LOL
i had planned to blog when i finally had confirmation that i had my cust service job...but somehow along the way, there were many screw-ups.
ended up giving up the job and was looking for new ones with the help of 2 recruit agencies and everything was back on track when BAM! they called me on 19/12 and said they needed me to work the next day.
i guess i ought to elaborate more about my job right?
let me see...i am a cust service officer for sis technologies. basically dopod cust come in to the service center to get their PDA phones fixed and to collect their repaired phones.
and since these people can afford PDA phones, 9 out of 10 cust are rich businessmen who travels a LOT and are busy busy busy.
so they complain about not being able to be without their phones for more than a day and insist for loan phones or to get their phones fixed immediately that kind of stuff. and usually they are not polite about it.
others complain that they spend over a thousand bucks for a phone that spoils within a week and demand a replacement phone.
or others come in just wanting to vent their anger on me.
poor me.
others can get really really ridiculous like this one.
he came in to collect his phone which had a faulty camera fixed. *note: his phone is already FIXED.
him:so by the way, why does your phone not have chinese software???
me: yes sir, we have a chinese support program which is CE-star.
him: yes, i know. but that's not what i want. CE-star uses traditional chinese but i often travel to china for business and they use simplified chinese. do you know that i have to go to china and pay people 80 bucks just to fix the chinese os? and i have to remove it before i can get my phone fixed??? i want a CHINESE os!!!(operating system).
[so i went into the tech room and asked the technicians.]
me: okay sir, i've made an enquiry for you. my technicians said that we do not have the software to the chinese os and --
him: no, you dont get it! OKAY. answer this question. dopod is a from taiwan right?
me: yes sir
him: so why do your not have a chinese os? if i buy the phone from taiwan, the phones come with the chinese windows os! but i know that if i buy the phone from overseas, my waranty would be void here!
[so i went to ask the technicians again]
me: sorry sir. you see, we get the whole package from dopod and it is english variant. and thus, we do not have the software that-
him: you do not understand what i'm trying to say!
him:[and he tries to re-explain everything from scratch like i'm an IT-idiot.]
[so i was about to go into the tech room again when one of the superior came out.]
superior: are you the one who needs help?
me: huh? yeah yeah...
so he went to talk to the cust for me and PHEW!!!
omg. that cust took more than an hour of my life la!
and ronaldo just scored while i was typing this entry. :)
yayness! prom updates!
lol. it was a wonderful night. =)
3 December 2006 1 am: panicking over what to bring tomorrow, or rather, today as i'll be going my makeup at madeline's place and will be staying over with astatine at pan pacific hotel. =)
10am: wakey!
1.45pm: and the journey begins! left minnie and pingu in mum's care and off i go to get ready for prom! haha...
2.15: met madeline and we both agreed that we were feeling very nervous and it felt just like the first day of the A level paper but this time round, it was a good sort of nervousness.
headed out to the salon to get our hair done and it took a LONG while. haha...cause there were customers before us and by the time we returned to madeline's house, it was almost 5pm already. but at least our hair looked nice! i loved madeline's hair but she said she preferred mine. LOL.
so we quickly packed her bag (see la, naughty girl!) and changed into our dresses. mad's mum helped me with the makeup and we were done at 6.15pm! and mad's dad ZOOMED us to swissotel. haha...we would not have made it in time if not for her parents.
<3 thank you thank you thank you auntie! <3
<3 thank you thank you thank you uncle! <3
and i was complaining the whole time at the lobby because i was carrying my HUGE bags as we were unable to make it to pan to put down our stuff.
everyone was snapping pictures at the lobby and OHMYGOSH!!! everyone looked so PRETTY!!! i cant recognise them at all!!! and even the guys dressed up too!!!
yay! everyone looked so glam and nice! =)
took pictures with mrs ong and she was so happy to see us all dolled up. haha...anyone know how to get the pictures from her???
bala and shang long were MIA. bala returned to india to attend his cousin's wedding but shang long just disappeared.
and so we made our way to the ballroom. while queuing, everyone kept snapping pictures after pictures after pictures and we were constantly reminded by the student council to head into the ballroom.
after a gazillion years, we finally made it inside with a goodie bag and my ticket stub removed for lucky draw!
we were seated at table 52, right in front of the stage and beside the VIPs. lol. it pays to buy your tickets early. =)
the girls sat together while the guys sat at the table digonally behind us. the dinner began and the food was pretty nice. although the only reason why we sat down to eat our meals was because we did not want to miss the lucky draws. LOL.
in the end, 5 people from our class won the lucky draw! lol. so lucky huh~
oh yeah, before i forget, ching how rebonded his hair! cool! i didnt knew boys' hair can be dyed! and samuel was nominated for best hair do! and i heard from the guys that samuel did his hair on friday and slept on it lo~
and taking pictures with jason and jingxin was extremely difficult. because the camera could only capture one of our heads only. come on lo! i was wearing high heels already leh! and then they had to squat. only yong bing is the good boy because he squatted til he was shorter than me.
