Weee... Yesterday was a day attached to Sentosa Tour Desk. I had to follow one of the Tour Host, Adeline, when she carried out her tour. My purpose for the day was to understand how the tour was carried out.
Our first stop was Underwater World. After the guests were on their own, we toured around the area. I was brought to the Fish Spa to have a look. It was soooo interesting! I was very tempted to put my legs in to feed the fishes! =P
Second stop was the Cine Blast. Adeline helped me get a complimentary ticket into 4D Magix for the pirates show (it's just beside each other actually). It was a show filled with surprises! You'll not know what will happen when! When the crabs bit the bad guy, you could actually feel it biting your legs too! At one point, when one of the pirates spit water from his mouth, Water actually was splashed on my face!!! It was like "ewwwww..."
After Cine Blast, Adeline got a ticket for me for the Cine Blast. In there, a tourist sitting beside me had problems with his seat belt. So... I lent him my hand. I mean I helped him with the seat belt. A person (which is me) with service background/ experience will help a person who is struggling for help. Hee...
After the tour, half a day was gone. After lunch, Azmar brought Gabriel (a sales person who started work on the same day as me and also from T&T) and me to Chinatown Heritage Centre (CHC).
All the time I walked passed the place without knowing that it's a museum! We went in and walked around. After our first round of walk, Azmar left us to walk around on our own. After walking for a while, we met Gedeon with his tour group. So, we decided to blend in and hear him conduct a tour. I found it interesting when he talked about the funerals and 'professional mouners'.
In the past, these 'professional mouners' were hired to cry at the funeral of the deceased! He said that in some way or another, the deceased will feel/know that they are missed in the mortal world. He also joked, "don't be surprised when someone passed you a namecard with the profession stating "Professional Mouners".
Halfway through, we decided not to continue with his tour because they were at the cubicles. These cubicles were the 'homes' of the people who used to stay there. They were tiny rooms. They're actually smaller than or around the same size as my store room! In these rooms, many stayed together. One room used to be the house of a family with 5 children! I think....
After CHC, we went back to Sentosa. I continued to stay at the Tour Desk while Azmar took Gabriel around before sending him back to the office. For me, I slacked till it was time to go back home.
After work, it was mooovie time! Luanne, Xinyi and their friends got food into the cinema. I was one of them too... =P It was like we're having a feast in there! Ms Wong who was sitting somewhere in front could smell our food! =P
Oh! The movie we watched was Horton! "Helloooooo..." "I know you're iiiiinn thereeeee..." Luanne and I kept saying these to irritate people.. =P
After the movie, it was home sweet home. When I was back home, I was dead tired!
Today, I was attached to the ticketing counter at Harbourfront Cable Car. It was kinda boring there. How I wished I could open a counter and sell tickets too.... =( The whole morning to afternoon, I sat beside Ben to see how he sell. And to pass tickets for Songs of the Sea (SOS) to whoever sold any.
Soon, it was lunch time. After lunch, I had to wait for Clinton before going back to the office. He had to transfer some of his knowledge to me... I mean teach me some new stuff... =P
After teaching me how to do the Operations Order, he had to leave for the island.. leaving me in the office. Before he left, he left me with some work to do. He said they can last till 6pm and then I can go back home. However, I finished them at 5pm! After that, I had totally nothing to do liao. Actually there's lots of things to do. But I'm not taught how to yet... =P
Luckily Noelle and Steven said that there's something to pass to me. Noelle taught me about the forms. Steven taught me the endorsement for the SOS tickets. I did the tickets till about 630pm. After that, Steven brought me to Sentosa to show me where to endorse the tickets. After everything was done, it was already about 745pm...
After the endorsement, I had to go back to Harbourfront Cable Car to pass them their roster for next month and the SOS tickets before I can finally go home.
When I reached home, I was starving.... =(
Nightmare is starting... Days of working late are coming soon....

