Embarrassing moment at work-

I have trouble recognizing customers coz I only always look at their pair of clueless eyes when I talk to them. So if a pending customer move away from their spot while I am in the staff room looking for answer. I won’t be able to tell which is the one who enquired by the time I come out of staff rooms with the answers they need.

And since I only recognize their clueless pairs of eyes. I had to look at each and every customer’s eyes to pick the lost sheep out. Everyone standing around in the shop is there to enquire on things, so either way, all of them have clueless eyes, a few have angry eyes.

The lost sheep I serve today have stern eyes. So I was browsing around for stern eyes owner. I saw one which is very similar, so I give him eye contact ‘the look’ thinking “are u the one??” so he gave me ‘the look’back while maybe thinking somewhere around “you work here/yes?/can u help me?” Upon receiving the look, I was almost sure he is the lost sheep. So I went up to him and confirmed with him only to find out that he wasn’t really lost until he spoke to me. Wrong target from me for sure, then the real lost sheep decided to tap my shoulder from the back while laughing silently…

Interpretation could lead to disaster sometimes, depending on each individual. Hearing the same sentence might pull one down to abyss or give them a new life, it is really kind of scary. Sometimes it’s not as simple as the half cup full or half cup empty although that is the common example for many things.

For instance

“You are the first one I look for when I need help.” could lead people to think

-u take me for granted, u only look for me when I need help

-Great, I am the first person you think of, I must be ur important person

( you could predict the outcome for both of these thoughts? Either be heartless and not help because he might be making use of u or maybe not, or help him while looking on the bright side but he might be making u of u, endlessly.)

Or this sentence

“do you think I am boring?”

-Omg, you are a very negative person forever worrying only about how people think of u

-U cared about how I think of you, sweet! That means I mean something to u.

-*deep thoughts* why ask me such a question, which one you wanna hear?

(just how much does this affect a friendship of someone who would ask this question.)

Most of the time negative thinking is not the way to go coz it only ends up putting themselves in unneeded pain. A thinking too positive however, would sometimes make a smart person do many, many foolish things although not necessarily stupid. Even knowing the highest possibility of bad outcomes, they rather take on the low chances of it happening the good way. Such irony I feel but yet nothing could be done. Asking myself a dozen why, and only getting the answer

Because they are only human.

Obviously I have either heard smelled eat shit seen feel on something that made me post something as useless as above but who cares, lets continue with my lame blogging.

Yesterday I had a normal working day, which is as boring as usual. So nothing much to talk about, except how idiotic I was when I take mrt home.

I off work at about 7 30 pm weekday, so when it was about 6 30pm. I am already thinking of what to do or eat later. For yesterday, the 1^st food that comes into mind was of coz ‘the praline’. It was stuck in my mind the moment it flashes across, nothing I do could keep it out. But I was too busy to fully hallucinate it being in my mouth. After work though, when I was on the mrt, taking from raffles place -> city hall -> dhoby ghaut. I found a place to seat thus being able to relax and day dream about how to eat the mooncake later. And is the filling gonna be crushed mixed, or in a perfect shape. Then am I going to take one big bite to smash the ‘yolk’ or shall I eat around it. Halfway my day dream, I heard the “ding dong. Sommerset, sommerset.”

Bought one box

After 24 hours....

Yeap, I miss my stop because of the cursed praline. It was worth while though, coz it made me think about it while drooling all the way when I walked home, the distance seems shorter when I think of something.

Anyway, the notice board I ‘ordered’ is finally here. I had a hard time twisting the hangers into the wooden frame before I found out from Xiao hei that I could actually use pliers to do the hard job for me. You know what does it prove? No~ not that I am stupid, it proves that I have strong pliers fingers~~ hail to moi fingers. *say it the ang mor way*

Anyhow, this is how it end up looking, diagonally above my tortoise. At least I will stop loosing anything classified as paper now.

In the morning today when I check my purse. I found that one of my shopping member card is missing. I dug my bag and all, and found nothing. I thought it dropped in another bag, so I lose it at the back of my mind. During lunch time today at a hawker center, I saw the same black card on the floor under the table I am sitting. I thought~ “oh no, someone drop their member card here, maybe I could give it to my friend so she can enjoy extra discounts.” Then when I bend over to pick it, I saw a debit card very similar to mine right beside the member card and thought “wow, this owner is using the same bank as me, so ‘qiao’ (coincident), same member card, same bank, same debit card somemore, how ‘qiao’ can things get.”

When I picked it up and turn the cards over, they all had my name on it.

Dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot…………………………………………… LAME!!!

I have sinned terribly today.

First

I didn’t go work because I decided to take advantage of the extra MC I got, I am not exactly still sick until I cannot go work, but I decided to be lazy and then I feel guilty about it coz I heard there are other branch with good sales. And without me, they must have really bad sales. Actually even with me, I think their sales didn’t improve much also, that’s why I still can’t figure out why they are so happy seeing me. After ditching them for 2 days, I wonder if they will still be happy seeing me tomorrow. A little afraid seeing their faces tomorrow, coz I really feel guilty, maybe I shouldn’t do that next time.

Second

I bought lots of moon cakes, eight boxes. 1 for someone another 2 for another someone and the rest is for me and my cousins. I tried ‘Ebony & Ivory’ Whisky Chocolate Praline today from Marriott and it was awesome. I had my unique tactics to eat it in order to enjoy every bit of it. This is the list of moon cakes I bought though, don’t worry, they’re not all for me.

2 x White Lotus Seed Paste with Single Yolk
2 x Ebony & Ivory' Whisky Chocolate Praline snowskin
2 x Durian snowskin
1 x Wild Strawberry Yogurt snowskin
1 x Blueberry Cheese snowskin

Yeap yeap, total of 8 boxes, an unbelievable amount coming from me, but I don’t regret, they were farkinlicious, excuse my semi vulgarities.

