I got to celebrate 4 birthdays in a row. Starting from today all the way to sunday.

My bank account is double digit. Yes, it’s possible. I thought my pay is supposed to bank in on 26th but apparently not.

I had a super expensive dinner at Scarlett hotel. 60 bucks for dinner. Shall post more pics up but it was fun talking to the girls. Sometimes, I just feel abit odd being with them cause they got more common friends than I. Maybe I am just paranoid cause they are always very nice to me. Oh yah, they think I should be Samantha from Sex in the city. Wahahhaa

My client this week is super nice. Next week I am bad to a lousy client. Shit man. Poor Miss Pooh have to work till morning. Luckily I don’t have to OT so much. She sounds so miserable and her bf is in town now and she can’t go out with him. Jia you chou Pooh.

I am supposed to take the few hours I have before I head out of the house to listen to some chinese songs and learn to sing. I can speak chinese very well but my reading sucks. i can’t read chinese words in ktv so I usually have to practise before heading for a ktv session. So normally someone needs to read the chinese words before each line before I can sing. My only defense is that it is the traditional chinese words and not the simplified one.

Ok, off to practise before ktv session later. My aunt’s birthday. ha. So cool to have it at a ktv.

Xmas day was spent with the tai tai gang. I got 2 bags ( to add to my collection) and accessories from them. As usual, we went shopping for their birthday presents and stocked up on more gossip about our ex classmates. Cheryl and I bumped into someone from our primary school. Weird thing was that I saw him and looked quite thoroughly at him but had no idea who he is. Until Cheryl pointed out. Wah, he still remember me even though I put on so much weight.

Our shopping ended on a real bad note when we were at one accessories shop at City Link (whose name is a number). My friend put back the shades she was trying and as the stand was not secure enough, the shades dropped off and broke. Ok, we were made to pay for the shades. No big deal except the sale girls were giving us bad attitude. So we decided to pay and call the manager to get a refund. Instead of them calling to check for us whether we have to pay. Fine. They told us it’s company policy that spoilt objects have to be paid. I called up the manager who was not in Singapore and was told that I did not have to pay for it. Wow. So the girls did not know the company’s policy and claimed to know. And what if the customer did not pursue the matter?

The girl even had the cheek to tell us to use the sunglasses when we asked her what we can do with the damaged item.

When we returned for the refund, we told them that they should have checked for us before insisting that we have to pay. The girl replied “we are already giving you back the refund. Why are you still giving us attitude?”

Wow, the service level leaves much to be desired.

When my friend asked for her name, she gave us her name and in turn asked for ours. WTF. I have never ever heard of such things before.

There were 2 of them in the shop. 1 of them was damn rude ( the one who wanted our name), the other one was alright. So I turned to the other one and praised her for how she handled the situation. And guess what she said?

A smart lass would have said thank you. But no, she went on to say that my friend had a bad attitude. I really don’t know how to react. Cheryl was so pissed, she raised her voice and told them off. Cheryl is the demure type until provoked.

So now the accessories shop is taken care of by 2 ah lians with super bad service standard and bad PR. Maybe they are young. But I was simply appalled at the attitude I was given. Even if the customers sucked, you should have endured and just bitched about them when they leave.

They didn’t even know the company’s policy and kept insisting that we have to pay cause “it’s the company’s policy.”

Well, the manager I called gave me good service recovery. As for the salesgirls with the attitudes, they just spoilt all the customer service recovery the manager had done. Basically I am going to boycott them and ensure that none of my friends stepped into the shop again.

They may be just temporary staff there but they sure had limited my and my friend’s spending over at the shop. So choose your temp staff correctly.

I woke up at 6 am to do my work.

I have got work to bring home to do. Faints.

Went to teach my new tuition kid yesterday. Not too bad. She was friendly.

Then went out with my younger sis to catch the Holiday. Our favourite. Chick flick! Then we discovered that we have something in common. We both hate to munch on things during the movie cause it is too distracting. We only eat our tidbits before the movie.

I love kate winslet’s character. She is so sweet and nice!. Kate is more like me. Cameron is such a tough cookie. I wish I can say I can’t cry.

After the movie, it was time for SHOPPING. My sister is really quite clever ah. I tried an L and it was too big for me, so I told her to get me one size smaller and she returned with an S. I came out of the changing room and she remarked “eh, too small for you.” Of course lah, you give me the wrong shirt size.

Too bad I didn’t get any shoes.

Then on a whim, we got a xmas log cake to eat. Ha! Even though we have no party. Just buy to eat for fun and for our parent’s 25th aniversary. Breadtalk got 25% discount for OCBC card holders.

Later I will be heading out to tuition on xmas eve (sob sob) and then for another movie, Night at the Museum. Watching movies with young children very jia lat. They can’t watch my RA shows and they don’t like chick flicks. They only want cartoons which I hate. Luckily we managed to compromise.

With the long holidays, friday seemed like xmas eve. I am able to knock off early for once (early means 630 even though my working hours end at 530. cheebye) With the uber bad mood for the whole week, I decided to go out instead of moping at home over prison break. Hence, I asked Mr Fag out over one of the random outings we always have.

We decided to head to The Village to eat. I saw the monstrous queues and wanted to go off to some other place to eat when his tall head spotted our two juniors, andy and marcus. Alone. heh. No, they are not gay. In the end, we ate together and spent the whole night together chilling out. Randomness is good hur? We went Starbucks and talk alot of cock. Andy and Marcus are amazed at the profanities Mr Fag and I sprout. Anymore, we will be growing beansprouts (oh my dearest sebastian in jack and the beansprout!).

