My bro cuzzie now living in aussie once told me,
never ever to work with your friends or someone close to you.
He said, conflicts would definately happen. And he said, 'just dont la.'
I was so young, i didnt really believe it but neither did i forget it.

As i grew up, i worked..
With my really really best cuzzies.
Never have we had conflicts,
probably its cuz Serene is like super nice.
And Zheng, even though sometimes hes too dao for his own good,
hes got a good heart and he knows when to be nice xDD

The two are and still will always there for me, Serene and Zheng.
Like.. i can talk any shit in front of them and not feel embarassed.
I can tell them anything in the world.. Except that i watch porn xDD

Well.. you see this post here is not about zheng or serene.
Its actually about *

I use * cuz i wouldnt want her to be embarassed even though i bet she wouldnt even see this.

Well its like this shes kinda like the head for our uncle's office when hes away.
Whenever she needs people to work part-time, she would look for me, zheng or serene.
So.. now serene and zheng has school,
obviously she would only ask me to help out.

I worked like for a few days only.. On and off..
The fact is, i dont like to work there.
and i'll tell her that im not free or i have something on.

But this time, when i told her i cant work for them anymore cuz im gonna go work in national library, * actually told me...

CONVERSATION

me: eh jie ar
me: i dont think i can work for you guys liao lei
me: this week im not free
me: then next week im gonna start working at national library
*: boooohoooo
me: sorry!
*: boohoooooo
*: u starting on Monday?
me: yep
me: paisei!
me: cuz my fren work there
me: then hes poly starting soon
me: then the library need ppl to replace
me: so he ask me lor
*: ok.. u're not my favourite cousin anymore.. haha

The other time, if you guys read the older post.

I was asked to clean the paint on the floor of the whole hall,
cuz they renovated and the paint actually spilled all over the place.

Hey, i was asked to do bangala job and actually had to use my barehands to soak the cloth with thinner to clean up the mess till my hand actually got ichty and sore cuz of the thinner. And i got paid only 5 dollars an hour.
HELLO!!!! You pay money ask people to clean is like at least 30 bucks la.
And still i came the next day to work.

If you think the 5 bucks youre paying me is alot then sorry..
My buddies all, work at taka, heeren all that.
Get 5 dollars, but got aircon blow lor..
Got people come just entertain, no customer then see chio bu.
Then if the customer come, buy something, you still get 1% commission lor..
Dont laugh at 1% cuz the watches there are like few hundred to thousand dollars.
So if you sell a 300 bucks one you get 3 dollars commission.
Just like that, easy.. got sell nvr sell also got normal pay take.

And its like heeren, orchard all that..
Take one mrt reach already.
Finish work still can shopping,
wan leave early also can just tell your buddy then can run already.
And you can fucking take vouchers meant for customers to use when promotion over.
Like a 200 bucks crystal jade voucher. Or nike or somethin..

And the reason why i didnt work for ck watch is cuz you ask me to come help work sometimes.
I have to wake up at 7.30am, take train and then take bus.
Thats like train for $1.40 and bus for like $1.
That would be $2.40...
Go there come back $4.80 already..
My one hour pay gone.
Meaning if i come to work,
i have to work one hour for nothing. ( 1 HOUR NO PAY )
What about lunch?! Its like $3..
Sometimes ah ma treat la so nvm dont count.

So i work for 8 hours a day for 35 dollars and i lose an hour of my life cuz of travelling.
You still count the minutes im late for work and pay accordingly.. with cents..
I still must take train and take bus and so far.. Stupid bus dont come sure late la.
You said i used to be your favourite cousin.
Would i treat my favourite cousin like that???
NO. If i were the boss or the in charge i'll pay him well lor please.
And i would NEVER EVER LEAVE MY FAVOURITE COUSIN ALONE OUTSIDE AT THE SHOWROOM TO CLEAN PAINT ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THINNER WITH BARE HANDS THAT THE THINNER IRRITATES HIS HANDS AND PAY HIM 5 DOLLARS AN HOUR.
You arent even losing money or something.
And i come all the way here for 8 hours of work for sometimes $33.45 cents..

Do you know at the library.. i get to slack??
I just have to sit at the redemption counter, drink beer and wait for people come collect things. And i get paid 6 dollars an hour.. And its at bugis. So near my place. I take there and take home only 1 dollar plus only.
Work finish still can go arcade play street fighter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY.
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT HOW FAR THE PLACE WAS, HOW TROUBLESOME.
IT IS ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ME, HOW MUCH YOU PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SAID THAT TO ME, I REALLY FELT RELIEVED CUZ I WILL NEVER BE WORKING THERE AGAIN?!?
YOUR FAVOURITE COUSIN IS SOMEONE, YOU CAN MANIPUTLATE.
SOMEONE YOU CAN USE WHENEVER YOU LIKE, SOMEONE WHO CAN COME AND WORK WHEN YOU NEED.
AND SOMEONE WHOM YOU'LL WILL CALL ONLY WHEN YOU DONT NEED HIM.

Do you know why i stopped learning piano from you and looked for another teacher??
NO ITS NOT CUZ I DONT WANNA LEARN FROM YOU ANYMORE.
Its cuz you were super busy.. i thought you needed some time alone with your husband on sundays. And not waste them on me.

I BET YOU ONLY THINK. AHH I NEED PEOPLE COME WORK.
OKAY CALL YEESIANG, CUZ HE NOT SCHOOLING, LET HIM EARN 5 DOLLARS AN HOUR LAAAAA.

Ps: so i suppose my bro cuzzie living in aus now is right..
Somehow.. Still..
i didnt work with..
i worked for..
i suppose hes like half right.. or a quarter.  ¶ 2:07 PM
