7.

At least something now.

But still, i'm aching 24/7 all over... plus a little bonus today. 2 fine pieces of chocolate chips got embedded in my fingers. Now i make sure i bring a nail clipper too.. lol.

Slowly but surely, i'm picking up. I don't foresee being as such forever, but this is part of the prerequisite. It will be all that i can absorb during the next few months.. the more i learn, the better it will be.

A bit being able to recognise size by sight, and also to differentiate some of the different types. Also was learning other types as well. However, it is all the custom-made that are the cash cows.. and so knowing the basics is still not enough.

Still going band practices on sundays.. especially when there isn't anyone to back me up. Then the only free day of the week was use to do some last minute shopping. In the end i spend quite a bit on the working attire (wearing jeans is quite uncomfortable lor..), and was so glad that the boutiques are all having 40% discount.. wahaha.. plus my debit card, i get another 10% on top.. wow leh.. haha.. 2 for the price of one, and the other boutique is also the same. Still a little bit more shopping to do in town.. and i wonder where i can borrow the time from.

Coming saturday will be a performance at tbsc. 4pm to reach, but work ends at 6. Maybe apply for EFO (early fall out) and reach before 6 for the sound test ba. 2nd jan, another mini performance.. zzz.. so happening lor.. then feb another one at botanical.. wahhhhhhh.. I wonder how people balance work and personal life.. maybe coz they no need to work 10 hours per day, including saturdays ba.

Recession, but the chocolate factory is lacking staff (skilled one i mean).. sadly, this is one of those jobs that locals will not want to do. Given the same salary, i rather soak myself in air-condition whole day long, and have a seat to sit lor. But i think, slowly, i'm beginning to adapt.

By the way, happy belated bday to parky.. 2 years old liao wor.