and the boys were so mean to leave freako alone at the table while they went else where. quote from ching how: oh, we left him there too look after our belongings.
so evil lar!
but i guess i wasnt very nice too. cause i took individual shots with all the guys except freako. *oopsie
prom queen was pretty though i didn know who she is. i didn even knew some of them existed lo!
shaun chua was being very shaun chua. the poop on the cake was when he stripped. sigh. i really do not want to see your body no matter how toned up it is. sorry but no thanks. and people dodged when he threw his shirt into the audience. but okay lar, at least he was being very sporting.
haha...i'll upload my pics soon and will let you guys know...so wait a little longer okay?
i think that the best time i had was the post-prom time spent with the class. =)
after the prom, mad me weina jas yuhui clemmie took a cab back to the hotel while the rest walked there.
we played the 'superman' at the lift (remember my boyfriend is type B?) but i didn really join them due to my fear of heights.
the boys got a shock when i told them that i even get scared when i take the overhead bridge alone. hee. i'm scared of falling backwards when i take the stairs and i have a fear of heights. so i kept holding on to the handrail on the way up to the 29th floor.
after that, we went to esplanade to have supper at 3am. lol. the road was empty and the underpass was closed so we walked on the roads. haha...eventually we reached there and everyone sat at a long table and chatted while we ate.
we were discussing how much everyone spent at the prom and i think i spent quite a lot after all. Boo. shall not count anymore since i consider some of the things i bought are long term investments. *winks*
and after that, we walked back to the hotel again.
back at the hotel, after we finished washing up (oh, the toilet was really pretty), we went over the boys' room since the rooms were connected to play cards.
we played ostra-pig *is it spelt like this?? anyway, samuel and i were the only non-pigs!!! lol. so unlikely huh? we both didn even dare to talk to each other.
and the class said they enjoyed the short time of peace when i didnt talk. Grr.
and lousy yong tat was the level 5 pig!! oink oink! and nobody could think up of a good punishment for him. he got away lucky~
poor jingxin became level 4 pig because he was sabo-ed! see la? too gullible already.
come to think of it, honestly hor, i wasnt really very slow lo! cause i didnt even become a pig at all leh! tsk tsk*
jason slept the night away because he ran the 42.195km marathon that morning. yuhui slept a bit too since she had to walk on monday. the rest of us played bridge and before we knew it, it was morning!!! haha...
somehow, ching how (hey, it ryhmes!) told us that samuel has six packs and we all didn believe it. he also said that samuel was not shy about it among the guys and now, he's trying to hide it.
LOL. then i turned over to yongtat and said that he could change his forefeit to revealing sam's six pack for us and jasmine immediately armed herself with her camera.
and giant jason was still asleep then so the guys did not have enough strength to overpower sam. lousy yb hiding in the corner again.
so i tried to sow discord between jason and samuel by saying that sam thought that constance was very pretty at the prom. haha...the guys were like, omg! liwen you're getting yourself into trouble by saying that.
it was then i realised that everyone in class FEARED jason.
then samuel became afraid and tried to get jason back to sleep again.
by then, it was about 8am and everyone decided to have breakfast.
so me mad ilona hupkee elaine yongtat yinghui yongbin yuanshan chinghow jingxin went to suntec to have breakfast.
mad left first because her dad was fetching her home.
when we got back, me ilo and jason (oh, the giant's FINALLY AWAKE) played snap.
and apparently, i was the slowest and jason was having a great time laughing at me and he kept slapping my back.
in jason terms it was a pat on the back. in liwen's terms it was a PUNCH on the bag.
so i didnt want to lose and pulled in hupkee and yongtat in. for the first few rounds i didn lose, but as the game progressed, everyone got the hang of it and i started to lose......EVERY ROUND.
and the final result, liwen lost 6 out of 7 games.
BOO!!! and the guys were so excited that i was losing and everyone came over to see me lose the last game. okay la. i am slow. happy now?
GROWLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
everyone played bridge again while i napped for 1 hour. chinghow yuanshan and jingxin left early. jingxin left for work and my oh my! he really looked like a working man in his working clothes! skinny skinny somemore. lol. very cool.
the rest of us went to BK for lunch and i had a good time eating other people's food.
at the end of the day, i am afraid of jason. and jingxin scores 10/10, yongtat 5/10, yinhui 0.1/10 and yong bing -10/10 for their nice factor.
and i really love astatine!!! haha...booking the hotel room is a better choice than a chalet and i am glad the whole class bonded so well. and it was nice seeing the whole class coming together as a whole, be it poking fun at me or walking to supper together in the middle of the night or yamsei-ing at the table after the prom.
i missss you guys already!!! happy holidays everyone and i hope to see you soon!
thank you for lasting through this entry.
