hello and good morning! time check 8.49am and i only had 2 bloody hours of sleep, tsk. no thanks to Shevron for making me re-do my artwork. and i need at least an entire day to finish them all up. and since i'll be heading out later, i need to get up early to at least finish most of it.

anyway, do you know that a staff at the Singapore Zoo gets free entry to the Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park and, well, the Singapore Zoo itself? not forgetting staff discounts at all 3 parks' retail and f&b outlets. well i don't go to the Night Safari and JBP as often as the zoo, but for the fact that it's free entry, wow! (huhu cheapskate in da houze) and discounts at Ben & Jerry's -- awesome! and i'm very glad i get all those privileges now, teeheehee! (; *hinting ah ni konon*

well i went for the try-out last Wednesday, along with another girl newbie, Apriani. the both of us immediately hit it off with some simple conversations about how nerve-wrecking it is just waiting to be posted to the entrance.. you know, the norm. so yes, the both of us were assigned to man the entrance and sometimes the exit by making the standard greeting to the customers, tearing off their entrance tickets.. you know the drill. and all i can say is, everything's just as i expected. long hours of standing (8 hours to be precise, already minus a 1-hour lunch break) and being clueless about many things. i don't mind the standing; at least this beats working at Topshop. -_-" and the pay here is more worthwhile too, even if it's just by a dollar. moving on, staff lunch was DA BEZT! we had mushroom lasagne and mango drink. and i heard yesterday's lunch would be chicken chop or seomthing, idk. but the meal seemed very very appetizing and fulfilling as well. i suppose they feed you just as well as they feed the animals, haha.

so at the end of the day, Sim Hui, the uhh.. Operations Manager (i think) ended our meeting by saying, "welcome aboard!" so exciting, mcm first time kerje gitu but i was put to ticketing. ): err actually that was what i applied for la, heh but that's only because idk what the position's called to be at the entrance. and the reason she took me in into ticketing (other than the fact that i blindly applied for the position), is due to my cashiering background but cashiering scares me! especially that this time i'll be handling with large sums of money. and if i ever *choy choy choy* has shortage of cash, wah i die. but Sim Hui was kind enough to let me go for a trial at the ticketing. if i think i can handle it, i can take it. otherwise, she'll put me at Guest Relations at the entrance. that'd be better. then i can scan for that mohawk ang moh guy hahahaha *inside joke* so.. there'll be an orientation this Tuesday. my official day working at the zoo should be somewhere after that. finally, some monthly income now.

somehow, i'm looking forward for today. the plan is still a mystery but the first destination is confirmed. and i'm looking forward to tomorrow's class too. erm, a little bit la since i don't really like this teacher. pfft. and then off to an ice-cream date with Serena! hehe. okie doke, off to Ai. till here.
