The Magazine Store

It has been 2 weeks since school holiday started, what i did just throw my time away doing
nothing. But today i've met someone that will end my meaningless holiday.
Today as usual after breakfast, i spend my time playing online games and try to find someone
to chat with. Unfortunate nobody online, including Xiao Fen. Everyday repeating the same
routine, doing nothing... So i decided kill my time at Orchard Road... alone.

Sitting at Mc'D at Orchard and watching every one walk by.Office lady who walk in fast pace,
maybe busy for another meeting, some teenagers walking and laughing along the way, maybe
going to catch a movie, 2 policeman walk by, and assist some tourist to find their way, and
a street performer, dress in black suit, paint his face all white, stand like a statue, if
someone drop some money in his box, he will make some robotic move to cheer them up...Awww... seems like everyone have their jobs, and things to do, unlike me. I felt i just like a
useless rubbish waiting time pass by...

After finished my drinks, i decided to buy some magazine, so I walk to the magazine store
not far away. While looking for the magazine in the store, i found something which attracts
me " VACANCY - Looking for part-time workers, working hour flexible, S$XX an hour.". Oh, the store is looking for part-time worker. " Mm, since i'm just wasting my time doing noting,
why not do some part-time job." I talk to myself. I walk to the counter and talk to a tall,
spectacle, thin and serious looking man. " Er... excuse me." "Yes, what can i help you?" the
serious looking man answer me with a smile on him. Well, he is not as serious as i thought.
So i brace myself and ask him " Is there vacancy for part-timer here, i'm interested to take
up the job." The serious man look at me and smile " Oh, you want to take up the vacancy. Let
me introduce myself first, i'm Jonny, 'tauke' of this store." Jonny introduce himself. " Oh,
i'm Zhun Hui, nice to meet you." I introduce myself to jonny and jonny have a firm handshake
with me.

" So you are interested to work in my magazine store. I have 3 question for you before
decide to hire you. First,are you ok with the pay i offer? Second, can you work for long
hour? And finally, how old are you? " Jonny ask. " Yes, yes. I'm ok with the pay, and it's
school holiday right now, so i can spend all the time i have at here, and i'm 16." I answer
Jonny as calm as i can, but my heart is pounding so fast i almost felt it would jump out my
mouth. " Hmm... pay... ok, time... ok, age... ok. Allright!!! Welcome to Jonny's store, you
are hired. "I stared at Jonny for a few seconds, surprised by his sudden reaction. " Zhun
Hui... are you ok? " Jonny waive his hand in front of me. " oh, i'm ok, ok. Thank you Jonny.
Thank you. " I answer Jonny. " Ok, start work tomorrow. Come here at 12 afternoon. See you."
Jonny smile at me. " Ok, see you. Bye. " I walk out the store happily.

Ha, finally i found something to do instead of wasting my whole school holiday meaningless.
Feel like sharing with Xiao Fen the news... but on second thought, maybe i should surprise
her when i receive my first pay cheque. Hehe....
