Went to work for the first time today. Worked as a surveyor for Singapore Tourism Board. It was pretty good experience.. Woke up at 7.45am in the morning to get ready to meet Dome and Nic at BK. We're supposed to meet at around 8.30am. I went to buy batteries for my discman and breakfast from McDonalds. Reached BK at around 8.32am. Dome and Nic came shortly after. We reached China Town MRT at 9.55am.. We're suppose to meet Mikki at 10am. We waited for awhile but didn't see her so we went to the McDonalds nearby. Nic ate his breakfast there. I went to fetch Alton from the MRT and we slacked in McDonalds for like 20mins before we went walking around cos Mikki have not reached yet. We went to this old shopping centre and walked around. Not long after Mikki came and she brought us to the interview place..
Went up and waited awhile.. We were given forms to fill in our particulars etc etc. After that this person in her 20s (estimated) came in and she started talking to us about the survey and how to ask questions and stuff like that. Hahas.. thru the whole introduction and interview we were kinda joking and laughing around but the lady was joking and laughing with us also.. She's quite friendly :)
After training us and stuff like that, we were given our surveys and each survey was like 4 pages long so we were just given 5 each. For every survey done, we would earn $6. It was damn hot and crowded. We were supposed to do survey on Hari Raya Festival.. There's a carnival going on Geylang Serai.. Lots of stalls.. Mikki alocated us at different locations.. Me and Alton's location were kinda near so we worked together. We surveyed 4 people each in like 2 hours.. So that means we earned 24 bucks in 2 hours. I think that's quite a decent pay.. Gonna save up the money.. Gotta start being thrifty from now on. Really looking forward to the next time I work.
My family is kinda screwed up now. Damn pissed off. Loads of financial problems and parents quarrelling and shit like that. I can't really do much to help or change anything.
It hurts. It really does...
