I think most of you guys know that I'm working for a bit while waiting for my SAM results to be released.. After that it'll be University life soon.. time flies so fast huh!
The kindergarten's alright.. most of my work includes filing, new registration, handling parents, data entry, photo sorting, class alocation, office boy.. etc etc... AND boy can it be straining! I mean.. it's not that bad working from 8.30 till 4pm but handling forms and data entry for almost 500 kids!! my eyes hurt from computer screen! and some kids parents can be really annoying!
Recently the office was busy sending out letters to parents to inform them about their kids new class, so u can imagine the work:
1. Key in data in computer
2. Extract address and new class and parents names for each form
3. Double check their addresses with their new forms (400+ forms mind u!)
4. Print out classes by classes (about 12+ classes)
5. Fold letters, paste stamp and post 400 letters
I wonder how my parents run this business actually.. I mean, they have to face annoying parents, incompetent staff and teachers, 500 kids running around.. EVERY DAY!
Come to think of it i'm actually glad I'm helping out for a while.. It awakes me to the reality of life, learning to be disciplined and organised, not to mention cautious and patient!
To answer most of your questions, NO i do not get paid, I'm volunteering myself to help out, but I have no complains though.. driving a car and going to University is payment enough! haha
Besides work and all.. Life after my Inti Nilai experiance has been great.. Being close to home in PJ means more time to hang out with the gang! Futsal guys (mcd, chris, ant, tim etc etc), had a supprise birthday party and welcome home for Chris Teo and boy was that an interesting experiance..
The plan was this.. Wei Chin and Su Yi was suppose to gather everyone to meet at Williams (a high class mamak) in taman megah at 7pm that day.. I was in charge of "stalling" Chris until that time to go for dinner.. SO I called Chris that day to go for Batminton at 5'ish and later for dinner.. the other guys werent free so it was just me, my sis and him and guess what, NO MORE COURTS!!.. swt.. so i had to stall him for over 1 hour!.. drove around.. went to wei chin's apartment:
Me: Hey chin! there's no more courts, i'm with chris, we're outside ur apartment, can visit u ah?
Chin: Psst, is chris listening?
Me: err no.. he's behind in the car
Chin: cannot la u! suyi's with me! (i think they had a cake there or something)
Me: OOPS.... k nvm bye (puts down the phone)
Chris: was that wei chin? what did she say?
Me: err.. she's busy to layan us, watching TV (HAHA!)
SO i devised a cunning scheme, go to canaan land and stay there as long as possible.. worked for 20 minutes, still half an hour to go.. drive really.. really.. slowly.. park at my house and waited in the car.. THE WHOLE TIME we were talking about God, churches, hearing God's voice, the young generation, planetshakers, (I was praying that he wouldnt suspect anything! haha)
After that I think he was a bit restless and said we should go makan now.. So i drove around again.. SLOWLY! purposely missed a couple of turnings (well i purposely missed my turnings all the way to Damansara Utama from taman megah (imagine that!) and we were still talking about God, devotions, christianity against other religions, denominations.. etc.. the worse part was the whole time people were sms'ing me and calling about 'the party'.. zi jie la!
Jie: Hey japh, you coming for chris party right? you guys here edy anot? where r u guys?
Me: err.. err... psst.. can u call wei chin ah?
Jie: huh, why call her, where r u?
Me: err.. go go call wei chin, psst.. not there yet! (puts down phone)
Chris: who was that? why call wei chin?
Me: err.. that was jie, i think he wanted to ask wei chin something! (HAHA!)
cut the story short, we arrived when everbody was there! it was a great supprise, he didnt guess anything! and we had a wonderful time reuniting with the old djcf gang.. long live cfsmkdj!!
So anyways.. that's about it for now.. besides waiting for my results on the 20th, Monash open day on the 16th, College camp on the 20-23rd in peaceheaven, and church youth camp on now actually.. reading through the whole bible in 70+ hours (crazy huh?)
Till then. it'll be more filing and data entries and dealing with lil kiddies at work..
ciouz!
