erhem!!!!

This post should be posted on 28 DEC.....and hence....when I say "today"....that means on the day 28 Dec itself!!

"I'm so gonna miss everything, including all the quarrels and conflicts..." said Cempakah.



TODAY IS MY LAST DAY IN ROYCE.



Yuppie. Though I did not really work for many days there, but at least I develop some feelings to the job and the place, regardless whether it is positive or negative.



More of negative in fact, as you can seen from my previous posts.



But in fact, I do enjoy some parts of the job, the fun and good side of it, such as going home with Shahid or/and Edison, gift wrapping for customers who do appreciate and give praises, Yaseer's lecturing, the sneaking of choco samples....



What is the best of this job would be that I am earning money yet also doing one of my favourite hobbies-eating chocolates!!!



There's always a never-ending supply of chocolates.



I do get reprimanded by customers and get into conflicts with my colleagues.

I do detest this job to the core before.

I do feel hate myself for biting my pride for the money.



But now??!!!



I don't know.



What a mixture of feelings within me.



I'll still miss everything.



The busy period.

The people.

The chocolates.



From tml onwards,

I don't get to eat chocolates for free.

I don't get to sleep on buses while waiting for my destination to be reached.

I don't get to reach home at around 12 plus.

I don't get to go home with Shahid and Edison and talk all we want from the start to the end of the journey.

I don't get to hear interesting stories from Cempakah they all.

I don't get to get scolded by Farhana.(yah. as if I like this too.)

I don't get to get free green tea samples from the auntie who's working next to us.

I don't get to be scolded by customers.





And I would be back to my insipid life(not totally!)



But like what Yaseer said today, " I'll so gonna miss you guys. At least CHRISTMAS is something different. We are busy. I meet challenges which I need time to solve. I'll get to hear interesting stories from you guys. But after you guys leave, its all back to.....square one. The normal routine repeats again and again. Nothing gets out of place. No more stories to listen...."





I am greeted by a SWEET HI by Farhana today.

She treated me like exceptionally good today?

I have no idea why but she is LIKE REALLY GOOD TODAY.



At night, the photo-taking session begins.

The photos with some of my best colleagues.



Those who really treat me well and I ALSO GET ALONG WELL WITH THEM too.





And it is like SO FUN today.



When it is at night, Edison and me went all crazy and began to make fun of Shahid.



And I realise the really good part of this job only by ytd and today.



Mel, unexpectedly, is amiable and friendly when I went to the main counter to help ytd.

She even praises me that I am actually quite fast.



She also said today, "REGINA IS GOOD. SHE IS HARDWORKING......Its just that she's like a robot sometimes."


Then MRT-ED home with Shahid and Edison and talked and talked.



I didn't know that I can talk so much with guys whom I have not known for very long. WOW!



But today is so fun, and I so hope that only TOMORROW WILL BE MY LAST DAY( which is same as Shahid they all).





Its been a really good experience and beautiful memories.



ANW. Did i mention that I saw Mr Lee Jian Wei and Hui Jin today.



They said, "HELLO"!


ok. THATS ALL!!!

Hi!

I am obviously tired again, and just wish that Sunday would come earlier.

First of all, I would like to thank CANDICE GOH for coming all the way to my doorstep to give me the belated birthday presents, which include a pen that I wanted to buy the last time, and I would like to thank WeiLing, Jie Wei, QiYuen and Kaiting for contributing to the presents=)

Secondly, I was very SUAY today.
~I walked all the way to the lrt(and did not take bus 922 which is so near as I think I would be late if I take it) so that I could alight at phoenix for bus 190.
~when I come out of the lrt station, I saw a bus which looked like bus 190 and I RAN and CHASED after it.
~I realiseD i TOOK THE WRONG BUS AND I alighted at bpp interchange
~I waited for bus 700 instead, while seeing bus 922 reach bpp interchange too.boo~~
~I was caught in a bloody traffic jam outside Orchard due to last night CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION.
~I have no choice but to alight at FAR EAST as I am already 15 mins late.
~I RAN all the way from Far East to TAKA.( serious!)
~I was 35mins late.

