So ya, as usual, when you're in the service sector, u get all sorts of customers. very gei gao kind, very nasty ones, unreasonable ones, and of coz the nice ones. Thanks to those nice ppl, us working in the service sector won't go crazy. LOL. That is the problem with alot of singaporeans. They expect good and cheap stuff but where in the world does that kind of thing exist? Like seriously.. If not is when they are working, they give bad attitude but when they are customers, they expect good attitude. What kind of unreasonable theory is that? Or else there'll be some irritating ppl. thinking that they are educated and maybe well-off then they have their noses up in the air. For wad? Looking to see when a pile of bird shit is gg to fall on them then go buy 4D ar? Aiyo.. Cannot stand these ppl...
For example, there were several times, I realized they are all guys, who will come up to me to redeem a FIVE DOLLAR voucher (Meaning not a very big amount). The promotion requires customers to produce their card, charge slip and receipt before they can redeem. Not because we doubt that they lie to us or wad but because we need to send the records back to the bank and we need to take down their names and card numbers. Then unreasonable ppl will have this kinda conversation with me. (N I repeat, they are all GUYS.)
Me: Sorry Sir, I'll need your credit card pls...
Male customer: What?! Aiyo.. I thought just now see already? What is the problem with you all? See n see... N it's juz only a FIVE DOLLAR voucher! (meanwhile reluctantly fiahing out his card from his wallet)
Me: (Irritated) Sorry sir, but we need to take down ur CARD NUMBER because we need to send this back to the bank
Male customer: (ignoring what I said) This is very ridiculous... Very inefficient. I'm in a rush you know? N it is JUST a five dollar voucher! So troublesome!
Freaking ridiculous.. Deep inside I was thinking, if you think so lowly of a 5 dollar voucher, y do u even bother to redeem? N y is it only 5 dollars? Because u are a stingy man and refuse to spend more. Seriously, if you spend 1K, I would not hesitate to exchange 50 dollars worth of vouchers for u lo. Simply dun make sense. That's y I say, juz because u are educated does not mean others are not. By kicking up such a fuss, u are only embarrassing urself... Again, I want to repeat, this happened a few times. So it means that there are quite a few such customers in Singapore. To think that there was a guy who came up to redeem the full 200 dollars worth of vouchers and was so much more polite than everyone else added together.
Another instance. Because there were 2 promotions ongoing, isetan management decided to have 2 queue-lines to redeem vouchers. However, when it becomes kinda busy, I'll be the only one redeeming vouchers for both sides. So there was this very effeminate guy hu came up to the HSBC queue and stood there for a while (I was sitting at the beauty bonus queue). Then eventually, he asked in a very annoying manner:
Effiminate Guy: Errm.. Excuse me. It says this queue is for HSBC redemption but I dun see anyone sitting here.. So, wad are we suppose to do?
Me: Oh, sorry.. I'm the one redeeming for both HSBC and beauty bonus. If you could wait a while, I'll attend to you shortly...
Effiminate Guy: But this doesn't make sense! Why do you even bother to have a barricade here and separate the 2 queues when ther's juz one person redeeming for both? This is very inefficient!
Me: Sorry, juz give me a moment..
Effiminate Guy: Murmurs to his 'friend'
Haix.. Another one of this kinda rubbish customer. N he is not even the one redeeming the vouchers. It is his 'friend' hu is redeeming lo. Make so much noise.. For what? Dots.. Lucky his fren is more polite or I might juz punch them in the nose...
Digressing a lil, I saw the same thing happened at BBDC the other day. I went there to queue and apply for my PDL, hu noes got alot of ppl so I ended up waiting for close to 2 hrs plus before my turn came. Juz when I was about to be done, a couple came up to the counter next to mine. Then the guy started making alot of noises. N to think that the lady at the counter was so polite to him. She was more polite than the laday attending to me hu juz talked in single syllable lo... So unfair...
Lady at counter: (smiling) Hi, good afternoon! What can I help you with today?
Angry Man: You know u ppl are working very inefficiently? I waited for 2 hours plus! This is a very bad system. How can you let us wait so long? (continues ranting...)
Lady at counter: (still smiling and processing their stuff for them) Haha.. Is it? We are also trying very hard to clear the queue..
Angry Man: (cuts in) This is terrible. I cannot believe how bad this is... You should really do sth to make a change... (continues ranting...)
Lady at counter: (still smiling.. I seriously admire her) We know, we are also trying to clear the queue. All of us haven't had lunch yet. We look at the queue we also din dare to leave the counter. You can feedback to our staff downstairs at the counter regarding this...
Man: (continues blaming the poor lady)
I ended up shaking my head and leaving the counter before he was done venting his anger. Seriously, what gives these ppl the right to vent their anger on the poor lady who cannot do anything much to help the situation? It's juz very unfair. N as usual, I've no idea y, that guy was not the one who needs to get stuffs setttled. It was his gf who needs to get things done. So he could actually leave if he wants to? Wadeva.. I juz dun understand y muz ppl step out and talk for other ppl? To say the truth, IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS! I will not want anyone to speak up for me. I have the mind and intelligence to speak for myself. Thank you.
In conclusion, I feel that working in a different environment short-term is kinda cool but not long-term for me, I guess. I cannot take the sitting down for long hours. My back and body ached like crazy end of these 2 days. But lucky for us, despite all those annoying customers and boring hours, there was a cute guy there for us to see. Haha! Eye-candy! Lol.. Ok, (trying not to be despo...) Haha... But he looks cute and interesting la. Would be good to have him as a fren and find out more abt him but dun dare to talk to him... *shy* LOL.
