been rather busy and was feeling tired these days.been working OT when the week is coming to the end. in any case, it's weekend again!! met up with dearest for dinner yesterday. dearest here refer to stef...(: was late in meeting her as i had to clear some work. sorry!! well, couldn't decide what we wanted to had for dinner. so...we has our usual favourite... that i don't think i need to elaborate. haven't met her since the last time at the chalet, so it's been a month plus. did some shopping...hahas. that's the usual habit of girls. and i guess we shall head to somewhere with the sun the next time round? (: oh, grandpa's condition is already under control. he is currently resting at home. glad that things has been turning for the better till now. guess my prayers do help a little. (: it's gonna to be the month of october soon. daddy is arriving back in singapore on friday night so next weekend is kept reserved for him. then the following weekend, the 13th? that usual group of colleagues have booked a chalet. and within that, yes i am the youngest. but interaction with them is always fun, and you can consult some of them on certain issues. since they have went through more than you do. (: well, i must say some are pretty good advisors. alright time for me to head the library now. shall update soon! till then, take care! Tuesday, September 25, 2007
yea currently blogging in office now.i've already got used to those attitudes of customers. it's the CSO that gets me pretty turned off. yea only one of the 3 mobile operators. the way they twist their words...seriously they just... anyway, things can't be getting better in any case. it has been confirmed that grandpa is diagnosed with stomach ulcer. it's the same illness that took my paternal grandpa away. he is currently under observation, if things doesn't get well, op is the only solution. but it was also the op which took my paternal grandpa away. and now there is this unknown kind of fear within me. i know worrying doesn't get me anywhere but this is human nature. at the same time, i seriously have no direction of how to go about it there is practically no way to know if he is having any slight bit of interest at all. (and maybe he does not even know..) and i do not wish to ask it the direct way. (well, sometimes the direct way is really scary.) because sometimes when you hold on and you are the only one that is taking the steps. it can get pretty tiring at times. but when facing him, it is a feeling that i can't describe. but i know with his company, it is always good. ohwell, shall see how it goes. (: anyway, it's time for lunch. shall update soon! Sunday, September 23, 2007
i have labelled this weekend as fulfilling. (:although within it, there are indeed some news that i hoped i did not have to know. brought bro to NUH to get his repaired hearing aids, and we headed down to jurong east with sis to get some baking needs while waiting for mummy to meet us for lunch after work. so decided to do some baking while lazing at home on a saturday afternoon. today... went to bugis to do some shopping with sis while mummy is having her facial. and we had our lunch at our usual favourite. yea, that's pastamania. brought quite a few things today, and of course, my pocket... yea you know what has happened. anyway, after shopping was done, we went down to visit grandpa who was hospitalised this morning. suspected of internal bleeding of his stomach. everything has to be confirmed after he finished all the tests tomorrow. i might not be as close to my maternal grandparents as compared to my maternal aunts and uncles, but there was an overwhelmed emotion today when i visited my grandpa today. can't exactly describe how. but i know he'll stay optimistic and strong with regards to it. alright, that's about it for the time being. shall update soon. (: ` those words that i wanna hear. Thursday, September 20, 2007
perhaps it's one of the worst day that i have ever met in office.wonder if i was lucky or my supervisor has lesser luck, the calls that were directed to her line... callers were pretty nasty... one of the callers is totally unreasonable. well, based on my supervisor's patience level, i salute her for that. the flexibility of using MSN in office is always nice... is a form of relaxation when you are not in the mood to handle calls. (: not only that, the pool room would be good too. well, my supervisor was asking if i am gonna to catch the next movie this week. and i told her no. well, when i check out the time slots last 2 days for No Reservations, there were only like 3 to 4 time slots each day. i guess after all, i have to give this movie a miss. (even though i really wanna catch it) or anyone is in favour of catching this movie? (: there were many emotions involved when i met this MINDS child on bus while travelling home today. he was a kid of his own mind. but we as normal people, well, most of us, would not perceive him as a normal kid who needs the care and concern. instead what we gave was that strange kind of looks as though he was 'special' i think i could understand such feeling. because i went through it before. it's not easy overcoming all these. because we need the courage to do so. pretty random right? just thought of putting some thoughts into words that's all. alright, time for bed, it's finally friday tml. another weekend for rest. but gonna to bring bro down to NUH to collect his stuffs on saturday morning. ` the closest distance is not when two people are standing together, but when their hearts felt the same thing even when they are poles apart. Tuesday, September 18, 2007
work is gonna to remain the same other than the different callers that i talked to everyday, the different mobile numbers that i get in touch with...in fact, i do enjoy my job, it's just the certain attitudes callers have that would turn me off. one of my colleague just came back from paris, yea went paris due to work committment. saw the pictures that he took. how i wish i could travel there too. sometimes it's just nice even though you are travelling to a certain destination due to work. at least it was a travelling experience. but i have reserved paris for my future travelling destination, which is inclusive of switzerland.(: cos i know it's hard for the family to arrange a tour out based on everyone's schedule... supposed to meet up with the clique on the 5th Oct...(tentatively...) as ame will be setting off for taiwan this fri, and jiahuey to hong kong on sun night...and they will only be back next week. but i have to disappoint them by msn-ing jiahuey to make a change to the meeting date... sorry dears...so we shall pick another date alright? (: cos daddy is arriving back in Singapore on 5th Oct night... so the usual practice is that we will pick him up and we'll head for dinner. on top of that, mummy is urging me to finish off with the basic theory for driving. but to take the test alone, pretty lonely yea? cos bukit batok driving centre is the nearest from home. was on the phone with stef on sunday night. pretty much for catch up within a 20-min phone call. well, that's how best friends talk when they are caught within time limit... especially it was time for bed...(it was nearly 12) few of my good friends who know are asking me to take it easy. i know, that's becos they are worried, and that they know clearly i want. even i am worried too, for i don't know what should be done. well, for the time being...just maintain it with a (: time for bed anyway. tend to get sleepy in office these 2 days... but will get awake once the phone calls are in... shall update soon. Sunday, September 16, 2007
decided to cook dinner for the family yesterday night.had pasta for dinner... and yes i did not make a mess out of the kitchen. it's gonna to be a brand new week for work tml. i guess i have replenished sufficient rest since i have coped at home for the weekend. i guess i will head out home for some shopping next weekend... in need of a bag...(: wonder if the weather has been rather cool these days... my knee (yes, the old injury) been aching at times, or rather been feeling slight pain. and on top of that, wonder if i did not sleep well, i think my neck is feeling the sore too. alright, need to turn in early tonight. take care ppl! popped by sino's blog a few days ago... well bro, i guess there are things that i can't help even if i want to, even a listening ear would hurt at this point of time. didn't manage to talk to you much during the chalet, but i guess you have learnt how to handle certain things much better than before. work on it yea? well, i wouldn't bother you with my stuffs too. cos you have too many things on your mind now. although i know what i want, but i can't seem to read the other party's mind. mentally i should be prepared for any setbacks, but i know clearly, i am never ready for that. becos somehow or rather, he is THAT important. so if you happen to drop by or something, advise a little? (: meanwhile, take lots of care, and msg me if you think time is right. Saturday, September 15, 2007
slept half my saturday away..work was pretty hectic yesterday, but in all, everything was fine. finally i should say, i am getting used to attitudes of those nasty customers. had the friday night out. finally caught Ratatouille at Marina Square GV (: it was pretty good, wonder how would my supervisor has slept halfway thru the movie? had a casual talk before the movie since we had time, and it was pretty good though. but well, due to time constraint, i didn't manage to visit the place that i wanna go. save it for another time then, since i have waited so long to visit that particular place, i shall wait for a while more...=P bumped into lilian, jiahuey and the buns there as well. and i guess lilian was too surprised for words right? hahas. anyway, finished with Ratatouille, next should come No Reservations. as said, this is my holidays, even though i am working, i guess i should still place time for all these. oh ya, tks for the donuts, should say that i wanted to get them quite some time ago, but due to work, i can't spare the time. (: in all, even though i was feeling pretty tired last night, i did really enjoy myself, the only pity was the place that i wanted to visit, cos it's best to visit it in the night. and yes, apart from the work and gatherings. the next concern was results. everyone was asking with regards to gpa and grades. well, my results, can't say they are good but they are not too bad either. should say it maintained? the release of the results was a relief for me personally. as for others, i don't know. alright, have a good rest this weekend ppl. shall update real soon! (: Wednesday, September 12, 2007
work has been rather 'peaceful' these days.apart from a few nasty customers that i have to get used to them... everything is getting on fine... and more info to be taken into my memory as there are new services. i just don't understand, why do some parents think that kids in primary school are not capable of activating those ringtone services that they see on tv? kids are getting smarter these days you know, in terms of denial of stuffs and knowing all these fun services. at times, i feel, they are even smarter than us who are older in terms of age. well, these are just personal opinions, no offence. (: been getting along very well with colleagues. all of them are easy-going and always making fun of each other. seems like i will definitely enjoy this temporary job of mine. even though it's the holidays, certain things do not get erase from the mind. they are always kept in mind constantly. just that there is not a need to show or talk about it. well, maybe he is the one, but am i the one that he is looking for too? that's the question of doubt. but whatever it is, i just have to let nature take its flow. when things are supposed to happen, they will. and when words are supposed to be said, naturally you will hear them. (: alright. been feeling slightly tired today. turning in now. shall update soon. Sunday, September 09, 2007
well, i thought...perhaps i should do a preview of those movies that i wanna catch... Ratatouille "Ratatouille" is about a lovable rat - Remy - who constantly risks his life in an expensive French restaurant because of his love for good food, as well as a burning desire to become a gourmet chef. Obviously, this is rather far-fetched for a rat but opportunity knocks when a young boy, who desperately needs to keep his job at the restaurant despite not being able to cook to save his life, makes Remy a partner. The two of them learn to avoid the insane head chef, bring the rest of Remy's family up to his culinary standards, win the boy a girlfriend, and of course, produce the finest ratatouille in all of France! many of my friends have already caught this movie at this moment of time when i am still typing them out. and yes, all of them recommended me to catch this movie soon.
No Reservations this movie was mentioned by mummy. well, some of my friends have caught it and strongly recommend it to me as well... i wonder if i do have so much time to catch all these movies...but for sure, i want to catch Ratatouille! i think this has been on my mind for like 2 weeks at least? as for no reservations, hopefully i will have time to catch it too...(: *information taken from yahoo website. oh ya, guess i will be submitting my time sheets to the job agency this friday...which means i have to make a trip down to taka to hand it in personally since i am the only one who is working in sybase 365... the first week of work. been getting calls of nasty customers for the past 2 days. well, i should have expected it somehow. since i decided to take up this temporary job. as time would pass faster when i take up calls. (well, this has been proven.) still, i am not discouraged to get to work, i just have to take it as a different experience each day. the reality outside is gonna to be even worse than now when i get out to work in the future. even though i meet nasty customers, i didn't flare up at them. (so i should use this chance to further train my patience...) this weekend was pretty good. had sufficient week, at least it's enough to replenish for last week's. went to the library to borrow a couple of books to read as well. and yes, exams results will be out on the 14th sept!! which is this coming friday... wonder how's results gonna be. but whatever it is, what has done cannot be undone. (: i realised it has been a long time since i last walked along my favourite place. perhaps i should take a walk sometime soon. whether i visit this particular place in the night or in the day, both are equally favourable. well, some would find it best to take a walk with their partner.. but what i love about this place is the serenity...(most of the times) oh ya, holidays has started for 2 weeks. but i am not in the mood to start my baking journey yet... although i have most of the stuffs ready...hahas. alright so much for now. shall update soon. (: Wednesday, September 05, 2007
well, just as i thought that things went well at work...call it finally or unfortunately. i handled a call of a nasty customer today, just after lunch. well, the whole thing goes like this: the daughter calls in to clarify charges with regards to the services that her brother subscribed and did not terminate them till today when she called us. (can't imagine primary school kids these days, they are getting smarter, which they know how to subscribe and terminate such services on their own.) the amount came up to quite a huge amount to a girl like her, so being nice, we decide to waive half of the amount (which this half has amount to near a hundred) which she has agreed to it. however, within half an hour later, she called and asked us to call and explain to her father with regards to this matter... (i predicted that it wouldn't be good stuff but well, i have to call eventually) so i pick up the phone and call the father because the daughter say that he was unhappy with the option that we gave. guess what? he was VERY VERY rude...he started scolding upon hearing that it's our company. and wouldn't listen to any form of explanation that i wanted to do. being left with no option, i can only let him scold, and i can tell you, with his volume getting louder and louder when i have already decreased the volume of my handset down to the lowest. yes, how i wish i could just hang up on him, but i can't. he couldn't accept the 50% waiver eventually, so he wanted me to discuss with my supervisor with regards to full waiver which i told him it's impossible. as much as i know those couldn't get into his ears, so i replied ok. and guess what? my supervisor says don't bother calling him back, just see how things go. rested for half an hour before i start picking up calls again, needed that time to rest and cool my mood down. supervisor was surprised at how fast i could get back on track with my normal tone. well, someone has mentioned before that i shouldn't let customers like him spoil my day...(: anyway, it's gonna to be another day at work tml. things will get better, i believe. working environment's been comfortable. could lie against my arm chair during phone calls as some calls last as long as 20 mins. and time would really pass real fast as i could use MSN during working hours. well, as i say, my company uses MSN to communicate with each other. (: managed to re-format my lappy ytd with the help of renxin. (he knows such things better...) so was busy downloading programs into my lappy, or rather to inject a new life for my lappy. almost all the programs have been downloaded. just have to check and see whether if i have missed out any. alright, i guess this is all. shall update soon!! oh ya, mummy just mentioned to me that 'no reservations' seems to be a good movie to catch as well. oh no, so many good movies but no time to cater to them yet...(: got to check them out in terms of preview first... Monday, September 03, 2007
anyway, as promised. here are the photos for the chalet... all thanks to fiona...!!  game of murderer...  busy at 'work'...  fiona and i...  evon and i...  lifang aka waipo, me, evon and layhoon aka my niece  girls' group photo  people say cheese!! that's all for the chalet part... next...  this is the board where i can scribble anything that i want...(can be used for venting of anger too!!) i face this system to key in any data, but not all the times...first day at work was nice!! no nasty customers, instead there were interesting customers around!! it's a way to train my tolerance level though. (: big boss was nice too, yea, he is an american, and his accent is really... company is rather big though, it takes me one end to another just to visit the washroom. well, it's only a few metres away to the pantry, where the vending machines are located too. oh, i have not introduced what kind of services my company deals with though. does those advertisements of sending "Elva" to 75141 ring a bell? well, if they do, yes this is one of the service that we help in terms of termination and enquiries. this is only the first day, shall see how the other days go... and on top of that, time passes very fast!! apart from the calls, i have MSN messenger to accompany me throughout my working hours. well, yes, i am allowed to use it during working hours, that's because i will communicate with my supervisor via that too... weather was ultra cooling. but i didn't feel sleepy at all. however, it was indeed a nice feeling to take a slow walk up from the bus stop to my house. alright, shall update soon!! take care people!! Sunday, September 02, 2007
phew, one weekend is over!and yes, it's time for me to start work. starting work at 9am tml, and i am reminded to be punctual. (well, i am always punctual (: ) wonder how would first day of work be... how would lunch out be as well... treat it as another IPP then. but it's casual dressing in the office with the exception of shorts and slippers. and yes, got the news that ame will be going for an interview tml morning, and if she is successful, she will begin work immediately...!! and i believe she'll do well for it...(: went out shopping with the family yesterday. got myself some beauty products, a top and a pair of heels. so happy...well, girls usually get real happy after a shopping trip though. and yes it's september already. just wished cooper bon voyage for his osep tml. he is flying off to ireland..hahas. got to wake up early tml, can't sleep into the late mornings that i usually does this week. well, i guess i still can take a wink on the bus to work. it's a direct bus to work anyway, 961. (but i guess i will read my book instead, gonna to return them back this coming sat.) alright, so much for now. shall update with more when possible. wish me luck for work tml!! (: take lots of care ppl, especially those in IPP and those working temporary like me!! |
Goodbye.