The 3^rd sin isn’t exactly what the norms would regard as a sin, but to me, it is nonetheless something bad. After eating the 2^nd praline the sweetness got to me somehow, deep down into my twisted brain. Anyone hear reading my blog should have known how “Close” me and my brothers are. As in real blood brother kind of brother. Anyway, just an update for the already know but not much friends. I haven’t talk to the elder one for about half a year or more. And the younger one? Only when there is computer or network issues affecting all our internet usage. Back to the topic, the sweetness of two farkinlicious praline short circuited one of my brain wave and it goes haywire, as I open the fridge to hunt for drinks, I saw the praline sitting there and both my brother at the living room, I decide to take the beautiful box and go to each of them and ask them to try one coz its really, really, really, nice. I put the praline back into the box and forgot all about my purpose of going to the fridge in the first place but that is not the point. I talked to my brother for no apparent reason, that is the shockiness of the whole matter. Being sweet is not very me, being sweet to my brothers is definitely not me, being sweet to my elder brother is SUPER not me. Yes maybe sometimes my cousins or my sisters but my brothers??? I think the chocolate angel decided to sabotage me. That is why I am only gonna eat one praline per day from now on. No more haywire behavior, it is unacceptable.

4 ^th

I didn’t stop after 2 praline, I went on with half a strawberry yogurt and half a blueberry cheese.

So yes, I have multi sinned.

I think tomorrow morning I gonna eat one more praline, and guess what, I just recovered from some ate the wrong food problems this morning.

S&A

Today, I am sick and angry. Sick nauseous sick, and sick dizzy sick, and sick eyes a lot of black, black shadows sick. I did the about to puke action in front of a customer while talking halfway and knows that it is time to go home. Took an early off from my manager and everyone thought I am pregnant. Tmd..

Not angry because of that though..

Angry No1.

I thought I almost couldn’t make it home so I sat at Cathay and phoned moo, but his phone was in another room charging thus not hearing my SOS call. I end up holding my head with both my hand to keep it straight literally and walked all the way home.

Angry No2.

Moo feeling too sick, but too busy at the same time playing dota and make phone sales thus not being able to let me snuggle up to him in bed even when I requested him to. Since he had just enough energy to play dota and didn’t have the energy to lie in bed and let me snuggle up to him.* I must be a fat and heavy piece of meat thus made him think doing that needs a lot more energy than then playing dota when he is sick*

Angry No3.

After finishing his daily duties of playing dota and making sales, he went back to sleep while I was trying to get some sleep. It didn’t help when moo do the nightly sleep in the middle of the bed thingy. It was tolerable almost every other day but not today, which result in this blog in the making while I am still feeling sick and angry.

The in between *'s is not the real reason I am angry, I am just trying to be sarcastic. The above 3 angry factor leads me to remember all the other events which I feel he had failed terribly as a man and lover and made me hate him like hell. ( I guess most emotional female species does that )

Thus resulting in the sick and angry me.

Tom and Jerry

I am sure many have heard and seen this cartoon. It Is one of my childhood entertainment too and it seems they are replaying it in some scv channels. (not sure which)

Anyway, the reason I mention this is because of a similarity I found in this 2 guys who are friends with each other. It is amazing and amusing to watch how they manage to stay friends for life yet wanting to kill each other most of the time. The usual Jerry doing 101 stupid things to Tom and Tom wanting to kill Jerry but never succeeded in his endless attempt. As contradicting as these 2 may be, the show can’t go on without them. As much as anyone hope that they would peace up and love each other, it would end up really boring if that really happens. That is why the usual 30 mins of anger and tricks which seems like a routine might not be a bad thing too. At least that is how I like to think of the 2.

There are some fierce disagreement within the staff today before I reach my work place, but amazingly enough, when I got there, the working hours started and everyone have faces with golden smiles hanging, and you can’t find any trace of unhappiness among their faces. I guess that is what customer service is like. Another reason is because they are happy to see me there, for some reason they love me to be there, probably because I look harmless. I am glad to know that they are glad to see me.

Watched Eragon and The hills have eyes II today at work. I tio scared halfway during work while also watching the scary show and had customers laughing at me. It was quite a good day though, it wasn’t as boring as I expected maybe coz the working hours isn’t that long. My superior made my day too, he was checking with me on the sales almost every 2 hours in hope that he could meet his target. He was trying to pressure me for the sake of seeing my worried face, but unluckily for him, I could tell that he is just trying to scare me. So in my defense, I asked if he would buy the product that I am selling for his own use … that question strike him dumb for 3 seconds before he walk off with a guilty but hysterical whispering laughter saying “good question” which of coz, I couldn’t get an answer from, ever! So he stop ka jiao-ing me after that.

I went to sommerset to collect my mobile, forgot to bring my mobile to work and got moo to take it there for me, unfortunately he is running late for work too so I had to go there and collect after work. It was one of the days where out of the 46252 days u forgot to bring your phone once and felt awkward throughout the day… luckily I didn’t have much use for the phone this weekend.

Tomorrow will be a day to half look forward to, due to the fact that moo has gotten a better job and I am stuck doing the same job without his help. He sent his brother down and help me though, a little curious about how his brother is like during work, yet a little wary of doing the wrong things myself without moo coz of the big black boss. At least with moo around, we can share the blame, but with only me around who knows what is going on, I would have to long kang everything if anything bad happens.

I think now I need the god bless sms the anonymous send me.

