Opps. Finally i have the time to blog. Was munching on my "lou mai kai" and Big bun by the computer side just now. ^^ Anyway, these few days really quite busy-I wonder if i have shed any weight? hope so. Well, the reason why i am busy was due to the 50% storewide sale in bossini!!! A lot of aunties shoppers came and buy lots of clothes. That was a good thing as when there is more people buying , there is more sales, which means we are likely to get our commision for the month of christmas. =] But the bad thing is when shoppers came, they tend to reach out their hand and take one clothes to see, when not satisfied, they will generally throw it elsewhere. - The neatly folded clothes become a mess. Well, we have to fold these mountains of unfolded clothes before we can knock off. Recently, the staff ended up going home at approximately 1 am . However, we get to have free taxi ride home, as in the money is claimed from the company. =] BUt really very tired if u are working till the night today and have a shift in the morning the next day.=[ Now, i really sort of like my job a little. This is due to the colleagues there. They make me smile at times. Got one colleague, which i used to have pressure seeing her, becomes one i can joke with.Well , twice, we were greeting people who were coming to the shop, shouting " Hi, welcome in, storewide 50%!". Then she read and read the next line, " Xuelian 50%". To me, it was quite funny lo.This is because there were a lot of people in the shop at that time, so i quickly cover my name tag. - i not selling 50%. -.-" haa. There were about 9 colleagues there ( including both full timers and part timers). However, we don't usually coincides with one another, cox sometimes A is working B is not. The only sad thing about my job at times is to eat alone. Then i think i quite unlucky- always having to throw rubbish( that includes only plastic bags). But the rubbish site has a very unpleasant smell. =[ Then , colleagues who work longer than i do sometimes only throw before once rubbish. I have threw it 5 times! In a week, i think .=[ Guessed i will have to bend down to fate and throw le. Good or not, i dunno. K. got to go. Tmr OFF DAY!! a rest at last... I have to go JE take contact lens, see ya. ^^

YO. I finally got a job. However, is coming down with bad itchy throat and flu. Help! Btw, my job is a sales assistant in Bossini. Aunt says i quite useless b'cox i have just started work in 2 days only! Sigh. I think i am the world's biggest fool. 1) Not drinking plenty of water when working - Well, i looked at my other colleagues, they all like also haven't drink any water.So i thought i need to be strong, and thus, throughout 5+ to 10+ pm, not a single drop of water went down my throat. In addition, none of my colleague is infront to greet the customer, hence, i can't leave the entrance.( it's a "rule" ) BUT, why didn't i think of it??? - I am the one who is always greeting the customers in the entrance, so should DRINK MORE WATER!! ah!! Now, the pain have not ceased. Sigh. God, please, i am really feeling very uncomfortable. Later still need to work, maybe will just be nodding and smiling all the way.=[ 2) Putting too much stress on myself -Well, end up i can't sleep at night. Whenever i closed my eyes, i see myself folding clothes and attending to customers. =[ How can i sleep?? As in I think i am really putting too much stress on myself, cox Christmas is a hectic month, then at work, i always ask seniors in finding stock. Then, when some of them are busy, they will keep asking me to find stock myself- this creates another pressure on me. Sigh.Anyone has any idea how to ease stress? I hate this stress. It seems worse than stress inflicted through exams. HELP!! where to ease stress? =[ Now i finally understand the phrase that working adults has lotsa stress. Hope i can really relax. Some bad things about working: 1) You are not a family baby anymore. - Come to think of it, you become a grown-up. Your colleagues treat you like an adult. They don't says like give you drinks, care about you when you are in problems...They let you solve it yourself. Hence, got to be really independant. Sigh. It was only when i get home, woah, where family love comes in. This makes me love my parents more. hee* :) 2) Sometimes, seniors may not be as nice as teachers. -So when you are scolded, you got to learn by yourself. I miss school. ^^ 3) Eating time are irregular. Sian. Dinner starts as early as 5+ pm. Then at night no more eating till the shop closes. But i think i am getting used to it. Good things about working: 1) You get a sense of satisfaction when customers praise your service. -Yesterday there was one case whereby one auntie praised me about my good service. Then i was thinking was i?? o.O? But it feels quite self-assuring.Then, i really like to help those customers that kind of thing. Haa. it is tough job, especially in finding the stocks for them. :) Though the bad things seemed more than the good things, i really want to make my job a pleasant one but i do not wish that it will become a negative pressure, suffocating and torturing me. Now, i definitely know that studying is easier than working. JIAYOU for me. Any idea how to keep stress low, pls tell me. =]]

