2 days ago-the day I've been waiting
18th December 2007
That day morning , Joel finally returned. I was kind of high (those like on ecstasy like that) because of all the pleasant events coming up (refer to one of the previous entry, it's written there), and probably because that I didn't sleep the whole of that particular morning. Haha, I was waiting for my best friend's return. So ya, it's worth the sacrifice=).
Early in the morning (at around 7.30), I'd already left the house because I thought I wouldn't succeed in my swapping of shifts and I told them to start at 8. My bad. So, my retribution? I was the first one there and waited for almost a good half an hour. Never mind about that. Joel came earlier so we had some catch up to do=). Haha, many things happened loh, but I'm the only one recounting my many encounters because I'm pretty updated of his through his blog=P.
So, ya, that day's performance wasn't particularly good and I committed numerous lousy mistakes. The feeling's sucks, a little soury though. Only until it rained (yes, that was the real last game of the day, though we had some small ones after the rain), that my performance improved slightly- made some crucial slides=). At least some consolation bah=).
Then we went to the coffee shop near Kah's place (We skipped the usual place because Jim was tired of the food there). But this was no better- most of the food are already sold out due to it being a half wet-market (refer to Joel's blog for greater details).
Then I had my meal and they were reluctant to leave, as in they wanted to chit chat. I couldn't break into the conversation because my brain's shutting down fast because of the previous day. And finally *poof*, I'm off to la~la~ land again. And guess what my dear friend's done? They played a prank on me by hiding up, and leave me to sleep, and asking an auntie to wake me up, and stalked me, and -_- laughed at me. To think I've even bought Christmas present for them. What friends! And worse, Joel's among them! =(
But I wouldn't blame them. I find it funny myself too=) Haha. Who would sleep in a coffee shop right? What an experience!
Sleeping curse number two:
The devils of dreamland has been chasing me for a whole day, and here it struck again. Well, after rushing off to work at 5, I've been at the shop floor until 11. My partner was Jenny- the other only Chinese staff there. And I grumbled and complained about my sleepiness even before Sufie ended her shift. I'm a grumbler, just like the look of Avram Grant. =P
But as the shift progressed, it turned out that I became less tired, in fact, much less. An together, Me and Jenny, succeeded in completing the day's ultimate goal target- $****. A new record!. Ever since my arrival at Cocoa tree, there's been only 2 record-breaking sales and I'm involved in both at shop 1, and the top salesman in both!=) The one in Shop 2 I'm also involved though.=P So proud! Although the second time, Jenny gave me a lot of her sales. Well... thanks=)
But here's where the devilish imps struck! I was on bus 34 at 12+ midnight because there was a sudden gush in of customers last minute making us having to close half an hour later. That was probably the last bus. Lucky me, I got on. And from there embarked my 15-minutes journey home. What a sweet journey which leads me to once again, the familiar La~la~ land of my very own. zZzZ... And I missed my stop. Luckily, I managed to wake up and notice the difference in lightings at last minute and alighted at the Tampines Sports hall. That's so much closer to my house when you compare it with Pungol. I was thinking, at that point of time, if I've not woken up, I would have to spend a night at Keng's house. Lucky me again. And I hurried my footsteps, built up my pace and reached the Tampines interchange. I did plan to walk home- another 15-minutes walk would do, but when I saw the queue round the corner at my bus's waiting area, I was so relieved- the last bus has yet to leave. Lucky me! I was catching my breath, and pacing slowly when the bus came, and the queue got swallowed by the front door fast. I have, but to make a run for the bus. HE waited for me though. That's so much a better service as compared to that of the driver of bus 34 of the previous day(refer to previous blog).
I said thanks, and it was home sweet home. My dinner at 1.20 a.m.- 2 egg tarts, 2 bread.
Back to la~la~ land after that.Labels: come and go
