Benefit

I've been lazy. Yet again. I have reasons though. During the one week of Chinese New Year holidays, I worked. Yes, you heard me. I WORKED. For one whole week, without any off day. I don't know what had gotten into me but since Benefit just opened in Sunway Pyramid, I figured, why not? Some of you might know that I've worked with Benefit for about a month or so during my break before I started my Degree. I worked at Benefit in Metrojaya in Midvalley. Yes, I traveled that far and went through the killer traffics just to get to work. So when Benefit opened in Sunway, which is 100th times nearer to my house, I went for it. The manager, James, knows I've worked with benefit before so he called me and agreed to let me work.

So, the night before I started working, I was so lazy and cursed at myself silently for putting myself into that situation. To dread myself everyday to go to work and all. Turned out, the first day wasn't that bad. The staffs and supervisor in Sunway were more fun and friendlier than the ones who worked in Midvalley. So I started to enjoy my work!

I thought I've forgotten everything about the products and how to treat the customers but hey, I did not. I won't say I did so good, but at least I know what to do every time a customer asked me to apply Benetint on their cheeks or when a customer asked me to do smokey eyes on her or what shade of two-way-cake is suitable for their skin. And proud to say, I still remember their prices. Though I'm sure the reason why I remember the prices is because I'm actually using Benefit's products :p

My supervisor is a Chinese, so she took a week off. And guess who she put in charge of the counter while she was away celebrating Chinese New Year? Yes, you've guessed it. Me! There were four of us working the whole week and the three girls just started working with Benefit. So they were not really familiar with the products and the prices. When there wasn't any customer, I taught them a little about the products, the prices, what does the make up base does, what's the function of That Gal and a bunch of other stuffs. I had so much fun with them working that I didn't want to stop on my last day. They always crack me up with stupid and dirty jokes!

I think I'm going to consider working again during my 5 months of holidays this mid year :)

Wow

As you can already see, I changed my blog skin. I'm starting to get a little bored with the previous one. So anyways, God forgive me for not updating yesterday. I swear I did on my laptop but then realised Daddy brought the broadband with him and I'm too lazy to ask my brother the password for the wireless. Work yesterday was bored like usual. Two of Benefit's supervisors came and only two minutes with them I felt like burning them in hell. I hate the look on their faces, the way they talk, the way they do everything is just plain annoying. I ignore them completely and I don't freaking care what they want to say. Hell, I don't even care if they want to fire me from that lame job because I did well on the sales yesterday, thankyouverymuch. I hope they won't be there tomorrow, fingers crossed. Tailed Mom to school this morning and came back with a tired face plastered. Changed without showering and dozed off in the living room until the moon came up. I think today's world's tiring day because everyone seems pretty gloomy throughout the day. Even the kids were not energetic for the dance training and I had to keep on reminding them to live up. Maybe everyone woke up today and realised life is pathetic or maybe some of them kick start their days with bad hair days.
Work again tomorrow and gosh, I don't even know what to wear. I'll have to raid my closet for black clothes later then. It's so sad that I have to do something I hate for these three days.

Mom, my brother and I argued about the kid that was shot by a cop. I personally think that cop is stupid. Better yet, almost all of the cops are plain stupid and I bet each and everyone of them is suffering from a family dilemma and they tend to release their stress by acting like a cow. Law stated that a cop can't pull the triger unless if they were being shot at. But in this case, that kid was only 15years young and probably afraid because he didn't own a driver's license while the cop has a mind of a 3years old. I told you I hate cops especially the narrow minded ones in Malaysia. They need to at least be educated and please, dunderheads, learn how to open up your mind. Don't think you're a cop, you can be an asshole. I'm starting to get suspicious that cops don't have brains. I bet the main rules and regulations on the application form to be a cop is 'you can't have a brain to be a police.' Pardon my french, but I'm just speaking up my mind.

Unlucky perhaps ?

Do you know how it feels like when you're barely half an hour late for work but when you're late, the person in charge or the floor executive to be exact, comes to the store out of nowhere just to check ? Yeap that was how I felt this morning. Yes I've been late to work a few times but not as late as today. I figured that its no biggie that Im late today, not everyday. So I took my own sweet time, asked daddy to stop for breakfast and stuffs. At 9.45am, Apeng called. I picked up the phone calmly, knowing there's nothing to be scared of. But when Apeng's voice sounded so urgent saying or ordering, you can say, me to be faster, I knew something is happening. And yes, Eileen, the floor Exec chose this day, the day I thought its okay to be late, to come and check the store. Wow, nice timing. I cursed silently but then I rushed and yes, she scolded me when I arrived. I know that is was really my fault for coming late, so I said sorry and I lied that I took the bus so I had to wait for the bus and stuffs when really, actually I was enjoying my breakfast. But she doesnt have to know that, does she ? Lol. So anyway, I sweat like a pig the first couple hours. I did the house keeping for the whole store alone. Swept the floor, cleaned the massive and tall glass windows and mirrors, scan the price tag for every single merchandise, cleaned the store room, took out the rubbish. I dont mind doing all the works, really because its fun instead of doing nothing like we always do. But Eileen followed me and kept lecturing me when I was doing those works. I couldnt stand her but I didnt say that to her face, obvie, though I really wanted to. But I didnt have the guts to. So anyway I had full shift and I couldn't be more tired that I am right now.

