Well, I’m now writing this at work at NUS cause I have nothing to do again… these few days at work really made me miss school…a lot. I always have this feeling that I should be studying right now and not on the com the whole day, even if its work I’m doing which is earning me some money…lol
My normal day at work starts at 6.30 am when I wake up for breakfast and leave for work… my mom drops me off at macritchie for me to take 74 to NUS… every morning I see bus SBS995E come and I take it for the hour long ride there including the jams along HC there… fighting off the need to sleep, I wait the hour long ride till I get off… there, it’s a 10 min walk to NUS and the building that I work in… along the way I might meet up with Jia Fu who happens to live there and is also leaving for work at great world city… I must note that SBS995E reaches the bus stop at mac quite on time but reaches my stop at times that can differ by 20mins or more… 2nd day at work, it reached at 7.50am, yesterday, it reached at 8.20am… LUCKY work starts at 8.30am…
Mornings are for me it seems to slack around and wait for work to come to me as my 3 bosses find stuff for me to do… then its working on the com or walk to and fro from the printer back to my table collecting print outs… I now know how damn hard it is to print certs for events…. Every one must check name and date and everything else… wtf… also,there is my "workmate" rishi whom i msg when ever i feel bored or just wanna talk... everyday a few msges fly between us... alot to talk about our own work...hahaa..that’s kinda my work so far and this lasts till 23th feb where I will be unemployed again training for the Malaysia fencing trip as well as for NS…[yes, it’s a bad idea to slack around and waste time like that]
Now, back to the first day at work, more correctly, the night of my first day of work… after work I went to vivo city via 166 to meet up with the fencing jrs for the ALL MEAT BUFFET… I got there at 6.30pm and booked sits that the place… waiting an hour for people to show up is not fun at all… trust me… but when they finally arrived, the fun begins… there is the "coin" given to us with "yes, please" on one side and "no, thanks" on the other to show when we want more meat or not... the deal among us was not to flip the "coin"...the salad bar was what we hit first, but picking up only a little bit, I returned to my sit to eat… than came the meat, after the first, it was a non stop flow of men carrying meat on a stick to carve it off in front of us onto the plate…again they came even before I can clear the last piece of meat…
During the meal, the football match was going on on the tv behind us and we were watching and eating at the same time, it did allow some time for the meat to settle down in us before the next bite… also, we became good friends of sorts with one of the waiters with meat and he would came over and serve us while watch and commenting on the match the was going on… we were betting with him who will win the match… soon, we started to slow down on our meat eating frenzy… the point to tell me to stop eating was when I wanted to eat another bite of rare steak and almost puke it out… than I told myself that I must stop eating… I turned over the “coin” and ended my meal… it was indeed all you can eat and that was all… and I’m not the only one, the others were also starting to feel sick and full… one by one we stopped[some didn’t…wtf]
After we all had our fill, we left and walked slowly[cause it feels sick to walk] to the bus stop to take bus… I took 855 with YC back home… thank god I have this one straight bus home from vivo…
