Drinking drinking n drinking...

haha... these days I have 'ahmad'(chauffeur) driving me around to eat and enjoy.. His car is cool man.. Don't think I will have the ability to buy man! its Fun.. but boy, it is damn tired especially I have to work the very next day. He brought me to places in Singapore which I have never been before and it is definitely beautiful. Have been having wines and martell these days.. All sorts man! Been to nightclub as well; a place which I have been hoping to explore and see how they work.

Here comes my long awaited leave! from 31st July - 10 August!!! 11 days! haha... Might be flying over to bangkok(again) with my cuz and a short trip to KL. Not confirmed yet.. Shall head back to my comfy bed and ZzzzZZ....

Small get2gether.. great movie.. gd evening!

so glad that my poly cozmates and I can meet up for a movie, dinner then a drink plus a great game of pool.. haha! really missed those poly daes.. talking about some of our cozmates.... memories came pouring in my mind...

the time has come!!! To organise the annual coz gathering! hehe.. very excited when i think of it.. no matter be it only a few turn up or a large grp, i believe we do enjoy the fun time we have had from the past gatherings..

I have been watching the korean drama till late nites these days.. super tired but I can't wait to finish all the 70 episodes!!! This drama is rather meaningful.. Besides seeing what North Korean's King eat, as well as the essence of food and how to appreciate food, be it normal plain vegetables or feast.

At work, I have to keep everything in order yet seeing one of my team member not to be at the counter and not letting others know her whereabouts, really pissed me off. Seeing others work doubly hard(though, slow), she can't be so irresponsible isn't it? haiz.. Not once or twice but a few times, talked to her about it. Instead of taking it positively, she keeps self defending herself etc.. She can be sarcastic in a way telling me she is heading toliet after I have talked to her. Anyway, she is about her 30s, had 14 years of retail experience yet I feel not being humble. Only one thing I can see in her; the knowledge of 'GENG'(act blur/self defend). Does not work on me, I am not stupid. haha.. I am sorry.

I appreciate staff who can work smart and hard as well as even better than me. It reflects on me as well. I shall see her performance for these few weeks.. Gonna come up a small practical/theory test for them. Want to see how much they know after being in the company for a month. ;P

Incomplete ... Life.

hw fast time flies man.. another 5 mths, I'm turning 24. I just had this feeling within me that my life is not complete. Lovelife - don't want to talk about it. Friendship - not too bad.. Still have friends to hang out with. Career - I don't think I have a career at the moment, even I have a stable job and income. Financial Status - Stable but do not seemed to be able to save much.

Just met up with one of my friends lately, talked about topics on love, career and marriage. I can feel that I was so much in love months back which didn't work out in the end. Hence, all the way till now I am still single. I have friends whom have several suitors and bfs, enjoying love showering on them. Perhaps like what my friend has mentioned. The time has not come yet. Be it for my career or love/marriage. I can see my guy friends tolerating their unreasonable gfs throwing tantrums on them, still holding on their so-called relationship.

I am just a accomdating gf in the past which my gal friends tell me I shouldn't be so. In the end, I turned out to be a 'childish' gf just like years back when we were together as perceived by my ex. Hey guys, listen hard ok. I helped my bf with his uni project tabulating data of 3 companies' full range of products and he commented that the data can't substantiate his project's objective. All right, I went all the way to get some important retailer data which I accompanied the person to drink in return and he isn't the least concern whether I am safe alone or what time I will be home. In the end, he just told me the data is not of use to him at all. Heartbroken totally... I still work shifts and tabulates his data till late nights. He left me without any notice and can tell his friends that he thought I have matured after all these years and turned out to the same old me years back. Especially the fact he perceived to his friends as a form of relief leaving me. He didn't even bother to straighten things out. Yah, the same old me. I just give my heart to him again despite he left me years back. How foolish can I be...

Glued to my cable tv...

Daejanggeum 대장금

大长今 , is one of the korean dramas I will reccomend to watch. Daejanggeum(长今) is that the main character is a woman while the setting is in Joseon Dynasty, where the social role of women was very low. The character overcomes her difficulties through hard work. This is why the story is different from the others.The main character, Seo Janggeum, spends her childhood with her parents in a town for butchers. Her parents live in the town secretly and avoid people because they were involved in a scandal. One day, there is an incident in which the king kills many of his servants, and Janggeum has to part with her father while her mother dies. A high priest told his father that his fate lies between 3 women. One is the queen whom he kills but fails to die, the second woman(his wife) is one whom he will save but will die for him and the third woman(长今) will lead to his death but became a great woman who will save a lot of lives.

