Today, I am working Afternoon shift. I woke up a little late today but i still feel very energetic after that long sleep last night. Well, since there is still time, i sat down on the sofa to watch cartoons with my younger brother. My maid went to my cousin's house and then to the mini-marts downstairs to buy some food. After a few minutes after the show, i went to prepare to bathe. But i kept draging as i went back to watching T.V.
Later, I heard some dripping or splashing of water even in the kitchen. Hence, I went to check if there is any problem. I saw the floor was very wet. I went to get some towels to stop the water from flowing to the living room. I opened the cupboard below the sink and found that the pipe had disconnected. And tons and lots of water was flowing out of the pipe. I called my younger brother to come and take a look. He saw it and called my mother immediately. My mother then called our contractor to come to our house to fix the pipes. I tried to join the pipes but to no valid. Just then, Cindy(my maid) came home with Wendy(my cousin). They saw the situation and together, we tried to clean up the water that was constantly flowing out. Cindy called Eric (the contractor) to ask him how to close the water supply so that the water would stop flowing out. Finally, the water stopped. But the water had already spreaded to the living room. Hence, we off all the eletricity power point. This to prevent any of us being eletricuted. At around 12.30pm, the area was almost dried thanks to us using the towels and mop to suck up the water and discard them to the toilet. I went to my cousin's house to bathe and get ready for work.
After bathing, i went home to get my moblie phone and other things. Denise called me but i wasn't aware of who that was. At first, i was already irritated by my younger brother and tired after all the work in the morning and now, i could not hear what the caller was saying. I was quite angry and i shouted HELLO!!!. The caller then said I am Denise. -_____- I felt so sorry for her. It was like being scolded for nothing. However, I am not at the worst part yet. She told me that i should be at suntec to collect the cheque for myself and the others. She also said that Marvin tried to call me and he also msg me already.Well, check out my puzzled face ~.-??? I didn't see the message. I told Denise to go back to Bugis first because i wasn't sure if i can reach there on time or not. My uncle brought me to work after all this.
When i reached my work place, Marvin said I call you, you never answer. Other people call you, you answer. Then i explained to him that my house was flooded just now. Well, i guess he understand.
Today, i feel very down as in maybe i got the Monday Blues too. I dun know why, i feel very i am not sure. Sad and tired and dun really feel like talking. I thought if I think happy, I will be happy. ^.^ But still, i feel that something is just missing but i just cannot find what it is. Maybe it is a MONDAY. Well, i just dun know what the hell is happening here. ARGHHHHH........... Just go sleep now..
Sunday, May 30, 2004
Today, i woke up very late. I woke up at about 8.40am. I should have woken up at around 8am. See... i was so late. Well anyway, i bathed and quickly make my way to my work place via you know, bus and MRT. When i reached Topshop, i quickly change into my uniform. When i was changing, Marvin suddenly said,'Miss, you cannot change in the fitting room.' I was like going to be scared to siao. I thought he would like open the door. Of course he didn't. If he dare i already boxed his face.
So Marvin and I am morning shift today. We really hope that we can reach $2000 at 2pm. But anyway, we didn't. Instead, we reached $1500 when it was 2pm. One the customers 'ATTACKED' Marvin today. It happened when Marvin was doing the facing out of the sales items. A customer looking at the items farted and it was REAL SMELLY. Poor Marvin. He run to the storeroom a while later. I tried the linen dress today. It was the one under seaside. I reserved two of them, one for Wei Lun's friend and one for me. When I tried it, i show it to Marvin. Marvin said that i will have to wear a gwyn vest in it as the size 6 is a little too big at the strap part. As in it was too long. But anyway, it was very nice and i wanted to ask my mother if i can buy that. During work time, Marvin kept on jokking around. He also imitated Kylie and a chinese singer(the one who passed away coz of asthma attack. she sang Lu Bian De Hua Bu Yao Chai) i think is Theng Li Jun. Being together with him is really very enjoyable because he is very funny.
Finally, break time. Marvin, Marco, Denise and I went to the Jeffery Gathering Place(a coffeeshop) to have lunch. We were settling down at a table. Marvin took a chair from under the table and gave it to me. I just sat on it and guess what. I accidentally sat on his hand. I also most laugh out lond but i didn't. i didn't want the others to know. It was so embarrassing. But Marvin seems like haha.. hurt... his hand injured by my butt. Poor Marvin again. Today so poor thingy one. Denise and Marco ate rice. Marvina and I ate noodles. He ate you mian and i ate Ban mian. In the end, i didn't finish my food anyway. After eating, we went to like walk around. We went to Muji. At first Denise and I bought at small bag. It was selling at $3.90. After we buy it, Marvin also bought one. hahahaha... so means all of us have the same bag!!!! Nurlinda also have one too. So like togetherness!!!!
