after whole day of shopping, cabbed back home. supposed to go work after that, but wasnt feeling very well. coz dint go. met a guy thru online shopping at marina square. bought a studded belt from him. very cheap. :)

business and sales are good today!

9th jan 07, friday

today didnt went for lesson, because my shop requires people, lacking of manpower to do the job. so i went down. 9th jan 07, friday, marks a very important date and moment for many people. the results taking of GCE 'O' Level. many may be nervous and excited, some may be calm and anticipating. but, there's only two reactions, either disappointed or overjoyed.

finally, the results awaits and was announced one by one to each students. there i am, in marina square working and waiting to hear good news from my fellow o level friends. some fare well, some fare not so well. but that's ok, you guys did your best.

was happy for my friends. today business was great. before i left, sales hitting almost $3000. managed to pull 2 customers for reading. the third one coming most probably tmr. todays also marks a impt day for me as it was my mum's birthday. went to marina square, yuki yaki, a japanese steamboat restaurant to celebrate it. food was nice and filling. after dinner, walked around and cabb-ed back home. while my family went home, i cabb-ed back to gabriel's house for cell grp. dint want to miss it. today's alittle special because four koreans came to join our cell group in some exchange program. they came from korea church.

they are cute, fun and enjoyable. really would like to go out with them soon. would like to bring them to different places of singapore for shopping spree. haha. communications were alright. they are so cool. trilingual in 3 languages, Korean, Japanese and English.

i got all of their email address. shall keep in touch with them. :) missthem.





special valentine refreshment

happy ending

7th feb 07, wednesday

woke up slightly later this morning. quickly, doubling up my speed of preparing and rushed down to flag for a cab. reached marina square at 1230pm. today sales and business aint very good. not much crowd in the mall today. hence, there's lots of slacking time. because of that, 2 people from the headquarters came down to marina square to 'spy', and gave comments about us. because of this and some of the office matters, our in-charge, liping, was reprimanded by them. this results in affecting her mood alittle, and also results in changing of working hours to shift duties.

as part-timers, of course we would like to earn extras, the more the better. and because is hourly paid, we of course would like to work full day instead of shift. this also results in some negative attitude that we portrayed out to her.

obviously, one of our colleagues, joseph, wasnt very pleased. perhaps because of many things that happened today, product was broken, collecting of o level results is drawing nearer and nearer and these affecting his mood too. liping was so stressed up and she suddenly just scolded him in the debrief meeting.

she felt so hurt and she actually could not control her tears and cried. this situation made all of us so astonished and shocked, leaving us thinking what to do next. we quickly dismissed the meeting and asked joseph, marcus and zhihao to go first. meeting joseph and marcus at the roadshow there, waiting for us.

having karen and i accompanying liping in the shop, she expressed and explained to us on how she felt. her story was touching towards joseph. and of course, it makes sense. we will try to understand and compromise each other more.

after the whole thing, joseph apologised to her and we all treated her to a sumptous supper at makansutra beside DXO. the atmosphere was cool then, no one actually like remembered what had just happened earlier on. well, after all, its a happy ending. i believe each day will be a better day, and prayed that business will get better and better each day. and of course, praying for those o levelers taking results on friday, all the best, and worry not. after all, u did your best. :)

3 people cab is good!

6 feb 07, tuesday

didnt went to school today. went to work. first meeting wendy at my 35 bus stop. took cab down to serangoon train station to pick up baoman. all 3 of us cabbing to work. one in bugis and another two in marina square. 3 person cabbing is a real saving money way to work! cheap and comfortable.

went buy breakfast, (soya milk and cake and tarts) delivered wendy's to her ebase shop. polly and freddy saw. was jealous and asked where's theirs. haha. perhaps next time. laugh out loud. after delivering, went to report for work. work from 12pm to close today. today business not bad. monday and tuesday suprisingly sales is not bad, hitting $1000 plus each day.

after work, joseph, marcus and me went to makansutra for supper. nice food there. wendy meet me there. i and her took cab to bugis to fetch baoman. and we 3 took cab home again. haha. another way of saving money, the 3 person cab scheme. haha.

feeling tired. shall turn in soon. tomorrow working full day. tomorrow shall be a better day. :)

Shopping spree!

5th feb 07, monday

woke up at 1038am today. preparing for school. after bathing and everything, it was already 1130am, and lesson (history) starts on 1130am too! so cabb-ed down to school. i wasnt worried about the cab fare because i collected my pay yesterday, which was $200. so cabbing is not a problem for me. lesson was indeed boring. after lesson, went to bugis street to do my shopping for a while because the next lesson is 2hrs after.

quickly walked here and there around bugis street. bought 2 t-shirts, 2 pants, 1 jacket, 1 duffle bag and 1 bling bling necklace. 2 t-shirts and 1 of the pants i bought from Flexor, another pants from normal shop in bugis street. i've also got the jacket from Rebirth, the duffle bag from Zinc and the necklace from Level 2, Bugis Street.

i, myself also cant believe that the total cost of all things i bought was exactly my pay, $200. after shopping, then my heart starts to break. laugh out loud. just in one day, i spent all of my pay. im both happy and sad. laugh out loud.

after shopping, quickly rushed back school for 2nd lesson. left early for lesson and went to Marina Square to work. today business wasnt as good as yesterday. but was alright. hope tomorrow sales will be better. ebase friends are so good. they came to greet me at my shop and asked if my face have recovered. although working in Marina Square is tiring, but afterall, knowingso many good friends and colleagues made my working experiences a more enjoyable and fun! =D

after work, felt really exhausted and tired. quickly rushed home to rest. here am i blogging. hoping tomorrow will be a better day. :)

happy birthday sophia!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA!