The wall repair man couldn’t stand the ugliness of the repaired wall, and insist that I get it painted, but his company intend to charge me extra $50 for it, so I decide to discard the painting service and do something about the wall myself, but he told me yesterday “nvm la, the company don’t do it for u, I do it for u. Tomorrow I come back and paint it, but I can’t garuntee if I can find the right color for your wall” I was glad, thinking he is such a nice chap. He came back today carrying a tin containing less than 10% left of paint. Diff color from my wall which I didn’t mind coz my cousin said it looks more refreshing. My baby pink is old …. The paint wasn’t done well though, coz of the lack of material. I am thankful enough though, it could be a lot worse. At least now I don’t have to sleep beside an ugly wall. I am thinking of using posters or wallpaper from DIY shop to decorate it. The wallpapers from winkplay is far too over my budget. I saw about similar one from Heeren which cost about $59.90. I thought it will be about that price, but seeing how the person told me to put a deposit of $150,it just didn’t sound cheap enough for me.

There is a one big space in my room now and it feels more spacious. I am very glad I made this arrangement although I end up hurting my back and neck. I am very, very happy with my arrangement but not in the mood to laugh yet coz my back really kind of hurt, and there is work which requires me to stand a whole day tomorrow, but I am still happy, really.

I was suppose to meet viki for a buffet dinner today but couldn’t make it due to the unexpected time taken to get everything done. I was quite disappointed, I miss out the one time I could have to enjoy sashimi buffet, and above all that, I didn’t get to see Viki and Cass. I heard they had incredible time outside when passerby made comment on Cass. The only bad thing is there is a little accident because of an act of idiocy by his dad, I hope Cass is alright. I pray that Kelvin won’t get murdered by Viki tonight too.

Like godmother like godson, both injured and can’t smile or laugh for today. I am starting to doubt if I am fit to be called god ma of Cass since I haven’t been seeing him after his full month. Oh man, I feel guilty. His mittens and footies is still with me actually after the cleaning up I can’t remember where I hid it, I guess I have to dig it up.

As for me, he is enjoying his new USB flash drive, I am not sure if it is the right thing to buy for him though, he intends to use it to play mp3 from his com during class instead of storing relevant study materials. I feel like punching him till all the excess oil in his body burst out.

Other then everything that happens today, I am going back to my boring work tomorrow, this job has been the hardest type of job to be in, not that the job is hard or anything, just that the hours seems really long although it’s not really THAT long, it just feels long, and I hate jobs that makes me feel like the hours are crawling.

On top of every other thing, I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room. I love my new table and my new furniture arrangement in my room.

From today I could play lan games using game controller providing I have the time.

So I went to Sim Lim as my first stop for table hunting, it turned out to be my last too, I went V.Hive, and saw the table that is just stable enough, not as fragile looking as those totally glass one. Half wooden half glass, its build in a way that the glass shouldn’t break easily since its very well supported. Not only that, its tampered glass too. It took me some time to find it though, coz I have to check each and every measurement of the tables. I have never known the difference between the normal glass and tampered glass, but I after hearing what the salesman have to say, I did some real test on it. The surface remain as beautiful as it can be even after pen knife cuts, multiple knocks from everywhere, pressing my body weight on it, fingernail scratch, hard knocks on a spot for several time. It seems stable, not somewhat stable kind of stable, but really, really stable. It’s good that I get to skip the rest of the trip. I decided on this table in the end.

Went up and hunt for a mouse and headphone, bought both of this but I got myself a USB game controllers too so I can play ps1 game on computer, but the whole process of games from ps2 runs really, really, really, really, really slow on any cpu. It irritates the hell out of me, it looks like you are watching a slow-mo movie. Even running on the best computer doesn’t work. I guess they need to really work on upgrading the ps2 emulator, can’t wait. So now I have 3 game controller, one a little bit faulty but you can still use it, just that the analog button requires some skill to activate. I guess I will give it to moo’s brother.

On my way home I bought Vitasoy again, usually I have my maid buy it for me thus not being updated about new flavor, and I saw this!!

I bought it of coz, but compare this 2.

I prefer the melon one, the taro one taste a bit weird, moo likes it though, so I will have him finish the whole 6 packets. Its been I awhile since I last drank flavored vitasoy, loving it.

Bought this too.

Its not some funny fake grapes ok, I just didn't bother to anti clockwise that picture.

Its a baby grape! How cute

Came home feeling excited about tomorrow and the next day, can’t wait, really. I went home and contacted the person selling PQI I810 2 gig, it’s a flash drive. 2 gig, a little expensive but it’s a present I owe my cousins and I want it to be something pleasant to the eyes yet useful to them. Well, it is so called the world’s tiniest USB flash drive, it can be used as a mobile phone accessory, it is really, really small, quite cute. So, why not?

I dug out a sim card laying around in my room, and took a photo of it with the flash drive side by side. I called her, met her up, and get the 3 flash drive, 2 for my cousins one for moo, well he is still studying, might as well.

This pic is showing the 1 GB, I bought the 2 GB but the size remains the same.

I saw some interesting things today online, well spree thingy, and I almost went on crazy spree-ing, but I controlled myself well and I am proud of it. After spending so much on presents and maintenance, I can’t afford to spree much more. I am still thinking which to buy. Btw, here are some of the things I saw.

Do not eat, it may look like chocoate and taste like chocolate, but it is really not.

Maybe you can wear it on your hamster?

I showed my cousin they love it too.

I especially like the coaster and the memo pad.

Can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table can’t wait for my new table.

I receive a call from anonymous yesterday, she is a M1 prepaid card user, same as me. She top up her credit through atm machines and this time, she pressed a wrong number, instead of

***4****

She pressed

***1****

The *** are all the same numbers. The credit went into my number, so she called me at night in hope I would top the credit back to her. Did you think I would? Yes I did. I topped it back up to her today after a few phone calls. I was planning to do it anyway, I just didn’t want to get my butt off my sofa in the comfort of my air con room that is. After I top it back up to her, I sent her a msg.

