for me....
i don't think i can do anything now, but just wait and see. maybe after x'mas and new year? i don't know... my hopes are dimmed already.
