Okay, i know if you have been following my entries, this is my second day. But i was too tired yesterday to do any typing. So here goes.
Yesterday i woke up at a damm time. 5.30am! Oh my goodness, this remind of me of my secondary school days where i woke up at 5.30am. But hey! During my JC time, i woke up at 6.30am ya? My bio clock changed even drastically after my “A” level exams. Telling me to change it back to waking up at 5.30am need motivation. Money is enough to motivate me. Maybe a girl with the looks of Naomi Watts and the figure of Angeline Jolie will be a excellent motivation.
Luckily, the company provide transport. But asking me to wait for the bus at 6.30am in the morning? Come on! What is worse is that it drop us off at the factory at… 7am! Come on! I start work at 7.30am. What you want me to do for the half an hour? Sleep? Too short a duration. Walk around. With all those doors leading to don’t know where, i prefer to stay in the canteen and stoned. I don’t want to get killed by those machines or needles which may be flying around. At least let me die without looking like someone who are having an acupuncture session.
Um, so at 7.30am, i proceed to the locker to put my things and put on
1) Safety goggles
2) Ear plugs
3) Hair net
4) Jumpsuit
5) Boots
6) Gloves
in that order.
On the first day, we had a briefing session by my superviser on this thing called Good Manufacturing Practice(GMP). The GMP is followed by factories worldwide and no, i am not going to tell you the details. I forget about it anyway. About why everyone must put on that 5 things above, reasons being is we are in a “cleanroom”. In the “cleanroom”, needles and syringes are manufactured and assembled. Oh, as the name imply, everyone must also wash their hands before entering. Don’t ask me why. It is part of the procedures. However, the “cleanroom” isn’t very clean. It is just a normal air-con room. Wonder why they name it “cleanroom” in the first place. Oh, do not worry about the needles that those docs inject in you. They are SAFE. From my description, they look contamined. BUT, they are sterilised once they are assembled and the sterilisation are done outside the “cleanroom”. Oh, i also learn from the briefing about the different kinds of needles and some of their characteristics. I also learn how to check for their expiry date. Yes, needles have expiry dates. There are some other things i learned from the briefing but i am trying to recall. Will update if i can recall.
Anyway, back to my job. Before putting those needles into the machines for packaging, they have to be checked first. That means, the shield covering the needles have to be tight. After the machine have “installed” the shield, they are collected in plastic bags. The machine just “install” the shields, they don’t care tight or not. My job is to take the needles out from the plastic bag, ensure the shields are tight and transfer them to another plastic bag. If i found out that the needle has no shield, i have to separate them out. Sounds simple? Nahz, when you have 18,000 needles in one bag and you risk being pokes by those “shieldless” needles and you have to check them one by one.
Okay, that is my job. I hope to find another job by end of January if not i will die of boredom and my fingers may be full of man-made pores. I tell you, the needles are damm sharp and the wound they make is damm small. Oh, i applied for a half-day leave on the second day of my job, which is today. Cool huh? All thanks to my sister who works in BD HR department. Thanks sis!
Oh, tonight is my JC Graduation Night. Will upload pics if i can. Oh no, i am going to be late…
Woo. Finally back home and able to sit down. Been standing on the MRT trip home.
Okay, as the name suggest, i just went to a pub. No, not clubbing. P…U…B. PUB.
It is my first time to a pub and this pub by the name of Caesar got my first time. Hahaha.
It was a typical pub, nothing intersting. Went there to look see look see ba. Just sit down and have a chat with friends while watching others play pool. Oh my, they are very good! Especially the ang mohs. There is one who won at least 4 rounds consecutively. When can i be like him? *Daydream*
Anyway, i tried out some new drinks. I cannot remember what my drink’s name was but it was quite nice. You know you will experience some initial flavour before the effect of alcohol hit your throat(where your throat will experience an acute dryness)? Got it got it? Mine was not sweet but it resemble lime flavoured drink. Than there this drink by the name of Snowball. It appears to be creamy in colour and all i could describe is that it is rather sweet and maybe a tiny bit of milk flavour.
Hmmm, there goes my first experience of going to a pub. Will patronise more pubs in the future since i am of legal age. Heez. 
Than maybe do a comparison and not forgetting trying out clubbing. Don’t know which lucky club will get my first time. Haha.
Oh my, my eyelids are getting heavy, very heavy, super heavy…
Note: All these refer to my previous blog over at blogspot.
Okay, the revamp is 80% plus done. Added some pictures. Thanks ImageShack for the free hosting. Added a tagboard too. Feel free to tag!!
Will continue looking around before announcing the completion of renovations of my blog.
