Midnight in Suwon - Day 38

Hi midnight...


What woke me up was the sound of dad waking my mom up. The alarm clock I set, using mom's phone awoke dad first before mom could wake up. Mom wanted to wake up earlier than I, to prepare my breakfast. I kept the things I needed for work and gym after work and left home. It was 7:50 in the morning when I left. Having a bike made life way much more convenient. I was able to travel any place I wanted even that would a tiring journey.


As I got on the train, there were way fewer people today. I thought it was because I left home late but I realised that today was weekend. I leaned against the wall and sat on the banister. I took out my book to read them. Listening to good music, reading good stories was one of the best morning I can ask for.


Reached the workplace and it was still earlier than my work time. I reached when it was 9:10 and I was like 20 mins earlier than time. There was the part-timer at the counter and my work senior at the counter too. As soon as  I reached, the senior ordered me to carry a children's car back to the office. I carried it back and wore my work shirt. As I was leaving, the part-timer girl came to find me at the office. She asked me whether I had five 1000 won notes. I checked my wallet and told her that I do not have five. I do not know why but I was way more comfortable when talking to her compared to other Korean girls. She was hmm I do not know what is going on but she didn't seem fat but looked bulk and big. Like horizontally. She was quite pretty too. I managed to make some jokes and carry out the conversation while the two of were walking back to the counter. I got another order from my senior and today I was given a walkie-talkie! I began using them at any means. I used that to talk to the person just in front me too. It was the first time I was given such great item. I felt so professional.


Work began and for today, I was assigned to be in charge of the concert hall. This place was the biggest place of all that I felt it was too big for me to cover. However, as I got to know of the job scope in this place, the job I had to were plain and simple. I only had to ask the kids to throw the dice and help the kids to learn the words that were on the board. I was given the earliest lunch time as I reached the second earliest today. Had a lunch with the new girl who came today, Hyeji sister and the senior boss. As we were eating, we realised that we all had an experience of staying abroad except the senior boss. The new girl stayed in USA for about two years in Arizona and Hyeji, whom I was most curious where she had stayed due to her proper American accent, stayed in Indonesia for about four years. I was so happy to know that she was from Indonesia. I felt like I was meeting someone from my hometown. Indonesia was near to Singapore and there were lots of similarities in the culture. Talked about the food, shopping malls, habits and all.. Didn't know how the lunch time passed so quickly.


After lunch as I was working,  I saw the girl who was same age as me wearing her jackets and carrying her bag and going out with the senior boss. She seemed so depressed that I really thought she was fired when she was going home as she was sick.


I had quite a several changes in my station and for the last one, I was given to take the 'Roller Station', where kids would go inside a big roller and roll about themselves. There were only three rollers and one roller could only take three kids per time. However, unlike yesterday, there were loads of children waiting to take this roller. They loved riding this roller. Handling the job got much difficult when parents intervened in. There were considerate parents who actually cooperated with the rules but there were lots of parents wanting their kids to go in first and taking out the other kids from the roller, coming inside the station to help the kids roll and all. Sometimes, the kid just got into the roller without asking me and there were like four people in one roller. Having seen that the kid just get into the roller without asking, I fumed up. I really fumed up to see kids trying to get in to the roller while the other kids who were previously in the roller had yet to come out. I finally did something that I regret till now. Althought it was really small thing and did not cause any silence in the atmosphere or anything. I got angry and told the kids to wait outside the station saying that you all do not listen and do things by yourself. It was the very first time I ever got serious so I kinda felt guilty after that on.. What's the use if I can't deal with kids properly.... when my job is that.


When it was around 5:40, the senior boss told me through the walkie-talkie that I can go home earlier as I reported for work way earlier than the others. As I was leaving, I thought that it could be the final chance for me to talk to her... I got the courage to talk to and approached her. Had a few conversation and I found out her residence. She lives in Namyangju. That's the only info i have of her. I do not even know her full name properly. I quickly searched how to get to work from her city when I got home and realised it was the opposite direction from my house... Ha... so bad. so bad..


After work, I got to the gym to work out before going home. However, there was one more impt thing than gym. There was an Asian cup match bet Korea and Australia. Both teams qualified for the next round but it was like deciding whether we meet an easier opponent at the next round or not. When I reached the gym center, there was a huge TV screen showing the match and the score was 1:0! Korea leading the game!!! I quickly asked the uncle who scored the goal and I ran up to the gym with the key. There was TV in front every running machines so I rusehd for it. Watched the last 20 mins of the game and did some work outs and reached home. Ate such such heavy dinner that I do not think I can get for sleep so early tonight.


Tomorrow ... I have no work. I gotta find out what to do tomorrow tonight...


Goodnight everyone...
