First day at work...

Assalamualaikum semua! Khekhekhekhe...! Selamat Berpuasa ye..

Aku baru habis sahur..it's 5.25am now. Tadi makan chicken spaghetti aku beli kat 7-eleven semalam malam..cam dlm kol 11.25pm. Hehe..sempat pulak aku keluar mlm-mlm. Tapi, bukan lah kluar sorang-sorang. Aku kluar dgn my first sis dan mak aku. Kiter gi saner nk beli minuman tuk sahur...tapi end up beli spaghetti for myself, roti dan ice cream!! Hehe.. kiter makan ice cream dlm perjalanan pulang dari saner.

Semalam was tiring yet the besh day! 2 days ago, Cik Linda smsed aku, suruh aku gi interview. Aku sampai tmpt werkplacenyer, at Lot 1, 15mins late sey. Aku terus panicked. Bas plak tu dtg lambat. Tapi, Cik Lin tak marah. She's cool. Biler bebual ngan dier, cam bkn interview...cam bebual ngan seorg kwn. Khekhe.. Kak Innah pun ader sana. Kak Innah dah setahun keje full-time at Cik Lin's shop. Lepas dah ckp-ckp, kiter chow. I have to start work the next day at 3:30pm.

The werkplace im working is at Lot 1. It's a pushcart shop that sells malay clothes. I will be working on wkends je. Gaji nyer boleh tahan jugak. $4 per hour. Yesterday, I worked for 6hours...end at 9:30pm. Aku sampai tmpt keje aku 10mins earlier.. hehe..semangat katakan. Jumpa Kak Innah. Dia ajar aku the price of the things, cam mana nak discountkan and how to approach the customer. Yang part aku panick sgt ialah the price sebab aku ni kan slow learners..tak ingat sangat harga benda.

Then, biler Kak Innah gi solat, aku kenalah pandai-pandai jage kedai. Abeh ader satu makcik ni tanyer about the size of the clothes. Aku tgk baju tu tak letak size pun. Aku panick lagi ar. Luckily, time tu Kak Innah baru je habis solat. Aku terus tanyer dier. Dier ckp kalau baju tak de size, it means free size lah. Haha..selenger lah aku.

Ader jugak satu customer melayu remaja ni. Kalau tgk pada luarannyer, u thinks she's a very roudy minah. Tapi, biler aku attend dier. Okay jugak...dier bebual ngan kiter cam kwn sendiri. She said that she's doing last min shopping to buy a present for her kakak ipah nyer bday hari tu. She asked me to choose the colour of the kurta and match it with tudung. Haha..i feel special sey. I choose her the black colour kurta coz it look catching. Tapi..hmmx.. nak sesuaikan dgn tudung yang maner satu sey? Aku tercarik-carik lah tudung yang matching. Nasib Kak Innah tolong aku. Dia pilihkan tudungnyer. Hehe..

Got one makcik asked me for the price of the pant suit. Aku jwb, "Hm...erm..ah...". Jadi, makcik tu tanyer, "Dah lupa?". "A ah..maaf cik. Saya baru keje kat sini". "Ouh..tak pe lah". Alermak! Ape kene mengena ngan aku ni. Dah lupa plak. Habis..habis. Then, Kak Innah have to re-tell the price to me all over again. Aku hafalkan. My third sis dtg ke kedai tu pass kan aku duit tuk buka. Kak Innah ckp I look older than my sister.. alermakz.. selalu cam gini sey. Yana pun ckp yang aku ni look more mature. I dont look like the youngest sis. Ish...kakak aku ni awek muda kirakan. Hehe...

Aku tanyer Kak Innah mana nk ambek wuduk. Dier ckp kat Handicapped toilet...aku terperanjat ar. Aku ngat ader satu bilik ari khas untuk wuduk. Apa yang buat aku terkilan lagi ialah tmpt solat nyer, Kak Innah tunjukkan. Actually, it was an isolated stairways...no one usually go there. Seram jugak tmptnyer..very very quite. Tebangkan tikar to Kahbar dan mulakan solat asar aku. Aku harap-harap tak de org lalu lalang kat saner. Yang lagi teruk, ader security camera. So, we have to be careful lah..jgn biar sampai ia nmpk kiter solat. Kak Innah ckp, "Ni bukan tmpt Malaysia dek..Singapore, cam mana nak paham ttg kiter ni." Tul jugak kata dier..

Aku berbaul dengan Kak Innah cam aku dah kenal dier lama. Hehe...kiter bebual non-stop walaupun kiter berpuasa. She told me about our shop rival with Jurong Point and everything related to our boss and the shop. Kak Innah akan berhenti bekerja in the mid December to sambung belajar near Mesir. The first time I saw her, I thought dier minah fairy. But once I speak to her..hmmx..ok jugak dier, kuat agama. She never studied at circular school..only at madrasah.

Ah! Ader jugak a group of aunties ni dtg ke kedai tu tuk beli skirt labuh. One of the aunties tanyer aku, "Eh! U think this one fits me or not?" "Hmm..erm..ok ok ar". "Ah? Really ar? Im fat leh..no bigger size ar?". "Hmm..sorry no. But i think this one can lah..". Then Kak Innah dtg. Dia tanyer lah Kak Innah. Wah..she's very opened. Dier ckp, "For your size ar.. too small leh. Choose this skirt ar. Looks nice on you..." Bagus jugak eh Kak Innah bebual ngan customer. She dont feel hurt at all. Aunty tu ketawa dan ckp, "Aiyoh! U c..she's more experience...". Abeh Kak Innah ckp, "No lah..she havent yet one day work. " "Ouh..no wonder..hehe!"

Then, from that time onwards, aku dah comfortable wif my work..no more panicking. Aku bebual ngan customer openly with politeness ar. "Hmm..cik, ni colour tak sesuai ar. Pilih colour ni lah...lawah tau kalau cik pakai". Hehe...amacam? Ader jugak satu makcik ni gossip ttg suami nyer yang tgh tunggu dier pilih baju. I told her to buy two..sebab lagik murah. But she whispered to me.."Eh...tak boleh lah dek. Nanti ader boss tu marah..hehe" while pointing to her husband. Haha! Kelakar jugak eh makcik tu.. gerek..

Ada makcik-makcik yang lain suruh aku ukurkan badan mereka..ada juga yang suruh aku pilihkan dorang warna dan pattern baju dan suruh dorang dtg lagik beli byk-byk. Woah..feel like werking there for years man. Leh kenal kenal dgn ramai pelanggan.

10mins before masuk waktu maghrib, aku gi beli Tom Yam chicken meal kat KFC. The cashier nama Zulkifli kelakar sey. "Nak yg colonial meal tau special meal nyer?" "Huh? What the difference?" "Yang colonial meal nth special ar. Kalau yang special nyer, lagi besh..ader ayam, air..bla bla bla.." "heheh..ok je lah". Terpikat pulak aku kat dektu. =p

Aku buka sama-sama ngan Kak Innah kat kedai tu. Yum yum..the Thai nasi goreng Kak Innah beli looks tempting sey. Should have bought that instead of the Tom Yam chicken...tak sedap sgt.

Time nk tutup kedai penat giler sey. Kena lipat baju and make sure everything is secure. It was damn tiring...yet fun!!! Tak regret sey keje kat sana... i love my part-time job..=D.

Kesian aku tgk Yana, Fatt dan Nathiney, susah sey dorang nk carik keje. Lagi-lagi, Yana. Semlm pagi aku temankan dier carik keje. Kluar kedai je, muka dah masam. Tapi, dier tak kan give up nyer! Heheh..you go gal. Harap-harap she will be employ soon.
