Whiskey Tango & Foxtrot

Last Wednesday after work I decided to take a bus home and since I had misplaced my fare card I had to pay by coins. Bus 66 came and I took out my purse…I asked the driver “uncle to bukit batok how much?”, he looked at his machine and whispered back to me… I was like “huh, how much uncle…?” again he whispered and he said something I could not understand. Getting a little bit agitated I raised my tone a little higher, he then speaks a little louder, this time I found out he’s a China MAN, driving our LOCAL bus…even if you need to employ foreign workers can at least train them to speak ENGLISH or not...?

Wednesday’s booking at work was ok…can pass, hopefully over the weekend it dosen’t pull down my percentage. One thing about working weekends most of the time it will bring ur scores down and sometimes if u are lucky it maintains… this weekend im working on both days and for the next 3 weeks I will have weekend offs. Yesterday Agnes emailed to the floor saying that our pantry Auntie mother in law passed away. Team starlets pool some money for her and we managed to pool quite a comfortable amout… I’m very impressed with our team sponatenity… most are willing to contribute, even CB who is on OFF yesterday.

Just now I called a "certain department" for assistance, and who else answers the phone but that BB!!!

1 asked him if the htl number is incorrect, he then asked me to go to 'property pull down menu' and locate 'local property staffing'…I see there got a lot of numbers to choose and before I said anything he said which wan is more appropriate for me and quickly after that he said of course you won’t choose the General Manager phone number right…I was like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is your problem...?

Why must be sarcastic…? Maybe I’m too sensitive…and whenever that BB answers the phone…always gimme this kind of stupid unnessary remarks lor… got attitude problem!!!! GTH chey!!!!

6am-2pm, shift Duty

today i fasted just like any other muslims. didn't thought i could make it but i did...work was so so today i didn't even dare to count my percentage. maybe i just passed maybe not. since i'm on off tomorrow all i could think of was home and running my errands. after daily review with VP, i went by to ms top's desk to see how is things coping up with him. looks like all is fine :-) but of course it takes time to learnt everything...it took me almost a year to know what is going on...i'm a slow learner...like they say slowly but surely...

after work i went to the cobler to send my 3 heels for repair, one thing about charles & keith the sole always never last long, after like a few wears the soles always need to be replaced. after that i feel it's like a brand new pair of heels and that is what i like. right after that i went to the dvd shop to rent a movie(permonition, starring sandra bullock). and after that i went to centerpoint to get my shampoo and guess what i met someone a long time hello-bye friend. we exchange a few words and guess what i asked for her name. i was honest of not remebering her name...at least i didn't pretend right...

after buying my shampoo i heeded straight home, fell asleep in the cab and once i got home without futher a do, i took a nap...whenever i'm on 6-2pm shift napping is important. it's to replace the hours of sleep that i have missed...this 6am shift got plus and minus. the good thing is you finish early and the bad thing is you have to wake up early. when i'm on this shift my usual wake up time is at 4.30am and if i'm sharing cab with mountain, cm or tingtang my wake up time would be at 4.20am. my usual sleeping time will then be around 930pm and that's the time of my evening news on 5. lately i have been sleeping late all because of the channel 8 drama(like father like daughter)anyway i'm planning to go back to the same routine by Tuesday as tonight is the final episode of that drama...

one thing about having enough sleep i will feel energized to go to work and very happy to take calls. last saturday i had a guest who calls up to arrange for a transfer for himself and his family. upon keying in the confirmation number the hotel that came up on the screen was LM Phuket Beach Resort. the next moment i knew i had a connection coming up...and when the time was right i connected with him, by sharing my experience...as i'm typing this i could imagine him with his family enjoying their holidays. they are staying there for 5 nights.

so connection is as easy as one two three when you have experience the hotel if not then it's a hurdle...how to overcome this...?