The conversation will go something like this

Marcus did something to irritate Mr Fag accidentally.
Mr Fag : Dua lanjian.
Andy: Eh good leh, Marcus he is praising you.

Then I said something which Mr Fag responded to (can’t remember)
Mr Fag: cheebye
Mrs Lim: I have.
Andy: (omg, I want to get away from them!)

Then Mr Fag decided that I have a dua cheebye which I told him I don’t.
Then he went along chao cheebye to scold me. Which I told him I don’t have. Wahhaha

And Mr Fag said something to irritate me, in which my middle finger had a reflex and was pointing in his direction.
Mrs Lim: fuck you
Mr Fag: come lah.
Andy and Marcus: !!!!!!!!!!

Heh.

Then I came home and saw a package for me! I got a xmas parcel from my ex colleagues! Omg, I was just thinking of them while suffering during my present internship and they gave me a parcel!!! Couriered to my house somemore. And inside was a SAMSOOn Pig. Omg, they remembered. I put it as my msn pic that I wanted a samsoon pig couple of months ago and they really bought for me. Since samsoon pig is white and prone to being dirty, I have to keep it in my cupboard. My sister was staring at me in puzzlement, when I put Samsoon pig in my cupboard and said “Move over Koala” pushing Koala aside to put Samsoon pig in the middle. heh.

That’s a real sweet surprise and I was like a kid tearing open the box to see what is inside.

Looks like I can go home early. I am so fucking pissed with my client’s employee. Bitch. I told her to show me some entries on their computer system and she told me to check it on the paper source. I mean, I know I can check there but I need to know that there has been no tampering of the paper source which is why I need to check the computer system. And she flared up at me. She typed the entries on the computer system loudly and made a lot of tsk tsk sound. I feel like slapping her till her head turned 360 degrees. Please, I only took like 5 minutes of her time and she made it seemed as though I wasted 1 hr of her precious time. Nabeh cheebye. And she made a note to complain to her management I presume. Whatever, I am just doing my job. I hate my client. I am going to boycott their products. They have super stuckup and unhelpful staff.

I can’t wait to go back home asap since I am feeling furious right now. GRRRRRRR.

Update: We just had a run-in with our client. It was so awful.

Now I will just blog at work and save my entries. I need to vent my anger on an inanimate object before I blow my top. Then when I got the time, I will post it here.

Miss Pooh and I are miserable in our internship. Although we are in the same company, we have been assigned to different clients. It’s not the colleagues that suck but the work more so. I was so pek cek I wanted to throw down all the files and walk out of the room. I think I went through more than 50 thick files already within a few days. I have been doing OT since the 2nd day of OT and the hours somehow follow a trend of increasing 1 working hour per day. It has been 13 hrs on tues and I was almost faint from hunger.

There is no wireless for me to tap to go on msn(ha!) hence its 100% pure work with no rest. I am giving myself 2 more months to get used to it. The taxi fare every night is crazy.At least 20 bucks each night and although I get reimbursed, it is only at the end of the month. So far I can forsee 100 bucks of taxi cab fare this week. Did I mention my internship pay is only 650? Luckily I have tuition or I will face a real cashflow problem.

Luckily I was released at 730 pm today and have to bring some work home to do ( which is able to be completed within half an hour). As I thought I will be OT-ing for a long time, I did not check out the route to go home from the client’s place (thought cab again). Bah. In the end, I have to go figure out how to go home. Journey took 1 hr plus. Pfft.

I really feel like a scatterbrain while doing this internship. Maybe this is just the beginning but I have made mistakes which I have to take some time to correct. Haiz.

Counting down. 2 more months to go.

Friday
Bah. OT until 10 pm. Cab Driver guessed my job correctly. Tmr is Half day but I will be working as usual. Hopefully I can end by 6 pm. Hope.

Sebastian Tan is cute and has a fab voice. I thought he was lip-syncing when he is singing. That’s how good he is. Now he is my latest crush. Wahahaha.

Saw Lim Yu beng and Tan Kheng Hwa. Kheng Hwa looks good in real life.

The play has lots of audience participation and is funny with a very local flavour.

Karen Tan was fabulous too. Ditto for the girl who played bamboo. Not forgetting Ivan Heng. I forgot he’s a man during the show.

But I <3 Sebastian best.

PS: pardon my short sentences. Brain is shutting down.

Some stuff which pissed me off at work
1) Some admin person who was fucking rude to me when I handed her my timesheet. Fucker.
2) I can’t claim my OT. Bah. I get paid very little. OT means alot to me.

At least my colleagues today is nicer although my client’s location sucked. I have to miss an outing since I did OT.

yes yes, it’s OT galore. In the run-up to xmas, I have to OT. No wonder, I can’t feel the xmas cheer at all.

I just found out about the new classified on friendster. Now now, I would have thought that it would be like the straits times classified. Boy, am I wrong. Now I have seen 2 adverts pimping themselves.

“female in need of cash urgently willin 2 hav sex in exchange of money… protection is a must!! can reply either thru here or my email add… wil reply 2 u asap… pls help me out tnks….”

and there were a whole load of people who replied.

Friendster has degenerated itself to such a state. Sigh. Good old friendster was good enough. The ones with new features is sort of being a nuisance.
