TODAY WAS MY LAST DAY OF WORK.But before I dive into the details, both good and bad, I thought I really should share some photos taken during my working period.
1) Alger and his super long penknife cut.
WHAT THE JELLYBEANS RIGHT.
I bet April's going "EEE. WTH."
While Tun Li goes "OMG."
2) Minitoons' censorship.
(:Self explanatory.
3) Alger and his "onion rings are like lips" theory.
We applied lipstick on it.LOL.
Then I dumped mine, actually his, on his tray and made him eat it.

Back to the topic of my last day of work.
It started of pretty well..
Then it turned nasty when a customer scolded me for the "stupid policy" of only wrapping items above $20.
After that, another customer asked to leave his items at the counter for me to wrap while he and his wife headed for lunch.
I decided since he was leaving it there, and the toys and bottle of perfume he bought were hard to wrap, I would wrap it all for him, even the ones below $20.
Then he returned a few minutes later with 2 pairs of socks, asking me wrap it. I didn't recognise him, so I told him about the policy.
He started scolding me about how I'm being unreasonable.
So I decided to wrap the extra items for him.
Guess what. When he came to collect his items, I genuinely forgot to put the bottle of perfume in the big bag.
Until Irene found it later on, did I realise I forgot to put it in.
Next I got a customer whose daughter kept rolling her eyes at me while I wrapped the shirts and perfume her mother bought.
Now really, there are better ways of exercising your eyeballs, aren't there..
Then! To top it all off!
Jon. John. How ever way you spell that fella's name.
Decided he didn't have the heart to stay a little longer to help clear stock, thus affecting Alger, 'causing Alger to stay back 1 and a half hours.
1) Jon was hired to do this kind of things.
2) Jon is 23 years old.
What? 23 years of existence and not so much as an ounce of responsibility to your department?
3) Jon gave retarded excuses such as he had to meet his parents and cannot meet them at a later time.
You're 23. Your parents don't understand the conditions of the working environment?
Mine already can. Yours cannot?
That.
Is.
Interesting.
4) Jon called Alger some weird name, which my brain deems unimportant, thus I don't remember it.
He has been working with us for, I don't know, 2 days? 4 days? A FEW DAYS.
Don't act chummy, please.
5) I am going to give Jon a piece of my mind.
Of course it wasn't all bad.
One customer heard me telling Alger that I'm hungry and could faint any moment.
She offered me the bun she was munching on! Hahahah!
"Here! Have a bite!" Hahahhahaha.
Then the Eurasian lady standing next to her told me, "If you're really desperate for food, Burger King's right outside. It's filling!"
Then Hui Fang told me I could go to the pantry to eat. I replied saying the pantry only has biscuits.
So the lady went "Oh those are all empty carbs! You need energy! Protein!! Not empty carbs!"
Alger butt in with his F&N knowledge telling me about empty carbs. Hahaha.
SHOW OFF.
There was a Eurasian father and son as well.
He asked Alger if he could wrap up his son and send him home. Hahaha.
When his son walked pass, he looked at Alger desperately and went, "Will you do it? Please?"
Turned back to his son and went "Well go on, get on the table!!"
HAHAH.

Anyway, Calvin, Iris and Tak Yan visited me today!
Knocked off early in order to claim all my over time hours.
So while waiting for Alger to knock off, I headed to dinner with the 3.
They ate, I didn't.
The Burger King lunch was exceedingly filling.
Furthermore I had it at 2pm.
Dinner at 6.30pm... I'd rather not.
(SIDE TRACK: TUN LI AND I ARE SUDDENLY LISTENING TO THE SAME SONG. SO COINCIDENTAL!)
Okay.
So.
After that we went to Taka, took photos, chatted, laughed, walked around.
And look what Calvin and I found!
NOW REALLY...
Clothing.
Magazines.
Stickers.
Books.
NOW SHAMPOO?
AND PERFUME?
Aw come on.
*faints*
Oh yes! I've found a lion toy!
LIONS ARE FABULOUS.After that, Alger managed to knock off 30mins earlier than his 1.5hours of "later".
So we met up and headed home.
He and his DICKIES bag.
HAHAHA.
I'm telling you, my week is going to be packed!
Tomorrow probably heading off with Alger to shop for Christmas present.
Thursday, Christmas celebration with my family.
Friday, Indulgz with close friends...
Or maybe not.
See, my grandma's ill and has been asking to see me and my brother for months now.
But due to O levels, then work... I've had barely enough time to even tidy up my room.
Friday may be the day my mum wants us to go visit her.
Sorry my dear friends.
BUT YES, I'm staying overnight for the 4/7 chalet!
Last year I didn't stay overnight.
And I shall make it up to you by staying overnight this time!
Hahah!
And bringing you all to Changi Village to makan in the morning! Hahaha!