I cant wait for my salary to be banked in. I've listed what I want to buy with that money. Lol ;p

I think its my queue to go now when my eyes are half closed. So gonna hit the sacks now. Night

My first paycheck!

Work has been keeping me pretty busy. I'm having a fever, flu and sore throat which is driving me insane as I still have to work though I don't have the energy to stand up still on my feet. I ate a pack of biscuit and a roti canai the whole day and I don't even feel hungry. Wow, amazing since I always eat a lot.

I had to swipe, mop, clean the shop when I showed up late today at work. I received my first pay check today!! And I think the amount is, well, I dont know. Quite satisfying, I guess. Then again, knowing me, nothing is ever enough :p

Chin up, Cheer up

Sooo, work. Thats what kept me away from updating my blog for quite awhile. From updating at least once in a day, to once a week. I'm having a day off tomorrow. So yeah, that's why I'm still awake. Despite the cheerfulness I have in me for the day off tomorrow so I can rest and stop my legs from screaming, I have a full shift the day after which is on Tuesday. 12 hours and a half without sitting. I might lose my legs in a bit -__- So, today was tiring because since its weekend and Chinese New Year is just around the corner, it was pack, crowded. Oh I made friends with my colleague. There's Katrina or known as Ah Peng, the supervisor. Wie, closest I'm with there at CK and Will, an annoying but nice guy. So I've became closer to Wie as our shifts are always the same, everyday. And since Will and Katrina are always together, talking Mandarin :p

I had morning shift yesterday, 17th January. Since 18th is our 10th anniversary, Zhr came to Pyramid when I finished my work at 6.30pm. We went to watch Bedtime stories, which I think was really plain dull and boring. Kind of. But, Zhr's with me, so I didn't really care that much. Its been a while since I last seen him. I missed him so much! I made a huge card for Zhr and its red in colour ! With a pink heart shape in front. Lol ;p Oh and me myself, I got a ring from Diva. Zhr bought for me. And he chose it for me ! I love it. Thnk you sweetie (: We arrived back home at around 11 something. I had fun with him. It was really nice to see him again. Now its only a day passed and I'm missing him so much already ! :(

Im so sleepy. Gonna head to my bed now. Night, sleep well readers and bloggers

Working human

Its been days. I'm so busy with my job that I don't have the time to blog. Actually I can blog when I get back but you know how tired I would be after working, so I have no energy and intention to blog. Not today though. I feel like blogging today, so yeah.


Its been three days since I work for Calvin Klein Jeans at Pyramid. And I know all you readers must be eager to know how my work has been :) Work is heavy on the weekends. On the other hand, the whole 5 days of weekdays, I just have nothing to do. I mean, like, there are no customers. Okay, maybe there are a few people. So, my work so far had been folding shirts, t-shirts, jeans and under wears, sticking the price tags, arrange the new stocks in the store, getting the mannequins in and out of clothes, mopping and sweeping the floor and a lot more. So far, I enjoy working. Well, except for the screaming legs and feet I get everyday, that is. I've been standing for 8 hours everyday, and sometimes for 12 hours and a half. That explains so much.

This Sunday is 18th, my anniversary and I'm going to miss it, yet, again. I cant get an off day on weekends. Crap :(

After waiting for so long for Star Movies to play Titanic again, I finally watched it fully. I slept at 3am because of Titanic. And I am not embarrass to admit that I cried. I hate Leonardo DiCaprio but I love Jack Dawson ! He is just so sweet. Even though I was so freaking tired of work and my eyes are half closed, I forced my eyes to open wide. For the sake of Mr. Dawson last night, huh ? If I were Rose, I would never let go of Jack's hand. Before watching Titanic, Step Up ! was on. So being a fan of dancing since as long as I could remember, I watched.

I have alot in my mind to talk about but my eyes are not allowing me to. I need to go to bed like, right now. Maybe I will tell you what's on my mind when I have the time and energy to. So, later !