“If I had known I can get $18 free credit, I would have ignored your incoming call, hee hee”

She replied me,

“I was prepared, but you sounded sincere. Anyway, GOD BLESS, whether u r a Christian or not.”

And then I was thinking

“if I had known you would say “god bless” to me in caps, I would never have helped you.”

I didn’t send the last msg to her though, I thought it’s quite a sensitive thing to say, better avoid it.

A n y w a y s …..

It’s a boring day today, I guess I am too use to working life, I feel a little awkward staying at home. So I took some time and see what needs to be done at home, housework for sure, keep my room neat and all, then the walls. I have to get the cracks and all cause by the air con leakage previously fixed. Its gonna cost a bit I guess, I e-mailed the whoever company from yellow pages, I hope I get a reply soon coz I need to get everything done by Friday. Other than that, I got an old stinky damaged table to replace. I already made a plan on how to arrange my furniture. I took time to take measurements of all the size needed and made a simple paint “floor plan” of the room.

Black - Wall
Red - Bed
Blue - Wardrobe
Yellow - Cabinet
Aqua - Shelves
Purple - Coffee table
Green - Sofa
Gray - Computer table
White - Empty/Floor

I browsed for some nice wallpaper as well and a few caught my eye.

Just see the wallpaper, ignore the furnitures...

I don’t really know how to put them up though, guess I have to visit their retail outlet and check them out. Of coz I am not gonna paste it on all four walls. I wonder what the price is like too, depending on the price I might not even get it, hope it’s cheap.

On the other hand, I can’t decide what kind of table to choose from, Glass / Wooden. The reason I thought of using a glass top table

is because I always forget the coaster whenever I put cold drinks on the table, it would cause those bob out bubbles on wooden surface. On the other hand, I am not sure if glass top table will remain in one piece under my tender loving care. I literally throw many things on the table, keys, specs, mobile phones, pens, all those little things. I don’t really want the table to break apart without even reaching a year of usage. Not only that, I need to make sure the table don’t exceed 150 x 60, I guess height is pretty much standardized. I am looking for those really simple table with 4 legs and a table top kind. Coz it’s easier to clean that way. Don’t want planked leggings, no drawers no nothing. Just 4 legs and a top. The only reason why I find it so hard to make a decision is because of the limited range I can get from the size I want. So far I’ve only seen glass table top which matches the size. I was hoping I see wooden ones when I visit the stores tomorrow. Still searching online for more, please let me find it, my ideal table. Maybe I really need the god bless that woman sms-ed me. Noooo I didn’t just said that. ß Erase *ahem*

Okies, so I guess its gonna be busy coming days, I have to contact the paint fella, then hunt for the right table size, and also make a time to arrange all the furnitures. I had to do some shopping for moo too, wait for the soon to be bought table to arrive and them make necessary arrangement again. Then do another thorough cleaning once and for all, all before Friday. For once I hope the agency don’t slot jobs in between these times so I can get things done properly.

Was suppose to meet the usual suspect on sat for a movie but somehow it was cancelled. A new date came up when mich needs to shop for black jeans and shoes for her new job at k box which starts tomorrow. Spend the whole day jeans and shoes hunting with mich and bear. It turned out quite fruitful and she got everything she needed. Since moo has to work that day, he missed this trip.

Mich finally found her jeans after some shopping at Bugis and Far East Plaza. It took quite sometime but I am glad we found it, I can’t wait to get discounts off k box on the next visit. Will I ??

We end up at Cineleisure at one point of time and walked pass this cart and I saw something familiar. Any Naruto fan would recognize it at one shot. The infamous frog purse which Naruto use. I couldn’t help but ask for the price. I expected something like $15, but since it was bout half the price of what I expected, I decide to give it some thinking. To buy or not to buy, I made mich do my usual decision making game, scissors paper stone. If I win, I buy. Unfortunately I didn’t win, but jayson commented that I should have played with the cart owner instead, it would be fair to him this way. It was just his casual comment but I took it for real. Well I didn’t know he was joking, so I made the cart owner play scissors paper stone with me and I win this time, thus I bought this ugly little thing. Ugly but adorable, maybe not too adorable to those who know nothing about it, but yeah, it’s good enough for me.

Our bear was feeling sick that day though but decides to only tell us at the end of the day so he won’t spoil our shopping trip. That’s not the only thing that was disturbing him too, it is the 1^st time he ever go out with 2 girls and no guys around him. Being his usual quiet self, he feels awkward I guess, the headache he had didn’t help one bit, he finally surrender to being a sick man and tell us he needed medication. We brought him to our usual road side café and ordered porridge for him. Being the sick man he is, he doesn’t seems to be able to eat properly so mich took the liberty to decorate him a little.

Remember how those baby napkins look like? Yeah, there you go.

Head back to my place for medication and rest while waiting for moo to arrive for our usual night movie session, we wanted to watch 881 but the tickets were out, and the time slots didn’t have mercy on us so we went for dead silence instead. The whole movie was kind of scary here and there, but there is no after effect fear. In fact, the movie itself was meaningless. If anyone wants to enjoy a scary movie without the side effect, well this would be something u should go for, but its utter meaningless but unexpected ending with a little lameness turns me off somehow. I still enjoy the process though, seeing how mich cover her eyes most of the time made me feel brave. Hohoho.

