Days of my Life

We were complaining about the bottom box today. As usual, if through great misfortune, you picked up a transferred call from the previous person who had fucked it up (totally), you will be in deep shit. The Top box which you had painfully gained through giving into customer’s request ( even the ridiculous ones), smiling even when you are like being ‘butter’ ( Nobody told me that  I’d to endure that when I signed up for the job )… etc, would be pulled down by just 1 POOR rating.

“It’s like the hole had been digged by the previous person who had handled the call, and all the customer had to do is to push you in!” Jeanelle complained, clearly pissed about the fact that ‘What had I done to deserved this ( Poor )?

Jia Yun and I was laughing our heads off. Jeanelle has this innate ability of making people laugh with the things she said or complained. Just the other day, she was telling us about how she was thinking of the hundreds and one reason to say ‘Today will be my last day here!’.

“… And I told him that today be my last day…”

“And what did he said?” Jia Yun prompted.

“Orh!” She replied.

“That’s all?” I asked.

She nodded. Clearly resigned to the fact that ‘That’s how popular I am!”

Back to bottom box…

I totally understand her feeling. I was aiming, STRIVING, to get a clean record for this month. and WHAM! Poor atittude by the transferor -> Angry customer -> A POOR for me.

*@)#!^&$

Like what Ming Yong had once said, “Life can be so sad!”

Haha… I totally agree now!

The following morning, I managed to wake up with a clear head. Actually, still a bit high! but no headache and the sick urge to vomit. I’d planned to meet Bong for lunch and to get back from FRIENDS Vcds box set from him before he fly to US to further his studies.

Speaking of Bong! The last time I actually saw him in person was like last year, during our final DOTA Lan session. The group of us (Medic Gang) had decided to meet up for one last time and ‘grow out of it’. As usual, I was still the one getting killed first! (Those bastards! )

On the way to Thomson Plaza, Maine called. To my surprise, she’ll be going there too as ‘my office is around there’ or so she put it. We will be meeting up, to ‘bluetooth’ her those pictures taken the night before. She’d gave specific instructions NOT to upload those pictures onto Facebook, unless she authorised it. Thinking that she’s joking, I laughed. She silenced me with, “I’m serious!”

What a bitch!

The one thing that really ‘kills’ me is to have to think of a place to settle down for food. Fast Food is really expensive and ‘nothing’s new’, Food Court charges ridiculously and the hawker center is always so out of the way. I heaved a sigh of relief when Bong suggested Subway. He said, “Let’s share a foot long!”

For a brief moment, I thought I was talking to MY, the only other person whom I always shared a foot long with. Haha… I seldom go for Subway, therefore I leave it to him to order. And I love Subway’s cookies. It’s very ‘tooth-friendly’. As in not hard, soft and tasty.

He’ll be gone for 3 years, but will be back during his semester break. Great! Another person who can help me get cheap Vodka~~

Was trying to arrange a meet up with Sharon and gang. Had been a long time since I last saw them. I text her a message, asking her when will she be free.

Her reply was ‘Anytime man, life’s boring! By the way…u r? Paisei changed simcard so lost all contacts. P.S. Dont tell me u smsed the wrong person n wasted my 5cents. Thx!’

-_-” I replied her, ‘U know? Ah Tan’s cousing? The guy with the same hairstyle for ten yrs? Haha’

Oh,erm are you my husband’s part time lover? He ask me to send u his regards. And yes. He is free to drink with you. Lol’

The below pic says it all! This was taken during a gathering last year!

Anyway, I can’t believed that she doesn’t have my handphone no. It’s like we don’t have that 10 years of history.

… Come to think of it, I didn’t commit her number into memory too! Fair and square!

One of my ‘more than 10 years of friendship’ group of friends. I’m looking forward in meeting up with them again.

The plan was to meet at Brewerkz in Bukit Timah. I was on my way when Shirmaine called to inform me that the price is rather steep and she feel bad that she had chose such a location. I told her to walk out of the restaurant. She said no and that she’s too ‘pai seh’ to do it.

I said, “Just act blur and walk out! I thought you are great in acting blur?”

“Yar! I know but I’d already sat down and I’m too pai seh to do it!” She said, cleary torn between whether or not to walk out.

“Come out with something! Tell the waiter that your friend had cancelled on you! And looked pissed, then walk out!” I replied, throwing her an idea at the same time.

“I’m looking for the waiter who had served me! Where is he? ( like I know) BUT I’m still very pai seh leh!”

“At the most I stay on the line, and be here with you!” I said, giving my utmost support. It was then I heard her saying at the other end, to the waiter I supposed, “I’m sorry! My friends had cancelled on me! YOU ALL SHOULD HAVE TELL ME EARLIER RIGHT?”

Haha… She’s great in acting.

We went to Clementi later, to meet up with Jonah first, to have dinner. After which, we took a cab to Halo Bar @ SIM. Apparently, the bar was build after I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. It had always been the case. Once you leave a place, good places/renovation would be up/done. Kinda fuck.

Both Maine and I were glad that we had switched places. The beer here, in our opinio, is cheap. The tower is only going for $50.

Random Cam-Whoring

We ‘enlisted’ a waitress help to take this photo. And she did a half past 6 job! What a bitch!

… We should had ‘count on ourselves’ in the first place!

It was a very fun night. Jonah is really good at this Table Soccer game. Both Maine and I suck at it. We had a total of 3 Towers. Haha… AND, they had set a date to patron again. 10th of Sept, to celebrate Mainey’s B.D and my Belated B.D. WOOT!

A friend from poly-years rang me up when I was on the way to Old Airport Road with Frank the other day. Honestly, I was rather surprised to hear from her, because she’d been a pilot for quite a couple of times already. Pilot as in flying us the plane when we had already agreed and scheduled to meet up. We had a bried update on ‘Days of our current un-glam life’ and after making vow to yet another meet up, we hung up.

I told Frank about how it was quite scary, not to hear from a good friend for a period of time and when you finally did hear from her, she’s in the hospital. OD on sleeping pills. I told him, “Can you believe? Such a cheerful person will actually commit sucide!”

Frank suddenly looked like he had just seen a ghost and said, “When was that? She’s dead already?”

I resisted the urge to lunge for his throat. “No! She tried to commit sucide! She’s still alive and that happened last year!”

“Oh! She attempted in commiting sucide!” He said, in a very irritating wise tone.

… I’d clean forgotten about the fact that I’m having a conversation with a RJC graduate who scored 3As for his ‘A’ Levels, and that I must be really ‘precise’ with the words that I’m using.

He suddenly took out his digital camera and started showing me some of the photos inside. Apparently, he and some of his Uni-mates went to a Childcare Center or something for some voluntary works. While showing me the pics, he informed me that he’s documenting his life. ( Is he suffering from Alzheimer? )

As usual, the topic of ‘Have a girlfriend already?’ kicked in. That slut had gotten attached already, while I’m still in the middle of nowhere. Waiting! I asked him whether is that girl inside one of those photos stored in his D-Cam. ( It’s a tradition thing to do. To carry a picture of your girlfriend wherever you go! An unspoken rule! ) He nodded. I asked which one? He said, “You guess!”

Jesus Christ.

The second shock of the day was when he told me that another Medic friend, Desmond, was hospitalised due to difficulty in breathing.

Worse! He had an operation. Hospitalised for 2 weeks.

Even worse! Frank knew, went to visit him, without even informing the rest of us.

When I asked why? He said, ” Yarh! Why huh? I’d actually forget to include you!”

P.S. Just like 10 minutes ago, he told me that I’m on of his 4 best friend.

Interesting! haha