Thirdly, I went home with Tan Wan Xuan and Edison and we really had a whale of time.

Fourthly, I worked at the main counter in the evening.

Fifthly, I SAW MR KOK CHUN HOU AT TAKA STAFF CANTEEN TODAY.
I was so shocked and went up to him as I don't really recognize him in that blue long-sleeved blouse and TIE(huh? Mr KOK IS WEARING A TIE??).
I wanted to ask him whether he stole his dad's clothes in order to work here, but decided not to.
Yep. And Goh Xin Yi, Josephine and a guy( from 4L1), came to say HELLO to me today.
And Hui Jin( my taka colleague working upstairs) finally realise that I am also working at taka thoguh I SAW HER BEFORE and said HELLO!

FINALLY, GOODNIGHT.
 
Thursday, December 25, 2008
 
Hi peepo, I am seriously tired and sick of acting at a pace that really don't suits me.

And yep.
I have been continuously working for more than 10days.

I took the bus with Shahid today although I thought of taking the MRT due to the irritating traffic jam at Orchard ytd which delayed me.

We had a heart-to-heart talk.(not really totally actually. I still had second thought of telling him too much)

But we do talked all the way from the start to the end of the journey.

Franking speaking, I was thinking ytd night that today would be my last day.
However, whenever NANA(my supervisor) asks me whether I wanna work the next day, I would agree immediately.

Why?
For the money of course.

not for the people there.(colleagues lah!)

Those colleagues that are really sincere to me have left ytd(last day work), and Elaine, Xin Fang and Wan Xuan are no longer present.

And hence, I turned moody today again.

Frankly speaking, most of the colleagues there are really FAKE and insincere and are just using each other.

I do know that most of the Royce staff( those who worked there for very long le) like Farhana, Dewi, Cempakah( I'm not afraid of listing names as they will never come by here!), dislike me.

And I do know that they had been bad-mouthing me behind my back(but oops! I did overhear their conversation on several occasions).

But hey!

I prefer to plough through all the unhappiness and humilation and continue until when I can stop.

And seriously, I just feel really humilated at times.

But so what?
I think my pride has been totally lost all this while doing this job already.

I missed the VERY-CROWDED- PEAK CHRISTMAS PERIOD when there's queues and hordes of people and my best friends and ,the new colleagues( different people!), and my sister's old classmates, and when THERE'S MANY THINGS TO DO.(although its been one day only)

I prefer to be loaded with many things.
I love to be busy.

keeps my mind off from silly things.

And I missed the gift-wrappers including Elaine, Xin Fang, Wan Xuan, and all the newbies who came one-day only.

We sneaked behind and stole choco samples tgt.
We talked.
We even talked before the customers while gift-wrapping.

SO WHAT'S LEFT OF ME NOW?

Everyone has left.
The customer volume dropped drastically from ytd to today.

No more queues.
Nothing much to do except to look in a daze( I cnt get along with the remaining colleagues. I'll rather save my pride that's left so little, than to turn pretentious and chat to them as if I do not know that they dislike me. Moreover, they speak Malay and I don't know any single word they are saying)
The customers are not really nice sometimes.
They are picky and fussy.
They just show you atttitude and think that you are SUPPOSED to serve them like KINGS AND QUEENS.

esp. those self-thought-high-class-people.
They think that they pay and should fel pampered.
But hello!
You pay for the products but not our services!
Moreover, what can you expect friom FREE GIFT-WRAPPING SERVICES?

I can still rmb a WOMAN who "gave a talk" to us on SERVICES.
What I was thinking is what the hell? WHo ARE YOU??? Some self-thought inspirational character?
The situation is like this:
She realises that she cannot differentiate the Nama choco which have been wrapped and thinks we are irresponsible(partly my fault as I nvr label),
She began to nag," What kind of service is this??? You should make service personalised......service...SERVICE.....SERVICE..."

Assy.

But some customers are real nice and brighten up my day today.
A handsome chap praised my wrapping today by saying,"its real nice".
another guy gave me a look which really tells me that he appreciates the wrapping a lot.( though I think he's 放电-ing lah)

I also cannot stand mothers/aunties/couples/teenagers calling me "AUNTIE" OR "MADAM".

