Tiring month

Wow! Didn't knw that I can actually tahan this long.

Its close to the end of Nov and I m still quite alrite. Although tired n lacking in slp, otherwise, everything is still ok. Night duty really does screw up your body clock.

But somehow, once I know about the night duty things, everything else seems to fall in place quite easily. Although there will be some hic-up here n there, overall everything is still bearable.
Thought can have 3 days of rest day in a row but, alas, one of my colleague's family member, passed on and so, my off days have to be reshuffled. But still, I do get the off.

Only other thing which I have is to bear is the new guy whom we have here who is gona do perm night duty. Been training him since Sun and so far the results doesn't seem quite optimistic. Yes, he is senior in age and yes, senior aged ppl tend to learn things abit slower, but somehow, he seems to be too reliant on ppl to handle things. Also, he tend to be very forgetful of things once told to him. I almost blew my top on Tuesday night but I just calm myself down and repeat the instructions to him once more.

Tonight, so far, he seems quite ok. I purposely left him alone a few times to let him handle and overall, he IS COMPETANT! Well, at least, its still something which we need to see. But still, I do have my doubts in his capability in handling things.

Ok, dun wana write anymore cos i wana do my stuff. Check back soon!

Falling Sick... NABEI!

Oh my Fcuking God!

Looks like I am starting to fall sick again. All the night hours burned at work, doing redundant paperwork, catching NTU students making too much noise and also having my meal times turn up-side down.

Best news from my colleagues, the new guy is a softie. Tok softly and very gentle like. OMFG again! Already we are betting how long this new night duty guy will be wif us. 2mths is my bet and my colleague says 3mths. Either way, its gona be a losing battle for me as its super sucks as I am gona be at night duty again. Man! Thought can cut down on my ciggie intake but here? Fcuking hell! 1 pack last me only 2 nights! Holy Mother Fcuking Crap! This is worse than when I was at ST.

Then nevermind. Stupid thing is, new staff in NTU have to go for some fcuking stupid Safety Briefing at 0930hrs. NABEI CB!! I get off work at 0730hrs, have to wait 2 bloody fcuking hours, go attend that stupid briefing and by the time I reach home, its gonna be at least 12noon minimum. How to get enough rest man! Crappy set up! Most likely gona take the bloody cab back home. Super expensive man even without the stupid peak hour and ERP surcharge! Still a minimum of 16 bucks! Well, I am trying to save enough spare VIT M to get my beloved camera man! Been pending it for years now.

Anyway, have to get things prepared and done. Oh ya! SHIT! Got a new Asst Man-a-ger join us. Oh man! Really gona have a bitched up time with her around. Crap. Even now, can't even get my fav games, L4D2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as Vit M still lacking. Looks like need to fall back on my other plan soon!

NABEI CB MAN!!!

Start of a New Week - 3rd week of November

Morning to all.
Its a brand new start of a new week. Its gonna be one hell of a week for me as my body starts to get drained by the long nights at work. Never had I experience this type of working hours even from my SingTel days. Guess age is starting to catch up on my with all my partying.

Anyway, so far, things have been still like shit for moi. Sleeping when most ppl are working and working when most ppl are sleeping. No doubt I've been working for like 2 weeks on night duty liao but still.... FUCK man! Its like, my life is totally ruined.

Paper work seems to me like never ending. Have to prepare this, prepare that, check this, check that... AARGH!!! Wat the Fuck lah! Then as if paper work isn't killing me, students making noise outside the lobby have to go check and warn them and then if make some more noise, call the campus sercurity. Then later have to report this to management and all the stupid things... CCB lah!

Anyway, handling the check-in and check-out are kinda stressful too. Especially groups who are from PRC and IND, these ppl are the hardest to tahan. Want this lah, want that lah! Lan Jiao u understand.

Ah.. WTF lah. Dun stress myself le. Its monday liao. Later go home, knock myself out to slp. Maybe... hmm... maybe today before go back to work, go la sup first then work. Might have more energy. Hahaha!

To Start Fresh Once More

I think its time for me to start afresh again. 1 bloody year never update again. Its not like a chore but things aren't really been going well for me.

In this 1 year since my last update, alot has happened to me. 1st, I left my job in the travel agency business because of the bad economic crisis caused by Lehman. The company I was with, closed down and I was left there hanging. For 6 bloody fucking months, was not holding any perm jobs, but thanks to some small lucky stars I was left with, manage to do some freelance work.
Then as things were, got help from gahmen institution and managed to get a job in the retail sales line. Joined Epicentre as a 'Mac Evangelist' and was promoting Apple products. Never in my wildest dream that I will be converted over to supporting Mac! LONG LIVE STEVE JOBS! The job was really a wonderful one cos of all the beautiful people I got to know and work with. The down side is that there is a monthly target which I must hit and knowing myself, it was never going to be it.
Things took for a better when I was chatting with an old fren from Radio Academy and he said that his workplace in NTU, needs people and the pay is slightly better than what I was getting in Epi. Not wanting to let the chance to let slip, I left and join him.

So now, hear I am, after idling 6 mths at home and 2.5 mths selling Apple products, finally got a job which pays quite decent for my standard and also, getting the experience I need in Hotel sector.

Hope it will be a good one. Gambate!
