Since a long time i been here.... I guess i will do some update. =P

I have been busy for the past few months. Last sunday night was my first good night rest. I managed to sleep for 12 hours straight and got up ready to work next day. It was really refreshing, however my body got so relaxed that it was wobbly when i got up the next morning. Took a while to get used to it but managed to get up and had breakfast before rushing to work. It was a good rest but i don't think i would be doing it again anytime soon. =P

During these few months, a lot happen. First things was fixing the kitchen floor and replacing the cabinet in the house. It was a hard and draining work. Me and dad worked on it for almost a months on it. Two weeks waiting on the cabinet to be made in the factory and meanwhile chipping the floor away to replace a new one. Oh, we also replace the tile on the wall of the kitchen too. Oh man, You couldnt believe how bad the wall corrode away if you let water sink into the wall. It took a while to get it done but we should have finished it earlier. We had some trouble along the way while putting the tile on the floor. We stuff up while arranging the tile on the floor so we have to re do it once more. I couldn't believe my ear when my dad told me that we had to redo it again. Although it is not a good thing that happened but we had a laugh about it afterward. =P Good on ya dad!

During these few months, i did a lot of thinking about my study too. Although the agreement between me and my folks for letting me had a year off was to promise them that i will going back the following year. That was the plan but however, there was a job opportunities was offer to me. To cut it short, I am to go through 6 months of training of becoming a Fresh Department Manager. Once the training was done, if the position offered around the victoria. The Store manager will recommend me to the position. I spoke to my folks about it. We had few discussion about it and my folks leave the decision to me. I decided that i will go through with the training and at the same time doing my study. I will be doing it for the next three years. Hopefully i can go through with it to the end.

That's it for now. Will update more in my next update. Hopefully, i find the time for it.

I guess got to make a post one day or another. Lets make it now before i go to work. These few week has been very busy. New store manager coming which changed every single rule in the fresh and dairy department grrr. (Not all of them are new rule, mind you. It just that no one told me of these rule before. yeah, thanks boss!) So i got burst out for not knowing the rule. Sigh.... Coles, I hope i leave you soon but not now.

Other than that, i got a new Iphone few weeks ago. It is cool and a lot of function that i still need to explore to use its full capacity. One word of advice, unles these fuctions are very useful to you, dont even bother getting them. It is just an ipod with a phone and it cost several time more. Not that i regret getting them because i do need some of the function to get through my work and my life. =P

I guess this is it for now, till next

*TWITCH* NOT HAPPY TODAY. God, how bad can a person stuff up a department? I worked in the fresh department as Fresh 2IC today. GOD when i come in, I was shocked. Table full of dirt and watermelon stain, half of the pallet of load not done, scraps waste lying on the floor, back stock not in "best of date" order, knife is full of dirt. *TWITCH* Cool room, don't even want to go in there when i had my first peek at it. One line item in 5 different places and things are everywhere and not in order. Sigh, spend all my days tidying up the whole department. Gar get me fire up when people does that. I mean would you leave your kitchen untidy after used? No, you wouldn't. It is common sense to clean it up. At least, do your best in cleaning up. Due to this mess up today, i probably have to come in early today to get my order done. Didn't finished it today. Sigh...

Anyway, beside the chaos in my department, my store manager left today as it is his last day today. We have our farewell to him and some mud cake at the end. He is alright as a store manager but i find him a little too demanding. 7 months of working with him and overall, i enjoyed working with him. Wish him all the best!

I went to Uni to get my student card (my old one expired) + shopping with my mum for 5 hrs + sorting issue with two banks (need to inform them that I am still a student.) + Spend roughly 50 dollars on shopping for presents and other stuffs + got my concession public transport card.

