A Month To Remember

This month has been filled with surprises! I finally quit the agency that posted me to MBS. Well, to me I have quited but to them I'm just someone who doesn't reply to their messages, but I couldn't care less. Found a new job with another agency that is definitely more friendly and more fun to work with! On Wednesday, I went for my first job assignment at Sugar and Spice at Labrador Park. It was one of the best places I've worked so far. The staff were very friendly though the manager is damn strict when it comes to service. I'm just glad that I didn't get scolded by him. Whew. I saw him scolding the kitchen prep guy and I felt kinda bad because it wasn't entirely his fault and I admire him for being able to suck it all up. If it was me, it would be a no brainer that I'd cry on the spot and the last thing I wanted was to cry on my first day there. Haha. Other than me spilling on a customer some fish sauce (thank god for her being extremely nice and forgiving me almost instantly, for a moment the thought of being scolded by the manager flashed through my mind and I did not anticipate myself surviving after that), I did pretty decent though it was my first time waitressing at a proper restaurant. I was quite surprised when the perm staff there didn't believe it was my first time waitressing for an F&B outlet. Haha. I take that as a good sign then? :D Well, the manager sad I did okay, so I should take his word for it and he wanted to hire me full time. It's not that I mind but travelling all the way there is kinda tiring. Anyway, he said he would ask the agency first so I leave it as it is.

Yesterday, I did my first volunteer work at J.P Morgan Marathon and it was damn fun! Well, at the beginning it was kinda awkward cause I met up with the girl whom I wasn't on good terms with recently, but I'm happy that we managed to patch things up yesterday! Haha. No more awkward turtles! We gathered at the F1 Pit Garage 6 and i was in awe of the pit. I was amazed by the layout inside though it was kinda empty. But being able to be inside to see the tyre marks and the layout of the pit is like every F1 fan dream come true. It'd be better if the teams and cars were in there but I'm satisfied. 2 years ago, I got the chance to step on the very ground the cars would be parked and saw the lot that Vettle took that year. Haha. This time it's in the pit itself! If it wasn't for the marathon I was running the last time, I would have stopped and ask my parents to take a photo of my standing on the no. 1 grid! Haha. Anyway, made a few friends with some guys from TP and they were a fun batch to hang out with. There were about 4 of them but we needed 3 ppl in a group so we asked them and one of them joined us. I would be lying if I said the start it was not awkward but the process as to how we started talking to each other was kinda funny.

We exchanged names.
*Awkward silence*
Asked to grab ice cream and we did! (MISS THE ICE CREAM FROM THOSE STANDS BY THE ROAD!)
*Awkward silence*
Finally we asked where he was studying and what course and we started bonding from there! We definitely worked well as a team!

Anyway, our role was basically to tag the runners' bags and store them in a truck and to pass it back to the runners at the finishing line. The epic part was the runners would be gathered at the area across the padang and so we were loaded into each truck and driven there. It was quite funny cause all of us sat at the back of the truck like illegal immigrants! Haha. Eventually, my group was assigned to a truck B and everything was set on a route to awesomeness and more fun. The cisco security guy assigned to our team to carry out the spot checks was damn friendly and fun though he looked scary at first. But soon the 4 of us were as close as anyone could be in a day. We laughed together, joked together and worked together. He was nice to help us with the marking of the runners tags and he was the only one out of the rest of the teams that actually helped and joked with us. Kinda sad that we won't be working together again but the friends I made yesterday won't be so easily forgotten. :)

Got my sights set on the next volunteer work at the Sundown Marathon! Hopefully my mum will let me go. :D

I shouldn't say stuff like I will post everyday at this rate cause it won't happen. -.-" So in a blink of a eye, a month has passed since my last post. Well almost. Another month has came and passed and it's down to 4 more months of holiday! Time is seriously passing way too fast. Anyway, a quick update on my life:

1. I finished all my applications for scholarships and uni. currently facing the dilemma of NTU or NUS. Heart is definitely leaning towards NTU. Haha.
2. Started working part time at MBS for the sake of money for my HK trip but it is damn tiring. I think this will be like the one and only period I'll ever work for MBS. Haha.
3. Collected my tickets for CN Blue concert!!! Can't believe it is just 2 more weeks!!! damn excited. hehe.
4. Saw my chem tutor at j8. I seriously couldn't believe my luck when that happened. x.x
5. I finally got my own ATM card!!! Plus a debit card and it's kinda sad to know that I spent $10 using it to make an online payment for a ticket to a bio career fair. This make me sound like a total loser with no life except on my future career. HAHA.

That about sums it up. My life in a month. Haha. Well, based on my last post about a month ago, it's good as saying that we are back to square one. A lot of incidents happened after that, I really said too soon or in this case typed too soon. I have no idea how to mend it back and I have really given up and if given a choice I rather things stay this way. But the problem is, fate seems to think otherwise as she has my hard drive which my brother wants back along with me volunteering with her to help out for some marathon. Seriously steph, what in the world were you thinking?!? I wasn't thinking.

Oh well, in times like these, got to go with the flow then.
