Yesterday was my first day of work. Finally got a job after several tries in different profession. Lucky me! Where I'm workin currently? Well... in Teban's Sheng Shiong as a Drink packaging. The job's tough but fun I must say. The people there are friendly though many can't talk proper English and Malay. So can say I'm at a disadvantage though. Right? You don't think so? Why? Hmm... true true. I can always try to approach them like I did with a few of them. In the afternoon I'm workin with two more people as the Drinks department but at night... I'm all alone, really! First day of work s already tough but what's going subsequently? I can handle it.

The heaviest amount of drink I carried before for today is ten cartons of red bull drinks. It's weight is manageable but when I was supposed to bring it to the carpark to transfer it to the customer's car... kinda troublesome since there's no ramp but only stairs. I was being called by other customers by different names. One is "young man" (sounded wrong but ok la), "boy" and "excuse me. Can you..." but the worst is when I was being called "hey Mat" by one Malay aunty!! Sheesh! Do I look like one?! But throughout the whole day I was smilin and being friendly to everyone! Kinda surprisin to me. Hehehe... The weird thing is, even during work I could even find the time to think of her! Weird though coz others are mostly thinkin of ending the day or eatin while I'm at that! Totally weird! Hehehe... Oh well.

Thanks to this job my life is affected. Number one is I can't call coz she's most probably has fallen asleep. Number two is when others are planin to go out I'll have some sort of difficult. That I tell you later. But if I were to look at a positive side, I'm actually experiencin what my father has to go through each day. I really felt the hardship he has been through and how hard it is to earn a livin. I also gain some skills too.

My workin time is from 2.30PM to 10.30PM and for 6 days and only one off day that falls only on the weekdays and not weekends. Two weeks before Chinese New Year I'm goin to have to work till late night and it can go all the way until 2AM! But I'm fine with it. I'm not picky and I never complain. The other thing is everyone will not be given an off-day for that period of time. Tough rite? Guess so but its worth it.

Something rather unexpected happen when I was helpin my colleagues to pack up before closing the Supermarket! When I was outside with several of my colleagues helpin to carry the stuffs back in, one of the female cashier who is quite young said my hair was cute!! Well, she didn't say it to me but to my colleague when he pass by her and he translate it to me directly after that in front of her. Not that it matters much but it just shock me and I stood there lookin at him after he said that to me for a couple of seconds. The reason being is that it is actually my first time for someone to say that about me!! Hehe... BUT!! I have someone in heart already so yea. Hehe... thats one reason why I'm working hard now. Planin to buy somethin for her and I hope she'll like it but I won't get it so soon. Still too early and the time isn't rite yet. I notice somethin... Look at the time! I have to sleep already. See ya later! Jaana! Chao!
