What a wonderful week it has been...
Been working in Carrefour for the past four days and thus I haven't been updating. Anyway, wheather I update or not doesn't matter now because no one cares or bothers to come as what I see now.
Ok, so what exactly I did in Carrefour was to deal with meat...specifically
PORK.Yes...yucky pork.
I dealt with the livers, kidneys, stomach, intestines, bones, hind and front legs...and the best part of all is packing up the minced pork..
they have like all kinds of parts available for sale. I wonder how the sales went today.
Well, though it's fun, dealing with all the meat and stuff, it's quite tiring as well actually. Because as a packer you won't have a seat there waiting for you. What's more I was there for only 4days as it's a temp job.
And on the last day, I came at 3 and went at 8.Purely because I didn't had my break.
Well. That's all for today. I just really hope that my angbao money will multiply...

Another job again!
Monday, January 16, 2006
I lost a job, now I found another...It's another new beginning.
But this time, I'm alone. For now, I'll be going to Suntec City for my job in Secret Recipe. Yah yah, I'm back to the F&B industry. But I'm praying real hard that hopefully I won't have to do all the yucky stuff like throw the rubbish into the big rubbish chute just like MacDonald's.
Anyway after the interview, me and Jess went all the way to Orchard Far East plaza. So it was like, 6plus in the evening, going out on an empty stomach and an empty wallet.
And well, I just don't understand why women can go around shopping malls going into the most of the shops, browsing through the sales items over and over again. What's worse is, without getting tired.
Don't tell me they were born to shop? Haha...
For me personally, window shopping is Ok as long as I get to rest. C'mon, we are all humans, not robots. People do get tired. When you're penniless, hungry and tired you'll know what I mean. Shopping has to come with the right mood. Don't you agree? Ok, enough of this shopping topic...
Well, what happened to my verse of the day?! It ended together with 2005 and it's going to start again...I guess that's one of the ways to keep me reading God's word.

Thoughts...
Sunday, January 15, 2006
One day without work and I'm feeling all uneasy about it. Seriously speaking, I really really miss all my friends in Motorola...I guess, especially her; a malay girl by the name of Nurul.
Well, it all happened on that very same day, when I just got to know her from line 3. So it was like that day all of us went upstairs to the canteen for breakfast as it was break-time, and that's where I really knew her. Man I tell you, she is super-friendly, really cheerful and all.
And then, after that we were like chatting away and stuff...well, that's when all of them(or rather her malay friends) were talking in their own language, as though they were teasing her about something. Then slowly one by one, they asked me to ask for her contact. And being as shy as I can be, obviously I didn't really did that.
It was quite obvious that those girls were gossiping away about her showing some signs of liking...
But after really feeling that way, I kind of thought that I didn't really want to repeat the previous mistake that I made; having a non-christian girlfriend, and for this case, a muslim. That' 1000times worse.
I felt really scared...I didn't really dare to love again. Because if anyone really watch those celestial kind of show whereby they have immortals being banished from heaven to the mortal world, their number one rule is: Immortals are not allowed to fall in love.
Except for the difference is that I can find my own kind of people, if not marriages would not exist in churches.
But having a malay partner is quite interesting actually. Judging from the 9pm show, the chinese males have to be circumcised, and have to sacrifice not touching pork. And the worse thing is that it is very difficult to decide what kind of ceremony to go through.
Anyways, it's best to remain single...available for now. God has a plan for me. I'm sure God won't let me stay like this forever, after all, the bible says that we are to reproduce or something?