@ the Office on a Saturday

It was a quiet morning but a little busy for me clearing all those emails flagged by CB,CM & VP. it's like keeping me update on the ongoings even tho i'm not around...i shared cab with mountain as she is now staying at teck whye lane just opposite my old block which was 105. i had many memories both good and bad. at such a young age say around 15 i already had bad memories...how like that...? anyway the good memories blocked the bad ones and all i could remember now was a redevous i had once in the lift...kinky right...?

as usual the prank calls came thru my line and each time he/she calls and after 5secs of confirming that it's a prank call i hung up. i bet he must be feeling agitated as i could feel it...sometimes the caller would scream at the top of his voice, sometimes he curses & sometimes he sounded like an angry man who has no one to talks too. one way or another i pitied him & wished that God would answer my silent prayer...for now each time they call i just pushed the release button...and that would triggers the agitation in the caller!!!

yesterday...i was caught twice being in the lift with someone i don't really fancy. i rather have the lift to myself or wait for the next. but that would be too obvious...in the end i took the same lift...and i have to add this. that person did something which gained herself/himself plus points...anyway that's not important. so i went down to withdraw some cash and decided to pop into 'This Fashion'. tried on some tops and found 2 that i liked but there wasn't any good size for me. funny how at that very moment i have the urge to buy something on impulse. went to another shop next to the japanese restaurant and found nothing nice and so i went to the next shop and another next shop!!!in the end i found nothing and still...the NEED to buy something was still there. i then pop over to MPH and wanted to buy newspaper & 8days, they also don't have!!! feeling frustrated i went back to the office lobby and lit a cigratte...and boy that the next's best thing...

Rebonding thy Hair..on 29Aug07

Damage - $140 + $28 + $6 = $174. the reason why my blog title for today with dates and rebonding is because when the day comes i can refer back to my blog easily. to locate the price and how long ago i did it. i did get quite a few of positive comments about this new hair style. one comment from ms 3in1(i looked more feminine) and that made my day. i was on the 10-7pm shift and was contemplating if i should take a cab home or mrt and suddenly ms 3in1 saw me and commented lor...others just say nice and i returned them a smile.

what matters to me is after the shower, it dosen't ectangle much and after blow drying it the hair is as straight as you can ever imagine. it feels like you have just stepped out from David Gan's salon...or fresh from crimpping it. and sometimes when the hair is a little bit not straight on the cheek side all you need to do is wet it and blow dry it and wallla...IT'S STRAIGHT...amazing rite...? i didn't expect this lor... and i have to say this...i have followed the hairstylist terms and conditions about rebonded hair strictly- and that is NO TYING and now i seemed to missed tying my hair back.

today was an extremely quiet day for me. not many sms and no phone call during the day only after 6pm than that PP called...sms also not much don't know busy with what also...

oh this morning i went to see the doctor and as usual the same 2 ladies were working and they were surprised that i came so early and got all so excited. there were saying that dr handsome will be transferred back to their clinic. they kept saying the doctor's name but i can't recall who he was or was he handsome or not and since they insisted i just smiled. handsome or not what has that got to do with me right...? i'm so comfortable with dr.L and i have no plans seeing another doctor. back to why they were surprised is because whenever i go to the clinic is always after 4pm and sometimes almost closed to closing time(5pm). and that is because i had to work...

a LittLe ExciTed

(antm playing on tv,time check-22.56pm)as i'm about to type about my day today...where else but at the office *smiles* today's shift was 9-6pm. my actual shift was OFF but az swap her off day for last Tuesday to today. so i had to work and guess what... i managed to convert today with flying colours. as usual there was lots of car transfers and special request that needs to be done. i left the office today at 7.30pm and was hoping to catch a cab after 8pm but i got to the taxi stand earlier than expected and so i burned my $2 on peak hour surcharge... total damage was $14 lor...

today UB was exceptionally chatty don't know what came over her but i enjoyed her chats and they way she talks was kind of cute...her hong kong slang(accent) is so strong until you can imagine you are like in Hong Kong...i like to hear she said 'mou chor' until now as im typing this i'm saying it out loud... :-) mou chor x 3...