After eating and looking around, we got back to work. Later, Murni told me that a customer wanted to try the size 6. I told Murni to let her try and if she wants to buy it, she also can have it. Well, the customer really bought it. I felt a little sad and angry. I shouldn't let her buy it!!!! But i want more sales. So i think i have to sacrifice mine. Later, Elaine bought some earrings and Murni and i bought two camisoles. She bought the green one and i bought a yellow one. Well, today is another very happy day. Thanks to Marvin and Lee Sze. Their jokes can really make people laugh a lot.
After work, my auntie and Wendy came to fetch me to my third uncle's house to have dinner. Well, i think i ate quite little today. I ate 4 chicken wings, 1 satay, 4 small prawns and two sausages. hmmm.... thats all. Wei Siang showed me a very funny website. There many comics that were made by the author. They were made in a comedic way.
http://www.1dollarviagra.com/~beatrush/comics.htmAfter eating, we went to the playground.
When we arrived, we saw a bunny hoping around. But it caught our attention for a while only. We continued to play. Then we go home after that. Well, one reason i like my diary long. I really want to keep all my memories and not forget them.
Friday, May 28, 2004
Today, i woke up at 9.30am, lie in bed till 10am then watch cartoons till 12noon, bathe, eat maggie noodles, and set off to work. When i was at the MRT Station, at City Hall, i suddenly got a feeling that i will meet someone i know at the MRT station at Bugis. And i was thinking that the person might just be Marvin.
Well, i reached Bugis and went to the machine to top up my EZ-Link Card. I was thinking maybe i was wrong, i will not meet Marvin or anyone today here. Suddenly, i felt someone blow at my right ear. I turned left to look but i saw noone. I was thiniking, maybe people just walk too fast and hence resulted to the wind. I continued to top up my card. Then it happened again. I looked at my left side then to my right side. To my surprised, i saw Marvin. hahaha... see my intuition was so right. Well, we just laughed and go to our working place together. On the escalator, he talked to me about Jason. He said if Jason come, he will use the baygon(something to spray pest) to spray at him. We laughed. Marvin then asked me to help him buy Ice Milk Tea from Mos Burger. We went to Topshop first then i go to Mos Burger and he went to the staff entrance to help me and himself to punch the card.
When i was on my way back, I saw Edmund Chen. He was asking a promoter how to go to the money changer. Later we he was about to walk pass me, i told him to go straight and turn left then he will see the money changer. Actually, i think he was looking for a ATM because when he was there, he went to the ATM instead of the money changer. Well, he smiled at me when we talked. i think he was very friendly. And moreover, he actually look more handsome than on TV.
When i saw at the shop, i told Marvin and Murni and Marini that i saw him. Actually, they all saw him also except for Marini. Marini was quite disappointed. Later, i went to bank in the money for Topshop and Topman. On our way, i saw Tay Ping Hui and i also saw a actor(the guy in Man At Forty who acted a little bit slow.) Well, they are all very handsome and cute. Atfer banking in the money, we walked back and saw them on the bridge at Parco filming. But i wasn't aware of what show they were filming.
Later when i got back to Topshop, I told Marvin. He said so what. -____- should be jealous coz people so handsome. And anyway, we continued to work. After Marvin went for his break, Murni and I went for our break. During our Break i told her about the people i met just now. And we chatted as we eat. Shouldn't talk when we are eating right. hahahahaha.
After we finished eating, we went back to the storeroom and we began to pack the drawer and the stuff inside. We found some photos and some other objects. One of the interesting one was at pair of fake breast. Murni said that Rima or someone else bought it from Topman last time. We laughed and laughed when we saw that. Later Marvin came in and we also showed him that. He played with it. As in he put them into his clothes and u know the things he do at work. Later after playing, we continued to work. A lady was asking for the bikini on the model. I searched high and low but i still could not find it. I told the lady that we do not have it anymore but we have the black one. Hence, she picked a size and went to try it on. After trying, she found that it did not suit her. So she returned them to us. i hang one of them. As for the other one, Marvin took it and wore them together with the fake breast thingy. He showed it us and we laughed very hard. Later, he also showed it to Topman and Dorority Perkins staff too. Marvin also ji the thingy and showed me that it will turn red. -____-. So Bad.
