Working at Marks & Spencer
For the past few days, I'm just too tired to blog about my work at M&S. First day at actual work is 7th May at the outlet at Raffles City.
The manager of that outlet is a lady called Naz (think her full name was Nazlinda). See seems like a no-nonsense person, so I guess I better do my stuff properly! The supervisor taking care of the Men's department is Wendy Tang (there is another supervisor by the name of Wendy, but I'm not sure of her surname). On the first day, the guy taking charge of me is a Filipino called Joy. He seems like a nice guy; well-groomed and soft spoken. The other people in the department are Qing and Cadie.
For the past 3 days, everything seems to progress smoothly. I encountered little difficulties dealing with customers because Joy helped me with most of the on-site problems. Today, Wendy Tang told me that its relative easy for now. However, during the sales period, I'd die! I'd better make mental preparations for that!
Food at Raffles City is quite expensive. So I guess I'd have to take away more often, else I risk burning a big hole in my pocket!
Yea, as what I mentioned, work is relatively smooth sailing for now. I'd just pray it stays this way... Hope nothing terrible crops up.

A Moment To Remember
For those that loves Korean love dramas/movies, you'll find this show very heart-breaking. Perhaps it's plot is not very original as there were 2 other movies of the almost-same genre that were released around the same time as this particular one. Nevertheless, the storyline flows smoothly and the acting is very good, it's as if I can empathise with the characters in the movie. I must admit I was in tears at some points in the show!It just made me think, if I were Chul-Soo, would I even go to the extent of doing all the things he did, just hoping that Su-Jin would suddenly wake up?
It just made me think a lot more...
Synopsis
-----------
Divided into four segments, A Moment to Remember follows the theme of discovery in a relationship and the burdens of loss caused by Alzheimer's disease.
The first segment of the film, staged in romantic comedy style, introduces the protagonists, a woman named Su Jin and a man named Chul Soo. The movie highlights their accidental meeting in a convenience store and confusion over a can of soda, followed by their subsequent courting despite the social standings that should have kept them apart.
The second segment follows the couple now settling into married life. Su-Jin learns to be a housewife as her husband cares for her. But as the segment progresses, Su-jin begins to display forgetfulness, including an incident in which a fire breaks out because of a forgotten stove. While Chul Soo caught the fire in time, the seriousness of the incident and others draw them to seek medical help.
The third segment involves the revelation of Alzheimer's disease and the couple's consequent response to it. Su Jin is heavily burdened by the knowledge that she will forget her husband and hides it from him at first until he seeks advice from the doctor himself. Despite the disease, they make the commitment to stay together and as the disease progresses, the trials the couple go through increase because of Su Jin's forgetfulness.
The fourth segment reveals Su-jin in the final stages of the disease and the grief Chul Soo experiences because of it. Yet he remains beside her, despite her lost memory, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses when he visits her so she can't see his tears.
The end of the movie finishes off with Chul Soo replaying the first time they met in the convenience store with all her friends and family in the store. Chul Soo takes her back to the retirement home as they are driving off he finally tells her he loves her.

Horntail Necked / AngieAngie visits!
Above: L-R, Bert, Angie and Me at Plaza SingapuraBelow: Loyalz concentrating on his HT. Grats Loyalz Necked + Egged!
Below: Friendship is meant to last :)
Below: Thanks Farah and Gracie for calling me Blob! No haha, Thanks for the mega! Love u guys!
Getting a horntail necklace seems like a snap-shot decision for me. Previously I had always felt that it seemed like eternity to get that coveted item. But now, all one needs to do is just pay a paltry 50m mesos to get a slot! And of course, the HP has gotta be enough!
Last Tuesday after work, I met up with Loyalz and a friend of his and accompanied him for his HT at PC Bunk. After the session, he was necked and egged. That spurred me to kinda rush my organizer to push my session to this week's thursday. And eventually, she did (Because the initial VIP couldn't make it). Many many thanks to bibibubuzz for borrowing me his HP items for HT. Thanks to Ardynn and squad for making the HT session a breeze. And of course thanks to all Buddy List and Guildmates for their unwavering support! haha!
Oh did I mention that my job application was a success! LoL! Anyway, my second day of work will commence on 6th May. And prior to that date, I'm kind of free. Better settle any outstanding stuffs before I go work, else it'll be too late.
For this week, Angie was in Singapore to have some sightseeing and to visit friends. Today, I met her at Northpoint before we headed down to Orchard for lunch. Well, I guess we've got much to chat about, prattling non-stop about maple and real-life issues, be it we are on the move or stationery. And it was then, she realized that her feet were getting sore due to the fact that she wore 3 inch high heels! So, shopping for a pair of comfortable (yet stylish) pair of shoes became priority! With the shoe issue settled, we went over to PC Bunk to go online and holla the rest in guild! Bert met us for dinner later ( I wasn't that hungry) and after that we prattled more! Perhaps tomorrow, if time permits, the 3 of us + Jerry would meet at Jalan Kayu for prata.
Can't wait for what's in-store tomorrow!

Marks & Spencer Job Interview
With nothing much to do except being online almost 24/7, life's really a bore. What's worse is being too poor to go out to have some fun.
Yesterday, I just went for the job interview for the temporary sales associate at Marks & Spencer (M&S) Centrepoint Outlet. Although I was there at exactly 2pm (which was supposedly the starting time), there were already a lot of people there filling up their application forms and waiting for the face to face interview. The wait was approximately one and a half hours and it was very uneventful.
During that time I constantly scanned the ground, eyeing people with potential to be selected.
Apparently for the ladies (which numbered close to a hundred), there were some that seemed suitable for the job. They were well groomed, pleasant looking and spoke eloquently when interviewed. There were a few that seemed very young (Approx 16 to 17), but hey, the recruitment advertisement specified age 16 and above. There was one lady that looked to be in her 60s and when she was interviewed, the staff (seemed like an area manager) politely told her that her age deemed her unsuitable. Almost instantly, the old lady's shoulders shrunk as she stood up and left the room with an audible sigh. Somehow, I feel pity for her. But, this is the service line, where age, appearance and figure are heavily scrutinized.
For the male applicants, there were much fewer (perhaps it's a lady's thing?). However, there were a handful of them that sounded very eloquent and "sophisticated"... and a bit weird in their behavior. Seriously, I don't know how to describe the way they carry themselves. While waiting, I overheard a conversation between two male applicants sitting behind me. They were engaged in idle chatting, talking about ACS Independent and Barker Road, talking about contemporary music, about classical musical instruments. Can't stand it... They are too "Ang Mor" and it kinda irks me. I also managed to catch a glimpse of one of them being interview. Jia Lat... behavioral problem... There were other male applicants too, that looked funny, dressed funny, had very short hair and somewhat seemed out-of-place if they were successful in their application. The ultimate one I saw was this Malay chap that looks to be in his late 20s or early 30s. One thing, he was fat. The other thing was that he behaved like a sissy, chatting up a lady in her 40s and exhibiting all those sissy hand gestures with that cheesy smile on his face! I can still remember that smiling visage with curly and oily hair! What's most outstanding is that he was carrying a shoulder-slung bag with a graphic of "Little Miss Annoying" printed on it! Whoa!!! Indeed a lady's best friend!
