Over?
Friday, September 26, 2008
finally, I've finished my Overnight shifts for the week.
not easy working from 11pm to 7am.
while people are sleeping, my hands and brain is moving and thinking.
of course, minus away the stupid customers, earning allowance and clearing stocks.
it's rather tiring...
my life seems to turn upside down.
sleep during the day and work through the night.
didn't sleep well in the day coz of the big hot sun.
the noises from the construction of my housing area is quite disturbing too.
all my meals time are mixed up.
i can't swallow dinner, only managed a few spoonful and that's it.
my mum said due to the heatness in my body and plus I just woke up at the kind of timing, so no appetite.
she make sure I drink a bottle of bird's nest before I leave for work.
can't really eat in the middle of the night around 3am.
i think I saved my pocket money the past week.
i only ate bread and biscuits with plain water.
no appetite but I eat to have energy to last the night through.
fortunately, my team of staff are fun-loving in some ways and they did bring some laughter these nights.
having target set daily to clear out the stocks to the shopfloor is quite a challenge.
it's festive season and school holidays soon at the end of the year.
more and more stocks are flowing in continuously.
my boss said he wanted overnight shifts for the whole of October.
but November, I'm a fully an 'owl'.
oh well, that's my job and I have to do it.
just when I thought it's over...
cheer me on, my dear friends.
Adventure
Sunday, September 21, 2008
just this morning, i went to walk the southern ridge.
for such a lazy and unadventureous person like me is almost like a miracle.
well, since ms ginn and ms joey done it, why not me?
so, i met my dear friend at 9am this morning to take on the adventure together.
of course, with such a long and tedious walk, we must build up our energy level with a nice breakfast of chee cheong fun at alexandra food market.
prawn chee cheong fun
char siew chee cheong fun
we started the walk around 10.40am.
arrived at the hortpark and saw quite a number of people (families, tourists, teenagers, elderly)around the area.
never knew it will be so popular among s'poreans and tourists.
the very designed bridge did seem like a nice welcome attraction into the the journey of parks.
the view was rather nice, like some kind of rainforest.
fortunately, the bridges were nicely built up, otherwise, i don't think i can survive in this kind of environment.
thanks to my sister who suggested me to bring an 'iced' water bottle as it definitely comes in handy.
with such a big bright and hot sun, drinking down cold iced water sure makes me feel better despite the long journey.
plus a cap sponsored by my sister as well, it sure covers my eyes and head; prevent heat stroke and i can see my way ahead with my eyes big big.
we walked through - alexandra arch, forest walk, hilltop walk, henderson waves, faber walk and came down to marang trail (just behind harbourfront mrt station).
we took about 2 hours to complete the walk including phototaking along the way.
it's better to let the photos do the talking.
enjoy!
hhhmmm... i think this adventure is a nice way to spend with friends and family but please be prepared to walk and walk, up and down, round and round.
though i didn't start from one end to the other but this 'short' journey already awaken my long asleep muscles.
i'm feeling abit of aching on my leg muscles now...
Poison
Saturday, September 20, 2008
today, I've heard the most poisonous thing said by this creature.
but I have to thank my colleague for bringing this up in front to me and my boss so he can hear the truth from my own mouth.
well, what did that poisonous creature said?
it 'feedback' to my boss that I don't like to work overnight shifts.
since when did I ever say that coz I don't even feel that way before.
that's absurd!
i was kinda' shock when I heard that.
when my boss asked me, I looked at him and replied sternly that I have NEVER said that and will not as I have never felt that way.
1st: I can clear some stocks out from my receiving room.
2nd: I needn't face stupid customers.
3rd: I can earn some allowance.
It's all beneficial to me why would i don't like!
that creature couldn't get my support and be on its side as it speaks of some unreasonable things about work.
i do not agree with it.
and as I do not want to take sides, I told it straight 'I don't want to know.' 'I don't want to get involved.'
i reckoned it wasn't happy and make up stories about me to my boss behind my back.
now I just feel like, I want to confront her 'who told her', 'where did she hear from.'
its has just gone overboard.
beware of retribution!
you who speaks of poison from your creature mouth.
Ain't No Topic
Sunday, September 14, 2008
i just finished my overnight shift (11pm to 7am).
time flies when there isn't customers 'interrupting' me with questions and enquiries when on shopfloor.
so, I managed to do some quality and quantity work.
now, feeling fresh from the morning sun, I decided to blog.
yesterday, I had a request asking me to blog.
reason was 'looking forward to read what I wrote.'
that makes me smile.
well, I'm not those who can blog everyday.
i need to be inspired or be affected by certain things which trigger my brain cells to work.
you can say, I'm rather lazy.
as I was born in the year of Snake, my mum tends to call me 'lan sey' - in cantonese (meaning Lazy Snake).
but of course, when there's a need to be hardworking, I'm definitely am.
i'm not into any specific topic today but just feel like sharing some thoughts.
life will not necessary go as you plan.
what you plan may not be what you want.
what you want may not really bring you happiness.
sometimes, somehow, it would be good to let natural takes it course.
don't be too hard on yourself to make it work.
some things are not just up to you.
it takes two hands to clap.
as long as you know you have put your heart and mind to it, your conscience is clear that is the most important.
people may not know it now, doesn't mean they will not know forever.
it's not that it won't happen, it's just isn't time yet.
be patient and things will fall into place in time to come.
i'm not sure if the aboved words can help to 'enlighten' or be of some advice to my dear friends.
i know we may not in the best of our lives everyday but as long as we can pick ourselves up from where we fell... that is already a big step to success.
we must always learn to move on and not to linger on the same spot.
the world will not stop just because of you.
we have much better and important things to do in our lives.
so, my dear friends... how do you feel today?
