Missing you-

what a day bloggy..

Estimation of the time and events..

1045am ~ woke up..

11-1155 ~ ate mummy's fried rice while trying to watch something on the tv. surprise to see My Lucky Star showing again on scv~ but was nagged by mom to rush for work..

1220-100pm ~ reached the office to see that it was locked!
with a group of colleagues standing outside, one holding the door, and another two inside the office with a frustrated woman.
After awhile, the door was suddenly opened and they were like "faster come in!" and the guy quickly locked the door again..
Inside, the woman seem to be a bit over panicked, 'cos of stealing..
she begged, she threw sushi, she just seem to be the one who will runaway at any cost..
I was like imagining how it would be like if she attack me..
Coldstorage's checkout counter machines are changed at last..
and while waiting for azizah to be available to inform me of the new code and password, i went off to update myself with the new codes first.
My work is supposed to start cashiering at 1230 sharp, yet i havent even take my money at around 1pm.

100-300 ~ Was a bit not used to the new machine, as they are touch-screened, its easy for the machine to not detect the touch.
Bit blur blur and yet still work non-stop till break.

300-400 ~ Breaktime! As usual, went to the public toilet to wash hands, then to the office to punch card, then take out my lovely lunch, bring over to the tea room, heat it up and yum yum.. this time nothing from my phone.. no messages! so i just leave it and chat chat with colleagues. So allan was a retired auditor! haha..

4-630 ~ Customers were nice,getting the hang of the machine.. oh! one lady customer, got ONE Pokka jasmine green tea, scanned,
then she ask, "isnt it supposed to be $1.60?"
i look over at the screen, $1.65..
then i say yar, $1.65.. then she repeated the question again..
oooohhh kaayyy...... then shall i check for you?
"YAr! you go check, its $1.60!"
felt alittle ridiculous as I walk over to the drinks lane, check check.. then went back,
"sorry, $1.60 is for Heaven and Earth jasmine green tea, probably 'cos they are just beside each other so see wrongly.."
"so its not $1.60 lar?"
"1.65, still want it?"
"NO! not 1.60 i dont want.. U give me 1.60 lar, then i'll buy.."
i dont know whether should i laugh or cry!
"or you want to get the heaven and earth drink? blabla... its only 5 cents..."
"you discount for me 1.60 lar, then i buy okay?"
"=.="" i cant make the decision in pricing......=.=" "
really very 莫名其妙。。and she really didnt buy and walkaway ler..
no, she's not angry though.. but just maybe, sing gar poh yerns... lol..

After my customers are cleared, i went to return groceries, yep, including the green tea..
laugh out loud..
sometimes i dread going out of checkout counters area, 'cos its quite for sure that you will be stalled by a few customers asking lots of different questions! making it worse when you're busy to entertain them..
helped this guy find honey, helped that lady check the stocks and in the end she complain that since its only left with one, why cant you charge the product at the special price $1.90, 'cos there's supposedly to have a promo of buy 2 @ $3.8! blabla..

then! another guy ask for soy milk.. gosh, i thought what soil milk is that! =.=
ran to the office, find the vincent manager, then ran back again to tell him its at lane 3,
then he just naturally ask " can i ask you a question ? are you singaporean? "
then he started saying that he just moved here for about 1 mth,
and he wanted to know about the local food here..
FOOD! how am i suppose to be good at that?
He ask where can he find local food..
its like everywhere isnt it?
ohh, just realise i cant just blog about the whole conversation..
'cos its very very long..
'cos it became like chatting rather then normal customer-service crew thing.
ask me where to find nice stingray.. ~ no i dont really take that..
ask how about curry ~ no i dont take spicy food!
then about dimsum ~ yeah i like.. but just mention tpy.. bet he cant remember it too..
keep asking about famous good places.. really very challenging qns!
oh, he then ask about dont what crab, forgot,
but just anyhow recommend no signboard..
seeing me having such difficulties answering him..
he ask again where you often go? Orhard...
how about what's your favourite food?
ohh.. thats a tricky one again..
all i can say is im not particular about food.. thats why blabla..
then ask , how about this, its your birthday.. and you were with your friends or family,
and they ask you to decide on a place to eat, which place would you choose..
DOTS! keep keep making it tough for me..
counter him by.. its not important as in where to eat, but more importantly is who you eat with,
thats what matter to me..
then he went.. you're so sweet~
LOL! thank you..
after dont know how long then we at last stop talking about food,
and he said about he was in dubai earlier before coming singapore,
he's a canadian..
then so i just naturally ask about so what places do you recommend to go in dubai?
haha, then he also go.. ahh, thats a challenging one.. 'cos there's too many great places..
then he started recommending..
dont what desert, 7 star hotel.. ask me go what what dubai website where they show you all the nice places..
i know i know ive been out for way tooooo long, i was even expecting siok cheng to page for me..
oh we even talk about that im in poly, acc, attachment, 3rd yr, nxt yr apr, tis oct.. link it yourself bloggy as in what we have somehow talked about.. im getting lazy to write..
dont care anymore, just that we ended with the common, im robert, im xiaojun, nice to meet you, take care, hope you do well for your studies, hope you find your food.. blablabla.. and that i have to go back to work..