Well, today's sales was not good. at the end of the day, we only did to 4600++. We did not hit the target for today. That means, we have to work extra hard tomorrow to hit the target.

Today, i decided to go and visit Lady. I woke up and prepared and set off to Pasir Ris. When i reached Pasir Ris, i went to the supermarket to buy the dog bone for Lady. Then i rushed to the interchange to take the bus to Ericsson. When i reached the farm, the caretaker was not there. Hence i cannot go in to see Lady. I called her and she told me that she was at Clementi. She was unable to open the door for me. So i felt very disappointed and i cried, and when i thought of Jessie, i felt even more sad and i cried even more. But i still waited for the caretaker. Well, i waited till 12.10pm. I just gave her a call and tell her that i left the bones for Lady at the door and went back to the bus stop. On the way to the bus stop, i continued crying. Coz i felt very.... bu gan xing. I really want to see my dog, Lady. The clouds gathered. And it started to drizzle a little.
I went back to bugis. Jason wanted to meet me and have lunch together. We met each other at 1pm. I reached early. I told Marvin and Elaine that he would be coming. Marvin told me hide in the store and when he come, Marvin would kick him away. :) Elaine said that she wanted to see him. When Jason reached, i introduced him to Elaine and Marvin. Elaine did respond but for Marvin, he was serving a customer so.... i told Jason that Marvin met him before. After that, he asked me whether there is any other people i want him to meet. I told him no because they are not here yet. I went for our lunch. We walked around And decided to eat Mos Burger. He ordered a cheese burger and i ordered a small ice lemon tea.
We sat down and chatted. From our quite long conversation, i found out quite a lot about him. First, i found out that he is a mixed. His father is a malaysia and his mother is a UK citizen. He have a elder brother and sister and a younger sister. At about 4 years old, he went to UK to stay with his mother because his father and mother divoced. As for his studies, he studied to like UK secondary. He started to work after his secondary school. He worked as a metal fabric something something maker. He said he worked for 5 years there but he felt very bored, hence, he wanted to come to Singapore for a change. But for pass few or 6 months, he was travelling around Asia. He told me that he went to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan... and some other places. He also said that he wants to study in Singapore, ina college, a course maybe IT coz he is quite interested in studying IT. He told me that whenever his sister and him comes to Bugis, they will go Topshop. His sister always buy thing form Topshop. He also said he will look at Topman thing but he didn't see anything he like but he saw me. -____-'''...
Now, not that i want to say something is weird about his travelling and stuff. Who is paying for him? For his travels, and stuff like staying in a HOTEL in Singapore. I was thinking maybe he have a silver spoon in his mouth already and maybe he is not depending on himself? I am not sure too. And one more thing. If he were to study till the age of 17, and worked for 5 years, then he is 26 years old now, 17+5=22 26-22=4 then the rest of the 4 years what were he doing? Anyway, i got back to work later.
I think all of my friends think i was crazy. Because they saw me smiling like crazy or something. Well i cannot deny that he really talk in a funny way that will open myself to talk a little more to him than the other people whom i just met and get to know them. BUT dun mistake that for LOVE. As for Love, i dun think that we can really work it out. Later, at the counter, Marvin called and i answered the phone. Marvin sounded a little like in a bad mood or like not very happy. He asked me what did the guy do to me or say to me or anything. I just told him the part where he said that his sister and him comes to Topshop quite often. Marvin repiled, ' But it is none of your business what.' I felt really, what to say... like he is not happy about me and Jason going out. I continued to say what Jason said to me. Marvin did laugh a little but not really anyway. He asked whether Murni and Marini were here already and i answered yes and he said bye~.
What can i say. Later at work, i was not really myself coz i was still smiling and stuff like that and talking like a crazy girl about what happened. Elaine, Murni and Marini teased me and stuff like that. I really cannot stop laughing if they were to continue that the whole day. I stopped after Marvin came back. Marvin then went for his break with Elaine and Sadric(VM guy). I was afraid that Marvin might be unhappy coz i heard his voice from the phone earlier, it was not that good. Then Marvin somemore said that i have new boyfriend. Murni also said that. I told Marini that they bully me. But Marini sided me for a while and consoled me that it was boy- friend. But she still say that i have new boyfriend later. Well, they went for their break. Murni and Marini and I were half working and half having brain dead and half playing. Later, Marini and Murni went for their break and i waited till 5.30pm.
