Friday...

Back in office today... This week not as bad as last week where my legs so suan... So bored doing the same thing... Kenneth's job really not fun... Lunch, i went with elsa, sifu, francis, may and christina... Lucky, i went to keep Elisa company or else i think she also bored... cos they are all in pairs... Elsa's conclusion was to have lunch with Priscillia the next time...

Chatted with Priscillia and new temp sebastian after lunch cos he is waiting for li yoke to return... Until we receive a call from Francis that we stop... Priscillia was so pissed cos although we were talking we never stop doing our job... Until 5 plus sifu say i can go home liao... Cos he got to teach Elsa and i got nothing much to do liao...

While, i was on the way to Thomson Plaza mummy called and we met up at Orchard... Went to walk a bit before returning home... Waited for the bus for more then 20 mins... Our dear Neenee got quite decent marks for her PSLE...

Suntec Flagship...

This morning, i am late again reach suntec at 9 am... On the way, i saw fann wong shooting at suntec... I don't know why they split the count into very little one location 2 or 3 items... I see the scanners until scare... 9 plus Elsa came without Sifu... She says he coming later then i told her he won't come so early... Later, he came with starbucks and never even call and ask if i want...

I made a few mistakes with the scanners... I don't know why got one i exported then i can't find the file got a few that i forgot to purge then all scanned is lost... Then he ask me how come i forgot... Then i told him they keep scanning 1 or 2 items then give me... See so many scanners how i know... I told him if u keep saying later i cry very hard to hong...

At lunch, i went to Mache with Xinyi... After that i came back and cannot find anyone so i went to puzzle world and see then when i going down i saw elsa and told her that noone in... She say got he is there but i say i never see anyone... Found them this time when we went back... After lunch, there was a time where 3 of us got nothing much to do... Then i am quiet... Elia ask why u so quiet... I say later ur find me very noisy... But i say that today, i not my usual self not only i make mistake and become more of a trouble then help like a deflated balloon... :(

Sifu decided to be playful and say want to cut my hair with the scissors he found or pulling up my jacket hood and i told him that i don't like to be like zhou jie lun... He say one of the guy says that his sister got into the school idol and i can hardly imagine how his sister look like... We finish at 5.30pm and went back to office... I asked if u know why i say sorry yesterday... Then he ask me to tell him and shake my chair from the back which i found quite su fu (comfortable)... haha ...

Novena Square...

This morning i was caught in a jam so i reach at 9 am... Went to lunch with Elsa cos Sifu says that its gonna take quite a while for stock take to finish so we better go for lunch... After lunch, we came back we told him that we forgot to ask adeline the auditor to go lunch... Then he ask why we never ask her along and we say u ask us to go for lunch only... So i told him give him chance to go lunch with pretty auditor but he ended up forgetting about her and went for lunch himself... So we went and tell the adeline to go for lunch cos its not gonna to finish soon...

As expected, i told him that downstairs got his fave spinelli and he went to get himself a drink and he still say if it wasn't me that told him there was a shop here he won't spend the money... I also had starbucks... At 3 or 4 plus Francis came with Sharon and May, then they took Sifu to meeting while leaving me and elsa doing stocktake... Finally, almost done then i called sifu but we never manage to telly the pre count and actual scanned for 2 locations... No matter how they count also not right... Then he say who found the discrepencies then i say me... Finally, when we all done it was 8 plus liao...

Today, i keep cutting into what he says... So i ended up going back the time sms him sorry...

Enjoying stocktaking

I think not only Amy who i got to know while stocktaking who likes to stocktake...I also like to go... Cos i get to meet other people... I met her 4 times stock taking... She is a scanner... She says that she is on attachment...She say she rather opt to go stocktaking then do customer service... Even if its 9000 pieces of stock that's gonna take about 16 hrs to stocktake she also willing to go... Cos 5000 over pieces we took 8 hrs...

I think maybe tomorrow i no need to go... But i ask my sifu if i need to go then he say he will tell me later but he never say so i ask him before i leave and he say ok lor u go lor not like usually he will say that he need me to go stock taking... Maybe cos i mention that it is near my place that i don't mind going so he let me go bah... Auditors are also going with us...

Today stock take took very fast... 12.30 finish liao... Was planning to meet Xinyi but she bail out cos its raining... After lunch, i taught Elsa how to do the posting of the debit and credit note... Cos i started at 8.30 am so i get to go at 5.30 pm... I told him because you ask me to come stocktake so early my mum wake me up at 6.55 am and he dare laugh at me... When i was going sifu ask me to wait and he went to chit chat... Finally, he told me to go there at 8.30 am so i can start first... Don't know how long its gonna take tml... I manage to telly all the stocks again today...

