Brain freeze

I think my brain freeze is getting more and more frequent. Probably stared on a screen too long. However, the frequency is when I talked more or when I am out of focus. I worried about something while doing the current task. It is as if my brain split into two, thinking different things while my mouth spurting a mixture of the thoughts. One thing about my condition did get better. Motor skills. Ever since I started playing Nintendo Switch, how I dealt with buttons have improved a little bit. Maybe also from the repetitive action. However, my weakness was still my thoughts splitter. I cannot control it sometimes. It took training to have one troublesome thoughts not to affect your current task. I can suddenly have problems dealing with remembering what I wanted to ask even though I repeated it for each customer. It ran through and through for like a thousand times and yet sometimes, I brain freeze suddenly. Petrol, Voucher, Card, payment methods. repeat a few thousand times I guess. Yet

Wasting Time 2

I have waited until 6:30pm. Only then I received a "pardon?". That looked like you didn't even prepare for the agreed place (ur home) and time (Today 6-7pm). Somemore it was at her place. She dare say she get stood up by people before? Even if people stood you up, you are still waiting in the house. If you stood me up, I travelled a good 45 mins there and another to go back home. Not even have the courtesy to reply. I was there like 5:08pm. Dropped her a message at 5:13 pm and some other message to see if I got her attention. Only by 6:30pm when I am about to board a bus, she replied pardon? Wasted my time. Travelling there took 45 mins and back 45 mins. 1hr 15 mins waiting. 2hrs 45mins... for nothing. Worst seller on Carousell. Already told her a week earlier.

Wasting time

After work, now I am at Hougang... Help my cousin to collect some books she wanted. Agreed with 6pm but reached much earlier at 5:10pm. I am waiting at the void deck and there is a chair here. I have been sitting here for close to 30 mins.... No reply yet. Sigh... Then an uncle approached me and ask if I know ang moh. I said ok ok only la. He then asked me how to do the carpark transfer thing. Hehe. I said I dunno about carpark cause I don't park. In the end, we filled up everything but was wrong. He only wants me to read it out. Think he can listen and understand but cannot read and understand. Finally, we knew we filled up the wrong form and it cannot get through. Use another form and it was correct!

Even more flowers. Small forest.

Tmr’s my day. You opening for me?

Purple

I am still thinking about the purple motorbike I saw earlier on. It was really the best purple I have seen. Almost like my phone. I was thinking to get a motorbike license for quite sometimes... I don't think I can get a purple car. Too expensive but purple motorbike possibly more affordable. I don't go out a lot but the purple makes me feel like buying it. Do you know why I buy iPhone? It is because of the purple colour. I bought it the night it was out. Anyway, my story is, should I get married so that people won't think I am interested with their boyfriend? I am just getting by in life. Doing whatever to past time so I can find what is really worth living this life. There are reason why I preferred single life and interest or not in men or women weren't really in it. I am an individual soul incapable to thinking why a person should marry, have kids and die while these world weren't worth it at all. Existence or not, it doesn't make sense because with time, pe

Weird day

A traffic police was paying for his things. Right then, a family of three came in and queue behind the police. The kid saw the police and exclaimed to his parents, "Look! America Police!". So cute. Nope, the are Singapore Police. The police did look around to look at the kid but still in a friendly face. The kid was like 4 - 5 years old. Can't tell. Some kids were taller and some were shorter. I go by average. Another family was there at the next counter paying their stuff. Then I heard a kid telling the cashier next to me, "Thank you, bye bye!". Hehehe. Good kid. While a lady was paying at my counter, her kid saw the knitted flower on the counter beside me. He took one and ask how much was it. He then hold it dearly and said he wanted it and liked it. He was like 7-8 years old I guess. I guess I weren't young to like that hahaha because my mum can make it. My mum can knit a bag with handle or as desk mat with patterns. hm.. The kid was sweet though to lik

