hey, finally an update! haha. this one's gonna be pretty long i guess.. lots to blog abt.. let's see. i started workin at Zen Florist & Hamper Pte Ltd (i think), located at Wisdom Industrial Building in Bishan last monday.. gawd.. it's been quite a tough life haha. hmm. first of all, ive had to wake up lik really early.. and it's such a change from my sleep-in-till-noon lifestyle that i had before workin.. yeah.. so that took some time geddin used to. but i think even up till now i aint getting enuf rest =( i shld be sleeping by now.. but waitin for my hair to dry la. haha.
k.. so i started off at the Hamper Section packing pyramid-shaped hampers.. supervised by this cute lil Hokkien-speakin old uncle.. he's nice to me but ive heard plenty of stories of how niao he can be to other ppl (even to e extent of causin em to quit) do i look too guai or smth? haha. or maybe cuz i dont even understand what he's saying. on my first day of work i met this other uncle from SGH. he's a food technician/nutritionist there. he was really nice and friendly, and helped me take ingredients n even cooperated with me on packing hampers.. we had lunch together. den e next day he ran off to FarEastFlora! haha sheesh. another guy at my workplace even commented that he'd thought that uncle was my bf! lik wtf?!! that uncle mustve been 40 at least? ewww. well not long after that i got suddenly transferred to the Basket Section to pack... baskets. (duh) ok aniwae i enjoyed it lots more there =)) was really relieeeeved when my supervisor there cld speak mandarin and even english!! haha! yay, at last i wasn't in some foreign country. hmm but most of da time i speak to her in mandarin.. she's a really nice motherly figure.. always jokin ard with us (she's even capable of making dirty jokes la! how cool is that) i can talk to her abt all my probs.. i feel really at ease ard her. and she likes me a lot! haha. she's always promoting me to the young guys there =.=" how embarrassing. she sings my praises.. and she's lik really nice to me la. and to the other 2 guys workin at my section.. Kah Joo and Fang Ee. both are younger den me. KJ looks like a gangster sorta, while FE can be damn slack and bratty sometimes.. haha. both are nice tho =) FE loves to make dumb jokes juz to hear me laugh cuz he's scared when i dont smile, he thinks i look fierce. *shakes head* both the auntie and FE refer to me as "jie jie" haha! hmm both guys smoke.. when they start lighting up, i move far far away. but they dont smoke in the packing area, thankfully. today KJ smoked there tho, becuz one of the storemen broke a wine bottle and they wanted to mask the wine smell. haha. shocking. well we really look out for each other ard here.. the boss (Eric) smokes too! and he smokes inside the packing area! when he's approaching us, his odour reaches us before he does! bleh. i always haf trouble breathing when he comes ard with his ciggies. in fact these few days ive felt my chest hurt becuz of second-hand smoke i think. today i felt sick la.. like headache, chestpain.. felt kinda faint. haiiix. its kinda funny to think that i dont haf any frens who smoke.. juz shows how diff the environment ive grown up in is from the environment that others were exposed to.. so so diff.. *muses* ohwell. aniwae, luckily ive got these peeps ard to keep my workin life interesting. it's fun to suan and hear the suaning of FE. but he's weird la. he'll collapse on the table in "depression" den he'll start actin all sulky and refuse to work. *shrugs* KJ is a lot more rational and hardworkin alr.. and he's a lot nicer once ya get to know him i guess. he was real dao at first.. but he smiles a lot more nowadays.. haha. we share knowing looks whenever FE gets into one of his drama-mama moods. they all think im lik the most hardworkin person there.. i juz keep quiet and pack my baskets, observing all the activity ard me. they're even teaching me hokkien! haha. i know only a few words now.. today i was too tired to clarify with em when they spoke hokkien tho. was real tired today.. nth is fixed in my workplace. it's like, we can be packing AW210 den the storeman wil suddenly rush in and tell us they need 10 AW208s or smth. it's quite hectic and disorganised. ppl can leave as and when they want, and e boss can lik suddenly request us to work OT till 8 pm.. siao right. and e worst thing is, we can be packin halfway and discover we've run outta one of the ingredients.. den must stone ard and wait for the ingredients to be delivered.. den FE will start complainin bout how sian he is.. haha.. den my feet will start to hurt.. i nv sit down once in the whole day lo.. except durin lunch.. haiix. that's why my thigh and calf muscles r bigger now. today i nearly pulled my sole muscle tho.. was lik flexing my foot after standing for a long time and felt the muscles seize up suddenly. scary la. oh my biceps are much bigger now too. haha. if only i cld do whole body toning while working. kill 2 birds with one stone. last week the 2 guys wanted to quit but they decided to stay after e boss gave all of us a pay raise.. so now im earning more money everyday =) it's tough work tho. seriously tough work.. bleh. i wish i cld pack faster =( sigh. i feel so slloooowww.. and the boss thinks im slooowwww and today i was so slllooooowww cuz i was so darn tired.. and FE took that chance to suan me.. haha i glared at him and he backed off. ohwell. kk enuf bout work. my parents r bugging me to quit =.= i wish they cld juz let me complete this job. it's not lik ive forgotten abt my driving lo.