She enters the palace when she is 10 years old, and works hard to become the best cook in the palace. However others plot against her and her teacher and mentor, Han. They are expelled from the palace and relegated to become maidservants at local government offices. Janggeum is sent to Jeju where she learns about medicine. She later enters the palace again, and becomes the very first female doctor in the palace. She is the first woman in the history of Joseon Dynasty to become the king's doctor. In an ancient record called Jungjongsilloc, "dae (great)" was included in her name when she was referred to, and this shows the accomplishments she has made.

The determination you can see from 长今 is very touching. It has a total of 70 episodes. Instead of catching it on my cable, I decided to purchase it. No wonder, my friend keeps telling me that it is a great hit in HK, Taiwan and Malaysia. This is the link where I got the storyline from: http://www.knto.or.kr/eng/hallyu/daejanggeum.html

Overview:

At the end of a fashion show, the internationally renowned fashion designer NICK YAU (TSE KWAN HO) walks onto the stage amidst rapturous applause together with top model ELAINE POON (NG MEI HENG, MELISSA), the angel of his heart who inspires him to greatness. All fabulous costumes and the brightly lit catwalk make it an enthralling show to enjoy.NICK has high expectations on new designers MICHELLE KU (WU, MYOLIE), PHOEBE LUI (LI CHOI WA, RAIN) and ELLA KWAN (CHAN MAN CHI, SHARON). MICHELLE's grandfather KU CHUN KAU is NICK's mentor. Because of his relationship with KAU, NICK puts even higher demands on MICHELLE.

This show is about fashion designers. From TVB. Kinda interesting and worth watching. especially the part when Michelle holds back her love for Nick. Read online that Nick did fall for Michelle and promised to wait for her till she comes back. The usual storyline. Happily ever after.. Haha.. Do check out these 2 dramas when you are free.

End of 2 days' hibernation...

I have been sleeping these two days all the way.. 12-14 hrs man. Felt kind of bad especially my mum's wrist has not recovered and I am not helping out in the house chores. But, please forgive me.. I am really that tired that I can sleep as early as 11pm. After I woke up, it is about 2plus in the afternoon, half of my day is gone. Had my lunch while watching my favourite korean drama and ZzzzZZ on my comfortable sofa. PIG right? Just do not want to think of anything and relax at home.. Have been asked by my friends to go out a few times but I just want to stay home man..

AT LAST, I stepped out of my house to meet up with my friend(supposedly to eat waffle!!) Instead, we went to walk around in the tampines pasar malam.. This time is worse than the last time.. Don't go even though u have the time.. you will only to find out more all less there are more than 5 stalls selling the same stuff/food. Boring! Anyway, got some buns for my mum and sister. I felt bloated.. perhaps due to the amout of food I had these days.. HAHA... I am looking forward to meet up with my friends; Jayne and Anthea!! Next friday, gonna be fun for sure. Though, we met up during one of my one hour break, I felt we have so much to GOSSIP about man. NAH, should be so much to CATCH UP on.. HAHA... Sunday is my next off day!! Replacement off for my one pathetic off day during the sales. Ta!

boring day...

An image taken while waiting for my bus 518.

This date - 09 July, I can actually remember what has happened last year. Things were not the same anymore. haha. Met my ex colleague but going to be colleagues again when boarding the bus. Tomorrow is early shift for me. I have so many things on hand which I cannot execute at all. I need to come up with a set of rules and procedures for the next season. Everything was in a mess when I took over the other store. Things that were sent out, were not recorded at all. Instructions passed down was not being carried out. The pace and sudden drop of manpower at times(mgrs tend to need my cashiers to help them) can't let me have time to train the new cashiers.

I need a break man when these things are done. Gonna head for ZzzzZZ... Cheers!

Nice Dinner.. Nice hairstyle.. and Nite out!

today is my off day! went for dinner @Marriot. The buffet spread isn't that fantastic compared to the one I have had @Ocars(Conrad Hotel, if you do not know) The dessert is nice. Look at the spread man... I have a sweet tooth by the way. Haha.. After having oysters, crayfish, roasted beef and desserts, went to Double O with my friends. Can't imagine there are guys saying I am 19-20.

Anyway, they are younger than me and backed off. Met this cute HK guy, he is not as tall compared to all my exs. haha. Boyish but can't make it man though he is the same age as me.. Can't imagine if we were to date, it seemed like I am dating a younger guy. HAHA. Before that, went for a haircut. My fringe is shorter than before. I like my new hairstyle. Thanks to Andy, my hairstylist for years!

Got to rest.. Kinda tired man.. ZzzzzZZ

OH god... Give me a break man...

