Just reached from chalet for class gathering @ Aranda Country Club

Day 1
I arrived at the chalet around 9pm plus from work. I took 12 all the way to Pasir Ris int & ate at white sands. When i arrived there, i was amazed by the place coz eveything is first class. Unfortunately, some area is undergoing refurbishments. The first thing that I do was watch movies & TV. I watch so many movies. I slept around 2.30am plus coz i was so tired from work.

Day 2
I woke up ard 7am. the malay boys went out to buy breakfast for us. As for me, I went out to explore the place. Then, I decided to go for a swim alone despite the weather. it was refreshing & peaceful coz not so many ppl. I only swim for a whie. Then, I also try sauna for 5 mins & then went back to the room. In the afternoon, i need to take BBQ stuffs at Kembangan. Then, me, Yad & fiq ate at MCD Bedok b4 heading back to Pasir Ris. Ard 6 plus, Mrs Leong arrived at the bus-stop. Then, i decided to fetch her from there. Immed, the BBQ was started. There were lotsa stuffs to eat. i ate alot & feeling so full coz I drank too much water. Then, we had celebration for Shi Min & Zhi Wen birthday. We had choco cake b4 me,Wenxu & Mrs Leong left the chalet at 8.30pm. At MRT, we 3 chat together b4 heading to different directions. I alight at clementi MRT to take 185. I arrived at home 2 hrs later, which is ard 10.30pm

I had so much fun at the chaket though i didnt manage to stay for full 3 days due to work. so sian sia... it has been 1 yr we have been together. Even if we go on our separate ways, We can still keep in touch right ? Despite ups & downs, I believe that we are still one united class, alright ? I shld stop here coz I'm working tmr. I will like to say thanks to the organiser for organsing this chale thingy. It's really appreciated !!! =D

I know i've not been updating for so long. Kinda busy & tired due to work.Many things have happened for the past 2 weeks...

Last saturday, I went for Sultan youth meeting. Only syafiee, sis faza & me as well as bro rizal attended. Rashid was sick on that day. We discuss about expo maulid, which will be held in 1 month time. In the end, we didnt have a meeting coz bro rizal last min asks us to do some docent training to NUS intl students. I did manage to talk to anothe grp of 4 tourists. I bring them ard the mosque & explain anything about islam. I felt satisfied coz I managed to mingle with them !!! After that, met sis faza at a coffee shop for lunch then we head to Natl lib to get some ideas on how to set up booth & displays for the expo maulid event. After that, went to Rashid's house to settle his internet stuffs as well as computed related infos. Finally, I managed to install messenger to his com & finally managed to chat with him via MSN.

Last Sunday, me & my family went to my mum's workplace family day @ sentosa. They have game stalls, exciting telematch & so on. I didn't participate though coz the games are meant for the kids. I didnt went for swim too coz nobody want to accompany me. At the end of the day, there's lucky draw being held but we did not won anything. At least we got win something coz of the lucky sticker that was pasted bellow the chair my mum sits. She won a $20 Robinson voucher & we won another $20 Robinson voucher via pre-draw. Overall, I enjoyed the day & somemore my first time taking sentosa express monorail !!! haha =D

Last monday, something sad happened to my family. My aunt passed away due to breathing difficulties. It was kinda expected though. She was only 43. During that day itself, I ask for off day from work to visit & offer some prayers before my aunt was buried on the same day. Semoga Allah S.W.T mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. Amin !!!

Last wednesday, I met a new friend. We go out together & we had fun fooling ourselves at night !!! Thanks ya bro !!! I'm definitely sure that we gonna meet again someday !!! Friends forever =)

Last friday after prayer, I met my Indian-muslim friend, Faizal at the SGH mini mosque (surau). I met him before during Sultan Youth meeting. He was surprised to see me there !!! haha =D

Yesterday, for the first time, I have done extremely well in my cashiering duties. I have collected $4446.50 & guess what ? There's neither SHORTAGE nor EXCESS !!! The actual collections TALLY with the system collections !!! I was like wow coz i did not make any mistakes. Btw, saturdays is the only day that i can slack a bit coz not so many customers. Up till now, I have enjoyed working at the pharmacy. When I reached home, I got a letter from Recruit Express regarding my pay !!! I have gotten my 1st 2 weeks pay. Yesterday, i was supposed to go for sultan youth meeting but i didn't attend coz i need to go for a feast (kenduri arwah). I was kinda dissapointed about the attendance too each time we have meeting. Bro Rizal definitely will be dissapointed. At least I nvr go for a good reason lor... =)

Today, I will be staying at home fully coz got nothing to do but resting. My boss told me to have lotsa rest today coz tmr will be a hard day for me. Btw, class chalet is coming up from 25-27 feb. I have reason why i cant attend all 3 days. At my workplace, if a person asks for leave, there will be shortage of manpower. So, I rather take 1 day leave. and also, I was kinda dissapointed coz one of my classmate will not be there even for one day !!! so sad sia =(

Yup, that's all for the update. =D

I will promise to update everyday. Tmr, work from 11-7pm then I will take 12 to Pasir Ris's Aranda Country Club for class chalet... =)

1st day at work

I had just showered & got back from work.