Its in such a case, when a kid wanna take some christmas stickers from my counter, and the mother goes, " Hey! You can't take that!! Ask AUNTIE'S permission first!!!"

Excuse me? Your age can be my mum ok?

Anw, I am obviously pissed today again by another colleague which showed me her tough attitude, and indirectly saying that I am ill-mannered, by saying, " CAN'T YOU AT LEAST SAY EXCUSE ME"?

Then the taka auntie cashiers attitude-ed me also.

F***.

I am feeling damn pissed seriously.

Am I really too dumb and stupid, or just innocent and blur(euphemism huh)?

Anw, I have finally decided that I WILL GO TO THE CLASS CHALET IN JAN.
I believe that if the response to this chalet is bad, there will be no more GATHERINGS in the future!!!!

And I really don't wanna see that as I know that my classmates are better and far more sincere to me compared to my shitty fake colleagues.

Anw, I MISS SCHOOL LIFE.
I miss the teaching.
I miss homework.
I miss exams.
I miss classes.
I miss the nervous anticipation for the ringing of school bell for recess/end of school.
I miss school pals.
I miss CO.
I miss juniors.
I miss teachers.

There's lot for me to grudge and grumble about.

Working pace is really too fast and unsuitable for me who is too blur and forgetful and dumbass.

And I BELIEVE, WITH MY CONFIRMATION, ELAINE LIM AND CHUA XIN FANG WILL MAKE THEIR CONFIRMATION ALONG WITH ME just like when we were discussing this matter during work.AM I RIGHT?lolx!=X
 
 
"A person who makes his promise but breaks it later is not worth to be called a human."

I saw this quote on someone's blog a few days ago.

It stirred feelings within me.

Of course PROMISES do have an ambiguous meaning to some ppl.

"I keep my promise and break it later as forced by circumstances."

How FUNNY it is ah.

Yup.
actually what I wanna write today has totally nth to do with PROMISES.

But PUTTING ONESELF INTO OTHERS' SHOES.

and sparing feelings.

and thinking of others.

and being thankful to what the others do for you which they have totally HARMLESS intentions but is actually contorted.

THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY.

I am just seriously very unhappy today.

Esp. this customer who aggravated my day by stating that my ribbons are aweful and terrible and hence SIMPLY SAID, not to be exquisite enough to be given as a gift or instead, has lowered her status.

ANW, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Today was so fun, so fun that i forgot my tiredness.

I have been getting well along with my colleagues.

But its a bore that I only get to know them well when the work's going to end.

AND I JUST REALISE THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH MY SIS'S SEC SCH CLASSMATES!!!!
I was really surprised that Xiao Ping, Ming Yue, and Vivien were my sis's friends.

WOW.

WHAT A SMALL WORLD.

ANW.I had an exciting and most fulfiling break today.

I ate with Filzah, Edison and Dayrl(I think this is his name?)

Edison was really damn funny throughout the break and I think all of us really nearly choked on our food.

Anw, it is REALLY BUSY TODAY.

I reached earlier and worked earlier than my supposed-to-be shift.

The queue for gift-wrapping was really long today as compared to normal.

Anw, I worked FREE OVERTIME today as the customers are still not gone yet by 10.30pm.

Xiaoping, Filzah and me, being really grudged, went to grab handfuls of chocolates, insisting secretly that this would be our REWARD for OT.

And hence, many chocolates again for bro tml!=)

Anw, I went home with Shahid and XiaoPing tgt on bus.

And this guy named EDISON got a fright out of me.

He miss-called me(unknown number) and I called him back.

REGINA: Hello,I am Regina. Did anyone call me just now?
EDISON: Err..yah
REGINA: Huh? why?
EDISON: This is calling from JURONG EAST POLICE POST.
REGINA: HUH????!!!!????!!!????
EDISON:..........................................This is Edison lah!!
REGINA:.................WA LAO!....You too bored is it??
EDISON: Haha
REGINA: WHy u call me?
EDISON: I just want to tell you this is my number.lol.
REGINA: U 白痴 ah?????!!!!!!!

