Shift work have officially started and today is my off day but I decided to convert my time off to money by working today. Tomorrow will be another day which I will convert to money ^-^
Yesterday lesson at CPTC was real wet. Dry run were being carried out, under the scorching sun. Wet run was the best as it made everyone wet! For the whole day, we learn how to handle the fire hoses and learn about how we can contain the fire within a small area by cooling the other area with different type of water pattern. It seem like the wind will always blow against the water direction and bringing the water toward us! Everyone was totally drenched and our shoe became cups that collect water which flows down our jumpsuit. Imagine wearing a super wet jumpsuit and having wind blowing at you, flu will be the consequences. Had minor flu today, it was kind of irritating. After the lesson, we (Daren, Sheng Long, Jia Jun, Chun Rong, Alex, Rui Jie, Fang Yi, Jie Ying, Pei Fen and ME!) went to Holland Village for dinner. Took very long time to decide where to settle down for dinner. The final decision was at this small restaurant called Breko and I ordered beef sandwich for dinner. The bread was kind of hard but the filling was great. Dinner proceeded smoothly until the rain starts to fall. It was an heavy downpour which took a very long time to subside. As the rain was so heavy that the rain can't stop splashing onto our food/table, we have no choice but request for a switch of table. By the time we change our table, everyone had finished their main course and some of them were waiting for the desert. As it look strange having an empty table, we start to order beer. Its my fourth time touching alcohol within 2 week. Had a fun time gathering. Journey home was miserable, trying to control my bladder which seem to be very filled with urine. Luckily, some kind sole accompany me throughout the journey by chatting with me. I controlled from Holland Road to Ang Mo Kio before I finally found a toilet.
Today's work was fun as everyone near my counter was FUN! Chatted for very long time today. Jocelyn was on duty and I asked her about her driving test. Sadly she flung it because of some inconsiderate Taxi driver who do not give way to driver who is undergoing their practical test. SCREW THEM! I almost had an accident involving Taxi. TAXI again, don't understand why are they driving when they can't even follow the basic safety rules on the road. Endangering peoples life and their own life. Wonder why can't they simply just use a short period of time to think before driving recklessly. Must a person involve in an accident before he/she can learn? I hope not as accident can be fatal!
Back to the working part. Sales was very bad initially as many of the customer are "PAO" (A term used in the sales industry, referring to people who asked tons of question without buying). Every counter surrounding my counter had already issued at least 1 bill when I am still occupied with all the "PAO". Finally, my egg got broken with the first bill which worth $228. My mood turn for the brighter side as my mood was bad in the morning. Sales start to pick up and I starts to get busy entertaining aunties who asked tons of question before settling the bill. Most of the customer I served are aunty whose age is around 40 and above years old. They are all my money tree! I felt very proud whenever anyone praise my service or praise the confidence I have. It always make my day! (Who doesn't?) And I realize that only Aunty will give praises and that why I love to serve them (minus their nagging will be the best!). At the very end of the day, I finally HIT my target! Love the feeling of accomplishment as all the effort put in had finally made it. Think my commission is about $25 ^_^ Tomorrow will be another day working. Let hope that the sales will be great!
Had dinner with my family at Kovan. My dad wanted to eat the Old Punggol Mee Goreng as he kind of missed it since it shifted away from its old location at Punggol End. Order a few dishes which was served hour after we placed our orders. Service was slow, staff seem to be very stress up and some of the food tasted so-so while the rest are superb! We packed home the Mee Goreng as it was the last dish served. Can't wait to try it as most of the critics seem to be positive about their Mee Goreng.
As Irene Leong is ill, the party world plan tonight with her and Caslyn was being postpone. Hope Irene will recover as soon as possible and we can be out to enjoy. Wonder how will the outing be like.
it's you and me <3
