I received a Nasty call on Thur
Part 1:
Me: Gd afternoon, SP Services. May i help u?
Mr Nasty: Is this Singpower?
Me: Yeah. This is Singapore Power Services. May i help u?
It all started this way.. Then i was chided for saying tt i'm from Singapore Power Services.
B'cos i should say SP Services instead of Singapore Power Services.
But SP Services stands for Singapore Power Services.. Even though we r only the "services", we still belong to SP wad.
Part 2:
Mr Nasty: Y did u all still can to book appointment? Didn't u knoe tt ur Director gav me the permission to send in my reading every month? We r a low consumption firm. Y do u still bother to check?
N so i gav the usual explaination tt it's our job. Usually, customers will understand and relent. However..
Mr Nasty: Give me ur Director's no. I want to talk to him
Me: I'm sorry, but i do not hav the Director's no..
(Actually, i dun even know who's the Director)
Mr Nasty: WAT?? U r a directory n u actually dun have his no.? Wad type of clerk r u??
Yeah.. tt's not a typo. He actually called me a directory. So much for being a v.well English educated man.
N he started to say bad things bout my manager for not doing his job. Blah blah blah..
Part 3:
Me: Can i hav ur contact no. pls?.. So tt i can report to my supervisor about your case. N may i knoe how do i address u?
Mr Nasty: U R NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE MY NO. IN THE 1ST PLACE!! THE PURPOSE TT I'M CALLING BACK IS TO TELL YOU ALL NOT TO CONTACT ME ANYMORE!! SO Y DO U STILL ASK FOR MY CONTACT NUMBER?? AND U DON'T HAVE TO KNOE WAT'S MY NAME. WAT'S YOUR NAME?
He started shouting over the phone & got even more irritated when he couldn't hear my name. It's not my fault tt i don't use an English name. Anyway, he's a chi guy, and he don't even knoe how to pronounce my surname.


Tt's jus a summary of it. Now, i understand why Cadet always complain about ugly Singaporeans.
The uncles overheard. N they became so adorable.
Omar: Hwee-chi, u want a drink? U want coffee, tea, or milo? (luckily he dunno our fav. office joke..)
Zanial: Don't be so sad.. I brought ______(i can't rmb the name. But it's fried tapioca. A type of Malay food). Here, have one. =D Or u want goreng pisang? I can go out buy for u.
Boss: If u feel like bashing someone up, u can bash Zanial.
Zanial: NONO! Don't beat me! But u can pinch my cheeks. I got chubby cheeks!. =D
Uncle Boo Boo: Dont' feel so sad. U must be thick skin. I everyday kanna scolding from customers yet i've nvr cried b4.

Wahaha, aren't they jus adorable?


I went Chinatown with Wei Wei & Auntie. Shopping's okay.. Food's quite terrible.


N I stunned my mum when i showed her my new specs, hahahAx.


Gonna eat reunion dinner soon!
But it had lost it's purpose..
U used to be free only CNY eve to hav dinner..
Thus i always look 4ward to it.
Even if it means lots of scrubbing, squating, fainting spells..
But all's gone now.
It's jus a routine.
Meaningless.
Happy Lunar New Yr! ^-^

I lurV making myself bz!
But i really shouldn't tire myself..
I'll try to earn more money and make sure tt i save up enough for uni expenses.
If i can't.. well, don't tempt me with overseas trip ideas.


The presence of Fur, Nel & Yun Hui makes me look 4ward to working part time at nite.
Too bad Sally jus quit. Budden she has her own reasons..
Mayb CH & Ailin will join me too! Hee.
Working shld be a fun thing.
I'm not sure bout others, but i really do prefer working life than studying life.
Detest studying for major exams. It's much more tiring then going to work everyday.
I don't wanna get back my results.


I lurv my current full time job.
Okie.. mayb not lurv, but i like it.
Still prefer mapping to customer service.
Lots of ppl keep asking wat's my job's abt..
So here's it!

Basically, my job revolves arnd maps.
The Street Directory & Gmap are my best working buddies! =D
Mapping's not easy k.. I gotta maintain a library of maps.
Yea, more than a thousand sets of maps. N several thousands pieces of maps.
At the same time, update new insts & create more new maps.
Busy busy. But i lurv being busy.
Luckily i can take my own sweet time since there's no deadlines.


Ooh, n i lurv some of the uncles there.
Cos they r so adorable.
There's this super cute Uncle Shiak, aka Robocop, who hav a hobby of creating the lamest jokes.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away. No wonder doctors r so free. Cos there's apples in the office too! Apples in the computers!" =D
DiaoZ..