Alright. joke of the day.

tired.
tired.
tired.

morning shift tml.

tired.
tired.
tired.

Last day tml.

Now.
I am getting the tada tada rhymth back again.

AND I ENJOY WORKING ONCE AGAIN.

How contradicting I am right?

esp. with CHUA XIN FANG, ELAINE LIM, TAN WAN XUAN.

And YEP!

I enjoy gift-wrapping.

esp. because we get to slack behind and sneak out some chocolates from the fridge which is at arm's length and talk gibberish when there's no customers.

esp YESTERDAY!!

I really really enjoy yesterday.

It was full of laughter and fun with all my colleagues.

esp. EDISON!
(yup. I have a colleague called EDISON)

the pronunciation mistake between FLAVOUR and FAVOUR.
HAHA.
got us all laughing and rolling on the floor.

This is the conversation...

EDISON: Hey! Can you do me a FLAVOUR???
XinFang+Elaine+ZhengYang+me: HAHAHAHAHAHHA
ELAINE: strawberry or chocolate or....

OK.
And I sneaked out A LOT OF CHOCOLATES YTD for my brother.

My jeans pocket is damn full and I AM DAMN AFRAID when I passed through the security dep.

NUTTY BAR IS NICE!

Alright.
gonna sleep tight.
I am VERY TIRED.
I am intially working morning shift tml(wake up at 7am!) but I rejected the idea.
TOO TIRED.

马善被人骑,人善被人欺。

How true is that.
YOU GET RETRIBUTIONS FOR BEING TOO NICE AND BEING TOO KAY-PO-or-just always too friendly.

How pissed off I am today.

How fucked-up I feel today.

How foul I feel today.

EVERYTHING I DO IS WRONG.

FRANKLY SPEAKING, I WANT TO QUIT.

esp after that BITCH called me AN IDIOT STRAIGHT IN MY FACE.

i CAN'T DO THIS.

i CAN'T DO THAT.

I get reprimanded for everything I do.
Thank goodness the boys in the company are REALLY NICE and keep on asking me, "ARE YOU OKAY???"

IT ALL lies on that bald OLD MAN and those vain little bitches.

YES! I AM SWEARING AT THE 2 MAIN CHARCTERS OF MY DAY WHO MADE ME REALLY FED-UP.

Anw, I saw this line on this guy's blog( he's our school's famous celebrity!).
"Teaches us the moral of not judging a book by its cover."

How true this is!! What a vicious heart and such hot temper under such a beautiful outer covering.

Shahiq asked me during lunch today, " Do you like working here?"

I was lost for words.

Its like Clarisse asking Montag, "ARE YOU HAPPY?" ( the famous quote!)

Then Montag would think, " Of course I am happy, What do she think? I'm not?"

But later on, Montag finally conclude, "I am not happy...I am not happy, I wore my happiness like a mask"

That's what I feel EXACTLY!

But I told him nicely," err...I really like working here intially...but NOW........"

which is really true too lah!

But neh mind!

However, I worked with Wxuan and Elaine today!!!
Yes!!!love them!!
Anw, CaiFangFang, Ong Yanyan, and Jia Le said HELLO to us at our booth today!LOVE!

But I am really pissed off at that moment and hence sorry that I did not entertain you guys totally.

Lastly, How vulgar I am this time!

SO WHAT?!!??

I am in a damnit foul mood today.

You don't SEE who is good to you, you FEEL.

I saw through the ugliest side of human nature today. How ugly and self-centered people can be in getting what is the best for THEMSELVES. How ugly people can be in mis-seeing and suspecting others good intentions. How ugly people can be in sacrificing others needs.

I am too dumb and stupid and innocent in the past.

Doing everything FOR the others.

SACRIFICING myself to help them.

But NO ONE APPRECIATE it.

They think YOU DO THINGS WITH A MOTIVE.

They SUSPECT you.

They think twice about you.

They do not appreciate.
 
 
When you really want to be good, people think that you have other intentions.
Don't you think that is fucking dumb of me.

We do know that this world is filled with unfairness and unjustice.
But it hurts when things like this happen to you.
 
 
yesterday....