I hate this year man.. What's wrong?? Firstly, I finally found out myself he is attached. Such a thoughtful bf indeed. We were talking more than usual the day before, seemed like we can clique very well. Luckily, I didn't harbour much hopes cos' I know most of the guys which attracted me are attached. Sad to say but it is true. I am rather disappointed in relationships or should I say the guys that I have met... Love is not as simple as it seemed to be..

Secondly, when I am back from work, my internet is not working!! Found out that its the wireless adaptor's problem. I reinstalled the driver and my router can't detect my adaptor in the end. I lost the router's manual for configuration. Now, I am using my 3 metres long cable to surf. What can be better than this man?!

Thirdly, I didn't get in for one of the interviews which I went. Not that disappointing, just want to give it a try.

Fourthly, I was being reprimanded by my GM cos' of the finance people got confused of the documents I have submitted. Seems like there is no secret in my company, other store's manager can ask me, 'Heard you got into trouble again(gdness, am I deemed to be a person who is so incompetent??)' What's that 'again' supposed to mean man! I am alright with the part that my GM raising her voice cos' I can understand her point but what's wrong with these people? It was such a small matter and it became such a hot topic for them. I am immune to all these already. You can't prevent people from gossiping and shut their mouths.

Lastly, this guy whom I knew through my friend, he is charming.. but just that he is those 'career-minded' type. This one I can be sure he does have certain liking towards me. As for the details, it is secret. Haha.. Anyway, I don't feel like talking to him anymore. Though just met recently, I do not like guys who went MIA and can msg me I am not MIA just very busy these days. Yah, cos of his job, he will be very busy. He can meet my friend, not me. What you think then? Avoiding... Cos he just do not want to face me. Forget about it. No guys under my shortlisted list already. Won't have any for the being time... Can't be bothered anymore.

His birthday coming soon.. haha.. I still remember his smiles and anxiety when he received his present last year. Wondering he is still using it. Nah, don't think so, perhaps there's a special someone by his side already or his money rolling in which is much happier for him than others. Who knows.. Listening to the songs which he sang with his guitar.. yah, he can sing very well.. Got to go rest. Tmr n the day after is my off day!!! AT LAST!!! need to rest as much as I can. Gosh, my right eye's pain is coming back again.. nite!

Last day of catered food

For these four days of sales, I have been having catered food delivered by our storeguys. Not bad especially the Changi Nasi Lemak. Today, I had it again.. As you can see, that is the tea break(fried tapioca, banana etc) that I had and packets of Nasi Lemak in the red plastic bags. I didn't take the dinner which is nasi goreng(malay fried rice), was too full to have it. I was so tired and slept throughout the whole journey of my express bus journey.

The upcoming roster sucks totally. Work and off then work and off again for 3 times in a roll! Tried to analyse the roster but seemed like noone is able to exchange shift for straight continuous off days. I want to apply for LEAVE!!! Seeing my excess hours accumulating, I can't to help to think how I wish they can be converted to money. Else, let me have a week's off from work man. Feel like heading Genting, just like the cooling air... breeze esp at night.. On my way to get Mrs Field's cookies(LUV 'em man!) before heading home, I saw a car had the same character prints as Jay's family car in the movie; Initial D. Cool man!

I really don't know why he can talk so casually with my other colleagues but not me. I feel he does take note of the way he carries himself in front of me. Whenever our eyes met, he gives me a unknown feeling that cannot be explained. Felt that perhaps I am just being over paranoid. Ermzzz... woman's instincts are normally correct cos' we are sensitive! haha. I still remember the incident when I wanted him to help me get a particular size for an item, I saw him in the mirror reflection and I waved at him. Guess what he did? Normally, a guy would have a gesture of asking what's up? He didn't instead he WAVED BACK AT ME in the mirror reflection. HAHAHAHA.. a real classic joke man. I still recall he was rather much embarrassed and walked to me when I asked him to come over. He don't joke to me as what he does to my other colleagues.. What's wrong man? Even when closing, I happened to look up and realised that he was actuallly looking at me(for sure, cos I am the only person at the counter). HAHA. I am definitely not that thick skinned. But, heard from one colleague that he is single, another said he should be attached. Whatever... so what? no use pondering when he is so shy towards me. For this year, I am not as hopefully as before in my life.

Got to rest... eyes are closing again... ZzzzzZzzz

Day 3 of Sales...n its a SAT

Today was a quiet day, kinda weird for a normal saturday. Though my queue was pretty long towards the end of the day but overall was alright. Just that my eyes are tired... Tell you for this season's sales, I think I'm gonna gain weight man. I can have my lunch break at 2pm, tea break at 4pm and dinner at 5-6pm. Had a pathetic looking chicken rice(the chicken is undernourished for sure) for my lunch, kuehs for tea break and bee hoon goreng for dinner..