Work was fine today, but I think I got into a little trouble, not sure, we’ll see next week. Other than that, it’s just the normal angry explaining and trying not to kill the Indians process, both the boss and the customers. I have to say though, I really had nothing against Indians, I even have Indian friends. Just that somehow or rather, the people there drives me crazy. Oh yeah~ I just remember, the dinner they bought us today was horrible, ( yes dinner is provided ) it is chicken rice ok, I can tell after some observation, but I tell you, it is more suited be called cucumber rice. There are only 2 slice of chicken and plentiful cucumber, not only that, the chicken tasted like rotten raw eggs. I had to finish the packet coz I was really hungry, and I didn’t really want to leave my post for dinner, I didn’t have much cash with me either. After my ordeal with the cucumber rice, my comment on the chicken spreads around the booth and they boycott the dinner provided for proper meals, its only then that the person in charge realize how terrible the “chicken rice” is and let us claim $$ for our own meals. I shouldn’t be so greedy and ate first, damn it. Really.

There is one other thing which I feel a little pissed about, after numerous emails to my usual travel agency in Melbourne, none of them was replied. I am still waiting for their reply and I feel very tired of emailing them again. Maybe I shouldn’t buy tickets from them again.

I feel utterly disgusted today. I will start the story of why…

It was a normal morning, go to work as usual, but today I didn’t feel as tired, I slept early yesterday night coz of sudden sore throat and flu, running nose etc. I thought I was about to die if I don’t sleep early this time. Wake up this morning feeling fresh, all the running nose etc was gone and only sore throat is left, but I feel healthy and really, really fresh. Good start.

Went to work and my normal gang is late so I left the MRT station 1^st, saw Fabian (another colleague) on the way to the bus station and go to work together, as usual he is one who talks really, really fast and I always have him repeat at least three times before I catch what he is saying. On the bus this time I wasn’t sleeping coz we’re talking more than usual and I notice the familiar thing at the back of each and every bus seats at the last few rows.

Doesn’t it look like those buses you usually see passing by secondary schools? Aaaahh those were the days.

Anyway, when we reach the school and I stop at my usual drink stall at the canteen and bought my morning drink. Today I bought the herbal longan drink that is supposed to be cooling on this hot sunny day. I recommended it to Fabian too since I really love the drink but he decided to buy it later. Reach my work place and set everything up, I finish half of it and tried to dig for longan before I finish the whole drink. As I was doing that, I saw something which shouldn’t be there, it’s not part of the longan, it’s not part of the ice or straw. It’s a nose hair!!! How did I even tell it’s a nose hair and not some eye lashes or eyebrow. Because!!! IT has SNOT wrapped over it. OMG… I almost puke… I felt like a lot of air came up from my tummy and I swear I really felt like puking. It’s a SNOT! In my DRINK! OMG… the last time I find a roaches nymph in my drink I didn’t feel like puking as much. Seriously, it’s disgusting. The snot is definitely not mine, coz I would have notice if something this BIG came out of my nose, besides the cup was covered before I start digging for longan.

About 5 minutes after I throw my half empty cup of contaminated drink. I saw Fabian happily walking towards us from the canteen sipping the last bit of his herbal longan drink from his cup. Me and my friends were looking at his happy face and thought we should break the news to him. Thinking of how canteen usually work, they would have filled the cups with drinks from specific tanks of different drinks, and there is a huge possibility the snot was already inside the tank and it was just distributed into my cup. Fabian’s face turned pale after he heard about the snot drink and look at his cleanly emptied cup left with some melted ice which he was still trying to sip 10 seconds ago. The look on his face was priceless, but it’s not something I can really enjoy since I am the first victim – the founder of the snot drink.

The whole gang couldn’t stop reminding me about the snot the whole day, and for each and every time they do that, I felt like the gust of air is travelling from my stomach to my mouth.

There goes the snot story.

I can’t even start blogging about how the rest of the day is like coz I feel very, very disturbed and disgusted by the tragedy and very, very affected by it.

Omg, I still feel like puking now. bye bye.

Went to work today, fell asleep almost the whole time I was on MRT. It has been a while since I’ve taken MRT on daily basis alone. Work was still fine as we can “koop” some coupons if we know how to. Got some for my friends and cousin, and getting more for my cousins tomorrow.

I was thinking of getting the zouk ticket and hmv voucher, but I wonder if the person will let me. I gonna koop some tomorrow if possible.

The moment I reached school, I saw all the weird colored drink when I walk pass the canteen, some pink some green some light blue, and I saw that the light blue one was coconut milk tea. Really, really pale light blue/green.

I was curious on how it taste like so I bought it to try, the taste was unique - in a bad way, I would never buy it ever ever again.

While transfering my photo I found this photo which was taken on my sunday job, when they made us put those stupid temp tattoo on our hands. Might as well upload it too. Its lame really, I had to scrub it off when i reach home.

Back to today.

I still do my usual lame jokes to pass the time, and still cursing the usual lazy bunch of guys, for some reason, just the guys, male species of human being. That usual bunch are always the lazy ones. Sitting around doing nothing and didn’t make our job easier standing around our working space and blocking our path. This is one of the reasons why I don’t like working with guys sometimes. They could be doing nothing and still won’t help me when I am carrying heavy things. Their asses are stuck to their chair and the chairs are stuck to the ground like - forever~~

Lunch was always a hell of a torture, for one meal you got to queue for 30 mins. The canteen in NTU was filled with students! All students! The queue for meals is so, so long sometimes I feel like I should just skip it. Fast food wasn’t fast food anymore, but then again, I can’t resist the cheap price they offer.

So far working in singtel has got me some freebies, not always but well, it’s good enough. Pasta mania voucher. Movie tickets, soon to come is zouk tickets and hmv voucher I think. Most of the time I just give them to anyone around me if I have extra. I was hoping they give me a stack of hmv voucher, I wish I wish. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, free milo.

