phew, what an exhausting week.

One of the sad news which occured in my work place was two of my co-workers suddenly plan to resign their position as a shop assistant. I spoke with them earlier and they told me that one day when they got a flu, fever, or any other sickness, they were being forced to be on duty. According to our company's regulations, there can only be one sick day per month, which is paid on our monthly salaries. If we plan to recover at home, part of our salaries may be deducted regardless how many doctor's notes we have.

Since there weren't enough workers to be on duty, the manager plan to work at the counter on Monday. The worst part was that I have to served and cook all the food and the manager didn't allow me to help one of the new co-workers who was on duty, to learn how to work at the kitchen. Originally, I get off work at 8pm. Since I have to count all the goods before I leave, I had to work until 9:30pm, which is completely unfair. This is because the new co-workers gets off at 10pm and during that time, he/she can even take my spot and do all the cooking. In this case, suppose if he/she didn't know how to check all the goods, I can do this task around 7pm, prior to the end shift. The manager didn't cut all the bills and I was being forced to cook during that time.

In addition, there were so many lack of communications or co-operations with any other co-workers, due to shortage of goods. Some of them dared to serve on the internet for more than 15 minutes, and this make them more unfocused what's happening in the internet cafe.

The manager told me that the boss is planning to change our shift from 10 hours to 12 hours per day, but only one day of rest in March. Although, it haven't officially been approved yet, many new workers are being forced to work this long. In the beginning, three of them resigned their position after working for about a week.

My last word regarding about the prejudicism of i-one is 'slavery'.

Here are the reasons why I think working in i-one is like slaves:

1) long-working hours
2) lesser wages
3) unfairness
4) lack of teamwork
5) lack of benefits in the group plan

according to the working hours in the labour department, most workers cannot work for more than 48 hours per week, or simply 8 to 9 hours per day, unless if he or she has approved that he or she can do so. Since i-one required workers to work 10 hours per day and only one day of rest, it had already breached the rules from the labour department. I just think that the owner in i-one is kind of cold-blooded. Working 12 hours per day with only one day of rest is just too CHAOTIC and most of our free time has been sacrificed.

After this incident, I will resign my position as a shop assistant at the end of this month. To tell you the truth, I'm sick of it, due to unstable regulations in this workplace.

I'll either do training in chinese writing and/or typing in chinese or I will look for a new job in the labour department. Remember to pray for me if you do have time.

Cheers.

Hello my dear fans:

By the time you read this message, I'm already in Hong Kong right now. The reason why I went back to Canada is to simply trying to transfer my documents from there to Hong Kong. For example, driver's license, bank account and doctor's referral letter.

As for the driver's license, the expiry date is next year, May 31st. Since I'm not planning to live in Canada anymore, there's no point for renewal. In other words, it might be better for me to transfer it to a Hong Kong license just incase I need to drive over there.

As for the bank account, I transferred my money into my parent's account so that they wouldn't have to pay an administration fee since they have an HSBC account in Hong Kong. I don't really want to go back to Canada every year to file a tax bill.

Since I won't be doing any medications in Canada, I might as well get a reference letter from my doctors so that the doctors in Hong Kong can follow up easier to keep track of my health conditions.

One last word, my parents and myself have already booked for a cruise about three months ago. The price is a lot cheaper to go to south america from Canada than from Hong Kong.

That's all I'm going to say and bye from now.

I haven't been writing a blog for a long time and I would not have to expect that I wasn't too uspet as I thought of for not being able to attend Jon Tam & Anna Leung's banquet.

Here are the main reasons why I couldn't go to their banquet:

1) The relationship between the Tam couples and myself are consider as acquaintances
2) I didn't know their families and friends very well

At first, I thought of myself that I should not even bother to go to their wedding because it's kind of like, I can't play in the 2nd half for an NBA basketball game, which is the crucial moment. However, I still go to their wedding and take pictures together happily. Thank goodness, I was feeling sick during that day, so that I don't have to come to their banquet in a bad mood. Afterwards, when I tried to look for photos in their banquet online, I felt a bit sorry for one of the guests, (probably one of Jon Tam's high school colleagues) because he didn't receive an invitation card from them as well.

Put it this way, if I go to their banquet without an invitation card and having a flu, their dinner will eventually become very chaotic, as people from my table would get sick as well. Afterwards, everyone is going to be scared of me and want to stay away from me.

After their banquet, I wonder whether or not I should invite Jon & Anna to my future wedding & banquet which is at least 2 years from now. I'm not saying that I should not form my bond with them deeper, it's just that whether or not they want to be closer with me as friends. Maybe, I might just invite them to my wedding instead, but not sure about the banquet.

Here is the list of people that I might invite for my future banquet (when I turned myself into regional vice president):

Families & Relatives
Workers from Primerica:
 RVP: Billy Wong & Jodi Chang
 Regional Leader: Elaine Chan & hey boyfriend (maybe)
 Members from Elaine's Team:
  - Ricky Chu
  - Yang He & Chen Zou
  - Irene Wu
  - Chris & Dolores (maybe)
  - etc
some church people: (from NCAC & NTCAC)
some school people: (from University & High School)
pastors: Allan Marriage & Glen Eyre (including their wives and childrens)
Groomsmen: Tim Chak, Eric Fan, Ben Tang, Hammond Lo, etc.

That's it for today, and I hope that I can attend Camilla Cheung's banquet as well as the wedding. To be honest, if I can't come to her banquet, I would be crying for sure because even though I don't know her finance very well, I have known her friends, as well as herself,  well, probably not as deep as Alfred, Belinda, Steph, Jon Tam, etc.
