My Saturday

Ever since I started work, off days are only the days I am looking forward to. I don't quite like working, and I know many doesn't. But I enjoyed talking to certain customers and share what I know with them.

So I was looking forward to the 16th of May. Not because of my cousin's wedding, but because it's my weekend off day for the month. I told the wife before that I wanted to go prawn fishing, and we did. I woke her up at 4:30am, she came down to the taxi stand at Rivervale Plaza because I'm getting breakfast. And we're off to the prawn fishing farm.

I can say that enjoying something that we both like is something I love doing with her. It is like we're taking a time out together to go dating and strengthen our bond together. It feels so loving and as though we're already staying together.

We caught a total of around 20+ prawns, the total number of our prawns for the day is 45. Some of the prawns were given by other people so that is why we had this many.

The wife and I spent a fruitful day. We had second round of breakfast, we slept for the day after a shower. We went off to Compass Point to sell of her NDS then walked around. Had dinner at home, watched a show on Channel 5 and we cleaned the boys' tank.

I get to hug her the whole day which is something I have been looking forward too. Waiting for another day like this. Waiting.

Mother's Day

I know Mother's Day is long over, but I am so not free to even update on it. Although I am awake at least 2 hours before I go to work just to use the laptop, there is so much things I need to do. Working under the pet's industry is no easy thing. If you give the wrong information to customers, good luck. And I am trying to absorb as much facts on the kitty food and the the doggy food. One word, tired.

Anyway, Mother's Day was last Sunday and I had to work. I didn't spend it with my mum on the actual day but the week before with the wife. Which is a good thing. OK, skip.

Back to Sunday. The wife came down to meet me for dinner during my one hour break. And since it's Mother's Day, the wife said we should pamper ourselves and thus we had KFC. We pamper ourselves because we are mothers too. We have 13 kids now and hopefully the number stop there. No I won't adopt anymore. There's no place and cages left.

As we had our Mother's Day meal, I grumbled that the kids didn't give us anything. The wife then had to reply that the kids are still young. Hmm . . . At least they should squeaked to greet me instead. They better do next year.

Thoughts After A Week's Work

• The whole place is quite cramp and I have to always move a side for customers to walk through. But then I don't know why my colleague, Jason, said that I am avoiding customers like as though they have swine flu. Not very funny. If the place is spacious, I won't be moving a side in the first place. Right people?
• I worked 9hours a day, 1hour of break included. Everyday's journey is via bus. So far so good except I don't really like to do closing. I need to sweep the floors, making sure products are face front etc.
• People there aren't friendly. Well, most place I worked at the people aren't friendly in the first place except during those times I worked at Sunpage which pratically half the coldcalling department are my friends/S.H.E fans. But can I say only Rae is friendly? Since I didn't really talk to the supervisor before since she had many days of MC due to fever, so I can't really give much comment about her friendliness.
• I can claim my Public Holiday, but I can't claim it during the weekends. And I need to claim it during the month of the Public Holiday itself. How sickening. And I can't accumulate my Public Holidays and have one shot of claiming. Oh well, that's how PLC works.
• I can only have one weekend off. I'm off every Monday. So when people are having Monday Blues, I'm having Tuesday Blues.
• So far so good. The standing part was tiring. I tried to absorb as much information as I can and hopefully I didn't give the wrong information to customers. =D
• That's all about it I guess.

Time to prepare for work. Sian . . .

Adopted Kid

People, say hi to my new kid. =D

I got the wife and myself a new kid. I adopted it from a customer that walks in just to ask if we take in hamsters. And seeing that this poor guy here will be left with no home soon, I decided to take him in. Although I shouldn't, but the pet consultant just let me. =x

And because of this little fellow, another friendly customer made friend with me and I have her contacts. Woohoo. =D Can say it's my happiest day at work although the whole day sucks.

The cashier short of $18, and the 3 of us have to pay $6 each to put it back. I see $6 fly off just like that. And the sickening thing is, the male colleague thinks it's my fault since I'm new. He say I might have given the wrong change to customer. =.=
And he suggest to me that try not to touch the cashier during the weekends. OK lohx, newbie always get the blame.

Like what the wife says, tolerate, he's leaving soon. From what I heard he's leaving. And he better does. Humph.

People might be wondering why I took up this low paying job. It's simple. The wife's burden is heavy and I just need that cash. I'm cash deprive. I need cash to get the wife something for her birthday (although I already did, but I feel that it's not enough).

Anyway, wish my next few months with PLC will be a better and enjoyable one. =D

Pregnant Kit

I found when I am having my break yesterday at the Basement 1 toilet. I wonder who is the one that is using this pregnant kit. Hmm . . .