Officially

Yeah, I officially got the job when Calvin Klein's HR, Samantha called me at 10am in the morning and asked me whether I can start Sunday. After saying yes, she said I have to be there on Sunday at 9.30, sharp as nails as she is the one who's serious about punctuality. Well, as nervous as I was talking to Samantha, I'm also really excited to start working. Yes, it probably mean I can't spend that much time with Zhr any more since I only can have one off day. And that one day, I would have to settle up my driving courses. Shoot. I totally forgot about the driving lesson I have to attend! So, I have to figure out something here, obvie. I hope they don't clash, somehow. So anyway, I text-ed Mom and Zhr as soon as I got off the phone with Samantha to tell them the good news!! Well, I did a lot of chores today, sweating myself up like a pig.

I watched I do (but) I dont on Hallmark just now. Denise Richards was amazing. I've been a fan since watching her reality show, Its Complicated, she looks good even she gained some extra pounds. She still is pretty.

I think Im gonna take a nap. Im tired. Arriderverci ! (:

Employed

Employed ? Nahh not yet. So I guess I should start form Tuesday where Zhr and I went to Pyramid to hunt for jobs. I applied at several stores. Calvin Klein, La Senza, Esprit, Polo and several others. We thought we could stall some time to watch Four Christmases at the cinema. While I was in the cinema, CK called and told me I got it ! Well well, don't get too excited, my friend. Not the job, you silly. I got an interview with the HR Thursday. Which was today. It was nerve-wrecking ! They called and asked me to be there before 3pm. I arrived there at 2.30pm with Mom and my little brother for support. When I talked to the guy behind the counter that I was there for the interview, he said I'll have to wait for the HR to call me. I was really nervous that I was shivering literally. So anyway, we went around Pyramid, hunting for a birthday present for little Awisy who's turning 3 this 20th (: But we found nothing and finally CK called and said the HR was there. So I rushed there and I met the HR. A Chinese tall woman wearing purple, with purple eye shadow with a frown on her face. Okaaayy I was really scared that I was not only shivering but my knees went jell-o. She asked me to sit on the bench in front of CK and she started with her questions. She did smile a few times which was a relief. Guess what, the interview started off kind of awkward but eventually I relaxed a little and just be myself. It went pretty well. She said she's going to call me later on but its already 11 something and I haven't receive any calls from her. Ohhh well. She will probably call tomorrow ? Or maybe I screwed up. Sighh.

Went back and changed my clothes. Went straight to face my computer and watch OC. I watched OC Season 2 marathon on V Channel the other day and somehow I felt like its been ages since I last watch it. So the next thing I know I've been spending all day sitting in front of my computer watching OC from the early season till the last one on dvd for the 9781362930000 times. Yeah. I've never got sick of it. So anyway, I was watching OC for half an hour before I got tired and sleepy. I off the computer and went to the kitchen to wish my family good night and saw Nina was eating. And I couldn't resist. So I ate. I've been eating a lot nowadays. I don't know why. And for the record, I ate a lot when I went out with Zhr the other day. Nasi lemak sambal sotong for lunch. Sushi King at 7pm. Fried maggi, fried rice and cheese naan at midnight. Wow thats a lot. Like really. Sigh -___-

I dont miss school, not yet

Abang and I had to go send Nina off to school. The first day of school and I have never been so satisfied in my life. This feeling I have inside me when I stepped in that school, its indescribable. I love it ! Seeing all those little kids standing inside school wearing that pathetic white and blue uniforms. I was happy to leave but I feel somewhat, old ? Haha who cares ? As long as I dont have to wake up early in the morning, face the dramas at school and face the books. So anyway, I went to the bookshop to take the booklist for my sister. Then went to the canteen with Abang. Had a cup of strawberry dadih. Yes, I hate to admit, though I dont miss school, I sure miss the food there. Their fried rice is the best ! After eating, I went to meet up with my several favourite teachers to say hey and went to Nina's class. After settling some stuffs, Abang and I went to the primary school. Fetched my little brother and went back home. Window shopped online. Found nothing interesting. Wait, I did found something I reallllly want. Like I want it soooooo badly but its waayyy to pricey because its designer's. Marc Jacobs is seriously the most brilliant human being ever. His designs are all sooo, like, wow ! But why do they cost thousands ? Sighh. I found alot of things I want from Marc Jacobs but a bag realllllyyy caught my eyes. Its from Chloe. Ohmyy.

I asked mommy if I can go hunt for jobs and she said yes. She said why dont you just go tomorrow ? And I was like, yeahh why not ? So yeah, asked Zhr to come with me. Thought about getting any job at Parade but then mommy said she wants me to work at Pyramid. So yeahh, anywhere will do for me (:

I WANT THIS REALLY BAD ! GAHH