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 14:53:50 GMT

Whew what a weekend, I am totally worn out. Thank god, i am not working tomorrow or tuesday. =P Okay Update.
Saturday, I went with Rebecca and Brooke to the city for DBSK fan meet. When we arrived, i couldnt believe 41 (or 39?) actually came to the fan meet even though Rebecca (the administrator) organised up to 45 on that day. Still it was quite a large crowd and i though to myself. This is going to be fun. We first wen to shop at the usual spot- ANIME SHOP and the japanese bookstore to look at few of the import magazine and anime. Me personally did not go to the shop because i knew the fact that if i ever go to any of these shop, i will buy something. (I am still recovering from the manifest shopping spree.) So i stick my eye on the movie that was played in front of the shop, "Red Cliff". "Red Cliff" is one of the most famous and largest war in Chinese history, The total amount of armies enlisted in this war is 120,000+. It involves most of the heroes of that period of time. It is a good movie, i think i will go and buy myself a copy next time i go to city.

After we shop around, we went to a Korean restaurant, Seoul. After everyone settle in up stair, i personally went to see and discuss with service lady on how we going to pay our bill. After all, settling bill for 41 can be quite challenging. It was a shock when they told me that they wont accept individual payment. I ball my eye out i mean what? They told me that we should have told them they we are paying seperately earlier so that they can prepare change for us. I try to reason with them and at the end, seeing they wont back down from it. Me and Rebecca had a little discussion and decided that we just have to group 41 people into 5 groups and get them to try to pay the amount as close as possible for their food. This is the only way to solve the problem. The lunch went alright and the competition held by Rebecca was a big success. I though seeing most of them are girls (87%), they would be shy and to my surprise,they are very out going and the competition was a lot of fun. After lunch, 1/3 of the group spilt away from us and 2/3 of us went to karoeke. This is my first time, i went to karoeke. It was a lot of fun and seeing most of the girls go up there and sing away while me, Dave and Dan sit at the back and sing along(even though we have no idea how to sing so we just hum away =P).

It was an exhausting day but we had a lot of fun. =)

Sunday, woke up at 9, realising that the Day light saving so i change my time to 10. Went to do a 30 minutes walk and manage to score up to 3 km distance. I was told that I need to increase my vitality so that i will be able to withstand the walk while exploring in China. So everyday, half an hour of walk for me and try to cover the distance within 2.6-3km. After all that, resting and play with my brother few games and then off to work. With work last night, (looking at the time 1.35am) i had few intersting encouter. I was told by my collegue that there were three kids WALKING ON THE ROOF OF THE SHOPPING CENTRE!!! I was like WHAT? I immediately went around and check the premises and couldn't see anyone. So i walk up to the plant room on second floor to check the actual roof just to make sure (it was the only path in the store that will allow me to access the roof). This is my first time up there too. I open the door and saw a huge flat roof top with steel path for you to walk. I walk and it was really scary seeing you get nothing to hold on to. If you trip.... Anyway, luckily the night isn't windy or rainny so while i curse the kids, i walk the whole roof and was relief to find no one up there. Imagine that, what if they were there. What are you going to do? After all only the steel path are safe to walk on to, others are not entirely safe. They entered the roof illegaly and just how am i going to get them to safety. Other than that, the night went normal.

Hoping to get a good night sleep tonight and start doing my exam revision. Man, there are so many thing to do. Cant wait to go to DE's house tomorrow. I got the BBQ pork ingredient and ready to whip it out for today. I hope you guys enjoy it. =)

I am alive! whew what a three days event! Manifest + work, man i though i am not going to survive through this. Now lets start on Friday, Friday, I went to get my ticket with De around 10.30. I learn my lesson from last year from waiting on the que up to 3 hours. We got there at around 12 and i got my ticket around 1pm. 1 hour of wait wasnt too bad even though Mat and Rebecca have to wait around 15 minutes to get their when they arrive at 4ich. Oh well, i have to make sure i got the ticket so i can enjoy my day at Saturday and Sunday. During the time while i wait for Matt and Rebecca, i went to help De with her volunteer work. It was fun working with her. Lot of laughter and met a lot of traders. Hope she feeling better after these three events. *I also got a volunteer badge*~he i got great plan for those. After meeting up with Matt and Rebecca, i lend her the tale of the great sea and we went back home together. Thanks Rebecca for taking me back home and to work. My folks are out that time so i am on time to work. Thanks!

