accidents diary 27may

on today's diary, i think i have quite a lot to write...

haha

cuz it's not just 1 accident, it's 3... haha daebak...

firstly, when serving my first customer of the day, trying to pack the popcorn for him, my left foot was hit by the metal box holding the popcorn scoop. lol i cried out pain on the spot...
it's freaking painful. my feet immediately went red. (the part that was hit... ) currently the spot is slightly bloated and a bit blue-black i think...

not sure if i should rub it. thinking of not rubbing it and see what will happen tmr....
actually my instant thought was did i break my bone? lol haha

second accident, when trying to take something, my left hand slightly touched the hot griller. hence got a burnt mark on my index finger (yup again on index finger...) i think my left hand is going to get a lot of wounds... :( ugly... have to apply cream before i sleep later...

third incident, got scalded again by the popcorn... this time the popcorn skin jumped out and landed on my left hand... lol... i think i really have to get used to the heat... haha

ok, so i'm now at home, using a face mask to comfort my torn soul... :P haha

nights~

accidents diary 26may

haha today, (or i mean ytd, 26may)

the oil from the popper scalded my left index finger. didnt see that coming...
but the oil suddenly 'jump' out of the kettle pot when i was pouring the ripen popcorn out...
shocked. was a big drop of oil. super pain.

really hope there wont be any scar...

so affected by today's events until i forgotten to get the cream for burns from the office... hais...
here, a place where people wont judge me... (cuz only nan and steffi will see this, haha i think)

a place where i can just rant without ppl judging (or actually i trust ppl who read this to not judge me too negatively...)

just felt that i needed a space to rant off my frustrations... 委屈 maybe... actually i also not very sure why i felt so hurt/ emotional today...

today at work... the 'result slip' shows that i have an extra $10 in my cash register. meaning either i gave the patron the wrong change, or i forgot to key in a sales transaction and collected money from it. either way, it's my fault.
but then again, i've always been very careful and when i up/down any money, i would have known (from the previous times where i collected less money or patron forgot to take the change... ) but today's error was seriously unexpected... i was damm shocked when i saw the figure. EXACTLY $10...

sidenote: i think manager wont want me to handle cash next wk le, given this ugly record... :/

when manager A asked me to recount the float, i was quite pissed cuz i'm 90% sure that my float amt was correct. it's like an insult to a math student to have done such simple sums wrong. moreover, i always count my money at least twice... also his tone was quite harsh also. 给我重算 was what he said.  lol seriously like a boss lor. i know you are the boss but then you can say it in a nicer tone right?!

and then i think you dislike me sia (refer tweet post), your attitude towards me is quite bad. i didnt take note of how you treat the rest but compared to the other managers, you seem to ignore me or give me weird response sometimes... just say of the things that happen today, asking me to recount my float, ok i accept it. it's the standard procedure when there's more or short of money.

in the morning, a patron handed a kiddie combo coupon to use, i saw the expiry date was 24april. obviously overdued. asked you abt it. 'this coupon is says valid till 24april but then patron say she just received it at the box office, how? box ppl give wrongly?' your response was '今天是几号?' I was like lol why you so random ask me this qn. your facial expression was like cant you see this is an overdued coupon, still need me to tell you what to do kind of thing.
super pissed. you are the manager. you are the one who is supposed to solve the problem since i've already told you the problem. and i'm told, dunno anything, ask manager, cannot quarrel with patron. then now you are like asking me a pri sch level qn? lol

ok fine. you took the coupon to ask the other manager abt it. then subsequently prob solved. new coupon not sent over yet so use old one.

next issue, today popping gourmet popcorn so the salted popcorn popper is used. then in front of my counter was a couple trying to decide what to order. i saw the oil in the popper is hot enough (cuz of the smoke coming out). you was just standing beside the popper, so i signaled/ asked you to help put the raw corn in. dunno if you didnt hear me or what cuz we clearly had eye contact. but then you pretended (from what i see) to not understand what i was saying and ignored me. you are free standing at the counter and you cant do such a simple thing? or is it cuz you are a manager so i cannot ask you to help me? lol
in the end i have to run to the popper to pour the raw corn myself before going back to my counter to ask the couple for their order.

all these may be misunderstanding i dont know. i just feel strange that he's like that...

also, another thing why i felt so affected today was cuz of what yiting said, 厉害hor,爬到我们头上来了hor... i'm just trying to express my dissatisfaction why i had to count the float again. groan a bit... apparently she felt that i was trying to be 没大没小 with the managers. ok fine, now i know where i stand. it's so disheartening that she thinks so bad of me. seriously felt like bursting out crying at that point of time. and again she told me i shouldnt have so much left over $2 notes, should have changed it with the other ppl. the truth is, i asked auntie mary if she needed $2 notes to change with me. she said she has a lot of it. then i commented i'm gonna get nagged by yiting again if she sees the pile of $2s. true enough...

