I have been wanting to talk abt my first job @ shichida... hahaha but it actually took me 3 months to start writing about it... my probation is going to be over soon... unless susie decides to fail me for the appraisal... hahaha i also dunno where to start saying? yaya should be the origin of the job?
as you all know, i am not a very active person... ever since the attachment, i have not been eagerly looking for a job... but for biyin ar, she even more ganchiong spider den me wan... den she saw this job ad which she thinks will suit me... so she emailed me about it... i read abt it and i feel tt its not bad... so i applied for it... i still rem tt time my manager and colleague in givaudan helped me alot with it... thanks again for the valuable advice and tips... my manager even offered to be my reference...
from the job ad, it looks quite ok... the job scope is definitely fun and the pay is really not bad... well, i have learnt tat you should not judge things from the surface... nevertheless, i guess there are always positive and negative aspeccts of every job... depending on wat you value...
they were quick to reply (compared to food companies) so i went for two interviews consecutively... each time i was made to wait for very long... its kinda sianz and made me felt tt the company has poor organisation skills... but i managed to pass everything and i was asked to decide whether to sign a contract with them... (to be continued)

Day two in HongKong
Heehee din expect tt i will start to write blogs again? yaya... i am a lazy person... someone actually reminded me tt i only wrote till day one in hongkong... haha in fact, the trip was made in may... now its coming to september already... =p lemme transfer wat i have written on paper...
we woke up very early at 7.15 am and ate HK-style breakfast... because we have no idea where is nice, we just anyhow find a nearby 'restaurant' to eat... it was then i realised wat it meant to be said "eat like a king"... the breakfast was very filling... lemme recall... a breakfast set actually consist of a drink (tea, coffee, milk or hot lemon tea) with toasted bread (super thick slices) plus ham and scrambled egg or sunny side up, and a plate of macaroni... its ALOT for gals u know... four of us shared two breakfast sets and still feel FULL... after tat, we set off to the OCEAN PARK at 8... wat a kiasu bunch... =p geez, we reached the Queen's pier (where the bus stop is) earlier than expected... bus 629 only departs at 9.35 am... so we went "bura bura" (walking around aimlessly) instead... took a few pictures at the pier... haha reminded me of those HK drama... whenever the female lead is feeling sad... she would go there for a walk... just nice the male lead always appear at the same place... but they always nvr see each other because a stupid pillar or a wall blocking them... hehe~ we saw the Du Ling (some sort of olden chinese boat) tt we wanted to take but could not cuz of the lack of time... i guess its good tt we din... cuz Panda might vomit mar... :s Fish also lor... at the pier, we saw an uncle fishing with just some worms and a fishing line... kinda disgusting to see him cut up the long slimy worm into many pieces... haha but he looks quite pro... there were few fishes flipping and suffocating on the ground... after tt, we went back to the bus stop and it started drizzling i think... finally after a long journey, we reached the lowland entrance of Ocean Park... =)
we were very happy to reach Ocean Park and the weather still seemed rather ok... went to look at birds first i think... saw the flamingoes in the river and then walked down to a garden with swans and yuenyangs (chinese lovebirds)... den into a big big cage with the nice and cute lil birds... kinda resembles a mini Jurong Bird Park... subsequently, we went to the exciting rides le... four of us went to the water ride... erm supposedly very scary... and i tink its rather scary lar... cuz can only hold onto metal rod... plus plus i am very timid wan... hahaha but its small case for fish, panda and milk... a photo was snapped by the camera lar... but then everyone din look at the camera... all looked messy messy wan... haha after tt, milk even went to take another ride alone which looked damn giddy wan lor... the seat itself turns and the big wheel turns... actually i wanted to be a brave gal but in the end i backed out... haha
den there are lotsa outdoor escalators which are damn long... we took a photo on the escalator but its rather scary... cant imagine falling down lor... *heng i din* cant rem exactly wats next? i guess we went to the top of Ocean Park and at this time, the rain has become heavier... we managed to walk to the seal area to look at the seals... and took pics in front of the mascot... =) the seals all look lazy lazy and relax relax... at the souvenir shop, i bought a tshirt for my bro... actually i am very greedy wan... wanted to buy lotsa things... in the end dun wanna buy... cuz day two only mar... =p in the rainy weather, we continued to walk forward... there was a short toliet break at some eatery rite? den we headed for the ride which carried us to the tower top and it can turn to view the scenario of Ocean Park... (just like wat singapore has in sentosa!) i kinda like tt ride... simple and peaceful, especially well appreciated in rainy weather at tt time... den after tt, we went to some shark museum? to look at the sharks with some other tour group? if i nvr rem wrongly, they were wearing some yellow windbreaker or cap ar... so distinct from us... we din meant to go there wan... anyhow walked into it... -_-"
disaster befallen upon us after tt... the rain got heavier and heavier... guess wat? the eateries in Ocean Park are not FULLY sheltered... only a pathetic tent-like cover... poor tourists like us were stuck in the shelter... everyone had their umbrellas to shield from rain... it was painful at that moment to recall how lazy i was to bring umbrella and brought only my jacket... four of us standing close together, hoping to shield off the rain... how lucky in sg we nvr get such irritating rain? it nvr seemed to stop... luckily the rain gets lighter... den we took cable car down to lowland... it was very scary and steep... however, after reaching the lowland, the rain stopped?? wat the... we went to visit the boring GoldFish museum and look at the PANDAs @_@ in Ocean Park... but they slping ler... panda very lazy wan hoh? =p when we decided to go up to highland, it started drizzling again... we managed to try a few more rides... me n milk tried the multi turning wan... dizzy but not too scary... haha den viking is like sitting on swings... damn funny... the worst was i was coerced into trying the roller coaster... scared the hell outta me... yaya... yj asked me to close my eyes... so i did... which in fact even worse... cuz i din know when its gonna fall... i screamed till out of breathe and no sound came out... it was crazy and they wanna try again... lucky the queue was long... tts all for Ocean Park... i will update when i am more hardworking again... hahaha =p