Today is my 1st day of work. I arrived at my workplace at 8.20am. For those of you who don't know what s my job, I work as a retail assiatant at pharmacy @ SGH.

My job scope is handling the cashiering duties & carrying stocks from one block to another. Darren & Usha taught me how to handle the cash regisration. So far, I can cope well with it & quickly pick up the skills. I'm only left with dealing with other modes of payment such as voucher & products that do not have barcode as well as how to delete errors from the registor.

Me & Darren also help to colleck stocks two blocks away. This is also my 1st time doing it. I had to carry heavy boxes of pharmaceutical products. Though it's hard work, but i enjoyed it..

At the cash registration, all the customers that i attended to is happy except for one, where I unintentionally made wrong mode of payment. The indian lady gave me an American Express card but i didnt know that she's paying via NETS. In the end, i do the transaction as AMERICAN EXP, which makes her unhappy. Then another thing is thta she asks us for stapler from Darren, but he's not paying attention. In the end,we got scolded coz she scold us "why are you so blur". I mean, i dun know where's the stapler ma, so I said i dun know lor !!! HAHA but nvr mind, it's fated. What can I do...

Now, my legs are aching all over as well as feeling very tires, I nee dto get some rest for tmr. Btw, I'm working from 8.15am to 5.30pm or 11am to 7pm on weekdays and alternate saturdays from 8.30am to 4pm. Yeah, that's about it for today !!! =D

Nite Cycling

It's the month of feb...

Today, I got back from nite cycling. It was super duper tiring...

The event was organised by us and it's on 2-3 feb. The route was from pasir ris to Changi Village to ECP and back to CV & Pasir ris.

Let me share with u guys what happened yesterday.

Yesterday morning, me & sis faza went to sheng siong to shop for snacks b4 heading by bro
rizal's car to sultan mosque. All the committee members were there after we ariived here with sis nisa too. At this last min, we prepare the items that we need to bring on that day. There were lotsa of things to bring. B4 asar, we (8) went to hjh maimunah rest for lunch. After that, me, sis nisa & sis faza went off first to Pasir Ris Carpark C, with the items...

When we reached there, me & sis nisa carry the stuffs to a spot & waited for the other committee memers to come. At that point, it was 5.30pm. The event was supposed to start from 7pm to nxt day, 7am but the participant must reach by 6pm. As time goes by, it was 7 pm !!! but, no one present except both of us !!! OMG. we told the other members to take MRT to PAsir Ris and not by bro rizal car coz sis faza need to take pkts of food at JW. Hence, no 2nd trip as planned. In the end, they took taxi. BUT, they alight at Pasir Ris MRT instead !!! coz they want to fetch their friends.Guess what ? they took it again and this time they stopped at Carpark E !!! Haiz...

When everybody was there, food was given as well as ice-breaking games were conducted among the group. There were 3 groups ( 2 guys & 1 gal ). If I'm not wrong, there were 18 or 19 participants out of expected 50-60 !!! HAiz... After prayers, safety briefing was given as well as warm up and we are off !!! Just want to say that me,sis nisa, sis faza & dayah as well as bro rizal were not cycling coz we are the logistic ppl. We went to various places by car. how sad i am i did not given a chance to go for cycle. Well, i have no choice coz if they dun do it, who will ? =D

First checkpoint is Changi Village. We stopped there for water break... We dropped the rest from car except me & bro rizal, which we went for roundings just to check the status of them. We found out that the grps are actually quite fast !!! We were worried by their safety, judging by the way they cycle. Then, we went for many rounds just to check how they were doing & so far, no mishaps !!! All of them reached CV at 11.35pm.

At around 12.30am, we depart to ECP Area G. As usual, all of us board the car and proceed. but, we have to go back to pasir ris coz poor syafiee. He volunteer to stay there just to look after the things. Initially, we rent 40 bikes but only 26 of them were used. in the end, the leftover must be taken care of. Bro Rizal volunteer to stay with him. The rest, we head to ECP with our necessary stuffs.

We reached at area D as told by them. BUT, they say they are at area G !!! OMG !!! We were so tired transporting goods 7 then we had to put it back !!! HAizz... They reached at area G around 2am. We had games at 3am, which is the waterbomb. Khairuddin nearly do that to me !!! HAHAA. At around 4am, they depart back to Pasir ris. We went back by car and reached at 4.45am.


I decided to doze off for a while. I woke up at 6am and I found out that they are still not arrived here yet. I perform my prayers alone & waiting fo the rest to come back. 7.15am, that's the time when one of the first few who came. I just get to know that they take a long break at CV and some of them went to mosque for subuh. i was like what !!! This thing is in one grp. how can everybody separates from each other ? no teamwork ar ? We ate Nasi Lemak followed by debrief and the participants can leave. It was 8am !!! at that time. But for the logistic ppl, this does not ends here. We still have to pack and transport all these to the mosque as well as the bicycles.

I find this event a failure !!! I dont want ot talk about it coz it just hurts. But, I just hope that they learnt their lesson. When there's post mortem, I want to critic !!! I dont care... coz everything is in the mess. I feel dissapointed and fed-up about this.

Yeah, that's about it. Tmr, I'm starting to work for the first time !!! I must not be late. If i nvr been late to school, I'm sure i have no problems coming to work too !!! =D