Yo! I just came back from Malaysia. ^^ It seemed a long time since i last visits my cousins ( ZHEN, SIN, YI, YUAN). The time gap was approximately half a year due to the upcoming O'levels at that time. Well, YI was not there as she was on a holiday trip near Penang.It was a curriculum activity for all Primary 6 students. =]But i missed her so. Well, got 3 major thing: *1) I cut my hair! - Zhen, her mum and her friend accompany me to a salon shop named " DINOSAUR" to cut my hair.The hairdresser was rather skillful from all the " zip...zap" sounds. ^^ Now, my hair is shorter, less thick. But i do missed my old long hair. =] The new hairstyle is shoulder length which seemed quite " KAWAINEI"! :) *2) Went for a painful massage... -Aunt introduced my mum to go for a famous taoist massage which is says that it helped to prevent sickness. Then, my mum haven't go before so she asked aunt to bring me there as the person only open on thurs. One auntie came and asked my cousins and i why we come there or is there any problem with us. We replied we don't know and she gave an unhappy face. Th skilled uncle beside us heard and asked us to show our feet then said Zhen got shoulder problem, then i had liver and stomach problem whereareas Sin doesn't have any problem. Hence, the previous auntie asked me go and started doing massage using her hands and baby oil on my thigh. The "massage" was extremely painful!!! My god, an uncle came with glasses of water placed on a tray and asked if i want one. " what? Drink water in this painful state?" i thought. But the auntie says it helped to circulate the blood. But after drinking, i felt the same way. The auntie then left and said she is leaving and asked me wait as another person will attend to me. Then, i saw my cousin Zhen, she was being massaged at the shoulder. She was clutching sin's hands. The lady attending to zhen then attend to me. Another skilled uncle attend to me again. WOAH. tremendous PAIN!! My leg now have a long stretch of blue-black. The skin like showing some red patches. Aunt was also doing it, the uncle thought she was fainting as she closed her eyes. That was quite a funny part. When the 2nd auntie was massaging me , i had Zhen and Sin for accompanying me. =] Food to prevent from eating are : 1) fish 2) egg 3) ikan bilis 4) chilli 5) Cold drinks *3) Was always playing The Sims 2. It was nice. But Yuan, 4+years old kept fighting with me. SOB. Then, when i dun play, she also dun wan play. Aunt is the most pitiful i think cox she dotes on her too much. All mother dotes on their child? Ok. Guess that's all. I missed them...

Ok. Have taken some photos in M'sia. All "ZILIAN" photos. ^^ My cousins: ZHEN and SIN- aren't they pretty? btw, they highlighted their hair. SIN's hair very cool~ ZHEN and i behind the cashier counter in Mum's and auntie's incense shop. We lie down.. so sian. :) YUAN and I. ^^ -twist! The last photo: "WE cousins ROX!" SIGH. a pity thing is that i haven't took with SIN and YI yet. SOBSOB. got time de. all the way to go!!!