Feeling really tired today especially coz I forgot my specs, looking at everything far seems to make me a whole lot more tired. Got to remind myself to wake up earlier tomorrow so I won’t go in a rush and forgets everything.

Starting to miss swimming, wondering when is my next swimming trip gonna be, I am getting fatter and fatter.

Work was quite fun today, it turned out that I am grouped with the usual, truly I am glad, I get to disturb them every now and then and make fun out of our boring working hours. Saw a familiar face, really familiar. I didn’t remember who he is and we talked like there is no tomorrow. Remembered where I know him an hour after he left, me and my colleagues went “oh yeah! That one every Sunday one.” Our Sunday colleague so he is. I was quite amazed coz I don’t remember making any new friends but I know this face somewhere, guess I have really bad memory after all.

After that it’s just the 101 ways to catch people’s attention to the products on your hand. It’s kind of fun especially when three girls are in a group. *miss my usual suspects* then again, I can’t imagine how working life with them will be like. Probably as lame as now or perhaps lamer.

Although I had my usual fun working life, but a phone call spoilt all my appetite. Not gonna say that in details, it’s just some phone call from someone who acts like she care about me once in a blue moon coz something came up and she needs support, either that or she is trying to get something out of my mouth so that she can do something with it that would keep her safe but get me into trouble. This time, I kept my mouth shut on any opinions and make her know that she is not getting anything out of me. To hell with her gutless evil plans. She is smart on such tactics, and although I am not too smart, I am not stupid enough to get into this kind of trouble.

I got to sleep early tonight, the lack of sleep lately has taken its toll on me, my face look haggard and things are starting to grow on it. How come my spotless face always never last for more than a month, is my lifestyle that bad for my skin?

The good thing is, I dread going to work before I know who my partners in crime would be, but since they’re that certain bunch, I am glad that my next 5 days won’t be a hell for me. After that its gonna be the boring bunch at another location again. Not exactly boring but since we always didn’t have much time to talk rubbish it turned out boring for me.

The bad thing is, I am eating lesser and working more and more, yet I don’t see a change in my weight. Why why why??

It was fun yesterday for some reason, it’s been a while since more than just boys hang around at my place over the night, I enjoyed the time spent last night although the boys were playing Dota most the time. Our bear accidentally entered a server my brother hosted for Dota and it ended up as a battle among Moo, Bear, Brother’s friends VS brother and gang. It was a fun battle although I didn’t understand any of it, I saw moo and bear constantly trying to kill my brother and gang, although it was ruthless but I thought it was sweet. I am sure my brother had fun too. On my side I heard some interesting story from Michelle and was looking forward to finding out more. I am sure we could be better friends if given the time.

Work today was a little chaotic. A few things happen, but in a good way. It made my working day today interesting.

First I was really sleepy coz I didn’t get enough sleep yesterday, my eye lids are drooping, but it lasted till I remember I could use some water splash to wake myself up. Smoke extra lot today to keep myself away too. The computer was down almost the whole busy hours, so I practically had almost nothing to do.

There was a weird Indian man who took polite gesture like rude commands though, moo kind of made the “please go over there” hand sign like what an air stewardess usually do. The man went crazy and start scolding him, and when I look at him, he had one eye ball looking at me and one eye ball looking at moo, yeap, there is something wrong with his eyes. I couldn’t tell who he was scolding until he said “ tell your friend ar, don’t anyhow point.” Most of the people watching at the back didn’t know who he is scolding too. I was mad at his madness and scolded him back but he didn’t stop being unreasonable.

Finally another kind Indian man pulled him to the back and had a talk with him and he left. Those people behind us couldn’t hold back their laughter the moment he stepped away. A few boring hours went by after that…

A while after that I bought 100 plus and sat down, a few sips after, a brawl started right in front of the road show booth where I am working at. It was Little India, a place where all the Indians loiter around on weekends. Been there many, many weekends but I have to say, this is the 1^st time I witness any brawl there. The street fight just started out of nowhere without warning, no obvious dispute or quarrel was heard before it. It went from all the way of my left to all the way to my right. I just sat there under the hot, hot sun, sipping my can of 100 plus and looking at the vulgar brawl. I had thought of digging out my phone from my big fat bag and take a video or photo of it, but I figured by the time I do that, the curious crowd would have block any sight of them from my camera. So I just sat there… sipping… I notice some colleagues of mine climb up chairs and booth table I order to see the brawl too, I was too lazy to do that although I was all curious about what is going on. The sun was just too piercing.

Other than that, I had the rest of the day relaxing coz my black boss wasn’t around for some reason, nothing good or bad, just didn’t feel like seeing him around as he always give us unnecessary pressure just because he wasn’t willing to take responsibility of any of his faults. At least now that he is not around, we know that any faults would surely be our responsibility instead of some random blames being thrown onto us. For some reason, I feel much better this way.

Tomorrow is another new day coz I am posted to a different location which I initially thought its my cousin’s school if not at least near, it didn’t turn out that way though, a little disappointed especially I even agreed to the ridiculously early working hours just because I thought I could disturb her at school.

What the hell was I thinking…..

It was the usual Saturday just that I didn’t have to go to work today coz of some sudden change of plan from Singtel. It was good that I can have another off day out of this full month though, tomorrow is back to work day at little india.

Something bad happen today, not exactly today but well, I just found out today. It was terrible; really, I could easily call it my most embarrassing incident of the decade. On national days 2 days ago, remember I blog about how we planned for a k box session thus needing my red shirts which our friend offered to carry for us. In the end we didn’t go k box and left our singtel uniform in his bag. Remember that? Yeah… What I didn’t realize is, I had a piece of undergarment which was part of my Disney undergarments collection, stuck on the shirt when I took it from my clean laundry basket. I only found out today coz, apparently when his mum was doing his laundry, found that piece of pink undergarment with cartoon character print that belonged to a girl, the funny and dangerous thing is…. She almost thought her son is some sort of undergarment thief and question him a little.

