Down

Arrggghh.... feeling so down and moody today. My heart feels uncomfortable..

Was suppose to go to santa parade today. But have to work. Feeling uncomfortable cause I was the one who asked to work today. I know I'll regret it.

Have a work mate who's scheduled to start at 4 but cant make it to work. So I asked the supervisor if I can take her shift. Then unfortunately the supervisor ask me to come at 1 instead. Santa parade's at 2 to 3:30. Could have made it if I start at 4.

Feel like crying already. Was looking forward to it for a long time and when I heard my sis said it's this sunday I was so happy. Maybe I should have said no to my supervisor. :(

Dont know if I did the right thing. Sacrificing my santa parade for more money. Might regret and sulk over it for a long time I think.

Hope my sis can get some pics for me so at least I can have a little feeling of it.

Busy?

Poor blog.. sorry for abandoning you for so long..:(

Excuse: been busy

Just an excuse. Worked for 6 days last week but just 5 hours a day. Everyday is the same routine. But today I had one room with a blocked toilet. I think the shit was too big that it couldn't go through. Anyways, don't wanna go into too detailed. One word to describe - disgusting.

Hmm... really wanna get more hours of work but wanna have time to celebrate christmas. It's my favourite celebration of the year afterall.

All the decorations are already up. Pass by Smiths and coughleys the other day and they have really cute puppet displays and Christmas songs. I'll get a pic the next time. So so cute.

Too bad NZ don't have white Christmas. Or else it'll be perfect...

I'm so so broke. So many things to pay for but have so little hours of work. And worst thing is this week is the last week of allowances. Arrgg... how to save up enough for my holidays. :(

By the way, already booked my ticket back to Malaysia on the 11th Jan, arriving on 12th. Flying from Auckland to KL via Gold coast. Have to spend almost 12 hours at Gold Coast but luckily I have my sis to accompany me so might just go to the town.

Also booked a ticket to Hong kong on the 13th Jan till 17th. So basically just spend like one night at home in Malaysia then I'm off again.

Sad thing is, all my closest friends from hong kong are not going back this year. What bad luck. No one to bring us around. But I will be there with Derek, my bro and his friend, my sis, my cousin hui shian and her fren, and also ck and pinko. Should be able to find our way around with so many brains i guess.

Anyone who would be in Hong kong on the 13th till 17th Jan and would like to volunteer to bring us around? Pleaseee.....??

Suffering

This few day's like hell to me. Everyday worried about looking for a second job even till I dream of looking for jobs at night. woke up 6 am this morning cause I couldn't sleep. As most of you should know, I seldom have sleeping problems. I can sleep any time anywhere.

Why? Why is this happening to me?

Yesterday I had like one good news and one bad. Good news is, the Indian girl along with the china girl that I dislike so much at work got caught for watching TV in the guest room. So funny.. Come on. If you wanna do something bad, do it smartly man.

Supervisors always come and check like every one or two hour but they still can have the guts to sit down in the guest room and watch TV.

Bad news. My eyes is infected with bacteria again. This time is worst. It's in both eyes. I actually felt it last week but it wasn't bad so I left it. Until these few days it got really bad. My eyes turn really red and watery when I'm working.And there's like foreign substances coming out of my eyes. Now I can't even open my right eyes. OMG!! It's so painful!!

Went to see the doctor this morning since I could not sleep. The doctor gave me a stronger eye drops than the one I had before. BUT..... I can't wear my contacts when I'm on the drops until it's fully recover. I need my lenses to work!!

How can I work without lenses. I won't even be able to see if the rooms are already cleaned or not. Especially the toilet. We have to make sure the whole toilet do not have even one hair. But I dont think I can even see if there's hair even if it's right in front of me.

Then.... I came up with a solution. Clever me... I'm going to wear one side of my lenses and apply the drops the other till that eyes recover than I'll switch eyes. Haha... funny but I think it'll work.

Complains..complains..

Haiz.. Only have like 20 hours of work last week. Arrgghhh... I need work. Need more money!! How??

Only one week of work but I already have people that I hate so much at work. There's this Indian girl who's also a new employee like me. While we were working together today she were just mocking around and even watch TV in the hotel room.

I hate workers like that. Don't have sense of morality. And she keep on thinking she's so clever and always right. Keep on telling me what to do. Grrr.... so angry...

She was putting some milk into the hotel fridge and she put two packets. I told her that we only need to put one but she thinks she's right and won't even listen to me.

