Sainsbury's

Today, I had the interview for General Assistant at Sainsbury's.

I asked my dad to drive me on Thursday as I would not have the time to do a test run of how long it would take me to Sainsbury's on the bus; since I had to go to volunteer at RSPCA on Friday mornings. So yesterday night, I was hoping my sister would come back home straight away after closing up. But nope, it took her a while to come back; closes at 12midnight and usually takes 30minutes drive to home but it was 00:50 when she came back, because she had to also drive someone else home who lives in Pudsey.

So, it was 01:30 when I got the chance to leave my nephew with his mother.

The interview was to start at 9:30am, so I woke up at 7:00 to get prepared and make my usual egg sandwiches to eat for breakfast. 08:30 left home with my dad driving me there.
Hmm, 09:00 still got plenty of time before interview, so went shopping with my dad in Sainsbury's.
09:15, enough waiting time to go to the customer service desk to ask for interviewer. I was told to follow a security man since he was going to the staff canteen.
09:17, hmm sat at the canteen waiting for the interviewer (head of the department I applied for).
09:30, met with the interviewer and walked with her to a training room. Talking about what the job is, how many people in that department, discounts and schemes. She just asked me several questions about my previous employment and if I enjoyed it and also about what am I doing currently. I was going to ask her questions about "Training and Overtime" but she gave me all the answers before she asked if there were any questions.
09:50, I was asked to watch a dvd with an booklet which I had to write in. Dvd is split into 4sections; mainly about scenarios and numeracy. The interviewer said the dvd would run for about 30minutes.
10:25, finish answering the booklet therefore finish interview.

I decided to explore the mall where Sainsbury's was part of, the mall was not very exciting. I would prefer town to this mall.

What already?

I filled in an application online for Boots and Sainsburys on Monday evening. I thought "Oh, I would not get a reply until next week". Text message on Thursday 08:55 "Great News! Sainsbury's wants to interview you. (more details about reference code and number to ring). That is some fast response. Something is more surprising is, I called at 12 in the afternoon to make an appointment to be interviewed. "Your interview is only been held on Saturday" (Okay I thought). "On 31st October" (What?!! That is just this week?!?).

So yeah, I get 2 days to get ready for the interview BUT... I got to go to charity the next morning as committed to work there for a while.

So wish me luck in getting the job at Sainsbury's. Come by if I get a job... Hahaha! You would not know who I am!

Charity

I have recently started to volunteer at 2 charity shops; RSPCA and Help the Aged. After working there for a few weeks, I realised something, I would buy things from a charity store. I would even go there to buy all my clothes! I have not yet though due to having way enough clothes. But there are alot of decent clothes there, and it is not as if you are not going to wash the clothes.

At the charities store, I have been steaming so many clothes half of which I would not mind buying myself. So recently I have been in the charity shops searching for board books for my nephew to read. I got a "Here's a Happy PIG" board book for him, which would cost only 49p in the charity shop but the staff who working mainly full-time (not manageress) told me I could have the book for free! How cool is that! Well it is quite a small store not as busy as the other charity shop I am volunteering for.

So volunteer at a charity today to change your views about buying from there!

Just last week, there was a Juicy couture hangbag for only £35! But got sold last week when I was working there, telling them it is worth alot of money for a Juicy bag. The customer who bought it, was buying it for her daughter! Fashionable daughter or what!

He loves it so much

He is officially loving the play tunnel! You can hang your other toys there so he is loving it even more. He has not been on his belly in the play tunnel to look at all the different colours that much since he was moaning about it. Due to not experiencing on his belly on the play mat.

Recently, he has discovered his own feet. He constantly grabs his own feet whilst on the bed, baby bouncer and even whilst changing his nappy. He likes to play with his hands also but he discovered his own hands about a few days more.

Nappy Routine

Before every feed time, I always change his nappy. Whilst a bottle is warming up the formula, I go and change my nephew and when I come back for the fomula it usually perfect warmth. Sometimes I do change my nephew after a while after his feed depending if he cries to be changed. As I would not feel great with dirty nappy on me either.

There is a good guide with pictures of how this family changes their child's nappy click here. Only difference that I do compared to them is we use cotton wool with clean water to wipe his bottom not baby wipes. Also we use Sudocrem for his bottom and anywhere that is red when he is about to sleep.

3rd Injection

Aww, poor baby he had his 3rd injection which includes 3 doses of injection into his 2 thighs. This time, he was wide awake so he would be alert for it, ouch.

When we went to our GP for the injection, he was playing happily with the toys provided in the waiting room. We were called to go get the injection. Slowly undressing his trouser down to get to his thighs, still he was happy looking around the room. Suddenly a prick to his thighs, and a dose of scream came afterwards. He does not know what happened but all he knows is that it hurts. I tried to distract him with noises coming out of my mouth. But all he cares about is how much it hurts, so he screams with pain whilst we can only do is wait until all the pricks was over. After it was over, blood poured out onto his onesie but still he was crying for he did not know what happened to him. When the nurse picked him up, he was once again distracted so he forgets why he was crying for.

I was a bit unsure about what would happen when I give him a bath later today. So I gently stroked his 2 thighs but no screams at all came. Therefore I knew it would find to give him a bath in the evening.