Monday...

Elsa the new perm came in... She got orientation then after that got nothing to do so she see what i am doing cos she says that she gonna do what i am doing later... After lunch, Sifu finally appears again as he went to the warehouse... He is finally back, he can coach her on other things like stock taking cos tomorrow got stocktake...

He told me to go at 8 am he must be out of his mind... How to get up so early... So he say 8.30 am... I think i am pretty dumb cos i don't know where the shops are... 1st time Raffles Link then it was taka then centrepoint lucky i saw them (him & kim) entering centrepoint and hurry catch up with them, then was ngee ann city i followed him to the shop when he helped me bring the luggage to the shop the day before stocktake...

But i guess he also a bit out dated at Bugis he told me starbucks is still the previous spinnelli (not sure if its spelled right)... But maybe is he like that brand of coffee so he remembers that there is a shop there... Sometimes, he never notice last week we went to centrepoint to stocktake and walk pass coffee bean which is under renovations and he still say he gonna go there and get coffee bean...

Sunday...

Finally, my legs are well... Went for driving lesson... My dad say finally now i can park into the lots at least better then last time cannot even park... He says that like that at least if i want to convert my license and i have to test then i can still park...

After that it started to rain... Mummy wants to go shopping for new bedsheets... We went to john little at somerset but cannot find any suitable so off we head to OG and there we bought 2 sets of new tweety bird bedsheet with quilt cover for me and my bro very cheap $25 each on sale... And she bought herself a different set... My first tweety bird bedsheet with quilt cover cost $100 over dollars... which is still my bedsheet now after a year... After that, we went to cuppage for so snacks... Finally, last stop was john little again cos mummy wanted to buy a rug earlier but i said to buy the bedsheet before returning to buy the rug so no need to carry here and there...

I don't know whether i need to change place tomorrow i hope no need... Last day will be 2nd Decemember... I also hope it doesn't comes...

House Cleaning...

Spend few hours cleaning the house... Why? Cos mummy's friend told her that she did her house cleaning few weeks ago so now she also want to copy her friend and do house cleaning and because our MR Ng (my bro) never do his job of cleaning the floor for 2 weeks... It used to be done by me until i went overseas... Firstly, my mum and bro split the job one sweep and other clean but eventually my bro took over the job so he gets money to spend every week... Now that i am back, he thinks he can rely on me to do all the housework but i am not doing it cos i am not gonna let him get the money and poor me do the job... The rest of the day is spend being a Marco look a like... Marco is my dog who laze around the house the whole day... Cos my legs are still a bit suan from the day wearing heels to stocktake...

Friday...

Today, went by as a breeze finally in office... My legs are still a bit suan... Actually, i like to go Stock Take cos i get to meet different people and it builds teamwork among colleagues... U also gets to know more about each other like their strength and weakness...

That Sifu gave me 2 scares early in the morning... His face black like charcoal... So i ask if he not happy today then he say cos he got a lot of things to do but after a while his mood seems to get ok... I thought it might be we lost a stick that came with the scanners so he a bit angry... Also not my fault, i tried my best to find liao also cannot find... He say never mind can buy another one... He seems to have fun scaring me... He never give notice and adjusted my chair lower giving me such a scare...

After that he told me, i was to do what Kenneth the previous temp was doing since Elisa is coming in Monday and she's gonna do what i am doing now... I cannot remember what Kenneth do cos i only did it once and it was almost half a month ago... Where can remember? So scare he scold me cos his face black so i take a paper to cover my face and say i cannot remember... Lucky, he never say anything and taught me again...

I am wondering if we know each other only in the hrs at work... Maybe its me that send the wrong message cos usually lunch i will accompany Priscillia or go for lunch with my friends or mummy who works opposite...

Stock Take at Ngee Ann City

Woke up with my legs very suan... Reach there and found Karen and priscillia setting up the stuff... I so ke lian i have to do the controlling myself today... Cos sifu got training... Its like i am the perm and priscillia is the temp... Her face so black that i also feel not nice to ask her do things and so i only let her do the scanners and poor me have to stand there and control and do everything with my poor pain legs...

I have to do the comps and telly the amt scanned with the amount i printed, get the staff find the missing amount of stocks when the counted and actually scanned numbers are different... Get them to check the errors that appear... Correct their errors... Luckily, the staffs quite willing to help me find the codes for error...

