I promised my friend, Weizhong to write this blog.Title: My Most Gruelling 5 days of our life.

The past 5 days were hell to the both of us, both of us went to work together. The workplace was in Potong Pasir( surprise surprise) and both of us god damn travelling from west to Potong Pasir for 5 days. I give u a brief intro of what we went through.

Workplace: Potong Pasir
Job Scope: Sealing Ziplock Bags

Before u spew " what the fuck, sealing ziplock bags!??" yes, all we did was to seal up the ziplock bags, those which we used during army to put clothes and fieldpack items. No doubt, it is god damn simple, doesn;t take any grey matter up there in my brain to perform the task. I wasn;'t even using my brain when working.

It was horrible because we have 50,000 ziplock bags to seal, works out to be 150 boxes of ziplock bags lorz. It was madness because we were paid by project basis. Means that we were being paid a certain amount for finishing the work, not hourly rate. Both of us were determined that 1 week of work was enough for us, as we would lose out if we couldn't finish and spill over to monday. The result: Race against Time.

The working hours were 9-5.30, but the perm staffs start to chase us out around 5.15. I tell u, normally vacation job is supposed to be slack, and we would hope for end of the day to come. Not in this job. Both of us was hoping 5.30 wouldn;t come so soon, cos there were still stacks of ziplock bags waiting for us. I was still maintaining standard during first 2 days, ensuring every bag was sealed. By the 3rd day, i was starting to fuck care, and sealing 6 bags at a go. Weizhong witnessed my strict QC to a simply fuck care and being a devil. If you were me, would u stick to ur principle, or do what i did?

Anyway, we did managed to finish on friday, exactly on 4.15. We were god damn relieved that we dun have to come back on Monday! Yeahz...and we happily went to the office to collect our reward for our hard work. Both of us had the impression that each of us would take home $200 this week, but when we looked that cheque...It was $125!!!! WTF!!! and the extra $25 was given to both of us because we took longer than they expected..HUHZ???? so the whole thing was worth $200, not each person!!

I was of cos not very pleased because, it works out to be like $2.50/hr...less than what the Macdonald auntie would earn lorz, and i am a god damn undergrad!!! Stupid work, peanuts pay, wah lau i must be crazy lehz

Anyway, i tink i will go to heaven lahz, at least i did charity work this week by sealing ziplock bags. But on the way to heaven, i will curse the company first.