When i was about to go for my break, Marvin asked me to help to change money for them. 5 dollars worth of 50 dollars. I felt thristy and when to the store to see if i have any more ice lemon tea left. To my surprise, the cup was empty. I asked Elaine if she drank it or what. She said she didn't and i asked her maybe Marvin did. After Marvin was free, i asked him,' Whose ice lemon tea was that in the store.' Marvin said it was his one. I told him that it was mine. Then we all laughed. I told him anyway it was not my money, so nvm. Then i went to change money for him. I went to breadtalk and bought a bread and two cake. Well during the break, i only eat the bread as for the cake, i didnt eat them. Finally, break over. I got back to work.
Marvin still like to tease me but not so much because they were all thinking of doing VM for the shop. When it was 6.30pm, Elaine went home. Marvin stayed behind because he wanted to finish doing the VM. Well, Marini , Murni, Marvin and I still played and teased and played with each other now and then. Marvin worked full today. He told me that for supervisor or higher, even if they work full also cannot claim. Even for the commission, i got $200, Marvin got less than us. I felt so unfair for him. He was hungry later so he went out to buy some food back to eat.
Time just files so quickly today. It was already 10pm when i felt that it was only 9pm. And here comes our regular customer. She didn't want to come in but she noticed that we had some new colour for our basic jersey and some other new stock. She bought a denim skirt the kate moss and lycra crew(new colours) and a new arrival top. She spent about $120 plus after discount and voucher. Marvin was changing the clothes for the models. I helped him to put the sensor tag back and hang them back.
Marvin also told me about the trend for summer seaside, African, poolside and rebel. For summer seaside it is basically seaside trend. African is the use of more earth colours and the more tribe kinda of clothes. They also have some clothes used for going swimming and stuff like that. It will be a little like kinda of wearing a bit little but plus the modifications, and femine touch, it will look better. Somehow the clothes will look a bit like African people wear ones butmodified ones. For poolside, Marvin explained that Poolside is clothes that can be used at the pool but is for those which are more classy coz only rich people can afford poolside parties. The colours are also a little bright. And for rebel, it will be taking over Eastside. Just that there would be some changes. Now, the rebel will be in duller colours and the more rock prints and patterns. Just when Marvin was about to ask me about twenties, i ran away to hang to clothes... hahahaha.
Later when we were ready to go, Marvin and gang, teased me about Jason and me. They continued to walk while i stopped to tie the garbage bag. Marvin came and accompanied me. He said that it was weird of me to even sms him and he also asked why i go and sms him. That was in a more serious tone. As i began to walk, he said in a jokking tone, Must be because love at first sight. I dun really know whether he was like against me contacting Jason or what. When we were at the Perfume Counters, Marvin said wait and he took a Blue Water perfume and spray himself. He told me that it was the imitation of Cool Water of another brand. We walked to the MRT Station and Marvin told us a joke.
The story was like that, the objects were on a 'Say The Funniest Joke Contest' The one who said a not funny joke will have to go through punishment. First was the washing machine. Everyone laughed at his joke but only the microwave said it was very cold. Second, the telephone said a joke. This time it was reall funny and everyone laughed but still, the microwave asid that it was very cold. The last contestant, the computer told the funniest joke. Again, everyone laughed except for the Microwave. So the three of them went for the punishment. The microwave got angry and stood up and shouted at the fridge,'STOP LAUGHING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN. iT IS VERY COLD.' haha... i know it is a bit lame. but it is still funny. Murni bf went to fetch her. Nurlinda, Marini, Hwee yi, Marvin and i went home together.
Monday, May 24, 2004
Today, i am working morning shift. Hmmm.... that was with Marini and Lee Sze, however, Lee Sze was at Wisma doing the model store so she was not with us. So me and Marini work together and by the time it was our break time, we made it to $1040++. I was quite surprise because today is a Monday and the people always have Monday blues and would not purchase anything... like got attitude. But today, the people were quite okie, as in the 'weather' is fine. So i expect sales to be quite good today.
