So apparently, this teaches us one thing; Either u remove ur specs before u jump into swimming pool or u hang onto them tight. But if u have specs like mine, who will still swim back to its owner, then u got nth to fear, juz do wat u wan:D
Sunday
Went to grandma's hse to celebrate early reunion dinner. Due to the fact tt my lao pa died recently, we can't celebrate cny with relatives for next 3 months. Thus, bo bian.
Grandma was ok when we went there, acting normal and rarely talked abt dad at all. At least not in front of me, tt is. After which she gave us early hongbaos, since we not going to her hse on CNY. I only planning to open it after CNY, so it's still with me, safe and unopen.
Turns out, grandma told my uncles and aunties abt this early reunion dinner, so 2 of 'em came, and after dinner, played mahjong for a while before we headed home. Man, i still have the skill sia, still gd enough to thrash ppl. Mahjong requires skill to read ur opponents' mind, but since they(my sisters) dun have a mind, it's easy to thrash 'em, without using the skill at all.:D
Came home, couldn't slp at all, and to tink i got work the next day sia. It was until 2 am when i finally fell asleep.
Monday
Woke up right on time to take bus to Panasonic Factory Solutions. I tink i'm gonna lodge a complain to SBS abt bus service 182. This is the first time i'm taking tt bus to the factory. The worse thing abt it is tt there was lots of ppl, so i couldn't sit down. To top tt off, I'M A TALL GUY, DAMN IT. THEY MAKE THEIR WINDOWS SO FREAKING LOW, HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO NOE WHERE I AM?
In the end, i ended up mistaking a factory for the 2nd Link, so i was like panicking, shit, y am i here? y the ppl not getting off? they all going to 2nd link izzit?
Thank my o'dad a person pressed dingdong at the BD factory, which is juz beside Panasonic. Once i saw the BD factory, i immediately got off the bus without hesitation, afterwhich i cursed and swear SBS on y they dun give bus 182 a double decker bus(Normally i can find my way from a higher angle, call it tall ppl habits)
Went in the factory, went to find Sharine, the HR personnel, whereby she took me to a place to collect uniform and boots. Then she started to explain abt things, how they work here, before taking me to my supervisior. Suey suey ah, supervisior not here, so i ended up helping another PT worker in the warehouse. Apparently, there are 4 more PT other than him working in the factory. Best part(for me) is tt they were recommended by Recruit Express, and they got paid $5.50 an hr, whereas i got paid $7 per hr:D Ya should have seen the shocked faces they wore after knowing the truth.
Panasonic is rly damn rich la. They spend a lot on wellfare for workers. Some of these include:
Wat's so interesting is how u enter the warehouse. In order to get in, u still have to key in the PIN no. and put ur hand there for them to scan. Then, they'll let u in. But if ur hand ain't the correct one, no matter how many times u try, it ain't gonna open.
5S of Panasonic:
Above are the cleaning rules for panasonic, all in japanese. First one to translate all 5 correctly wins a free meal from me:D
While working, i finally realised the truth behind the existance of humans. And at long last, i came up, with the truth sentence, tt even Confucious couldn't tink of.
Working makes one realise the importance of slacking. Slacking makes one realise the importance of slacking MORE.
I can't believe i actually found this out after living 18 yrs. Wtf, wat have i been doing with my life all these while? From now on, i shall live life, as the meaning of this sentence:D
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Wanted to work OT, but damn it, cuz it's my first wk here and they wan me to get used to things around here. Therefore, end up, dismissed at 5.30pm. According to my calculations, if i work OT everyday till 10PM, and i work saturdays and sundays as well, i will be earning almost 2.5k per month liao. I'm sure u wanna ask, how is this possible? Well, i shall gladly explain it to u.
OT rates are 1.5 times the normal salary. Plus, i can work OT until 10pm, or even 12 am if i wanted to. Seems like they rly in need of help to let the part timers earn sia. Thus, if i work till 10am, each day, the amt i earn will be $109. Not including weekends, we juz times it by 20, giving us a sweet amt of $2180. Now, we add in the normal 8 hrs of work on saturdays, making it $2180+$(84x4)=$2516. Best part is, if u work OT beyond 9pm, they'll give u a taxi voucher and allow u to take a cab home, This, is wat i call 'SHUANG DAI LE'. Other than being time consuming, it's the best job i've ever grabbed so far. Since i got free time before sch starts, might as well make use of this great chance to make as much money as possible. This way, guarantee won't go broke in sch, not like some fat pig i noe(No offense, mate:D)
So, slogged here and there, worked here and there, but somehow feeling kinda glad, dunno y leh. Somehow, after these long holidays, working seems to give me a sense of satisfaction. Maybe, i should add in another sentence for the essence of my life.
Working makes one realise the importance of slacking. Slacking makes one realise the importance of slacking more. Slacking more makes one realise the importance of working.
Too bad the supervisor went for one FULL DAY meeting today, he wasn't even back when i knocked off work, so i took regular 15min breaks for every hr. Best part was tt i can go slp in warehouse 2 for a while(I work in warehouse 1) before coming back without anyone questioning me. As a matter of fact, i caught this uncle slping in warehouse 2 while i sneaked in to slack for a while.
I wonder how Panasonic can survive for so long, with workers like us?
So, plans for tml were to go IJC a while have lunch with classmates, stick around a bit to see wat's going on. Sad thing was, me mum told me last minute i had to go to pray for my lao pa, so i should be heading to sch at around 9+ ba. Hopefully the sch security guards won't see me. I dun wanna see the principal for 'gatecrashing' into her kingdom sia.