A series of unfortunate events...
Friday, January 13, 2006
Wow.
What can I say...all this is simply just too fast for me to even catch my breath. Right, so to cut everything short, I just lost this Motorola job. And well, I am excited as well as regretful about it.
Firstly, the reason why I got terminated from Motorola was and is unknown as yet. Yah, it happened today and what really happened was that today we had one full day of standing in the factory and doing nothing.
YES. Plain nothing. We were all standing in our lines and staring blank in the factory.
Then it was until about between 10-12noon, one of the aunties was passing around two pieces of paper so that we can write our names to register for OT.And I don't know if I really did the right thing, but I just wrote my name down knowing that for Sunday OT is extended till 6.30pm.
After this, I was talking to one of my friends when Jenny the GL, came up to me and said this to me...
"You don't have to do OT; Today will be your last day."
My jaws nearly dropped.
Reason being I needed the money for my bike. And luckily I recovered from my shock because I knew that I have gained back freedom once again. The first thing that really did come to my mind was, "This is all part of God's plan.." I guess it is then...
I guess it was also due to my past noticeable mistakes as well...There was once when the battery door had two different kinds; one with sticker, one without. And I didn't noticed it because the other guy left me alone at the line throwing all the responsiblities topping the supplies to me. And the pace as well as the topping up was so fast that I didn't even noticed any difference in the battery doors.
Mistake no. 2 was yesterday. It was during the last few hours of packing. As ususal, the pace went to the maximum and luckily there were two of us to handle the supplies. It was till the very end, when our main source of supplies got depleted and we had to "steal" some from other lines in order to get the packing going on. One thing that is common is that the chargers is used up at a fast rate. Five minutes after the supply is topped, it is used up. So being kiasu Singaporeans, we MHs tend to take more boxes of chargers. At the start, one of the aunties suggested placing the box of chargers below the table and push it over to the other side. It's after all fast and efficient, and unfortunately I did listen to her advice. I placed three boxes of chargers below, two of which was used up when supplies was low. When we went to draw out the supplies, that same auntie found an extra box of charger!
That, I realized, was the big disadvantage of placing items below for convienience. You will
NEVER notice them unless you're not busy.
And before we knew it, time was up and it was for us to go home. I went home unknowingly being watched, gossiped amongst the GLs who have the ablity to sack workers. Sad case...
The reason why I purely regretted leaving this job is the friends that I have made, especially those that I made today. I don't know...I guess something just sparked up inside of me when I saw this person(not going to reveal gender...hehe!). This person is super friendly with a hint of shyness.What was strange was that, this person's friends keep telling me to ask this person for his/her number. But being shy as I was, I didn't and thought maybe later. I guess it can never happen. Unless through friendster, which I am currently waiting for this person to do so.
The reason why I also didn't want this job too is because I got another job waiting for me. Although the pay is going to be so much more less, but I guess it is all part of God's plan. Wherever He places me, I will go.
Sigh. That is one thing. But I'm leaving with regrets. I am going to lose contact with my co-workers in Motorola. If only God can turn back the clock...If only...

In the morning...
Thursday, January 05, 2006
Here I am in the morning blogging and getting ready for another exciting time of work...
Well...it's absurd though, but I have to be early because I just got scolded yesterday for that...And sad to say, I really miss school's half late policy!!
So recently during work there were some new faces amongst the people at my workplace and yah, I got the chance to meet new people and make new friends...
But well, they are new and they are new to work and if they really make silly mistakes then it is(for me) kind of acceptable and understandable...but big mistakes?
Yah, there was this incident that happened yesterday. It was already one plus coming to two, then my line was packing the Motorola Rokr E1 phone. And just to digress abit, man that phone rocks big time! It is the first phone ever that I know has a built-in shock absorber...so springy!!
Ok, so back to the incident. The phone that we were packing I think it was supposed to be exported to some other countries or something like that because we were actually given Arab, french and enligsh language phone manuals. And not just that, there were leaflets as well in those three languages. So now the problem is that they all look alike, differentiated by part numbers. And it really was a complicated situation....Remember there was a new girl I mentioned? She sort of..screwed up everything on the packing stuff. Well, I may not be blaming her for the carelessness, in fact I have a part to play in the starting part which I can't explain it here. But I thought, after what I contributed it might have changed. Guess I was wrong.
She kept mixing the french and english manuals with each other. And well, she got screamed at by Jenny, who is the overall in-charge person or something like that.
From here forth, I see two main kinds of people in my workplace; the one that screams and the other that gets screamed at. And the one that screams does it unprofessionally as well.

Some morning shift indeed...
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
Once again, some morning shift it was today. Firstly, I was late for like 15mins for work and then have to get tormented through the morning struggling to stay awake. Thoughts of wishing to go back to school just wanted me to wish for that, but I didn't gave in. I know and I declare that work is better than school!!
Well…to a small extent I guess…
At least mini-recess is much earlier than the one in school, and there is much more freedom in work than in school as well; not really that stagnant and routine-like in terms of time, etc.
Come to think of it, if I really were to return to school with my specs, I wonder what would my teachers say, or rather what their response will be…Anyways, I think I better go bathe now…I'm so stinky after work..

Welcome to the new year...
Sunday, January 01, 2006
Once again we have entered into a new year.
For me, it's a year of being calm in the midst of anxious-ness...because the results will be out very soon. Who knows where I might end up to. I have always been aiming to go into the IT area, and thus even the ITE Simei has become one of my choice, just in case things turn out bad.
After being anxious about the results, then I'll have to so-called worry about if I would be able to get in to the course that I have aimed for.
And wheather I get in or not, I'll still have to carry on with life. Studying will soon be part of my life once again after months of holidays.
But, well let's just let tommorrow worry about itself. I'll just enjoy my holidays while everyone returns to school...hehe...