Later, in the afternoon, Lee Sze, MarVin and Murni came back for Wisma the Model store thingy. All of them look very tired. As if they just slept for 2 hour last night. Well, they look very cute and funny.... hahahahahaha. You know how tired people look like, right? Marini and I went for our break together. We went to the coffee shop to eat. I ate Mian Fen Guo and she ate Mee Rebus. She said that the Mee Rebus tasted thin, as in the gravy was not thick enough. After eating, we went for a walk around Parco. We were On our way to Watson and when we were on the escalator, a woman farted very loudly. And guess what, i was behind her but it was about one arm away from her. Marini and I kept laughing. She ATTACKED me...... She was so..... irritating. Well, still we got over it. Hope i dun have her smell... -____-''We went back when the time was up.
Well we continued working... Marini claimed hours and hence she can go home early. Oh ya, i got to comment on Marvin's hairstyle today. Haha, it was just about like, he wore a cap.. or something else. He looked different, but it was still nice. But i think the real reason was because he did not have enough time to style his hair so he wore the cap. I helped Marvin with some of the VM, but that was like nothing lor. Marvin was like so tired so i asked him to go for his break. At that moment, he was putting the sensor tag on the jeans, he poked himself. He ACCUSED me of making him poke himself. -_____- Anyway, he still went for his break later.
Finally, time to go home. Lee Sze said that she want to show me something, it was a slipper she bought recently. Then i thought of bringing her the a counter that was selling LeeCooper brand shoes to try a pair of slippers. We tried the slippers and Lee Sze suggested to ask Marvin to come and take a look. So we went back. However, Marvin was busy at the moment. So we went to try them again.
As we were looking at the slippers, a guy confronted me. He looked kinda familiar. I think he came to Topshop before. He said something but i couldn't make out what was it but i still said yeah. Then he replied just jokking. I supposed he was saying some joke. Then i smiled and looked at the slippers trying to decide which colour to get. After a while, he asked for my number. I told him that i have no moblie phone. Then i continued to look at the slippers. Lee Sze went to ask Murni to come to look at the slippers. Hence, the guy got more chances to talk to me. He even asked me to have coffee with him when i have the time. Murni came and saw us talking and stuff. -___- Since i dun have any moblie phone, he suggested to give me his number. i accepted. He had a piece of paper in his hands and borrowed a pen from the LeeCooper promoter so that he can write his name and number. Lee Sze went to ask Marvin to come and Murni went back a while ago liao. Due to my own funny personality, (i dun really like to talk on the phone with someone i dun really know) I asked for his e mail add. He asked me if i have MSN. I told him yes. He borrowed the pen from the promoter again and wrote down his e mail add. Marvin came and saw him too.... so embarrassing!!! Well, he gave me the e mail add and we chatted a little longer and went back later. Oh, he also commented that he find me kinda cute. Well, he is cute too.
Lee Sze and I walked around Parco and when to get her bag and went back to Topshop. Marvin said even if he want people to stalk him also dun have. Murni then pointed to a Girl who was a guy before. Marvin reacted like yucks. hahaha.... Later, we just went home.
Saturday, May 22, 2004
Today, my shift should be afternoon one but i changed it with Murni to morning because we will be celebrating my younger brother's birthday today. Hence, Marvin and i will be on the same shift.
I woke up a little too late today. I bathe quickly and went out of my house. I ran to the bus stop just in case i would miss the bus. Well, i think i was quite in time because after about 3 or 4 mins, the bus came. I proceeded to the MRT right away. When i reached City Hall, i saw a girl walking pass with a Topshop bag. Then i noticed that she was holding onto a red bag that can be bought at 77th street. Then i quickly ran up to her and tapped her shoulders. It was Nurlinda. She told me that she brought some tapes from Wisma. Namely, Feburary 2004, best of 2003 tape A, tape B and one more that i cannot remember... haha.. sorry ppl. We got into the train and got off at Bugis. Very Qiao, we saw Marvin also. We called his name but i think he cannot hear us maybe because he was thinking about something. Anyway, we walked to our work place.
