31 Oct - 1 Nov 2009: The New Beetle (Cabriolet)

this time round, i requested to work for a day only due to filming on sunday :x
luckily it was allowed :)
thanks dennis for helping me to arrange!!
Its HALLOWEEN!!!
i already got invitations to birthday & HW party but i had to turn them down due to this work
i hope i had made the right choice :x
money in better than money out, right right??

supposed to meet 745am at Redhill mrt station
but i couldnt make it on time
in the end cabbed down as dennis asked me to be there asap due to many unforeseen circumstances :x

the sight that greeted me outside the showroom :D
pretty!
love the red beetle! ^^
VW always use sunflower decorations for their beetle
and mind you, the sunflowers are real o.O
Photobucket Photobucket

walked into the showroom and saw this:
Photobucket Photobucket

o.O a beetle covered with real sunflowers
pretty?
i thought it look quite ugly
like "花车" :x

the other beetle wasnt decorated until so intense though
the crabriolet beetle :)
simple and nice!
Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket the price o.O and the fuel comsumption for this fellow is heavy one can

i was the first to reach at 810am
hahahas
the rest were still walking fromm Redhill mrt station to the showroom
they reached shortly and our first job for all shows were always to fill the paint for window arts for kids' corner
Photobucket Photobucket

this time round we had a few new faces
most of them i already knew as they were my friends too :p
but Zann and Mike and Guolong couldnt make it on the last minute :(
this time we had 13 ppl excluding dennis who will only be working tml as he got things on today
he will stay half day before he handover to me to be in-charge for the rest of the day :x
that explains why i had to be early :x

briefing was next
just to let us know our roles for the day
no test drive counter this time
but new things were; donut kiosk and polaroids
Photobucket i was tasked to do, the polaroids of course :p hahahas
this polaroid camera was different from the ones i always handle though
the film was bigger and the camera had more settings to choose from :)

Jiajia was put at the donut kiosk :D
Photobucket Photobucket
donuts from donuts' factory
1000 for one whole day :x
can finish all mehx?

me and Jiajia :D
Photobucket Photobucket

Photobucket test shot for my polaroid camera :)

i dont know why when other ppl test shot me, thee pictures all nt as nice one :(
very sad~~
see the difference of Jia's pic and the rest which had me in them :(
Photobucket Photobucket

more refreshments provided to customers throughout the day
ice cream, popcorns and cotton candy were a must already
Sean and Serene first time working at VW :)
Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket Photobucket

this is Jaryl
i took unglam unposed pics of him in the last show :p
so i make him pose properly for nicer pics this time :)
Photobucket Photobucket

people started streaming me only at 9-ish going 10am
i am not hoping for a huge crowd though
its VW Beetle lehx :x
Photobucket Photobucket

12pm came and lunch time was the most stressful for me
cause i got to make sure that all 13 of us gets to eat and everybody's position was covered for while they eat
i started the rotation to cover others first with Jonathon :)
first to go eat is the kids' corner people

as we cover for them
can really see theres not much crowd in the showroom
Photobucket Photobucket

waiting...for kids to come and for the kids' corner people to finish lunch :)
Jonathon was feeling very cold..hahahas
so he sat in the corner
Photobucket Photobucket

finally me and Jiajia took the last to go for lunch
it was ok for the both of us as we werent really famished
i had a donut earlier and standing in front of donuts the whole morning dont really create much appetities
especially when we are not donut lovers in the first place

lunch was:
Photobucket chicken rice..hahahs..nothing much to expect la! :p

Photobucket after lunch, washing hands before going back :)

the whole day was spent looking ard making sure that everybody is alright
polaroids does not generate a lot of business (though its free) as most ppl shy away from cameras (unlike me :p)
met a few very cute kids
spent most of my time at the donut kiosk chatting with Jiajia, making rounds to butler donuts

at the kiosk :p
Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket Photobucket

and as we all painfully waited for the time to pass
Photobucket 630pm finally come!!! ends at 7pm! :D

BUT the sky got to turn uber dark and its started raining super heavily!!!! :(
Photobucket Photobucket

we started packing up slightly before 7pm as the already no crowd situation was even bleaker due to the rain
was feeling very disappointed by the rain as i was supposed to meet baby and Bob & Shiyun at CCK asap after work
we were planning to go Night Safari :x

while clearing up
we took polaroids for our own keepsake :p
Photobucket

short debrief after clearing everything up
we all 10 boxes of donuts to share among us to bring back as there were a lot of leftovers o.O
i didnt take any though as it will be inconvenient for me

