Dirty Little Secret

Today, Jasmine is on off so i was working with iza...kind of funny because usually saturday morning not many customers...but today before 12pm...already got 3 transaction...until afternoon...the sales seems to be getting better and better....i sold things which are hardly sold...Then during the evening, 3 customers came...an indian guy and two indian women...from far i tot they were not thinking of buying anything...then again...he point here and point there to show him...and told us to wrap them up...!!!...During the transaction, the indian guy actually didn't pay by credit card...he opened his wallet...a huge stack of thousand dollars note...since he only got thousand dollars notes...i got to go money exchange to change for smaller notes...but they were all close...and one of it blatantly say no money exchange...the ironic thing is that their signboard stated..."Best Money Changer"...my Foot...best still like that...in the end i got to run to raffles city and seek serena's help...she helped me exchanged from a watch shop...luckily they helped us...if our big customer will be gone...After they left...the dirty little secret came...well since it's a secret...i shall....shhhhh...No one shall knows...but i am feeling a bit guilty about it..then again why should i be afraid..i am cursed...another karma will meant nothing to me... Finally, tomorrow will be my off day...after 18 days...finally can relax and enjoy myself...shiok man...i am ready for settler's day..=D

Fitting into other's shoes

It's Day 17 and i finally understand how hard my mum has been working over the past 25 years..It's really not easy to work everyday non-stop without resting much...Moreover my mother still need to take care of the house even after she went home...Mother's Day is coming soon...not sure what i am going to give her this year...just hope that she could stop working soon and start her journey around the world with my father...which is what i always wanted la...haha...

This week been working full shift..11hours everyday because there is a shortage of manpower...I really wonder why such an extablished company can be so stingy in hiring more people and giving more salary to their employees..How could you expect employees to sweat and bleed for the company if there is no incentives or welfare for them? I think if they don't change the system quick..they will eventually close down soon lor...

Owww...really tired now...two more days before my 1st off...working is really more tiring then studying man...have to get use to it soon..

The Floater

Where do i belong? I don't even know now...yesterday Raffles City..today Tampines...I don't know whether i am too kind or i am stupid...I used to start work at Raffles Hotel and i thought i will just work there permanently...nv did i knew that i got to go suntec as well...ok...suntec is not that far also....but then a big revamp in the company system...then i got sent to Raffles City because Jasmine gave me to Serena...Then today, got one staff at tampines got urgent problem cannot work..so i got to go all the way from raffles hotel to tampines and take over her and work until night...Tampines!!!....win already....i think i must be too stupid at that moment to agree to it...I think i already know all the layout of almost all the outlets of swarovski in singapore...although it's far..but so far i like tampines mall's swarovski the best..because the storeroom is big...and there are Chairs!!!..haha

Well in future, i may need to become a floater again and moves from raffles hotel to raffles city and help out...it's tiring but it's fun...at least no worries...life past faster when your mind and body are constantly on the move...today is my 12th consecutive days in work...let's see how long i can push myself...Gambateh!

The Curse of the Crystal

Bad news always came one after another...Today just recieved the news that there will be a change in the working system of swarovski...Jasmine will be taking over only the suntec outlet..and the RH outlet will be given to Serena at Raffles City...and jasmine has abandon me and gave me to serena..which means i will be staying at RH with another perm staff from RC...this will take effect in May...haiz...a change of manager for me...

I really think my curse has been brought into my work...just a few days ago...a perm staff from RC ran away with $4k+ from the cash machine and some "free gifts"...why would someone be so desperate to steal so little money and ran off...then when i start to work at RH..sales has been going downslope...hardly saw any customer coming in..as if a forcefield was cast on the store....a few days ago also, $30 was accounted missing from the cash machine in suntec outlet...then staffs have been coming in and out of the company...got one staff work just one day and quit...and i think another one is quiting soon...I really feels that i am the cause of all these unfortunate events...well...i guess i just have to get used to it...在我附近的人都没有好事发生。

The End of CarelessFer

Today is the last day of carelessfer...this is the name she gave herself...but after seeing this you will surely believe that she lives up to the name...

It started yesterday...she was too lazy to go out and eat lunch so i bought her lunch back...well every time when a perm staff goes for lunch break they need to check out of the system in the computer...she did check out..but she forgot to check in....Then at night, she was suppose to check out during the closing of the shop...but since she didn't check in...she was actually checking in rather than out...In the morning, she was as usual late...and when she check in..she didn't notice that she was actually checking out...which means she actually stayed overnight according to the system...lol...it was until when jasmine came and check the system..then she realize that she was wrong since yesterday...how blur and careless she is...damn funny lor..

Today, i had lunch with kaili...didn't know that she was actually working at Raffles City Perlini's Silver until yesterday when i asked her...but she won't be in the RC's outlet for long..now that jennyfer has left...there are only 2 staffs each working at raffles hotel and suntec outlet...hope they can employ more staffs soon...

