New Chapter in My Life: My First Full Time Job

It all started with "Hi Ruby this is Violet calling from *D... pte ltd* i would like to arrange an interview appointment. can you pls call me back at 6*..... when you hear this message."

Feeling kinda nervous because my days of freedom are now officially limited to late saturday afternoons and whole sundays. Today's my last day of carefree life of eating sleeping worrying about my future with stuff like "what am i going to do and how am i going to do it questions".


After today my time would be priced because I'm hired.

wonder what my new work place would be like....looking forward to this new life whee~ (^-^)

today marks the end of my mini-adventure of babysitting my cousins as well as camping over at my grandparents place...Judging from the amount of traffic coming over....its almost like 2 out of 7 days ous of which 1 day is devoted with just stop overs before the have to rush elsewhere...find that my grand parents really do lack the attention that they used to get from all of us... my aunts,my uncles my cousins and I are all guilty of negelcting them to a certain extent. :(

The experience was remarkable because i've become accustomed to bathing in cold water and even mastered the art of killing the cockroach w/o splatting the nasty bug's juice all over the place.eWw...haha cleaned out the cupcoards but looks like there's still plenty of clutter around.
think i have to reschedule another day whereby everyone will be free to helpout and clear this place of pests and junk liek totally.
oh and my cousin has decided to drop the bombshell and tell her parents she wants to stay permenantly at my grandparents...hope that all will be well and that she's finally find her true self instead of being lost and mislead by some undesirable company.
all of us who have been through this stage will know that it take willpower to
god bless here and hope she finds her way out soon... i have good faith that my cousin is not weak and will definetely lead a wonderful and fruitful life..
hmmm....wonder what my grandmother is doing now...must be enjoying the scenery in china... (^-^)

went to the loreal pte sales wi my mum today,could see that mummy and i throughly enjoyed ourselves coz we bought loads of goodies for ourselves....yay
hee...all skincare and mu stuff...and guess wat...its from all those brands that are normally way out of my budget...=x...
mummy saw it as a way of pampering herself while i saw it as a way of rewarding myself for having to survive looking after my aunt's lil monkeys....

haha....i had subconciously agreed to help my aunt babysit her kids when i was out hunting for dolly's ships stuff and would up having to be a baby sitter for two whole weeks.

they're cute and loavable when they want to be but they can be a really terrible...think i really got an in-sight of what it would be like looking after kids like them...it would be a joy as well as a chore...its like a love hate relationship with this chore.
the task sounded simple but had to do lotsa things that i wouldn't even do for my own home...
i was like my mum...

responsible i became responsible for teaching, looking after and cooking for my cousins....ok maybe not the cooking part...but i really couldn't bear eating all three meals outside: coz the food's normally msg laden making it really sinful and unhealthy to have.

so i read cook books, memorised recipes and cooked:
bought loads of fruits,veg,meat and stuff to cook...

i taught the boys life skills...like how to look after themselves aka clean up after themselves.
its kinda unbelievable that they didn't know how to do anything useful around the house....
stuff like clear their books, putting away their dishes packing their stuff and all....Plus how to prioritize their work and manage their time...

brought them out on a couple of occassions and learnt something really important...make them carry their own stuff in small bags so that no has to carry their stuff for them.
told them "if you find it a chore to carry your things then don't bring and don't complain if you dont' have your thing when you need it"
... it was plain simple..
"rely on no one but yourself.. don't depend on people to look after your things for you.." this they didn't understand and had to learn the hard way coz their parent's would punished them for misbehaving and not doing stuff they they were suppose to do.

was glad that the babysitting thing is over now but can't help wondering how are they coping...Since they've been like my no 1 priority for the past few weeks...
