Had a productive and busy day yesterday. Got up in the morning to make a strawberry flan for the Flare potluck dinner. I had so much trouble deciding what to make beforehand. I wanted to make christmas cookies, coz after all it was a christmas party. But then I didn't have time to go buy the ingredients. Then mum offered to go get the ingredients but by the time she got back I didn't have time to make them! lolz. So then I had to think of something else to make. By now it was 11ish and I was starting work at 1pm. So i didn't have much time. So I was going to make jelly slice with green and red jelly... but I didn't have the ingredients for that. Well I didn't have time to decide anymore but I still needed something quick and simple to make. But I had to let mum decide that while I headed off to work.

It was so busy... which made me really stressed! lolz I had to do 2 laybys which was really stressful because I'm only new and I'm still learning how to put things on layby properly. So after my workmate helped me out the first time, I thought I would able to do the second one by myself. Well, I think I overestimated my new found talent as I nearly deleted another file in the system! lolz... oopz! Luckily the lady that I was serving was super uber nice and she waited every so patiently for me to fix her layby up. So anyways, I eventually got it donem with some help. hehe. So anyways, after that things started to go downhill... well only slightly. For another customer, I forgot to charge her for a mirror that they use as a display stand for the product... so she got that free. haha. But it wasn't a big deal, my workmate said, coz they usually give them for free to the SCC members anyways. Then I did another boo boo with another customer. When people purchase a product, we have a gaurantee section that we have to fill out. This allows them to bring back the product to exchange it or get it sent for repairs if its damaged without a receipt. Well, i was in such a rush coz we were really busy, and I forgot to fill out the section for her. So i'm just hoping that she doesn't want to exchange it or repair it without her receipt! lolz

On a better note, I made a lot of sales. Plus I had to unpack boxes of new stock coming in which allowed me to learn where everything went. It was good. I learnt a lot yesterday.

So straight after work I rushed home to see what mum had chosen for me to make. And the only quick and simple dessert she could come up with was the strawberry flan. Well, that was good enough. So I quickly made it before Yao picked me up at 6ish. We had a little trouble finding Cindy's place. haha... no thanks to me. I thought it was on the cnr of russel and latrobe... but it was on the crn of russel and victoria street. haha. oopz! well it wasn't that far from each other.

We thought we didn't have enough food for everyone becoz they made it one dish between two. But a lot of people made desserts..haha. We ordered two pizzas as well but in the end we actually had enough to eat. So the nite consisted of lotsa food, drinks, movies, presents and games. We each had to bring a present as part of our small KK exchange. Was quite fun. While we ate, we watched a movie about drummers in a band (not sure what it was called tho) and then a snippet of Honey - it was bud's kk present. Then we played Derrick's fav game, Mafia (or some people call it Angel's and Assasins). It got so intense to the point where we started a game and on the first round we spent like 15mins deciding who the suspects were. haha. Derrick, Kelv and Vinh were very good at confusing each other which took up most of the time of trying to decide who to vote for. It was a lot of fun tho.

I'm so glad that I actually got to go to one of these Flare gatherings. I always miss out coz of transport. Coz they always have it late at nite so its very hard for me to get a ride home. But luckily Yao was kind enough to offer me ride home. So thanks to Yao. It is much appreciated.
