That's the baine in the arse about picking your own hours, er well it is when you're lazy like me, but I need an income

What do you do? How much you make? I get 8.45 an hour for working in a glass factory. Pretty decent money to me, but I am so damn tired when I get home.

I work two jobs and take as many hours as I can get. Screw child labor laws!

Heh, I myself will be gone for 2 mths in a fortnight. Will be going Japan, Korea, Thailand, HongKong and maybe China in this 2 mths. Will decide with my sis and friends when I'm back in Singapore
Can't wait......
Nice wish i had that luxury of time...GRRRRRR!!!! stooopid work
aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! i want to stay in asian longer and go
around more...
now a coupla more days in HK then hit the mainland for a coupla days and then back
HK coz ive decided not to bother with Japan (flights around 150 pounds from HK) as there a coupla cool peops ive met who i wanna hang with before im off to crappy UK
anway Japschin
but 2 months is such a short time...
way not enough time to get a feel for the places...
your better off decresing the destination list or increasing the durations!
otherwise its just an expensive waste of awesomness!
Hong Kong!!! - Japschin - 06-02-2005
My crazy sis is the one who wants to go to Korea and China. My friends and I were actually planning to go only Japan and Hongkong.
I don't really want to go with my sister coz she is that type of person who wants to see everything when there's nothing there to see...........
But she keeps bugging me everytime I go online or call.Think will go only Japan and Hongkong. I want to spend more time in Singapore. If there's extra time, which I don't think there will be, I'll go Thailand to visit a classmate.
How long would you be there this time round? Going anywhere else apart from HK?

I use a pallet jack to drag pallets of 15 small bundles of cardboard boxes, which os ruoughly 100-150 lbs. Or I have to drag a 30 or so lb big bundle onto the jack, carry it to the sorting area, cut the strings, & pick them up & sort them; 3s, 15s, 25s, 49s, & rejects. Then I take them from the table (which I'm not louycky enough to be able touse a table because we've 2 workers too many -_-, & pile them on different pallets. Once those pallets are head high we take them to the back.
Doesn't sound bad, but long hours in a hot room (the kitchen isn't all that far away -_-) standing on a concret floor is killer on the feet, plus picking up the bundles which are bound by string which cords you hands. Luckly the sorting area is about the coolest place in the work place. That's what I'm hired to do, but they make sorters do pretty much whatever they want.
Our Box Sorter pay is 5.50, which isn't bad cause the job is easy, but it's boring & time goes by at like 10 minutes to 1..
er well easy if you don't have a bad back like I do, after about 1 & 1/2 of work, when I inhale deeply my vertibray in my back do a domino efffect of cracking, & I can't do that once every 5 minutes :S That can't be good either..

Too true. When I was younger I went Japan first then went to HK after which I was a bit gutted about as i'd rather of stayed in Tokyo... Probably would of enjoyed it more if it was the other way round.

dodgy luck would have been them getting busted while you were shopping; look on the bright side, that didn't happen