Had my hazenut latte again cos' I can barely open my eyes man. I had 3 hrs of sleep for last night. Feeling kinda weird at work again. He looks at me as if he has things to tell me else to think him as a bad guy, he want to mislead me. He is charming so it is alright for my eyes to rest and see nice things. HAHA. One of my capable cashier is transferring to another store. -_-

I pity the new cashiers in the sense that they do not have proper training and everything they learnt, they have to absorb asap. See one of these days when I am off, I shall draft out a Cashier Manual. hahahaha. I requested for a week's leave a mth ago and was promised that I can take at the end of the sales which should be around next week or so. In the end, the next two weeks' roster is out. I want to submit a leave application form but was told it was too early to submit. Now, I didn't get my leave and still acumulating. My hours are adding on which can't be claimed easily(it's my hours, goodness' sake!). My leave is reaching up to 30 days inclusive public holidays.

Really have no idea what is wrong with my company... Sometimes I do not even want to stay back late after working hours but I really do not have the choice when I have outstanding matters on hand, in the end, my OT is not counted due to the manager on duty did not sign to acknowledge. Come on, who do not want to go back early to rest, cos we are commited to our job and our responsibility towards it. They do not buy that point and claimed that there are staff who dilly dally and company do not pay you for that. What about commited staff?? Is it fair for them? Anyway, everything is unfair.. Noone to blame but take it easy. Hey, I have added a tag board. do tag hor... Hahahhahahaha.... got to go.. tata!

Day 2 of sales...

The headache is killing me.. I think its due to insufficient rest I have had the past days. I am supposed to be in morning shift tomorrow and was changed last minute this afternoon. I feel my head is gonna burst anytime. The non stop queue and half an hr breaks is making my stomach and brain suffer. I feel my digestive system is gonna break down anytime. On lighter note, my ex col; Douglas came down to look for me. hahaha.. Can't take it anymore ..Im heading to bed...ZZzzzZZZ

First day of Sales

Today's figures were good compared to last season's. Very busy day again.. had 2 half an hr breaks which made me feel the indigestion that is happening right now in my stomach. This is going to carry on for another 3 days! Feel like vomitting man.. The lunch was nice.. had the famous Changi nice lemak, followed by a short tea break - Old Chang Kee's curry puff and the unpleasant mee goreng.

Not forgetting the endless queue for all my 3 depts' counters, there is a caucasian guy who just want to collect his altered pants to attend a function. I really have no idea why the matter was mishandled so badly. Firstly, I believe that should any case happens, we should not let the customer wait for so long. If it's our fault, just come up with a quick solution and get the management's approval or decision and get done with. By not doing this, the customer was so furious and shouted at the person and delaying his time. (See, what I mean?) He was so exact with the no. of minutes he has waited for this action to be taken, so on and so forth. 'I waited for u for 15 mins and this person attended to me and waited for a total of 55 mins.' He was trying to make a big fuss out of this matter. Raising his voice and bad mouthing our company and the country he is in - Singapore. I can't believe it. He was saying that Singapore has the worst customer service... my company can't compensate him for his time. Come on, get a life man. If your time is that valuable, does a pair of $89 pants matter to you so much that you are disgracing yourself and the country you are from? I just felt that if the particular person can't handle the matter, she should brought up to my boutique manager instead of finding the pants here and there when it is confirmed that it is not in the store? The customer insulted my colleague as well, saying ' an ah beng looking guy .....' I don't want to go into details. Lastly, my boutique manager steps in and I can see her blood shot eyes man. My male colleague cried... yah.. He is those full of himself type of guys, imagine he actually cried in the locker room.

Have not been handling complaints ever since a new rule is out that no staff(yah, I am incl. hahaha) is allowed to handle any complaints. I will never let any of my cashiers be insulted in that manner. Hahaha.. Those glorious days.. memorable.. I love handling complaints. Received a letter of compliments as well. So shocked the person actually wrote in.. Talking about customer service, my company recommended 3 persons to this customer service award thingy. They sent one who works SUPER slow and loves to 'EAT SNAKE'. I can't believe what they see in him.

Doesn't matter to me anymore. After what has happened months back, I don't think I can progress in my company anymore. I kept motivating myself but facts are facts. BLAH! I still have interviews ahead! Life is full of opportunities, right??? OKOK!!! I will remind myself everytime. haha. Just hope he will be by my side, at least I have someone to tell what happens every day in my life. Sharing a part of my life with that special someone. hahaha.. Nah.. Guys nowadays are afraid to be commited to relationships 'cos they had bad experiences before.. Try not to think much.. It kills my brain cells and slows down my heart beat(as if). Alright, got to get my beauty sleep for tomorrow! Nights! Not many stars tonight though.. haha....
