Homedec

I worked until the end of March at that company, which distributes (John Langford, Valentino, Inner Express) underwear, singlets, socks etc basically men's accessories. The only thing my eyes could feast on was the huge poster of a male model xD labuleh!

Anyway i was jobless for like a month until i got a part time job introduced by Shin, for 4 days at HomeDec exhibition at KLCC. i thought 4 days isn't bad, and the working hours was 9am-8am. UNTIL i got to work there... i was pretty hectic on the first day, typing furiously so that the queue would clear, which seem to be longer than the last time i looked up from the laptop. and on the 2nd day, i had a runny nose. shit. i was so desperately trying to inhale my snot or the watery goo back into my system while saying "hi sir, may i help u?" (snif snif) . the little devils were threatening to see the light of the world... zzzzzz then at night i got home, ate my dinner, took a tablet of i-can't-remember-what and clonked onto my bed. didn't even do my online game PW daily quest. i sms'd someone to do it, but my head was in another painful dimension i didn't get my username right. 3rd day was as usual, printer problems, but my head didn't give me any problems.

THe worst was day4, when at 6pm or so my head started to bang loudly again. Probably because the exhibitor in front of us had the vacuum on at high the whole day, or something. Or because i was staring at the laptop the whole day. Now i have Mavis, and Julie (biscuits) contacts, which will probably land me more pt jobs :P Those 2 reli beh tahan lol 1 molester another is a bully >_<

They Don't Know Maths!!

OK every item is bought from the supplier at the cost price which is about 20-40% off the retail price. Then when these items have discounts, during fairs etc, their price go down another 10-20%. Example, an item is RM20.00, at cost price (40%) its RM12.00, and with discount (10%) its RM10.00 with the discount amount counted from the retail price. Right? Another item is also RM20.00 at retail price, cost price at RM12.00, and with the discount 10% counted from the COST PRICE, the price becomes RM10.80. There is a difference right? Imagine when there are hundreds n thousands of that item. The difference isn't going to be "aiya 80cents oni ma!!"

I've been trying to explain that the way they key in (and asking me to key in) these datas are wrong. And that colleague of mine (Ms A) just don't understand. She just said that it doesn't matter as long as you just enter the amount at "Sales Adjustment" to balance them, following the total in the invoice which she already made (you'll be shocked at the silly mistakes she made). I just need to let it off somewhere and i'm doing it here. Anyway, so her logic is this-key in all data, if its not the same with the one in invoice, just add/minus accordingly to match them at the Sales Adjustment. I've been adding/minus the total which don't match because she's too lazy to check the openings and balances like she should. Instead she just copy whatever the supervisors feed her. Argh. Well, since I'm leaving this company which have a sucky system, i shouldn't care!

The arrangement for transports for deliveries and returns have another stupid long process. My other colleague which started work with me at the same time (Ms.B) had to copy 1 thing to 3 different books to keep a record of what going in and out. Example, returns for 1 book, deliveries for 1 book, transport company name 1 book, transport by our driver 1 book, and another 1 for the number of cartons/offer bins. They can't just use a log book to record them all. Don't know why. OR!! just use the computer dumbass. Amazingly, the same colleague which her wise logic (Ms A) , suggested to record in another book for every in and out with outlets. and the manager agrees with her saying its a great idea. Poor Ms B.... as if the other books don't already have them. Imagine when there's 5 deliveries n 5 returns, she gt copy each of them in more than 3 books..... -_- what a waste of time...

Im shortening my life working here, trying to point out their mistakes by acting the dumb one, like, "what's this? i don't know how to do it, it can't be balanced..." rather than, "wei.. why this thing all wrong wan? how u do geh... check properly la... see ur report i oso vomit blood... think i very free correct for u meh? u know how to do ur work anot? work so long already still dono how to do properly? other people few weeks also seng mok already... what is that inside ur head? nothing? i feel this job no suit u la! change other job ba."

Where do brains grow?

I have never been pissed off SO many times at one work place. Here I am, thinking whether to switch jobs (if i can find one anyway) or stick to it like i always do with my past jobs until i get accepted into Uni. THERE IS A SERIOUS ABSENCE OF COMMON SENSE. shit. there i go again.

