Juz got home not long.. the cab ride home was such a quickie.. 15 mins oni.. but 11+ bucks already.. it's been a tiring day afterall.. I went down for work at 4pm.(actually reached there around 3.45pm) Wisma Atria Top Man/Top Shop. Dyson was already there. i helped him do a few minor chores.. Steamed some suits/shirts which he wanted to hang up for display in the display window.. it's my first time trying to steam iron.. it's like using a vacuum cleaner to iron clothes!! i got by.. the clothing weren't too crumpled anyway..

After that, i asked him what i could help. he told me to "qu4 guang4 guang4". i was blur. or perhaps i wouldn't believe my ears.. he reassured me and told me to go window shop around in peace and he would find me if he needed me. he said the actual thing will start around 8pm.

with that, i was free.. it was mentally nerving.. i was at Takashimaya walking around when my mind pop up with this qn.. "did he mean stroll around in Topman so that when he needed me he would call me?" i was in 2 minds whether to go back or to just go slack around in peace.. i did neither.. the thought of going back there didn't appeal to me.. and the fear of missing a call from him bugged my conscience.

moreover, i was in no mood to shop. i didn't wanna overspend. i hv a wishlist to clear.. i need to tighten my belt. gotta budget some spare cash for the meal money and transport money(midnight cab fares after work to be reimbursed dunno when also..)

it was still only 1630h. 2000h is 3 and a half hours away loh.. i spent them walking a lot. sms ep. he say my job scope is to window shop. couldn't believe it.. both me n ep. when finally the clocks ticks 1950h, a topman shop asst announced for customers to make their final purchase before they close the store..

but it wasn't to be.. i watched more n more customers in the store. it seems singaporeans love to make last min buys. the shop manager then decided to change the closing time to 2100h. another hour of boredom.
Work finally started at 2050h. dyson told me to sort out the belt section. sorting by leather and non-leather and also sort by colors. it was a big mess.. i took me quite some time.. then i re-arranged the bags.. sorting by material.. canvas, leather, Dunlop brand, etc. Went on to arrange the wallets then caps/hats.

then come the task which took me almost the whole night.. putting size cubes on each and every hanger.. that is those small cubes which state 32 Regular, 34 Short or 30 Long for trousers, S, M or L for t-shirts and some shirts, 40(inch)or 44(inch) for Outer coats.. i had to arrange clothing according to size too.. meaning the smallest to the biggest from left to right or front to back..
midnight there was a break.. i walked over to 7-Eleven got myself a chocolate donut and a milo. took some pix(below) for fun.. enjoyed the break.. i needed that after seeing so many size cubes.. having to search the chuppa chups tin bucket for every size.. gosh.. it sure strains my eyes..
the jobs not realli completed. there're too many.. tomolo gotta go down there again.. hmmm... eyes see until blur liao.. urgh.. rabbit eyes liao.. tired.. Dyson told me to leave at around 0245h. told me go back there tomolo between 1200h to 1300h. he was pretty nice lah.. he changed my working timing ytd, which was "0830h - 1700h", to "0830h - 1800h". he told me he had no problem with me leaving early ytd.. but i must still write 0830h - 1800h coz that is the stated working hours.

well,.. i wouldn't complain if more money come rushing into my pocket, would i? he then wrote my start work hours for the day as 3pm when i actually reached around 4pm and basically idled till 9pm. ending hours is 0300h. power boh? i nv do any job end so late one.. heh.. took a cab home from the right side of orchard road. that is the extreme right lane.. haha.. first time take cab from the right side of a road also..

argh.. dreads to think of the miserly hours of sleep i'll be getting.. replied 2 emails requesting for my resume and portfolio seperately.. i cannot open mouth to change job one.. i'll feel like i've betrayed wingtai and left them short of manpower. but i've still sent out the resumes and portfolios. now i'll hv a hard time rejecting these new jobs.. esp when one of them might be a multimedia related job which i'll prolly jump into had i not already started working..

Currently(0525h) blogging and watching champions league soccer. man utd vs villarreal. haven bath even.. sianz.. ok, gotta go bath.. then sleep after watching the match. intend to wake around 1030h.. hmmm.. Ciaoz..
