Hi. It's 4am now & I know it's crazy to still be up at this time. Dad would kill me if he sees me like this, especially known to the fact that I just got back from work a few hours ago. To him work = tired = MUST SLEEP NO EXCEPTIONS! But I munched on a bowl of veges about 2 hours ago so I can't sleep. & anyway I had to check out something really important related to my future when it crossed my mind minutes ago.
Leave that aside, today was my first day back at work after being really sick for 2 days & then having an off day yesterday. Work was okay, only slightly more stressful because ALMOST ALL THE PART-TIMERS LEFT ALREADY!!! :( :( MAJOR SADNESS!! There's only Edwin, Maisarah & me left. Ling Ta's leaving next week & Kian Keong (KK) doesn't count cuz he's an old bird -.- & it's stressful because we lack manpower therefore causing everyone to work like mad. I MISS ANDYYYYYYY!!!! :( :( & NIZAH OMG CANNOT FORGET NIZAH!! :( It's really sad when I take a look at the attendance file & I see so many names erased off the list. Work's getting a bit more mundane. LOL BUT THIS GUY EIROD AH I TELL YOU... CRACK ME UP LIKE MAD!! HE'S INSANE REALLY!! Omg but so fun to have him around. HAHA.
Yesterday he was so jubilant he went around cracking people up. He came to the fitting room (where I was allocated) with 2 frilly blouses & look at me. I went ahead & ask "Yes sir, do you want to try?" & he went "Yes pleaseeeee, I want to try." "YOU TRY LOR SEE IF CAN FIT!" Then he walked away. A few minutes later he came cat-walking towards me lol omg the sight was beyond hilarious I can't explain. He did all sorts of nonsense which kept me laughing the whole time at work. But joke of the day was this;
Customer (foreigner): *turns to me* Can I have this (shows me a shirt) in size sickting?
Me: Sorry sir?
Customer: Sickting.
*Eirod walks past*
Me: Fifteen or sixteen?
Customer: Sickting sickting.
Eirod: *raises his voice & glared at me* SICKTING SICKTING SICKTING!!!!!
*I grabbed the shirt from the customer & headed to the storeroom*
.
.
.
*Eirod came in not long after I did*
Eirod: I WANT SIZE SICKTING!!!
Eirod & me ended up laughing like some maniac in the storeroom because he won't quit saying "sickting" even till the moment I bid him goodbye before heading home. I bet he's gonna do that again when I see him tomorrow.
But apart from all that laughter, at some point of time I felt really sad yesterday. I was listening to My Immortal - Evanescence while I was on my way to work. I was resting my eyes but what I saw when I closed my eyes was beyond overwhelming. Sights of my late aunt, the times I sat next to her just listening to her talk, the time she came over to my place when dad got hospitalised, the times I smsed her just to ask whether she was working & whether she wanted food..... it was like a slideshow just in split seconds & it all ended with the sight of her on the bed in the ICU. It could have just been my imagination but I beg to differ. It's been more than half a year now & I miss her dearly much. Time flies.
That was not it. While I was at work, I attended to this really old English man. He was really cute, trust me. He had this bubbly personality which attracted me. Started with him asking me what was his pants size because he wasn't sure himself. I took a few, just to let him try. While I was at it, he kept telling me how big his tummy is & how pants wont fit & that when it does, it's too baggy on the bottom part & all. He was telling jokes & had a really cute smile. He praised me at how good I was at multi-tasking & when I hanged hangers on my pockets he went "That pocket sure does come in handy huh?" Haha. What made me sad was when after trying a few items in the fitting room, he started panting & the smile he had on his face was no longer there. He couldn't really speak because he was really tired. Sister Jerlyn gave him a chair & he got slightly better. Right there & then, late Grandpa came to my mind. The way the old man sat on the chair was exactly how my late grandpa looked like when he sat on a chair & talk to me while I sit on the floor. I miss the feeling of having a Grandpa to love & pamper me, like how my grandpa always did. I miss how he'd praise me for even my smallest achievements. I miss seeing how happy he was when my family go over his place to visit grandma & him. He loves it when we go over & he'll get sad when it's time for us to leave.
You know, I remembered how he called me to sit by him on the 2nd night of Hari Raya Puasa 2009 when we recited prayers for my late aunt. He held my hands throughout the whole recital & he was shivering. Not to mention he was crying the whole time. I also remembered when I held his cold hands in the ICU when late aunt left. I could hear him sobbing through my shirt when I hugged him. Last but not least, I remembered how he talked to me during that raya when it was time for me to seek forgiveness from him. He leaned over & was crying just as bad as I was & said so many things about me having a bright future & how much he loves me. He said he never fails to pray for me every time he performs his prayers. & the last thing he said was (this was really the last thing he said & it was very vivid in my mind)
"Yai slalu doakan smoga cucu-cucu yai semua berjaya & kalau umur yai panjang nanti kita jumpa lagi. Yai saaaayang shasha eh" *for non malays, if you're curious go ask your malay friends for translation ok? thanks*
I miss grandpa. I miss my really cute grandpa. My one & only grandpa I've ever known :(
