Hectic, Damn 凶, Madness.
But then ...... It is still FUN!
We open at 12pm. But people like to start queueing at 11am and later complain that they have been waiting for a long time. Dun understand why.
Anyway, I stood in for someone at Nee Soon Central CC on 14th. Was supposed to be my off day, but since money is knocking on ur doors, why not welcome it? :D Nee Soon Central CC was good. Air - conditioned room, fish tank with healthy swimming goldfish (my colleagues said they looked hungry cause most of them were staying still. But then again ... isn't it normal when fishes sleep? Hahas) We had nth much to do 'cept watch the fishes, debate over whether they are hungry of sleepy, think of what to have for dinner and stone.
Tues n Weds at Chong Pang was madness. LLOOONNG queue of people waiting at our booth way before we reach the CC. Being 2 mins late on tues kinda add on to me stress cum surprise. :s A nice welcome gift. :p
Damn Hiong. We were serving the folks none stop for 9 hrs st8 on tues. Wed was slightly better cause there was a couple of hours of light traffic.
But man, somebody ought to build some sound proof walls around the neighbouring trees. The birds start shouting at 7pm. They continue screaming for 1 hr ... till the sky becomes dark. We had to compete with the birds. Damn the birds... we rock man. But by the end of wed, I had a bad sore throat which later develped into a flu on thurs mrning.
Only worked for 2 hrs on thurs (no thanks to the birds and flu virus). Sheesh. :S. But Cheng Siew (one of our 2 supervisor) was sooo sweet. Not only did she bought me lemon barely drink, she even sent me home!!! Yeah!!!
Though the job's simple, I had gotten some satisfaction out of it. :D Most (I wld say ... 90%) of the aunties n uncles who came to the booth are nice people and are VERY ke4 ki3 (hokkien). They would thank you profusely for 10 times before leaving, and we have to say 'you're welcome' 10 times too. Hahahs.
But of course .... work could not have been sooo much fun without my dear colleagues:
First off, our leader, Hock 哥 a.k.a Uncle Hock. His hokkien is zai one lor. Damn pro ok. He can keng1 gai2 in hokkien with the aunties with no problem at all. He should be the one keeping cats cause he's Niao. :p He's in NTU.
Next up, we have .... Yi 弟. Man, he's one funny guy. He sure knows what he shld say n what not to say to Hock 哥. LOL. Oh yes, he will also acknowledge to the name 'Uncle Yi'. He's in NUS.
And finally.... is my 知音, Yvonne. OMG. She feeds the cats at her void deck!!! Man... nv knew anyone who really love cats too! We had a wonderful time this afternoon discussing abt cats, and poor uncle yi, being nice, had to listen to us talk. Hahas. Btw, Yvonne is sometimes known as Aunty too.
Alright aunty n uncles, kambate for one more week ne!Labels: Work and musings