1st day at new workplace!
I woke up unwillingly. I'm so not used to waking up early after slacking for so long.
Time seem to pass super fast there. Without knowing, it's time for lunch or to knock off! It's the first time I've sat the cable car sooooo many times within a day!
Wonder how tomorrow will be...

I've been sleeping alot lately... No matter how much I sleep, I still feel sleepy... Zzzz... This morning, I woke up and felt a lump around my stomach area. Maybe I'm just dreaming... Maybe it's just my bone... =P
On Good Friday, my bro brought his girlfriend home. I got a shock when I saw her... I shall not discuss why... If you wanna know, just ask me... Shall keep it a secret.. =P
Out if all the girls he had been with, I'm only fond of 2 of them. One of them used to bring lots of tibits whenever she come. Another was his recent ex who has a cute dog. My mom doubt his new relationship will last. It seems like that to me too.
Anyways... At night was Samuel's BBQ at Addy's sis place. I was so proud of myself that day because I've only been there a few times but I managed to walk there all by myself! Actually, I almost lost my way because I walked towards the wrong direction. Luckily, I realised it early and U-turned back. I found my way there by recognising how the building looks and a dog which was taking its walk. =P
During the BBQ, I kept spreading honey on the food. It felt very fun leh.. In the end, I got scolded. -.-"

I'm totally pissed!
I'm slow at replying sms because sometimes I don't feel like pressing the buttons. And... I'm EXTREMELY slow at replying when I'm working.
Today, this idiot (a friend I knew from SPSE and had not contacted since I left the club) messaged me out of sudden. I was in the middle of irritating Addy. So, I didn't reply him when I saw his message. After that, I've forgotten about it.
Then about 45minutes later, he sms-ed again. "Wei.. can reply or not?" I was confused by his tone. What's the problem with him? So, I reply him that I'm busy at the moment. Then he said, "call me when u r done." I totally ignored him.
Then, when I was taking a nap, he msg me again asking if I'm selling PSP. I replied him after I woke up from my nap which was 2 hours later. He continued to sms me but I was slow in replying because I was doing something. Then he sent another msg that made me pissed. "Are all the girls who are a little prettier than other girls so irritating? Sms them, never reply de."
Firstly, I didn't say I'm pretty. Secondly, I DID reply but kinda slow.
So, I replied him.. "Excuse me, mister. Watch ur tone please." To me, he was getting rude and overboard. Who is he and what rights does he have to use that kinda tone to talk to me? If he was polite, I would gladly reply his sms. Now, I'm totally not replying him at all...
Call me petty... But he's the one who started it first.

After getting someone to replace my shift for today, I ended up at home instead of going out... I stayed in my room, in my bed, from the moment I woke up until now... Only left my room to wash up, get my breakfast and some drinks. I feel like staying in bed the whole day, under my blanket...
Yesterday, we went to sing @ Partyworld. With the 'Power of 3', Xiusi, Meihua and I sang our Ra-men Song. It was quite fun. Halfway, I don't feel like working the next day. So, I asked Hidayah if she could take back her shift. Unfortunately, she took over Matt's shift. I asked Jason if he wanna work but I got rejected. =( In the end, I asked Jiahui. And... HE AGREED TO WORK! 不愧是 Mr Nice Guy. I happily msg to try to arrange a date since I'll be free the whole day.
After singing, we made our way to the National Museum. We managed to 'educate' uncle that we're able to walk from Orchard to Dhoby Ghaut. When we're finally at the museum, we're fascinated by one of the exhibits and started playing with it. Then, we went for our dinner a Chef Chan's.
The service there was good. I like the melon with orange juice best. After some drinks at the museum, we decided to head home.
Since there wasn't any reply for the msg I sent out earlier, I decided to call. But I was kinda upset when I heard the tone of the voice.
I decided not to go for coffee at Kovan. Instead, I went to Aljunied. While waiting, I had the sudden urge of taking a bus back home. My mind kept wandering around. I walked around the MRT area before waiting for Eileen. After meeting up with her, we went to Eddie's car and off we go to Geylang.
Eileen poured out her sorrow yesterday.
On the way back, what I've been told made me totally lost the mood for the date. "I can only go out for a while" said in an angry tone was like meaning that not interested in going out. What's the point of going out for lunch and a short walk which may last like 2hours? So, I canceled the date and decided that I would go out by myself.
Come to think of it, I can actually work and then go get the stuff I need after work...
Last night, I wanted to ask someone if I've done something wrong. But after looking at the people around me, I decided not to give them any more problems. They have enough of their own problems already...
...
The sky was overcast the whole night. It started to rain the moment I stepped into my house... It continued to rain till morning... Till now, it's still raining...

