so poofed out

I have been slogging the past few days' but it's worth it I guess. Now to priortise my life *work shouldnt come first anymore. I am really missing out on something important*
Updated list of wants:

A more exciting life

Spread out my time more equally and fulfillingly

Put that confidence and high-strungedness *is there such a word? I know what I am talking about okie..* into very good use

To make lists of everything in my life and know what I really want and need

Work to be pushed aside

Updated list of hates:

That woman who had the nerve to treat my arm as a rack for clothes and actually flip through the clothes hanging on my arm as I was hanging them back *left your brains at home when you are out shopping*

Singaporeans who somehow only buy things because of sales *sorry eh is this on discount ? I cringe everytime I hear that f***ng question*

My life being disorderly

Gosh sometimes I have some much pent up stuff I wanna say but when it get to this page it goes blank up in my mind. I wish that wouldnt happen and I wish I have the courage I do have to do things totally out of my comfort zone but I wish I did.

the power of english . . .

A single word can send hoards of people into a frenzy. It can make the hearts of many beat faster, the palms of many sweat and send them into a mission to grab things that they do not necessarily need.

S.A.L.E

Singaporeans are just hopeless when it comes to that word. My shop was in a mess after the lunch time rush hour and still many could still find their way around and actually shop. I do not understand how they could do that.

Sigh. Tomorrow is going to be another crazy day. Just hope I am ready for the madness.

What they do not realise is -
23rd and 24th May
Esprit At Great World City
Staff Purchase Day
I can give discounts to anyone I deem as a friend
50 percent off regular priced items .. 30 percent off timewear and fragrances
See you there k
*NO REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES FOR ITEMS BOUGHT BY THE WAY*

Anyway it would be cool to know why you were staring at me the whole time.. if you so happen to read my blog la *you know who you are*

a prick and cool tricks ..

FABIAN LOW CHONG WAH

You are the biggest prick in the whole f***ing world. You are the first customer ever to irritate me that much. Gosh. You couldnt hear me and said I raised my voice at you when I made myself louder. You looked over my shoulder the entire time when I was doing my transaction and you said I was rude. Do I not look like a singaporean to you ? Do not question what I know about my company and Singapore's policy when you are obviously the nuthead. Do not think that just because you are the customer everyone will bow down to you.

YOU DO NOT DESERVE ANY GOOD TREATMENT AT ALL BECAUSE YOU ARE A LOUSY EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING.


Who are you to speak to the bosses of esprit when you do not even spend more than 125.03 a year on our stuff. You are a pathetic human being who puts retail staff or whoever happens to be serving you down just because you have too many sorrows and inadequacies in your life.

YOU ARE A LOUSY HUMAN WHO DOESNT DESERVE ANYTHING GOOD TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE AND YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HATE SO MUCH WITHOUT EVEN GETTING TO KNOW THE PERSON

*end of mad rants*

*lucky my bosses believe in my personality and nothing happened to me even after your complain. our entire company thinks you are a prick now congrats*

Anyway I feel like such a good driver today .. woohoo .. lessons went so well. My dinner appointment went really well as well *Is it just me or does pastamania not taste as good anymore?*

on a monday ..

I started the day waking up at six plus *which I havent done in such a long time.. God have mercy* for a briefing at vivocity. My dear friends at esprit *especially my store manager* why is there a need to gossip just because I was dressed in a PTI polo shirt *which I happened to think I looked good in* and shorts ? I was going to swim and gym with my bff *best friend forever for those not into blonde fiction* JY after that what. Hm. Just not used to the attention I was getting. *not that I wasnt enjoying it though*

Anyway reached SAFRA mt. faber early and saw kids who attended the preschool there walking to the pool for swimming lessons. *They were so cuuuuute.. five "u"s seem good enough to emphasize my point* The point is I was shocked to see that whilst most of the little kiddy boys were holding that little kiddy girls hands like we always did when we were young. Around one quarter of the pairs were actually made up of two little kiddy boys. You have little kiddy girls walking by themselves and "lkb" *I am too tired to type little kiddy boys/girls.. shoots I just typed it again* holding other "lkb" hands. Either I am thinking too much into it or this proves that you are actually born with homosexual tendencies. The "lkg" walking by themselves turn into butches. *But they are still so cute..*

