Tml will be the first day of work at Robinsons.
I will be working in the same company as Joanne but different place.
She's at Centrepoint while I'm at Raffles City.
Hahaha!!
But I think we can still go to work together if the timing fits?
So today I went to terminate my job at that restaurant.
They want me to give 2 weeks notice and according to the law, as a temp, I only need to give less than 24 hours of notice.
What's more is they don't wanna pay me my pay.
It's like wth, a big company don't wanna pay me?!
Less than 80 bucks is peanuts to them,
Y can't they just pay me?
Whatever it is,
It's over and I'm going to work somewhere else.
Hopefully first day of work tml will be ok.

Today I was supposed to go out in the afternoon but it got cancelled.
So I spent the whole afternoon at home watching VCDs.
The show's quite interesting.
But still short of a person.
If only every VCD that I watch,
You are by my side,
It would be just so amazing and enjoyable.
Tml I will be working from 11am-6pm.
I'm gonna go for another job training then I'll hop over once they confirm hire me.
Now the pay I'm getting is really little and the working hours so unstable.
I got so much free time and it ain't good.
The new job is offering $5.20 and I can choose when I want to work and for how long.
I'm gonna work from Mondays to Friday for 8 hours minimum each day.
Then Sat I will work from 11am-2pm.
Sun I don't think I will work cause I need to rest.
So hopefully I get through the training and get the job.
1 month has passed and many things have happened.
Many went their own ways.
It's the end of a phrase of our education but a new beginning for all of us.

Yesterday's work was quite fun.
I started off cutting beef and packing them.
After 30mins break,
I cut salmon.
After that,
I learned cooking skills,tempura.
It was fun.
I did it for like 1 hour and my chef in charge for the day,Kenny, wanted me to experiment it myself.
After doing it once or twice,
I got the skills.
He said it looks nice and I did it well.
Feels good to be praised.
I had to put my finger into a pot of hot oil to separate the sauce and I got my finger burnt.
It wasn't serious just that I could feel the heat and pain going through.
After that I learnt how to cook Unagi and Soba.
I learnt how to decorate the dishes.
Kenny asked me why I want to work in the kitchen.
I told him that I don't know how to cook so I want to learn.
At 7 plus,
There wasn't much orders and we thought that we could clear up early.
At 8 plus,
The orders came in faster than the water flowed from the tap.
We were in a mess.
The floor became so oily that I almost fell.
If I fell,
I would have been in a pot of oil.
Kenny got a shocked.
Hahaha!
But it was good experience as I learnt to be fast and careful at the same time.
After that at 9pm we started to clear up.
I washed the dishes while Kenny cleaned the equipment.
At 10pm,
Kenny and the head chef, Kelvin, started washing the floor.
I was supposed to help but they told me to go home.
They treat me really good.
Kelvin was afraid that I fell cause my shoes can make me fall and that I would get burnt by oil.
Kenny on the other hand was afraid that the hot food would be too hot for me to hold so he didn't want me to decorate those food that just came out from the oil.
Tml I will be working again.
I want to learn something new.
Maybe cooking U-don?
Missing you so much that I dream of you every night.I can hear you talking to me.I can see you and me living together forever.

I found a new job!
I was interviewing at Cafe Cartel that day.
Then halfway my phone rang.
It was a job offer from one of the restaurants in Suntec.
They wanna pay me $4.50 per hour and allowance will be given.
A possibility of a pay rise exist.
All I had to do is to be a kitchen staff.
It was easy job and easy money.
After that, I arranged for training yesterday.
It was real easy.
Just cut chicken and peel the carrots.
4 hours passed real quickly.
My speed was slow.
I'm gonna train on my speed.
Other than that they said I was fine.
So I'm already confirmed hired.
They will be calling me tml to tell me my schedule for the week.
In Feb or March,
I will be posted to Ang Mo Kio.
I don't really mind.
I'm working to pass time and to earn some pocket money.
I haven't been taking pocket money like for a few months.
On the way home from training,
Popular sms me to say that they wanna hire me.
It's like all the jobs suddenly start coming in.
But I think I'm not going for it cause the hours very long and inflexible.
And changing of working days with others would be tough.
Today I went to get my pay from my old office.
I think they cheated me.
They actually gave me only a day's pay when I worked for 2 days.
But I don't really care cause to me,
It wasn't really honest living.
After collecting,
Reb Jac Joanne and me went to have breakfast.
Joanne and me then towned then suntec then town again.
We met up with her friend, our friend and Meli at the end.
Quite a great day.
We ate non stop for a few hours at 2 diff locations.
We ate too much that dinner wasn't really needed.
I would do anything stupid just to make you laugh.When you do not smile, My world becomes a dark and gloomy place.

I quitted my job yesterday.
I felt so much freedom the moment I stepped out of that office.
I don't think I ever wanna do something similar to that ever again.
Now I'm looking for retail or restaurant jobs.
It has to be a stable job.
Today I was out to look for a new one.
Tomorrow I will be out in the afternoon to look for jobs as well.
I haven't asked around to see if anyone wants to come along.
Hopefully,
I get a job soon.
But I can't start working this week cause I don't have much voice.
Maybe I will get back my voice next week?
Let's get on the dance floor and dance till the morning comes.