Saturday,
I am feeling a little shaky but alright. Man working after friday event starts to affect me. Thinking of how am i going through with the next two day really bother me. Oh well, just heck it, i will survive. Oh my god, thank goodness that i got my ticket on Friday. The line was already que up when i arrived there at 8 ich with De. Went to help few things out at the traders and few personal stuff. Man this year the committee really done it. They seriously not organized. Traders coming late, form flying everywhere but it was alright and fun. The traders were late to open for at least half an hour. It didnt bother me since i have nowhere to go and plus there is the late scene from Matt, Rebecca, Brooke and Jess. Quite funny that i got these update saying they are late. Then there is the Matt scene but i wont go about saying what it is. Although, it was rough but it was fun. Unfortunately, apparently Dan was there from last Fan meet. He was a security guy that i found quite friendly with. I bought the shaman king v 14-17. Quite happy with myself because border never get all of them together. Save me the money on discount and plus the time to find them. I also went and bought De Birthday Present. Then back to work again. It was really killing, i went and have a nap in the office. Hoping no one call me on the PA. When i woke up and no one seems to be disturbed and no angry customers so i take everything is good when i take a nap. =P

Sunday,
Feeling better than yesterday. Got there and went around doing different event. Auction- i got few DVD. Books- Negima 17-19. Played chess- 1 win. Played GO lost 3. Went to watch the cosplay. IT IS DAMN FUNNY and it is pretty good compare to last manifest. It was pretty good. Went to work and manage to survive and finish all the job. When i got back home from work, GOD i am definitely going to take these four days (maybe amartha) off next year even if have to bite them. Overall, very exhausting but have tons of fun.

My brother got a PC game called Spore. At first, i though it is just a puppy sim game, then it surprise me. It isn't like what i though it is, it is more of a civilization sim. You start off with a cell and then gradually evolve into creature base on your upgrade. It just like taking the whole process of 5.6 billion year of evolution process into one game. Unfortunately, the two laptop and the home computer we had barely support it. T_T Still, my family thinks of buying a new computer when we come back from China. (I think we going for a mac.) Hopefully, i can play spore by then.

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:12:41 GMT

Sweet! My china trip has been approved. My Fan meet with Rebecca has been approved. PLUS The night with De's birthday has been approved too!! (even though i did a little lie like i am suppose to be with my classmate doing exam revision on those two days. Anyway moving along->) But unfortunately, i couldn't get the manifest three days off. It is too much to asked for especially with the AFL footy final on saturday. SO the only day that i can attend is on Sunday and i have to rush back to work at 7pm T_T Still, it is better than what i have bargained for. =) very happy

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 06:06:44 GMT

man what a week. Thursday, i handed in my step down form and would you believe it. My boss just turned red in the matter of second. I feel so sorry for him, he look so shocked and couldnt speak for a while. TAKE THAT!! I think the fact that he was so shocked because now two of his night manager just stepped down. there is only three manager at night. Service manager, Duty manager and nigh fill manager. Which means 66% of his nigh manager just quit. But hey if you got to go, you got to go.

There is another funny thing was that on the next day, he started to talk to me more and tried to crack a joke with me. A fine time to try to fix the bridge...

Now for the last update, I FINISHED MY LAST ASSIGNMENT. WEWEWE Now for the exam and a month after that CHINA TRIP!!! =)

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:40:47 GMT

I finished watching Berserk 1-25. Not a bad anime, but not that i would recommend for minor to watch. Still i love one of its ost called gatsu and also forces. It is very soothing music and strange, old. I cant describe it but it is good and i like it. You just have to get it yourself and find it out. (Beware, i have weird taste of music than most of my friend.) Then again you probably have to watch the anime with the music to actually find the meaning of this music.

