WOHOO!! i just got converted to a one year contract job!! well.. its good that i dont have to start from scratch to look for a new job. besides, this job pays pretty good so why not just grab what i have in front of my face. haha. but the downside is i have to handle lotsa nasty customers and stupid ones too. i mean really stupid! no common sense kinda stupid. tsk tsk. initially i thot of quitting that job cuz it sucks. what i did was to answer calls and take down messages when there's a queue of calls. there wasnt much training given to us - the call tappers. and i had alot of customers who kick such a big fuss cuz i cant answer the most basic question. so now, i dont have to do the call tapping thing and i can attend to customers now! yay! but that also means i have so much to learn... sigh.
it was soooo pretty....... i get to watch the fireworks for the ndp preview tonight at tanjong rhu. its on the other residential side of the national stadium. we were so close to the fireworks and i feel like its coming towards me. but its still so beautiful... i juz stood there in awe while my friends are shouting and jumping excitedly next to me. even better grace says there a fireworks display at esplanade tmr night and we're going!!
FLAKY BIT MY MOMMA!!! notty lil flaky!!! poor mom's hand.. its still red n a lil swollen.. sorry mom cuz i forgot to give her food before i leave for work..
well work is getting exceptionally boring this past few days. the management has stressed on to improve the service level and well i guess they have achieved it in just one day. so i'm doing nothing much but stone most of the time. sigh. no more need for call tappers. which means i have to undergo training to be one of those ppl who actually get to attend to customers. sigh. i dont wanna stay in that job. but considering the job pays pretty well... hmm.. why not? but i just have to put up with those annoying customers.
so life has been nothing much but work work work. don't have a lot of things to say either. oh wells..
today's the first day i have to work til 7pm. mondays are always the killer. the lines just wont stop coming in. i love fridays tho. i was so free doin nothing (cuz there weren't any calls) that i got caught for reading newspaper. hah stupid prawn. as i walked down the aisle in the call centre, i realised how 'noisy' it was with all the mummering. i think i'm going deaf any sooner cuz i have to increase the volume of my headset whenever i can't hear what the customer is saying. i still hear a lil of that buzzing sound in my ear. oh no!! this job has detrimental effects on my health. haha. but then it was nice to stay in the office when most of the people have gone home.. so quiet... shhh...
yay no tuition!! finally get to go home early and relax... aaahhhhh... so far today i didn't get any bitchy customers. work is generally ok. just ok. apparently people there are said to be nice. but most of them are not as helpful as i think. there are people who are very helpful and no-temper-at-all even tho they have a lot of work to do. some get so frustrated whenever us (the call tappers, who doesnt know much stuff) ask them ONE simple question. i feel queer ever since i started on this job. i still do now. no idea why. i've never felt this way before.
thanx to my dearest crab, she recommended me a job. yay! at least i have a reason not to stay at the call centre. you may used to think that working is easier than studying. ever since i have stepped into this working life... i wanna go back to school!!!! sigh. like it or not we still have to work sooner or later.
my baby's have grown. its true when people say NS turns boys into men. honest. i totally am clueless to what these army people do the boys. however its a good thing tho. like they say boys think with their dicks not using their brains. but now, i have experienced the tremenduous change in hasrul. i'm so proud of him! a point to note: BOYS WILL ALWAYS BE BOYS! boys with their toys, games, soccer etc. u can never seperate them with those things like how we girls can't be seperated from shopping. haha.
ok i'm too tired to go on blogging.. oh its so warm today.
life feels different ever since i started work. i'm less tolerant, impatient and pretty much insensitive. this mainly apply towards hasrul. hardly have the time to talk to him. we hardly had any chance to have our nightly routine of talking over the phone now. why am i behaving this way? this is getting so weird. yes i've been feeling queer recently. i feel like there is just something that isn't right with me. keep noticing that strangers giving me that look, as tho i stink or somehting. or maybe its my hair. my falling hair. when i sit in the bus, the person next to me will distance themselves. what the heck is happening to me? or is it just me. weird weird weird weird....
blah! back to work tommorow. sigh. its only been a week and i'm dreading it already. tho it might be a simple job but i still think it sucks! apparently there isn't anything in this world which is easy. studying alone is hard enough. just think about how hard it will be when we have to plan our own life with a family. whoah! better not think about it yet.