There's this other China girl who always shirk as well and always complaining that the work is hard and tiring. Come on man, we're just working for 5 hours. Even after cleaning the first room she already start complaining. Worst thing is she complains every single day. Driving me crazy...

I'm so miserable now. Every day hoping that I can at least get an interview for any of the tons of jobs I've applied.

It's all this stupid Sky city's fault. At first I thought they will at least give me like 40 hours to work so I dint apply any other jobs in case there'll be a time clash. But now all the jobs are taken. So hard to get a job now. Haiz... Think I have to start praying everyday now and hope God will answer my prayers. :)

Phantom of the opera

Best musical I've watched. Er... Actually,it's the first and only one I've watched. :) But still very very good. The stage effects was really good and love the story line. Nearly teared in the ending.


My ticket





Inside. Weren't allowed to take pics inside, got told off after taking a couple blur ones cause was dark inside.

Taken during intervals. CK bought a magnum. Me n Daren so wanted to get one too but we didn't have cash and they only except cash. CK was so lucky she got just the right change to buy one magnum.

The lovely couple

First day of work

First day of work is normally the worst day cause you'll always be lost and confused. But lucky for me, my first day was awesome. Like free money. Hahaha...

I thought yesterday was for induction, uniform fitting and making our employee badges but after doing all those our manager told us that we're going to start work. I was shocked. Cause we started all the induction and stuff at 2 and i thought we'll able to finish around 5.

End up I only finish work at 9 and after having dinner, I only got home at 10 pm. And I also spoiled my diet. I only had oat around 10 am and only got to eat at 9. My stomach was growling the whole time I was working.

There were all together 7 new employees and we paired up into twos and followed a more experienced housekeeper. They showed us all we need to do and then we had to clean a room ourselves. They said once we're used to it we'll work alone and we have to clean 16 rooms each in 8 hours. Still thinking how to do that cause me and my partner cleaned 1 room together and took nearly an hour.

Cleaning rooms are pretty tiring but after cleaning one room we had to do a 'turn down'. All we had to do is going into rooms, close the curtains and leave boxes of cookies so that once customers gets into their rooms the environment is set for them to sleep. This is the first time I heard that hotels actually do that. Lol...

And I heard that the suites in our hotel costs like $3500 per night. That is so crazy. Even if I have the money I wont spend that amount of money for one night in a high class hotel.

My badge..The badge photo look ugly cause I have my hair tied up. Make me look fat.

My working shoes

Got my shoes for $20 in No. 1 shoe warehouse. Its the nicest I can find but a little scared they don't approve this type cause its soft cloth. I think they want those that are hard but all the hard ones in the store were so ugly. I cant stand wearing ugly shoes. Just hope they don't look at my shoes.

And they have a really high tech system for employees to sign in and sign out. We have to use our fingerprint and our ID and the scanner will see if our fingerprint matches our ID. I think they do this so that employees can't ask their work mates to help them sign in. A lot people do that in those punch card systems and in those worksheet ones they can also fake their working times.

I'm scheduled to work from 4 to 9 pm from tues to fri . Really disappointed cause only got so few hours. So I went out to town today to hand out some CVs. And to my surprise, Dunkin Donuts is hiring!! Yay!! I really really really wanna work there cause the job's easy and I love Dunkin Donuts. Handed my CV in and they said they'll call me in for an interview. I so so hope I can get this job.

Over and start

Wooohooo!!! All exams over!! The sleephead finally got her nice deep sleep, without any disturbance.

Haven't been sleeping enough for the past few days cause of exams and our apartment's alarm went of in the middle of the night for 2 nights in a row. It was so so irritating cause it was ringing like for 5 minutes. Or maybe more. Well, it feels like it was ringing for 5 minutes from the moment it woke me up.

Great great news. I got the job!! Am really proud of myself cause I got it out of the so many people who went to the interview. Or probably they hired quite a few. Haha... I'm probably thinking too much. :p

Anyways, today's the first day of my job but it's just for induction, uniform fitting and badge hand out. They told me to bring black trousers, working shoes (closed toes) and lunch.

Black trousers?? Dont even know what type of trousers they want but I'm pretty sure I don't have it. The only black pants I got is my track pants and my sis have one working office trousers which I have to breath deeply to even get the buckles closed up. Arrggg... why do they have to make it so difficult for me?? Why can't they just provide since they are providing the shirt for our uniform??

And what do they mean by working shoes?? The only shoes I have that can be worn comfortably for work is...?? er..... I think my sport shoes. All I have is boots, high heels and flats. Hmmm.... still really frustrated on what I should bring.