Oh, to people who wanted to put a link in my blog to theirs, feel free to do so. Just post your blog address at the tag board and i will see to it asap.
Did you notice the Bugs Bunny picture on your right? Yes, that is Bugs and Lola, a screenshot taken from the movie, Space Jam. I love the movie!! Love Bugs Bunny since young. What’s up, doc? A pity that i don have cable tv and that the local tv don’t play Bugs Bunny cartoons anymore. Really miss those days where you get to see Bugs tricking the poor hunter.
*Yawns*
Oh no, i am getting tired yet there is Oko(one of my religious meeting) later at 7.30pm. Better get some sleep in case i fall asleep on someone’s back.
It is now 0227 in the morning and i have just completed some major renovations to my previous blog, the one at blogspot. *Yawns*
I like the banner picture a lot. Always wanted to have a house by the sea and everyday wake up to the beautiful scenery. Of cause, hopefully i can find someone to share it with me.
The revamp is not complete. Still got to edit some stuff and install a tagboard. Not forgetting to set up links too.
But all these can wait. Been sitting in front of the computer for quite a while. Got to take a break or else the world will have one more person wearing specs.
CHOY!
Cannot afford to let it happen. Still want to fullfill my dreams of being a pilot.
Better go now, in case it really happen. Wait a while bed, i am coming.
A simple one…
Wow, now than i managed to sit down and rest. Became a “free labour” for my mum, moving beds and shelves around the house and not forgetting to look after my nephew.
He is SOOO cute! Haha. However, he… is… super… HYPERACTIVE! Try leaving him in the living room and than walk into your room. Less than 5 minutes later and you will find him crawling into your room and under your feet! And not only that, place anything higher than him in front of him and he will use it to stand. BUT, he have not learn to stand properly yet. Imagine if he slip and fall… oh my goodness. So everyday we have to watch him all the time and boy, it is not something fun.
Maybe i am getting old or is it my nephew? But he seems to be full of energy. For the past few weeks, i have been sleeping at around 2 plus(listening to Yes 933… heez). However my nephew is still crawling around and laughing! Oh my… and not only that, at around 7am in the morning, he would be crying so hard that it seems like the world is ending just so he can woke up my mother/his grandmother to feed him. Thank you nephew for waking me up in the wee hours.
You may say he take naps in the day mah. Yes he do take naps. But half an hour per naps and less than 5 per day?
Okay, here he goes again, crying as if the sky has fallen.
Wait my boy, wait!
Wow, finally reach home le. Haha. Been out the whole day busy with…
SHOPPING!
Went to look for my grad night clothes.
I was successful in geting something sensible for less than S$100! So happy! Thought i would exceed S$150 mark, but hey, i know where to get good bargains ya?
Oh ya, before i rattle on, i got a jacket and a long sleeve top. Pants wise… shall look around first. Shall deciding whether to use my old one(hey, it is still in good shape. Old as in i bought it long ago) or get a new one.
To those still looking for prom/grad night clothes… here are some tips.
1) Decide on what you want to wear first.
2) Plan out your budget first.
3) Do not go to those high end shops like Topman/Topshop etc. Look around in Bugis Street, The Edge and Far East Plaza.
4) Buy clothes that you know you will wear it again and see whether it can apply to other similar occasions in the future. No point buying it and after wearing it once, left it in the cold.
Normally the places i recommend have what you would need for prom/grad night and they are way cheaper than those high-end shops. From accessories to jackets to shoes, you want it, they have it! And they go easy on your pockets too. But remember to look hard though. Some bargains are hidden.
Another tip i have is:
While looking around, shortlist some clothes you confirm want to buy and remember where the shop is. Than look around the whole area and see whether got other shops that got sell the same or similar clothes to the one you want. Than of course, buy from the shop that sell it at a cheaper price.
I saw 2 tops i wanted to buy but i decided to look around first. It proved to be both a good and bad choice.
Bad choice is because the top i most wanted to buy is the only piece in the area, in this case, Bugis Street. When i returned back to the shop, it was… GONE!!! Aargh! I was so mad and sad. Shall not talk about it anymore or else i will just throw this keyboard out of the window.
Good choice is because the second top i want to buy has two pieces in Bugis Street. The first shop sell it at $39 while there was another shop which sell it at $35. $4 difference! Got to get it straight away or else history will repeat again. Of coz, as a typical Singaporean, a little bargaining won’t die right? But, i got to admit, i have LOUSY bargaining skills. Final price? S$33.
Okay, enough about clothes. Although i have the clothes, but i lack… SHOES!
I seriously do not want to buy shoes specially for grad night as i guess i won’t be wearing it in the short future. Anyone can help me?