Flaky is getting fatter. bought her/him (still can't figure it out. but i think its a girl.) new diet supplement which has nuts and veggie and she doesn't seem to like it. she loves to nibble my finger and her teeth is sharp! so i ended up putting on a pair of gloves to pick her up. what i'm trying to do is to tame her so she won't nibble my fingers anymore but it doesn't seem to work. sheesh.
i haaave tooo draag myyyy feeet tooo wooork tooommorooow............
ever since i started work i was so tired i didn't even bother to switch on the comp. sorry friends my blog was so back dated. so here's an update of the past week.
as it was stated in the previous blog i got a job at HSBC and which i reported for my first day on tuesday. work wasnt that energy draining but mentally. not that i have to think alot but its just the nature of the job that is so fast-paced. coincidentally my poopy pants is working there too. cuz we went to the same employment agency but we got posted to different deparments. by the way, kelly services is really good. got a job in a jiffy. just one short interview and that's it. prolly cuz it was a temp job for a month so i presume the interview doesnt really matter huh. i wish i could be transferred to joy's dept. ok for your info, i'm working at the call centre. i don't just pick up calls but i have to handle all types of customers. the nice understanding ones, the bo-chap ones, the demanding, the impatient, the bitchy ones. urgh. gosh! but then its up to us, the operators, how we can handle them. work, generally, is ok. not too fun not too boring either. i miss working in the retail industry. colleagues are nice. low stress level. can slack during those off-peak hours. according to joy, her dept is much more relaxed and cuz there's hardly anyone supervising, they can almost do whatever they want. except when there are customers walking in of course.
sigh. work life sucks. i wish i could go back in time and be in school again. wearing that blue skirt and white blouse nothing much to worry about other than exams. had great company of friends. the life i'm facing now is scary and definitely it ain't easy. pressurising. frustrating. maybe its just the beginning. oh i'll get used to it.
we were suppposed to have a glut outing today. but it turned out to be only vert and celeste. well i thot of joining them later in the day but then celesty had to go off and vert wasnt feeling well. bumped into them outside Heeren. and finally get to see celeste after so long! celeste i miss u gurl!! guess we wont have that many chances to meet up now cuz i'm already working, so is joy and school term is gonna start soon for the others. hope our friendship wont just disappear like that. i have great fun with u guys and u guys are so wonderful. true all of us has different plans and drifting cant be helped either. like joy said, i'd rather keep the memories that we shared.
am i depressed now? why? i have no idea myself. sigh.
WOHOO! got a job! it was like so easy at kelly services. yay! wont be bumming around again! and it was pure coincidence that i am working at the same place with my poopy pants!! haha. tho we may be working at different departments but we can still go for lunch together. so exciting!
i've been having this terrible headache since this morning. urgh! feel like my head is about to explode! am i getting sick?? blah! better pop some panadols later.
how i wish there'd be another black out. that night, i was so mesmerised by the tranquility of darkness. how peaceful. looking up at the dark night sky.. brings me away from the buzzing of power generated life for a moment, at least. if only life could be as simple as that.
well the blackout actually reminded me of the Thailand trip few years back. i saw the most beautiful things in life on that particular day.... something i will never ever forget.
we were seated in the back of a pick-up truck, shivering from the cold safari night air even tho we had our jackets on. surrounded by tress and animals. we were in the wild and mind you, there were real lions and tigers and what have they. after driving around for a while, we finally came to a halt. i was scared cuz i thot a lion was in front of us. but no.. it was a herd of elephants. a family of them with a baby. awww... so sweet! and the baby elephant was so adorable. (reminds me of mandy's smiling baby elephant poster) so we were stuck there for a few minutes waiting for the elephants to cross to the other side of the road and back into the jungle, i got bored and so i looked up. Oh My God!! and that was the MOST BEAUTIFUL thing i've ever seen!
all i can see was a pitch black background littered with a myriad of twinkling stars! and they really twinkle. thousands of them. it was simply breath taking! it looked like the sky was dusted with silver glitter powder. WOW! wish i could be there now!
of cuz for town dwellers like us we'd get excited over ONE star in singapore's sky. i used to do that when i was a kid.
how nice would it be to be living in those ulu-ated places with no tv, no lights, natural surroundings and of cuz the beach where i can wake up to the sunrise and have dinner as the sun sets. and i'll be accompanied by the stars at night as i go to sleep. WOW! that's so lovely..
apparently we were supposed to catch a free movie with hasrul's camp mates at 6. however it turned out that the show actually starts at 715pm. ??!!??!! ok yup so we were there at plaza sing at 530 and actually wasted our 1 hour plus waiting. fortunately the air around me bacame so god damn polluted with cigarette smoke. almost choked me to death. i was breathing more cigarette smoke than fresh air in that 1 hour or so. i think my lungs are not as pink anymore. urgh! smokers! that includes hasrul. instead of looking for handbag to replace my old-almost-torn-to-pieces black bag, we were still sitting there.
oh btw the service at pizza hut plaza sing sucked big time! the servers dont even smile when taking orders and they didnt even set the table. ??!!??!!??!! we shouldnt have paid for service charges.
so after watching mean girls we rode to taka. and hasrul's friend got a fine while moving his bike away! it isnt justifiable to fine somebody when he is already on his bike and making a move! what kinda police is that?! crap! wasted more time when his other friend made one big round just to negotiate with that police guy. SUCH A WASTE OF TIME!
