Bracing for December 2010

How long has it passed since exam period finished?
It has just officially finished on Thursday, yet I went through all of my exams a week in advance.

Time sure flies very quickly, it's almost 2 weeks since I did my last paper and it's going to turn to December soon.

December means that it will soon change year. It's always the month that I wait for in the year.

Maybe it's because it's my birth month. But that's not all, December is like a true holiday month for me, there are Christmas and New Year. What I love about my birthday is that it's always holiday whenever you go, so I am sure I am not supposed to work or study during this holiday. :)

Maybe this year will be an exception. As you all know that I am doing part-time jobs this summer. I am thinking of taking shifts on holidays like Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year. I am not 100% sure with this myself, but maybe that's what I'll do.

The reason is, I think all of my friends who stayed in Melbourne during summer are going to be busy or they have a plan on their own. Some relatives coming and so on. So I guess I'd better earn extra money rather than spending my time home alone.

It's not that bad, during these public holidays, I'll be getting like double pay in Woolworths, so at least I'll get minimum of $30 per hour! I can't imagine if I'll be working full days on these public holidays, it might worth weeks of work! Ahaha....

Oh yeah, 5th-9th December, I'll be going to Tasmania. I can't wait for that, in 2 weeks I'll be in Tasmania now. This trip is all arranged by my friends from Malaysia, so I'll just sit and follow their plan.

It's very bright outside, no clouds. Warm sunshine and cool breeze, I really want to enjoy outside. I guess I'll finish my laundry and had my breakfast before that.

Double Lariat

A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll sing around
So please, stay away from me

I enjoyed singing around so much
That I didn't want to quit
The singing continued, and I forgot to stop

My friends around me can sing better than me
"It's no use", I would mutter
While pretending to have given up

A radius of 250 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll move around and sing
So please, stay away from me

I was so content with singing aimlessly
That I didn't want to quit
If I continued to sing around aimlessly, I believed I would be rewarded

My friends around me can sing a greater distance than me
Because I lowered my gaze so much
My neck hurts and I pretended to sulk

A radius of 5200 cm is the distance my voice can reach
From now on I'll fly around and sing
So please, stay away from me

So what do you think?
If my younger self saw me now, would he praise me?
However I'm feeling dizzy and my body is tilting

With my head tilted 23.4 degrees
I gazed down the row of houses on the street
And before I know it, they were dyed a color I had never seen before

A radius of 6300 km is the distance my voice can reach
Right now I feel that I can do it
So please, stay away from me

A radius of 85 cm is the distance my voice can reach
Someday when I got worn out from singing
At that time, please be by my side

Induction Day

It's here!

Yep, I did my induction day this morning!
My induction should have started at 8am, but I misread the time as 8.30 instead and came late which I only realised when I reached the room!

I was quite fun: videos, workshop, filling documents.
I enjoyed it despite being sleepy the whole time.
I met new people here, two of them will be my colleagues and one of them is Indonesian!
Three of us will be working in different departments though, but it is fine as one of Woolworths' motto is "We are a Team" so we will keep on looking for each other even if we are in different departments. :)

And one thing I want to share is.... I'm a member of a Union now!
It's like, employees union where they look after us and fight for our rights. :)
The biggest reason I joined this union is that I can get discounts at major retailers in Australia, including $9.30 movie voucher (for adults to be used anytime, and can be used for 3D screening as well!!!!!) woo-hoo! Talk about benefits, huh? ;)

I'll be starting as Bakery Assistant, and I'm quite sure that it will involve baking!
You should all know that my parent's business is a bakery ingredients retail back in my hometown! Hahahaaa!!!!!

I'll start next week, on Friday, 11.30-2.30. Am very excited, yes.
Everything's ready, I got my name tag and Woolies shirt. :)
I need to get a pair of black shoes though, I've been using my good and only pair.
Hope I've got time to shop a bit tomorrow! :)

Just one exam left on Thursday and.....
Ready for Summer!!!!!!
