6th day on the job
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
i was in the bus on the way to work when it got in my head. the 6th day of work, and i'm already getting sian of it. it got me thinking of how working life is going to be about, doing the whole routine again and again. ok, maybe because i suck at the job coz i'm slow at doing stuff. stuff as in, placing the new stock on the shelves then placing the extras on top. its not just placing stuff on the shelves. you need to make out quick decisions of what to put where, how to die die fit the stock on the shelves placing the extras on the back of other products for the time being and then cover the front with the original product. if done slow, its ok, but when you have many many many stocks coming in, some more its nearing the chinese new year, things speed up. even this guy, 3 months of experience is having stress. just now, there was too much stock that it has to be pushed to the front for the time being, coz its night time. now, word has it that they're gonna move things in the tentage further to the front. something like that. most probably when more stock comes in, they've no more space inside. they've already placed most items on cage trolleys. no theres 2 pallets of canned food and 2 pallets of tiger beer. we'll see how things go about tomorrow.

arrived at the place early, so i drank cincau at the nearby coffee shop. went back to Shop n Save at 10. asked the auntie wheres Mr Desmond. she brought me to the office and asked me to wait. i waited and waited, LIKE FUCK. then i went in and asked if he's inside. then in a sec, he went out. total crap man, but its ok. first day was just okok. not much work done, cept for looking out at the things outside and some facing out.
Saturday(today)
went stocking. stocked up the products up to the shelves. you have no idea how fast things go in a day. i have to keep pulling things out. then i've learnt to use the "tiger crate". ooooo... sounds like, wtf huh. its just a plastic crate thats used to place beer bottles, tiger beer, while transportation. hah. only this time its used as a platform. sounds idiotic huh, me telling this stuff, but hey, things are much2 easier with the tiger crate. haha. i can see and move things easily on shelves high up and also sit on the crate while working on stuff down below. thats the best part. you'll know if you've stood up the whole day with only breaks in between. warghhhh...

so we got there. before going up, i called up the ad i saw previously. they told me to come for an interview. apart from that ad, we were at CPF building also because of KELLY. mimi got her work coz she went there. the three of us tought KELLY was this lady or sumthing who gets people work lah. uhuh. turns out that KELLY is a job agency also. similar to recruit express i guess, but the jurong branch is quite new. and also, the ad that i saw is from KELLY by Kelvin, who coincidentally just finished smoking, got back up and was about to enter the door when he saw us. first thing he asked once we got in the cubicle was, "do you'all have to work together?" it was followed by many nos and definitely nots. so he continued, he told us he has a job at a supermarket, Shop n Save, store assistant. a job chance is literally standing(or if you prefer, sitting, coz he was) right in front of us. in mind head was a lot of thinking happening. work, yes, i want, but wait, i'll be alone, then no. yes. no. want, don want. halim and sepol were already making out reasons why they needed the job while i was sitting down with my mouth shut watching them. then we dicided who gets to take the job simply by doing oyapeyasom(how ever it's spelled). and guess what, i was the odd one out! the odd one out gets the job, so i did. i was like, ouhhhkayyy..... good, i got it. but then, there were reservations also. he told us how the routine is to be, write down the time sheet and stuff. then, we're off to Lot1, play pool with Mindy and SQ.