Today, before the dreaded injection for the baby I went to the Charity shop to volunteer but I forgot that helping in RSPCA. I am not saying I hate animals as I hate cruelty to all living things but I am not fond of animals as scared of being scratched and bitten and all. Well I like the manager there so might as well do some volunteering there. All I mainly did was steam clothes, funny thing she said but was vital for people to know is they do not sell knickers! Eew gross, I wonder if anyone gave charity a fricking knickers!... I bet they have.

Rolley Polley

My nephew rolled over by himself for the first time yesterday! I taped it but it is not for non-relatives to see :P It was so good to see him roll over for the first time! So clever, I am hoping to teach him sign language to tell us what he wants/needs as sometimes it is difficult to know what he wants to do. I shall follow what this lady wrote which is ever so good and her child is so intelligent!

Comment to give me advice to teach to my nephew if you want.


Massage the baby daily, very good for babies. A health visitor recently came to our house to check up on my nephew and my sister, and ask us if we massaged him as he looks glossy cheeks. :3 My doing for the massaging my nephew's cheeks. I did not read up that it is good for the baby to massage them. I just wants to massage his adorable cute cheeks and every time I do it he just loves it with a big smile.

What's up with your hair?

Why do people like to put their hair parting so far to one side that it looks unnatural? Okay, to try put the hair parting to one side but not so far to the side that it looks as if you are wearing a wig!

Look at this hairstyle whilst I was on the internet browsing I can't remember what site but this looks so unnatural.



I just can't see how that would work in public of outside. It would look as if the wind had blown their hair like that.

Well, I just have to get use to the fact that people think that looks good. For me, that would just look too fake and forced the hair parting to be like that. Even though, I have got quite a big forehead, I would never consider to do a hair parting which is not comfortable for me.

Windows7 party pack!

We got ours recently. Did you?

Inside the package is: limited Signature Edition of Windows® 7 Ultimate 32 & 64-bit, one poster, one puzzle, one deck of playing cards, napkins and 10 tote bags all featuring one-of-a-kind Windows® 7 Desktop Designs. The tote bags are very pretty.

Can't wait to celebrate the Windows7 Party.

Nose cauterised

I just had this procedure done to me today.

At first, they put some local anesthetic on a cotton wool and stuffed in both of my nose hole.
I had to wait in the waiting room for about 3minutes to let the anesthetic do it's magic.
Then I was brought back to the doctors room, where he used some sort of stick onto my nose. From the looks on the internet research, I think it is probably silver nitrate. I felt some sort of stick scraping onto my nose cartilage.

After the procedure had been done, my gosh I could not sneezing! I sneezed about 5times within 1minutes in the doctors room afterwards.

I was told to use Naseptin Nasal cream daily on my nose to stop any infection to occur. It sure does smell quite bad.

Damn, ever since I had my nose done, my nose keeps on running with liquid snot.

Urm, not sure if the treatment has done well as at the moment, I have a freaking nosebleed already! I guess it takes time to heal though.

Well, I'll try to update you guys on how my nose is.

Looking after a baby

It is not as easy as it looks.

Next week, I am babysitting everyday for my sister as she is going to 100% own one of my dad's shop. It is going to be tough like hell. I know as I am already babysitting on certain days for almost a whole day and it takes a toll on the guardian/parent(s) looking after the child.

It is unpredictable what a baby need at certain times. Sometimes it is okay, since you know that the child might have not eaten in certain hours so it would be feeding time but other than that hard to know what the problem is.

I think the MAIN points which a baby might need is:
Feed
Sleep
Changing Nappy
Burping/Wind
Comfort/Playtime

There are probably more but my brain is not functioning 100% at the moment, but those points are about correct.

ALWAYS note down what time the baby eats! Luckily at home, we have a white board nailed on our door that we recently bought before my sister had her child. I would recommend anyone to buy some sort of whiteboard, as you can rub off the times about how much and time the baby feeds at.

Sometimes a baby wants to sit/lay on their own, we have a baby bouncer and my nephew likes to sometimes sit in there and not be picked up constantly.

If a baby cries and you have done most of the points, most likely to be WIND. It is hard to check for WIND as it sometimes takes a while for the child to be winded down. Sometimes it takes a good half an hour for them to burp. (NOTE! My nephew does not cry for over half an hour to be burped).

BE CAREFUL about breast feeding, as for a temporary babysitter, it is hard for my nephew to settle down for sleep at night without my sister's nipples now. For some reason, my nephew does not like his dummy.

I'll talk more about baby stuff about my nephew another time. Ciao!

Does this work?

I am trying to write a blog for simplicity on igoogle and I was just wondering if it worked. I shall add another post which I was going to rant about but I forgot to. Ciao bella!

Moo

My brother is going to Cambridge today to start his first year at Cambridge College. I shall not tell you what course he is doing as there's probably only a few Chinese people doing that course ha ha ha!

Yesterday was hectic for me, I sorted out all of my brother's stuff which he was going to bring to university. Hopefully I have not left anything out. I used this guide from thestudentroom.co.uk which helped dearly, Cheers!
But they forgot to add to bring SNACKS, ha ha! I added some snacks for my brother in his tupperware; I'm not too sure if he would kill me or not for not listening to him to not bring snacks for him to eat. Well, I added quite a few extras in my brother's luggages, boxes and bags which would hopefully help him.
