7 AUGUST
i read your blog almost everyday though i didn't ask u out very often. u know i love u jojo :D
jojo seems to have lost much of her sanity recently. she was talking all nonsense on her blog and i'm losing mine with her :p
6 AUGUST
have gotten to know more about Boju, my colleague at work. he is a totally sweet guy, reliable and caring. he is always coming to our rescue, and i guess i have much much more to learn and i need to grow up. chatting with several of my colleagues and i finally realised how ignorant i am. feel really stressed, like i need to do alot of catching up, for wasting 20 years of my life... Khai Wan threw me a question 'what interests u?' and told me he already knows what he wants in life. as for me, i am as lost as ever. really, many a time i can't stand how lost and shallow i am! when will i ever find mine? what must i do to find it? when will i grow up?
i wasted another 6 months doing and learning nothing. have to kick my laziness and procrastination habits fast before i ruin myself...
5 AUGUST
my sis has been bugging me the whole night to help her search for websites to stream Fringe Season 2 Episode 17. i ignored her initially but it was getting really annoying after some time. i stopped what i was doing and unwillingly help her with the search. oh god, i took less than 5 mins to find what she spent for the whole day looking for but failed. PLEASE, don't always give me the chance to brag about my skills. i feel bad about it.
4 AUGUST
went out with chu to AMK today! we were out on a mission, food mission. lost in AMK, we went asking for directions from a wire/cable repairman and receptionist of the youth centre. i thought we should put the wisdom exclusive to us ladies to good use :p
finally, we reached our destination. but only to find out the stall is closed -.-
whatever, we went to AMK hub and ate at the food court. what did we eat? i would say we ate 80% air, 'cause we were literally laugh till we tear. one can never predict chu's thoughts. they are never normal. only at almost the end of our meal did we realise that some people have been looking at us with some weird expressions. OOPS! we probably looked like lunatics. but i guess since we both are not AMK residents, it doesn't matter. all we have to do is stay in tampines for the rest of our lives :D
then was tau huay at 1 level below. the staff was kind of shocked when we ordered a bucket of it each and 3 custard buns. we were given a bottle of quarter-filled sugar syrup and chu posted a challenge--to finish it all.
should u ever go out with her, u can notice hints of her dislike for kids. she gets irritated when kids jump about, laugh or scream. she would always say 'feel like slapping/kicking them!' or 'feel like putting a pail on their head and hit the pail!'
my dear has the poise of a 'pageant'. she would put her leg onto the seat and eat with it propped up. marvellous!
ok, we successfully finish the food but the staff kept the sugar syrup before we could finish it! it was about a mere table spoon volume more! damn!
after we're filled, time to head back home. chu suggested we try the circle line. it's not that much of time saving move afterall since the time taken was about the same as the usual red-green line. HOME-SWEET-HOME~~~
i'm busy working and everyone else is busy with their lives. i am really missing the times when we were so impromptu and can meet up just with a phone call 1 or 2 hours in advance. i miss the times we went paranakan museum, supper, shopping, etc.
JOJO, DARYL, I MISS YOUR COMPANY!
3 AUGUST
i feel lousy recently. tons of things go through my mind and i really can't help but tear at night sometimes.
reached the workplace at 9am, an hour earlier than the usual time. we are required to go try out the new system. crap, i'm so sleepy! i went to bed last night at 3am ++. serve me right for chatting through the night...
being tired and my mind in a mess, all i want is to go home asap. asshole, stop talking your fucking own sweet time choosing the hp! he took 1 hour 15mins and purchase the one which cost $48?!?!?!?!!?!?!? HELLO, STOP ASKING FOR CHEAP/FREE AND GOOD HP!
i should learn what Boju told his customer 'sir, free and good hp we don't have. free and not very good hp we have alot!' WAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i found a new idol!
i have always been proud of my temper. i was able to always keep them in check. but recently, i realised i am really losing that valuable skill. occasionally i would show displeasure to the customers or throw things like pens, etc. when i am at work. SHIT! I NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT LESSONS!
2 AUGUST
sent several messages to the NTU HSS FOC OGL to ask if i could join the camp. previously i wasn't selected to join, but i said i wanted to and asked one of them to help slot me in. make no mistake, i am not an orientation person. in fact, i dislike orientation. but unlike jojo, i don't have the courage to weather through the miserable university life alone.
for now, let's hope i survive the orientation first ya.
oh, i got a call, I'M IN FOR THE ORIENTATION CAMP! shit, somehow, i am regretting my choice :x seriously, i am not looking forward to it. i just can't mix around with strangers and get high...
1 AUGUST
friends just don't seem reliable anymore. it's not the first time i am experiencing this. chu, when will u treat me like that? though i am not looking forward to that, but just as u said, picses are dumb when it comes to love~~~
31 JULY
the day started tough. i didn't have enough sleep the previous night and i am clueless of what to do at work. everything seems new. ok, maybe to me :x
days at work without my close buddy Li Zhen is really hard to bear. no one to joke with, no one to support me. i used to look forward to working when i know she would be working too.
anyway, i saw a long queue outside the shop as i RAN in in the morning. i am 1 minute early for work :p the customers are probably an hour earlier XD who cares! they are people who has nothing to do on a saturday morning and came out in the dead of the dawn to torture the service providers.
everyone in the shop was in a ready-for-battle mode and that gave me lots of stress. seeing the crowd made it worse. my hands started to tremble as i served the customers, then my voice shook and i stammered. took much effort trying to conceal my fears. everyone is always saying i am like a man, but who knows that i'm actually afraid?
