friendship...
16/12/05
how amazing it is to know that a simple forwarded massage from a fren can brighten my day...
it's been a really really long time since i've heard from shiyun... didn't msg her cos i dunno when she's going to KL for choir competition or when she's coming back... but when i received her msg juz now.. i was so veri delighted...
these boring days at Suntec carrefour had been difficult to pass, but it is only during these times that i realise how simple things can make me feel better...
through these boring days, i realise once again the importance of friendship... true friendship i mean... having it is better than having gold... n i'm blessed w more than 1 true friendship.. i sincerely hope that our friendship can last through our adulthood... juz like my dad's friendship w his army friends... as i know that they will help me through my ups n downs... but of cos i gotta kao zi ji oso...
knowing that i'll be seeing them soon, the dullness of waiting for time to go by is instantly brightened... =) i feel lighter n more cheerful... worries that i have earlier is temporary forgotten.... =)

working @hilton...
after viewing clare's entry abt her work at hilton.. i cld help but write 1 myself...
thx 2 her.. i found a good deal working at hilton hotel for $6 per hr.. life is not bad that.. despite the boring packing of Xmas goodies... and frequent visits to the pastry kitchen to get cake orders.. ( at the same time suffering a earful for being new and know nth)... i get to serve customers... wrap cakes for them introduce cakes to them n stuff like that... i like this part where i get my 1st exposure to the service industry...
at first i was so afraid... not knowing how to approach a customer... having difficulties remembering the prices of close to 50 cakes of different types and sizes... keep irritating christine( our supervisor) cos it was quite busy over there... i was so worried n depressed.. cos i can't even learn new things well.. got stressed when i saw how clare performed on my 1st day of work...( her 2nd)... but aft having some consultations... i feel better n things start to go well... i realise that i'm actually one of those 'slow warming' type... i need a few days to get accustom to everything...
so.. when i'm finally used to everything.. comfortable with serving customer... i receive news that i'm going to get posted to a much smaller counter at carrefour- suntec... gosh... gotta get used to new things again... i tot.. but then.. at the same time... i look forward to another new experience.. cos fr wat i heard fr simon( the one in-charge)... we gotta be independent.. we gotta tend the counter by ourselves at times... of cos i'm worried... wat if i give the wrong change??
so... i went there.. filled with expectations..
but... ... things were totally not what i tot... prislin... who were there whole morning.. said that they've only sold 2 packets of cinnamon stars... i can't believe it at 1st... but i got the taste of it soon... i stood there for 8 hrs... doing nth.. occassionally entertaining a few questions... and by the end of the day.. we've only sold a 500g fruit cake..
i've spent most of the time chattin w angie... whom i dun realli like at 1st... but m ok w her after that... gosh!! how m i going to spent the rest of the month there?? i dunno if i can even tolerate another day... i used to tink that packaging things for the whole day is dead boring... but after this... having things to pack is a blessing... i stood there the whole day thinking... how i wish i have stuff to pack... at least i'll bwe sitting in an air-conned room w things to do... to think i used to detest those days... sigh.. humans r juz so co0ntradicting.. they wld only know how to appreciate things after experiencing the worse... but then... i can always tell myself... the worse has yet to come... juz to be optimistic...
my 8 hrs at carrefour c~r~a~w~l~l~e~d by n finally... today is over... tml is 12-8... that's good cos besides dinner... i can look forward to a few minutes of shopping b4 going home..
alright... enuf complaining.. time to get my beauty slp for tml... gotta brainstorm for stuff to do... nitey nitez~
