Woke up late and missed my morning lecture at ten, but managed to make it for tutorial at eleven. Got back my quiz results. Wee! I got 16 out of 20! Not bad considering I had seemed to know nothing much before the quiz. I must thank Adeline for it. If not for her teaching me how to do before the quiz, I think I probably wouldn’t have scored so well. Remembered that last Friday I had waked up early to be in school around eight just to study for the quiz. Even skipped a lecture hoping I could catch more understanding of it from Adeline. I must remember to thank her, for entertaining me and my all types of questions. Now, it seems I have more confidence of the term tests paper. I’m going to have to score and do well this semester! Aiming for a higher GPA score, an improved one from last semester.
Finished school at one, food! Here I come! Hungry! Ha-ha. After lunch, still having time on my hands as I only start work at four, I decided to go home for a short rest, a nap perhaps. I’m so tired and I’m getting sick of my life sometimes too... Oh, and I’m working at airport today by the way.
Nearly overslept my nap time at home, but luckily still made it on time for work. This job is quite interesting at times. But on the whole, I feel that working here (Crystal Jade My Bread); I’m like a high class cleaner, or maybe a high class dish washer. Ha-ha. Reason being, have to mop and sweep the floor, make drinks all that, wash dishes, trays where the bread are put onto, etc. its basically everything has to be done. This job needs a lot of teamwork to get things done. If one person is uncooperative, the others are in “trouble” for that probably means more work to be done. But so far, now that the “uncooperative person(s)” are no longer working there, things are going quite alright now that everyone knows their part to play. It could be an easy job if everyone cooperates well. But still it’s a tiring job. I wanted out of this job because it’s quite tiring, and the hours are not so flexible. And usually I’ll reach home only around
I must be mad. I’m not a superwoman. I had actually agreed to work both sides today!! I certainty have been keeping myself busy. I must stop! I’m draining myself out this way. Thank goodness for the timely reminder from my friends. But still today, I can’t cancel, it’s not so nice to back out last minute and spoil all the planning and mess up the schedule. So, tired as I was, still I was off to Ikea to work from ten to two. Working at Ikea, once u start, I do not know where all the sleepiness and tiredness gone. It seems to disappear every time I start work. Maybe it’s because I enjoyed what I was doing? Or maybe it’s because I can’t afford to be sleepy, for I’m handling money, any shortage or what ever could be a problem.
Time flew past just like that. It was a busy day; slowly the people came in non-stop. I never had a chance to really stop till I was off work at two.
Once I was off work, tiredness overcame me again. Going to start work at Airport at four, so I’m going to take my own sweet time to make my way there. First, I need some food to satisfy my grumbling stomach. Hadn’t had any breakfast or anything, and its past two already. My stomach had complained for quite awhile. Ha-ha.
Going to tell the supervisor tat I’m going to quit. Working days will work till before the 20th, for that is the last payment calculation date. For now, time planning for school, and both side work schedule must be planned carefully, without anything clashing.
However, starting work at airport, my tiredness didn’t go away like it did when I started at Ikea. But busy I was again. The people seem to come in non-stop. I do wonder, with so many people at Ikea, so many People at Tampines Interchange, at the Mall, where did all these people come from?
Saturday for both sides is a busy day. Think I definitely will concuss into bed... I’ll be dead tired out, totally worn out. I’m missing my bed … …after a nice warm bath, all comfy; I’ll drop right into bed…
A normal working Sunday, working at Ikea today from ten to three. Goodness! How lucky can I get? So far, almost every time I work at Ikea, I get some problem that faced me. either some difficult customer, some mistake I made, or stuff without barcodes and I’ll have to go high and low trying to find out what item it is all that. Today, yet another problem faced me. The credit card machine had to turn on me. Me! And I had to face a couple of unhappy customers all because of that machine. Lucky for me, not all of them turned nasty. 2 turned a little unhappy, but one kind of turned a little nasty.
It was like “come on madam! Like I wanted it to happen like that! I’m just trying to do my job too you know!” But no matter what, endurance is the word; I let her rant at me all she wanted. Meanwhile, I got her stuff to another counter and helped settle her payment. So long missy!
In the end I have to close the counter. It’s not going to work out with a not working credit card machine. So in the end, it was supposed to be a busy day since it’s a Sunday. But I was so free instead, running errands here and there, doing a little crowd control. Not bad I dare say, easy job and get paid for it! Ha-ha. Just stand there and use my mouth and give directions.
Time flew past. Three! I’m off work! Off I’m going to meet Huda at Tampines interchange. Gosh, did people never see a yellow uniform before? Went for lunch at East Link. Walking past to find a seat for us, I noticed people got eyes on me, even a couple of them giving me “remarks” like busy day over at Ikea isn’t it?” Great! Unwanted attention. Even the food stall people which I bought food from started chatting with me, asking me all sorts of things. Well, had no choice but politely entertained their questions.
After satisfying my rumbling stomach, off we went back to Ikea, to check out the place. The place is definitely huge. Walking past showrooms, looking at stuff, makes me feel like I wanted to redecorate my room. When walking, you feel that the place is big, but not as big as it seems. You’ll feel that after a short while, you have seen everything. But it was only after we walked finished, realization stepped in, we took more than two hours to walk and see everything, our feet was feeling tired.
We did do a little shopping. I bought a full length mirror for only $9.90. Got to know about it when people took it to pay, it was a steal I guess I could say. Usually full length mirrors costs about fifty sixty bucks? We also got some biscuits. Yum. Will go back for more the next time round. Everyone at home loved it, it was gone within a matter of minutes. Ha-ha. Shall end here, there’s still work to be done!
