i finally have time to blog!! so nice, having the luxury to sit in front of my lappie and letting my fingers do the talking. hahaha...

ok, time for complains. it's about this real dumb staff i've met!

well, yesterday i was assigned to go to Plaza Sing to relieve for 1/2 Morning. so it's only till 2pm. since this was quite a last minute arrangement from the day before, i was not assigned really stable staff to assist me. one of them is only about a couple months old, the other is just 2 days old. *groan* so naturally, i get the more "experienced" staff to be my cashier.

she's really one hell of a sotong, i tell u! it's a wonder their in-charges there could stand her.

i guess she must be so dependent on in-charges to tell her what to do. even changing of "loose money" also need in-charges to tell her. i told her frankly: she is the cashier now, she should know what kind of notes or coins she needs. she went, "har...??"

after which when she came back from the Bank, i did not interfere what she has gotten for herself. i only knew she changed some notes and coins.

the next day, which is today, my 2nd-in-charge Lia called me to ask me how come i've gotten their staff to change 100 bucks worth of coins. i was shocked to be confronted of this matter and i told her that i did not ask her to change that much of coins. in fact, i told her to decide for herself how much she wanna change since she's the cashier. and she actually told her in-charge that I told her to change this much?!

quite pissed off with that sotong, naturally.

seriously, i feel like going down to PS and tell that SM myself since i know her. argh!!

i guess i'm pissed about the fact that she didn't admit her wrongdoings and pushed it to me. scheming little bitch!! i'm so banning her lor!!

other than that, nothing much going on now.... projects datelines are like so next week and i'm not moving much myself. hahaha... i'm so dead!!

anyway, the thing i'm looking forward to would be THAILAND!! YEAH!!

insensitive (and some silly) KOK!!

i don't know whether i'm blessed or cursed with a boyfriend like YM. he's really sweet, nice and make sure your needs are met. however, he can be real blur, kok-head, to the extend that it REALLY pissed me off!!

earlier on, we had dinner with his parents. we dine out as usual at some neighborhood kopitiam and had simple but hearty meal. i was slouching in my chair with my bulging (and happy) belly, casually chatting with his mum. suddenly, AND OUT OF THE BLUE, YM leaned over. he lifted part of my blouse that showed my navel. like some innocent kid, he said to his mum "Ma, hao kan ma? (nice anot)".

his mum would naturally looked at the place he was referring to, and gave that look of displeasure and replied, "Ni qu da ah? (you go and pierce)". i shot YM a dirty look and swiftly covered my tummy.

totally unexpected, i just reacted calmly and responded to his mum. luckily she wasn't any more interested in this kind of "youngsters" things, so she digress the topic. phew.

you know what's the best part? YM DID NOT even get my dirty look. BLARDY HELL!!

not alot of people know about my piercing. i mean, i don't exactly make sure everyone knows, coz' i don't see a need for everyone to know. and people who know are those who would go, "oh ok..." when i tell them!

he said it was a spur of the moment, that he suddenly remembered. so he just nonchalently told his mum about it, RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE! i know his mum is quite open about this kind of things, but please lor, that does not mean she'll like it right??? she's his mum and yet he can be so "don't know" about this meh?!?! it's so obvious of her displeasure when YM's sis starts to pierce her tongue, lips, nose and all. HE even dislike the fact that his sister is doing such things, YET he can just shoot it off his mouth like that.

of course, when i told him what he did, i don't sound very nice. my tone, as usual, is uptight, worked-up and can be quite blunt. so, he got unhappy and started showing me attitude. i'm not blaming him for that, but i'm want him to be abit more sensitive when it comes to things people don't like.

i'm right-out pissed, not angry. just like, "WAH LAU!" kind of mood...

to make things slightly worse off, (i don't know what he's doing), and i think he knows that i don't really wanna be entertained by video clips and/or pictures that would take a while for me to download, especially when it's at night and i wanna do just my OWN things, he didn't get it. the conversation wasn't really word for word but it's close to the REAL thing:

HIM: *trying to transfer one pic to me
ME: *press the "decline" option
ME: not now...
ME: i know you're trying to cheer me up and distract my attention, but do you think it's the right time to do so?
HIM: distract your attention?
ME: digress, if you want to put it
HIM: you think i'm trying to send you that pic is coz' i want to distract you? this pic has been edited a long time ago and i keep forgetting to send it, so since i saw it now then i send to you now. it's not that i want to distract you then i send you...
ME: BUT DO YOU THINK IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO DO SO NOW?
HIM: *displeased* do you need to put in cap locks?
ME: that is what i'm trying to say
ME: i have to put it in caps, then you are able to see what i'm trying to tell u...

am i sensing some serious lack of the similar wavelength of communication right now? i just can't bear to continue talking to him. i'll really blow my top. he don't get what i'm trying to say, and i'm seeing red just trying to get him know what i need him to know.

do my relationship have to be in such layman terms? do i constantly have to go, "i don't like you to do this because blah blah blah blah...". and i even have to be so specific that "this" have to be referred to that particular situation that i'm unhappy with? and i must literally REFER, so not to create any further misunderstandings.