was supposed to go out job-hunting with halim and sepol at 1130. halim overslept and woke up at 1145. me and sepol dun quite have the mood to go job-hunting, so, no one called halim when he failed to hear from him after 1130. at around 12+, halim rang and said he'll be here in a while. unknown to them, i'm supposed to fetch my bro coz my mom went out. so we met at 1+. went to the shop to get straits times, but NO MORE. bought newpaper instead. saw one ad saying 20x supermarket asst needed(something like this), so i noted it down. next, sepol and halim followed me home. waited for my bro first, then went home. sepol brought along this cd. similar to "Entity", an indonesian blair-witch-project of some sort with close-ups, i mean, way close to the pontianak, pochong and this hantu. siak ar, the hantu right, got this friggin huge hands with long nails. creepy like hell sak. and the show is claimed to be real and stuff. what the heck. so after watching that, we don't quite have the mood to go out. ok, me and sepol. halim was all psyched up to go job-hunting AND ALSO play pool. after much pleading and begging by halim, sepol said yes. at first he said he can't coz no one's at home blablabla. he didn't tell us his sis was at home already. or maybe he was unknow to it also. so anyway, we're off to jurong east, CPF building. so we got there. before going up, i called up the ad i saw previously. they told me to come for an interview. apart from that ad, we were at CPF building also because of KELLY. mimi got her work coz she went there. the three of us tought KELLY was this lady or sumthing who gets people work lah. uhuh. turns out that KELLY is a job agency also. similar to recruit express i guess, but the jurong branch is quite new. and also, the ad that i saw is from KELLY by Kelvin, who coincidentally just finished smoking, got back up and was about to enter the door when he saw us. first thing he asked once we got in the cubicle was, "do you'all have to work together?" it was followed by many nos and definitely nots. so he continued, he told us he has a job at a supermarket, Shop n Save, store assistant. a job chance is literally standing(or if you prefer, sitting, coz he was) right in front of us. in mind head was a lot of thinking happening. work, yes, i want, but wait, i'll be alone, then no. yes. no. want, don want. halim and sepol were already making out reasons why they needed the job while i was sitting down with my mouth shut watching them. then we dicided who gets to take the job simply by doing oyapeyasom(how ever it's spelled). and guess what, i was the odd one out! the odd one out gets the job, so i did. i was like, ouhhhkayyy..... good, i got it. but then, there were reservations also. he told us how the routine is to be, write down the time sheet and stuff. then, we're off to Lot1, play pool with Mindy and SQ.

saturday night fever
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
bbq at changi was quite ok. first time having a bbq thing by the beach eventhough with some 'glitches', it went quite well. arrived at tanah merah mrt station at ard 10 plus. sepol mentioned abt taking a cab, and so we did. i think we're supposed to chip in a bit, but since he didn't mention anything, so, shhh. we got to changi beach, put down all our stuff and decided to put up the tent. wait, we ate nugget first, then put up the tent. next, i lied down. the guys are playing with the ball or something. can't remember. then alvin called me. he needed me to help him get a rod at changi village. went there, got it, went back. then some time later, alvin asked what pit i booked. it seems that we're at pit 10 instead of pit 9 which i've booked. idiots. was so excited of the whole barbecuing thing that we forgot to look at the pit we're at. so we shifted to pit 9 exactly the same time the girls arrived. more eating took place. after eating, the guys played heart attack. i wasn't feeling too good already at that time, so i pulled out. snapped their photos i did. oh yar, it was rainig at that time. when the rain stopped, the guys played ball again. i was still feeling down and will be throughout the whole event. i stayed at the pit. helped the girls turn the twister needle. the rain stopped. played guitar, this and that and hello again mr rain. so everyone was back together. then it was bbq time. imagine yourself holding on to an umbrella while barbecuing, just so the fire won't catch water. hah. dun need to imagine, theres a photo below. so, the bbq continues till late night. akmal joined in some time in the day. night time was fishing time. forgot to mention, my not-feeling-well was a fever. it was so friggin cold and no thanks to the sea breeze and the rain. i was feeling better at night. better, but not cured. went fishing with alvin at the beach. feels weird i tell you. so anyway, i caught a fish, BY ACCIDENT! haha. that poor fish got its eyes stuck to my hook accidentally when i was reeling in the line. alvin cremated the fish later on. =) more things happened lah inthe morning, but i'm too lazy to type. just briefly, mimi and gang went home at night, aiman went home in the day, sepols family came together with halim's sis, mindy and sq(ex-colleagues) together with their two friends arrived from marina at around 2300 plus i think, sepol's family and halim's sis went back cept for sepol's bro, then they went to changi village looking for bapoks, cant find, came back, used my rod to fish AND FUCKINGLY GOT MY PERAMBUT TOGETHER WITH HE HOOKS AND STONE STUCK AT SEA AND NEVER EVEN FUCKINGLY APOLOGISE OR ANYTHING. slept, woke up, prep-ed and went home.(lazy to upload each photo to blogger, so, here you go)

