Last day at work

This is kind of belated but I shall blog about the last day at work. 

I knew what to expect at work on the last day...a hurricane. And a hurricane of customers it was. They came in, touched all the scarves and created a mess that us poor things had to clean up. :/ 
The day passed by quickly. Before leaving, I managed to get my fellow colleagues' Facebooks. And I was pretty glad about that because they are quite nice. :) All the best to Javier and Angel for their O Level results! :)

Then Meiyi, Rennes, Wendy and I cabbed home. It was a pretty expensive ride so we're lucky that the Winter Time people are going to refund us the taxi fare. I reached home at about 1.10am in the morning. One of the latest I have reached home ever. 

Still waiting for salary. I DO wish it would come soon. At the end of the day, even with the aching legs, the experience was worth it. :) 

Fifty shades of Scarves

Since I have worked in the scarves department at the Winter Time Expo Fair and survived, I shall dedicate a whole post to pictures of scarves! xD Here goes:

Feelings are dumb

So I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I realised that minus the overly descriptive sex scenes, the plot is actually quite nice! *spoiler alert*

I was on the verge of tears when Anastasia was crying over Christian. Poor girl :( In love with a guy that wants to whip her for pleasure o.O *shudders* Someone said it's like Twilight. I beg to differ actually. This is much more easy to relate to because it's a human being and not a vampire! 

I really want to know what Christian looks like! He sounds so hot in the book. :X I wonder if they will turn this into an R-rated movie next time. And I wonder if I will actually watch it...

Anyways, going for work tomorrow. I need all the luck I can get. xD

1st and 2nd day at work

First day at work: 

Met Rennes outside JJC and we headed to Jurong East to take a train to Expo. My head was aching but I thought that it would be gone in a few hours time. Wendy thought that Rennes and I would be late but we arrived pretty much on time, thankfully. Upon arrival, I realised that I was overdressed. 

Our boss Pat, asked us to have our lunch first before starting work. The good thing about this job is that the meals are all provided and the food is quite good. Like, they had rice with egg, chicken, vegetables etc for lunch and for dinner they had 3 different types of noodles! Rennes and I were both posted to the hat department so we started work by taking hats out of their packaging and hanging them on the racks. There were a lot of them!! We finished just nice at 10.30pm. And my head continued throbbing all the way. It was exhausting. 

Originally my mom had asked me not to go for the job, and I was beginning to regret not listening to her. 

2nd day at work: 

On the second day, Wendy, Meiyi, Lapat and Sapol joined us for work. However, they shifted me to the scarves department. Standing for 12 hours straight is no joke. The soles of my feet were aching so bad I almost died. Every 3 hours I would take a toilet break just so that I could sit down and rest my feet. -.-

I was starting to get grumpy too. I have never folded so many clothes in my 18 years of life before.  When I worked at Sheng Siong and after working here, I realised the importance of studying. Because if I don't do well for my A Levels, I'm going to have to do such jobs and I swear I will hate my life. 

I guess the experience itself would have been cooler if so much physical pain wasn't involved. I'm not the only one who complained of aching bodies, I think everyone was. The best part was when I met really nice people like Angel, Javier and Stephanie from the scarf department. Angel and Javier are classmates and they are currently in the midst of their O levels. It would be so cool if they actually come to Jurong JC next time :D Steph is currently in ITE. 

The scarf department got scolded at the end of the night for slacking and talking too much. I have a point to make: Yes, we should get scolded for slacking. But as for the talking, if we kept silent our throbbing legs would make us feel horrible. By chit chatting we were able to distract ourselves from the misery. And anyways when you make new friends you are bound to chat a bit. 

I arrived at JP with Meiyi at 12.30. There were no more buses I could take home. I would have had to take a taxi if Meiyi's uncle didn't drive me home. So thankful to Meiyi and her uncle, aunt and dad for sending me all the way to the bus stop nearest to my house. 

Another lesson learned: When I grow up, I must buy a car as soon as possible. 

