Life @ Far East Flora

Just wanna blog out what has happened the last few days in Far East Flora. Well, i received a call from them on monday and they asked me to work on tues at 8am to 6pm and they told me to ask more friends to join in as they needed much manpower and i asked how much was the hourly pay which is $6.50 and i thought the pay was alright. Then, i begun looking for people to join me for the job, asked Ziying but she's busy with her poly stuff, asked Ebian but he live too faraway so his parents dont agree, asked ChengLong who was rather busy with his ITE stuff, was unable to join me too, finally i asked Fiona, who was waiting for her poly to start, agreed to go with me on tues. We met at the Pasir Ris MRT control station and we took MRT to Novena and changed a bus in order to reach there, we reached there at about 7.45am.
FIRST DAY.
It was Fiona first time going there and it was my third time, so the place wasnt that alien to me, so first we reported to the office to look for the PIC Michael which is the Supervisor there, he gave cards to punch, i left my bag behind in the office and we started work immediately. At first, we were both in the same location and we were starting packing the flowers and pasting the price tags but soon Fiona and I were separated to different workplace, Fiona remained there in the packing room with some air-con while i was called to work at the store side which is outdoor, i was quite sad to be separated with her as i wanted to work together with her so that we could chat. My location was rather hot & stuffy as only a few boxes was blocking the sun, so u can imagine how hot was that place. But i remained calm and started packing the flowers, there were about 1000s and 1000s of flowers that were unpacked and i (alone) was supposed to pack all of them. At first, i was doing quite well but it was irritating that Michael kept watching and starring at me, he even thinks that i was slow and scolded me "SPEED UP, SPEED UP" in a very rude manner. I slow? I was fast, i guess he wasnt a good person, do not think twice before barking like a rude dog. I endured all his scoldings and i tried not to think too much of it, i just remained that speed without slowing down or speed up as i thought that my speed should be just right.
It was damn boring working alone there in the first morning. Why wasnt any people there? I thought that the pay was good and many people may want to work there but i'm totally wrong, none of the people came except for Fiona and I for the first morning. But in the afternoon after lunch, many people reported for work but most of them are young China girls about 15 of them and a few middle-age men. After lunch was quite okay, was not as boring as in the morning as i'm able to chat with the people who reported for work and Michael approached me and told me to stop bringing any people in as they have enough people. Time passes so damn damn slow that afternoon and i left immediately at 6pm sharp as i felt hungry and tired.
SECOND DAY.
I try to make this port short & simple. As usual I met Fiona and we travelled together. When we reached there,we proceeded to the same workplace and proceeded the same job like the day before but that day was busier than the day before as i have to move the new stocks around which is super duper tiring, that was not the main point for the day. The main point was that i found several red spots all over my hands! OMG! I guess mosquitoes were found there plus perhaps that i'm allergic to the flower pollens. After that incident, i dont feel like even continue this job cos CNY is approaching and i wanna face people in my greatest looks, i dont wanna face people with red spots all over my face and hands. After lunch, i told Michael the reason why and it was confirmed that yesterday was my last day.
There was a serious incident that happened yesterday late afternoon, there was a new guy who came and yesterday was his first day of work. He's somewhat mentally disabled but he's quite friendly and hardworking as he was sweating all the way while moving in and out the flowers without a word of complain but his speed was somehow slower than us because he has low IQ which most of us understand. It was quite unfortunate for him that day. He was actually criticised by Michael and being chased out of the workplace on the spot that day.
As his thinking is somewhat slower than others, he was actually oblivious to his surroundings, Michael, that uncouth dog, was actually paying attention to his working performance. Michael scolded him loudly for being so slow and asked him to punch card and leave immdiately. I can see that that guy wanted to continue his job and he left reluctantly. This clearly reflects what kind of person Michael is. Proud, Arrogant, Cold-Blooded and Uncouth. How can u simply chase a mentally disabled person away? Why dont u give him a chance? We can teach him slowly and i'm sure he can speed up eventually. This made me has a urgue to leave immediately as i cant stand his cruelness anymore, i've yet to see such a horrible supervisor.
Its was so lucky that i did not recommend this job to my friends as it wasnt a great job after all. I swore i wont step into that place anymore even if u pay me $10 per hour.
Thats it guys, i think this post is too long and i'm ending it here. :)