i was still having sore throat when the camp started. bought a box of strepsils before heading for school. so it started. they're made to sit in their groups. to do that, you have to call out the group number right. so with my already sore-ing voice, i shouted fifteen! one-five! crazy i tell you. took attendance and introduced ourselves(zheng hao and me) to the group. more shouting during dinner, supper and breakfast. coffee! tea! that was during supper. which idiot placed coffee in the drinks list for SUPPER and expected the sec ones to sleep early. lights out was at around one. only some of them slept. some stayed up, chatted away. one even asked permission to take a photo of the reservoir at night. yes it's a good scenery, BUT YOU HAVE TO SLEEP.
on the first day of orientation, i saw this female teacher. sorry i don't know her name. hah. so anyway, she was holding on to a DSLR! it was so fucking tempting i tell you. its the EOS 400D! latest in his collection. ermm, the school's collection i mean. i just have to ask her whether i can use that camera, and i did just that. went up to her and asked, "cher, is that your camera." she said, "ermm, no. it's mr liang lu's." i was just about to ask whether i can use it when she said that she knows i'm from the photography club. she passed me the cam and kept saying it was new so must be careful and stuff. hah. and i snapped away. went upstage, downstage, front of the hall, back of the hall, in the middle of the sec ones. it was fun i tell you. haha. thank god for DSLR.
one word. talent time. my group did this cheer thing. haha. anyhow did it lor. made fools of ourself, all in the name of fun.
overall, it was ok.
sore throat that leads to strepsils overdose

sec one orientation was stupid. the programme that is. the school has moved to a new location. new teachers are teaching and the system has obviously changed. all the levels are having camps at the same time. orientation camp, NYAA camp, sec 3 camp and study camp. in a way its a good idea, but when you look into things, its all a mess. orientation is meant for the sec ones to get to know each other and stuff. its supposed to be fun. but, in between the fun, it's sort of a boot camp. they're asked to read the school's vision, mission, etc. again and again. sick i tell you.i was still having sore throat when the camp started. bought a box of strepsils before heading for school. so it started. they're made to sit in their groups. to do that, you have to call out the group number right. so with my already sore-ing voice, i shouted fifteen! one-five! crazy i tell you. took attendance and introduced ourselves(zheng hao and me) to the group. more shouting during dinner, supper and breakfast. coffee! tea! that was during supper. which idiot placed coffee in the drinks list for SUPPER and expected the sec ones to sleep early. lights out was at around one. only some of them slept. some stayed up, chatted away. one even asked permission to take a photo of the reservoir at night. yes it's a good scenery, BUT YOU HAVE TO SLEEP.

other than playing pool yesterday, i went to changi village supposedly to book a pit for barbecuing. went far left and far right, but can't find a booth to book the pit. then i saw a sign saying that booking of pits are to be done via axs stations. wahlau. what a waste of time. budden, we get to see how our spot would be like, so it was ok. i booked the place, so my chipping-in part is done. then we 'planned' out, more like roughly think of, the food preps all that. so far, sausies, chicken, satay, nuggets, mee. hah. whats worse is that i'm having this student leader thing with the sec ones TODAY, TOMORROW and till the morning of tomorrow. i wun be able to like, plan things out. so, yar. lets just hope it works out just fine.

Once upon a time, i woke up one morning realising that i'm having a slight sore throat. nothing serious. then we add fizzy drinks to the current problem, therefore it got slightly worse. on the pool table, things get even worse. i was shouting like crazy because the damn ball won't get into the damn hole. so, it made the sore throat worse. last of all, the look of $1-per-packet durians are very tempting indeed and i've been wanting to get them in my mouth for quite some time. so, i bought FOUR. hehe. i tried goring/screaming/whateveryoucallit and i could. i can't say the same for now. i cant even shout. lets just hope those little sec ones have sharp ears and dusn misbehave.other than playing pool yesterday, i went to changi village supposedly to book a pit for barbecuing. went far left and far right, but can't find a booth to book the pit. then i saw a sign saying that booking of pits are to be done via axs stations. wahlau. what a waste of time. budden, we get to see how our spot would be like, so it was ok. i booked the place, so my chipping-in part is done. then we 'planned' out, more like roughly think of, the food preps all that. so far, sausies, chicken, satay, nuggets, mee. hah. whats worse is that i'm having this student leader thing with the sec ones TODAY, TOMORROW and till the morning of tomorrow. i wun be able to like, plan things out. so, yar. lets just hope it works out just fine.