yeah, siok cheng ask about what happen?
"ohh, i was stalled by customers who keep asking keep asking.."
but dont think she know that the questions are totally in no relation to coldstorage.
=X

a very nice experience to be able to chat in that way ?
he passed me his namecard too.
so i just joked that probably i will go there for attachment..

around 15 or half an hr later,
i saw him queueing up my line.
bought several stuffs only, including flowers.
there i go again, a 1 second thought that the flowers are for me.
laughed at myself in my own thoughts.
he didnt say anything about the flowers,
so i pack it up too..
until the very last second, he say
those flowers are for you.
OMG, "you must be kidding!"
eh! its like really not expecting it !
yar, he say to thank me for my help.

the auntie after him was like so happy for me,
"so nice leh, he give you flowers! so nice! ... blablabla"
like its so not unexpected that i will be given flowers like that.

bit flustered by auntie reactions..

i think its my first time receiving flowers?
so shi bai right?
anyway, first time for me to experience the little generiosity of foreigners.
wow!

640-800 ~ went for 15mins break, 1 missed call from mummy..
called back to have my mouth dropped..
I heard noises like " choose the blue one ! " when mummy answered the phone
and she actually tell me they are buying a new car!
i was like, " hAR?" , what a joke!
She still laugh and say, "Yar lor, daddy no money still want to buy car, daddy want to support china-brand car, dont want the hyundai"
Seems like the new car will be ready by end of this month, of course, the old car will be gone as well..

what a super interesting day so far!
Went to the staff toilet after hanging up, feeling so amazing..
I think its gonna be a great great day!

[its four am already, and im still not done! probably 3/5 only.. edit again next tm bar.. nights!]

Well, let’s continue with the story, shall we?

700-1000 ~ Saturday sure is a busy day for business..
Customers are all very pleasant, somehow seem to realize today a few male customer also weird weird.. staring at me.. or still turn back to look after he left.. do my new work outfit look so wrong? Alright, treat it as a good thing..
One male Caucasian customer also suddenly tells me that my earrings look very nice, he like it very much. That’s nice, my dogs are loved by customers!
Machine is so convenient to me now, processing nets and credit cards sales are so effortless, don’t have to key in the sales price, don’t need worry about the any error and thus its so much faster~
time passes by quite quickly, soon its 10, don’t even have to keep checking my watch to countdown..

1000-1050 ~ We don’t bring our tray of money into the office from now onwards, count on the spot, but my register isn’t open!
Everyone else is busy starting to count their money.. Feeling bit lost, I keep asking how to open my tray, they didn’t really respond too.. somehow just utter a “use key lor..” then so I walkover to ask everyone who has the key, no one? Then another ask me go buy one sweet , so you will be able to open it.. That’s what she did.. Never mind, wait for Tonny to come out then.

As I went back to my counter, took out my stuffs and the float bags, i couldn’t find my hp, my heart skipped a few beats..
Don’t tell me its in the toilet..
Don’t feel good at all as I sprinted to the toilet.. eyes turned over to the boxes infront of the basin, there’s nothing on it.. ohh noo.. I don’t know what to do now, one colleague pass by and I ask whether he has an hp, and he just answer me “office” and went into his toilet. What a great answer.. Ran to the office, I grabbed my bag and rummage for any tiny bit of possibility.. no no no.. tried calling hp.. doo doo.. that’s such a great news, its off-ed. I asked siok cheng whether there’s cctv outside toilet, again, its another “encouraging” news. Told Tonny, he doesn’t care.. just say hp off, no use already.. what a manager..

Return to checkouts, ask Sandy they all.. no they at first say never go toilet, then later on say peggy went in before her.. oh peggy, just saw her but she looked odd..
Ask them like not much use too, mind blanked, walk back to my counter.. still have to count money.. the roll of stamps fell out of my hands and rolled 3 counters across.. then money also stuck behind the tray..

