Life as a retail assistant

Hi guys!!! Hadn't really been updating because I was busy with work and guess what? I'm finally done with work yesterday! (which is 1 september) Hmm I was working at Singapore Expo as a retail assistant and basically what I do is fold men's formal shirts and arrange them lol. There's six wagons so there's me,Priya(my Australian but migrated to SG friend),Priya's friend WenXuan( future dentist lol) and Monica(my half korean friend).

I started work on Sunday and it was just so busy that I don't feel like working anymore but I still did persevere on though! Work is actually quite fun when we fool around and chit chat with each other. There's a lot of self proclaimed breaks and we go to the toilets frequently and walk around the Singapore Expo randomly sometimes.

I like it best when good music turns on and Monica and me would randomly do little dances and skips and sing along. It makes me delirious.

There was this day we found out our pay was actually $6 instead of $7 and it was really a moment of horror for all of us as it's super little,just enough to cover our transport and food and maybe we'll earn around $30 after deducting everything? We were so so so pissed off that day.

Singaporeans are really troublesome and rude. (not all but some) It secretly makes me want to stick a fork up their asses or pour some bird shit substance over their head. I don't think I'm suitable to be in the customer line. Definitely not patient enough. On the appearance I might be calm,but inside I was spouting so much vulgarities. Uncouth for a girl,I know. But I HAVE TO do that to dissipate all those bundle of anger in me.

Yes,there's nice customers who say thank you and stuff but there are really horrible ones too. Like there are some who talk to you in that tone of voice,'' I'M THE CUSTOMER IM THE BOSS YOU LOWLY SALESGIRL'' and there's also the type that asks a million questions before deciding to buy. Some will ask you the price even when it's stated clearly on the board but I understand lah because I do that sometimes to double confirm too. Also got those type that will ransack and ransack like it's their house and rip out all the plastics and make it look like a flea market. Gosh,get a grip and think of US! The poor people that has to clean up your shit.

So life was a routine. Waking up and taking a bus 969 to Tampiness Bus Interchange and then taking to MRT to the expo. Then countdown to when work will end as well as going for self proclaimed breaks and folding and buttoning clothes. And then I'll take the super long bus ride home from Changi Airport to Yishun before taking 804 home.

Those long bus rides sometimes make me very emotional. There are so much thoughts running from Changi Airport Terminal 3 all the way to Yishun Interchange. There are times I pondered over what do I really want from life and sometimes I get terrified thinking of work life. Sometimes I get this tired numb feeling whereby I'm too tired to feel anything and.. most of the times it's this hollow empty feeling of missing someone,a strong desire to go back to a time when I felt really loved and happy. There's a little voice telling you to come back,come back. If only time could turn around and I was mature enough to make the right choices. Each time I try to brush that feeling off,it becomes back faster,stronger to the extent I gave up fighting it and just let myself completely submerged in my own melancholy.

Hmm okay I shall include some pictures to make this blogpost less boring.


Just Monica and me on my first day of work.

Us pranking WenXuan by sticking the promoter stickers on his hoodie ad Monica's peace sign
 
Me promoting Morrocean Mint Tea Latte from coffee bean. All of you should try. It tastes like heaven to me.

HHHAHAHAHA Priya not giving a shit and me not giving a shit and taking a photo of Priya not giving a shit on our last day.
Just me with an adorable bag for kids. Does that make me adorable???

Good riddance to you,wagons of messy crumpled clothes. 
Bought all these during work. LOL talk about shopping during work. It's like $20 for all of these and they are all brand new!! I do believe they are worth more than $60 in total! I used to read a lot but then I stopped because I neither have the time or energy. Finished half of ''Thanks for the memories'' and it's pretty good!! 

 
 One of my favorite photos! Credits to WenXuan for helping us take this!

Anyway if you followed me on Twitter/Instagram, all this would be very familar to you! I'm just reposting everything and elaborating more. :) Do follow me on @xxzhilingxx if you want! 

Have a good September people!
