Now. have time to blog after the A and E camp and today's first day at breadtalk.
The A and E camp was rather good., though there were like only 12 girls out of the almost 70 people in the camp. I lost my voice because I screamed a bit too much and was too high during he 4 days of the camp.
Number of activities that i particularly liked would be star gazing (we saw the Orion belt and Jupiter despite the bad weather!) and some of the games we did during the camp. One would be the adaptation of a Left For Dead game where WE were the survivors. Though i got "Killed" in the end (I sort of came too late to be rescued despite surviving the attacks of the "zombies" ), it was really fun. The skit was quite funny, though it did not turn out well, but we still got first in the overall group standings. :)
I was working at breadtalk today, at the same place at steph's, though I was working as a baker. The first day was quite general, as of always for a first day, doing a bit of this and that, like putting on toppings, making bread, displaying the bread.etc. it's more crowded as compared to shin tokyo, and there is more tension in there. today, a few arguments were triggered, most by the head baker and the manager because of the Christmas season, due to the many logcakes that the customers ordered for the holidays, and that the head baker wasn't happy because of the lack of space.
Then of course, with tension comes temper, then comes the trigger of the "explosion", and the baker starts cursing and barking mad during the remaining 4 to 5 hours that i was working.e is quite good to me, and i am quite glad. As usual, most of the workers aren't local which was obvious.
Well, that should be it for now. Working at Shin tokyo tomorrow.

MY ADVENTURES@ SHIN TOKYO>
Ha.LOL.
I sort of wanted to write this post after my Sunday shift, but I was so lazy, and I sort of dragged and dragged... until today, I guess.
How's it like working in a restaurant?
No, it isn't like working in mac. Neither does it seem like working as a lifeguard or a retail assistant.
It is like a 3 in 1 package; cleaner, dish-washer and waiter all jumbled into one job. And for me, I have another job, preparing drinks and barrister sounds cool (though I know a barrister prepares coffee only, but let's ignore that fact.)
It's horrible as you cannot afford to make mistakes. I did, on my first day. Apparently I spilled some drinks on the floor(Luckily not on the customer). The entire crew sort of helped me cleaned up, and let me tell you . I REALLY FELT VERY GUILTY then.
It's nerve-wrecking, especially during peak hours. it is simply hell, especially you have to sastisfy every request of the customer. And it can get very frustrating sometimes.
It's painful, because I sort of stood on my chord shoes during work, which is like an inch tall (Luckily not any taller) and by the time I took it off, my legs were hurting.
It's dirty, because you are expected to clean and make sure that every detail is perfect. i sort of regret making things difficult for the people in Sakae when we had our wild buffet lunches then.
BUT, it's satisfying, especially when the customers smiles back at you in appreciation after you have serviced them. You will feel very accomplished, from not knowing anything at all, to someone who can be really service-orientated, and picking up new skills at the same time.It's a call to wake up, that you finally know money is really hard to come by.
Well, i like it. HAHA. Though my legs are still hurting form standing. Working tomorrow. visit me during lunchtime!

Now in the library, surfing the net. It's quite boring though;cannot acces facebook, go youtube will lag, that leaves me with just blogging to do.
I sort of gave up my plans to find work anymore, I think it's just alright to stick to Shin Tokyo and Alcia's suggestion . Still, went to Vivo yesterday to find work, around 4 F and B restaurants, and all giing me the same reply, the"I will call you back soon"(which sort of means that you just go and find other job".
Haiz. it's really pissing me off. It's really hard looking for a job without someone's recommendation.
Anyway, guess who i saw in Vivocity. MADAM PREMA! OMG. I was really very shocked, startled.(and so on.) Still, acted that everything was normal. Hope I am not going to see any teachers again form CCK when i am working, but that's quite unlikely.
I am sort of regretting that I signed up for the astrnomy camp, hjust sort of realised that it was 1 4 day camp, longer than I have expected. But what can i do?
Haiz. Anyway, starting work on thursday instead @ shin Tokyo.
Shall end here. no more credit le.

HOHO.
I HAVE A JOB!!!
Okay.
Maybe not. Around 90% confirmed?
Just a tactic to waste space, i guess.
So today was day 18 of the "Finding-Job" Campaign. It was pretty good..(the first 2 paragraphs just describes it all?) It's a job at Yew tee Point, at some store selling sushi. the place isn't that crowded, the pay isn't that good, but all i need is a job now. So that should be my job for the weekdays, plus Alicia's recommendation, I think I should be with a job for maybe the next 2 months plus or so.
Went to Harbourfront Centre to apply for a job as a waiter for Sentosa. Then i went to visit Stephanie! Ha.LOL. She looked really very nice in her uniform! Though she didn't notice me (She was busy putting bread into packs and packs) , well, she seemed pretty happy in there...
Okay. That's it for now.

Post number 60!! (It's an achievement since the blogs that i set up could only have maximum 10 posts before I lose interest and delete it.)
So, I have like a job pending for approval, which is to be a waiter at some hotel at Sentosa. Alicia's recommendation,(thanks alicia!) and the employer seemed cool abut it, though i have to wait till next week for results.
And I have another job, also a waiter, but in different and varying locations (Like my working venue changes everyday). Mum felt that it was quite suspicious though, because some friend's son of hers got cheated, not getting paid though he worked his ass off. Well, have to wait for father to confirm this, because I am really okay working for them , but not getting cheated.
Alicia's way is more better though ($7 VS$ 6 / hour). But I can't do anything but just wait...
Today sort of started packing up the house, with the kitchen. Not finished yet, and we have to continue tomorrow.
Well, that's it for now.
