happy cny!
cny comes n go in a blink of an eye.
cny as in e first two days.

it jus makes cny realli short cos e wkends r so far away.
anw, e first day was spent at home n at my aunt's place.
second day at my ah ma's hse n r's place.
was basically doing e same things
eg eating, watching tv, playing cards etc etc.
n my little cousin who's onli 5 is super zai cos she drinks carlsberg beer ok.
n we lao yu sheng-ed plus e yu sheng realli has salmon in it.
was clearing up my desk n all e gd times we've spent together n mani first times we shared came to mind. realli missed those time n i wish u were still here jus like before. but i guess tat's not gonna happen anymore

end of working days.
Im officially jobless now.
It've been a fulfiling but tiring work
n it definitely beats staying at home doing unproductive stuff.
The working exp this time round is rather different.
Got to know alot of ppl from all walks of life,
there's ppl younger than me, ppl my age and ppl who's in mid 30s,40s,foreigners, locals, u name it.
We're all by name cashiers but in actual fact we're bao ka liao.
On e first two days, we helped in e setting up of e expo sale.
We open up all e bins which were rusty,heavy n dusty, doing all e coolie-alike jobs.
And then we need to paste all e price labels on e things.
For e department im in, it's pasting price on the confectionary.
The pasting motion,routine seemed endless
but in e process we had fun, throwing things around, chatting while doing.
For the next 8 days, we're cashiers cum packers.
Cashiers if we have a packer beside us to help us pack customers' purchases into plastics bags,
if not we'll have to multitask.
This is probably e fun-est part but i guess e scariest part as well.
It's fun to scan but not if u made any mistakes
bcos no matter, it concerns money and third parties-customers.
Not forgetting e third day when i met XLS there working.
I got a big big shock. haha.
So i always visit her when i go to e toilet.
On e last day which was monday,
we had to help in e tear down, doing e coolie-alike jobs again.
But this time, we know how to eat snake alr
so it was more of chit chatting, listening to music and EATING.
Cos im in e confectionary department
so our day started out with eating,
eating all e samples of biscuits and drinks.
E day ended with eating as well.
All e remaining samples or food that suppliers treated us
was shared together during debrief.
It was like holding a picnic
and then everybody started taking pics together.
We even took pic with e security guard.
Shall update these pics another time
cos cat and ming er both not efficient enough. haha.
After these eleven days (including my 2 off-days),
i can sunmarise some of e customers' behaviour i've seen.
Considering e fact that there's this lucky draw forms given out, these are some of e reactions:
1. Why i don't have e forms?!?! I bought so much why dun have?
2. Don't need la. Wont win one.
And some customers who dun even take note of wat they bought.
Upon paying, when we tell them tat it's like a hundred or few hundred over, they make a big hoo-ha and insist that we've double scanned or overcharged and demand us to go through e receipt one item by one item which is ultimate madness considering the amt of things they bought.
Although they are times that cashiers make mistakes too but it's jus cos we're human too.
And often that not u'll meet unreasonable customers who show e black face, scold, complain us etc.
One super memorable incident is with this white haired uncle whom i accidentally overcharged. Bcos there was no price tag on e item and e till controller had to page for e price but gave e wrong one. He got unhappy and i cldnt be bothered with him so i got my till controller to come over and she tried to appease him by giving him a credit voucher for e amt i overcharger which is probably e best solution. But guess what he said.
"This is not acceptable. Why is this kind of thing happening. I think something should be done to the system etc etc." and he rattled on and on nonstop. He totally jammed up e whole q.
What's more he came to shop some more e nxt 2 days n when he saw me he smiled and said hi.
I bet he's mentally unsound or that he's so bored at home he needs to pick up a fight somewhere.
Alright. some pictures without human for now.
