It's been almost a month since I last had plenty of free time. Why? I got myself a part-time job. And it's not some part-time job, it's a part-time job at Hamley's. The work environment is fun, exciting and tiring at the same time. There is almost no feelings of hierarchy here because of my humble superiors. My schedule is six days a week which means I work on weekends as well, this cut out a lot of personal time so I haven't been able to engage in my computer games, manga and anime recently. I also communicate less with Kai and the others which makes me feel a little lonely. Usually when I work in the afternoon shift, I would reach home at around 11pm feeling tired so I would just check my Facebook, watch maybe two YouTube videos or an anime episode and then go to sleep. Working at a retail outlet, naturally I would make friends with the other workers. Much to my surprise, my seniors (who are younger than me) are fresh graduates from my secondary school. They in turn knew about me because of my youngest sister who is apparently very popular at school as she's a cheerleader. Weekdays are pretty quiet because we don't get a lot of customers, these days are when we practice our demonstration products but it sometimes gets pretty boring because no customers means no activity in the shop. Weekends is what I would describe as 'Hell breaks loose' because children do not have classes and they will be EVERYWHERE. It gets very hectic and busy. However busy with work though, I give myself time for the scouts. Though, Rover activities are hard to attend because of the time constrains.
On the first week of April I had my convocation or graduation ceremony. My mom was there the whole time with me while my dad was there for a while. My sisters didn't come because they had other functions. At the graduation was also Kai, Wilson, KW, Wee, Cardin, VF and others for their award ceremony for the success of their short films in national and international competitions. If they weren't there, my graduation might have been a little lonely.
Just last weekend was 157th Petaling's Tenderfoot Training Course. This year round, because of a dengue problem in the school, the scouts were not allowed to stay overnight in school like previous years. It was the first time the course was literally a 'course' and not a camp. This year I volunteered to be the camp (course) chief after Mav asked. The course went pretty well despite a few mishaps, everything was pretty fulfilling. Hopefully the juniors who came for TTC will return for Skills Camp.
*If I wasn't so busy, there would be longer individual posts for each event that happened the past month. Welp.
