on wednesday night i sat at the benches in the playground near my place and watched a couple of kids play. oh how carefree and happy they were, and i wished with all my heart there and then that i was still a kid, where the only thing i had to worry about was probably not getting caught by the "catcher". or to be a baby again and whenever you cried you knew you could always count on someone to comfort you. i can't even remember when was the last time i was truely happy, probably at the S07 gathering on the 2nd. amos says stop pretending but i really don't know how to. i tried it doesn't work. and i'm getting really tired already.
it feels like just a friend.
why do i wanna quit? cos it's a super sucky job, sales. i'm working for this brand called kenzo which sells perfumes and skincare products. i guess cos it's a pretty unknown brand so we don't get many customers. so i just sit/stand at the counter stoning. the stupid things i do to keep myself from going out of my mind with boredom are reading secretly behind the counter, cleaning every single bottle/tub of perfume/skincare product, wiping all the shelves/tables, arranging the stuff on the shelves tables and in the cupboards, and packing and counting the samples. pathetic. this is how bored i am and how little people stop by our counter. i wouldn't have minded if people don't buy our product as long as they stop by and give me something to do like explain our products. argh. i wanted to quit on the second day of the job that's how bad it was. but cos i couldn't get another job and i felt bad for karen (who's in charge of doing up our schedules) for making her change the schedule again after i promised i could work till feb, i decided to stay till the end of jan. i thought of something new to do to pass time, i'm gonna paint my nails a different shade everytime i have to work.
yesterday wasn't as bad as the previous days cos after a few days you get to know the people working around you and they start talking to you. usually the girls i work with at kenzo aren't exactly very friendly but yesterday i met joanne and she's super friendly and i managed to pass the first 2 hours of my shift talking to her. she helped me apply make up too. usually i can't be bothered i just have lip gloss on. haha. then the last hour or so was spent talking to eunice who works at kanebo, the counter next to mine. she painted my nails and we started discussing girl names cos she's pregnant. haha.
so if you're (yes you whoever's reading my blog) in town, specifically at raffles city or paragon, do come by and say hi! these are the 2 places i'm most probably working at. i would super appreciate it. (:
so yup i have to look for another job. not gonna be ambitious this time, i just want a normal weekday 9-5 job. and i've decided to start work after chinese new year so if anyone knows of any vacancies or have any recommendations do let me know!
i think it's kinda weird how you get to know people sometimes. like james for instance. he's a friend of zhiyang who's in my first intake og. i first met him when i bumped into some of my first intake og people during O2 (orientation 2). and zhiyang being the irritating boy that he is was bullying me as usual and james just joined in. so that was how i got to know him, when he bullied me everytime he saw me in school. haha. and i'm always thinking to myself who is this guy, i hardly know him but he bullies me like i'm someone he's known all his life. but at the same time, it's kind of like a blessing in disguise, cos somehow he's always there when i needed spiritual assurance, like when i was confused or doubted God's word. so it's like an unexpected friendship and i thank God for james who put my mind and heart back on track just when i thought i was starting to stray. it really is amazing how God works and places people in our lives. thank God.
oh yes regina and derrick accepted Christ recently. oh gosh i was overjoyed when mel told me the good news. i have another brother and sister in Christ! (: really God works in wonderful ways and my God is mighty to save. i will not give up hope.
how great is our God
sing with me how great is our God
all will see how great, how great is our God (:
