ain't so much of an avid blogger these days.sorry guys, i just ain't so much of a blogger these days. i know i promised to blog every once in a while to update on how life is going for me down below but my fingers dont itch anymore for the keyboard. instead, im back to the old-fashion texting on my phone, which i reckon would pinch a small hole in my pockets the next time i get my bill:D
a whole month's passed already since my arrival here in perth on the 23rd of feb. during which, many of you would have been busy applying to your local universities upon receiving your A level results just earlier this month. i hope all's good?
anyway, during the past few weeks, much has happened of which i have yet to update you. but one at a time. we'll start with
1. Driving
we're finally started on parking on my 7th lesson. in that one hour lesson, we did head-on and reverse parking. yes, i was that bad at my basic driving that i needed a few more lessons to up my confidence level while im at the wheel. it was really an improvement from the past few lessons where i couldnt seem to do my left- right turns without going onto a curb or threatening to scrape the side of the road from making a wrong angle turn. thank god. now rima can finally sit back in her passenger seat w/o having to interfere much while im driving on the roads except when she's teaching me.
2. Job
i'm not sure if many of you would have known but i got retrenched with the rest of my working collegues from Donut King during the second week of march. change of ownership- the new store manager/owner apparently bought over the 2 stores in Carousel leaving my current boss and baker jobless as well. (rolls eyes) so much for an 'asian helping out another asian' - thank god he isnt Singaporean if not i would have cried. he is so stubborn! even after much of the head office's pleas to retain the current staff, before he settles into the job- he still went ahead and retrenched everyone except for 4 of our current staff so as to continue store operations. how smart. apparently he's not into hiring anyone above 20 so that only leaves me with a year more before i turn 20.
anyway, ann made a bet with me. she reckons that DK would be unable to survive one month under his care, i gave him two- since we were both retrenched ha, we both bet on one donut since its all we can afford without pay salary.
we all moved on and found new jobs, others gave up on complaining on their loss and are now on their way to looking for new work. i found new work- aroma cafe near my place. the location's good- it's just 7 mins from my place meaning i can choose to work late on thursday nights when the shops open till 9.30pm and mum could fetch me home thereafter since its so near. my new bosses are sisters in partnership and they're really nice. the pay's not as good but it should be more than enough to tide over this economic downturn.
3.School
not much has happened in school- most of the mid semester tests happen right after easter break which starts the two weeks right after this week:D not to mention the week my birthday falls in is loaded with tests and assignments. horrible really. im just glad my birthday falls on the friday which means late night clubbing on the weekend with the girls should work out fine;D
