Hello. It's 10.37pm right now, I'm pretty shagged after spending the day entertaining Farah's needs. I went to see the doctor to get an MC for missing work today, which I'm glad I missed anyway. I needed the rest after almost 2 weeks of endless shows and work. Yesterday, I experienced a second episode of momentary blindness, since the last one in 2007. Yes, it's been a helluva long time since that day. I still remember it all too clearly. Well, no one can forget that kind of experience. But it happened, again, yesterday, at approximately 1.15pm. & embarrassingly, during team talk. With the male manager I don't really favour around. But what's awesome is the colleagues who helped me out of the stock room and made me sit down in a chair till my vision came back. Yes, it was total blackness. I couldn't see a single thing until I was out of the stock room and then, my vision started to come back. It was like that the first time too. I couldn't see anything until I sat down. But what was weird is that, this time, I wasn't scared. I was calm, like I already knew what's happening, unlike the first time I panicked like hell. IN THE FREAKING PARADE SQUARE.
But yesterday, for just a moment, I thought it would be gone for real. It was that moment that I really begged Allah for help.
I asked the doctor today why that happened. He checked my heart beat, blood pressure and asked like, a thousand questions. Everything seemed to be normal. He said sometimes poor blood circulation, low blood in the system and lack of rest can be reasons why it happened to me. Well, considering how the past 2 weeks I've been pushing myself to fit everything into my schedule no matter how tired I was. But that couldn't possibly be the reason for the first time, right?
He gave me some pills for the headache though. I really have been getting dizzy spells lately, most beginning from the front of my head. He said if it persists, I'll have to go get a scan. I'm guessing this is just the signs of the time of the month. Better bring the emergency kit to work from now on. ION toilets suck. There's no water supply in the cubicles. Boo.
I love my colleagues at work. Well, I can name a group of them that I really like, but personally, I don't really like the managers much, except for Yoshi-san, who is the store manager. I just realized that I never really talked about my working life at Uniqlo here. Well, mostly because I just hate the managers and don't wanna bitch about them here because I'm not that kind of person. Trust me, everytime I see their faces, it makes me want to quit on the spot. The reason why I haven't is because I'm just waiting to be accepted in an ECCE course. Once I'm accepted, doesn't matter what company or which institution, I'm out of Uniqlo. I've started to use my staff discount anyway. I wonder how much my salary will be tomorrow. Absolutely CANNOT wait to check. & speaking of tomorrow, I'm going back to RP in the morning to collect my diploma transcript for the interview on the 11th. I have another on the 14th, but my parents actually asked me along to cycle with my dad's secondary school friends. Now I'm torn. Shall see how it goes.
So, I have work tomorrow from 4pm - 11.30pm, Sunday from 1pm - 8pm. & when Monday comes, so begins my real break. My last real break was 5th to 7th March, which I enjoyed to the fullest. Pulau Ubin on Monday with my beloved GNK kids, Hunger Games & Sakura dinner with Hazlinda (ohmygee miss her so goddamn much) Hussain. Interview with AIC on Wednesday. I don't even know if my work schedule for next week was even accepted. But, whatever. Lack of manpower? That's your problem. Solve the way you treat your staff first, only then will you be able to retain your newcomers. Nope, I ain't no saying anything about that. It's your problem, go figure. Anyway, Haz has been amazing the past month. She dropped by my store twice, and on both occasions, she really surprised me. Her presence actually made the rest of my day at work better. Sigh. I love my friends. I'm so lucky. :3
I didn't really planned to write so much on this post. But I guess these were all penned up for so long, I just needed an outlet. Honestly, I really can't wait to quit Uniqlo. Sure, it means leaving behind awesome colleagues like Nabilah, Hamidah, Ima, Farah etc, but retail and customer service are just not meant for me. I'm glad that at least I got to experience it.
I miss my students, especially cute, little Benny. This coming Monday might feel weird. :(
Tomorrow will be a long day. Sigh. Health, behave please. Thanks.
I'll see ya'll in my next post. Till then, I hope for you to always be in the best of health. :)
Did you know when you're around
My heart won't, it can't slow down
It beats so hard, it makes it hard
To catch my breath, to catch my breath