Lastly I cut my hair today *If you are my friends you should know I have a history of doing crazy stuff to the crop on my head* Anyway my hats goes off to ICON by Shunji Matsuo at B1 Wisma. *dont be too pleased* You should change your name to Sucky Matsuo as you are an ICON for super bad service. Firstly I think the manager who was standing greeting patrons right in front totally ignored me with his trusty, snooty, "I am ugly but still I am too good for everyone" type disgusting attituded sidekick. When I was going to cut my hair this conversation followed:

Nerdy and lousy looking hairstylist: How do you want be to cut your hair?

Nice customer ME: describes the way I want it and asks for his opinion

Nerdy and lousy looking hairstylist: Does not give opinion but continues asking whether I want a portion layered

ME: What difference would that make

Nerdy and lousy looking hairstylist: Fails to explain the differences and continues asking whether I wanted a part of my hair thicker and longer

ME: How different would that look ?

Nerdy and lousy looking hairstylist has the audacity to make a face, walk slightly away and make a ugh sound when he was the one who was supposed to be providing the service.

Luckily my hair came out okay due to my own nitpicking.

And how was I to know that you guys were too inefficient to keep your own cashier counter and I had to pay at the Isetan one ? By the way no one offered me this information till I found it out myself.

Anyway what goes around comes around fools.

The monday was still a fun one kz I was in a good mood for most of the day haha.

And a little quiz for you guys .. guess what the ppl are snatching for in the picture:

gosh .. what's wrong *this is going to be a super long entry*

I have been trying to blog for like the past few days~ but thanks to some status code 1-500-20 i couldnt and the worst part is I had so much stuff I wanted to get out of my system *imagine a bad case of emotional constipation - no shihan I am not making fun of you* Anyway I found a way around it and here is my longest entry to date.

Saturday 05.05.07

Sales has been emphasised once again in our store and everyone is trying their best to hit their individual targets. Hold on.. we are still colleagues right? We are still supposed to help one another and work together to better the common commission we are getting right? So we is it we steal other colleagues' customers which we were originally serving? Why do we have to be competitive within ourselves?

Mr. F it's no fun working with you around at all. You try too hard for your own sales while snatching ours away in the process. It's underhanded when I have been pushing a customer to buy stuff for the past 15 mins and you snatch him/her away just by helping carry his/her stuff to the cashier counter and claiming all the sales. It has happened more than once and you have done this to different people. You are a shark gobbling away our efforts. Have you considered sharks like you get turned into sharks fin soup?

*yummy..*

Sunday 06.05.07

A summary of the night : Overhyped outing. Something I expected to be super fun and like a lot more mixing around did not turn out as high as I thought it would be. Great to see you guys though. Hm.. on second thought I did not get as "into" the surroundings as I could have as I was late?

*sobz .. I was working have pity on me*

Monday 07.05.07

The sun is finally out when I have off and I can finally tan
*applause* It feels so good to be back out in the sun and letting my skin get darker. Anyway as I was lazing around on the deck chair under the hot sun *imagine my skin getting baked to a crisp tan* I decided what I wanted to do for my birthday party. *Applause somehow that was the perfect creative environment for me to brainstorm and think things through. I apologise to fellow tanners for scaring them because I think at some points in time I was talking to myself and thinking aloud* All my friends will receive invitations soon and I hope there will be a lot of fun for everyone

Driving lessons - tiring and a great leg workout. Traffic stinks and so does my instructor when he doesnt give me clear direction on where to go

Conversations of parents and their children who go Zhangde Primary that I managed to eavesdrop on on my way out - "who broke up with who" .. "who beat up who" kids live their little pure fantasy lives but somehow they seem to be growing up faster.

*silently wishing I was still a kid or somehow had a kid*


THE date - IT was great really enjoyed the dinner and your company. Let's do it again soon k.

Tuesday 08.05.07

I had such good luck today.

I punched in at work just on time.

I did not lose any money which I was supposed to bank in when the bag used to hold the money was not sealed properly and I was happily swinging on the way to the bank.

