Rushed down from my job, but my poor estimation of time ended up with me being early and waiting for Candice and Audrey for half an hour plus plus! I changed at my workplace and gave everyone a big shock in my white dress haha. Anyway, it was good to see my squadmates again, after so long! :) The dinner was not bad I guess, and the 40th anniversary committee did a great job preparing for this event! Especially the mosiac. It was a nice big SJ gathering. Even Mr Kiw and Mr Sng came! I have to report in school by 7.30am tomorrow! Geee I'm tired out by consecutive days of late nights and early mornings out I rushed home to sleep after dance after making a special trip to TCCIHS at outram to collect my one day's worth of pay. $44! Okay not so bad haha. I want to get my paycheck from Royce soon! Yesterday was my last day working for Royce! Audrey, Candice and her family visited me, and I stuffed them with samples 'cos I'm so happy when I see my friends. :D Qianye and her friend dropped by too! I think they had some bball event in orchard haha.
Some memorable things happened during my days in Royce when...
1. I worked the morning shift.
There is an opening anthem in takashimaya every morning. There would be an announcement which says "Good morning everyone, and welcome to takashimaya department store..." So the music plays and all staff stand in front of their booth entrances and when the music ends everyone will bow. Then the customers would walk in and start shopping. I've always found this practice very amusing, and I like the bowing part! :D
2. I answered a call. It was from Yasser.
Me: Good afternoon royce.
Yasser: Is Mikami (the jap manager) here?
Me: Nope.
Yasser: Okay. Who are you?
Me: Royce.
Yasser: No, I mean who are you.
Me: Royce?
Yasser: What's your NAME?
Me: Oh! Hahaha, Elaine.
And later Ah Beng (Edison) who found out about this story called me "Royce" for the rest of the day...
3. I was cashiering.
I just learnt how to use the NETS and credit card payment machines yesterday and I was made to handle the whole counter on my own in the morning. -.- At first I didn't dare to touch the machines, and asked the customers to make payment with their cards at the taka cashier or pay me cash. Then later I decided to try.
A customer passed me her NETS card.
I slotted the card in the machine, and started pressing some buttons. I got stuck and stared at the machine.
Me: I'm so sorry, I'm new, so...
Customer: Uhh, you want me to help you?
And she cancelled the transaction and started pressing the NETS procedures herself! While I stood by her and studied what she was doing, also to make sure she typed in the correct amount she was supposed to pay. Gee my customer knows my job better than me! XD
4. Said tells me about his unbelievable education background.
"I re-took PSLE 5 times, retained 1 year for sec 1 and sec 2, and I'm waiting for my O level results now. I'm 22 this year." I'm still having trouble calculating to confirm whether this is true/ his lie is accurate!
5. The "nuttybuttys"!
Filzah was serving a customer, and I was next to her.
Customer: .... oh, and give me one nuttybutty.
I grinned, and when the customer left we burst out laughing. "Nuttybutty" is a very cute name for our signature nutty bars!
I really had fun working in Royce. Hehe and I'm happy they'll welcome me back whenever I want to work there again! :D
Photos here!
My view from the counter. Godiva is really colourful huh? Oh, and the stack of sales slips at the side is where I grabbed paper from when Jeff Wang was standing in front of where I took this picture from. :D
The cashier, the place where I make the most blunders! XD Most of the time I still get out of trouble by smiling... :)
My sinfully good FOC Godiva chocolate iceblend! :D Mr JJ made it for me manually because the machine which measures out proportion is out of order, but it tasted great! I had a chocolate high after that haha. Thank you sooo much! ^^
Me finishing my last bit of my chocolate drink, squatting down. Yeah we have to squat down when we eat/ drink at the counter, taka rules.
Filzah and me! Gee, this girl's good at camwhoring hahaha. 
Filzah, Said, me and Cempaka. The four silly camwhoring part timers!
This is what happens when it's the last day of work for part timers!
Filzah, me and Cempaka. :)
Me, Yaseer and Said. Yaseer loves to attack people with his killer stare, but he's very nice too! And Said's funny hehe. 
Me and Meekey, a friend I made from Leonidas, booth just back-to-back to Royce!