Today was a very boring day. My whole day seemed so boring. No employers want to hire me .( just b'cox i am too young) =[ Anyway, i just changed my blogskin. Nice? It is GOONG!!! (><) My cousin coming to my house later to take her books as i have done some housekeeping the previous days. :) I was feeling rather sad to part with my books, those books, which... i have studied like crazy for the past 2 years now seems abit unimportant to my life . sigh. BUt if i go JC, probably it will still be useful. =X let's see... Then, on last saturday, xingyi and i went out with our old time friend , rong yao to sentosa. Initially , i feels uncomfortable with so few people going to Sentosa ( 3 only!!). But then, the trip was not bad, we still had fun. ^^ though i prefer many We met at Harbourfront MRT control station, was rather surprised that he changed quite a lot, but his tone and mindset remained the same. =]] Perhaps NJ is really stressful? o.O? Well, saw yewleong there & i almost forgot his name. =X He was working at PR, public relations. Wonder what is the pay... =]] But just greeted and off we went to Palawan Beach. Argh. Had an argument with him about the seawater in Sentosa. He kept complaining it was gross -.-" ( i guess we should have gone other places in the 1st place ) sigh. Though at the end of the day we were still soaked in that gross seawater. =] haha. Then, ate TaokaeNoi-my favourite seaweed. ^^ After that, it was noon and we went to eat at the newly-opened foodcourt. The food was ok as mine looked more delicious. The thrilling thing is that we went to cycle and managed to cycle in the jungle trails and not the usual beach trails. -cool~~ However, i think i really have to train my stamina, was a lousy cyclist when travelling uphill.=[ =p ( I was panting all the way) We want to watch the musical fountain, but the seats were full . =X There was some entertainment outside, with some tribes playing with fire, playing stunts will fire sticks. ^^ Some have shows in which they blew out a gush of fire from their mouth. ^^ It was cool and nice. ^^ Then went off to VIVIO city. i haven't been there before. Xingyi and rongyao took me around as if like i am a countrybump. Sob. lol. though it seems abit so. But the place was rather huge. I can only see with my eyes wide open. =] We went to the top floor to have our supper( potato chips + seaweed). Took some neos too. Miss it. =] Sigh, guess 2 years later there will still be another trip? Hmm... going to JP later return books and borrow some books. ^^

Today is a tired day. Yesterday, Juntee and i went to Bugis for an interview of the post " Event coordinator". Then the person asked us to come down today again as an observer to know what job they are doing. But Juntee said she was not feeling well and i was left alone. I went there but was late, resembling an ant in a hot wok. ( chinese saying) Well, i guessed i was the youngest there b'cox most of the other interviewees are about 17 years old. I met 3 girls from Hillgrove Secondary, was paired up by one of them with a funny guy and a small lady. Well, it turned out that the job was to ask for donations from others and earn commission from there. The pay is really good if you can asked for more donations whereby one can earn up to $100 a day if there are more kind-hearted people around. :) The fact is that i have did this before in Malaysia ( selling funfair tickets) , hence, i want to try a different kind of job . I yearned for something different from what i have previously done. Thus, wasn't having any high hopes on this job. =[ But the person was entertaining, i guessed. Then my other " partner" seems interested but her friends appears reluctant, so she rejects it and consider it again. I was also told to consider it again. Argh! I want a job that is stable. Sigh. NOw it seems that all jobs are so -.- Studying is better... :( My leg walked till pain. Throughout the observing process, there were a lot of rejections. Come to think of it, i also always shunned those people asking for donations. Hence, will feel quite guilty facing them. It is understandable for people's shunning action. There are just too many donations going on and we can almost see it everywhere in Jurong Interchange-so many flag days. The number of cheats are also increasingly high. =[ The poor and needy benefits the least as the trust that lies in many of us is diminishing. By the way, the "leaders" leading us in observing, i noticed, are mostly smokers. Today was quite alarmed at the number of people who smoke such as in places like " Raffles Place"... I was rather shocked when office ladies were taking a break with a cigarette in their hand. Beside them were their colleageas who came to accompany them. -.- I guessed i am still a school student, that explains why in my eyes, the large number of smokers were like doing a sin or illegal stuff . -INNOCENT STUDENT.
