No More Rotting

Hello there
it's end of the first month of year 2015 already. Time passes so fast
I have enjoyed my free relaxing time for more than a month since my last exams on December last year. (it's feeling like just yesterday) Holiday always doesn't feel enough right?
Anyway have to back to reality.


This semester I'm taking two subjects in ACCA. So it's equivalent to two classes per week.
Even though class has started since beginning of January,I'm not sure I'm lucky or not. Both of my classes fall on the same day which is on Wednesday. One in the morning while one is at night.
Therefore, I have plenty of free time at home.

and since I'm such a sleep-lover, by the time I'm awake during the other days, it will already be noon. (it's more than 8 hours sleep you know) I guess it's not a healthy lifestyle.


Besides sleeping, I'll be doing literally nothing. Sometimes I'll still find something useful to do like baking, mummy's accounting, movies, blogging etc. There's no motivation to study at all. Procrastination came in place. To be direct, I'm actually rotting at home. 
That's not what I want. I like to fully utilize my time to the maximum. 


Then I've started thinking of ideas to utilize my time and to manage my time wisely.
So few days ago, I plan to take some action by searching for a part time work. No more delaying!


There goes my choice of part time work : 
1) Working in a firm (to gain working experience for my accounting career)
2) Somewhere nearby my house which doesn't require much of a brain power (utilizing time by earning a little pocket money)

So I've actually try calling a few firms and asking some friends about working part time in a firm, unfortunately no firms wanted to hire a part time worker. Maybe cause there's not much commitment and they doesn't want to train you for quite sometime already then ended up seeing you leaving. 
(No Opportunity here) It's okay. 

Next, I went to some bakery shop, cafes or ice cream shops (Brain power not needed) nearby my house (All Seasons Place) to ask for any vacancy available. I fill in the forms that they handed me and after that, it's a waiting time . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Now, I'll tell you a little story first. (Sorry for such a long post) Bare with me please. =D

Just so you know...
It's all started when frozen yogurt (froyo) is the latest trend (I guess it's around year 2011-2012) and at that very moment, I fell in love with this dessert (froyo) so much.
That I would eat it like almost every week, even when I have to substitute that as my lunch since my allowance were limited. It was during my college (diploma) days.
I went to this frozen yogurt shop in Straits Quay called "Fruuze" so so many times until the Lady Boss could recognized me already. So you now know how much time I've spent there during diploma days since my college, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College was not that far away.


At that time, the Lady Boss (Mrs. Tan) once offered me to work there. I guess it's one to two years ago. Honestly, at that time that offer was very attractive to me. 
However, I'm still currently studying full time diploma in college and my house was very far from Straits Quay. So, I've rejected that offer of hers.

Until not long ago (last year if I'm not wrong), Fruuze opened their second shop in Penang located at All Seasons Place. I was so excited at that time of the opening. I thought I would finally have the chance to work there. Too bad, I was still busy with my studies at that time and my timetable was quite packed. So AGAIN no chances . . .

Story end here...

Just now where did I stop?
Oh ya, the waiting moment .....

Finally after a few days of waiting, actually i don't expect much so not exactly waiting. Hehe
Message received on Tuesday,
"Hi Vicky this is Mr. Tan from Fruuze. Just want to check with you if you are still looking for job and if you can come in for interview tomorrow. Thanks."

I said I couldn't make it tomorrow, Wednesday as I have classes. So am free on Thursday.
So he asked me to come by 1pm as he'll be there at 1pm.

Extremely excited after reading this message.
Looking forward to that interview.

On Thursday, when I came in the shop, the staff and Mr. Tan was there too. Mr. Tan gave me a smile since I've told you the boss knew me already. They know I'm a big fan of their froyo. Haha
They just act pretty normal and ask what would I like to order? They doesn't realize that I'm there for an interview and I am Vicky.

When I told him I was Vicky. Mr. Tan gave me a bigger smile and said "Oh, it's YOU!"

So after the interview, he straight hand me two staffs shirt, an apron and a cap.
That means I'm officially hired at Fruuze 
Waaa... Happy die meeee....
and you know what??? The benefit of being hired there is.......
You can have a cup of Fruuze with any toppings you like each day you work!
So AWESOME laaaa


I'll be working starting from next week.
Come find me yeah!

All Seasons Place @ Lebuhraya Thean Teik, Bandar Baru Air Itam

It's directly the centre of All Seasons Place. Just beside the Famous Chendol shop.


Anyway, it's my first time working in an ice cream/froyo shop so no experience at all.
Wish me the best and don't be so clumsy like my usual self can already.

The one thing I'm most afraid of working in a frozen yogurt shop is this job.
Using the ice cream machine. Hope it won't be my worst enemy there.
I remember when I use the machine in Tutti Frutti time, my froyo literally looks like sh*t. *Gasp*


Okay, stop being so pessimistic.
Think of the bright side, the boss said when there's no customers around and everything is clean, you may study or online as you like. I saw the staff even bring their own laptop to use there. So much freedom plus pocket money is keep on increasing as the hours gone by.


Although the hourly pay is not much, my whole intention for working is so I wouldn't rot at home.
So I guess it's still worth the shot for trying out this part time work. 
Anyway I've told the boss I'll be working till the end of April cause I would need to focus on my studies later on.

At least pocket money keeps on increasing and not decreasing... =)

Action speaks louder than words!

In conclusion,
Ideas, checked 
Action, checked 
Objectives, checked 

Sincerely,