I started my Japanese class, together with Shin and KarEe. The first class was alright, everything was going well... Until my 2nd class. I told the person in charge on Tuesday morning (1st class was on Monday) that i have classes on Monday and Thursday so i'll need to leave work earlier 30minutes, and i'll just have my lunch break for 30minutes instead of the usual 1hour. So, on Thursday evening,half an hour before my time to leave early, she told me to leave work as usual, because she wanted to inform the boss about my leaving work early. So much for telling her my schedule early! (Where did Mr Common Sense go on Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday entire morning and afternoon?) OK, so I thought maybe in half an hour she'll inform the boss so i could leave in time. Dreams on a castle made of glass... they talk and talk and boss went home, and she tells me, OK u can leave work early next week :)

I couldn't have my dinner, i rushed to KL Plaza, i ate my sandwich during a 5min break...AND I still have no idea why am I so patient with my jobs.

The people I think is sane at work is down to 2, when it was 3 before. Damn it. Praise to the Lord for those who has a peaceful work environment. Lucky bastards...

These people is at WAR to show who's the boss! When the boss is not around. Especially that storekeeper... and don't get me started with the pregnant lady... I swear, its not the hormones!




I felt my life has been shorten for a few years.

SHIT.

I have NEVER, i repeat, NEVER despised someone so much in my life. I say that, but I have lived for only 19 years. Who knows which bugger might top this bugger? Anyway, every time I see the storekeeper at the place I work at, I imagine myself reaching for ANYTHING nearby and launch it at him. When I started working there, I thought, well, he's not as bad as everyone is saying he is, he nags, but that is about it. Heaven knows I was SO wrong then. The events today made me reach my boiling point. Well, actually HE reached boiling point first.

Every outlets, whenever they want to return some goods, would issue a Goods Return Note (GRN), listing every items' code, price, whatnot. The GRN is something like what you would tear out from a receipt book, with a serial number, etc. Then, if the outlet is being supervised by one of the supervisors at the office, they might fill a form, again listing the items, together with the quantity, and there's 2 columns, one counted by the outlet, the other is for the store assistants (at office) to fill in, how many of the items are actually returned. Lets call this paper B.

Anyway, the store assistant that deals with returned goods is HIS wife. She has the nerve to complain to him about silly things (so that he would flame people for her), rather than talking to me, directly. So he spoked in an angry voice, "why no 'paper B'? if u get 'paper B' from supervisors u should give us. we have to write all over again referring to the GRN! blah blah blah (then comes the totally unnecessary shit.) what, u office ppl duno how2do work? dont want to do things isit? if u still duno hw2do this things, lets go to the BOSS office and talk". I wasn't the only one that gets the same shit from him, he likes to threaten (lets say, INVITE?) everyone to DISCUSS in the Boss' office, or the Finance Manager's. The girl that had worked there longer than me curses him each time.

Then, in the evening, its the "CONTAINER GOODS" story. The lorry with the container reached our place, the goods replenish the ones we are short on. Goods are unloaded at the back door, the container can't be brought there because there are cars parking nearby the alley, so it was parked at the larger road. So HE complained about why is the lorry parked outside and argued that it can get into the alley, my colleague said the driver already explained that he can't get into the alley and he CALLED the finance manager(was at lunch :/) to ask us to tell the driver to get into the alley. wtf. then he complained that someone said it was goods coming in, but it isnt, it is a container. Goods or container or SHIT, he'd have to receive it ANYWAY. Well anyway everyone ended up having to help unloading from the container and fill up the LIFT to go up to the 3rd floor (i'm SO beat). Before the day ended, he went BALLISTIC because we loaded a different item onto the lift (he's at 3rd floor), before finish loading the other item (we have probably only 6 different items with no less than 20 CTNS each). So my colleague said the goods in the container wasn't arranged, so they were separated and some was too deep into the container. So he went screaming at everyone at how confusing things were getting (yeah, with 6 different articles only), and how he had to arrange them at the store, and shit.

So, yeah, it was shit. Next time i'll post about his argument with the boss. xD

Reason behind habit

well, as u can see, i have a Plugoo box to the left of my blog entries, its connected directly to my MSN messenger, so feel free to leave a message. that is, if you don't want your comments to be known ...

Anyway, i resolved, that i was going to study (after reading another chapter of the manga) when i suddenly wanted to grab something to munch on ... so i went to the kitchen, scanned the fridge and my line of eyesight landed upon the pitted prunes (sunsweet). so i took it out, put it on a table near the basin. When i reached for the chopsticks, i looked up to the TV and saw Zhou Hua Jian/ Wakin/ Emil Chau. so i thought, wow cool i can listen to him sing! so i ate some of the prunes using the chopsticks because i don't want the sticky juice to stick on my fingers, and Emil Chau talked to the emcee the entire time. i was still standing behind the kitchen at that time, and the commercial came before he got to sing something (-_-)ll| ...