surprisingly harry potter left early just now, normally he leaves later. how late i don't know but he never leaves on time...i have not heard him kanna CIE since the day he joined us and that could be the reason for staying late all the time is it?...this one i think is a good example.... sometimes for me when the official work time ends, my brain will shut. all i could think of is home, funny how when at home there is no one waiting for me...and i can't wait to get home...apa nie??? anyway not all the time i'm alone ok...still got my other half...sometimes...

anyway harry potter is leaving us soon. last i heard he wanted to extend for another month but company refused as there are more than enough staff already. this is what i heard also...last time harry potter wanted to leave earlier but company asked for his help as company short of staff and so he stayed...so now when he wants to stay a bit longer company say too many people...how like that...?anyway these rumors can't always be true...the moment it reaches you it's a whole different story and sometimes there are even a different version!!!...so it's up to you to believe it or not...for me i plus minus divide lor...

anyway today at the office say around 2pm bad hair day came to visit me without warning. i don't like what i saw thru the small mirror infront of me and with that i touch-up my face(like that helps...) anyway that rebonding shampoo my stylist recommend is not suitable for my hair but still i like the smell...oh i forgot to mention that mr sir brought me a gift. actually not only me lor he practically buy for the whole office(me being sarcastic...don't mind me hor). it's quite catchy lor the wording...and here it goes 'u light up my life' press a button and then got light...(smilling as im typing this)...cute right...and somemore VP say "whoa got love" which i totally agree. it's the thought that counts lah hor...Mr Sir thanks hor...

anyway this weekend moi gotta work...come back for more and i'll update you. got so many things to say. keep in the heart for so long, dunno where to express until i found this blog space...

nite nite CB,VP,CM,Harry Potter, Paris,UB,Panda, door knob and many more...

a DAy @ the Office...

everyday without fail i will check out chia's blog. it's really interesting to read with what she wrote and somemore got pictures...she is like our(on behalf of sin res team) eyes to the US..of A. i have never been there and hopefully one day i'm able to...

today at work the same stupid pranks calls came from our neighbouring country. sometimes i wonder what is going thru their minds...what makes them call us? are they paid to make these calls? is it a 9-5 job with CPF? all they do sometimes is listen to our greetings and hung up or at times they laugh and even worse they will say 'u dog', 'u stupid'...in my heart u are the DOG!!! on certain days i can at least take 30-40 pranks call and it makes my heart boil whenever i hear their voices...

today's call i think it's bordeline can't really convert them, frankly speaking this job is like being back in school. every end of the month got result. must pass if didn't pass boss will talk to you and ask how come? if other's can do why u cannot do...? when they say this of course they win lah only thing is you don't need to get your parents signature...

this blog will be dedicated to work, anything about work it will be here, u will read about my complains and you will read about my pursuit of happiness(the the movie title) in this job. one thing good about this job is the incentives...actually not only that the people i work with is good too...one day i will elaborate...

Sunday...

Got up at around 7.30am with PP reading and playing games on the 2seater sofa. Today's plan was to do marketting and my monthly must do, SHOPPING. I wanted to get a dress or maybe a couple of tops but instead nothing caught my fancy and i end up getting panties and a red renoma bag. I really regretted buying the Perlini Bag. It's cheap and of low quality and it just dosen't look right after a few wears...now it sits in my cupboard. Sometimes it takes a while for me to realise something and the Perlini bag is one of the example...

I met Christine at Metro and we chatted for a while, didn't expect to see her there...she had her hair done(rebond) just like me...talking about rebonding...I did mine too last week. There are many terms and conditions. So before you go and rebond your hair, ask the stylist...this cannot lah that cannot lah...

It's been a long time...

I suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to start updating back what i have left behind...actually i didn't leave anything behind lor it's just that...i did my updates all over and it's about time i stop and stick to one. Thanks to Chia san...