Did I go all the way there to get reprimanded?
I almost wanted to cry out at that time... But when I saw her teary eyes, I managed to hold mine back...
But I kept thinking to myself... Did I go all the way there to get reprimanded?

I used to like my freedom.
My freedom of going anywhere I like... My freedom of traveling with my friends... My freedom of studying where I like... My freedom of working where I want... My freedom of going out with whoever I like... My freedom of... everything I have...
Recently, I starting to doubt this freedom I used to have. Maybe in the past, I've abused it. Maybe people are starting to become more protective... Maybe... For some reasons that I don't understand at all.
I've been explained why I'm not able to go to some places. I've been explained why I can't do this or that. But I simply just can't understand.
To me, the truth is what I see with my eyes. I can't understand and believe what others say or tried to show me... Because, I believe what I see. I believe them...

Suzana got engaged that day! Congrats!
Hidayah and I were saying that she's the youngest among us but the first to get engaged. It was my first time attending to a Malay engagement ceremony. When Su's father was leading the prayer, I could see that his eyes were red.
After the engagement, we went to Tiong. Together with Patrick, we went to play pool. He brought us to a country club @ Queenstown. After playing a few rounds, they started to become crazy. They were SUPER happy when the black ball went in first. -.-' At one point of time, I was lucky. They saw it and started to vent their anger on my mentose! -.-"
I'm tired of working liao... Please wish me some luck in finding a new job...

Today has another problematic customer. She had only bought 3 tickets but 4 of them (2 adults, 2 children) went in. The forth one who was hiding at the back of his grandma just went passed me.
I went into the cinema and asked the shortest child to take her height. The mother was unwilling to come out. She said, "Last time, I went to Plaza and Jurong Point also don't need to buy a ticket. How come now I have to buy?" "Maybe can she come out for a while to take her height to confirm whether she needs a ticket anot," I told her. She didn't wanna move at all and started making a scene in the cinema. I didn't have time to argue with her because I had a crowd at the usher point. Just then, Mdm Chin was back! I told her about that customer and she went in to talk to that customer. That customer talked really loud. I felt embarrassed for her.
In the end, she paid for the ticket with a voucher. Quickly, I went to process the ticket. A few minutes after, she said she wanna scan her card for some 'points'. I told her that vouchers doesn't entitle her for anything but she insisted that she was right.
Before the lights were off, I went in to check the cinema. More than 5 minutes had passed and she was still mad. She counted and complained loudly that there's only 12 people watching the show and that she wanna beat someone up.
That customer's attitude sucks like hell. If she's a little better, maybe I can offer her a cheaper ticket price.
I just hope that her children won't be like her in the future. If not, she will be the one who'll be suffering.

One day, I was carrying a box into CB... Being a bit slow, my leg got caught by the door again... -.-" Immediately, I dropped the box in my hand. At that moment, it was too pain for me to move.
Then, everyone started to become dramatic.... It was only a scratch... Zhongming asked me to sit down... Hidayah asked me to use ice to soothe the pain...
Ms Wong asked me what happened. When she saw the scratch, she asked, "Need put scotch tape anot???" I totally don't understand why muz put scotch tape on my scratch. Hidayah asked, "why scotch tape?"
Ms Wong thought about it for a while before realising she made a mistake... Throughout the day, Hidayah and I kept laughing at Ms Wong's mistake... =P