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 00:44:14 GMT

hmmmm I got my first assignment back. 82.75 HD. Not really happy with the mark, i would have though that i would get at least 90 with the effort i put in... Anyway, a few thoughts coming by these few days. I am not sure whether i should continue doing my manager role at coles or not. Maybe i should step down and relief me from all these stress. I just felt it is not worthwhile anymore. I spoke to my folks about it and discuss it. It came to a conclusion, it might be a good idea to drop the manager role. Now i figure why a budddy in my workplace trying to discourage me in the first place. (he step down from the same position i am in). There will be some changes in my roster. I have to apologize in advance to all the invitations (Rebecca and De) because there will be some chances that i wont make it. I will do my best!

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 01:43:35 GMT

Finally, my relief days at Cranbourne are over. Not that it is not enjoyable but it has its good and bad. Last night was a blasting day. I had to start 2.50 and finishes at 12.35am. It is because of the stupid regional visit. One of the facer did not show up again. They keep saying i have the staff for the facing and guess what half of the crew went missing for these 4 days i am in. One of the went on school camp and the other are seriously ill. I mean hello?! Wouldn't be wise to get someone to refill their position instead of biting my head off the next day. I had to help with the Deli department because some idiot from management (again) left a just-recover-from-injury staff to close. I mean what the heck?! Are all managment from all coles numb nuts or what? Anway because fo these incident, i cant do my second mark down on bread. (De is going to kill me) and other stuff. But that the best i can do.

ahhh that feel good to write it down. Now, hopefully i have a good time at my own coles today hopefully (i wont count on it).

De- thanks for helping me in the morning. =)

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:57:05 GMT

I handed my leave form to my boss, i want to take the whole three days event of the manifest off work this year. Never really enjoy a full day on the manifest before so i would like have more fun this year. =P Counting today will be 23days in advance, hoepfully they wont be a jackass and tried to haggle me for it. I am ready to fight if they try to push their luck. Looking forward to manifest this year but sadly having boast about doing cosplay this year, i decided not to. (hopefully i wont get stone to death) =P

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 23:09:31 GMT

*Twitch, Twitch* Last night was a bumb and i am really annoyed. Last night is the only night where i dont have any responsibility of a manager. Just a plain old night fill worker. But no... no one tell me about me doing Duty manager last night. I just given the key and "You doing Duty manager tonight". Look, I dont mind doing Duty manager but at the least tell me about it. PLUS, last night the floor were getting polish. It would be nice to tell me that the "WHOLE" store is getting polish and advice me not to fill the ends with stock. But no... they didn't tell me about it and i filled it, creating double amount of work for me when i have to strip it down. Not only these, the most annoying thing was that everyone in the management knows about it for weeks and i am the only one in the dark. NOT HAPPY!!

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:49:32 GMT

This is my first post in 4 months. (Wonder how long is this going to last? ) Last night i went to work at cranbourne coles as a duty manager. Man the store is massive to play around with. Compare to my own store, it is 5 times bigger. Hopefully i did the standard requirment that is expected from me. FInger cross lol. Damn i was going to surprise DE and Rebecca with me working there. Rebecca was no fun because when i arrived there she was busy with the customer and end up her finding me first. Rats lol De wasn't working on the day that i was assingned.(thursday and friday for this two weeks.) Oh well, bad luck i guess. Hope she gets better.