(add-on: he asked me to count $50 worth of 10cents coins and pack them into packets of $10. and i did recounting for the $10 packets in case of any error. actually i told him that he just throw the whole packet of coins into the money exchange dispenser and the machine will just count out the amt i want. lol waste my energy when this job can just be done easily. the time used to count the coins was supposed to be my lunch time. and you just conveniently asked me to count the coins. lol count until my fingers black)

ok this post is damm long... just realise my recent posts are all very long... hais... may tmr be better... and i should seriously stop complaining / thinking about this.  sounded super 小心眼... (but I'M NOT!)
bottom line: know where you stand... 不要不自量力。

shall blog a bit before i sleep... haha...

today me rest day... haha slacked the whole day at home... haha snacking a lot... (that's quite bad actually... :p)

occasional breaks are good... haha gives you time to recharge and reflect...

this week of work allowed me to learn new things... haha and a lot of accidents in the candy bar too... :P haha that reminds me to write a diary of the accidents that happened on me... haha

haha shall do a summary on the things that happened so far... haha

hmmm... lets see...
ytd i got the nachos cheese into my eye when serving the customer as i put the ladle too hard into the container...
the day before i scald my right hand cuz the warmer temperature was too high. the plastic bag even melted inside the warmer. then when i was trying to take the cheesy hotdog out... hais...
then another day before i squatted down to take a screwdriver at the bottom of the popcorn popper, stood up too fast and hit my head on the popper door. then the hit was too hard that the door fell out... head damm pain... :'(
another day before i scald my left hand as my hand accidentally touched the griller when i was putting the meatballs to cook....

omg i'm super careless... :/ wasnt like this last time... but now... :/

maybe cuz of the trauma caused by my colleague... currently, the rumor now is someone wants to court me... lol this is damm weird. heard from the other colleagues that he always target the new girls that work here... it's like damm despo and scary lor... omg. that day he bought koi for me... like out of no reason... not only that, he still went to ask lowell stuff abt me on his first day of work... lol damm crazy... im not sure whats the situation like now, told my manager abt it. she says he should be controlling it already cuz a lot of the staff had been teasing him... i got lowell to help me if possible... and tried to avoid him... rejected his request to give phone no and fb name... hope he gets the hint and gives up...
quote from another colleague: its like little girl also want to target, so disgusting...
yup i think it's damm disgusting...

but then again, like what my manager says, it may be i misunderstood him. he's just trying to be funny but the other colleagues tried to spread rumors... so i shouldnt make it so awkward...
but on the other hand, if it's not partially true, why would his reputation be like that? lol hmmm...

ok enough talk... sleep time. tmr early shift... that lowell shiok lor, next wk work 2 days only... haha
i work 6 days sia... (cuz i requested to work more days... :P money...)

smiiles~

pikachu chalet!! :)

came back from pikachu chalet today! haha had quite a lot of fun with my og mates and seniors! :)

really long time since we had a gathering like this where i can see most of my og mates! :) :) really had a fun time, thanks to edmund for the preparation. he really put in a lot of effort in coordinating this... :')
touched...

sadly, i didnt go for the chalet on day 1, where they had a lot of htht sessions at night from what i heard from the rest. only managed to join them on day 2 where there's ktv and bbq... but still, enjoyed my time with them! :) <3 p="">
first was the ktv at 10dollar club. at first was quite shy to sing at the mic without the analog cuz i noe my singing's not very good from all the suaning from my bro at home... but yongsheng was very nice to keep trying to encourage me to sing with the mic and then try to turn off the analog multiple times, teasing me to make me feel more relaxed to singing in front of the rest... :P haha i hope i didnt spoil my image... :P haha if really got ppl think it's bad then i'll really feel quite sad...
it was a fun 4hr karaoke session from 3-7pm before going back to our apartment.

was drizzling then had to delay the bbq session. haha time for mahjong... :P haha not a very good player but then good thing didnt piss the other players off.. haha had great time joking around... first round of mahjong with jessica, kenneth and yiwei involved the treating of starbucks coffee from the person who 'fang pao'...  haha the bet was slightly big though... :P but it didnt last long as clearly jessica  had to pay for more cups of coffee cuz she just learnt mahjong ytd... :P haha

while some of them went downstairs to bbq the food, we continued with mahjong playing and paused a while when the food is ready. only managed to eat dinner at around 10pm... haha pro right? :p

after bbq, i went down to help out to clean the bbq area then was slight resting session. some small chit-chats here and there, some of the guys when to bathe cuz they were quite drenched from the bbq-ing under the rain... took some group photos before those who not staying over go back.... :) should be on fb after yongsheng upload the photos... :)

then it was cleaning up and then second round mahjong session. this time involve using playing chips and money. good thing it's 10cents 20cents bet... :p with yiwei, szewei and yongsheng... haha the guys are clearly more pro but haha still managed to win a bit. actually edmund helped me to play when i went to bath at around 4plus... haha yup 4plus am. that's how fast time flies...

5plus am and the 'seniors' yongsheng and yiwei couldnt take it and went to sleep. some of the others playing card games also went sleep. the last few survivors, me, daphne, edmund, szewei and leonard, decided to play asshole taidi... haha lol. lots of laughter in this... haha the laughter is loud until can disturb those sleeping in the rooms... haha...

played for a while till 6plus, my eyes couldn't take it. slept on the armchair. so in the end, me and szewei napping in the living room, leonard went to the room to sleep and edmund and daphne didnt sleep at all. daebak... haha

by 9 everyone had to be awake to pack up to check out at 10... haha nice try surviving the night ching... :P the group of 10 of us had breakfast at macs after checking out. chit-chat a bit and went home after that...

haha didnt realise it's such a long post. haha it's ok since i'm happy~ :) haha must record down this happy time... :)

love gatherings like this that make us closely knitted as an OG. glad that i met them to make my uni life more colorful... :)