Ewww... I'm disgusted with myself. Haha.. But I guess this is what happens when you are wayyyyy too bored. :p
Anyway, haix.. shld have taken the chance to talk to him when we were alone in the lift. Too bad la. Parkway so far.. I guess I won't see him again le ba. Unless I go back there.. Hee... Dunno if he's part-timer or full-timer.. Hmmm... Wadeva la!

Wondering is it my nerves all juz desperate to talk, I became very persistent to speak to the girls sitting behind me. Probably because I was the only one occupying the seats in the first row then. Haha.. Until now, they can never forget the first day they met me and their first impression of me. LOL. After the briefing, we went to the classrooms for registration class by class and we got to know each other better. I was kinda glad that my first class (T1B3) has the most number of girls. Being imprinted the fact that FSV has more guys than girls, I was a lil afraid since I've been in a all-girls sch for the past 10 yrs. It just needs some getting used to. Amazingly, I did not have such problems. Haha.. In fact, no one knew i was from an all-girls sch until I told them. Haha...
So after the registration, one of the lecturers, Heng Han, came in to talk to us. In fact, he more like scaring us than toking to us. Ended up our Advisor then, Douglas, had to stop him from continuing further. Haha... But we had a great chat with them. So nice that we chatted for very long, so long that we all decided not to go for the cca showcase. Haha... I think T1B3 has the most number of ppl without cca for the next 3 yrs. LOL.
After everything, the girls exchanged phone numbers and agreed to meet up on the first day of sch at the bus-stop. Then we all split up and that is how I started my poly education in NP.
Haha.. Indeed it really feels like just not too long ago. I could still visualize the exact happenings on that day. But how time flies, 3 yrs had juz gone by and all is left are the memories lodged deep in our hearts and minds. Some happier ones are definitely there very obviously but I'm sure the less happier ones are also there but somewhere deeper inside. Nevertheless, they are still part of my experience in the past 3 yrs and I'm very happy I got them. Be it a happy or a sad one. I will miss everyone! When and how many more times in the future can we still meet up with everyone and have fun juz like what we had?
So today was the graduation (like finally). Haha..
The day started with me waking up to prepare and all. then finally Dad and Mum with me drove down to NP bringing my gown and myself wearing a pair of nice-looking but uncomfortable heels. On the car, ppl were like calling and sms-ing to see where I am. Apparently, I was kinda late la. Haha.. But luckily, after leaving mum n dad on their own and walking at the fastest speed I can with my gown and all, I made it juz on time to catch my breath and chatted a lil with the ppl there. Not bothering abt the briefing, we were suddenly told to put on our gowns and queue up to get ready to enter the convention centre.
As I was entering the convention centre, my phone rang so I was talking on the phone as I entered. Haha.. After a while, I put down the phone and realized that the camera was on us when we entered. Which means me talking on the phone was captured on tape. LOL. N everyone saw it. Haha! So embarrassing. A bit like disrespect for the ceremony la. But I had no choice la. I tried to put down the phone but the other party continued talking. Haha... Not my fault la. :P
So we all settled down, after gg to toilet and all. Then we were told to rise for the congregation, then have to sing national anthem (like -_-'''). Very long never sing liao a bit cannot remember. Haha. I think they know or it's juz by default but they played the typical National song video then got the lyrics there. Haha.. Thanks alot ar.. Really forgot how to sing liao. So following that is the speech and all then finally started the presentation. First it's FSV then followed by Mass Comm then the award winners. I was one of the award winners so waited till the last. After a very very long time, it was our turn. I went up stage to collect the award, walking very wobbly the whole while. Then went to collect the cert and other stuffs before returning to my seat. I was always very afraid when I come down from the steps because it is very unstable. The chairs are the foldable ones so very not steady that kind lo. Scary~~
After the whole ceremony ended, with the valedictorian speech and all, I made a run for the toilet. Because so heng, it was the time of the month for me so I was feeling really uncomfortable since halfway through the ceremony. Finally, cannot tahan anymore so have to rush to the toilet. After that, I went to find mum and dad and got the camera then began all the photo-taking n stuffs... Saw Ryan! Haha.. So happy, coz very long din see him le then miss him alot. So good he come back for the ceremony. Took pics with him, mum n dad, other ppl.. Then mum n dad left to walk walk and I continued taking pics and stuffs. Finally, after my feet started to hurt like crazy and I felt that mum n dad were waiting for way too long, I took my leave. First dragging my feet to return the gown then drag somemore to go meet mum n dad. When finally on the car, I immediately changed to slippers. Haha.. Felt like heaven for my feet. Was talking happily to mum n dad as we drove home. :D
Finally got home, had a bath, used computer to upload photos and do random stuffs then finally left home again to meet the rest for sushi buffet dinner. Haha... It was a bad idea.
We had the sushi dinner at raffles place's uob centre. It was sakae again. Despite myself being so disappointed in sakae, amazingly still got alot of ppl like to go there. But then again, I was disappointed as usual. The sushi was not fresh. The sashimi was even worst, me and calvin had to puke it out. All-in-all, not nice and expensive. Haix..
After dinner, we decided to go to Timbre. So it's me, xq, dx and z hu went in the end. One piece of advice: DO NOT drink beer after having a sushi buffet. It is not a very good idea. Well, I tried it and I felt very uncomfortable after. But we had fun chilling there and juz relaxing for a while. :D
A drink and a few sips of beer later, we decided to make a move so we can still catch the last train. While walking to city hall mrt, xq and z were walking very slowly because of their shoes and hurting feet. Thank god I went home first to change. Haha!
Ended up calvin took out his tripod and camera while waiting, wanting to shoot the night scene from the middle of padang. Haha... So the rest left and I stayed behind until my brother told me he's reaching then I left calvin there alone. Sorry abt that.. Later on he said he finished shooting n was on his way home le.
In conclusion, it was a very fun, happy and eventful day. This is indeed a day to be marked in my life calender. :D