Luckily yesterday, i manage to get sifu to bring the luggage to Ngee Ann city so we no need to carry it... Or i think Priscillia's face will be more black... Today, Priscillia say she thought that we got people to courier it to the shop but i told her he brought it there for us... I told her cos i keep asking if can bring it there... Then he finally say ok... Priscillia say he most probably feels that i so thin also hard to carry...

That sifu never pick up his phone again whenever we need him then he call back clever me already solve the problem... First, we got a problem that i accidentally post a file that have error cos he never pick up the phone i tried to do a qty count to see if the file is uploaded but luckily its not so i upload again... Do till 2 plus, we break for lunch and finish at 4.30 pm...

I called Sifu and ask him if he is gonna wait for us cos today D & D office can go off at 4 pm... He waited for us cos we finishing liao...

Stock Take at Centrepoint...

So happy to see Sifu reach with Kim... Finally, he come and save me... I tell him hai wo so worried ask me to go with Kim only... Kim greenhorn never go before don't know how to do the scanners... Then i not very good with the scanners... Told him that Priscillia not very happy to come to do stock take cos not her job and her things cannot finish... Kim was better then expected although a bit slow at the start she is pretty willing to learn...

I ask him if can bring the printer and leave it at Ngee Ann cos its very heavy and we doing there tomorrow... He himself also say heavy and he wants us 2 girls to carry it... Haha anyway in the end he bring to Ngee Ann... We walk from centrepoint to there while kim return to office with the laptop... She ask if we want to take train with her but i say up to him cos he is the one carrying the suitcase...Cos i don't know where the shop is so i decided to follow him there...

Shop was shocking doing stocktake tomorrow and they still got transfer in... So many boxes around that i tell him i tomorrow MC u come urself... Gonna off my phone and hang up the house phone... He say drag also drag me go... Then i say tml i not coming into office before going, he thought that i really meant that i not going...Then i tell him u come and drive me then i will come...

Today stocktake so long he expected 2 pm finish but never finish till 4.30 pm... My neck and legs gonna break liao... I went for interview at 12.30 pm then return at 1.30 pm... At 2 plus bah while waiting we decided to do a total qty count... Then to our horror it doesn't telly... During waiting time, we so bored that we start smelling the perfumes then we like 2 dogs keep trying to smell the smell... Then we took a ball and play... Then it hit the roof by him... While Kim went for lunch...

On the way back, i said if i have gone with kim then 2 also don't know then die liao... Although, Priscillia is not confident a bit blur she can depend on me and she knows what's she is doing... He say that i actually quite brave... Then i didn't understand what he means then he say like he ask me to do this step that step i will follow instructions instead of not sure whether can do or not...Then i went u mean i very ting hua (listen to u)... I tell him cos anything i can depend on u... Then next week also got stocktake then he say we have to do again... Then i ask him we means u and me huh? Then he say yes plus the new perm...

The job of stocktaking is suppose to be done by Karen, him and the new perm... He says that he actually no need to do the job of scanners or system... He only need to go there and see but cos not enough manpower then the new perm haven come and the auditors are coming that's why everyone is pulled into doing it... Suppose stocktake should be done by 3 people cos one need to do the comp, scanners and check to telly the stocks around...

Today...

Yesterday, evening Francis my finance manager who looks like a malay but is actually half chinese as his dad is chinese and he actually took malay as 2nd language instead of chinese but he says that he is bad in malay... He ask me if the posting of debit and credit note which is my job is up to date... He says that its best to be only 2 days late... But i just receive the go ahead sign from Karen the day before at 11 am... Then sifu taught me to print the last month's invoices to keep which takes time... Then we had stocktake training which took more time then expected... we started at 2 plus then we ended at 5 plus... Then thursday we went stocktake... Where got the time to do??

Today, sifu say to do all the posting by today then i calculated the timing and told him that i can get it done by lunch... Which i delivered... Althought the dead line is 5.30 today...

Stocktaking... Tired...

