My first day of work today!!

The 7am to 1pm shift is so tiring... I'm a night person and i just cant sleep early.. so waking up at 5am in the morning is such a torture to me.. Wah lau.. the sky is completely dark when i leave house at 5.45am... so cold and scary.. eeekss.. And i have to take 3 buses before i reach the Budget Terminal.. One bus that goes to Parkway so that i can change to bus 36 that brings me to Terminal 2 then change to shuttle bus that brings me to the Budget Terminal.. That takes me like one whole hour.. oh man... more than the time i take to get to school!! I slept throughout the whole journey la.. in between bus rides when i change bus i was sleepwalking.. yar im serious.. i should be glad i got onto the correct bus..

Okie la.. enough of the sian part.. Work there was fun actually.. All the aunties there very friendly de (i was the youngest there.)... taught me a lot of things and guided me in my work.. The first thing i learnt was to manage the cake counter which sells pies, puffs, tarts and of course cakes... super yummy stuffs.. I learnt how to differentiate all the different types and their names and flavours and the fillings if applicable.. then i learn how to key in their prices into the cash register and how to collect money etc... Fun leh.. so fun to keep getting money into my hands (though its not into my pocket).. hahaa.. And i met a super handsome ang mo pilot who came to buy a chicken pie.. i made a mistake in keying in but he just kept smiling at me while waiting for me.. oooo... so cute!! Hahaha.. In fact not just pilots.. many of the male staffs that works in the airport are quite good-looking lor.. hehe.. a feast for my eyes.. (but it doesnt distract me from counting money correctly ok.) Anyway.. although my eyes gets a feast, my stomach doesnt... no time to eat breakfast!! But heng.. the auntie who is in charge of the cake counter very nice de.. she kope coffee and bread from the the kitchen and give me.. hahaha.. no lah.. not kope la.. can take de.. just take i didnt know.. hehe.. So at least i had some breakfast.. but hor.. facing all these cakes all morning really makes my mouth water... I had to cut up the cakes into pieces then pack them into the small plastic containers.. got chocolate truffle cake, tiramisu cake, American cheesecake, yam cake, pandan cake, Black Forest cake, strawberry cake, mango cake... haha.. no la i never cut so many cakes... i was just trying to memorise all the cakes there are.. haha..

When its nearing lunch hours.. i would move over to the main counter there.. that sells all the main dishes and drinks.. Managing the cash register there is tough man! Han's sells like EVERYTHING la... Got Western food.. got local food.. then so many types.. Just spagetti got like 10 types.. then got breakfast sets.. lunch sets... so many kinds of sandwiches.. so many kinds of burgers, omelletes, noodles and blah blah blah.. and not forget the variety of drinks.. and so many kinds of desserts... I've got to find the right key to click in order to cash in the correct price.. and with the customer waiting right in front of me.. its soooo stress la... And customers like to have weird methods of paying... 1. give me plenty of coins, 2. give me super big notes, 3. give me foreign currency, 4. give me vouchers, 5. present staff card and ask for discount..... Aiyah, basically its anything but giving me the exact amount!! Wah lau.. this is a challenge to my mathematical skills.. haha.. but i can cope k.. as long the customers dun keep changing their mind about wad to order.. (thats the most mafan de.)

Damn tired la... never wake up at 5am and leave house before 6am in my life... challenging xia.. But i can do it!!!! YESH!! Its the pay not very motivating lah... if abit more then maybe i can be more enthusiastic.. haha.. =P