OH MY MAMA! I MET A TV STAR!!!!!
You know the mediacorp 李锦梅??!!

Yup.
I saw her ytd
She was wearing a shades that cover almost half of her REALLY SMALL FACE.

Anw, Ytd, ROYCE was SUPER busy.
The seniors have to do the packing and stocking of new stock...
while A NEW GUY-EDISON and me have to take care of attending the counter.

BUSY BUSY!
And a customer came and said he want 30 TRUFFLES immediately and all GIFT-WRAPPED INDIVIDUALLY.

WTH.

We are only salespeople and not robots!!

Hence EVERYONE RUSHED TOGETHER TO GIVE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

After that, the seniors went back stocking, and I almost SINGLE-HANDEDLY handled 14 GIFT-WRAPPING for another customer.

TIIRNG DAY I MUST SAY!

Anw, my BIG JAP BOSS WAS WITH US FOR THESE TWO DAYS.

Intially, I thought he is real GREAT and easygoing Boss...

but I saaw HIS TRUE COULOURS THESE FEW DAYS,

THAT HE IS A DAMN PICKY AND DIFFICULT-TO-PLEASE BOSS.

EVERYONE FEELS TERRIBLE WITH HIM AROUND.

BUT he's quite good sometimes=)
ANW, lets say BON VOYAGE as he's leavin S'pore for a few days and will only see us again on Monday.

TODAY

A FIRE nearly broke ou at ROYCE!!

A fire REALLY BROKE OUT ON sUNDAY due to the powerpoints....

And Filzah and me SMELT STH BURNING TODAY AGAIN.

told Yaseer and the TAKA people+electrician+fridge operator came

I feel so guilty that I disrupted their work~~~~lolx


Alright, gonna sleep early and tight today as I'm having MORNING SHIFT TML and gonna wake at 7 plus.


After tml's work, I am going to buy my new blouse at Wisma which Elaine has introduced me.

Anw, TAN WAN XUAN!! PLEASE REST WELL!!

Apparently, I am feeling all my leg bones falling apart and my back breaking into pieces.

Today has been real fast.

gained a further insight of Royce staff and THEY ARE REALLY REAL NICE PPL.

Hence, with me praying hard that I would not create any chaos or troubles today(like what I did ytd), I still created a great disaster when i just stepped into taka.

I got retained at the security dept. as they said that I cnt work since I dont have the promoter pass.

I mean WHAT THE HELL, do I LOOK LIKE SOME FREAKING TERRORIST OR RIOTER THAT I SHOULD DESERVE SUCH TREATMENT???

I thought that as long as I act blur, and claim that today is my first day working, and just hand in my IC for a dono-what-pass, I would just get in as how Filzah( colleague) had taught me.

But apparently, perhaps they find me more suspicious with my GIGANTIC BAG, they preferred to retain me for a bloody 25 mins, and do whatever procedures, before I am admitted in.

Working at ROYCE is really GREAT.

Yaseer and Shahid are damn humorous and outgoing.
( Even Shahid said that I am the only Chinese Royce staff!)
Filzah and Cempakah are really easygoing.
Selina is really a nice manager.
(See?!I really have a hard time rmbing all the names!)

But hey! Working in TAKA is damn complicated.

You have to stand for 8 hours w/o sitting[thank goodness there's another1 hour break ].

And the procedures are really COMPLICATED.

Hence apparently, I looked like a total blur-queen and dumbass today, and I think I am recognized by most of the security staff.

I feel so embarrassed when I reach my Royce counter today!

And i did not punch my card intially and had to go back to punch my card.

Hence Pandada and Tan Xuan Xuan and Chua Fang Fang should be grateful to me that they do not need to undergo such embarrassment like me as I had gone thru all of them and will tell them what to doto avoid my embarrassment and will not look like a dummy like me as I would have taken their photocopies of their Ic and given my supervisor for the stupid promoter pass.

WTH.

I hope NOTHING WILL GO WRONG TML.

No pressing wrong of the cash register or taking the wrong things for the customers or making a fool out of myself in front of the seniors.

But working at ROYCE is really enjoyable.

You get to meet interesting ppl and widen your social circle.=)
