~~~~~STRIKE!!~~~~~

Today was the best day of my week, period... Before I start on what went on for me today, I'm just going to do a quick summary on the past few days...

On Monday, I woke up extra early in the morning to get ready... Getting ready for what? I was getting ready to report for the first day of my temporary job at Great Eastern... Thanks to my sister, I managed to get the job as she was working there as a permanent staff... Although I don't get my own cubicle like my sister, at least I got my own work station... So my assignment for my first day was to do batching... It was easy when I got used to it... All I had to do was to group 7 policies together and write down the policy numbers on a piece of paper... I was wondering when I could get my hands on their scanner but straight after lunch, I was assigned to scan the policies... It was interesting to work on the scanner as it wasn't the flatbed scanner that we usually have in our home but, it comes with the flatbed and the hopper... All I had to do was to place the policies on the hopper and click scan... The hopper will then do the rest of the scanning... I thought it was that easy to place each policy on the hopper but I shouldn't rejoice so soon... The scanner only allows me to place 10 pieces of paper on it's hopper and not only that, sometimes, the scanner will just pull in two papers at once and scans only one piece instead of two...

As for Tuesday and Yesterday, I did more scanning in work... Not only I had to only scan, I must also always remember to take note on how many policies I had scanned and record it now in a file, that my boss will review everyday... For the record, on Monday, I scanned 32 policies and on Tuesday, 42 policies... But as for Yesterday, I scanned 100 policies and no kidding, 100 polices doesn't mean counting the amount of pages that I had to scan... It may sound relaxing but it's not as easy you think it may be...

Now let's get back to the present, today... I took leave today for a special reason and that was, to attend the Christmas Bowl that my church had organised... I invited Jeremy and Lester to join in the fun... We were allowed to play only 2 games so we took our own sweet time... Well, the fact was; we didn't even have to take our own sweet time as our lane took our role... The lane had some mechanism faults as it took a very long time to set up the pins and I mean it, VERY long time... We also received free dinner after our entertaining game, although we had to wait... After dinner, we went to Tampines Mall and Century Square to do some window shopping for Christmas... Sorry dudes for ditching you as my mum wanted me to carry her shopping bags...

Anyways, that's what went on for the past four days of my week... May all of you have a fun and enjoyable Christmas and prepare for the New Year... Wishing all of you a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! This is JoNaThAn... signing out*...