3rd day at work: 

Today's the third day and I didn't go. I was too tired, and my feet were aching like *insert vulgarity* So I went to the doctor's to get an MC. I'm going to work tomorrow. And tomorrow I am going to be more optimistic because it's the last day. I am going to entertain every single customer that comes my way. I am not going to slack or chit chat with my new friends. I am not going to grumble even if I have to fold the scarves a thousand times. I will be initiative. Oh, and at the end of the day I must get Angel, Javier and Steph's Facebooks. I can't afford to lose touch with such nice people. 

Ps. My doctor had bulging muscles...how distracting. :/

Holiday Job Hunting and Oral Presentation

On Tuesday, I went job hunting with Wendy and her classmates Meiyi, Rennes, Lapat and Lapat's bro Po. Actually It's ___po but I can't remember what's in front. OOps. 

All of them are such nice people so I didn't feel awkward at all. And I already know Meiyi because she was in my orientation group and Rennes was from drama. :) We talked about funny stuff on the MRT on the way to Tai Seng. Teased Rennes about An, asked Rennes who her actual crush is (she didn't say), talked about scary movies such as PA4, The Shining, Looper etc. 

And we all got the job. Hooray! :D Can't reveal too much details because we signed one of those confidentiality forms. However, I can reveal that we are working for Winter Time. 

Will be working there tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Will blog about my experiences on Monday after school :) 

Had my Oral Presentation today! We have rehearsed a lot of times but even an hour before the actual thing, our nerves were getting the better of us. I was stumbling, stuttering and fumbling while practicing. On the brighter side, the actual one went way smoother. However, I think I may have talked too fast. 

Now, I have some complaining to do. When we were the audience for the other two groups, I don't know about my other team mates but I know that Steph and I were giving encouraging nods and giving them small smiles. And after each speaker was done, my group would clap for them. But when it was our turn, they didn't even bother to. And no encouraging nod whatsoever. Seriously? 

I & R submission is this Friday and after that, it's all over!! One of the highlights of a JC student's life. The end of PW. Haha, shall go and sleep now. Nights :) 

Choices and regrets

Ok, so I am beginning to regret not doing well enough for the O Level exams to get into Ngee Ann Poly's mass communication course. I am regretting not choosing to go to Singapore Poly's Mass communication or Creative Writing for Television and New Media. THAT is me. Not the girl who is pretending to be interested in Physics, Chemistry and Math. Lies. A facade. 

I honestly considered asking my mom should I go to poly next year. I know it's a waste of time but I am worried that I may not get the jobs I want in the future if I don't have a diploma in it. I mean what good is a degree in Physics, Chemistry and Maths going to do in the media industry? Yes, I can take Mass Communication in University but I know that Poly covers more ground while at University they are concentrating more on Journalism and Public Relations. D: 

However, I have decided to trust God, or fate (if there is such a thing). I will study in JC and take Mass Comm. in Uni and pray that I still get the jobs I want. People may wonder why am I worrying abt it so fast, when I am still in year 1 of JC. Well, I like to think ahead. Because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If I don't succeed in the Singapore media industry I am going to New York, I swear. 

Speaking of New York, my aunt from New York called and said that although she has been affected by Hurricane Sandy, she and her family is safe. :) Thank goodness. phew~

OMG, the new Bollywood movie Shirin Aur Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi is being shown on TV for the first time! Yay! Watching it now! :)

Anyways, my class is doing our class CIP this November. We're organizing fun profession related activities for kids from Primary 4 to 6. Since I was in drama last time, I am in charge of the Actor profession along with Steph, Jasmine and Vanessa. So we have to come up with a script so that the kids can act according to it. Jasmine decided to take a scene out from Avengers, and I decided to take a scene out of Harry Potter. I picked a scene from the Goblet of Fire. I hope the kids like it :D 

A trip to the clinic

Went to the doctor's with my mom today. We arrived at 8.58am. The clinic was supposed to be open at 9am. Guess what? It opened at about 9.15, and then the doctor came at 9.40. What is this? Whatever happened to being punctual? Time is precious people!

The worst part is that there was a woman clutching at her stomach and groaning in pain. I felt so scared for her...it seemed really serious! My mom and I had the first queue number and she had the 2nd one. But since I felt scared for her I asked my mom if she was willing to let her go first. My mom said okay so we let her go first :)

Damn, I can't write much, got a splitting headache :( Bye, will blog again soon!
