This week, I have been checking the building plans because the scanning machine somehow was not working properly and I have finished all the things that I was needed to do. So I went upstairs to check the plans while one of my China colleagues, Sun Jian, printed the plans out. There were many sheets of the building plans and I had to check one sheet by one sheet to make sure that the drawings were correct and they had to be clear. It was quite an easy job and need to be very careful…if not, I will be getting a scold. Nowadays, I am getting along with my colleagues and we will be joking with each other and chat. I feel that I am happy to be in the company though sometimes, I will still feel a little isolated as I like to be alone. Also, yesterday, I was chatting with Uncle Ong during lunch. I then found out that my boss started the company about 20 years ago and he had been doing all the tasks alone over the years. Until 2 years ago, then he started to earn money and started to employ workers. Wow…I thought that the uncle and aunties had been working for over 10 years. It seemed that I was wrong. Also, I had received my third salary. At first, I thought that this month’s salary would be quite a lot because I worked OT. But it seemed that the salary was only a little more than previous month. But never mind, I will still trying my best to learn as much things as possible. |

Last Saturday, after I came back from my work, I went to the furniture shop near NTUC to meet my parents. It was because I have promised my mother that I would fork out my money to buy a new sofa earlier on. Also, my mother and I already agreed to buy the sofa in IKEA, in which I think that one was nicer. But my father did not want to go IKEA so eventually; we picked a sofa which I think it was a little too big that it hardly can match our 3-room flat. What to do…already bought already and I kept complaining that the sofa was not suitable and kept asking her to change. And also I had wanted to buy the sofa after my mother’s relatives went back to Brunei because they would be coming to Singapore on next Tuesday. All together, there were 9 relatives who would be staying at our house for whole one week. Guessed that it would be so squeezy!!! The sofa would be delivered on next Tuesday. After that, I went to play Chinese chess with my cousin. Also, I have not been going out for one whole month le. Everyday…work…work…work and on Sunday, stay at home resting. What a boring life I had led…Haix…don’t know ask who to go out. So lonely and boring… I guessed that I am destined to be a loner for the whole life! |

Argh…I was so tired for the past few days. It was because from this Tuesday onwards, I would need to do overtime for the working days. Not only that, I need to work on Saturday also…so sad…there goes one of my weekends. On Monday, Serene asked me if I want to work OT and also come back on weekends to work. So I said yes but I only agreed to work one more hour than usual normal hours for every day. It would be impossible for me to work any longer than 1 hour because I am the most enthusiastic tv audience. And on Saturday, I only agreed to work 6 hours. Initially, I did not like the idea of working in Saturday because I want to rest. But for the sake of the money, I reluctantly agreed to it. I later heard from the boss's son that the company was actually getting many projects to do and they have no enough manpower, that why, they asked me to do overtime. On Tuesday, the boss’s son drove me to the Net trust company to register something. He accompanied me to go up to the company and told me to get the things done by myself. I was quite scared initially, but at least I got the things done. Then the person there gave me a disc and thumb drive. When I gave them to Serene, she asked me what the items for and I could only say “I don’t know” to her. I don’t know why I am always could not get the things right and I always feel so blur and lost that I tend to forget to ask what the items for. Next time, I must really be calm and must ask the person. And this week, Aunt Dolly continued to teach me many things and she was starting to let me to do the things by myself. I have never imagined that her work was so much but to be honest, they are so easy once you start to get the hang of it. I guessed that I am in a situation where one person does about 2 to 3 person’s job. I have so many places to go, many work to do and of course I have less time for my family. Although I am still unclear about some of the tasks like what paper put where or don’t know where the folder is, I find that I really learnt so many things. And I think this will be helpful to my work or business (if I have). Ok…I need to sleep le…cos tmr I still need to get up to work…haix. |

Wow…this week has really been a mentally tired for me because I will be taking over Aunt Dolly’s duties next month. As she would be leaving, so Aunt Dolly needs to teach me all the things within the remaining week. At first, I was quite shocked when the boss’s daughter told me the news on Wednesday and I was told not to leak out the news to others yet. So these few days, Aunt Dolly taught me on how to do different calculations for different newspapers like English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. To be exact, it covers all Singapore newspapers. Of course, I am still unsure of the calculations now. After that, she taught me where to take the newspapers, prepare different types of labels and to take note of things like public holiday or weekend. Most importantly, I need to coordinate all my colleagues’ work which is quite stressful. Then also, she taught me on the BCA like J series and SC series. And next, it is the scanning the images of KK’s hospital like what I normally do for my work. Between, the boss’s daughter asked me to check the images for the BCA. Not to forget, I was to go down to BCA to transfer images to hard disk every week. And also, do my favourite accounting. All these work has made me feel so wore out and stressed and I guessed that I must try to learn finish all the things before Aunt is leaving. I wish that the one who is taking over her duties is not me. Haha…don’t know if this was called promoting or not. Most important…if my salary would be increased. |

For this week, my ah ma’s condition were sometimes good and sometimes bad. When I went to hospital, my grandma ate a little bit and after that, she kept sleeping on the bed, not wanting to talk with us. Sometimes, she looked a little blur, kept mumbling to us which we did not know what she was talking. At that time, she seemed ok to me but Jovin told me that ah ma seemed a little bit weird. And she was worried about her and she had a hunch that something was not right. But I did not believe her so I did not really put her words in my heart. Then on Thursday, something bad really happened. When I came home from work, my dad told me that my grandma nearly cannot survive in the morning. My ah ma’s hands and legs were so cold at that time. And when people called, she did not respond. But after the doctor’s rescue, my grandma’s life was saved. When I heard it, I was so shocked. I was really regretful not to believe what Jovin has told me and felt guilty not to visit her everyday. I always try to find excuses for not going to visit ah ma. Then yesterday, I went to visit ah ma and Jovin was feeding her with porridge. She looked ok but a little bit blur, always asking weird questions. After a while, she continued to sleep and so my family and my uncle’s family were chatting. As for today, she was still the same as yesterday. She asked weird questions that we also did not know how to answer her. Hope that ah ma will be fine and get out of hospital cos I think that she was in hospital for about 1 month le. |

