Woke up at 6:05am. This isn’t any Saturday morning; it’s the first day I will be working in 新龙 suppling company. Still half unconscious, I unwilling drag my leg to the toilet. Brushed my teeth, washed up, I went to eat my breakfast made by my mum. Many questions are still fresh in my mind, but prefer not to post it. After I ate my breakfast, I bathed and make my way to the nearby bus-stop. I was late, again. Sorry Yu Hui for being late again, apologising again too. I took a quick glance at my hand phone, just to remind myself about the time. Soon bus 913 arrived, and I aboard the bus. The journey seems longer than normal, maybe I’m haunted by my guilt towards fishy? Anyway, I reached causeway point at around 7:20am. I lost my way in the bus interchange, but manage to find the bus-top with the bus 856 number imprinted on the overhanging “thing” loll. We waited for a good 15 minute before the bus came. Along the journey I was quite quiet, since I’m quite tense and of course looking forward to meeting new friends. Reached there at approximately 7:50am, 10 minute earlier: D! Life was going to be different, I thought to myself, and it was true. Firstly, we went to the boss office to “report in”. The boss isn’t in?! We went to the office “meeting room” and waited. We waited for a good 1 hour before we were being transfer to the packing room. Secondly, the toilet seems like some isolated creepy toilet, even fishy said so. The toilet flushing handle isn’t normal too, seriously! Thirdly, the packing room has a weird smell. Yu Hui doesn’t smell it, but it is definitely different from the air in the open! We were then tasked to do some sort of “tie-knot” thing on a square container. Had some fun and crapping with fishy, and of course some good competition hehe! I can roughly gauge that we had done like 700-800 together today, tough day isn’t it! Worked from 8am to 5pm, with 30 minute lunch break! We only need to pay $2.30 for our lunch, cheap!!! Decent food, friendly work mates, but fucking salary. We can only collect our salary at end of month, and it’s only $3.80 per hour. After some smart math calculation, we estimated that we can earn approximately $930 before New Year! I’m going buy the things I want, do something with my hair, pay back mum $70 and give the rest to parent! Everyone must have a positive mindset. You can think that you had lost to other people, but you cannot think that you lose to yourself, never! |
