Embarrassed

It was a fine day when I went to work around 8 am. Did the daily documents that needed to be sent to the finance department and to the Cisco. Several hours later, the pharmacist came. He is one cheeky and childish guy.
Few days ago, i walked along the sensor panels and they started sounding. I was startled but I didn't sense anything was wrong. I decided to go to the washroom and when I turned to my side, i noticed the sensor tag was stuck to my blouse. I suspected the pharmacist of doing it but i had nothing to prove it. I went back to the store and glared at him. He grinned at me and i gave him a sheepish smile. I saw some sensor tags on the table and thought that maybe one of them got stuck accidentally on my blouse. I dismissed the thought that the pharmacist was behind it. It was quite embarrassing though.
Today, i stood near the sensor panels, looking out at other stores as there weren't any customers. Unexpectedly, the sensor panels sounded again. Not again, I thought. Then I noticed the pharmacist laughing. He said " why are u always sounding the sensor panels?" Jeez... i was such a fool. It was his doing!!! I asked him if he stuck it on me and he denied. He then confessed that he threw it on me and asked if i wanted to try again. What a mad guy. So embarrassing... Felt like digging a hole and burying my head in...

Double happiness

Jeez... had to work with this colleague of mine again. Sharks. At least todae's much better. It was a busy day. But she helped out and did some of the cashiering and attended to quite a number of customers. Happy!!! Sales picked up too!! What a great relief. Otherwise will be unable to hit the targeted sales for this month. Double happiness!!!

Testing my tolerance level

Todae, i look forward to working with another colleague of mine after i was informed by my colleague of her bad working attitude. I thought of it as a challenge and wanted to see for myself how bad she was as they made her out to be.
It started out fine at first. I assigned her some tasks to do. Whenever i asked her if she knew how to perform the task, she would say " ya..ya..i know". After awhile, when i asked her if she had completed her tasks, she would say "so many customers,... can't do". I was utterly pissed. I was so exasperated.
Time went by slowly and she kept counting down to the time that we can knock off. I was constantly reminded of time that i can knock off. It was a little irritating, but i personally feel that we cannot have such a work attitude. It was saddening to learn that she was lazy. In the end, i had to complete most the tasks i assigned to her myself. She managed to complete one only. Haiz...
What pissed me off was when the time drew near to closing the shop. I was attending to the final customer of the day when the phone rang. I asked her to answer the phone but she was reluctant to do so. She insisted that the phone wasn't ringing. This went on for about 30 sec before the customer finally said that the phone was ringing. She then went to get the phone. She took her time to get to the phone. Definitely by the time she reached the phone, it would have stopped ringing. When she got back to the cashier counter, she told me " when we are busy, we don't need to answer the phone." What can i say? She really tested my patience. What a day!

Free

Finally!!! Today and tomorrow are my off days. Need not work, can stay at home for a good rest. So happy! In the morning at around 8.40am, i went to the park nearby for a jog. Met daddy on the way there. He did his exercise since 6.50am. Geez... Can't imagine myself exercising for almost 2 hrs. I will be dead tired. Went home with daddy after 40 mins of exercise.
Over the table, daddy, mummy and i crapped like nobody's business. Full of nonsense, talking about crazy fellows and my mummy denying that she's sick. Stubborn to see a doc, can't persuade her to go to the doc. In the end, we gave up.
Took my breakfast accompanied by a cup of almond drink. Yummy!!! Still cooling down from the jog, i started playing com games again. Until around 12pm, went for a refreshing bath. Felt wonderful... Brought babe home from school again. And had lunch. Boring routine actually... No life.. Wanna read my novel liao...