my mom's such a pain in the a**! keep calling n calling n calling us so so so so so so so so so so many many many many many many times to ask when are we goin home. ??!!??!!??!!??!!??!!??!!
by right hasrul already asked my dad's permission to come home at 11. and for gods sake its not even past midnight!
stayin at home makes me so lazy. so lazy that i cant even be bothered to switch on the comp. guess i'm pretty much like Flaky. sleeping most of the tym. haha. need a job now! then i can move my lazy bum around. but i havent received any calls from nobody yet. sent in my resumes to more than 5 organisations but to no avail. getting a job is tough. ok i'm gonna make a trip down to International Building on monday. thot of doing retail too! retail is fun!! except for the long and odd working hours.
shopping was fun yesterday!! me, joy and grace actually walked non-stop from after watching spiderman2 till 7! we only sat down for lunch. so its back to the usual people. i love the new Fox store! cheap! hmm.. i was wondering about what grace said yesterday.
grace: i dont think we'll meet up that often if joy leaves for aust next year.
sigh. we are all going towards diff paths now. sad but it cant be helped either. joy is the only one going overseas. joy we are all gonna miss you.. your ever straigtforward-blunt comments, your sacarstic jokes, you getting overly excited over food haha.. and the secrets you hardly reveal. plus we're gonna be short of one bridge player. joy, i am gonna miss you.. oh am i getting a lil too emotional here? but anyway i wish you all d best joy! and dont forget us!!
to the other glut friends, i'm missing all of you too! miss those days in school where we would happily skip lessons and hang out at the void deck. sleep at the void deck. play bridge when we were supposed to be studying. i still remember the pre-exams period where we would skip gp lessons and study (sleep?) at the mezzanine floor. those were the days.......
yea its true what people say school days are the best time of your life. now that we've experienced working, nothing beats school.
totally fucked up boyfriend! cant u tell the diff that girls are not made to react like a fucking guy?! damnit! i cant belive u played a downright lamest stupidest joke on me! ur such an insensitive unfeeling bastard!
it feels so good to be bumming around at home again. no more early mornings, can have my leisurely evening naps, sit in front of the tv all day long... such a blissful life. ohh had my serving if choc ice cream with marshmallows. mmmmm.... heaven!
i had the most frightening incident of my life today! but it actually turned out to be......
i heard jingling of keys at my front door and ok so my parents were back. then OH MY GOD! a huge creature walked in instead of my parents. i stood on the chair. scared stiff. afraid that dog might bite me! what the hell is a dog doing in my house?! looked like my neighbour's dog! argh! BUT it was actually a cat.. a big persian cat with its big fluffy tail. it's so preeeetty! and it was so sweet! didnt bite when i carassed it. too bad it was my neighbour's a floor above. if it was a lost cat my family would have taken it in. and it didnt wanna go home. stood at my door when my mom closed it.
so sweet!
eh wait! did it come in cuz she smell a hamster in my house?! oh no poor Flaky! oh btw Flaky pees alot! her cage stinks! i just changed it last friday.
national day is coming and i saw this music video on tv. nice. just nice. it was actually another rendition of kit chan's (i think) Home. instead of kit singing, it was a bunch of cute lil kids! so sweet. in fact its a choir version. ndp approaching!
yay! fireworks!
Finally made up my mind. i was dreading to go to work and like my boss said, no point dragging your feet to work if you dont like doing it. so I QUIT! now i'm back to the path which i have planned earlier. gotta focus! so here i am now, again, doing nothing and broke too. but i'm happier tho. :)
thanks to my trainer for beong so patient with me. i'm kinda feel bad i disappointed him. but he'll get over it. at least he understood my plight.
the past few days have been hectic for me. had to report to office for training at about 11am. then we headed out for residential areas to work at about 330pm. my day ended late at night. sucks. its like 12 hour job with no allowances and purely commission based income. i'm so so glad i have made up my mind. if not i'll be wasting more of my time doing somthing which i cant.
flakes is getting fat! everytime she wakes up, she'll eat. ohh.. i saw her regurgitate her own shit. yuck! but she's so cute anyway. haha.
hm.. is tis what i really wanna do? tho it might promise me a better future. sigh. i've never imagined myself to be in this position now and i didnt plan it to be this way. i wanna run my own business but not this type. and i do wanna go back to school. if i hang on, i'll be wasting time. if i leave, ONE chance of me doin well is gone for sure! provided i put in my effort to be able to do well later. at this rate i'm goin now i'm probably cant go far but its all about hard work. no pain no gain. i cant decide.
work was erm well much better today. plucked a lil more courage to do better than yesterday. knocking on doors is really hard. got doors slammed at my face. what the fuck! but then again this is what we ourselves do at times. and there are ppl who r juz so hostile ad refuse to say a single fucking word. arse! then again, its good tho cuz its a whole new experience. stll... i cant decide.
moral of story: never impress your interviewer when you dont wanna do that job. juz say no.
