23:01 . and its all over. i am a free MAN.
23:01 . my final punch out in VENEZIA . i just had a mixed feeling after punching out. i will definitely miss my colleagues in the airport [yiwen,eugenia,caroline jie,helicia, yiting, derek, huishan, huili , yvonne, chase]..my compass pt partners[esther JIE, yew siong, kae ling] .. taka mates[ pei yoke, sophia, ah zi and sian lin] , tiong bahru , [aunty jean ].. yup !! ALL THE BEST TO ALL OF YOU .. though we never really hang out or talk much.. but working with you guys have definitely made a difference in my life.. all the gossips , the jokes, the bingo games [me and helicia], all the snatching of customers[kiasu sia] ,the adrenaline rush , the nonstop explosions of customers..=] ..my last two days were HECTIC and tiring .. on saturday .. my shop made 1150 dollars highest in venezia's airport's history .. i was proud to be one of the team on that day..yiwen my manager even congratulated me .. yay!! today was the 2nd highest which was 987 dollars.. kudos to eugenia ,caroline , yvonne and yiwen who had made this happen..
reflection time : i shall touch on my experience from work. Being in the service industry for 3 months, i had come across so many types of customers.. the picky ones, the jolly ones, the meticulous one , the 'just want to make your day miserable' ones.. the understanding ones, and many many more.. well , meeting such people had taught me one thing.. patience. no matter how they react or order us around , we always have to keep up with them, smile and always give our best. when they say you're in the wrong, don't waste time defending ourselves.. just serve them a new item.. and end off with a line'' have a nice day'' or CHEERS..=].. i might sound submissive.. but in such cases..making the customers happy would leave a much better impression rather than talking cock and bull story seeing who is right or wrong.. yup..seeing them happy when i serve ice creams or coffees just make my day instantly.. haha.. when we are impressed by someone's service , tell or praise their efforts sincerely.. service crews will be 101% more glad to hear that..apart from honesty , punctuality and being responsible in anything we do, we always have to take the initiative to make sure our stocks are sufficient and be on the ready to help out our other colleagues.. those in the f&b industry.. you would understand what i mean.. those going to take up a job in this sector.. just prepare your mind k..
ah yes.. enuff abt WORK!!! i am FWEE.. oh my, will i get used to my slack life right now? not touching foreign currencies? .. not scooping ice creams ?. not steaming the milk for capuccino?aihz.. im already feeling the effects of not working le... sighs.. anyways..im looking forward to meeting up with my niece , ziping , and my angklung friends again in sequence.. and coincidentally, every meeting takes place in BUGIS.. yes thank god. oh which means i gotta sleep early tonyt .. gotta start packing my stuff to go home which is on tuesday..
hmmx.. since i have stopped work ... i gotta spend some time thinking of things that i wanna buy for myself.. with my hard earned money.. i have some t shirts on my mind, a few pants, posters , perhaps a CRUMPLER bag.. hahaha .. i know i have like 7 bags at home.. aihz.. but i wanna get something that i can be proud of .. having lived a poor life[finance] .. i'm always calculative when it comes to expensive things ..except for food.. k for example.. a very nice shirt that costs 70 dollars .. first thing that comes to mind is this
" whoa, 70 dollars ah, how often would i wear this ?if i put in washing machine will it lose colour?70 dollars can buy 2 weeks of lunch .. " ya you know .. these kinda thoughts just come to mind.. aihz.. put simply i always convince myself that i can always use that 70 dollars for better things.. that's why u can see that i have poor fashion sense... i jz wear simple clothes.. and most of the time my brother's shirts.. hehe.. alot of my friend say i look like an uncle wearing all those checkered shirts, polo t shirts.. haha ..whatever lah.. i am jz the guy who emphasises on comfort over fashion.. perhaps , a very beautiful princess will come into my life and only she might be able to free me from this prison of simplicity.. we shall wait and see lah..
for nw , shall be paying my sis a few hundred dollars for the utilities and groceries for the house.. a way to repay my elder siblings for taking care of my handphone bills and lodging .. one love for my family.. another few hundred to cover my driving lessons.. hehe.. the rest i shall just save for future use
reflection time 2: this sunday afternoon , i was enjoying my economy rice with 1 cup of 'kopi ping' in the air conditioned kopitiam . from where i sat , i saw alot of families around me , but what caught my eyes were children playing gameboys , psp , and nintendo ds and children playing catching around the tables.. and the highlight . a mother scolding her child. firstly, seeing them holding these high tech interactive gadgets just amazes me .. oh my god.. such luxurious lives for these kids.. i dun even remember playing console games during my time.. alll i could remember vividly was to ride bicycles with my friends.. playing 'masak masak' a.k.a cooking with my cousins in the village, tossing marbles, playing MY BROTHER"s toys by the staircase..talking to myself during play and bath times.. wow.. i suddenly feel so weird.. yes i admit the age gap and the new ''techie' environment.. but even i myself dont play such cool console games NOW.. will these children enjoy the real playing games.. would they be forever be 'trapped' in that gaming world.. god bless them yah.. hopefully their CCAs will make a difference in their mentality..
another thing, the fact they are playing such gadgets tells me only two things.. is either they were rewarded for maybe, good results or plainly pampered.. my instincts are more inclined towards the latter.. i mean.. i don't envy these kids.. but of all things.. they get to play the new techie stuffs.. haha .. i fear that parents are really spoiling their children.. and children these days are getting much much more rebellious.. let's not talk abt singapore itself.. even my family's side in m'sia .. my nephews can be so rude that they can even scold my aunts stupid. the younger generation against my elderlies.. omg.. and at this particular food court today.. i saw a child talking back to his mum slumberly with that irritating ,'i know i am right ' kinda arrogant tone.. i mean that's absolutely unacceptable.. haha.. if my mum was there.. a tight slap will just do the trick. and if ever u rebel more , more slaps will just come .. this proportionality simply rox. haha..so i pondered, is it the child's personality or the parent''s upbringing.personality is influenced by the upbringing, peer attitude and atmosphere. it's not easy being a parent.. look at this dilemma, you treat your child nice, he /she might turn out nice, or else , eventually be bold enough to step over your head. if you are too strict with the child, the child will develop this restricted mindset and gradually build up a tensed rebellious feeling.. ah .. how did our parents do it.. my mum hits and disciplines me.. my dad just keeps out of it.. its a mother do it all affair in my case.. haha..should i be a good daddy or 'evil' daddy ?! haha.. klah i shall be more realistic.. let's find a gf 1st... talking too much crap le..
what a long entry today.. those who are still reading this.. hope you guys arent blur ya .. hehehe..good luck to those having their major events around the corner .. my pimp for his nationals.. the gals are at the other end of the rainbow yah.. MALAYSIA BOLEH k.. my buddies having their interviews to enter MEDICINE and school of economics.. all the best ya.. remember what is your passion.. those quitting their jobs soon... let's have a proper break k .. =] . money is not everything .. its the experience ... eh no lah.. ultimately it's the money lah yah.. lol.. singapore dollar 'wan sui wan wan sui' .. with the currency of 2.31 ..i'll be rich in m'sia . kamsahamida.
