First of all, big thanks to AK and Serene. Went to TTSH last Saturday morning together with Serene and my sureties, AK and Kevin, to sign the bond.. and it's back to school on 3 Jan 2005 till Dec 2006.

This 2 weeks, going to be a busy week for me. I am not going to teach Q from tomorrow till 12th Oct, cuz of the temp job with Robinsons. The store is having a warehouse sale fr the 6th to 10th at S'pore Expo, and I'll be one of their 60 employed cashiers. Long working hours fr 9.30am to 11pm.
The pay...? Ah.. jus work of fun.. so didn't really bother much. Anyway how much to expect.. should be standard pay for temps at departmental stores, mah... Well, it's only for the 1st 5 days only.. can tahan..lah. The following 2 days are pack up days, so work fr 8am to 6pm.

Currently, I'm stationed at Robinson's Centrepoint for 4 hours, training to operate the cashier. So far so good. Have not come across any nasty customers yet. I am expecting that the crowd at the Expo will be worst than in stores.. so good luck in clearing the queue! Don't make mistakes and be very carefull with figures and smile...!

Hariana got her maid already, 22yrs old. She don't look confident in taking care of her children and she has no initiative at all. I am worried for her sons, who will be left behind at home, when the maid has to leave the house to send Q to school. I hope the maid gets better each day and Hariana can have some peace at work and not putting on more stress on her. It's difficult to get a maid of your preference. Eventhough though she may be an experienced maid, the employer must not assume that the maid can handle the work and not to rely totally on what was written on the portfolio, mo matter how good they can describe on the maid... just put it this way... she's only 22. At 22, how much and how well can a 22yr old girl carry out housework plus to babysit? When I was 22yrs old, I don't even know how to cook, don't know how to handle kids .. basically, don't know a lot of things.

Just got a call from Hariana.. she tried calling home,the phone is ringing but no one picked up. She wanted Norleha, who is on MC tdy, to help see to her children's safety. But no shiok to get someone not well to do so.. , so I will have to go. No problem... ,I am actually thinking of her childrens' safety at this moment .. Have to go fast, come back fast cuz need to work later at 4.30pm.
