Bloody Hell

Well, life is definitely a roller coaster. Not just stage by stage or year by year. It can also be day by day. Or hour by hour.
Yesterday's event felt normal. I was the usher again, but this time I had to guard the door and open/close doors for the guests too. Felt like a guard dog. Worse still, people sat there while I had to stand for hours. In pumps.
Good thing is, the event ended way earlier than expected. There goes the packing and settling down. Then, one senior told me that I can leave. And so I left. How naive and innocent of me. Or rather, dumb. I received a reprimand from the head of the event today. Oh bother. I neglected to inform her I was leaving. My fault, but I still felt cheated and tricked. By the senior. Also, its a bother working with some people. I am slow and dumb, so I need to ask questions in case I make mistakes. However, some people felt that its alright to not answer or that they have given enough clear instructions.
After the event, I went shopping! Impulsively purchased a lot of DVDs. Happy!
Thereafter I went home and got into argument with my mother. Angry! Sad! Annoyed!
Today, I got the reprimand and had to pack goods to be sent home to company.
Then I realised the color prints by each individual are tracked. I had to admit that I printed some stuff for myself because of dad. That would mean I had to pay. Which I havent because they havent asked for it yet.
I also had to get reimbursed for the lunch money spent yesterday. Which means I had to get signatures from two people. Haiz. Annoying.
Getting sick is definitely not good. Why? Because getting medical leave means no pay for the day! I had to submit the medical certificate because I was asked to. Now I have to get my next month's pay deducted! Shit!
Next week still have to work overtime, with no additional pay of course because it is a painful internship! Slaves are us.
Shitty roller coaster ride!

Blues~~

It's been a few months since I've posted here. Well, now is summer break and I am on my internship. Hopefully I can get a good internship report which clears another requirement on my university scorecard.
Right now, I am experiencing internship blues. When I am busy, I wish I had nothing on my hands. When I have nothing to do, I wish I was busy. Did logistics, ushering, registration and telemarketing since I got to this company. Also did shopping and item-hunting for people. Fun and tense at times, but it gets to me still. Busy bored busy bored.
Today its still telemarketing for people to register, when the registration date is supposed to be long past. This job is good, when the people you call dont hang up or say nasty things to you. Which happen some times.
Got sick last Wednesday so I only got back to my post today. Hope can do a good job today. A little enthusiastic but may get dampen soon. Oh, I am weird. Enthusiastic because I need and want to be. Unenthusiastic because the pay is so low. The woes of an internship.
Added on to this bunch of things, two of my students stopped their tuition temporarily. Now, I have to tighten my purse strings and spend lesser. Restrain my spending craves!! What a difficulty, since I need to spend to relax!
Gambatte! You will receive your pay soon. Hang on!
Internship, summer community service camp and tuition! You can do it!

Deteriorating Each Year

It's been months since I typed at my blog. Today's my birthday, my twentieth. This signifies that I am one year away from adulthood and on my journey towards aging. Many elderly will be thinking of smacking me if they see that sentence. Right, I was exaggerating about aging. I mean, I still have many years before I reach the thirty boundary.
It's like any other normal day today, just that it doesn't feel the same. I cooked lunch, cleared up, read, ate again and went to give tuition. Yes, this is how I spent today. It should have been special, shouldn't it? Well, last year I ate economical rice as celebration. At least I receive my pay today. Much better than last year. I had wanted something special for celebration, not just about money and work to get more money.
The bomb came from my mother just now, at 9.30pm. She said, "oh, today's your birthday". Apparently, she forgot all about it until then. I never had any hopes of her helping to celebrate my birthday. Yet she stretched the limits by forgetting about it. Well, I shan't keep my hopes up anyway, for the years beyond.
At least I received over thirty well wishes from my friends, some dear ones and some acquaintances. I also received some presents. It's all good.
Should never pin hopes on something so unrealizable.
It's special, alright.