Next, we took the conserriess sales thingy to pass up to the cashier room and we also brought our pails along to refill the water. Marvin went to the cashier room while i went to the toliet to clean the towel and refill the water for cleaning purposes. Later, we met each other and went back together. I did some cleaning and stuff. While Marvin was at Topman helping Nurlinda change the posters. I start to use the magic clean to sweep away the dust. Then here comes the first customer. She picked 10 outfits and went to the fitting room to try them on. After trying, i assisted her. I took the new pieces for her. While i was serving her, a couple came and cut through and asked me about a blazer on the model. He asked me to get one for his girlfriend size. I told him that that was to last one. Then he told me that then it is okie. I was like ok lor... siao so stupid. Then i didn't care about him. I felt that the guy was like SICK IN THE MIND LOR... nothing nothing like not happy one. But the girl was not very bad. She smiled at me and her boyfriend made those bad remarks. After that, i did the cashiering for the first customer. She spend about $290++. I was so happy. The second was also not bad. She bought a pink kate moss and a white lycra crew. She was very sweet because, she offered me some cha kui tiw. haha... of coz.. i didn't accept it. I think if i did it would be kinda weird.
Well, the sale was $1400++ when Marvin, Nurlinda, Mooi Hong and I went for our break. The sales was so very good. We ate Mcdonalds then go back and do nothing lor. Then we went back to work when the time was up.
Back to Marvin's Jokes again. He said that he want to do somethin to those people who tried the clothes and do not want to buy them. And also for people who drop the knickers without helping to pick them up. Marvin said that we could walk up to them and Use the blaming plus blur expression and say ORH..... with our fingers pointing and waging at them. Can you imagine it... It is gotta be so funny if you see how he do it. Not many interesting things happen later.
Yeah... it was time to go home liao. the sales was already $4000+++ already!!!!!! The sales today was so good!!!! We were all very happy. Marvin said that we did 2000++ for murni and lee sze already. So they have to make to 6000 or even 7000 today. hahaha.
Marvin, Mooi Hong and I went to the MRT station together. Marvin was going to Orchard road, Mooi Hong was going back to Kovan(HOME) and i am also going home. Marvin said some jokes and stuff and we laugh and laugh. Then before Mooi Hong get down, Marvin accidentally like, the arm touched Mooi Hong chest, not the bust... okay. But it was very funny. If he touch the wrong place, he sure get slap by Mooi Hong. On the train he told me that he taught Elaine how to act like Ah Thai... haha.. it was funny. He went down at Orchard and i continued my journey back home.........
Tuesday, May 11, 2004
Today I am working afternoon shift. When i reached my working place, i went to the MTV counter straight away. I wanted to buy the necklace that all of us chose yesterday. However, my friend at the counter told me that actually all the stuff left in the counter are items that are not good, as in not hot buy. The nice ones were bought already. She suggested me to go to DeFimox as their things are more cheaper and nicer. Hence i went there but i think the items are not very nice too.
I proceeded to my working place after looking at those stuff. Then i told Murni to try to go to Perlini's Sliver to see whether there is anything nice for Beth. I also told Marvin and told Elanie too. But Marvin cannot cause he needs to go to a meeting at suntec later.
Murni went for her break and all of us stayed to tend the shop. Later, Marvin served a female chinese customer. She tried a red top and skirt. We have her size for the red skirt but not the red top. We checked suntec and they have both the top and skirt hence we suggested to bring it back for her. However, she wanted it to be before 5pm. Marvin told her that it would be impossible as the meeting does not end that early. He suggested her to go to suntec city and she accepted.
Marvin went to the meeting when Murni came back and Beth went for her break. During her break, she wrote some messages for all of us and she also wrote autograph for me in my autograph book. Beth came back from her break and Elaine went for her break. I tried to get close to Beth to hug her but a while later she said don't make her cry. haha... so i didn't keep doing it. Later Elaine came back then i went for my break.
After my break, i looked at the present that Murni bought for Beth from Perlini's Silver. Murni told us that we only need to pay $4. Later, Micell (wrong spelling) came i saw that she have a Winnie The Pooh soft toy. i told Murni that i will be going to Parco too to buy her a soft toy too. I went to Action City to buy a Eeyore a quite big one which cost only $19.90. Annie also gave Beth something. Later I came back and told Marvin that the toy cost only $19.90. I left it in the room and went back to work.
Later, Marvin, Elaine and Beth were taking photos in the room. they took a lot of photos. Later when it was my turn, Marvin went out to serve customers. Elaine helped us to take some photos. We took photos together and also together with the big Eeyore. Beth cried a bit. Later, when it got a little bit more busy, all of us went out to serve customers. Beth went home and we hugged again, even after we hugged in the room. She left after bidding good bye to all of us. She also gave us some cards she wrote during her break.