Record breaking day

Worked the morning shift today. So slack coz no customers at all. And the sakae guy looked over again. He's a little sick and weird. Dislike him man. All of a sudden, he dun wanna talk to me anymore after my family went there to eat quite often. When i worked at Guardian in the past, he used to come over, bought some products and talked to me daily. Now, pretend he didn't see me when he walked past me. Anyway, he's not an eligible guy. Not my type... Most importantly, the guy i will like eventually must be able to give me a sense of security. If not, he's a no no. Of course character is important as well, followed by looks and his working capabilities.
Amazingly, at work today, didn't even need to speak madarin. Broke my record man. Haha... felt so relieved. I think if customers wanna me speak in mandarin, they will only understand one sentence out of 10 sentences. There was one incident where this old man asked me for Olay products. He used mandarin for the brand's name. I was totally unaware that Olay was called ____ oil (covert to mandarin). In the end had to ask other customers. So paiseh... When i told my family, they were giggling like mad. I think i really need to brush up on my mandarin. It is extremely terrible..
A few Malay customers came to Guardian to look for certain products. Approached them and they spoked to me in Malay. Jeez.. asked them to speak to me in English and they carried on in malay. Luckily, Laina came over in time and answered to their needs. Haha, i think i must put lots of powder on my face when i go to work on sat. Otherwise people think i'm a malay. So jia lat. Why liddat. I chinese ok? CHINESE!!!
Area manager, Ms Serene came to our outlet for inspection. Shit! I was working alone at that time. Gave me so many instructions to follow. Felt so pressurized with her around. Asked me if any of my frenz wanna work part-time at guardian.. hey guys, wanna work call or msg me hor. thanks... heehee

Yum Yum!!!

Waited for my sis to come home from school then my parents, babe and i went out for a food adventure. Had steamboat and a hot cup of coffee for lunch at Golden Miles Tower. Simply delicious!!! Daddy drove us to Lavender Street and bought the famous Marina Square noodles. That's my favourite! Lots of vinegar, chilli and nicely flavoured. Spiced me like hell when i took it after i came home from work. Following that, we proceeded to Little India to buy chicken masala. Superb!!! Ended our food frenzy and daddy fetched me to work.
At work, the pharmacist was slacking and kept talking to me. Kept persuading me to tutor primary school kids instead of working at Guardian. He's a little mad... Who cares... Did the normal routine work and sales was still not improving. So sad.. Was busy for a few hours and then totally slacked. Nothing to do, kept finding work to do but my colleague, Laina, is a capable worker. Everything completed before i could even touch the work. Haha.. one of my favourite colleagues there. Closed shop at 10pm. Accounts for the nite was done real fast. Completed in 10mins. Broke record. Managed to catch the free shuttle bus to yishun.
Reached home at about 10.30pm. Did not manage to watch my korean show. Damnz... Nvm. Dun wanna watch it already. Ate my favourite noodles, shiok man!!! Jeez... confirm fat one. Didn't exercise and took supper some more. Die liao...

Nite to Morn...

Yesterday, i slacked at home, playing com games. Around 1pm, brought my sis (babe) from school. Had my lunch and bath, then carried on with my com games frenzy. Chatted with by over msn until time to go to work.
It was stock-taking day for Guardian. Reached there at about 7.30pm and was assigned to count the stock at the Maybelline bay. Sharks!! Lots to count and kinda messy. Women are women. Always messing up the entire bay. Took more than 2 hrs to count the Maybelline stocks. Pharmacist chatted with me for awhile. Felt uncomfy having him stand there while i was counting the stocks. Then he left after other colleagues came back from their dinner. Phew... Carried on counting stocks for Lo'real, skincare products until 1am. Really exhausted. Took a cab home with my in-charge. Nice lady.. lucky to have her as my in-charge.
Before going to bed, chatted with my bro for around an hour. We crapped... talked about school...and my workplace. By the time we ended our conversation, already 2 plus am. Damn tired. Slept through the morn until 8.20am. Intended to go for a jog but was too exhausted and lazy to step out of my house. Getting fatter as the days pass by.. oh no!!!

Pissed...