My name was then spelled out and I swear, I wouldn’t step into that house for the next coming Chinese New Year and even before or after that. I can’t imagine having someone remember me as the girl who left undergarment in her friend’s bag. UGH.. Total malu, diu lian, and pai sei, gosh…….. I can’t believe I could be so careless. Someone shoot me.

I didn’t know anything until Jay son called moo when we’re still sleeping and moo was laughing on the phone, I got curious and ask what happened. To my horror it was an embarrassing story about me. Gosh gosh gosh………

I almost had no where to hide my face for the afternoon, and when I told my cousin, they did nothing but laugh.

Gosh……………………………………………….. what a bum I am.

My confirmed date to go Melbourne is 7^th Sept’07. I tried to email the travel agency which I always buy my tickets from in Melbourne to find out about the air fare to come back to Singapore at specific date on specific airlines including the estimated tax. I gave everything in detail and was a bit pissed when I realized I didn’t get a reply after sending 2 different emails and waiting for a few days.

The first email was titled “air fair” I realized my mistake and sent an email with a different subject- “air fare” but with the same content. Today when I tried to copy and paste the email to send again, I realized I made a terrible mistake.

Date of departure

Air line

Asking for estimated air fare

There is only one thing I missed out – my destination.

I felt kind of stupid, how could I miss that out. Sent another email today and hoping they will finally reply me. They could have correct my mistake if they chose to…. =<>

I had a terrible lunch today, it’s not like the food is weird or taste like rot but there is something included in the food that is terribly disturbing.

A full body fish the size of ikan bilis x 3. About there, it was bathed in my vegetable curry and it looks like it is staring at me the whole time I was eating my lunch, I left it at a corner of my plate without touching it but looking at it once a while, I kinda lost my appetite after that.

Work was fine today, in fact I was in a happy mood today for no apparent reason. I am glad I have a day off tomorrow so I can do some other things like swimming and banking. The time I have to wake up for work next week was push forward by hours, it seems like it will be a draggy week next week, I hope the new project I am in would be entertaining enough. I get occasional a few seconds of mood swings once a while though, didn’t know why, it doesn’t seems like I am thinking well.. brain function failed by 20% I guess.

Nothing much to blog about today other then praying that I won’t dream of the fish staring at me tonight.

Harloz, was suppose to work today or so I thought, it turn out to be a holiday for me too, I was glad, I can finally have a day off and relax, but have to go back to work again tomorrow.

Had fun since last night, Jay son came over and we watch the Jay zhou show, the secret. I initially thought its gonna be a romantic show that is sweet and all lovely, watchable once every year or something, coz most of the time the sweetness disgust me, but still I was really curious since after I saw the trailer and summary, so I decide to watch it anyway, although I had a hunch it will be like the lake side house or something, forgot the title. Anyway, the show turn out to be good, a little humor and a little sweetness, a little touching and kind of cool. Not too original but still nice and worth the tickets, I mean, what century are we at now and how many of the things out there can claim itself to be original other then antiques. It is good enough for me to recommend anyone to watch it ^^

I know it is national day, but I don’t feel special in any way other than being able to stop working for one day. Went V8 for lunch, it was Jayson’s treat today for some reason we were watching a very old movie shown at V8 while having lunch so not much conversation was made. I remembered how I use to laugh at all those movies because I find them hilarious. Now, I laugh because it was pure lame and ticklish.

The food was not bad as usual, but I didn’t have much appetite so I gave 1/3 of mine to moo. Another girl whom I have heard about since I’ve known moo made her appearance today. The infamous Michelle, she is a friendly one like what I’ve heard from mouth of the 2, moo and bear. Moo = Zg, Bear = xiong = Jayson. There was some history between the three of them, good and bad and sweet and sad. I was looking forward to hearing funny stories from their past since they haven’t met for a while, but nothing much was mentioned. Seeing the way she is though, she kind of reminds me of what I was like in the past. Yes I am envious of her figure, but I swear that was not what I had in mind. More into the emotional part and maybe the way she thinks part, I thought if she is able to jump into my mind, she would be a happier person, I know that is not going to happen though, so I felt a little something which I couldn’t explain.

Walk around Bugis for a while, bought bags and presents. Been sometime since I shop, it could be addictive, but I have good control of myself today, I am proud of it. Here I would like to congratz Pam on something she have endured for some time and is free as of today. You know what I am talking about yeah hee hee.

Went home after some shopping to put our bags down and was planning for some movies or k box session but it didn’t end up with a joyous night coz all of us have to go back to work tomorrow and since our guest star left after a while before the plan was carried out. Most of us ended up without much mood to do anything else. The sushi was good though.

Outing like these are fun, few people crashing at my place not necessary drinking and playing dai dee, chatting and enjoying ourselves is enough too. I just feel kinda wasted that we didn’t get to go K box especially when it is so much cheaper today. Because of the plan and the failing to do it thingy, we left our two red shirt with our friend ( red shirts get cheap entry to K box tonight ) that three shirt happens to be our job’s uniform, I am sooooo dead. What am I to do…………..

Before I went to work, my dad asked me if I wanna go out for lunch, but I told him I have work.

At the road show again yesterday for work, noon to night. It was a hot and sunny day but since we’re working I guess I had nothing to complain about. This time the black boss wasn’t too bossy, after trying to push some blames to moo again the previous week but failed. He probably feel guilty (my guess) and tried to be friendly and make it seems he is one of the victim (nice try). Since it’s already not the first time, we very well know what’s going on in our mind. It was a lucky day though, part of the reason was because we were busy out of no reason and he didn’t have much time to boss us around too. I am glad it turned out this way coz I wasn’t feeling too well and was giving a “smelly” face all day.

