Chinese New Year 2010 (Part III)

Chinese New Year 2010 Part III: The Hardwork

Section I: The Cleaning Process

Alright, finally today me and my parents went all out to clean the house, collecting all kind of junks and trashes ranging from a piece of useless paper to a worn out printer. Yup, there are a lot of changes at our house today. Even the PS2 had moved to downstair instead of staying in my brother's room. Well, too bad. All the junks are stacked together like a mountain and squeezed everything into my father's car to bring to my grandparent's home for selling purposes.

Clean but I have not fulfilled my task yet. Here's a conversation:
* Dad's phone rang *
Dad: Hello?
2nd Bro: Hello!~! (with his usual excited voice) Is the mahjong cleaned yet?
Me & Dad: o_0

HOLY #$@#% I haven't do that! And I have approximate of 5 days to do so before I got a hell of a beating!! So, that's basically it for now for the cleaning part. Tomorrow morning my dad's gonna hang the tanglungs so stay tuned for a picture!!


Section II: Working?!

Don't be surprised when you heard this. I worked for the past 3 days last week. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. At where you ask? At Star Engravers. For those who didn't know, AKA my dad's shop. My dad sells medals, trophy and all kinds of things including engravings stuffs! So, I'm there to help my dad to work as he need to clear off some massive orders he got so that he can close the shop for CNY.

Alright, all I do in the shop is listening to the radio fixing the medals(put on the "rope" like thing that is blue, red, white in colour), listening to Hitz.fm's Gotcha Calls pasting wordings on the medals and etc. It sounded easy at first but for a beginner, it might take almost 10 minutes to do 3 medals(first, second and third). But after 3 days of training, I can do it faster like 3~5minutes per 3 medals. However, my mom is extraordinary, I finish 3 medals, she finished almost 6 or 9 medals o_o Talked about experience though.

Anyways, my dad begins with around 4 orders from different school. They are massive orders and when I say massive doesn't mean it's around 100 pieces of medals. Shockingly (to you guys), it's more around approximation of 350 pieces. Yup, that's a lot of work!~

With me and my mom(my dad did other minor orders), we managed to cut down the massive orders to half. Tomorrow we have to finished 300 medals before 6pm and Tuesday we have to finish around 100 medals. After that, merdeka!! Can wait for CNY already! Gotta work hard!

Section III: Driving Exams

Just did my Pra test today, I passed but it's not satisfying enough. I got 17/20 points for Road test. 16 is the passing marks so you can say that I nearly fail!~ Sigh~~ Kinda disappointing but at least I do not need to sit for the Pra test again! My JPJ exam is 22nd February, which is after CNY. Wish me luck!~

Section IV: Pineapple Tarts

Mmm... Due to time constrain, my mom only managed to make 2 delicious treats for this year's CNY, mainly peanut treat and pineapple tarts. My favorite treat among all, Pineapple Tarts!!! Love 'em!

Section V: Epilogue

It's getting late. Around 12:30am now. Better go to bed cause tomorrow have to wake up early. Part 3 is short, sorry bout that! See ya!

P.S. Sorry for no image this round. I'm tired today!
