* day 3 . 021207 [afternoon] .

as expected of a typical sunday , the customer turnout at Watsons was very heavy .
especially during the early hours of nightfall (from 8pm) .
saw adeline with her sis and mother in the afternoon , as well as my parents and aunt at night .
today's customers were even more demanding compared to the previous two days .
one of them asked if the store sells water dispensers ; i replied that it's not available here after checking with the counter staff .
then she went on to ask me whether i knew the outlets which do sell the dispenser .
and obviously , i didn't know (didn't say that so bluntly , of course) .
so she pressed on by asking for the contact number of the other stores .
fortunately the counter staff passed me a catalogue at this point .
but even after i gave her the catalogue she wasn't appeased .
next , she wanted me to call the outlet at hougang green .
i did attempt to do so but unfortunately the line was constantly engaged .
and finally she gave up and left (with a black face , unsurprisingly) .
yeah .
so that was the first major event with regards to demanding customers .
but other than that event , everything went quite okay .
today was also the last day at work for Sean , one of my colleagues .
he was scheduled to work for just one week as allocated by Kelly Services in view of the possible heavy workload next year in JC2 .

* day 4 . 031207 [morning] .

had to work overtime today .
was supposed to end at 6pm but only could go home two hours later .
all thanks to a large quantity of stocks arriving from 4.30 .
if i didn't count wrongly it's about four trolley loads full of supplies .
just the unpacking already gave the store manager and supervisor loads of headache .
and the shelving and sorting out was equally horrible .
my other colleagues all said this scenario is common for mondays since it is the beginning of a new week .
in addition , i met my primary school friends , Xiuxuan and Cynthia , in late morning .
i also made a trip to Watsons at hougang avenue 1 where i had to collect some 100 pieces of neutrogena face mask (if i remember correctly) .

tomorrow is my off day .
yay .
the perfect reward after toiling for four straight days . (:
will again be working in morning shift on wednesday though .

those memories. 23:00