This week has been exciting week for me, especially in my work. It was because I finally can touch on other tasks rather than those “irritating” newspaper. At the same time, my workload is getting heavier. But I am sure that I was more than happy than getting upset. On Tuesday, my boss and his son took me to URA which is located at Tanjong Pagar. I was expected to go there twice a week to transfer those data to the hard disk in the morning. After that, I will go to work and take the data to my boss’s son. Then on Wednesday, the lady boss asked me to go over to the other side of the factory. She told me that I will be learning to key in the invoices into the computer. And one lady (I believe she is a staff there, because I never see her before) taught me how to use the accounting software. I was excited as this was the thing that I always wanted to do since young…only that I could not get into the accountancy course last time because I accidentally study the wrong subject which pulled my O’ level grade and the subject was accounting. She only taught me half an hour only and I finished learning because I think it is too easy for me. Then yesterday, I was asked to key in all the company’s invoices. At first, I made a lot of mistakes and I have been asking the lady boss questions. But after quite a while, I became used to it and felt happier as I was keying in the invoices…haha…I must be siao le. But today, I finished keying in the invoices quite fast and went back to do the same old jobs. |

Yesterday, my mother, brother and I went together with my cousin’s family to hospital. My ah ma was still the same. After staying there for quite a while, all of us went to Queensway shopping centre except Jovin, who wanted to accompany my grandma a little while more. My cousin, Roy, wanted to buy new clothes so we recommended him the shop we used to go. After buying clothes for him, I went to buy a pair of slipper and a pair of working shoes. Although I was quite heartbroken (my this month’s expenses have gone half already), I was quite happy to buy the stuff. After that, we waited for Jovin to come before we went home. After that, as usual, I went to play with my cousin. As for today, my mother and I went to hospital. My mother had wanted to go with my cousin’s family, but somehow they forgot to call us. So we kept waiting for them before we decided to go to the hospital by ourselves. Today, ah ma was quite ok, started to eat a few mouthful spoon of porridge and vomited little phlegm. After a while, my cousin’s family went to the grandma’s house and so my mother and I stayed back to look after my grandma. Then my grandma was sleeping and we were so bored and started to sleep also. After staying for two hours, we went back, leaving my grandma alone. Also, just now, my wushu friend, Marilyn, smsed me that there will be a wushu chalet at the end of this Nov. I am still thinking whether to go or not because I feel very strange and scared as I have not met up with my wushu friends (except Ying Qing, Ah Yong and some juniors) since I graduated from poly.
Wao! the bird is so big... |

This week is a horrible and mentally tired for me. It was because I was sick…coughing and sneezing a lot…almost used up more than a roll of toilet paper…my nose became red. Some more, I still need to go to work because I did not want to take leave…actually I seriously do not know whether there was any medical leave to be taken…haha. I also do not like to take medicine if I were to go to work or outside because whenever I take the medicine, perhaps the effects are too strong for me that I do not have strength to do things and my hands will shake more often. I seriously do not like the sick side of me and that makes me feel even more scared of getting sick in the future…think it would be even worse than now when my parents would not be around and I need to take care of myself. On Monday, it was Deepavali’s day so I did not need to work and at the same time, I can rest. I watched the Jap movie “10 promises to the dog” with my brother and my mother at home (actually my brother watched it before and my mother occasionally watched a bit only.) The movie was quite touching and meaningful because before the mother was going to die, she told her daughter to fulfill the 10 promises to the dog no matter what happens. But as the girl grew up, she began to drift apart from the dog and ignored the dog. In the end, when the dog was going to die, the girl started to realize that it was too late and regret that she did not fulfill the promises and so the dog died in the end. As for my ah ma, I have not really gone to see her for 4 days because I simply had not the mood to see her because I was sick…do not know if this is consider unfilial or not. I heard from Jovin that she was still the same…not really eating much and keep vomiting saliva. I think it is her physiological problem bah because she kept thinking of vomiting whenever she sees food or drinks. And yesterday, it was even worse. I met my uncle in the mrt station and we went to the hospital. When we reached there, my third uncle, aunt and Jovin were there. I did not really know what happened, just curious why so many were there suddenly and heard them keep persuading ah ma not to think negatively and quickly eat food so as to recover faster. Then later, Jovin asked me to go outside and tell me that just now, ah ma was actually trying to end her own life by biting her own tongue and there was blood flowing. Luckily, Jovin discovered and quickly stopped it and called my uncle and my aunt to go there. When I heard about it, I was so shocked. I guessed that she perhaps cannot endure the pain that she need to take, but most importantly, is that she was too lonely and she did not want to trouble us so she chose to take this path. So Jia you, ah ma!!! We always behind u and support u!!! After that, my third uncle, aunt and I went home. My uncle had wanted to drive us home but Yong Zhen gor gor told my aunt that he will be driving us home so we took his car home. As for my work, my boss and his family were back on Thursday. Argh!!! We were so relaxed for the past few days and now, we need to buck up…haha. They bought us some local food from Shen Zhen and a magnetic clip. I thought they were going to America only, but they also went to Shen Zhen. The food was quite yummmmy!!! |
