been days since ive blogged. pangya no more free blue star orb ball already, i wanted to collect a hundred of them. today was the end of my first job, and was the collection of my first salary, how nice! though working for only three days, its quite an experience working as an assistant engineer. as everybody gotten their pay and quitted, left james one person doing, lucky for him i joined in to help (actually got one more guy, he did one day only and quitted. LOUZY). for the past three days, the two of us had to finish hundreds of printer keyboard. james was in charge of unscrewing the keyboard and replacing the chip inside, while i had to screw back, test the keyboard working condition and then change its two labels. one of the label which is the bar code thingy is so freaking hard to peel off okay! my fingers hurt. we always listen to the radio while doing, if not the room is very quiet. always listen to Yes933, sometimes Power98 and 98.7 and Class95. i seldom listen to radio especially to Yes933 and 98.7, happened that though the songs in Yes933 sometimes bore me, their love and life stories are so "its so true, it happens to me too". then james like to work in a 17degrees air con room, its so cold can. first day i somemore wore shorts to work, after that i smart already i wear jeans. he said freezing then wont sleep, true because we will be facing and doing the same procedures from 9am to 6pm, quite tiresome. first day i was immortal, i almost didnt sleep and i wasnt tired, maybe i was excited. then i kept wondering when will i reach the bus stop, i only visited there once and i was quite worried that i might forgotten where to alight. then finally reached simei where i found quite familiar, until it past the bus stop i saw it which is the most familiar.
the rabbit bush located in front of the entrance which im quite embarrassed to take a picture of, always got people around. i quickly pressed the bell and ran as i was late (1hour 15mins journey). lucky there wasnt anybody there to check, so james told and demostrated to me my task. and we did quite constantly, so quite fast. and he said i was smart, knowing how to counter problems not like the previous 20 year old plus guy who did for one day and gave up. lunch time was quite interesting, the manager will announce to us that its lunch time and we will go out and meet them. then they will discuss where to eat, after that everybody will drive their cars to that place. james and i and one guy usually take our manager's van, i so so long never sit on a car already. then on second day, because there were no suitable screwdrivers for unscrewing the chip, so will spoil alot of the screws then need replacements. james did report but nobody reacted, until the boss came in and pointed out that james was using the wrong screwdriver. james then explained to the boss, and the boss said he will get the suitable one for him. just after lunch, james had many choices of screwdrivers from many workers including the boss, thats how BIG and efficient the boss is. actually i cant recognise the boss very well, so i usually look at his feet, only he is special enough to wear sandals (should wear covered shoe). and today the third day which was the last, one of the guy named alfred who was in charge of a chip thingy project found out that randomly they were not clean. they were cleaned by the last batch who quitted already, and they were supposed to be shipped out by tomorrow. i felt very sorry, they couldnt find anybody to go back help out to clean. there were 30+ boxes and each box has 60 chips, imagine checking every 1800+ chips under a microscope and cleaning them. YOU WILL GO CRAZY moreover there is only one pathetic microscope. james and i helped doing 3 boxes, and thought of OT or helping more, but he said no money dont OT and we can manage 3 boxes already can "tou xiao le". anyway hope they got a way or another. working can be quite fun i guess, and sometimes boring and tiresome. but james and i also know how to relax and slack, we will drink tea and coffee (first time! somehow quite like it) and eat snacks which we bought, especially if nobody was around. and i turned silly.
i can be an angel finally, look at my halo! :)
so then, on sunday me, flora, gwyneth, ferline, weixiong, konghong and tuckyong went toa payoh kbox. everybody was late, then we were supposed to sing 2+pm to 6 or 7pm but they letted us until 9+pm, shiok! it was fun, we did mini concerts for the three guys (we named them HIM, after SHE). and we sang quite well i guess, tend to get excited when i can sing the songs im familiar with (im not a chinese song fan and i cant read well, you know you know). found out tuckyong has an unique high voice which he can do One Night in Beijing and Huo Yuan Jia de gu niang verses, hes good. then we did some crazy dancing, crazy singings and sang some au lang sigh. kind of funny, quite fun though. then today also supposed to have kbox session with zheqi, but too bad or too good i got work. quite broke to have so many kbox outings, two already kind of ached my heart. anyway i miss so many people, you know you know! when can we go out and meet again, im free already.
