Horrid....

Super upset.

The leave for April that I applied on the very first few days of February has just been rejected.

The angry thing is. You guys said right from the start "For 3 or more days of Annual Leave have to apply 2 months in advance". So I applied 2 months in advance. But then now you tell me ma leave is too long, I have to reapply again. From February until now (end of March) you didn't even bother to check first if ma leave application was ok before allowin' me to submit. So much time (a bloody 2 full months) wasted on waitin' and now you say ma leave cannot be approved. So in the first place why should I even bother to apply leave so early since you will only look at our applications when the month of our leave is around the corner? Told you guys so many times to speed up on the approval or else I'm gonna be so out of ma budget for ma trip. So are you going to top up the difference now?

And I still have to look for people who are willing to change their off days with me so that I can make it for ma trip. But then again I will still need your bloody approval before I can go ahead with the booking of ma flight and hotel. Even if I can wait, ma friends might not!!!! If they decide not to go coz too last minute, then ma budget will be even more for the accommodation.... so damn freakin' angry can.

If I get a lot of money for ma March salary, that is STILL ok.... BUT apparently the salary I received last night didn't include the amount this stupid company owes me for the months of January and February as promised to give in that letter. What is this?!?!

Leave like that, salary also like that... Might as well pack ma bag and go.

Midnight shift tonight.... finally.

Haven't been on midnight shift ever since casino opened.... 1 full month has passed and finally tonight is the first midnight for me. Everyone else has done it except me and another colleague in ma team! Can't wait to work tonight... Must be super slack like what other colleagues said... Hahahaa. And not forgettin' the allowance for workin' midnight shift.

Come to think of it, in the past I had not much money but had alot of time. Now, I have more money but no time. So shit!! I seriously feel I'm very deprived of retail therapy...!!! This job can really make one exhausted... We have to bend our backs while workin'.... Furthermore sometimes when we enter the smoking zones, those smoke will be stuck to our make-up. We should be given more time off for massage and facial to make us look more refreshed at work!! If not we're gonna be ageing too prematurely. And I also want ma long trips like before!!! Hope more manpower will come soon....

Should take a nap soon... Don't wanna appear like a zombie by 5am....

Good news...!!!

Yesterday being 18 March 2010 was the opening of our Universal Studios Singapore theme park. ( Yahoo!Singapore news report ) I think it should be so damn crowded! But I couldn't see it ma'self coz I was in the casino all day all night long.

Talkin' about USS, they had a preview specially for the staff of RWS. And so I went on Monday with the rest of ma colleagues!! Had great fun under the scorching hot sun...

We watched the Shrek 4D show, took the ride at Revenge of the Mummy, and most importantly the highlight of the entire theme park - world's tallest duelling roller coaster Battlestar Galactica!!!!


Battlestar Galactica: Human VS Cylon.

Rode on Cylon, the blue track this time round. All the suspending and twirling like cockscrew. At some point it felt like we were goin' into the 4th dimension coz of the water mist. Furthermore sittin' beside me was a colleague who shares the same habit as me when ridin' on roller coaster... I shan't elaborate. Hahaha!

Now comes the good news.....

I've got a pay increment from ma company!!! That means I will be gettin' SGD 1,000 more than ma previous salary at ma previous company. And not forgettin' bonus - 2 months. But I can only get it in September.... Oh well... Increment is more important!!!

End of this month I will get ma revised pay plus additional money that ma company owes me and also ma Overtime pay.... Super lookin' forward!!!

And so I can have more money to spend in Korea next month... Woohoooo!!~

Finally it's 2 days off!!!

Omg.... I've been strugglin' for the past 7 days at work and badly lookin' forward to ma 2 rest days. Everyday I drag ma feet to work, doesn't seem like a good sign. Always workin' for more than 9 hours every workin' day. Even break times are so rushing. Sometimes the system doesn't cooperate, just like the "ghosts" we face everyday at work.

And every single day before the start of shift, I worry if I will be put "up" there which is HELL. Die there and how you die also nobody knows. Can't get help from anywhere and anyone; the only person who can help you is yourself. Shit.....

Yesterday was the last day of ma 7-day stretch. Super fortunately I was being stationed at Festive Grand counter where you don't get much disturbance from people. Been waitin' to be posted there for a long, long time ever since the opening of the counter...!! What an awwwesome way to end ma 7-day-long torture.... It's a wish come true!! But after ma dinner break I had to return to the usual work pace coz the counter closes in the evening. Oh well, it doesn't matter coz a guest complemented me for being "very good" and that cheered me up a little... Hehee.

On 8 March night (which is actually the 9th morning), ma Executive invited me to St James club for some chilling out with the rest of the colleagues so I headed there after ma work. Drank and played some games and did some bonding.... It's been such a long time since we last did that. Simply no time!!! *Sobs* Waitin' for the next session probably in May....

Last night a guest asked me about the 7-month bonus which we will be gettin'. I asked him where he heard this from, he said he read from the Chinese papers. Ma colleague also encountered a guest who asked her. Ma guest told me that ma company might wanna make a public announcement first just in case when Marina Bay Sands opens, people wanna hop over. But the thing is, we don't even know about this internally. So, true or not??? If there's really such a thing then, even if it will cost ma life I will still stick ma ass to this job.... hahahaha.

Hmmm I'm stilllll wonderin' if ma leave in April will be approved.....

First 5 days of March

Monday, 1 March: Sick leave

Tuesday, 2 March: Sick leave

Wednesday, 3 March: Off day

Thursday, 4 March:

Cashier at one of the counters, only in charge of redemption, nothing more, nothing less. Guests were nice to me, except for a few grumpy ones. An auntie even offered to buy Bak Kut Teh for me from one of the restaurants in here... haha. Tiring but happy. ^^

Friday, 5 March:

Crockfords Lounge. Best of the best of the best. Nobody in there except for Directors, Assistant Director and ma'self. Occasionally there were some outsiders poppin' in but other than that, I was just doin' some card processing for the Directors and ma colleague from the other department.

Even though I was up there for the very first time, one of the Directors was very good to me. She poured some of her cranberries in a bowl for me and put on ma desk. And then she made some coffee for her guests but her guests already had their coffee, so she passed me a cup and put on ma desk, and brought me a spoon and some sugar from the pantry area. I felt pampered! ;X

And chit chattin' with me throughout the day is the Assistant Director. At first I thought he was stuck up but after that when he struck a conversation with me, hmmmm he seems not that bad a person. But still I know I have to be wary of ma surroundings at work.

I was the first to finish ma work after shift, for the first time. This is the only day I could have a goooood rest at work ever since the opening day without strainin' ma throat and bendin' ma back too much, seriously. I don't mind being put up there again later today, lol.
