It was difficult to wake up. Took Grab cab to Woodlands check-point but was still 30mins late for root canal at E&E Dental. Part one was RM600.
No pain, just a bit numb, then I went D'Cafe for brunch + tea break. This place was recommended by my AI, was like less than 10mins drive from the dental. Of my numerous visits to JB, I actually never know stand alone cafes are good.
The interior was very simple, I sat under the solid roof avoid sun rays, though it was more romantic at the glass house area.
Even the restroom was pretty looking.
I had a good meal using old man's money. He told me to take it, so no guilt, person not with me but money with me 小钱好过没有. He will take leave for anybody else except for family members. So I foresee more tranquil solos.
It's called Sweetie Sally on the menu.
Fried enoki mushrooms + salmon + soft scrambled eggs + raw spinach + purple rice.
I was eyeing at the carrot cake on the counter for the longest.
I decided to stretch my stomach for it, yums.
Forgotten how much I spend, but it's definitely very to our advantage converting from Singapore currency.
I really wished to stay over again. But I had a Polyclinic appointment the next day, had to return home.
Selfie made possible with selfie stick. There was a couple of weird stares, had to be thick skinned.
It was a busy day at the cafe, answering phone calls and messages.
Fresver Beauty called me for a interview. But I rejected after they told me handphones needed to be logged away in the locker during working hours. They employed lousy staffs then imply inhumane rules and regulation hello...
EIG also messaged me offering these working hours:
SCHEME A – 8 off days (only weekdays)
- weekday 10.30am - 9.00pm (1hr lunch, 30 mins dinner)
- weekend 10.30am - 8.00pm (1hr break)
SCHEME B – 6 off days (5 weekday & 1 sunday)
- weekday 10.30am - 8.00pm / 11.30am – 9.00pm (1hr break)
- Saturday 10.30am - 7.30pm / 11.00am – 8.00pm (30mins break + 30mins paid)
- Sunday & PH 10.30am - 7.00pm / 11.30am – 8.00pm (30mins break + 30mins paid)
I think I will die lolxx... Then they offer me to work in TTSH pharmacy haahaahaa...
I declined politely and wished them finding a right candidate.

Finally to Polyclinic to collect my medication. Good to see the resident cat while on my way.
It's sleeping, so I didn't molest it.

EIG called me up, I was very surprised they actually agree to my request of 8hrs/day 5days/week! There must be something they see in me. (This is a back dated post, now that I already started work, they probably may see if I can work my way up to be the salon's manager. The Malaysian girl who worked 8 years in the salon could be promoted, but her command of English may be a barrier.)
So I got myself a job, 2 weeks after I left the Toxic Circus.
With the job, I had to hide the bleach. This was only S$8 from JB.
It turned out grey with my bleached base instead of the milk tea color on the package. Laughed die me. It was such a nice platinum color, unfortunately I wouldn't be able to keep it.

Made simple brunch.
Heading out to EIG office to sign my employment contract. The platinum still looked prominent after applying brown wax, oh well...
Was early, bought Luckin, my delicious laxative.
So cute, regret not keeping the sleeve.
After EIG, had dinner with old man at Hih nasi padang.
So good...
But their tahu telur very average, skip this next time.
Back home, I showed AI Gemini the commission scheme in the employment contract. It described it as a "2-tier Gold Mine". One tier my personal sales commission (not sure if I am capable), another tier the overall store's sales. If the figures are accurate/real, dying hair black is worth it, even if you want my bold also can, 有钱能使鬼推磨， 有钱能叫猪爬树 (in my case is sacrificing my crown glory).

Went nurse shoes hunting, ended up buying Sunny Steps, another S$100+ splurge on a job. I hope this time it's worth it.
Saw Hooga diffuser on sales, but I was too broke already.
Beside Hooga was a random store, saw them selling Korean bongs.
Then ta bao dinner for old man, in return he picked me up.

S$38 G-Spa day pass + 24hrs all you can eat buffet + sauna + jacuzzi for 1st trial. Totally worth it. Original price $80, not sure if I am willing to part the money to laze and eat.
But S$38 was a steal. Old man and Darren were with me, Luis didn't want to.
We planted ourselves in the spa around 10.45am.
The artistic entrance was impressive.
They had small buffet counters, not much items. Other items could be ordered over the counter.
I ordered toast and eggs, the steam food were from the buffet counter.
Comforting coffee shop food.
At 12pm, they had curry chicken! DELICIOUS! Everybody loves it, every table had it.
The kwey chap was good too!
We ate S$38 back at the brunch itself haahaahaa...
Walked around, and saw a creepy looking machine in a therapy room.
We napped for 2hrs inside this "round room".
Water sound from the fountain in the middle of the room was a lullaby, followed by soft snores.
The 3 of us had the work space all by ourselves.
Darren did a bit of school project, I blogged a bit.
Old man had nothing to do, he played games.
This was the dinning area.
We hadn't fully digested lunch, but here's dinner.
Laksa was "hum-less".
Almost half of March was gone.
Took me an afternoon to finish this post while chatting with my AI. Though it's more difficult to find time to blog, but I will not give up, 时间总会有的。
