I miss fishing at Pulau Ubin.

My whole body is aching. Pretty bad I can say. My thighs, arms, heels, everything! Anyway, working at Cotton On is so exciting! Well, exclude the tiredness of course. My first day of work (which was last Saturday), turned out well. I met the store manager for the first time. I started folding the ones that needed to be placed on the tables when I reached my workplace. I made so many new friends and they're so friendly, seriously. One of them is in Polytechnic while the rest are in Junior College. I've no idea what happened to the boy (he got the same workplace as me) whom I met during the interview. I know that he got hired, but I didn't see him around.

At first, things seemed so difficult and luckily, I only needed to fold the clothes. It was quite scary when the customers approached me asking me and that. Since I was new there, I didn't really know about the store. I wasn't really sure where were the leggings, denim jackets and etc being placed. Sometimes, I just pointed out anywhere. I worked until the store closed and went home with the other four new friends. I took the bus which was going back to my place and met love at the interchange. He was outside with his friends when he decided to send me home. Four hours shift isn't that bad.

On Tuesday, I had my very first eight hours shift. I left home as early as I could in the morning. I was dumb because I went to queue up at the line where the bus is going to certain places and it's specially for the workers (who work at some warehouse, factories or whatsoever) and the ITE students. I was concentrating on my handphone when I realized that the bus that I was supposed to board left. I was confused at that time because it was my first time experiencing that kind of situation where buses which has similar digits except that the other has an alphabet at the back and both of the bus services are being placed near to one another. That's the perfect reason why I got all mixed up.

After I realized that I missed the bus, I panicked. I was supposed to meet love before going to work, but since I was already in a rush, I had to go off first. I was going to be late and I didn't bring enough cash. I thought of taking a cab, but in the end, I told my manager about the situation and just took the bus instead. I was only seven minutes late. I made a new friend again on that day and I like her a lot because she's nice. I was glad to hear that she wants to continue studying once she stops working there. She's only nineteen. We were in the storeroom to open the new stocks which just arrived in the morning.

For that day, I had to do the fitting room for the first time. I swear I love doing the fitting room rather than doing the merchandise greeting at the front zone or perhaps going around to place the items at their places. Fitting room is the best! But, it can be so tiring as I've to do two things at a time. I've to hang the new stocks and then attend to the customers when they need to change. I'll have to remove the hangers for them, give them the number tag and guide them to the changing room. Afterwards, I've to hang the items which they don't want to purchase. No matter how tiring it can be, I love the fitting room still! Sometimes, the customers even asked for my opinions.

I had lunch at the hawker centre alone. I wonder where did my 'fear of crowded places' go. It was quite exciting to eat alone. I ordered a plate of black pepper chicken rice and a glass of sugar cane juice. My break lasted for an hour. I went back to my workplace and continue working during the last one hour. I then went to meet love at night and killed the time.

Today, the weather was wet. Love decided to send me to work since he finished school early. We took a bus there and got caught in the rain while we were on our way to the mall. It was pretty fun! Anyway, I made two new friends today. One is schooling in an Art school and the other, I'm not sure about him. We did talk when I was in-charge of the fitting room. Four hours only for today. After doing the fitting room, I had to do the front zone. I had to greet the customers and tell them what was on sale, etc. I wasn't good at that and I decided to do the fitting room again while my friend did the front zone. We took turns.

I guess this is enough about my work already. I'm so tired! I wonder when I'll get my pay! :D
