Warehouse sales

1st warehouse sales in which I am sitting at the cashier counter, instead of fighting with the crowd to grab the goodies.

31st July to 1st August. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we worked from 8.45am to 6.45pm. Open area. Hot sun, heavy rain, strong wind, all in.

On average, I was knocked out by 10pm every night.

Of course I buy things for myself still. Hehe. An hour before we open to public, staff can do purchases. I spent close to RM400 for my own shoppings. Let me see what I bought, spring water, nail varnish, nail polish remover, shampoo, hair gel, hair mousse, trixera cream, paper mask, make up remover... I guess this is it? Well, of course some of them were for my mum and Anne. :) It's ironic that during a cosmetics company's warehouse sales, I did not buy any item to do with make up, except for the make up remover.. haha..

Of course, some interesting incidents happened again. And my colleagues all seemed to have known me more.. you know what I mean. Haha.

1st day, at about 3pm, they distributed ice cream potong ! That's the best thing to see during an extremely hot afternoon ! If you know me, you will know that I bite my ice cream, I don't like licking them. So.. I bite.. and then suddenly I felt something uneven from my front teeth, I though the wood from the ice cream stick got stuck on my tooth, I trid removing it.. and then... I realised, that IS my tooth.

I cracked that tooth when I was really young, while playing a "bull" game with Anne in parents' office. I fell on the ground so hard and hit the front tooth on the metal chair leg, part of it became powder. Daddy brought me to the nearest dentist and did a filling. Looked very real.

I've been praising this work of the dentist that the filling is so awesome that no matter what I bite, after so many years, still strong!! I didn't expect the filling to drop off that day..after about 15 years, and I believe that I've swallowed it together with the ice cream. >.<

I threw away the remaining ice cream, confirmed the condition of my tooth in the washroom. Called to make appointment with Doctor Rose in SS15, 4pm. Told Mary my boss and 3.45pm I left for my appointment. By 4.30pm my tooth was "repaired", paid RM80. I went back to the warehouse sales. Haha. Many of my colleague said I should'nt have returned. :P They all laughed at me that I "gigi patah" while eating ice cream. :(

2nd day, Joshua paid me a surprise visit at about 3pm! Yeay! He brought me 100 plus, exactly what I needed!! Weather was extremely hot, we were hoping it will rain but tarak. He also brought nyonya kuih -_- wrong food to bring when all of us are suffering from the heat. Anyway, managed to introduce him to Mary. :) Ah that night, he cooked the most delicious meal ! Black sauce chicken wings, steamed fish and stir fry bayam !! Yumm yummm !!! We eat properly at dining table unlike our usual practice, eat at living room while watching FRIENDS. Hehe. It's great to have home-cooked food together and having meaningful conversations at the same time. :) Felt blessed.

3rd day, after lunch I felt bored, as Sunday is the quietest day. Bought Teh C ais from the cafe. I think the tea gave me a high on adrenalin, I couldn't stop talking and laughing! I made a lot of stupid jokes with my colleagues, and we had a good laugh. At about 4pm, Natalie (my partner cashier) walked off to buy a crazily cheap Avene facial mask while I chatted with Ainie the malay girl behind me, I have no idea what I've done, that the whole cashier table lost balance and fell off! I screamed so loud trying to save the table from dropping but failed. It was very loud. I was very embarassed. A malay guy colleague helped me picked up the table, restored everything. I was still laughing at myself that time, so embarassed. A few sales girls walked passed and asked "who dropped the table just now? who screamed just now?" One of them said I screamed as if I saw a celebrity. -_-Natalie laughed so hard when she came back and found out that I dropped the table. I can't describe with words my feelings, embarassed but also laughing at my own behaviour. Butter finger I keep calling myself.

Thank God that it's over. Back to normal work cycle. Although I didn't have a normal weekend.. still.. I thank God I made RM120. Hehe. Saturday and Sunday, RM60 each. Not a lot, but still is money. Helped push my total spending down to RM280. Haha. :P
