follow up on the bubbletea incident

follow up on the bubbletea incident


the previous entry was actually copied and paste from a forum.

i've posted my story there first.

alot of people read and quite a number of them replied, but one participant has definitely stunned me.

cus he actually "stood up" for me!! here's what he has posted on my thread:

Hehe! Yeah, we were out looking for Dior's SO cousin mah. So quite a few gathered there. We were just being a little mischievous...

First, we 'chased the customers away. Telling them what happened to stonez and leading them away then next we taunted the stall holder quite a bit.

Me and my friends:
"Oei, auntie. Arboh, you make the drinks lah but hor we stir it with our own fingers. Your finger maciam very dirty leh. Don't worry we will still pay you, we dun want to lao sai nia"

maciam = seems
Lao sai = diarrhea

Me and my friends:
"Oei, mai lah... We should teach them mah. Use fingers alone not er xin enough, next time dig your nose, scratch your backside or wherever you wanna scratch first then stick your finger in the drinks mah. Sekali, taste better leh?"

"Wah lau, your finger nail too clean liao leh, yesterday your finger got so clean not boh har?"

er xin = disgusting
Sekali = Who knows

My Godsisters:
"Oei, xiao lian. We heard you very steady yesterday leh, why today so hum? See our ang kong you scared siboh? Then why you bully guai kia? No need scared lah, lim bu intro you go put ang kong also ai mai? We come to see who is the ah lian nia. Wah, your mother nv tell you meh? When ppl are talking to you, you should look at them mah."

hum = afraid
ang kong = tattoos

Can't remember everything we said liao but they kept very quiet all the time. We got bored after a while so we left and went searching for Dior's SO cousin soon after.


although i'm secretly very SONG when i read abt it, this is not to be encouraged okies?? unless u have a strong backing of angkongs lahhh..

i've also decided to wrap the whole incident up by writing to the MOH, CASE, Newpapers and/or TheStraitsTimes, depending on how free i am after my temp job. i can't just let ppl/strangers to stand up for me while i didn't do anything at all. Although i doubt the(the authorities) will take any actions, but heeeee, at least i've tried.

Got bullied when i'm a customer..

Got bullied when i'm a customer..


god must have decided that i should lead a loserly life..

i got bullied today. not by my customer, but when i'm a customer.

today, i shall do some publicity for some bubbletea shop at orchard.

i was shouted at the auntie who sells $1.90 bubble tea at orchard emerald (near urbanwarehouse or burgerking)..
she shouted (and ganged up with her ah lian/xiao meimei assistant) and almost threw the metal cup on her hand at me.

wat did i do?

the machine didn't seal my cup properly (there's a big hole) and the person spilled it when she was shaking the cup (from the beginning to the end, i did not touch anything at all but i handed my money jus before she shook the cup)..

so, they are gonna "remake" one for me. which, they did.. but they used back the remaining juice in the cup, which was already in contact with the hand (while shaking) and they didnt wear gloves.. so i asked her.."erm, are u going to give me this cup? i think it's dirtied.." - and that's the fact right?

and she just threw her temper at me?!! :(
"of cos the hand will get in contact with the water lah.. we need to shake.. " and she continued.. " u want we can make a new one for u lorhhh, u don't need to use that kinda of tone to tell me.." she said loudly and angrily... with her agressive gestures..

ok, for those who might have patronised the stall before, u know it's in the public...
so, i got shouted at in the public... and i was their customer.. (though it's onli 1.90 i know..)

u tell me, how can i not get defensive??

i told her it's hygenie matters.. and asked her wat tone did i use?

i was trying to tell her that the hand touched the water already cos she might not know.. but apparently, she knew and purposely wanna saved her syrup water? and later, i got told off by her xiaomeimei assistant.

xiaomeimei:"if u are not happy, we can do a refund" (at first i thought she was trying to help out.. but nahhh.. it's a 2 against 1 situation)

the next thing, the auntie slammed the metal thing and it was so loud that my fren on the phone can hear it..

