im happy i finish work. really im happy, yet im not happy cause ive gotta start school. well i dont dread school, but neither do i look foward to it. cause itz a new term, means a totally new beginning? i dont know anyone in my class, aside from shirin! thankfully! :) but of course, it's a new term and new goals and a new start! guess dis term is gonna be quite busy for me, ive gotta complete more than just this term but two project-like stuff? shrugs. Bad shit i tell u. but school's school! It's like the rain, as much as some times we hate rainny days, without it there never will be a formation of a rainbow rt? so without studying i guess our future, more often than not, will be very grim? well dats for sg of cuz! shrugs!
read nelson's blog and he was talking abt working experience. haha, yah i guess it's true! some times working is more productive than studying, tiring that's of course, but neveraless productive. Cause when you work, if gifs u that purpose, a drive to do something. Yesh money may be the drive in this case but look pass the end result. Everyone studying will get an O Lvl cert(whatever the grades may be), but the proceess of gettin' to there is what matters. just lyk working these 5 days, the process of working taught me alot of things. Taught me patiences, kindness! it taught me what a "true direction" is, and taught me what Kevin Yup often taught us during his lesson, of being VALUE ADDED! ya and i learnt how to package stuff of course. Patiences being that some customers are merely farked up to the max, trust me they are! but in service line u cant exactly flare up at your customers! so it taught me how to wait and tahan. it might take a while but you'll get it done once the time is right. Often in life isnt it that? you may want something so bad! so bad it pains u not to have it each day, but thru that, if you can learn how to be patient and wait, the thing will naturally just come to you? Guess patiences is something u cultivate, over time and over experiences. I was feeling quite screwed up dis morning waiting for nelson, he made me wait 30 minutes but at the end of the day, thinking of it makes me realise that perhaps God was teaching me a lesson that if u wait patiently, and perhaps long enuff(or short), it might just eventually end up with you? well i dunnoe! guess it one of those question that cant be answered with mere human understanding?
kindness and helpfulness was something the two cashiers that i was helping out taught me in a way i didnt expect really. They're Jobs are just to cash, really just cashing but even while cashing they took the effort to help me pack stuff, and more often than now i just end up holding the plastic bag while they pack the stuff into the bag. plus they just kept letting my punctually off for my lunch, even if the person taking over me wasnt on time. they insisted that i go and have my lunch on time? i didnt really expect that at all? i tot being lyk aunties and stuff they'll insist on me staying on and helping them until my replacement came. Thinking if i was in their shoes and looking at the crpwds and stuff they need to pack? i'll make sure i dont do it alone! but being them they taught me how to be kind to others and making sure that whatever the circumstances is, think of others before yourself? guess that could be counted as being humble. but in that process of showing how to be humble, they taught me a diff. idea of kindness and helpfulness. They were really nice, although they often bullied me! lOl. but still nice.
well it's not lyk i didnt try to cash of course! but my teacher once said smth that i really believe in, what makes a "good worker" from a "valued added worker" is a very thin line. perhaps both can do their job to the BEST of their abilities if not better, but a good worker can only manage to do his/her work to the best, while a valued added work can go beyond his/her work and into areas which he might not be skilled in but yet aidding those areas and making those areas excel. he cld do two people's jobs, although not to the best of two pple's ability but to a certain standard worthy enuff. That makes a "valued added worker". Guess in times where everyone is gettin lyk fired and retrenched and stuff? What will make your boss keep u is really you being a "valued added worker"? being able to add value to yourself and in the process adding value to the company? something a Good worker might not be able to do? I did more den just pack stuff for my cashier, i ran around and checked prices for customers, helped lead customers to departments where they needed to find stuff. helped other packagers pack stuff making their lifes easier. stupid you may call me, but i feel it's thru this helpfuness, that you build respect, and in the process also adding value to your exsisting job. Guess it's kinda lyk an econs thing? i learnt it before during "Enterprise" module, althought i didnt understand it but i guess i do now. haha, pple studying now wldnt really find that applicable i guess. :)
well i dunnoe if i'll miss the pple at work, but i sure will treasure the experiences and memories i had working there. haha, and that tattoo girl rocks my socks! haha! plus the times i had to handle bras and panties! Bleah never touched so much in my entire life as compared to those 5 days. haha ... nelson if ure reading this u shld know wad im gonna say next! (texture quite ...) hahahahahahaha. sicko freako! =p
haha, i had fun working really, that i wldnt deny! thanks for intro-ing me the job nelson. Now it's turn for u to start studying, and i mean serious studying! that goes for you too leonard heng! i know ure sleeping at home, i know you are! dont lie to me u Forking guy! YOU SCOLD BAD WORDS! k, dats an inside joke! same for you all my bros out dere k? including those punk sec1s and special pple in my life. :) Study hard for yr exams, be it O lvl, A lvl, final years examination, or just common understanding test. dere's a chinese saying called "first bitter than sweet" or "xian cu ho tian" ? i think! gosh my han yu ping yin is kind bad but hope u get the idea! mug hard for this monthh A lvl/O lvl suckers, and after your exams you all are free MOFOS! NO more staying at home on weekends and more importantly, da clubs will be flooded with babes n hunks and my house will be rocking with hindu pop all nite long! doors open at 6pm -winks- hahahaha! So in short, study hard and haf no regrets ya? :)
life's really a big learning process, so if you sick of learning now, think you're gonna get sick of life soon! since the first time u were born into this world, you started to learn. u learn how to cry, you learn how to breathe Oxygen, and more importantly you learn how to LIVE! school's not the only place to learn stuff, but life is the only place to learn stuff actually. haha, well take some times to let that sink it and understand it. isnt the statement that's easy to understand! :)
oh ya, expo's coffee bean is a great place to chill out! trust me it ish! nice and open space with really erm, alrite scenery! plus they play good music! haha, shld go check it out. it's near hall 2 i think. pretty unknown but nice of course!
im really thankful for my MD. haha, darn happy i went to buy it. It's really and im kinda safe to say my "best friend" haha. but not literally of course. my bros r still da best! :P.. the music i upload into may be sounds i like but some how i upload songs that i will enjoy at certain moods at those certain times. kinda helps me alot. Often some feelings and emotions cant be just lyk explain using literture, but a simple tune from a simple song could perfectly reflect it in ways that words cld never explain it. If you miss someone very dearly to you very much or kinda like just miss a person, go listen to the solo musical part of "yellowcard - gifts and curses"? or you can just download the song dammit! the song is nice :) that part just speaks so much words to me, more than a book could ever do. yet there's no words to that part. haha, weird aint it? there was this perfect 10 advertisement that had this guy with an "ax" stuck in his head or smth? den the caption went like "it's better to have a song stuck in your head?" haha, okok when i was typing the above pack that just came to me so i wrote it down. haha, dumb advertisement.