my life is not that detailed as such, do my conversations have to be vice? please lor! it's super tiring having to keep explaining and explaining and explaining!!

i know he won't really understand what i'm trying to say in this entry, AGAIN.

okay, to put it simply, everyone just needs to find the RIGHT TIME and the RIGHT PLACE to do whatever things (i don't think i need to explain "whatever", right?) that is necessary. and also, the RIGHT WORDS to say.

seriously, if my entries are that tough to understand, either read a couple more times and make full use of your brain-cells, or just don't bother to read it. at least, i won't feel bad about writing "Cheem" entries and also having to go all length to EXPLAIN AND EXPLAIN myself to make people understand.

oh no, i think just by this para, a few will not understand.... ARGH!!!

quite a number of things to update for this post, and i'm kind of sorting my brain's fact-files. lol. to begin with.... clubbing.

you know, it's such a long time since the last time i felt high. and now clubbing, it gets abit boring for me when i was just too concious of what's happening around me. i missed the "floating" feeling though... i guess i controlled myself too much. however, the environment don't exactly allow me to "let go", just like that. hmm...

so i went MoMo, to celebrate Ebel's 20th bday - just the both of us. she just turned 20 and she claims she's getting OLD. if she's old, then me leh?? tsk!! so irritating lor, this kind of girl! kekekeke....

coincidentally (but not surprisingly), we met one of her guy friends and he had his group of GUYS there. he had a table and it's so.... just so lack of girls around. i don't know, i didn't felt too good joining them. it's just too male dominated. lol.

we didn't stay too long in the club. coz' about 1.30am, YM told me he was drunk @ Zouk. -.-" nonetheless, he said he would contact me again when he wanted to leave the club. so we waited till about 2.45am, he msged me that he couldn't take it anymore and would want me to pick him up. i thought Ebel wanted to stay, but she didn't. think it's the crowd i'm leaving her with that she's not exactly too comfortable, she chose to leave with me.

YM sat on the floor against one of the pillars, hiding in one of the dark spots when i found him. bloodshot eyes and totally listless look from him... didn't expect that he would gotten himself in such a state though. so since i gotten a cab (with Ebel) and got the driver to wait for me at the hotel lobby, i helped YM into the waiting cab and sent both of them home 1st, before detouring to my place.

felt REALLY BAD for Ebel about having to leave MoMo that early... i was expecting to stay longer. i'm not stating that it's YM's fault. i mean, who would know the unexpected things like YM gettin drunk so early?

anyway, i just received a call today from Club MoMo that i've actually won myself a MoMo's Ladies' Card! hahaha... so queer actually. the lady over the phone explained that the projector was faulty that day (i.e. Wednesday Ladies' Night) and therefore they didn't display the winners. hmm. so she told me that the next time i visit MoMo, just inform the door host that i've a ladies' card to be collected. WAHA!! don't ask me about the privileges and all, coz' i don't know. and i didn't ask.... hahahaha... HEE!! shiok!

i'm quite pissed with my 2nd in-charge actually. it's about my next week's roster.

i msged her on Thursday, informing her my requested day off which would be on Sunday. coz my dad told me that it's my grandfather's 100th day death anniversary. oh well... and i was wondering if i could request a morning shift on Saturday, the day before Sunday.

1st, she told me she didn't receive my message about my request;
2nd, she told me that i can't have 2 request in one week!

it's like, wah lau, i didn't request 2 days off lor!

anyway, she told me that i had to relief Afternoon shift at CityLink either on Saturday or Sunday. so since i thought that my grandad's thinggy more impt, i chose on Sunday. after which, she reminded (and also warned) me about giving LAST MINUTE requests would not be entertained.

today is only FRIDAY lor. what LAST MINUTE requests she meant? and it's not as if i called when they have confirmed the roster and all! plus when i called and asked, they told me they were in the midst of adjusting... argh! nvm. maybe when it's my turn to plan the roster, i would get pissed off myself..

so this means that on the fateful 27th, i'm sorry, i can't make it too. since it's an afternoon shift on Saturday, i can hang out late the day before, i.e. the 26th aka Friday. unless you guys don't mind meeting up after my class ends around 9.45pm... erm, let me know k? maybe no MJ lor, just another chill out session.

and i just went to the Doc's, to get some flu and cough medicine. so the drowsiness has sets in... that means i need to rest liao... =)

at home...

yeah man, it's my Rest Day today! thank goodness! i was rushing my project on Sunday that i didn't have enough sleep. so going to work yesterday was such a chore. plus, i was having flu and cough... so i told i told myself i'll get my revenge!

apparently i slept till 1.30pm today... waking up once in a while to check on the time. kekeke.... shiok!

till now, i'm still plague with abit of flu and an irritating cough. and i'm beginning to lose part of my voice... darn.

anyway, below's my schedule for this week:

Mon - M to 6pm
Tues - RD
Wed - M/6pm
Thurs - RD
Fri - 1/2 M @ CityLink
Sat - M/6pm
Sun - M/6pm

they've changed the knock off timing for Morning shifts to 6.30pm, instead of the usual 6pm. coz' they realized that it's a 7.5hrs shift for the usual shift, and not the actual 8 hrs shift. sianz... and i'll be working over the weekends... doubly sianz...

one too many

it always seemed to be the case when i have one appointment, many would come along. meaning to say, suddenly so many people would asked me out on the same week and i have like only 2 rest days avail... in addition, i also have to squeeze my project meetings amongst the "overwhelming" friends-meet-up response. hahahaha...

yesterday i met up with Bel and Mun. suddenly Ra couldn't make it, so sad. anyway, the rest of us like chatted forever. we can really talk man! till it kinds of scare me... lol. but it's so nice just keep chatting, laughing about ole' times and all. =) and we hang out till like 3 plus in the morning!! wah lau!! but the feeling damn shiok... hope we can meet up again with them again. and this time, it's with Ra.

but before that, i met up with my psychic and we hopped from one cafe to another. lol. 1st was Coffee Club where we had dinner and i had my garlic prawn pasta (soOo craving for that!!) and my pot of Strawberry Garden. so bloated with water i tell you!! and then it was too blardy cold to continue staying in Coffee Club (coz' it was raining), we went to TCC at Citylink and continued to drink some more. wah lau! so much water till i almost feel like puking and my bladder felt "stretched". lol.. then meet up with Bel and all, and drink some more! wah lau! hahahaha....

so, yesterday was shiok. so much of "catching up" with good ole' friends after so long and it felt heavenly. imagine if i have sessions of this like one day after another, i think i can just take that a full-time unpaid job... whahahahaha!!! but that's provided i'm married to a damn freaking rich husband or i have my family assets to sleep on it...

alright, i should go now. will be nuahing at home since it's like raining all day. and will be completing my project.

till then, i'll update on my roster again ya? next group meeting: with Hua and Mei Mei... u guys are mine!!

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

i'm actually quite sleepy now. but i got to endure a while more to get my SWOT analysis up for my Advertising Strategy project. apparently, that part belongs to another groupmate but i'm pretty unsure why i got to do this part in the end. sigh...

i've clocked so much OT and my in-charges are so uptight about it, insisting that i followed their roster so i wouldn't incur any more OTs. crap. and at work, it's awfully boring coz' we're totally just not busy. it's such a great contrast to the sales period. even though now the shop is so neat and tidy, as a staff, we still need to try to find something to do. we even resorted to cleaning the furnitures and all. LOL. it's quite funny lah. it's like ghost town in Centerpoint. so, drop by my shop and find me k?

ok, finally meeting up with Bel and group. yippee!! but i didn't get you girls anything for x'mas or any occasion where we're supposed to get each other presents. at least get you girls prepared for the worst from me, so i won't get u too disappointed with me. hee... i know i'm bad lah.

my roster's as follows:

Mon - Morning to 5.30pm
Tues - Morning
Wed - Morning to 5pm
Thurs - Morning to 5pm
Fri - RD
Sat- Morning
Sun - RD

look quite shiok right? however, waking up so early everyday is not exactly my cup of tea. plus, i don't get to go back home and rest after work lor. i got projects to rush... *grumble*

soon, i need to meet up with hua and mei mei to discuss about our itinery for our trip to Thailand! =) this, i'm SOoO looking forward to it.... and u know what? Ebel just beat me to it... dang! she just have to go earlier than me... @!@$#%&^... i was still hoping i can gush about it to her lor!!! bleah...

Happy (belated) New Year

i think i have been one of the worst friend ever. i didn't buy any presents coz' i'm like so super low on cash, i didn't meet up my friends for x'mas or NY gatherings, and i guess i've been wanting to meet up with some friends and i haven't got the opportunity to do so.

and so, this is like one of my 1st ever x'mas and NY to be working, while others are enjoying their long hols. the feeling's suckiest ever.

for the past 2 weeks, i signed in at 9am and knock off way past the official sign out time. so tiring, so exhausting. whatever "festive mood" i'm supposed to have, totally vanished. so right now, i've clocked like more than 22 hours of OT, and it's not as if they're paying me back.

with all the work, i don't exactly have time to catch up with my studies. with my rest days, i'm like catching up with my sleep more than anything else. and somehow, i can't exactly remembered i have rest days.... LOL. so i can't help feeling quite aloof this semester. and it's also not a very nice feeling to be aloof about studies. i'm really very insecure lor...

i'm like super unhappy... or pretty unsatisfied lah. so much angst about working during festive season, and yet there's nothing i can do coz' that's the price i pay when i decided to join retail. and it's this kind of unhappiness that irks me and i can't help thinking of changing job. i know part-time is a close-to-perfect situation for a study person like me now... but money how??? aiya, don't know lah...

i missed the countdown gatherings, i miss the friends sessions and all... haix. i feel i'm so bogged down with endless troubles and hurdles.

with all the late nights of working, i can't help feeling grouchy....
