So Many Things! So Little Time!

Sorry i hadn't really blogged in a long while.

1. Had exams.

Results coming out on 11 Oct '05 at 6am. That's my bro's birthday.


2. Then class chalet.

It was held in Aloha Loyang.

We all pointed at Zin...


Then PengHui decided to take the clock down...


And goodness knows what they were doing between Boon's legs...


We became the marshmallow men and women


They ate...


And shared a sausage under a pair of tongs...


And i wanted to eat OnYi's chix wing...


And PengHui was so hungry that he ate charcoal...



3. Worked. (Still working until end Oct! Yay!)

My boss and colleagues are great. =) Some customers, however, are so fake. Can't stand them sometimes. I'm doing customer service, so i have to just grin and bear it. I work in an office in Raffles Place.


4. Isetan Sale.

Went at 8.30am and although the sale was supposed to start at 9am, there were 200 people in front of me already (what the heck were these ppl doing, not working when they're supposed to??). Went there to snatch the red colour Adidas watch my sister wanted. It was $59 for the first 500 people. Ha!

Then i bought my make up remover (at last!) and eyelash curler from Shu Uemura. The cleansing oil is really good. It removes everything and really everything! My previous eyelash curler by them was like going kaput already. Couldn't curl anymore so i had to buy a new one. Total = $148.

Since there was a 10% discount on cosmetics with every $50 spent, i decided to buy something else to make up for that difference. I ended up buying my eye cream! Haha... SK-II, no less! =) $80 for 15g!



Had a 3% discount for signing with the card, plus $20 voucher for the cosmetics i bought. So, it's not so bad that i spent $258.39 in 30 minutes right? Hehehe...

Beauty is priceless. So what's a little money spent on skincare anyway!


5. Wash Car.

Helped Baby wash and wax his car, together with Felix's car as well. But turned out that i was more trouble than help. Halfway through the waxing, my back hurt like hell. So i sat down in the car.

Then sitting down was pain too. So i laid down instead.

Daryl thought i was joking and lazy, so he didn't think much of it when i said my back was painful.

Went back to his house after that, took 2 panadols but it didn't help. I couldn't sit straight, neither could i stand properly. I walked like as though i was pregnant! Haha.

Tried to eat dinner at the table, but i had to use my arms to support my back. I had to eat slowly because my back was still hurting me. I was slower than a tortise. Heh.

It wasn't because i didn't want to eat or anything like that. It was painful. I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, so i cried.

6. Went Hospital.

The pain was annoying. I couldn't walk fast, else it hurt. I couldn't bend down either. Maybe the hunchback of notredame was better off than me. The pain even went down my legs, until they felt weak. So Baby and his mum brought me to CGH to see the doc on Sunday night.

Did X-Ray and all. Doc said it was a sprain on my back and i should be fine in a few days. She gave me painkillers and referred me to an orthopaedic in two weeks.

She gave me 2 days MC too.


7. Didn't Go Work.

Woke up and my whole body just felt so weak. So i called my boss to let her know i wasn't going work. Puked in the evening. Headache. I was a total mess. Took painkillers and it wasn't so bad anymore.


8. I'm Didn't Go To Work Again

I love my job. Seriously. It's a dumb blonde (brunette) job, perfect for me. The pay is just right, and the timing is good cos it falls within my holidays.

I want to go work. Although i haven't really fully recovered. Bending is still a problem for me, but it doesn't hurt as bad as compared to the past few days. It hurts just a slight bit.

I started work last Wednesday. And being the newbie at work, you'd want to leave a good impression, right? I only worked for 3 days, and i'm taking a 2 day MC now. What would my boss think of me?

Called Daryl when i woke up this morning. Told him that i'd be going to the post office to drop off the mail, then i'm going work.

Like i already said, i'm new and it's not nice to take so many days off when i just barely started work. Furthermore, this is one of the better holiday jobs that i have taken upon. An office job is so much better compared to working retail or waitressing. I'm grateful that God has given me this job!

I forgot to tell him that i was going to work today and i also forgot to tell him that i wanted to post the item out today. He thought i wasn't going to work today, so he got angry because i slept late last night as well. Yes, i'm in the wrong. So he told me that it was only right that i stayed at home and only until i've fully well, then can i go to work.

Ok, so he has a point. Afterall, he paid for the hospital bills, and he doesn't want me all that money to go to waste. He cares for me. I love him too.

Staying at home is super boring during the holidays, especially so when you have a job but you're not at work. I have nothing but my computer and my dog at home with me. Dad's back in sg, but i don't really talk to him at home. Except for yesterday, when i asked him to apply for a supplementary platinum card for me. He refused. Bleah! =P

I feel happy that i have a job. My colleagues aren't too bad. It's a female working enviroment. We only have 2 or 3 males in the whole office (they are in their 30s). Which is a good thing. My customers are around 40 yrs old. Old enough to be my dad and mum.

The stuff that i wanted to post was for my buyer on yahoo auctions. She/He had already paid up yesterday, so i felt it was right that i sent it out as soon as i could.

Do unto others, what you would want others to do unto you. If i had paid for something, obviously i'd want it to be delivered in the shortest time possible too. Wouldn't you want it too?

**

Now would you suspect that i'm harping on anyone? My old colleagues/My customers/The mystery buyer? At times like these, i feel that i'm so useless. A terrible girlfriend. I can't get anything right and i can't make people feel secure.

But nobody understands me. Yes, the problem definitely lies with me.

**

I called my boss on her mobile, because she wasn't in the office yet when i called her direct line. When i told her i couldn't go to work, she gave me a tongue lashing.


She said, "Can you come to work at all or not, this week? You just started work for 4 days, and now you're taking 2 days MC. I understand that back pain is not a small matter. But work still goes on. Because of your MC yesterday, we had to cope with the extra work all because of you. Furthermore you are calling in sick today, so more work is being piled up..."

I said, "Yes, i understand... But..."

She butted in, "I'd really like to know what is the problem with you."

I replied, "My back really hurts and i can't really walk. But i should be able to go work tomorow."

She said, "So are you sure that you can work tomorrow? Because if you can't, then i'd have to let you go. Otherwise, work is being piled up and nobody is doing it. If you can't work anymore then i have to employ someone else to take over you already, you know. Back pain is not a small issue and i don't want you to come to work and suffer too."

I quickly said, "Yes yes i know. I'll be in office tomorrow."

She said, "Ok, you better be in office tomorrow. You take care. Good bye."

I replied, "Ok sure, good bye."


As the saying goes, there is no charity in business.

I forgot to tell Daryl last night (my mistake) that i wanted to go work (on top of the fact that i wanted to go to the post office too), although i had planned last night to go this morning.

If hurt my back again at work, the company is not gonna pay for my medical expenses because i'm barely only a temp staff. I didn't want him to worry about me, so i skipped work today.

My boss scolded me for not going work because my work is piling up and i've barely started training only. When i go to work tomorrow, there's gonna be 3 days of untouched work to be done! I have to put in triple the effort to finish my work by tomorrow evening. I probably have to work overtime and my lunch would even have to get cut by half.

Not meaning to be sarcastic in any way, but i hope i made Daryl happier. =) I'll just go do my job to rest well at home so that i'm able to go work tomorrow. And i'm thankful that my boss didn't fire me on the spot.

What A Morning.


I feel terrible and i've got a splitting headache now. Gonna eat my apom now.


*****

Dad posted the item out for me today. So happy that i closed a deal. =) Have to return the buyer $1 because it didn't cost as much as i expected it to be.

Now gonna find stuff in my house to sell... I don't use them and they're like all going to waste!
