now playing: Hero by Enrique Iglesias (if you listen carefully, its a beautiful song)
i know i not have been blogging recently. been busy at work. that's right work. yc helped me find a temp job as a stock taker at That Card Company. The person who hired me was a Kiwi called Rochelle. Nice lady. I worked at her place from 9 - 5. What i usually did was account cards and pack them up to bring to the various stores all over orchard to restock the stores. it seems easy, but when you see 1000 cards the whole day it gets pretty mind numbing. i mean that literally. my brain went numb a couple of times. and i seemed like a production line, taking stock, pasting stickers, arranging etc. i took about 3 hrs for a medium sized stock to go. the worse part is not really preparing stock. the worst part is stock taking in the stores themselves. you just stay in the store accounting and counting cards that are there and checking them off the list. the longest i took was at times suntec (which i also had a bad run in there which i will not bother to waste my time on here), which was 6 hours! but all in all, the pay was nice for a nice 10 (tedious, mind numbing) days.
i also blew some of my pay on some (not really needed) stuff. i bought a customised bag at cineleisure for 78 dollars. put joker on the front of the bag, which i coloured black and white. will put up a visual when i get the bag. thats the discounted price by the way. also spent a total of 700 dollars on an ipod, earphones and a cover. feeling very guilty (but happy, in a guilty sense) now.
i also spent some time with the charlie section 2 guys the day we orded. had a dinner at a indonesian restaurant at clarke quay and talked through the night. also had a cute lan session where half of the people did not know how to play dota but was a pretty funny session.
on the 18 of nov, i also met up with the spds 21 guys and had dinner cum stayover at my house. it was great just to spend time reminiscing the old days. some of them stayed over as well and we played the ps2. had a great jap dinner to end the session as well. ah...money spent.... pain.
tomorrow, i head off; armed with my ipod and camera, to the island off People's Republic of China, called Taiwan, or Republic of China. There i will spend approximately 20 days to see my dad and brother after 6 months or so. halfway through my trip, i will go to Hokkaido, Japan as well for a short 5 days. i will keep you guys updated on my travels here so stay tuned.
to taiwan/japan.