N there's grandfatherly Uncle Zaniel.. aka Nite Rider.
His name reminds me of Daniel, hahax. It rhymes!
Zaniel lurvs faking coughs. N when ppl chid him or ignore him, he'll wail
"My cough got licence de k? Y ppl cough not wrong, i cough wrong?"
N he lurvs fattening us with his curry puffs, kachang puteh & Goreng Pisang.
But he got a habit of stealing out kachang puteh too, haX.


Kk.. i'm going to bake CNY cookies! If there's extra, perhaps it's my turn to fatten my office ppl! Hax.
Shall update again.. take care!

Jus met up with my XMS sistas for shopping. Too bad Jess had to work. At least, we visited her.


Today is a special special day.. :)


It's so nice to have a gathering again.. miss them LotS. I brought a red top. It's super red, jus nice for CNY. But red's nice. I like scarlet. Cadet was *suppose* to try it, but i ended up trying and buying it.
Honestly, i can't stand tt salesgal. She's like pleading and pestering customers to buy it. And she actualy chided a china customer so loudly when the lady accidentally went into the changing room where i left my bag in. Some kind of service attitude. :x


Thanks for granting the request of mine..



Went to Bras Basah in the morning too. Got a packet of beads.. should be quite useful, haX. I'm so crazy about making earrings now. Jio-ing Cadet to go down to the bead shop someday after work!


A yr of singlehood.


Went shopping with zt last nite. It's been ages since zt last accompanied me to shop. Supposed to be his fashion consultant to find CNY clothes for him. But this boy insisted on getting sth for me first, before he dare to get anything for himself.
Silly boy.
So i got a working bag. The one i've been yearning to get. :)
Sponsered by his mum.
I dunno how to thank her. :x


Thus, i shall keep my promise.. to u.(",)


Ooh, we met Kee Wei and his dear too. Still the same old Kee Wei.
N i saw Ix Shen & Ericia Lee dating, wahaha.


Ly. =)

Happie b'day to Uuu.. happy b-day to u..
Happie birthday to lao po.. Happy b'day to yu!


Today's YZ's b'day! But she's sick.. Xin tong. :(
I miss my lao po. I miss her lotSs.
Pray tt she'll join us tml :D


Hm.. the fresh army recruits r coming out today! Happy for some of my gal frens. They must hav missed their guys so much.
Treasure the few hours!


I went shopping with YT on sat. Miss those days where we'll gossip abt everything on our way to sch.. hm..
Too bad it rained then. Or else we'll have a romantic nite watching fireworks at Chinatown.. lol.


Recruit Express actually postponed our pay day!! Hmpf. I was planning to get my CNY clothes next week. I need a formal-looking working bag, n new specs. My supply of contact lens is running out too. Now they spoil all my plans. Luckily i got my working shoes already. I lurve it!
Jason Leong actually said i can save money this way. Oh well.. he don't understand gals.
So i guess my mum'll hav to continue to sponser me for this month.
I feel like a baby. Embarrassing.
Luckily i brought a handbag for her during our previous shopping trip.
Makes me feel less guilty. But it isn't my fault.
Perhaps i can loan from her. Then it'll add on to my debt. :(


Tml's public hol.. Can't work again. I'm not earning enough! Like wad Pan says, i doubt we can save much. I need to save up for a laptop, a new cam, hp & uni fees.
Scary.
N of cos, in case i need to get into a private Uni. The fees'll cost a bomb.

Perhaps i should start moonlighting.

Happ|e NeW Yr everyone!


i'm home from celebration with half of the class ppl.. Not bad actually. Even though quite a lot of ppl cldn't make it for various reasons, we had fun.
A small grp can hav fun too.
Ooh, n we saw Kelvin Tan Wei Lian!! I got soOo memorised by his voice. He sang his new song too. His CD'll be released on the 11th Jan if i didn't rmb wrongly. Perhaps i'll support him.. Budden.. Guang Liang's new album will still come first. Provided tt i got extra earnings to spare.


Hm hm.. 2005 had been a tiring yr for me.. Lots of ups n downs. N i guess i've changed qt a lot over the past yr too. Being able to gather the courage to do certain stuff i'll nvr b able to accompolish in the past.. n being less shy. In other words, getting more thick skin. :X Perhaps it's a gd thing.. It helps in socialising n building up of confidence. Leos r supposed to be confident ppl anyway. :) But my temper's getting worse too. Getting irritated so easily recently. Tt's bad. :x


New year resolutions for 2006.. hm.. Shall not disclose here, haha. Enjoy ur new yr everyone! =)


Oh ya oh ya. enjoy ur new yr, boy. It's nice to count down via phone again. Jus like last yr. =) Perhaps we can do this in the future too.
Jus 15 more days.
I'm anticipating tt special day. :)