While we were all working, Marvin cracked some jokes, maybe to stop us from feeling sad. Elaine was in the mix of sad and angry. She was sad that Beth had to leave us. She was also Angry as Alizan came back to took his slippers. She felt that Alizan lied to her that he have no Girlfriend as in he bluffed her feelings.
Later at night, when we were closing the shift, we read what Beth wrote to us. She wrote on the envelope
To my little sister Lim Lishan.
Li Shan,
It's very hard for me to say goodbye to a special friend like you. You know I can't help myself not to cry while doing (my) this simple message for you coz your like a little sister to me. I'll be missing your big butt, your cute eyes especially when you're laughing to Marvin's Jokes. Anyway thank you for being part of my life. Take care of yourself and good luck to your study, stay as sweet and kind as you are.
Please try not to forget me. I'll be missing you. bye... bye
God bless you always! Beth
To my big sister Beth Lopez,
It is also hard for me to say goodbye to someone so close to me. I know when i think that you have to go back home, i will feel sad and cry. But always look thing on the bright side of life. You are not going home and have to be happy. You are also going to continue your next part of life. I'll be missing your warm hug and ur tummy too :)!! your long hair and your small waist and your cute expressions and the Eeyore we bought for you and all the words you taught me(ugly pungit, pretty magunda, no manners Bastors). I wish you happiness all your life. Thank you for being part of my life too and for bringing so much happiness in my life. Hope too take care of yourself and good luck to your study and also stay cute and sweet and kind as you are too. Also Dun Forget me. Someone Missing Your From A Far Away Island. God bless you too.
With Love, Lishan(Muack)

Please help me take care of my little sister, Lishan. Hope that....... (maybe) Take care of yourself. Don't forget me or else i will come and box your face. (Kidding) END... i think
I hope Beth can really find happiness in her life. I will be missing you too. Huggs and Kisses

Today i was working Morning shift with Marvin and Beth was full shift.
I reached work at 9.45am which was very early. And u know what!!! I was earlier than Marvin... MUhahahah!! After he settled some stuff, we went to the cashier room to give the slip for Topshop and Topman. On our way, Micell(I think i spell wrongly) join us. She passed to Marvin the slip and went to the toilet with me to fill our pail with water so that we can do our cleaning.
Beth finally came and helped me with the cleaning. after cleaning, the shop was opened to public as in we have to start work. Marvin went to the bank. Beth and i was not exactly working. We played with some earring and necklace. i tried on a necklace which is quite thick and i asked her how was it. Beth told me that it looked like a dog choker.-_________- When our tape was playing the HEY YA song, Beth danced to it. She danced quite nice but it was also funny.
Later, the delivery uncle came and gave us 4 cartons of stock. Hence Beth and i get on with the work. we counted the stock and started to open them and hang them. Marvin finally came back and helped us with the new stocks.
After the stocks were done, we continued to serve customers. Later, after our break, the security came for Elaine to go with them to the police station. It is because Elaine saw some People stealing some of our knickers. Hence she went with them to verify the person the policemen caught.
Shuhaida and some others came later at 4pm as they were looking for Elaine to go break with them. When she asked Marvin where was Elaine, Marvin told her that Elaine went to the police station because she stole money from the counter. He acted as if it was true and hence Shuhaida believed him. Later, she found out the truth when she called Elaine. Elaine came back and scolded him.
Back to work again. Irene called and told Marvin that we cannot do cashier work anymore. We were suspecting that the new staff, Marlini, is a sort of a spy. It was her who told Irene that we knew how to do cashier.
Later, i served a pair of couples, i went in to get a new piece for her and when i came out, i was laughing because Elaine said something funny. They kept looking at me and smiling even after i told them that there were no more new piece for the pink shorts. I wonder why though....
After work, i went to look for something that i can buy for Beth before she go back tml. i saw a heart necklace at the MTV counter. Later a askd Marvin to look at tit too. He also chose that particular one. Elaine also came to look at it. She also said that it was nice. So i decided to buy that necklace.