__________________________________________________________



Swarovski World Record

Woot..Jennyfer did it again...She broke her previous record of latecoming by 40 mins....her previous record was 30mins...Today i nearly thought that i am working alone....lol...well tomorrow is her last day and we will be left with 4 person in the two outlets...haix...for me is ok because i hardly took off...best if i work everyday...but the other three...they need off more than me...but now they could hardly take also....because need at least 2 person in each outlet. Work is getting boring day by date...same routine....nothing much to do...but at least i am earning will slacking unlike at home...

Today was Donut day...Breakfast Donuts...Lunch Donuts...Dinner Donuts...Supper also Donuts....i bought a dozen of donuts from Donut Factory but my family hate donuts so i ate all the Donuts by myself for every meal today...haha....but the donuts are really delicious...though it's best to eat it when it is fresh from oven...I guess i will never be sick and tired of eating sweet stuffs....

I really wonder why would people buy swarovski crystals...the workmanship is bad...design is bad....and price is bad....only the figurines are worth buying...the rest will either spoil easily or tanish easily..so next time you want to get jewellery..get diamond or gold...it's better...

卖菜卖米卖冬瓜

Today, my manager jasmine is on off so jennyfer and me were stationed at raffles hotel branch...Well i finally got to see how late she can be...more than 30 mins..OMgosh...no wonder everybody complain about her...When she came, she was like a ghost...messy hair...smudged make-up...eww...I found out that she was actually a mixed blood...thai and chinese...and yesterday was actually Thailand's New Year( last 3 days)...when there was no customer she taught me some basic thai language that are frequently used...the 3 NOs..."卖菜" is 不是, "卖菜" is 不可以 and "卖冬瓜" is 不要害怕 ...really interesting....haha...after working for 4 days i got the hang of using the cash machine...sales have been improving also...I plan to just work continuously 7 days per week until ICT..i just hate staying at home now...

Today after work, i went for a dinner with Uncle Chin, weifeng and waibin at Magic Wok..because Uncle Chin is going for SISPEC training next tuesday at ROC....ate until burst..all thanks to weifeng for asking more rice...at 1st we ordered 2 portion of pineapple rice...then weifeng said that he wants more rice...lol...so Unlce Chin odered one more portion...imagine..4 person eating 3 big protion of pineapple rice and 3 huge portion of sidedish and one big pot of tom yam soup...it's crazy....everyone is busy with exams nowadays...making the final push to the finishing line...well... i am pushing also...pushing myself to work everyday until ICT...Good luck for the exams guys...and take care...time to brighten up the night with all the oil you all can squeeze...

The Reaping 2-Kyuu's Plague

Day 2 at work was peaceful..but one of the staff tender her resignation after i work less than one hour with her....The cursed kyuu is back and it's spreading like plague to people around him....The perm staff who resigned was actually the legendary slacker queen in Swarovski...During the first day, i already heard news about her...she was said to be not doing anything and sleeping in the storeroom....and she was late most of the time for work...which includes today...She was late for 15mins...and after that when jasmine came and talk to her...she decided to resign...Where got people go work and and want to slack one...well since she resigned, she still had to work for another week before leaving and tomorrow i will be posted to work with her in suntec branch...and coincidentally...tomorrow is the friday of 13....can sense something bad is going to happen...

Since today got lesser patron...i got to learn more about jasmine and why she chose to work her and stress herself out...Then she told me she actually dont' want to work here but she went for job interview with her sister...but she got the job instead....I really feel pity for her...having to manage two branches with lack of sales and helpers...she could hardly take a day off...btw...sales at suntec and raffles hotel are considered the 2 worst branches ...and having to just work for only 3 months..she had to manage the two worst branches all by herself...she could hardly earn any commission...she is just too nice la...but i am glad to be under her...hope that there will be more helpers coming in to assist her soon...really tired now...but i am happy because working makes all my worries gone =)

Men In Black III- The Crystalyst

After all the interviews...i finally got a job...not really the kind that i would want or expect...but to Hell with it... I just want to get out of home...It's so ironic...when i want jobs...no jobs will be available for me...then when i start ti work...those stupid people will start calling me one by one to offer me job...really sick of it....

Well even though i applied for all the administratyive job...in the end...i got a retail job instead...God is really playing with me...Pay wise is bad...but luckily i always got all the good supervisor and managers....i really like supervisors and managers who threat their employees like friends...then a boss...

Today is my first day of work and it feels great to work...even though it happens to be stock taking day every wednesday...but i like to do work rather then lazing around...I found out that there are too many swarovski shops in the central...clustering in the same area...there is one at Raffles City SC, one at Suntec City and another one at Raffles Hotel which is where i work =) I like the area at Raffles Hotel..quiet and peaceful...which is good for temp staff lah..haha...there are only three people at Raffles Hotel Shop....there is Jasmine( the manager of Suntec and RH branch), Joan(a polytechnic student having her internship...she will be heading back to school after two more days)...I got my duty roster...will be working from tuesday to sunday and every monday will be my off day...but i guess i will not take any off unless needed...retail is a new challenge for me since it's my 1st time...but i guess i should be able to cope with it...good training for me also...