Well, my point is... the 4th prune was going into my mouth when suddenly i had a flashback of my mom asking me why do I eat like a maid. Meaning, i have this habit to eat behind the kitchen counter, away from the living room (actually more like, away from the view of the people sitting in the living room). Yeah, so at that time i suddenly realized why ... it was because my dad would always chase me away from the living room whenever i'm watching tv. so i was pretending to eat/drink behind the counter, hoping that my existence was not known there. so that i could watch more of the tv. here is an example of my living room/ kitchen space

Exam

Well, I'm having my STPM now. I just finished my 3rd last paper an hour ago. I don't know why, but exam seems exciting, my heart won't settle down the night before, and i'll stay awake for hours, ending up not getting enough sleep for the next day. its crazy. You'd think I'm getting married the next day or something.

and, shortly after finishing a test, the solution of a question would suddenly cross my mind. They have the WORST possible timing. "wow, you're so clever, you could do the question" (at last). yeah right, except it doesn't show on your results slip. I'm so frustrated i want to bite some ginger!

aww, and my biggest disappointment in Mathematics T paper 2, is that there was NO question on relative velocity! After cutting out Mechanics and Kinematics in the STPM syllabus, then take out Relative Velocity, there's none but little Physics element in the paper anymore! for me, that's like, you get all nervous and excited to get married the next day, then at the church, you get the wrong groom. Not getting the things you anticipated for, sucksss ....

Mukatsuku (irritated)

Its been 3 days since my mom went to China with her heng muis (siblings), together with my sister, who is the youngest of the bunch, and probably still wondering over her agreement to tag along those middle aged people. well, at least she don't need to spend ren min bis on food, since i have an aunt who frequent China, and seem to know all the lubangs for good food (plus, generous acquaintances).

Anyway, back to Malaysia, stuck as the only female at home, naturally i'm expected to cook for the remaining members of the family. i don't mind, as long as the ingredients i have are the ones i can identify. i don't know why, but i got super annoyed at the sight of the bunch of vegetables my dad just bought. to avoid taking out my frustration on the vege later, i'm writing to vent it all out. its not that i can't cook it, but the process of getting the vege ready to be cooked is tedious. its such a big bunch and without separating them, JAN! dad displayed them on the board and chopped them into half. I have no choice then... ;_; I'm looking forward to a husband whose career is in the cooking industry. preferably a chinese cuisine chef. well actually, as long as he can make edible stuff, i don't really mind. (though a pastry chef is good too!) xD

Before logging off, i'm going to add the lyrics to the song playing in my blog. Its "Te wo Tsunaide" by "Younha". People would usually recognize this korean singer from the anime, Bleach's closing theme "Houki Boushi" which is awesome as well. Originally she was more popular in Japan for her japanese songs, but i guess now shes pretty well known in the region. Anyway, take a look at the lyrics.

Te Wo Tsunaide

Younha

Romaji

Kutsu wo nugisute hadashi ni natta

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
Samishii toki wa sugu ai ni iku yakusoku suru yo
Can you hear my song
I sing for you every night?
Hitori ja nai tte koto

Anata e no omoi egaki kami hikouki tobasu
Tsuyoi kaze ga fuite nerai yori hazure
Ochite mienaku natta

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
Ima anata ni mukai tsutaeyou yuuki furishibotte
Baby I love you more every day and night
Kotae ga dou de are ima dekiru koto wo yarun da to

Looking into my eyes,

Looking into my eyes,

English

I took off my shoes so I was barefooted
And then I kicked at the waves
To keep them away from the sandcastles we’d built together
But the waves washed over them right away
And I finally realised how much I love you

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
The one sure thing is that my affection for you wouldn't change
Baby I love you more every day and night
When we’re holding hands it felt like we can go anywhere
I want to be the person holding your hand
Don’t you want me to? Please

The weather forecast says “It’ll be fine tomorrow”
If it rains I’ll tell you my feelings
But the weather forecast is right again
So my love stays hidden again today

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
I’ll come to you the minute you get lonely, I promise
Can you hear my song
I sing for you every night?
I'm telling you
You’re not alone

I draw my love for you on a paper plane and throw it
But a strong wind blows it off course
I can’t see where it landed
Nothing will happen if I don’t do something

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
Now I’m going to get up the courage to tell you to your face
Baby I love you more every day and night
Whatever the answer is, I’ll do what I can

Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
Just your being here makes me feel like I can be so much stronger
Looking into my eyes,
You will touch on my heart
When we’re holding hands it felt like we can go anywhere
I want to be the person holding your hand
Don’t you want me to? Answer me