Work was so far good. I enjoyed working with Rae. =D
She's the only one that will talk to me much, but the sad part was she's not working always. I don't think she's a full-timer. Oh well. Guess I have to endure that sickening guy then.

I got really tired last night while working. Think I need to get a new pair of comfortable shoes since part of the soles of the current shoe I am wearing is wearing off. Sigh . . . It will be full 2 years of not buying any new shoes in a few months time. So should I get one? Or maybe I'll ask my wife to lend me some. Weee . . .

Anyway, it's Vesak day today.
Happy Vesak Day. Although it's not a public holiday since it's a Saturday, but hopefully you're all enjoying this day.

I'm off to prepare for work. Tata.

Working Life ~

Working life, I'm kind of get used to it except that I am feeling quite tired in the morning. Then when I came home, I just couldn't get to sleep when I'm already on the bed.

People there were friendly, but they didn't really talk to me. But whatever, at least I have learnt quite a many things now compared to the previous internship job that I had. There's some supplier who are quite friendly, while some aren't. And by checking stock, although it looks simple but have to make sure the stocks are in right the right amount.

And then again, for the closing, I'm doing again my most dreaded chore of all time. Sweeping~
The guy which the wife didn't really like say that most newbies learn via sweeping. Ya, whatever. I do the sweeping, they do the calculating of the sales and feeding small animals. So can I consider my task the easiest?

Anyway, I'm working 6 days per week. But I predict and have a feeling that for this week, I'm working 7days straight. So can I say my off day start next week? I'm waiting for the bloody Saturday to arrive. I want to go prawn fishing!

Oh, the food at the nearby coffee shop was nice. I only tried the noodles though. Haha . . .

OK, to the most important thing for the day.
It's the 8th of May, so I want to say . . .

Happy 19th Month Anniversary to my wife!
We're both working adults now, (OK, I admit that I am growing old) we won't be spending much time together like we used to. But I want you to know that I am constantly thinking and missing of you during work. So, I hope you enjoy your days ahead with the daughter you had now at your place.

Loving you always. =D

Support the Freedom to Love =D

First Day of Work @ PLC

Work today at 1pm, took a bus there. Woohoo ~

One thing I enjoyed about work today is, when the customer is happy, so am I.
One thing I don't enjoy about work today is, I lost my ez-link card containing roughly $20.
One thing I don't enjoy about work today is, I had to get a replacement of ez-link card because the lost one is the one and only for now.

But, overall the experience was good. I had to learn all of the products, which is hopefully. I got familiarize with where the products are, and I am satisfied that what I have learnt through the internet and the wife has been put to good use.

But hor . . .
The food court, the food is expensive. One plate of chicken rice cost $3.30 and is not nice de lohx. Eekk. Waste of money. OK, I shall hunt kopitiam tomorrow.

Another New Beginning

I just took up whatever comes my way. Tomorrow is another new beginning for me to learn new things and most importantly, learn to be outgoing. Well, hopefully. And of course, I will be taking in what the wife had said, it is time I take up a job seriously.

I won't know how long will I be with Pet Lovers' Centre, but no matter how long I'll be with them, hopefully I will be leaving the place with a new knowledge. But then again, all the best for me in this new job.

Anyway, the recent AWARE saga was really happening.

Xmen Origins: Wolverine

I have watched Xmen Origins: Wolverine today at Jurong Point. I know Jurong Point is so far away for me and it's like more than an hour's ride via MRT. But because the wife is meeting her friends there to celebrate birthday, we had no choice but to go. Actually I'm there just for the movie. I'm kind of glad that I got to catch a movie before I officially start work next Monday.

Anyway, the movie starting was great. It shows how Logan/Wolverine knows how he had claws and who his real biological father was. Then it shows on how he and his brother fought during wars and how he walked out of his brother who just likes to kill.

The whole show was nice and I like the way it is. The wife was telling me about how long it takes to render a movie. Now I know it is a lot of time spent just to have a movie out. You see, if you study things regarding media, you'll see things differently.

But anyway, I hate watching a movie where there is kids near me. One word, noisy.

OK, back to the movie.

I now know why Wolverine has forgotten about his past and how he had his metal thing like claws and how he had the ability to heal. Isn't that nice? There's some hilarious part of the movie too. Hehe . . .

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. And if you are an Xmen fan, it's a must watch. Everyone was talking about Hugh Jackman being naked in the movie, well it didn't show much except for the butt and the upper body of his. Quite muscular but the shape of it isn't to my liking and he isn't blonde. =x

P.S. My son is bleeding like mad. Trying to stop the bleeding before washing of wound and applying pet's iodine. =( Might be visiting the vet tomorrow.