Keep Moving Backwards

A cursed man will always be cursed...How unlucky could a person be? Being rejected by 20 job interviews...studies dispute...and now thunderstorm just before heading out and causing the SMRT train to stall...Today, i went to watch Meet the Robinsons with miz...since everyone is mugging for Finals...Just when i was about to step out...it started to pour like Hell....I knew it...I am Cursed...when i got onto the train...the train stall at Dover...and when it started to move...it stalled at every station...So no choice got to push the movie to a later timing...and when the train couldn't afford to stall again..we were told to alight at Tiong Bahru and wait for another train....

Meet the Robinsons is quite a good animation...it told us to "Keep Moving Forward" and taking every failure as success...before that they show the old-time favourite Mickey Mouse Clip...It's been really long since i watch Mickey Mouse....used to watch it on TV...More movies awaiting..like Spiderman 3, Transfomers, POTC 3....Another day passed...Got to occupy myself...Hope the curse will break...

Quitting is the hardest word to say

I am totally worn out...mentally and physically...Stop forcing me already...I have been trying very hard to do my best but what has to come will eventually come...Yesterday, my father finally drove me to the edge..He told me to stop my studies at NAFA and find any permanant job outside...I knew it that he was not happy with me studying interior design...and finally he threw me this question which i cannot accept...because even if i DIE i will continue to pursue my career as an interior designer...This is my future and i am not going to give it up that easily...我赌上我的性命...So please stop telling me to quit because i will not...

每个人都在笑我
笑我不知所措
每个人都说做设计
没有结果
不会 不能 不该有结果
我会 我能 证明有结果

The Second Home

Life is better when i was in school than on vacation...I hate holiday...Holiday has become an headache for me especially when there is 4 months...My parents have been chasing me out everyday to look for jobs...Yes CHASE...they would rather i go a running around singapore than staying at home...既然有父母希望儿子翅膀硬往外飞...i had went for around 15 interview thus far and none was successful...I am feeling really tired now...and it felt even worse than school term...These few days i have been going for more interviews and library...It's only at library i can find peace and tranquility...no pressure on getting a job and no nagging from morning till night....I know that my parents are just worrying me also but i will surely get a job in no time...I hope...However, in the mean time...i just need some PEACE and QUIET...a place where i can do my research...my sketches...

What is wrong with studying interior design?....It's studying also...just that it's not always on mugging...Studying is not equal to Mugging ok...My parents are still not accepting that my interest is in interior design....The "model" way of studying to them is having a book in front of you and stare at it....unlike using your hands to draw plans and sketches...and they still claim that they knew what i really WANT....It not really encouraging when you say," interior design is Art and therefore you won't be successful in future." It's not as if those studying in university will be really successful in future...It's also not helping when you say stupid question like, "what industry you going to do when you study interior design."...


我已经在
凡事由其自然
是非颠倒漠然
遇了处之泰然
得意之时淡然
失意之时坦然
艰辛曲折必然
历尽沧桑悟然
生来死去当然
Please tell me what more i can do to make you all satisfy...=(

Blessed and Cursed

Yesterday, my whole family went down to Old Choa Chu Kang Road to pay respect to my grandparent..My grandmother actually got 3 homes...lol...We went to the pagoda to her new home 1st where she was placed with my grandfather..my great grandmother and my granduncles and grandaunts...

After that we walk to her old house where she was buried to clean up the tomb...She will be moving out after 5 more years...Today i went to her third home at bukit timah temple...where her 灵位 and my grandfather's 灵位 are placed there to allow us to pay respect to her easier...In the temple, i came across a excited fight between an uncle and a nephew...They seems to be english educated people...because they were scolding each other in english...The nephew was the source of the fight...he was grumbling on coming to the temple to pay respect to their ancester...he seems really unwilling to be there...then the uncle couldn't take it anymore and started to scold the nephew...then the nephew started to cry and rebutted back on his uncle...he was around 20 years old i think...then the uncle started to comment on his disrespect to elderly...and not able to take such comments like a man...To me i think the nephew was in the wrong...Are nowadays youngster so unwilling to pay respect to the deceased?..Even if the nephew was unwilling...he should at least try to show some respect to the dead and not make a fuss out of it...It 's a form of Filial Piety OK!!!The uncle was also in the wrong also because he was making a big scene in the temple and spoils the tranquility there...and he also embaressed his nephew in front of everyone in the temple...现代的年轻人真的是不象话...

Yesterday night, went to Marina bay's Dragon Village to celebrate weibin's and mingzhi's birthday...quite a while since i had steamboat...so it was pretty fun...Oh btw a BIG thanks for the really belated birthday gift from chunhoo and those who chipped in...i Love it since my earphone just spoil also...reall came at the right time...=) Not sure whether i am Cursed or Blessed...But right now i experienced more curse than bless...Hope things will brighten up...here are the photos...got one more group photo not taken...that one sure must take from hj..got a disgusting shot...=D

Delicious chocalate cake