I went to Wisma to see my Isetan friends. I also went to Taka Fila shop to buy shoes. i met this very handsome and cute guy there. Actually i wanted the White shoes with pink stripes. But it was sold out everywhere. i tried the Brown shoes with gold stripes and found it quite nice. I also found out that the guy loves soccer and is a Nike Brand fan!! haha But anyway, back to the shoes. i think and think and think and finally decided to buy the shoes. Maybe because the guy was really handsome and cute and we can talk quite well and i also gave him quite a lot of trouble. i also told him that i work at Topshop Seiyu Bugis and wisma one. haha.. If he does come and visit me, i will give him discount. He is kinda cute. Oh ya, He is a good guy too, he said if i saw any shoes at World of sports at Cineleisure, he can try to ask them for discount for me.. HEEH... He is really a sweet guy.

Today is mother's day!!! But i still have to work. At least it was a morning shift.
In the morning, my mother, my younger brother,Cindy and me used the public transport,MRT , to go to Bugis because Wei Song need to go for his chinese tuition.
We reached there at 8.45am which is quite early. We left him there and went to the market to have our breakfast. We ordered a plate of fried noodles. a plate of fried bee hoon, a plate of yam cake, a plate of zhu chang fen and two bowl of peanut porrige. Please do not think that this is a lot because each of them cost 50 cents and hence the amount of food is not a lot.
After eating, i went to work but it is still very early. My mother and Cindy went to another market, KK market , to buy food for dinner.
During work, nohing special happen. I didn't go for my break and hence can go home early.
When i reached home, Cindy was already preparing dinner. I hiope she could do it even more quickly, because i was very hungry. We had chilli crab and some buns and lala for dinner. My mother brought some food from the temple. The dinner was very feng sheng and feng fu.. (heeh).
My elder brother and i gave mummy a pair of white 3 quarter pants and a white top. Due to the my brother's wrong estimation. Therefore, he have to bring them back to Zara to change size to a bigger one for the top. As for the Pants, the zip was already damaged hence he have to change for a new one.

I think i dun really feel good today.
A lady donated a pair of jeans, and decided to use the $20 voucher (that was redeemed from the donated jeans) from the new arrvial Ella jeans W30 L30. Meanwhile, Marvin was fixing the credit card printing machine. I know that he was fixing it but i was too careless, hence i forgot, and continued with the cashiering. The customer was paying by Visa. It was approved but the paper didnt come out as Marvin was still fixing the machine. Knowing that i did the wrong thing, Marvin got kinda angry and scolded me. 'Why you go and do it first', he said in an angry tone 2 times. Then i kept quiet and tried my best not to show that i am not happy or rather sad. I told the customer that she will have to wait for quite some time. the customer repiled and told me that she will go and buy some things first and come back later.
HE don't know that i was really angry about how he scolded me. But anyway, he is the supervisor what. So i continued to do me job, walk around and serve customers, trying not to go back to the counter and staying as far from him as possible.(STUPID PIG)!
Later, i was at to counter already cleaning the area. Lee Sze and Marvin said that the female staff that the mystery shopper mentioned was me! The msp actually prasied me for my good service. However, this only lifted my mood a little bit. But i know that this next part, they did it to make me happy. There was this new stock (a blue bikini that it quite nice). They(Lee Sze, Beth and Marvin) started to discuss what size i should be wearing. (-___-). And they stared laughing and laughing. i knew that i had to follow suit or else they will feel that there is a problem with me. Hence i played along and make that a bit angry face when they make fun of me and laugh a lot.
Later (again), i was doing some cashiering work. Marvin suddenly come and ask me if it was me who did the arrangement for the jeans table (in a zig zag pattern or checkered pattern). I gave a questioning look (like did i do anything wrong again?) and nodded and said yes. Unexpectedly, he said,'Good! It is very/quite nice.'and he also smiled. But due to the incident earlier i was still a little unhappy, i just smiled a little and continued my work. I was thinking that maybe he just trying to be like making people happy. I think i saw some disappointing look on his face. After the cashiering, i asked Beth if the arrangement of the jeans is nice or not. She answered that it is nice. But i still wonder if that was true or not. I got this feeling that everything is made up one.
At about 1430, i went for my break. After eating my sandwich i brought from home, i slept in the store. i woke up at about 1530, which is actually quite late. I woke up in a BLUR state. haha.. i think u guys should look at my blur and dizzy look, it was funny. Anyway, i woke up and seem to have forgotten about the incident and started to like can talk liao. Coz just now people want to talk to me and i like don't feel like replying. I think i can forget it. But i think the next day at work i will still try to go as far as possible from that Marvin.
However, i still feel that i should tell him that i am sorry about the printing thingy... but i am afraid that he might be angry again. So i think never mind