me:"then refund me." (by this time, i have no mood to drink that cleaned/dirtied drinks)

then that xiaomeimei sacrastically said:"we wouldn't want u as a customer oso.. so unreasonable.."

me:"..........."

who is being agressive here?

i really don't know what to say.. then i can only tell them.. "u all have more ppl.. i dun wanna waste my energy liao.." my mind was thinking "it's useless to talk to u bunch of airheads.. idiots."

and left.. (very loserly, but wat can i do? plus my break is ending soon)

even though i got back that $1.90... but i think i'm still at the losing end.

being shouted at even though i'm a customer and they are obviously at fault.

wat a joke of the day.

1st day at urbanwh and cute young things


know wat? i almost lost $135.50 today cus i forgot to ask the customer to sign for her visa receipt. argh.

luckily that's the worst thing that had happened to me.. i managed to get the customer back through paging on the building's PA system.

how heng.... and how embarrassing...

i'm glad that i only need to work for another 2 weeks.. working sux. but when i think of the little $$ that will add to my shopping funds, i learnt to succumb my pain, and bitten my lips hard. X(

it'll be over soon!! and i shd try to pester my OG urbanwh supervisor for a testimonial before i leave. but me skin no thick enough man. how to ask???? :p

on the much BRIGHTER side, i've gotten to know 2 new friends. DN and JK(i dont remember if JK is really JK, but it doesnt matter anyway..)

haha.. anyway, both DN and JK are really cute!! especially DN!! heeeheee.. so cute that i can drool at the sight of him.. oh no.. deardear won't be pleased..

ahem* i must remember to maintain my one cool babe image (viomits). so much so that i stained my white teeshirt with iced milo when i saw him at the 2nd break. thanksalot. faints._____

btw, they are like 2 or 3 years younger than me.. and my excitement is purely due to my new-found eyecandies (on my side of cos).. which, in turn, brought some kinda work motivation for me.....at least in the next 2 weeks u knowwww..

heeeheee..

my cute young things.

don't i sound like an evil witch?

ps: will remove this when cute young things got hold of my blog addy. :P

Goodbye V*sa..

Goodbye V*sa..


I seem to have endless things to do during last week. After my presentation, the next thing in mind is to brainstorm for things to buy for my colleagues. I have so many ideas at first, but most are not gonna be feasible as i have two important factors to consider. Time and Budget.

Ideas come and go very fast. When I've finally settled for PLAN A, which is to do DIY pooh&frens magnets and buy tidbits for them, I doubted my handicrafts skills and brewed a backup plan in case i failed. i'm glad that i've xian1 jian4 zhi1 ming2 (foresight) cos my piglets turn out to have no noses, tiggers with no feets, a pooh with no eyes.. etc.

sighs.

the carcass:


they are supposed to look like this.

suitable for age 5 and above my foot. pui.

Lucky I have Plan B to the rescue. Some cute pens and meiji chocs to save the day.

those in pink boxes each contains a lil bear and some marble chocs. after rummaging the shelves at OG orchard until they close shop, I have managed to find 2 bears which represent 18/6 and another 2 which represent 17/6. 17/6 is my last day at visa. :) bo bian, i dun remmeber their birthdays.

to be fair to the colleagues at my neighbour dept, i wrapped the chocs up and let the colleagues choose their own pressies.


this is the goodbye card.

but i onli made 2 of such cards. the rest are handwritten as it's almost 3 when i was doing them!! *yawns*
the cards are attached to the pens, which are for my immediate colleagues.

