I was working for 3 days this week @ NUH with my face 3/4 covered.
Why? Because I had to wear the mask throughout the whole day.
It was boring as there weren't many customers so I went around looking at the things in the pharmacy for most of the time.
But it was nice to see family caring for one another while they walk pass me.
I'm an AMA.
Tomorrow will be one of the largest gathering I will have since I'm back.
It's going to be like CNY but instead its for the 7th month.
Ah Ma is going to cook up a feast as usual to welcome the 30++++++ people coming over to eat.
So AMA = Ah Ma Apprentice
I'm helping her to run errands like buying rock sugar and agar agar powder.
I also peeled turnips for her but she thinks that I'm too slow. But hey, I'm an apprentice. Haha
I'm going out again in search for ang-ku-kueh and hua-kueh.
Till then, I shall update after the event which will be held tml.

Tiring 2 days, Friday and Saturday.
Had 3 interviews within 2 days.
Friday's interview was at 0900hrs but i was there at 0845 hrs. So no complains I shall wait.
Waited till 0910hrs then the person called me and told me she will be up soon. Another 5mins.
Ask me to fill in the form, left me there for 30mins.
Take the form ask me to wait again.
In the end, i left the place at 1015hrs and rushed off to the next interview at 1030hrs. Luckily there were near each other so i cabbed down.
I spent like 1hr 15mins in the first interview and practically close to 1hr was the waiting time. Heh.
Results: Call me on Wednesday after interviewing other applicants.
Wasn't late for the next one, but i had to wait as there was someone else.
Did a test and then interview.
Results: A second interview on Monday.
Finally had chance to eat at my usual Korean result. Haha.
Ordered the same thing as usual, maybe next time I will change the dish.
Guess their side dishes are increasing. Previously was only 2, then 3, now 4. Haha
Saturday, another interview. And if you have read the papers, its Resorts World.
The early bird catches the worm. (not that i got the job la)
Supposedly, the papers stated interview from 0900 to 1700, i was there at 0830.
Say I kiasu also can la, but i knew that there will be alot of people k.
And when i was there, there were already ALOT of people k.
Had a one to one interview, the guy did talked alot to me la.
And when i left the place at 0930, the queue was damn long can. All the way until outside. Heh
Results: Call on Tuesday or Wednesday
The end results for 3 interviews, waking up at 6plus and walking around are blisters on my 2 small toes and tiredness. I slept from 12plus to 5plus, which means I'm just awake right now. Haha
Guess it will be a busy week next week.
Part time job, interview and waiting for calls. Heh.
5:30 PM
Watched 2 movies this week again.
G.I Joe and Up (3D).
I would definitely prefer G.I more due to the action in the movie.
The 3D effect of Up wasn't much to "wow" about and there wasn't anything fascinating I guess. Sticking to the 2D version of this show can save you some cash.
Anyway, I went down to help Veronica on Friday evening even though it was a last minute notification on Friday morning. Firstly, I have nothing on in the evening and I can meet Johnson after the event ends in the night to pass him his laptop.
The trip down to CCK wasn't as rush as before and I get to pick him up from the shuttle bus this time round. Haha. And on the journey back, I realised that he doesn't know I am a half left half right handed person. WAAAAAA.
Don't know meh, I use chopstick with my left hand but i write with my right hand. Haha.
Met up with the guys when I was back in Tampines and had a drink. Very long since i had beer and more than 1 bottle. Think my 酒量 has gone down. Haha.
House warming on Saturday to my uncle's house in Yew Tee. No car so Mum and I took a bus down then change to MRT, and it takes 1 hour. I shan't complain because it's also as long as going to CCK. Haha.
We, the cousins, dai-ti, bluff, black jack throughout the evening.
Plus the buffet had a good spread of sushi, lobster bisque, brownie, laska.........
I guess some people know that I am very picky with food. No chili no these no that.
But hey, I'm started to eat food that I don't usually eat.
Take fruits for example, I'm eating watermelon and honeydew.
Food items have a wider range I guess. Mee siam, chicken throat, 猪什, chicken feet.
Why start to eat all this food?
Because someone will say that I am troublesome. Heh.
Anyway, I know i am back for a while already, but there are still people I have not met or rather kept in contact.
I bet that person thinks that I have forgotten about her and she's waiting for me to contact her.
But hey, why you never contact me too???
7:52 PM
Finally had more things to do the past week.
Collected Johnson's laptop on Thursday and headed to town.
Met Ivan and Wesley for buffet dinner at Rendevous Hotel.
The spread was a combination of international and local cuisine.
Sushi, Sashimi, Salad, Seafood, Kimchi.
Prawn noodle, Laksa, Rojak, Roti Prata, Ngoh Hiang.
Not forgetting dessert. The chocolate cake is nice!! Haha.
Make a rush down to CCK after meeting the both of them.
I was just in time man. I didn't told Johnson I was meeting him after work.
Afterall its a SURPRISE!!!
Though it's just a train ride from CCK to Lavender, and on my own back to Tampines, I think its worth it. =)
Was working from Friday to Sunday at Hougang Mall's atrium from 1200 to 2000.
Throughout these 3 days, I spent like less than $7. Good ar.
And I earn my money by just sitting on the chair most of the time.
The 8 hours each day seems like forever. When I look at my watch i'm like 'what? so slow'. Even restricted myself to look at my watch because i feel that time will pass faster.
It's not that I don't want to work, there's nothing to do because there are so few people who patronise my area. I even picked up new things like measuring bone mass for people because we are under the same company. It's even more fun that the in-soles. Haha.
I think the company is wasting money man. It's obvious that they don't require my help but never mind, I still earn some basic pay, what more is that at least i have something to do.
Anyway, Johnson is having 2 days off this week again!!!
Ya!!!!! Haha.
6:38 PM
Cash is running low low low low low low low.
So I'm working this weekend, part time again.
Anyway, caught 2 movies today.
1 at 1020 and another at 1400.
Early movie time slot is good as the seats are rather empty. Suprisingly, the cinema at Suntec which we went in the morning was empty!!!
窃听风云 (Overheard) was good.
Rather exciting show that definitely surpassed the movie we watched last week, Public Enemies.
I do recommend people to watch 窃听风云. Haha.
We had buffet for lunch.
My first buffet in Singapore. It was only $11.60 (per person including a can of drink)!!!
Suntec's porridge buffet. Haha.
It was not bad with alot of 小菜 to choose from.
Most importantly, I'm full. Haha.
Hangover was next at Marina.
Ok la. But some characters in the movie are rather irritating.
Still, it was a funny movie la.
Oh ya, I was at the HP service center for Johnson's laptop last week.
I thought I would face a long queue of people like Acer (kept me waiting for like 3-4hrs, and the problem wasn't solved), but surprisngly there wasn't any queue at all.
They provide you with drinks like coffee, milo, bread for free.
Acer provides you with plain water.
They have nice big sofa seats.
Acer has normal single chairs.
They have a better environment, not so messy.
Acer is pack with people the two times I went down, thus it feels cramped up and messy.
The location was not that bad, accessible by bus at Queenstown.
Acer's location for me is further because its accessible by bus at Jurong East.
Most importantly, as mentioned all above, TIME!!
I hate to wait. I was at HP in total less than 30 mins.
I remembered the last time I was there at Acer, I waited for practically the half a day. Waiting for my queue turn, waiting to fix the problem, waiting to collect. Heh.
Anyway, I will be heading down to HP again to collect the laptop. Hopefully, it will be the same situation as less week. =)
