Aching feets!!!!

My feets are aching like mad!
And I mean like mad!
It's the worst that I've ever had! D=

Ok, I will write everything that happened today.
Maybe not everything, but like how my day there was like.

After punching the card and 'signing in', caiyan,shirlin and I went to have our attendance taken.
Guess what dept am I at?
Men's woven clothes.
But basically, the dept I was at handle men's formal wear, winterwear, lugguages and some of the sports stuff like Nike.
I thought that it was a little absurd to be in the men's dept since there are quite a few guys there, but it was quite alright actually, because there were quite alot of other female staffs there, so it isn't anythig weird.
At least I didn't get the one I drat, linguries(? Forgot the spelling)
Shirlin got that T.T

Went to our respective dept and was sort of given a tour of the dept I was in.
The senior sales associate who was bringig us around is very friendly!
I couldn't keep a smile of my face while listening to her.
She has a really really really pleasant face which makes one can't help but to smile to her.
My other new colleagues are yvonne and darren.
Yvonne is a pretty sweet girl and she looks a little like claire!
Haha, darren was a little harder to speak to.
Weiyeat joined us later because he was actually allocatedto the lugguage dept which was somehow with us too.
Met two other of our seniors who are jamie and euguene(they are sec4s too! Just that they started work about a month ago.)
I thought I would be dead or what, but my dept has really fun and nice people! :D

So I tried the cashiering job and there were 7customers receipt who has my name on it!!!:D
Haha. We were told to have our dinner break at about 4.50pm!
We only reached the dept at like 3.40pm, and so fast we are having our dinner break! LOL
Went for dinner with yvonne, weiyeat and darren.
I think it was easier to communicate with weiyeat then darren.
Maybe because we were at the same table when we had our training.
It was nice to know them and dinner was fine.
Had this really big plate of fried rice which only cost $3 and had a big prawn in it.
Not bad, still worth the money.
Finished dinner pretty quickly and only half an hour past.
So we slacked outside the shopping centre to make our break worth it, but in the end, we still went back when there was about 15mins left before our break end.

The till(cashier) was overcrowded. There was 6of us there when the only number needed actually is about 3-4.
The gift wrapping counter needed staffs and they cane to ask if any of us knows how to wrap.
Yvonne and I were chosen to go there ad I was pretty happy actually!
Haha, because I like the idea of wrapping up customers gift and them hand of back to them in it's pretty wrapper after seeing zhihui working at courts at the gift wrapping station.
Started wrapping though I didn't had training for wrapping gifts.
The others there were seriously trained to wrap gifts.
I was a little jammed at the beginning because the gifts were seriously of all weird shapes and I didn't know how much the wrapping paper needs to be cut, but I soon got the hang of it.
It was pretty nice in the beginning and I thought that I'm pretty lucky to be doing jobs that I wanted to do, which was the job at the till and gift wrap! :D
But that's also when the nightmare starts.
People queuing for their items to be turned into gifts were neverending!
Even when you're done with one customer and attending to the next, the queue never seem to be ending!
Instead, it grew more and more!
An those trained to wrap started to go off, leaving at a point in time when there were only 3 of us non-trained people to wrap.
But hey, my wrapping isn't that bad either ok! Haha:P
I wrapped gifts non-stopped from 6pm-10pm!
And I seriously meant non-stop!
Most customers has like at least 5gifts to be wrapped and it comes in all shapes and sizes.
I was even given the challenged to wrap pillows up-.-
Thankfully, I was able to wrap it up, not perfectly, but at least, presentable.
Met alot of different kinds of people, nice ones mostly.
And after all the wrappings, now...I'm SCARED of wrapping ok!
I seriously think zhihui was very lucky to get themat gift wrap job at courts.

My feets also hurt terribly becuase of my court shoes.
Wore my sis one at the beginnig because the heels were lower.
But once out of my house, the shoes were really coming off.
It sort of came off already lah.
So i changed to mine whch were higher.
Saw others wearing sneakers, so I'm gonna change to sneakers too!
wanted to get sneakers at the beginnig but they said it wasn't allowed, but side oters are wearig it, I don't see why I can't.

On the bus home, I took off my shoes and sat barefooted.
LOL, I know it's unglam, but my feets were really sore.
Now I know why people does that. Too sore for you to care anything.
Walked home barefooted because I can't bare the heels anymore.
And seriously, I felt like a babarian-.-
But it was already 12.10am when I was walking home.
So I didn't really care.

So my day somewhat ended like this.
Gotta go sleep now because I'm having the 10am-6pm shift tomorrow(Friday), Saturday and Sunday.
Anyone wanna visit me for lunch????
Haha, because I will be all alone.
Caiyan and shirlin are given the afternoon shift and yvonne and darren are in the afternoon shift.
Hais, what to do. Accept fate.
Haha

Ok ok, bye!
My feets are aching like mad!!!!!!
I took 40mins to type this whole post with my itouch.
Now I have lesser time to sleep-.-
