I simply had nothing to do today so after reading up for the taiwan trip, I rewatched Jay's 不能说的秘密! It's been four years since it first came out, and i still find myself touched by the movie. 

我爱你,你爱我吗?

Shall do something useful now - go bring the laundry in. Then I can make dinner and spend the rest of the night watching tv. So boring to be alone at home! :(
So late le! Because of this job my sleeping time has changed from before midnight to after midnight. And I'll probably end up with gastric problems cos i don't/can't eat dinner on night shifts. Very sad job. But there's always a good side to everything! I've learnt that there are many kinds of people on earth. In school i'm usually surrounded by educated people who more or less think the same way as me and speak in civilized language. There I meet people who are really nice, they pass me things that can be packed tgt and even orientate the barcode to face me! Very touched. Some wish me a good day as they go, some help me throw the baskets behind so i don't have to do it. But such angels dont appear often. Mostly i meet people who think their money is so big that they kick up a fuss about everything! Ask them wait a while, kaobei. Tell them i have to go check for barcode, kaobei. Don't pack things the way they want it, kaobei. Even when i overlooked the presence of a trolley and let the person pass, the next person also kaobei me. Oh and the worst is when the person in front forgets to weigh something or get something and the next customers have to wait, they kaobei too! Like, its not my fault at all. No need to scold me in a language that i don't understand. Wah just thinking abt these things I feel angry alr. But yea I don't usually get kaobei-ed at so this is a v novel experience. Anyway, just 4 more days to go, then here I come Taiwan!!

feeling v restless now while waiting for results to come out. haha. now time seems to pass so slowly. A watched clock nv moves! These few days ive been working short shifts, today i even taught a newcomer! Quite familiar with everything alr. I just dont like running for barcodes, 'cause giant imm is so big and its difficult to find where a particular item is. There was this lady who happened to buy lots of stuff without barcodes...no no, she bought items that were on offer but the discounts were not registered in the system, so i had to go running for my supervisor to do a price override. Pretty troublesome. At least the people there are quite nice and willing to help with everything. But no i shall not ever work there again. An office job has regular hours, can slack and typically pays more. Next time must search for holiday jobs earlier le la.

.....ARGHH. WHY 0.02 WHY 0.02 WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!

Aladdin~


Yest i watched this musical with yixin! I was a bit hesitant about it, but still bought the tickets cos they had 50% student discount and we had nothing to do at night anyway. I read reviews about the show and all seemed to enjoy it. So we went in not knowing what to expect and came out feeling really happy! I loved the interaction between the actors and the audience, like when someone sneezed the actress said "bless you!" and continued with her act. It made the audience want to be involved in the show, and with such good response from the audience the actors were able to put on a great show. I also loved how they made jokes that only true blue Singaporeans will understand, although there were a lot of angmohs too. I laughed really hard when one actor started singing 我问天 and then translated it to english! It was so funny I almost died laughing. No regrets spending 6 hours worth of salary to laugh myself silly for 2 hours. Heh. The show will end this Sat, i can only imagine the crowd they'll get that day!

Urghh feeling v tired after work but not in the mood to sleep. Haha. Today was tiring as usual. But im getting the hang of it now, i can identify fruits pretty well and know what stuff to weigh and what stuff i need to key barcodes. But I still had to run to find a few barcodes today. Funny how the long queue just disappears after i come back from my run. I had to handle really heavy cartons of mineral water today, took a lot lot of effort to get them into the trolley. Quite a few people bought bicycles too! Quite cute to see little kids riding on their new bikes. I have four off days next week! I don't know whether to be happy or upset about it. I get to rest, but I don't get to earn the money i need! Sian.

如果没有我你会更快乐,那,我会微笑,然后静静离开。

First day at work

Being a cashier isn't easy at all, no kidding. I had to help handle a customer who bought four whole trolleys of washing powder, cooking oil and the like. All imba heavy items. Some guy saw my visitor pass and asked whether I was there to visit or to work. Upon hearing that im an undergrad, he was rather shocked and said, "Undergrad still do this kinda work!" I had a very strong feeling that I was being despised. I shrugged it off, but I actually really wanted to slap him. I need money so I work hard for it, no need to look down on me thankyouverymuch. I also saw a customer THROW money onto the counter, with absolutely no respect for fellow human beings. Previously working as admin it was pretty much just my computer and me, now this job has really given me a taste of the real world. Total eye-opener!
