I woke up from nap, removed my cover and treaded on. Seconds later i killed an enemy. More enemies came forth and i killed them. I climbed trees to have a better view of my direction. There was a variety of fruits from tree branches to eat. After hours of treading, my eyes grew heavy as fatigue took me. The moment i looked up, I saw a gun being pointed at me. I was in a shock. After i recovered a sec later, the gun was lowered and I realised it was my ally's Sergeant. I was losing focus and being tested.
To summarise today: TIRING
I was in the afternoon shift, and i served my first customer the moment i arrived. The crowd never seemed to stop coming. I had to climb the ladder to take some stocks (Oo... scary) and I was moving here and there serving customers to taking stocks. The crowd seemed to come all at one time. More stock arrived again... open, hang, open, hang. Oh the food court had variety of food..... ( ok it's like duh right?) Had Beef noodles... yummy. Oh oh... one 'fussy' customer,
'Hi, if i buy a gift for this person, and if that person doesn't like it, how can that person change it?' the Lady asked.
'If the person don't like the gift too bad la... it's a gift what...' i thought. Sounds bad but i couldn't reply... 'Er'
'Ok maybe i get the gift back from that person and come here to get a refund. Is that possible?' she asked.
'Yes you can but you must have the receipt with you.' I replied.
' Can i get the refund in cash?' -she
'Er... just a minute,' -me
I checked with the senior staff and He handled for me. Later that Lady came back, shook hands with Him and said that She was a director of the Children's department in Paragon, or was it Woodlands...? Some where la... Man... I was tested... didn't know how well i did... haiy... anyways, Sundays is where all the people come... ( like duh again) Too tired to carry on.....
Learning Points today:
1. Coloured price tags and what it stands for. Got yellow la, blue la... white.
2. How to handle goods return and goods exchange. They will receive a credit voucher upon refund.
I think i'm nearing the checkpoint (as in gettin use to it).

I missed the landing zone and landed near some forested area... it was pitch-dark when my feet touched the ground. When i packed my parachute, i heard a noise.
'Flash!' I said with much anxiety.
'Thunder!' came the straight reply.
I found a friend.
Together we headed with much curiosity, always on a look-out, to our checkpoint. The first light came through and i saw an enemy. I shot him. My first kill. Then I saw more enemies.... and started firing at them. My allies were suddenly there also and they helped me. Then the bombings started... it was very noisy.
The day started slow. I met a colleague, same age as me. This time Boredom came first... then Excitement as i served my first customer (my first kill), who actually purchased the item. Then around 11 plus the crowd came. Young couples with their strollers... mostly malay family as Hari Raya is approaching. Crying babies, screaming and whining children were my surround sound system besides the ever repeating background music (the bombings).
The most common words used today for me: Sorry, we don't have anymore size for this.
Had to tag 5 boxes of shoes.... and display a few of them... Tiredness took over me.
What I learn:
1. More about the products. Mostly infant... brands like Tollyjoy, Advent.
2. Where certain products can be found. Like the Disney section, Cerisi and all.
3. Shoe Model
And more to learn as i slowly tread through the forest in search for my checkpoint.

OoOoOoOo... What A Day!!
Excitement, Boredom, Tiredness, Confused? All these in One day... whew is the word. So i was posted to this section.... where everything were small.
First Task: Unpack the clothings and hang it up.
Not much trouble with that... and later got to know my colleagues.
First Encounter:
"Excuse me, is there a bigger size for this" the lady raised the dress at my face.
"Erm..." checking through the other same clothings. " just a minute..."
So obviously i dunno anything... so everytime i had to check back with the other staff. Before lunch was boring as there wasn't much people strolling to my section. After lunch was the tiring thing. The stock came in, and they were all infant shoes. So i guess you know which section i work already.... There were like at least 5 boxes of shoes man. Had to bundle the pair of shoes together with this 'taougay' (as they call it) and hang it up for display... i think we took like more than 2 hours or so to complete all the shoes. And they were the smallest shoes my eyes had set upon. Some puny shoes come with the 'squeak' sound in the sole, which i had never worn in my childhood... Then the Young and Not So Young staff started arguing which left me in a dilemma... who's orders should i follow? That left me Confused. But overall the job was quite fun...
Learning Point
1. How to past or rather kill time. Fold all the clothes that were left unfolded... pick up litters...
2. Ask the staff if you're confused...
3. How to serve your customers... with a smile, that's what they said...
More to Learn!

