It's been a long long time ever since my last post, jx, jj, tim are all waiting for my new post! haha.
After the long and stressful semester [ includes 12 projects and 1 exam paper], i am finally having my holidays.
Lets see what i have done so far in during my holidays..
1) Made a bet with Sue Ying to lose 5kg by the end of the holidays.
2) Found a job at Cathay Cineleisure [Orchard]
3) Worked for 3 days at Cathay Cineleisure [Orchard]
4) and QUITTED the job on the 4th day. [ZZZOMG WHY?!]
Reason being: I think that i could have found a better paying job and concentrate on what I can do, for eg. Teach music. and earn some bucks from this area.

During my 3 days of work at Cathay:
On the first day, me, jx, jj and jessica went for our training. There was this super duper long video on the various job scopes a customer service officer has to do and an overall view on how a cineplex works. We met this trainer, Andrew. The first thing i would like to comment is that, he is a very knowledgeable person with lots of experience. Whatever he says has a meaning behind it. For example, " When people are gossiping, do not try to join in the gossip and spread it around. But, you should just, sit back and enjoy the gossips, don't interfere."
After listening to such advice from an experienced person, i am starting to see issues and things from another perspective. And some how, i am able to see through people's characters too. My motto is, explore every possibility! who knows that smallest rock that has not been turned is the very truth and answer. Hm...some how, i feel like i am distancing myself from some people. I'm not sure if that is the way after sort of seeing through their motives? Or, is it just me?
Questions questions questions.... sigh. I guess i shall take each question one by a time.

Oh yeah. On the second day, there was nothing much to it other than just collecting money and printing out tickets for people at the Box Office.

On the third day, all of us were split into 3 groups with the other trainees. We started at 12pm. Firstly, i was deployed to the F&B section to work. I learnt how to make hotdogs, popcorn, fried chicken, potato wedges. Quite a lot of things to leanr there. Making the hotdogs was the hardest. The person in charge asked me to make 10 jumbo hotdogs at one go! gosh! Me and myself, making the hotdogs. My partner was inside the kitchen frying 64 pieces of chicken. i guess i can't complain. haha.
After which, it was around 3.20pm before my partner [Alvin] and i was sent up to the ushering point to do usher. ushering was fun too. it was one of the least taxing job.
by 5.45pm, i was asked to go for a break. mind you! i had nothing for breakfast and lunch! i was starving! i had subway for my breakfast,lunch and dinner combined into 1.
geee....

thats all for my job for the 3 days. right now, i am still awaiting application to teach music at primary schools. If all else fails, then i shall concentrate on losing weight through out the whole holidays and lose more than 5 kg! my aim is: WEAR SIZE 29 PANTS.

TOODLES!