*I did not realise it wasn't sealed properly k*

I easily hit my target.

BUT, I got a cut so is it karma? Hm..
Going out with Siim Ann was fun as usual the dinner the crapping the shopping ~ so much fun.

Wednesday 09.05.07

My supervisor thinks I have potential

GASP

He thinks I am better than some of the sales consultants who have been working there longer than me

GASP

I can be promoted

GASP

This could be my career

GASP

I could stay there and climb up the corporate ladder

GASP

All I have to do it continue working there and not go to school.
>After overreacting at the praise I got and actually for the first time in my life be offered an opportunity that will affect my entire life and career, my mom shot me down and painted me a better, more colourful and richer future if I continue my studies.

*Gosh, my mom can outargue and outbitch me if she wants to.. I learn from the best*

*Double gosh, am I really that overdramatic? Face it .. I answered my own question*

Thursday 10.05.07

Swim .. tan .. gym .. meaty lunch with bff jy tan
*virginal time at safra mt. faber so fun..* . Such a fun and bimbotic adventure which will repeat itself next monday.

Friday 11.05.07

why you shouldnt watch spiderman ..

Woke up at 3 pm today .. What a luxury ..

Watched the Idol gives back concert of American Idol. Did anyone notice that Kelly Clarkson looks so much rounder now ? Kudos to her on her vocal performance though. Anyway the performances by Rascall Flatts .. the finalists and Carrie Underwood were really cool ~ Apologies to Josh ^I din type in Groban on purpose^ .. Il Divo and Earth, Wind And Fire ^what kind of a band name is that?^ you guys were flat like totally.



Question to Annie Lennox: You are the infamous lesbian singer right?
Suggestion to the producers of American Idol: I love Celine Dion. The performance with Elvis ^I din type in Presley on purpose^ was great. You guys should really get her to be a mentor and get the finalists to sing her songs .. woohoo

Anyway my main spectacle of today was watching spiderman 3 .. which was a comedy. Somehow the epic movie production was hilarious with so many jokes that the very minimal action scenes and emotional scenes at the end did not seem to have much punch. Spidy was pretty much a loser as well, having to throw lame retro moves at girls to get their attention .. dirty dancing with a blonde gwen stefani copy ^and her name is gwen as well^ just to get back at ole sweet MJ ^mary jane .. not michael jackson^ .. and actually having to rely on MJ ^drools.. pretty and yeah pretty^ and Harry Osbourn ^drools.. rich and cute^ to save him at the end.

Sigh not as good as expected. Comment to the "couple" sitting next to me and JieLin you are so sweeet together .. the nachos and the shit my sleeve .. we sincerely apologise for blocking your way to the toilet with our stuff and you kinda took too long in the toilet yah.

Lastly applause to Jielin for being great company .. sushi tei dinner was great .. the sushi salad and egg thingey with unagi was so yummy

mud pie at tcc was also good. the conversations were the best .. cya soon gal ..

sigh .. being very direct

I havent blogged in so long and here I am wondering what I should say ..


Firstly, to all of who think I am so bored with my life and cant wait for stuff to happen and the only way it seems to be going to happen is to kill myself, I am not suicidal. I like my life but somehow I always want more excitement. I am surrounded by loads of wonderful people, let's meet up more often k.



Secondly, my job. I like it a lot and somehow I cant imagine myself in another situation but I am leaving in less than three months and this is what I learnt.


I get my periods. Sometimes I am on sometimes I am off and more easily irritated I am sure some of my patrons know what I am talking about.


I am not fully racist. I just get detested by Indians and yes "china" people. Maybe it's just my horrible luck but all the customers I have from these two nationalites and races are more troublesome and demanding. I actually mix well with my malay colleagues okie


And btw the deadweight is not me. I will let you know I think I do very well as in superbly at my job by the way. Evelyn my dear gal .. I am sure that you are a very nice person but because of work I am utterly irritated by your uselessness and the crap you pull.



Sigh .. I am blogging for the sake of blogging.



Stuck in life .. waiting for more .. watching heroes wishing for claire or peter's prowess and thinking niki is totally hot. Going to tan tomorrow .. please let me wake up