Halfway through it, Sandy called out to me, Peggy was at the gate, she looked at me oddly again.. Sandy was asking don’t I want to do anything..
I was looking quite blankly as Peggy left.. 10secs later then I just stop everything and ran out, Sandy saw me ran out and shout “quick quick! “
I called out to Peggy, she didn’t answer, and so I tapped her, she practically jumps up in total fright.
So I explain to her.. and she straightaway open her bag and ask me faster check, she is rushing for her car is waiting.. then keep saying stuffs like other people might not even let me check, but she let me, see she’s so nice then that she need to faster take her mrt.. So, I really check her bag, don’t like it but no choice.. Saw Sandy ran out and stop at a distance to see what happen.. Peggy even say till some people might say if nothing was found how? Give you a slap? Can? Then she even suggest want to go toilet and let me check.. zzz.. never mind never mind.. let her go and I went back..

siok cheng rushes, but I don’t care.. then she keyed in the amount on the POS for me. Soon, they are all gone.. ‘cos we can leave at 1030 sharp.. by then its about 1050 already.. I don’t even want to change my outfit and left.. walk halfway, I return to coldstorage again, hoping that I will see it in the toilet again.. then I moved to the area where peggy works and go through the boxes and drawers.. before I really take bus back home..

Reached home at 1140, saw daddy at the carpark, he went to pick me up and ask why my phone was off. he wouldn’t scold me for losing phone, I know. He just say have to terminate the phone.. blabla..

Mummy heard about it and ask me to go over “xiaojun lai..”
aww.. but just no mood so I went straight to bath..
After that, Daddy wants me to go to the police. But what difference would it make..
Mummy after hearing that I drop it in the toilet, ask me why I drop it, she’s quite loud in her speech, then agreed that we should go make a report as it’s a staff toilet, then so she got really quite loud, asking me to be quick and move!
I got abit upset, and raise my voice at her about that she don’t need to be so fierce and scold people.
Then yar, she got even madder, and really raise her voice even louder, saying im the one being fierce.
I responded that she didn’t even concern and blablabla.. I could feel tears forming in my eyes.. she scolded that I am the one being so angry all the while when she haven’t even scold me. I sort of shouted that im not angry at all! And its so dramatic that I really cry out LOUD.. its not me! I feel like a child that moment.. daddy defended me that “she’s not angry lar..” then later ask mom to go with us too, ‘cos she’s so loud, can scare and force the police to do something about the case and he imitates mom, mom laughs and I felt better. But its still so wrong of me to do something like that,so I just went and hide behind the door.. trying to stop the cries.. its hard, I still got the “打嗝” sound.. the hp thing isn’t that bad for me to breakdown yet, but just ‘cos of the fight I had with mom..
Mummy soon came behind the door, lift me up from the floor and hugged me, sayang me and said that she know that of course I wouldn’t be in good mood, its just a phone, and its not like it costs thousands of dollars, its okay der.. first time I cried out in that manner infront of them, first time mummy directly consoled me, she really never hug and pacify me before.. or maybe ‘cos I always got back in my room before I breakdown.. the lost of hp really is not that bad, but still im being so dramatic.. =S

Everything is fine and went back to normal in 5mins time, Im changed and took the tidbits over to mummy room asking whose is it.. then she ask me whether to go jb the next day.

Its really quite meaningless to go to the police, but nevermind, parents’ kind intention..
reached there, police also did nothing but just plainly write a report.. saying that coldstorage have around 20females, how are they going to investigate and there’s no cctv around there.. daddy not very happy but didn’t show it, but still continue suggest for the police to make a notice to let those who took it know.
But obviously the policeman doesn’t want and will not do it.. so that’s the end of the report..
On the way home, daddy continued with the previous topic.. and telling me not to be afraid of speaking.. blabla.. =.=

Reached home at about 140am.
Mummy came in sleepily passing me her phone..
eh? Its huiling! Wow.. she called ‘cos she cant get through my phone, and thinks that it doesn’t make sense that at this time my hp still isn’t on.. and just nice she saved my mom’s no. when I used her hp to call ber last time.. and xgg is lucky that he didn’t find me this night..

Back to today, Sunday.

woke up at 9 to go for a mother’s day lunch in jb with brother..
I made myself sad again this morning.. seeing my mom’s hp on my bed, I thought its mine..
then tried to feel for my hp in between the pillows and stuffs.. but it isn’t there..
really feel bit lost.. felt like someone dear left you suddenly.. not used to it!.. =S

And and and.. im getting real bored writing all this now.. can I just stop here.. bloggy must be dozing off listening to me too, right?
