yesterday, i went down to bedok mrt to fill in the application form for some CD packer job... the person ask when i cld start work. and i said asap. that evening, at 5, she called and told me to get ready for the job, by gg down to AMK mrt, so that they cld fetch us to the workplace.
when i told my mum abt it, she was strongly against the idea. we had a huge arguement over it. she didn't wanna let me go, cos i didn't even noe the name of the company and she felt that the person in charge was irresponsible by not picking up the phone. -.- then i was telling, and crying, abt how everyone has gotten a job, and they all have some sort of employment history but i didn't have any. and i needed the cash to go Aus. at that point, my mum actually told me she'd pay for my trip, so that i dun have to go work. hai.. the last straw: she said i may sacrifice 12hrs for nothing, but i said it's worth a try, if i dun like den dun do. but wat if it's something tt i'm capable of doing? wouldn't i waste away the opportunity.. drama drama.
she did let me go in the end, though my dad and aunt were also saying dun go.
on the way, i pretty anxious. i'm afraid wat my mum said is true abt the company being a scam and then she wld say: i told u so. when the van arrived, there were like 10 other ppls who board it..
we reach the building at ard 8. then the 2 in-charge were juz busy with everything else and we the newcomers were juz stoning. finally at 8 plus9, we started work. motorola was our job. we were supposed to pack in the various components into the motorola box via the conveyor belt. there were 4 of such belts in that place.. besides that we had to fold the boxes into the shape...
what i was irritated, is that we the newcomers weren't given a proper briefing abt our job, salary, and days of work. i heard it's ard $68, for the night shift(which i'm doing) and we have to work like 6 days a week?! oh my god.
anyway, i survived. it was piece of cake, except we had to stand thruout. but there were a couple of breaks...
SO, thank goodness i went for the job. i can't wait to get paid..
oh btw, today is not only the first day of work for me, it's also the first time i slept on the train, AND MISSED MY STOP!!! oh my! i heard 'next stop, bouna vista' and then i was like, 'huh?!' LOL
i hope yh and wl cld join me at work... the frens i made were the other newcomers.. all malays, except for this other lady who prob went to do clerical work.. the ppls there were mostly teenagers... but i dun really see anyone that looked and act my age... hmm.. nvm.. i'm juz interested in the pay.
12 hrs aside for the work, i think i need another 1.5hrs each for gg and coming back.. which mean, i only have like 24-(12+3)= 9 hrs to myself... maybe 5-6hrs of slp and then stone for rest of the time...
the good thing abt working the nite shift besides that pay is that i dun have to wake up like at 5.30am to get ready. it's more likely that i'll oversleep in the morning than in the evening.
hope i'll be able to survive for like a month at least... but i'll need a new pair of jeans cos the one i'm wearing is gg to stink soon... eeks!
