Stress...

Okay, i reached another milestone today. Finished checking 25000 needles today - with some help from my collegues - which bring the grand total to 43000. But, i received another bag today and the quantity is 18000.... haiz.

Okey, let me elaborate a bit on my job. The first 18000 needles i checked are for loose shields. This is where i suffer lots of injuries. You know, before the doc give you an injection, they will take the needle out from something? That something is called a shield. The next 25000 needles are to check for cracks in the shield. The worst i came across was a shield that was... totally disfigured. The next 18000 needles are to be checked for white spots. I don't know how to say but, ya, check for white spots. Oh, i just found out that among my collegues, i have one of the lowest efficiency. Sobz sobz sobz. I mean, in terms of speed, i lost to a female collegue. Now i am so damn fucked up stress.

ENOUGH about jobs. Today, while buying dinner, i got a new realisation. In this world, you must be the best in whatever you do or else you will be kicked out. Why i say this is because while waiting for my order to be processed, i overheard a customer talking to the aunty who is selling drinks. He asked for a can of root beer which is of the brand Mug, but aunty only has A&W root beer float. So he asked for Sprite, but aunty only has Sprite Ice, which he stressed he don't want. Than he asked for a Pokka Green Tea. But aunty only has Heaven and Earth Green Tea. Sianz half, he went away. This tells me that there are all kinds of customers. If you can't be the best, you will in a way lose some customers. Imagine one day lose 5 customers, 1 week 35 customers and one month... wow... imagine the money you lost...

Went out for dinner with Kiat Gu, Wei Jie and Wei Yang yesterday. The dinner was a sudden decision as my original plan was to go to Bugis Street to buy clothes for the competition tomorrow. But end up i went to PC for evening gongyo and in the end, went for dinner with them. We talked a lot, mostly guys stuff. (Note: Guys stuff). Can't tell you the content but one interesting topic was on army. Remember some time ago, three robbers took a boat to escape from Malaysia after a robbery and ended up in Pulau Tekong? My first reaction was, STUPID! If they are not caught, that IS a miracle. I guess they know nuts about Singapore as most Singaporeans would know Tekong is where we train boys to become men. My goodness! Of SO many islands Singapore have - 64, including the BIG mainland - you guys choose Tekong!? Haiz.

Anyway, Kiat Gu was having his BMT at Tekong when the incident happened. (Note: He has completed his traning on rifles, which means, EVERYONE on the island can fire a gun.) He told us how they combed the island and found the three robbers. But, the team responsible for locating the exact location of the robbers was a elite force of the army. Nahz, not the Commandos or the Guards. The name of the team was... i can't spell it out here cause i do not know the spelling. But heard that their training was more hellish than Commandos and they are people who have no family. They are in short loners. Heard they are also Vietnameses who may have originated from Vietcong. Will try to find out more. Interesting.

Aargh!!! Tomorrow is the day! Tomorrow is the 谁抢走我的麦克风 competition! Right now, i have not prepared my self-introduction speech and performance! Die! Um, let see, what shall i say? I don't want to lose this chance of fulfilling my dream of being a part-time Y.E.S 933FM DJ, but right now, my mind is... BLANK!!! Shit.

Oh, from Cruz blog, the following extract was taken.