the crowd in the afternoon is OMG! but it isn't the worst, since iphone 4 was out-of-stock. everyone is out to sign new plans or recontracting their mobile lines, buying non-iphone phones. hi guys, could u all not come on the same day? u can get them anytime! why recontract now?! it's the the 7th month and the gate has just opened. scary.
as if trying to keep myself awake wasn't enough, the air was so warm at the sales floor and it was getting to me. anyway, each time after i am done serving a customer and was trying to catch my breath, the managers would come to the counter and urge me to serve the next customer. hello, has it occur to them that i am human?! 上吊也要喘口气吧！
while i was struggling to stay awake, thoughts were running through my head at the same time. i feel troubled. my whole mind was in a big mess. no matter how i tried to expel the thoughts since i wanted to prioritise my work, i just can't.
with all these going on, the customers are just not cooperating! this customer was going to do a recontract but her daughter is the one who would be using the new hp, so the customer was waiting for her daughter to come to a decision. and this brilliant girl was slouching and sticking her face to my counter's surface and speaking so softly as if she was communicating with the molecules in the atmosphere! DON'T SLEEP AT MY COUNTER, CHOOSE YOUR HP AND FUCK OFF QUICK! she was totally testing my patience. i swear i almost lost my temper.
the day crowd finally died down. heaved a sigh of relief. was joking and laughing with the colleagues when doing house-keeping, but i guess my mood just hasn't improved much afterall. i need someone to talk to. who is there for me?
really bad day, dread work the following day.
30 JULY
today's my off day. texted my friend who is working to learn about the battlefield status. wow! 90 people in queue! perfect! tomorrow is the big day for me! it's a weekend, i'm working on full-shift, 2nd day of iphone 4 launch, and the processing systems are down for modifications. WHAT CHALLENGE!
i used to laugh when i saw the queue outside the telcos due to the iphone launch in the past. it's not funny anymore when i am working at a telco myself -.-
'everything is funny as long as it doesn't happen to me'
29 JULY
i am really feeling the dreadfulness of going to work. it's really weighing down on me i just don't know how to ease myself of that. IPHONE 4 LAUNCH IS SUCH A NIGHTMARE!
up to some mischief in the middle of the night. it's so scary that i have high tide every now and then -.-
28 JULY
yang wei is always so steady and confident handling matters and situations and he would always criticise how lousy i am. whatever. with such actions and all, he is just like the figure of strength, invincibility and reliability
. but u know, i saw something really really amusing today. a customer he served weeks ago came back for the 3 time for our assistance on the use of his handphone. he's an old dude. and guess what was yang wei doing. HE WAS HIDING BEHIND THE SALES FLOOR and pleading me to send the customer away 'cause he's so afraid of him. the customer is damn long-winded one if u must know. he talks the world to u and each interaction with him takes up at least 1 hour of your time. i've experienced this with this customer before too.
great, in the attempt to send the customer away, he clinged onto me -.- thanks yang wei, u are such buddy!
21 JULY
I SERVED A HANDSOME GUY TODAY!!! FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I'VE SEEN SOMEONE THAT NICE LOOKING!
tall, nice facial features, complexion and his body build!!! he looks like a mixed blood of chinese and caucasian. now u know what kind of beauty i am talking about? i'm not that into good-looking guys as usual, so i served him like i would to a normal customer, gave him no special treatment. guess it's his luck i served him? the other girls would probably give him anything he asks :p
he is a nice customer though, he helped me with the handphones and didn't rush me through the transaction. and his perfect English and his manners! attractive!
finished the transaction, showed him to the cashier. this is when the other staff came to me, one by one, winking, whispering into my ears that he is god-damn handsome. that is when i really realised, HE IS REALLY HANDSOME! once he's gone, all female staff between age 20 to 30 came rushing to me, asking for his age and details! OMG GUYS, GET A GRIP OF YOURSELVES! i need to, too. i was feeling hot after what the girls did!
by the way, i got his full name, address, age, IC no., mobile number. ask me, i'm selling them!
19 JULY
PULAU UBIN--A PLACE WHERE NO NUMBER OF CARDS MATTERS
went to pulau ubin with jojo! yes, finally private time together with her, and on an island! HAHA!
left my house late as always and decided to take the cab. damn, the dumbass driver conned me! he took years to drive out of tampines and when he finally did, the cab fare has already shot to $12! showed my displeasure to the taxi driver and he kept arguing i gave the wrong directions. total cab fare was $16.20 when i reached changi village boat terminal and he charged me $13. don't think u can appease me with that $3 discount. what a perfect way to spoil my morning on my long awaited off day.
was totally pissed until i saw jojo! man, she saved my day! time with her was a real pleasure.
with the both of us being directional idiots, it's quite a challenge for us to explore the various routes there :D we made it anyway. guess there is still hope for us to cure that weakness?
i went to the island with $17.20 while jojo had $15.20. after the rental of the bike of $8, we each didn't have much left. lunch was $5.20 each. do the maths. we were still intending to go patronise lek's grandfather's house until something came to my mind 'do we have to pay for the boat trip back to mainland?' and OMG, we finally understood our situation.
we decided to seek help--SOS!!! not by lighting a fire, but using facebook! SOS has evolved, and we are doing it the most modern way XD
life with jojo is so interesting! she just adds colours to your life :D