Photobucket saw this pretty green beetle before leaving
isnt the shade of green duper nice?? :D

decide to cab to CCK as even though i got bring umbrella, the rain was too heavy to walked in
share cab with Jonathon, his gf and their friend
got a call from baby that to tell me that i dont have to rush down le as the halloween tram for night safari was fully solded out :(
upon meeting up with baby at CCK, we had dinner at Macs
it wasnt a happy one
i guess the past few days had accumulated quite a lot of stubborness and misunderstanding
yup
he thought i know but i didnt and i was thinking something else =.=
we did thrashed everything out though
hopefully the same thing wouldnt happen again :)

Bob and Shiyun didnt get to buy the halloween tram tickets too
so they came back to CCK to meet me and baby
after separate dinners
we met back at the cinema, wanting to watch "Poker King"
but its wasnt showing
so we decide to watch "This Is It" :)

Photobucket Photobucket

i was never a fan of MJ
his ups and downs, fames and scandals never appeals to me other than being just another read
but after watching this movie
i really feel its a pity that we lost someone great in the industry
and he doesnt look like he was fifty la!!!
how many fifty year olds can sing and dance and be a professional as him???
i think very few or even none lo!
i had a newfounded respect for this King Of Pop :)
and somehow, though he died, he died at his peak and so he will always live in all the heart of his fans :)

i nodded off a few times in the show though :x
was too tired after a long day of standing :(

back home :)
trying to use up my camera battery :p
Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket Photobucket hearts my long long eyelashes!! ^^

filming will commence early tml morning :)
is excited!
i hope we will end early though, not early as in the wee hours :x
xoxo, Amber ♥

Off-in-lieu
Friday, October 30, 2009 at 11:21 PM
cleared my Deepavali off-in-lieu today
i didnt sleep till too late though
got to reach grandma house at 830am as instructed by mummy
there was going to be a ritual for grandpa and i am the representative for my family

reached there slightly late
i just couldnt make myself wake up earlier as i was still missing that 7 hours of sleep lost while filming on wed night :x
nothing had started yet and i was told that it would be at 1030am!
mummy lied to me!!! :(
only the adults were around
none of my cousins reached yet
so i went to use my brother's com in their room
luckily i still got internet to use and pass time! :)

about 1030am
most ppl had arrived
mainly my mummy's siblings (my uncles & aunts)
and a few of those older generation relatives
of cousins, only Jiajia and Guolong could make it including me
the whole ritual lasted for slightly more than an hour
we had lunch after burning the offerings etc

went back in front of the computer to rot after lunch
Jiajia took these pics with my camera
Photobucket Photobucket

had no plans until dinner
filming was postponed till sunday due to location problem
the 3 of us wanted to go out
but none of us can decide where to go
rahhhs
by the time we drag and drag
we decide to rot until we need to go off :p
i had dinner appointment with baby at causeway
Jiajia need go to school (RP) for a while
Guolong and gf and his mummy were watching movie at causeway too
so we all went off together and bus-ed till woodlands :)

baby reached not long after i reached
we had decided to have Pizza Hut for dinner
but wasnt too hungry yet
so we went walking around :)
spotted Cotton On!!! :D
i couldnt resist :p
Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket Photobucket

the tees were nice no??? :p
and the dress! ^^
couldnt decide to buy anot
so we went out and window shopped a bit more

went for dinner shortly :D
Photobucket there wasnt any queue! weetx!!! ^^

waiting for our food!
was hoping that the pizza would come earlier and not 20 minutes later as told to us by the waitress
hahahas
hungry lehx!
Photobucket Photobucket

finally the pizza came!! :D
curry chicken toppings for the twist and dip pizza
got crashed nachos and cheese to dip in! :D
asking for refill would means top up of some money
$1 for cheese and $1.50 for the nachos chips if i didnt remember wrongly
Photobucket Photobucket

Photobucket the cheese~~~~!!!! hahahas

the pizza proves to be a bit small for both of us though :x
hahahahs
so we ordered 2 more sides :)

Photobucket honey glazed chicken wings :D nice!!!

the other order for criss fries didnt came when we had finished everything
and since i was feeling a bit full le
we decided to cancel the order and bill
but after we billed, the fries came! =.=
baby suggested to just eat it which i was reluctant to do so
cause for one, i was full le and two, i just cant do something that seems wrong :x
in the end, we told the manager what happened, she had the fries cleared and we went off

window shopping again
my mind was still thinking about the stuffs in Cotton On
so we went back :p
the tees dont have my size anymore though :(
sad!
bought only the dress in the end
i hesitated though
do i need it?
was standing in front of the cashier thinking when a staff asked if i was waiting to make payment
baby replied her yes before i could say anything
hahahas
so i bought it :p
is loving the dress still! the floral prints are very nice!

by the time we went off, its already 10+pm
how time flies!!
tml gonna be an early morning again due to work :x
though i always whine about working temp jobs over the weekends
the thought of earning rather than spending on the weekends always shuts me up
jiayou to myself!!! i can do this!!! :D
xoxo, Amber ♥