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:50:46 GMT

Friday was really fun. it was my 20th birthday party and The guest of honored are Rebecca, Matt, De and Brooke. First of all, thanks for them for coming. They really make my day that day. I have been feeling a bit down since my fight with my crew and all sort of trouble from them. =P I hope my party wasnt a bore to them. The wonderful presents i got from them are, Volume 8,9 and a character guide for tsubasa chronicle, Tales of Enternal Sea, . hack// legend of the light and the clamp double feature on tsubasa reservoir chronicle and xxx holic, $20 to spent on the festival and a ticket to the animaniac. Thanks guys i really love the presents and thanks for coming guys . =)

Saturday, we went to animaniac as one of the gift from Rebecca and Matt. I went and bough all the volume that finishes my Eureka Seven series. To tell you the truth, i never though that i get around to finish that series. I also bough the anime called the origin the spirit of the past. I watched the preview of it on Friday in the anime called the tales of the eternal sea. After that we joined up with Rebecca fan meet. We went to few places and have lunch at a Japanese restaurant before heading home with Matt. The day was very exhausting but i have a lot of fun.

okay, what have i dont this time?

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 02:11:45 GMT

Yesterday went alright. nothing special except i am in the bad book in my Grocery manager again. It happened on Saturday night where i refused a truck of load coming in because of the curfew laid down by the council. 10.45pm is when the load came in and 10pm is the curfew limit for the truck. I dont blame him to be angry because 4 departments in the next morning have nothing to do. But my argument is that if i did take a load on 10.45pm then if any of the residents around my workplace complaint, the council will issue a nice juicy ticket fine of "$10,000" to me since i am the duty manager in charge of the whole store that night. Luckily for him to speak the issue to me in good manners or else i would just walk out on him or at the least argue with him.

$10,000 fine vs few workers wages(can be put into work in grocery department) + lost of sale for 5 hours unlikely to be high since the load is quite full in all department when i left the store the night before yesterday)

hmnmmmmmm I think i will take my ground and argue with my grocery manager. I don't mind accepting the load after 10 if they promise to paid the $10,000 fine coming in the next day. =P

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:52:45 GMT

I went to ACT yesterday with my brother and his girlfriend. Have to wake up at 4.30 to catch the flight at 6.30. At the beginning, i thought ACT been the Capital of Australia have at the least have something interesting or fun to do there. It came out such a disapointment. They have hardly anything there and their so called "largest shopping centre" was the size of a cranbourneshopping centre...maybe a little bigger. But nevertherless i bought four manga- Muhyo & Roji's bureau of supernatural investigation volume 1- 3. And kingdom heart II volume 1. These was cheaper than the one in melbourne and i dont think it is available in melbourne yet so it did lift out my spirit a bit. . (hey anyone who is going to ACT, i suggest you to book a car there. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO GET a TAXI... they rarely have buses and train or tram) Other than that we also went to the city of Canberra again it is nothing compare to sydney or melbourne but i came across a card shop so I bought a few cards for my little brother who is building his elves deck. I think it will help him at the least. Overall the trip was okay, thank god that i have my brother and his girlfriend with me or else i will be bore to death. we went back to Canberra airport at 8.45pm but it got delayed due to the storm in melbourne so we didnt get home until 12pm at midnight. I got few picture in my camera and i will upload it soon in the next few days.
Cheer

i am back!!

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 23:56:13 GMT

Yesterday, me and three of my colleague went to canoing out in the Franston beach. It was fun and the weather was just nice even though we thought it is going to rain after it rain in Cranbourne. But it is good, it was clear and the sea was calm, when we get there. It was hard at the beginning, almost tip my canoe over and drop into the water but I managed and didnt fall into the water during the trip =). We saw a seal that day as we rowed our way under the bridge!!! My first thought was a dog or something, my friend thought the bridge was about to collapsed. lol Anyway i took the picture of it after trying to get close to it and not get my phone wet. Even though the wave is calm but to maintain in one spot are hard and even when my friend trying to hold on to my canoe. Anyway, i got the picture and if i have time i will post it up on the net. Hopefully it allows me.

Today, i am going to clean up the house and play few games with my little brother and take a nap (still need to recover from yesterday). If i still have the energy left, i probably going to do a little bit on my assignment.