Turned my cupboard inside out but still can't find a suitable trousers. How?? Hope they don't fire me just because I dint bring a suitable trousers and shoes. :(

Probably have to go and hand out some CVs after work later. Need to get a night job as well. Want to have at least 60 to 70 hours a week. My sis is saying that I wont be able to manage that cause housekeeping job is really tiring.

I don't care. I'm going to work till I used up every last bit of my energy. I wanna make loads of $$. Problem is, I probably can't even get a night job. :(

Started my diet plans from 2 days ago. I've surfed through the web and look at the diet methods and decided my diet meals for the holidays is:

Breakfast
Half cup of oat + half cup of water + half cup of milk. Microwave for 2 minutes (taste really bad cause its tasteless)
Yogurt- Actually supposed to eat those unsweetened, low fat yogurt but my sis insisted on buying the ones with fruits in it but it's still low fat.

Lunch
No lunch. Unless really hungry then can eat an apple or some fruits

Dinner
Have to eat dinner before 5. The earlier you eat the more fats you lose. Well, at least that's what I think. My dinner would be subway. They dint really say what I should eat for dinner, just have to eat before 5 but I guess subway is quite healthy and lesser fats so decided to get subway everyday. sub of the day's only $3.90 so will be able to save as well.

Have to also do a little exercise at night. Just for like 5 to 10 min is enough. Hope I'll be able to lose all my fats by the end of the holidays.:)

Interview

Before going to my interview today, in my mind I was thinking I'm probably the only person who's interviewed. Since they contacted me like one day after my application, so i thought probably they really need someone to fill the space but couldn't find one. But guess what...??

There were like around 15 people there and all going after one freaking house keeping position. There were 3 maori, 2 indians, 3 asians (not including me), and all others were caucasians. Oh ya, and one malay guy. What the hell man?? Dint even know so many people are looking for jobs.


The worst thing is, I went to the interview wearing jeans and boots. yeah... i thought it weren't a really prestigious position so I din't bother to dress up. arrghhh... regretting it now.

Before my interview my sis told me to wear a little formal and said 'it's an interview man. how can you wear jeans' and i said 'duh... they're hiring housekeepers'. Shouldn't have said that. Haih... and before going to the interview they told me to bring my passport for proof of my residency and as usual, being so forgetful and reckless, I forgot. I bet that must have been a minus points for me.


Hmmm.... guess I have to go print some CVs tommorow. So so so need a job asap!!

While me and my sis were super super free after most of our exams, we visited some of the popular blog sites and came across one where I thought the blogger were a little mean, giving really harsh comments.

There's this guy who just ask her if she can blog about his relationship with his gf cause his gf really like her blog and they were facing some problems. That blogger bloged about him being ridiculous and called him a moron and a fucker. FYI, moron=stupid and stupid is a mean word!! What a meanie!!

Yeah its your blog and you can blog about whatever you want. Yeah your blog should be about you instead of other people. Yeah I get it, you dont care about what other people thinks of you. But why cant you just reject him nicely. You can scold those evil people who smokes inconsideartely and managers who serving is bad but he was just being sweet and wanted to do something for his gf.

What would he feel if he reads that blog and knows the blogger is talking about him. Already after feeling so sad because of relationship problems, he have to take all those harsh comments. What if he can't take it and commit suicide?? Some people just dont have any heart. Haih....


AND I think people who says they dont give a damn about what other people thinks are people who cares the most.

Relaxing..

Finally over with the hectic life of having exams and now I can lie on my cozy bed, relaxing the day off... the fun part is i get to relax while my sis and bro are studying their asses off.. haha....:P
Actually still have one paper to go but its a restricted open book which means i get to bring in 3 double sided A4 into the exam hall.. Im planing to put all my lecture slides into this 3 piece A4.. were trying it today in the library...well, almost there.. still trying..


All my exams were... er..... ok i guess..... I think it was better than my last semester.. 'I think'.... Hope I'm right..

I have a interview tommorow at sky city hotel for the position of house keeping.. yay.. one step closer to getting a job.. but actually I was hoping I could get a waitressing job there. I applied for 4 position altogether.. 3 was for waiting positions and 1 for house keeping.. unfortunately, the house keeping department called me like one day after my application. guess they really in desperate need of housekeepers.. really can't wait to start earning some $$$... need to save for my plane ticket back and also some miscellanous. and also have to start working to lose some fats.. been putting on weight since study week before exams because of all the junks i ate while studying..

My aim for the next 2 months: Save a lot of $$$ and lose a lot of fats...