It rained cats and dogs this morning. Feared that the road outside my workplace would be flooded with water. Didn't want a re-enactment of what happened a few months ago, when it rained heavily as well. The lorry speeded across the road, feeding my uniform with a large puddle of rainwater. I was totally drenched. Shoes were soaked with water and my uniform was beyond hope of getting dry.. That was such a terrible day.
Fortunately, the rain died down to a drizzle. Reached my workplace at about 8.35 am. Did the neccessary documents and opened shop. Served customers, merchandised and cashiering. It was quite tiring. Mouth was so dry from all the promoting and serving.
I don't understand why but any chinese who went to Guardian to inquire and purchase some products would ask me whether i was a chinese. Don't i look like one? They would ask " Do u know how to speak mandarin? Are u a malay?" I know my mandarin is atrocious. While conversing, they would ask again to confirm that i was a chinese.. Jeez... This happened countless times ever since i worked. Otherwise, they would ask whether i was a mixed blood.
Today, this Chinese lady came to the shop to buy a bottle of mineral water. She spoke to me in English asking me whether i was a mixed blood coz i looked like a Eurasian. She mentioned that my eyes looked malay... When i told her i was a chinese, she asked me if my mummy was a malay... wth
My looks run in my family's genes. My daddy looks ang moh, my mummy looks peranakan, my bro looks chyna and my sis looks like a typical singaporean(normal). Haiz... should i try plastic surgery and go for MJ's looks? 3 holes in the nose, so cooool...

A Long Long Day

i finally realised i was the biggest fool in the world. Went to work instead of enjoying my holidays. Nevertheless, the best thingy about working is getting to know my colleagues at the same time earning a sum of money. Who cares...
Worked in the early morning, bored until cannot describe. i think i could have played several games of monopoly, uno and scrabble, hor baoyi?? One thing bad about working the morning shift is not being able to visit the loo. I endured for several hours until my bladder felt like giving way anytime. Lucikly my in-charge came in at 2pm. Rushed to the loo and wow... felt so relieved... Worked till 4pm then went home.
In the night, went out with my family to the park to celebrate mid-autumn festival. Daddy set up a fire in like 10 sec. Can't believe it. He grabbed some branches(thick and thin) and lots of leaves. Placed one of the sparkles in the middle of all the branches and leaves. And the fire started. I stayed close to the fire, fearing the mosquitoes would attack me. I was so happy. I had one mosquito bite only. Hahaha... Broke my record of the least mosquito bites. Mua haha... Played some sparkles and lit up lots of candles. My sis killed ants with her sparkles and candles, such an evil girl. Bro joined her as well. I'm the most saint one. hahaha... Mummy was the best sparkles thrower. Strike 8. Must be lucky lucky hook up on the trees one. She was so cartoon. Ran like a big baby. What a cute mummy! Daddy fed us mac's chicken foldover. Yum yum!!!Enjoyed this family outing... memorable day...

First Day of Holidays

Yesterday, i went out with a group of six cranky gals including myself. Went down town, hung out at Orchard. Walked around Cineplex and bought JJ's CD.. Wooh.. nice songs!! Shopped for around an hour before proceeding to level 4 for our movie.
Anyway, we watched Brothers Grimm. Quite a nice movie, comprised of the collection of children fairy tales. I give it 3.5 out of 5. Rather hilarious, some scary scenes which made me jump and a little romance added in.
After leaving the freezing cinema, we walked to Taka to shop. Didn't manage to meet Mr Lumpy. One of my objectives to go out yesterday was to meet Lumpy.. why weren't u working?! nvm... we shall meet some day. Walked and walked and walked until we reached Wisma. Visited sher's favourite "under the world". According to yz, it was our honour for the one and only shark in the tank to swim over to where we were watching. Probably.. haha.. Sher's so observant. She noticed the mannequin's jeans zipper wasn't zipped properly. Maybe the pants were too tight for her. Who knows??
Afterwhich, we proceeded to Orchard MRT where we had an "illegal" gathering. Stood there for about 15 mins before we came to a final conclusion. Singapore's really too small. Can somebody do something about it?! NO nice place to walk. Possible to walk around Singapore in 3 weeks... Next stop for me shall be Sentosa, which is yet to be confirmed. Gals, quick hor.. gotta work leh...haha, no lah..

Congrats to Stephie for passing her driving test and congrats to baoyi for getting A in her jap. Cheers!!! 'Lainee's abit off yesterday... dunno why... most likely she forgot to take her medicine.
