Finally finished the last compulsory day of job week yesterday.. Quite satisfied with it larhs. At least got hit target of $220 =D Got $220.30 lols XD So cheapskate rite? 30 cents nia. Shall skip sunday coz i cant remember much about it except that we were washing cars and whole of sunday was crap. $35 bucks only =.= Everyone got scolded by sir yesterday morning for sunday's earnings. Said if everyone did not hit a minimum of $100 for the whole of yesterday, all must come back to do one extra day which is today. All obviously don't want come back so when we left macdonalds d whole group of us was running all over d place. We went to Joo Seng first thing in d morning. Except that we had an extra person. Our Sec 2 junior Keen Wah follow us. Cannot be bad seniors rite? So let him come along lorh. Reaching Joo Seng, we all split up and each took a flat. Goddamn larh, the whole flat 20+ floors end up I only got $3 from it.. Received a call from WeiYuan, d whole group of them went to d semi-detached part already and I still at d flats =.= I took d lift down and ran to d semi-detached that area. Met up with them and split up again, each person taking a segment. ZhenJie, BoonChong n KeenWah together, Vincent and WeiYuan together. Left me one person doing X.x
Everyone did quite well esp WeiYuan and Vincent. Since it started raining at around 11+ and I was with WY and Vincent at that time( no idea where d other 3 were) we all decided to go to d food court for drinks while waiting for the rain to stop. Each one of us had around 40+ at that time.
While we were drinking, I was furiously spamming sms-es getting ppl to donate. Thanks to all who generously donated to me! =D Next time got any donation stuff can come to me ya? Will return d favour ^^ When d rain stopped for a while, we went back with me having about 50+ at the time ^^ Didn't manage to get much so i called my mother to see if she could get us a job at her office. She managed to get one for us so we left at about 12+ and headed for Raffles Place. Met up with my mom and she treated us to lunch. Thanks mom! =D At 2, Vin, Yuan and me went to d office to find her. Wah walk into her office liao damn fcuking stress.

EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE ALL LOOKED AT US LEH WAH SIAO! We 3 like super paiseh la.. We were supposed to sort out some files and throw away the old files while putting the ok ok ones into a box and carry some stacks of papers down from the 31th to the 30th floor. Didn't take us very long. Only about 45 mins at the most. The most fun part was all of us walking down the stairs and fumbling about trying to open the doors coz all our hands were full. Den getting stuck outside the office because someone closed the doors and we either needed someone to open it from d inside or someone with a passcard to open from the outside lol. After the job was done, went to look for the guy in charge. That guy wasted almost 1 and a half hours of our time.. While waiting, we were all guessing how much he would give us. After we finally managed to find him, he gave us $2 each =.= I mean, which part of "Please give a fair amount after the Scout has finished his task" does he not understand? Waste so much of our time somemore.. Then we thanked him(grudgingly..) and left d office n went to one side. We all go curse him like mad. At that time was about 2.40 or so already and we all only had about 50-60 bucks only.. Still $40 short of the minimum $100 with only 2 hours to go. How to get?! We were damn pissed at the point la. So while in d MRT back to braddel, we were discussing where to go next. Ask for jobs at SPH or Yellow Pages?
We didn't want that for risk of getting that "$2 treatment" again after spending so much time.. The two of them were complaining so much that I was getting pissed at them >.> So after we left d MRT station, I didn't say anything and just walked in d opposite direction from them to another block to look for jobs. Wasted 20mins at that block and not getting anything did nothing to help my already pissed mood at that point.

Went home to drink some water to cool myself down. Tried to contact ZJ and Vincent but both couldn't be contacted. Vincent was because his phone was out of battery like mine. WeiYuan couldn't be called because he was left with only 19cents in his prepaid card. I left and went opposite my block to the newer houses. After spending some time there, my mood was getting better and better. There were quite a few donations of $5 and $10. To add on to that, the residents were quite warm. Was talking to a particular grandma who could speak in english. Spent about 10minutes talking to her. She gave me $5 and I really appreciated the gesture. She wasn't working at all yet she still took out $5 to donate to me. It meant a lot to me compared to some idiot who gave us $2 earlier.. Then there was this guy. When i asked him for donations after failing to get a job, he reached out for his wallet but after he found out his wallet was empty, he told me to wait and he went to get some coins before walking into his room. I was thinking he was gonna give me $2 or so only but he came out with a red note! $10 leh! I was damn surprised larh =D He wasn't that old, around 15 or possibly younger yet he donated $10 to me. SHAME ON YOU, 2 DOLLARS MAN! Wrapped up one whole block and got about $40. It was about 6 at that time. Supposed to meet at Braddel Mac at 5.30 >.> Ran there like mad cow. Reached there and guess what? Not even half of them were there. Waste my effort sia..

Counted my money and got $101. Adding up my previous earnings on Sat and Sunday, i found that i was short of d target by a small amount. Used a bit of my money to top the remainder balance. If you hit d target for jobweek got badge ma. Past 2 years was always slacking the whole day at ZhenJie house on the last day because of the conception that on weekdays money sure damn hard to get because everyone all out working. So always no badge. Finally managed to prove myself and the misconception wrong because I also thought I wouldn't be able to get $100 for d whole day. Stayed back till about 8+ at Mac playing psp with d gang while waiting for everyone to count and tally up the total money. Before we left, Sir was talking to me. He gave me a personal feedback saying he observed that I wasn't too courteous towards my peers coz I was always shouting at them. Didn't realize it at first. Don't tell me it was subconsious behaviour? I had better watch myself from now on.. To anyone whom it may concern: Sorry if I had unwittingly shouted at you. Sincere apologies >.< Forgive me ya? ;D

Due to jobweek, my homework has been untouched.. Going back to school for whole day on thursday. Vincent,WeiYuan, Boonchong and I along with some others are building a gateway by request of the Guides and NCC land for their combined camp. In return, we're invited to their campfire in the night =D Need to start doing my homework or else I'm gonna be behind time.. Lets review by to-do list:
4 Geog newspaper cuttings
Geog Erosional and Depositional thingy writeup
Try the Physics WS on the bus
Bio FYS (3/4 done already)
Maths SLU
SS WS
Finish reading that lame Roald Dahl compilations.
Plus a proposal supposed to be completed by 22 march for the full day hike the Sec 3's going for with Sir. Gonna get killed if the proposal is not done by then..

My wish for tomorrow shall shatter my soul.