Counting Boxes

One day, we need to start counting things. The problem is the boxes are all the same. No marking, no nothing. There are Box A and Box B but there was no marking except to open each boxes and see before counting since both boxes looked exactly the same. What sort of design is that! It is like lucky draw. Stupid. If everything is like that, wouldn't it be the worst nightmare for people who do inventory? Is like we don't have enough on our plate? hm... anyway, I still don't get the idea of the inventory counting thing. Isn't it a bit pointless. Example, I counted the number of cigarettes. After handover shift, the person who took over don't count again but took from it. How did they know how much is originally there or if this person did not intentionally change or accidentally miscounted? What is the idea behind? or logic behind? Example person A write 5, the next person write 5 after selling 1. The next next person write 4 after selling another one. Meaning, 1 go mis

Continue Scam 3

Ok. One item not found. We will all pay for it but the thief was not found. I paid for things without a reason. If the mistake was really mine, I think it is ok for me to pay for it. I felt pretty bad about it. Maybe working there was wrong too. For one, if there is a thief, the cashier will pay for it so, hey thieves, it is ok to steal. Your item will always be paid for. Sigh... Should I continue or shall I find a better job? Maybe I should do a real job if this is the case with part time job. I thought with less hours I can do more of my things. Turned out, some hours given have to pay for something else. Is it better less hour? Or work more hours but being paid double? Watched a few movies. When you are older, certain things in the old movies that you didn't understand when you watched it while you were younger, suddenly became clear. I watch the Devil's Wear Prada and Confession of a Shopaholic again. Now I understand the meaning of cashback. I always thought it was some

Continue Scam 2

Monday (8th May) Got one drive off 13.25. Sunday (7th May) Got one drive off 82.70. Saturday (6th May) Got one drive off 0.29. Since it was small, we just split it and not reported it. While taking over the shift, another colleague said in the morning, there was one and also 10+ dollars. They were investigating it too. The cashier said she got ask but the person said no petrol. Thursday (4th May) Got one drive off 5.00+. Not sure if it was the same day but got one is 0.70 cents but I managed to call out before the person go off. If I got 22 customers and customers buying things too, then how to make sure these people don't drive off if the payment was not done properly. You pumped a certain amount and not even paid for it??? Then I don't be cashier sia. Just keep on pumping by causing problem to the system and then go off without payment. Anyway, Thursday one, we split the bill among ourselves. I paid 1 dollar. It also happened during my break time but I think before that the s

Scam

Sometimes, I felt like I am working a scam job. The amount I needed to pay could be about 100 now. If it was due to the lack of diligence, I would say it's ok. That is my fault and I will make sure I can improve with more precaution. As I did, then new ones popped up with no security at all. The condition gets more ridiculous each time that it felt like these were the traps being put there to get money from us. It felt so insecure and somehow didn't serve the purpose of a software anymore. Anyway, I kept the money on my pencil case just in case I got short again. When excess we give and when short we give... Not sure. New way of seeing things. If due to being careless and lack of precaution, no matter how much preparation you have made, it's in vain. Negligence was another and being too confident will also has its shortfall. Another was the customer. If they want to scam you, they can. If they want to help you, they can. God bless the really really good customers that we h

Complain or hideous SOP

Sometimes after following all the SOP to get job done, you don't get complain from the customer you are currently serving. But the next 2-10 people waiting in the queue not knowing what you have been doing because they don't care and they have been waiting. The fatest way to do things will cause the current customer to complain but at least the next 2-10 people won't complain you. Like forgetting to bring card, forgetting to bring wallet, forgetting to bring handphone.... Just to solve this one person problem, I might not even get a good review from this person but I will get complains from the people in the long queue. If I didn't, at least only this one person, the rest of the queue even though fast and also no good review, comparing both, the number of people is definitely lesser. Only people with the capability to complain knows how to write a review. Anyway, if there is no way I am not getting complain, at least I tried not to give money away for free by doing hide