Some customers were nerve snapping though, no offence but some of the foreign workers didn’t understand English. One of it went like that.

CS= customer

Moo = ZanGuo

CS : card cannot use no register.

Moo : must register 1^st, who is the one who serve you just now

CS: nodding head

Moo : which one is the one who serve you just now ( point all the registering staff and ask him to point one out)

CS: nods head again

Moo: WHICH one, WHO is the one who register for you, WHO???? (doing the same actions above)

CS: nods head many times

Moo : WHO!!!!!!!!!!! is the one who REGISTER for YOU? WHICH ONE!!!( about to cry )

CS: nods head continuously.

Moo : ( looks over to me with a -_-“ expression like his soul is about to leave his body)

Me: was so angry but laughing internally, lucky I wasn’t the one serving him.

That’s not all, there is a few more that can’t understand, the word Queue doesn’t seems to be in their dictionary. It makes it hard for me and I have to shout and scold and explain and they could ask the same question ten more times just because they want to get something for free when they shouldn’t. You can tell them “NO” twenty times and they still come back 5 minutes later to ask, you can recognize the same person. Can I kill him? Finally after I made moo talk to him before he stick by the rules, moo told him the same way I told him, I was more strict and fierce and angry actually, but maybe because I am a girl or maybe because I don’t look fierce enough, they just won’t listen to me. Bloody hell #$%!#%#$%&#%^* if only shooting them with air bullet guns won’t get me fired.

I came back home from work yesterday night and notice my dad went back to Indo, ½ of me always hope he would go back earlier so that I won’t feel the pressure from him about moo. But after he left, that other ½ of me was reacting a little bit, I miss having someone around to just ask me out for lunch, and someone who watch tv alone at the living room hoping to have me accompany him. I don’t know, this father thing, he is starting to act a little bit more like it, maybe it’s his age. It’s something I wished for long ago, until I became used to living without it. Now that it’s here, I feel a little awkward yet I miss it. It’s not even about bringing him to vivo city to shop the hell out of it anymore, I don’t know what is going on and I really hate this feeling. *shove it into the back of my mind*

Ahem…

Something interesting happen today at work, I made some mistake, given the wrong information out and caused some disputes. I even gave a bad reaction when the manager told me about my mistake, instead of saying sorry, I went “hee hee”, smart move. He just went “I thought you knew everything” and slam his file at me. Not the angry way but the “hai yah youuuu” way. I was suppose to know everything but it wasn’t a complete briefing I got from the training I attended anyway, the trainer themselves didn’t know all the things completely coz they were also filled in the last minute. Was good that I made mistake though, at least I am not standing there the whole day just talking to customers and making my day this way. Making mistakes make the job a little bit more interesting, just right amount of mistake. With everything going smoothly it’s just too boring.

Another weird thing that happened today was during my lunch break, I always like to smoke at the square outside of OUB center and watch the big advertising television on one of the building. Never fails to get people who ask me for a min of my time for surveys, they are forever there, even on smoke breaks. You can spot them easily as they are always holding a pen and some papers on their hands, the funny thing is,you can always think of different way to lighten up your day, since you are servicing people the whole day, you can always make fun of people who wants to be polite to you. Think of tease lines and see their reaction.

Surveyor : Can I have a min of your time to do some blah blah blah blah blah ( not listening most the time)

Me : look at them with a brightest smile you can give but don’t answer any of their question.

Surveyor : What beauty products are you using now?

Me: (big bright smile)*blink blink*

Surveyor : how much are you willing to spend in a month for beauty products

Me: the reaction above

Surveyor : it’s ok thank you

________________________

Surveyor : *walking towards you* before he say anything at all..

Me: ” Sorry no”, put your hand palm facing him and looks another way until he leave.

_____________________________

Donation : *walks to you with a tin can* before he say anything at all..

Me: *silent* show him my ciggy pack, my lighter, pull out my mobile from my back pocket and raise my both hands high and wave * no money body language*

Surveyor : Can I have a ……….

Me : offer her a stick of my ciggy

Surveyor : sorry I don’t smoke, thanks anyway.

Surveyor : Can I

Me: no

Surveyor : have

Surveyor : it’s ok thank you (smile smile but must be cursing me)

Surveyor : can I have…

Me: stick out index finger in their face and close my eyes

Surveyor : it’s ok thank you.

Some above I’ve tried, some yet to try coz I can’t bring myself to be so evil.

Today though, a woman approach me without a tin in her hand and no paper and pen in her hand, just a bag and she appeared to be waiting for a friend, came and sit beside me. She told me that my facial reading seems interesting and would like to tell my fortune for me for a few bucks, I of coz rejected her, this time I was caught unprepared, I didn’t expect someone would come to be wanting to tell my fortune, was kind of surprised. I tried rejected with a lot of excuse, going to work, smoking finish, break ending soon and she kept insisting. So I told her that I don’t believe in such things, and she went on mumbling some things about my fortune, didn’t hear it properly because of the background noise. I just told her to save the trouble and walk off to smash my ciggy.

I love having my fortune told actually, but just not in the mood today, didn’t want someone to tell me I will be rich in the future and smash my will to earn some $. That’s not the main reason though, I just really don’t want to know how I will end up in the future. Feeling a little unsure and a bit of this and that… hhhmmm just having a 6 sense that after listening to anything misleading, whether it’s good or bad. It will break me down into bits and pieces at this point of my life. I know it, coz although I always say how I won’t be affected by fortune telling, but I am always thinking about it. So let’s not crumble into that.