on sunday huixin and i had our last Level 1 lesson! =D den we went Queensway to buy rollerblades with our instructors =) im still v lousy at blading.. i keep screaming and crashing into walls.. i think soon enuf my chest will become washboard alr. lol. i crash into ppl too. huixin and i always crash into each other. and i keep "flapping" and making all sorts of other crazy gesticulations.. hehe. queensway is a frickin cool place to shop =D gonna shop there one day with huixin. jeans at 20 bucks onli! but im gonna get a branded pair when i finally slim down enuf to get a longterm size =D jeans are smth u shld invest in.. speaking of invest, i paid $304 for my entire set of skates n protective gear.. siao right. my mom said im wasteful. ohwell. its a good pair of skates. durable and fast. same model that my instructors r using! haha. and it's pro-lookin too. it wont look so pro when im in them tho. heh. this wed huixin asked me out to skate =) i bought one of those canvas bags that maids use to pack all their stuff when they go home. mine's a smaller size tho. yep went looking for bags today at Bukit Timah Plaza aft work to put my skates in.. wasn't successful. i bought 3 pairs of FBT shorts tho! XD white, black and silver. hooray! always dun haf my size (L) lo =.= so i bought XL instead. damn big la. hahah. oh before we entered Queensway huixin and i were tryin to guess our instructors' zodiac signs.. den we were totally off la.. we were guessing air and fire signs.. haha but in the end they turned out to be Scorp and Pisces, both of which are water signs. -.- diao. ohwell aside from one of my ex-flings, i dont know any male pisceans.. haha but i guess it's quite obvious why our instructors are so chummy.. scorp n pisces make a good match! haha. lik changx n me =))
hmm ok last thing to blog abt before i head off to bed.. things r geddin quite intense between my buddy and i.. we went out on another date (our second) on sat.. gosh.. things heated up huh? haha. well it was great fun at e supermarket again.. hehe.. whenever i think of it ill smile. i dno man we juz manage to have fun whereever.. it's a good thing. i realised that im lik.. the one who keeps on touching him. lik when we cross e road ill put my hand on his back. maybe cuz im a dominant person? i do that to changx too.. i dno. but his skin is damn smooth la! haha ok i feel a lil sick. if u knew what's been going through my mind, ud agree.. aniwae.. he sent me home.. and we held hands! =)) it's been such a long time since i last felt smth like that. it was lik.. a tingle that spread all the way up from my belly to my heart and back down to.. to.. there. haha. it felt really good la. and it felt good hugging him too. he hugs real tight! i wish i cldve thrown caution to the winds and juz accepted him there n then.. but i can't. this time im too afraid to juz jump into anyth. if it were any other guy i think i wldnt really care that much.. but he's my best fren and i love him too much to even risk him geddin hurt. haiiix. ive really been thinking a lot a lot.. i mean, i want to give us a fighting chance.. i dont think that we haf much of a chance if we start now. yet, i dont want him to wait for me.. it's like.. sigh. so complicated. the auntie at my workplace told me im worrying too much.. if i worry too much, there'll be lik, a self-fulfilling prophecy.. but im really really scared this time u know? im terrified. yet in my heart i know i want to get into a relationship with him. still.. my brain is telling me to chill. im quite over all that romantic idealism, the view that oh love will conquer all and we'll juz try and see how it goes blah blah becuz it's too risky.. ive been there, done that, and i dont wanna relieve those painful days.. i really want it to work out.. and personally i dont think im ready for a r/s yet.. i havnt fully recovered from my previous one.. i want to make sure this aint a rebound r/s. cuz my buddy deserves much more than that. yeah. well, this weekend we'll talk. ill prob get all sad n emotional and i hope i get a sympathy hug! haha... ohwell.
im such a horny horny lil shit... *shakes head*
