Hey guys!!! I have not been blogging for a few days because i'm very tired and i need to work. So now i shall give an update but it won't be that detailed because it is already very late now and tomorrow i still got to work. As for the rest of the photos, i will upload it some other time once i got it and when i'm, free. Ok then, i'll end here. Cya!!!
On sunday, it is x'mas eve. We met each other up at khatib MRT station at 7.30 pm. Then we took the train to plaza sing. After that, we went to have our dinner at KFC. Then at about 10 pm, we walk about at orchard road. We bought the spray foam to spray each other. Many outsiders also went to spray at us. However, after a short while at orchard area, we decided to get out of that place as it is too crowded. Everyone of us have difficulty walking about. Some people at there are really sick!!! They took eggs and threw it around. Then we also took some photos. We went home at about 1+ am.
On monday, james and i went to causeway point to visit yiyan at work. We waited for her to finish work and then we went to have dinner at the food court. After that, we went to walk around first. At about 9+, we went home.
Now, i will be giving some updates about my first 2 days of work. yesterday is my first day of work. When i reached there, i went to change. After that, one of the staff(daniel), an indian guy, for strongman department which is my department went to show my other 2 part-time strongman colleagues(syahmi and nigel) and me around. After that, he took us to outport which is the storeroom to start working. We carried and shift some shelfs and racks around. It is damn heavy. Less than an hour after i start work, i got a very small cut on my hand. I got cut from a sharp corner of a rack. I also need to push those gondola around. It is very heavy but luckily there are wheels below for me to push otherwise i sure cannot manage it. Pushing something heavy with wheels is not much of a problem. I also need to wrap those stuffs with a stingwrap. At first i dunno how to wrap one. But one of the staff(karma), taught me how to wrap and i finally knew how to do it already. My supervisor name is muthu. He is an indian guy. He looks fierce from his face and the way he talk. However, after i get to know him better, he is not really that fierce and he can also be nice. My manager name is mr yip. This manager is also a nice guy. He will ask us if we are hungry and whether we need our dinner now. He also call us to take breaks at times and go to the canteen to get some water. At about 5+, there are 2 more part-timers(gavin and keng shen) came and they are also working working me as well. Then at about 6+, i went for my dinner break with syahmi and nigel. We went to centrepoint macdonalds to have our dinner. While having dinner, we chit chat with each other to get to know each other better. After dinner, we went back to continue working. This time, i got to work with a worker(phillip) who is deaf and mute. He is so pityful. Sometimes, i will have difficulty communicating with him as i have to use sign language. I worked till 11 pm. There are blisters and scratches on my hands. Damn!!! Nevermind!!! Even though it is tough, at least i still get to train myself for NS. When i dismiss from work, i waited for robinson at somerset MRT station as he is just working nearby me and he also finishes work about the same time as me. Then we took the train and went home.
Today is my 2nd day of work. Reached work at about 2 pm. Then went to outport to wait for instructions. After that, phillip called me and syahmi to help shift those shelfs down to transfer it to the truck. After that, we went back to outport to carry stands and shelfs to the bed linnen section as they wanna change to a new set. We also transferred the gondola back to outport. At about 5+, nigel, gavin and keng shen went home as they are in the morning shift while syahmi and me went to ramen ten for dinner. After dinner, went back to continue working with phillip and syahmi. Some stuffs are really super heavy until i have really no strength to carry them. So syahmi and phillip help me. So damn paiseh!!! They can carry them but i couldn't. This shows that i'm still weak. I must continue training myself up. I finished everything at about 10 pm. Mr yip asked us to go home early as nothing is needed to be done for that day already. So he told me to come tomorrow at 1 pm to make up my working hours, but i told him i couldn't as i need to go to school to collect my good progress award. So he told me to come on friday at 1 pm lor. After i knock off, i walked and have some chat with syahmi to orchard. After that, we went home.
Overall, my job is tough but still manageable. No matter what, i must continue to persevere for another 3 more days of work. After that, i still got to find another job. The people there at work are quite nice. My new friends are also nice. Anyway, this job is a lot better than seiyu. Although it is tough, there is still something for me to do and it won't be sian. Not like seiyu just stand down there do nothing and then the time take so long to past. Some more this job as a strongman i get to earn $6.50 per hour rather than seiyu which is only $4 per hour.
Ok, regarding the photos for christmas eve, i only have one now and i will post it here below. It is the photo of the 4 girls(yanrong, eliza, yiyan and amanda).

Hey guys!!! I had just returned home from causeway point and now i'm going to update.
Yesterday, i received a letter and it is CDC Good Progress Award. I'm so surprise that i got it and it is $150. I never do well for my prelims i still can get. So surprised!!!
Now i can't work in John Little liao as they never called me. Among us, only yiyan managed to get the job in John Little. So i have no choice but to look for other jobs.
Then today i left the house at 1 pm. I went to met my primary school buddy, liangqin at yishun MRT station. Then we took the train and proceed to woodlands. After that, we went to causeway point to look for jobs. First, we went to Samuel and Kevin. But then the cashier said we need to go to marina square for interview. Then we went to sportslink. The cashier said that they want to hire 1 person only. I asked how much is the pay. She said it is only $4 per hour. Damn!!! The pay is so less. Since the pay is so less. I did not want the job. After that, we proceed to the food court for lunch. After lunch, we proceed to popular bookshop but then they only want to employ full-time staff. WTF!!! Next, we proceed to Crystal Jade restaurant but they already hired enough staffs. Sianx!!!! Then we proceed to some shops like cards 'n' such, hallmark, gift a name and i asked them a question which is 'excuse me, do you have any job vacancies for part-timers here?' They just replied a 'No'. I was like sian lor!!! They dun wanna employ anymore workers. Haiz!!! Then we proceed to kiddy palace and there is also no job vacancy there. I was like wtf!!! After that, we proceed to converse, x-craft and royal sporting house and there is also no job vacancy there. Then we proceed to bata and they said they have 3 vacancies left for part-timers but then it is only for short-term from 27 december to 7 january and the pay is $4 per hour. Since the pay is so low and it is only for a very short term, we dun want the job. Then we proceed to jacksplace. We filled up the form and then they said the pay is $4.50 per hour and we must wait for call. After that we proceed to hangten but they only want to hire full-time staff. After that, we went to pastamania but then they said they du need any more workers at the moment. Then we went to a $1 shop. Outside they display said cashiers and sales assistant needed. We thought finally we should get a job. But however, they said they only want full time staff and our age must be 20 and above, WTF!!! After that we went to Bee Cheng Hiang. We thought there will be chance getting a job there since chinese new year is coming. But then the supervisor and manager is not around, so we just fill up the form 1st and have to wait for call. After that, we proceed to bengawan solo, breadtalk and fourleaves but they said they had already hired enough workers. Damn it!!! Then we proceed to Ichiban restaurant. They asked us to fill up the form. After that the manager ask us a few questions and we asked her a few questions. At first, i thought the manager is a guy but in the end she is an woman. She's so tomboy lor. Only until i hear her voice then i realise that she's an woman. The starting pay for us will be $4 per hour and slowly it will increase to $5 per hour. The manager said that she will discuss with another manager 1st and then will give us a call latest by friday. After that, we felt very tired already. So we took the train home.
Ok guys, i noe my post seems to be very boring and u all may read until u all want to sleep liao. I apologise for it. Anyway, as for the chances for those jobs to call, i'm not so sure but i think most likely i will reject these jobs because being a waiter doesn't suits me. So now i have to go find other jobs lor. To those who have not gotten a job as well, faster go find and good luck to u all as well.
Ok then, i'll end here. Cya!!!