Had a Mac breakfast then went Sentosa with Sis, cousins and her bf. There I finally got to know how to play volley ball! Wanted for so long to learn that. Ok i have to admit that the girls there have good shape, i mean seriously in an artistic way, they have a good body shape. I call then Volley Girls...
So we played volley ball, kayak, played pool and cycled. Then my uncle and auntie came, had some muffins for lunch, played more volley ball and went for a swim, or rather floated on the water. Sentosa is a nice place, especially the beach. The bigger the group of friends going, the more fun there is. But going there too many times will be a bore...
Is it Christmas yet coz I'm a bit tanned and I just became a shiny version of Santa's little helper... Well, i'm almost a complete Beach Boy... just have to work a lot more ( and i think a lot more...) on my shape and be more tanned. Oh maybe i should get some sunglasses... pretty cool...
Then for dinner we ate at the Marina South's Steamboat.

Went for a movie with some church friends, Mart and Tomp (gal)... watched 'The Skeleton Key'.... (i think there is a The in front. Review below). Then went to the arcade and i saw two fools playing air hockey with their bare hands!! Bruises were all over their fingers and elbows... pity.... haha jk
Later went for a bbq... with Gan... walked like dunno how long... haiy... leg pain... then went to his house. Cool house man. played NBA on X-box... lost by a lot on the last game... haha
A few days ago movie: Longest Yard
Me Review: A game of rugby between the convicts and the guards. Adam was once a pro player... then he shaved off some points and got banned. Got drunk, crashed his gf's car (very nice), and got into jail. There the Warden wanted a rugby match. So Adam and another Star trained the convicts from amatuers to pros... Cool Movie!! At least 8 1/2 out of 10 for me.
Today's Movie: The Skeleton Key
Review: Wanna scare yourself a bit? Here's a show to watch. It's about a caretaker looking after an old, sick and dying man far away from the city... near swampy areas. The owner hands her a skeleton key which opens all the 30 rooms in the house! And the room in the attic was forbbiden. But curiosity got the better of her ( a very stubborn woman in this show) and she went to take a look. She slowly learnt the history of this house and about the old man. Hoodoo (check the dict) was involved. It's something like magic. And there was a line of red, brick powder at the front gate (you'll know what's that for if you watch it). Things got worse when she found out the truth behind this mystery of hoodoo. Oh there's a part where she get's naked... but back view only... hehe... and there's a twist at the ending. Awesome plot-Mart. 8 out of 10... Watch it!!

Movie: A Sound of Thunder
Review: A group of people travelling in time to play a 'game'. It's a 'travel agency' where clients can come to experience the time travel. An evolution occured when one of the client accidentally step off the track of the time travel and brought back something from that time. The time wave starts happening in the present time. Streets were filled with trees with thorny vines, killing people. Oh, and there were Apes... no wait... more like Baboons with a dinosaur tail. It's a dinosaur-baboon creature!! And there were big long eating 'eel'. The time wave sweep the whole city, (very nice, like a tsunami coming over the city) and they were in another period of time. Cool show!! 7 out 10!
Movie: Night Watch
Review: War broke out between the Warriors of Light and the Warriors of Darkness (the history of the formation is in the movie). They were of equal match, so they declare a truce. The Warriors of Light, who attempted to work within the boundaries of good, create the Night Watch, while the Warriors of Darkness, who openly embrace evil, staff the Day Watch. Each watch group comprises of "others", mortals with supernatural powers who are intoduced into the vampire circle as they are recruited. I didn't quite understand and fancy the show. 5 out 10...

Then they start to realise they were part of a food chain in the Cave. There are rock climbing, running, diving and fighting. A whole lot of action to keep you from your seats!! 7 out of 10?