Today, I went to City Link adidas to do stock take with Sifu and Priscillia… We started at 9 plus and end at 2 plus… Firstly, Sifu did the saving into the pos system while I and Priscillia did the saving for the scanners… Then after that he asked me to do the saving as next week I and Priscillia might have to do stocktaking ourselves… Finally, after many hours it was done… So tired neck gonna break liao… Playful us say next week we gonna take MC and not come hahaha… Had some fun fooling around waiting for the scanners to scan the stocks…

At 5.30 pm, Sifu ask if I saw 2 files one done at the start and another at the end… I have no idea… But no matter what cannot find the file… Also don’t know who make the mistake, Priscillia got save but our system don’t have… Sifu say have to go back and scan again since cannot find… Then have to reload the system and post everything again as the stocks don’t telly… We ask if can do it tomorrow and he say no and he also want to go home… At 6 pm, he went back to the shop and at 6.15, i also left office. Kept thinking if its my fault cos Priscillia got sign the sheet so she must have save it to beable to see the total quantity. But then where is the file?? Did I and Sifu miss it out and never save?? Did she forget to pass it to us to save?? Don’t know who make mistake…

Feeling guilty that for a mistake that 3 of us make only he have to go and correct and since it was along the way home I drop at city hall but the time I drop at city hall it was 6.40 pm cos I took the wrong train and end up at outram… Thinking that he might have left I thought to go back but then I decided to call his handphone and he never pick up… So I ran to the shop and found him in the store room doing the scanning himself… So I offer to help… I told him that actually I thought to ask him if I can repost the rest while he go and scan the 2 files we miss but he never say so I never say then he told me that to clear the files it takes about an hr… So after scanning finish, he return to office while I came back home…

Having fun...

I remember it was only monday and suddenly today got amazing race wednesday and i miss the first 1/2 hr but luckily it is showing for 2 hrs today... Cos its closing for october, i cannot post the next month's debit and credit note... And i had finish all the transfer forms from last month and this month's so far available i ended up with nothing to do this morning... Before lunch, i finally got things to do cos Karen finally gave the go ahead sign to post this month's debit and credit note... My sifu also finally got sometime for me too after ignoring me for 2 days cos he is too busy to babysit me : ( He still dare to ask me u very bored huh yesterday at around 5 pm when i cleared all there is to clear...

Today, we got training for stocktake... I thought Karen was kidding when she ask me to go along as i am temp... But in the end, my sifu also came and ask me to come along... So i went... After awhile someone came and ask if they can borrow our room for a while so we went out and decided to go to the pantry when we finally settle down... Sifu came and say that they no need the room already and we can go back to it... Had fun learning how to play with the stocktaking scanner machine... di di di hahaha... So want to scan my sifu hahaha... I make mistake he still dare to laugh at me and ended up being beat by me but not normal desiree's hard one... Cos he teach me things so i also not very nice to hit him too hard...

I am not on the schedule for stocktaking as its not my job and since this week should have been my last but i think i got to extend cos of the 3 of us that learnt i am the only one who is more confident as i use the pos system which is used in part 2 of the stocktaking everyday... And my sifu asked me to go for stocktake tomorrow with him and priscilla who was suppose to go only... Priscilla is happy as she say she going to depend on me next week... Usually this job is done by the girl who was in this job before, karen and sifu but auditors are coming next week so karen cannot go and i think sifu will be away for a day and busy so we 3 ended up having to have to take on the job... How i wish i could just stay and have fun...

Been Lazy to Update or Forgotten hahaha...

Today, when i open my blog i realise that its almost 2 months since my last blog and in between i have already change a job... My first one was super boring and the job is definitely and totally non- challenging that i think its so not worth my time... So i change to my current job... Pay is the same as its also temp job... The difference is last time is simple admin job while now its accounts job... But i am enjoying everyday and what to say i find it more and more enjoyable as the people there are nice and fun... My sifu (Teacher) aka my correction tape came back from holidays only after i was in the job for 4 days then after he came in for a day he got MC for 2 days... He went holiday to Gold Coast which now the weather should be getting warm and caught a flu... Why my correction tape cos he is the one that correct all my mistakes when i do wrongly haha... :P

His jokes are really cold or maybe i a bit slow but one thing he talk very wen rou or maybe is we don't really know each other... I think babysitting me everyday correcting my wrongs and teaching me things is a bit tiring haha... Sorry... Cos sometimes i don't know what's he talking about and give him blur look... But don't be mistaken that i make a lot of mistakes... Today, he said how come my tweety bird bottle the tweety like balding then i never catch the joke and say to him when you are 40 u also like the tweety bird balding... He only 25 so got years to go... Yesterday, was public holiday and he have to go back office and work cos closing... The temp 18 yr old boy also went back and help so nice of him but i never go having sore throat and slight flu... Today, i left my correction tape in the office doing OT himself... He ask me to help him check the discrepencies of what the temp boy did before but i check for 2 shops then told him i going back liao cos its already pass my work time and ask him to match himself cos still got about 10 shops to go and so many discrepencies if i stay and do until when? Forgot to mention i working at Adidas so thats why there is shops... When I leaving, he still say to see me tml and i tell him u see me in ur dreams...