On my last day, ppl from my dept and neighbour dept treated me to Victor's at MS center stage for lunch. food was so-so. the meat is good, the vege's not (too hard for my teeth) and the staffs there were nice in the beginning, but they are quite screwed up when it comes to serving food. (Very blur!! they mistook the apple gelato icecream with vanilla??!) Thank you all for the treat. Sorry that i could not deliver a farewell speech for u all though. no mushy stuff.

i've always thought the last day in v*sa will be equivalent to the last day of sch exams. but i wasn't all thrilled and happy on friday. I was quite sad. tears fell down when i was walking along the citylink towards the mrt station. i noe i'll miss the lot at owe-$-pay-$ room even though i seldom took part in their tok cok session larr.

the pics i've smuggled out:

the owe-$-pay=$ room.


my lovely desk.


tools for breakfast in the morning.


and high tea in the afternoon.


goodbye v*sa..

where has my time gone?

where has my brains time gone?



It must be such a busy week that i've no time to update my blog.. and I must be so mentally tired that i don't remember what i'm busy in this whole week...

where has all my time gone?

argh.. this will always happen when i do not have enuff sleep and do not have to use my brains during working hours. i'll transform a walking zombie who thinks/speaks incoherently and would rather shut up to avoid embarrassment. moody.

i wantneed more sleep!!

after racking my brains, i've found some fragments of memories from last week:

1. sunday 12 june: suz&cz&me made a new friend from malaysia, celine, during our weekly badminton game. her courage is applaudable. but i dun remember where i've placed her email addy.. oh no....

2. monday 13 june: went to watch hitchhikers at MS (marina sq) with deardear. very disappointing. some parts are quite lame. an overrated movie. don't watch pls. ////oh yah, deardear told me he don't need to go back for reservist tomorrow. the reason: he has mistaken the ns annual summary as a notification/activation letter. kns. but i'm glad. :p

3. tuesday 14 june: went for some light shopping with hua and bao. i placed an order on a pair of handpainted mary janes at minou (FEP). it costs 25 bucks only! i was very pleased until i read someone bought it at 22bucks off the shelves. :( nvm, my design is nicer. humph.

4. wednesday 15 june: went back home execute PLAN A operation. but failed terribly. i attempted to make some DIY poohbears&frens magnets. followed the instructions but argh. must be my tired brains. why did i use the whole pkt of powder? stupid. even my bro said i'm. i can go bang the walls already.

5. thursday 16 june: nvm if PLAN A failed. i have a back up. yeah. went to hunt for the materials for PLAN B after work. slept at 3 that night.

6. friday 17 june: brought the products of PLAN B to work. Ate, embarrassed, distributed the products, packed up and bye.

7. saturday 18 june: went out for the whole day. shiok but tired. has been a fulfilling day but... i'm tired.

Point 4/5/6/7 will be explained when i'm feeling less tired.

Presentation = my Nightmare

Presentation = my Nightmare


Presentations have been my worst nightmares ever since I was a child.

i'm dead meat tmr.

face the fear!!!! go fight it!! i told myself..

it's not easy. but i dun wanna look helpless..

the only thing i can do now is to rehearse the speech again and again until it becomes a bit more presentable. And at the end of it, the whole presentation will become so fake and insincere.

yikes. but i dun think i have a choice.

hours of non-stopping rehearsals now for a 15-min act tmr...

i hope i'll be a good actress at the very least..

wish me luck..

PS: before I go, I must thank Christine, Suzanna, Yewwen and deardear for helping me in the presentation.
And not forgeting to thank those who have given me encouragements when i sounded worried and depressed over it. :)

And i'll also like to say sorry to those that I've been rude to because you must choose to irritate the hell outta me when u noe that i'm busy. *bish*

:(

too many things to say.. to little time to write.

I've a disgusting presentation coming on this friday.. and halfway through the preparations, i lost directions and got scared.

how??? i need rehearsals... but everything is still not done yet.

howhow?? how to speak fluently and not stammer in front of a panel of troublemakers senior managers?

howhowhow?? i'm feeling damn scared now...

so, here's the joke of the day:

"Studies show that fear of public speaking ranks higher than the fear of dying. I guess this means that most people at a funeral would rather be in the coffin than delivering the eulogy". Jerry Seinfeld
