{ The 1st entry in Dec is so damned loong!!! }
Woah, this is like my first entry in December. So it’s gona be really long. Hehehe. It’s been a week since me, Synn, Tyris and Eve has started working at Palm Beach. Plus we’ve been getting our butts out of our houses at 12+pm and reaching home via the company bus at abt 2am.
It practically sucked the first few days, the pay is pathetic and Rach was with us the first day, but she quitted on that day itself, so only the 4 of us are left. Working hrs 2pm –11pm, 9 hrs and it’s juz a mere $800/mth. Juz fuck it, we are like foreign cheap labour cos we earn abt 30 bucks a day though we haf CPF and unpaid leave or sth like that. We do all the menial tasks like wiping plates and bla bla in the afternoon, den serving customers occurs at night, and we’re like always standing except when we eat dinner at 4.30pm and supper sumwhr b/w 10 to 10.30pm. So my pot belly grows in size as I slp so late, like 3am after bathing and washin up(we only haf one set of uniform) and the damned cortisol hormone gets smug cos it finally gets it freedom as it’s released, givin me the paunch or the layer of fat ard my abdomen.
Yest was my day off,(I’m writin dis aft midnite) the 1st since we started wk and I’m the last of my frens to get it, we r like donkeys for slogging so hard but we dun gt much money. But then, I dun reli care, cos my frens r wif me and I work in the canopy alone nw, aft Lilian quitted, I haf lotsa free time to think abt things so I find it rather peaceful. Plus, it’s bside the sea and I realize I luv the sea so juz seeing the sea, flowers, grass, the Merlion + various tourists ard me, I’m at peace. Guess I sound anti-social to most pple frm the way I say it ahha. But wadever, I’m satisfied and that’s all that matters. N nw, my shell is tougher towards the many criticisms ard me. Maybe that scoldin frm Fei Lao Shu(fat mouse, a nickname given by one of the cleaner uncles)haha which made me cry the 1st time after working thr, and sarcastic remarks frm V plus certain lectures frm N made me stronger. As I once saw this quote, “It’s abt mind over matter. If u dun mind, it don’t matter.”
The staff are really friendly as we get to interact more and wearing the tiger-printed skirt ahha, to June Amber, it’s not leopard, but tiger, isn't that hard to bear anymore. -_- I kinda look 4ward to the 2 hrs on the company bus now, hee hee, we really haf fun though we r tired. Haha, Gary, he’s one goofy person. Hope he nv sees dis cos I’m under him. The other gd thing abt palm beach would haf to be the free food and I dun spend any $$ in a day except to buy frutips at the train station cos I dun go anywhr b4 or aft work so even if I wanted to spend $$, I dunno whr I could spend it on.
Hohoho and during jazz juz nw, aft missin the past 2 lessons, (1st: Gabe and frens arrived in Sg that day. 2nd: 1st day of work and I really had to forsake the jazz class, so $20 went down the drain like that, 1 jazz lesson is $10) Maria told me I had slimmed down. HAHA, I really din expect it, cos my belly is swollen and I’m pretty sad abt it cos I haf very bad livin habits(like my slpin time is so irregular) now and I shit very rarely, BOO HOO. So sometimes I think I get dpressed at the canopy bcos of that, I mean on top of my frequent mood swings but in all I feel I’m “cultivatin” myself when I work alone at the canopy haha. I’m weird, that’s it.
Anyway I came home and asked Ma if I had really slimmed down. She went all serious and said it looked like I had by a little. BIG JOKE 2 me AGAIN! I asked was it due 2 wad I was wearing.(I always wear this really comfy navy Converse shirt that I think has a slimmin effect cos of the cutting and my fave black gym pants so I look 5kg lesser haha.)Ma replied mayb, and gave a chuckle herself. Den I sorta fought wif Ma that I’d finish foldin the clothes in 10 mins’ time by myself w/o her help. The clothes resemble one of the mountains in the Himalayas, ok, I’m lame, I couldn’t even laugh abt it myself. Moving on, I failed to finish in 10 mins and I took like 20 mins. End of story. Soz pple, that’s pretty boring ha. But doin chores lyk tat make me feel tat I’m living n being aware that I’m part of a family is necessary for me to feel safe and secure so washin & foldin clothes, watchin tv, reading on my bed, snapping at my parents at times and stuff like that help. And I seriously find it sad that I still snap at my parents given the very few times I c them nw cos I’m out most of the time while working. But we chg to part time after this Sun and I’ll have a chance to go Kinokuniya finally. My dad is naggin abt the voucher again haha, he kps tinking I'll 4gt but the fact is I always rmb such things + I haf “pesky” Pam to remind me aha, soz Pam, i was j.k. Tats y I’m really satisfied to be at home. Cancers are homey creatures, period.
1 last ting, WM was askin abt the greatness of the buns when I asked him to kp sum for me cos he was bartender that day and I was like, “Ya, u shd try it.” He said, “I’ve tried it and we haf lots of them back in China” so he doesn’t lyk them much. Ha, we tok in Mandarin and it’s really funny hw his accent sounded. Actuali all he says with that accent reli tickles me. Basically, it’s the cause of mostly mine and Tyris’s constant giggling during dinner as we hear him talkin at the other table bside ours and Gary said I was laughin at him cos I sat opp him across the table ahha. Ok, I really gotta go. Oh man, I’m really naggy... Will continue the other 2 days of the American kids’ time here once I really haf that much of time.
