Was browsing FB earlier on and chanced upon a post by TPalumni.. It says:
Life In TP: - Agonizing over your wardrobe in Year 1... then not caring what you wear in Year 3. - Those who come the latest... tend to stay the nearest. - Going to the Bookshop to buy sweets, chocolates and other snacks... rather than books. - When going home, everyone else's bus comes *twice* before yours arrives. - Thinking nobody else will bother to walk to Sugarloaf... then walking into a full house.
Well, a lot of my friends thought that after my Os, I would go to a JC instead of a poly. But well, I must say, I have never regretted choosing TP... Of course it's the people which made the difference!
But well, 天下没有不散的筵席.. 2 of them have went overseas for their studies,
and another 2 is going back pretty soon,
and another 2 should be embarking on their overseas journey soon too!
I wonder how would Life be without all these friends.. "/
Guess I'll be missing the good old days..

苦恼
In this reality world, I guess everyone is doing everything to protect their self interest. No doubt, including me.. Sometimes people just want to benefit from things and not willing to contribute. Do they deserve a share of things the others have worked for? But maybe the time wasn't right? I don't know.. Maybe someone could advise me. :/

现实的reindeers
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer : Lyrics
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
Don't you find them very realistic? Last time when he wasn't popular, they all laughed at him.. Now that Santa chose him as his sleigh, THEY ALL LOVED HIM! Who thought of such a song ah? Teach kids to be realistic only!

(Y) for Wicked!
Well, another post to end off my day! A happy one!
Despite some unhappy experiences working in SISTIC, there are still many pleasant ones!
For example, we get to have complimentary tickets to shows.. and the first one I went was...
WICKED!
Haha! Yea! Was very happy and excited the day before I went for the musical! I have never been to a musical before, and on top of that, it was for FREEEEEEE! =D
Well, went with Sharon, Amanda, and Fabian.. And erm.. and some other SISTIC colleagues, but well, they aren't really the main point =X
And oh! We were one of the first few people who get to watch Wicked first in Singapore!!
It was the last night of their rehearsal, and sort of a preview for the show..
Nevertheless, I feel that it was as good as an official one!
It was a very nice show! Nice vocals, nice story line, nice act, and nice and impressive stage and props!
Really, it's worth the watch!
If the tickets aren't that expensive, I would definitely watch it again!
And oh, I've checked..
The seats which we got were Cat 3 tickets, each at $165! =S
AHHHH I just wish that I could get to watch it again! =D
(Y) for Wicked!
SISTIC
Well, worked in SISTIC for 2 weeks!
Hmmm.. I would say I'm getting a little hang out of it?
Like answering calls and basic things like that..
Well, with such job scope, of course, I'll get to answer calls from many types of customers.
Some are very nice!
Some are very difficult to understand (especially Indians.. It's just their slang...)
Some are understanding
Some are just rude
Some are just impatient
and..
Some are just.. GREEDY
Yes, some people are just simply greedy.
A couple of days ago,
a customer, who was relocated to better seats, called back to ask me where his seats were, complaining that our website is very lousy, and he has to go through much hassle in order to view where his seats were. Well, that I could agree with him..
BUT, during the relocation, he was relocated and upgraded to better seats.. In fact, it was 2 rows in front of his original seats.. But his greed was just insatiable.. -.-
He asked me if he could get better seats, and I told him that they already are better seats as compared to the original seats.. FREE UPGRADE YOU KNOW! But this guy just wanted seats which were more in front.. I mean.. SINCE YOU WANT NEARER SEATS, WHY DON'T YOU BUY THOSE MORE EXPENSIVE TICKETS IN THE FIRST PLACE!?!?!?
Then he continued, what makes you think that I'll accept those seats you have reallocated? What if I prefer my original seats, what can you do? Come on mister.. IF YOU WANT YOUR ORIGINAL SEATS, GO AHEAD! Like I care.. JUST GO SIT WITH THOSE LIGHTING AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH THEM..
I mean.. How greedy can you get??? You are already getting seats which people have to pay more and yet you are still trying to make peoples' lives difficult?
Anyway, enough of customers..
Hmmm.. I just got a feeling that I'm not very welcomed by some of my colleagues..
Is it because I've rejected many calls accidentally?
Oh yes, I felt guilty... And there's an announcement saying that there's is an increase in the number of abandoned calls.. IS IT BECAUSE OF ME? Oh well.. I don't know if it's arrow-ing at me, but I'm pretty sure that I've contributed much of them! HAHA! I abandoned like 4 calls on my first day! LOL! But I was kinda being thrown there and everyone was so busy to help me! Felt very helpless you know!
But anyway.. probably it's because of this.. people 'noticed' me? Haha.. of course in a bad way -.-
Initially, I thought.. yea.. I thought.. that going to the toilet doesn't require any permission granted.. Oh well, at least for the first few days, I've noticed that no one asked for permission to go to the toilet.. But on my 4th day of work.. When Sharon and I came back from toilet, we were FAMOUS can.. The whole call centre knew that we went to the toilet.. and they said that we took a long time! Well.. I guess the maximum we took was 5 min? We walked there, took turns to go toilet, and walked back.. HOW LONG CAN IT BE!?!? But anyway.. point taken.. ask for permission.. just like a secondary school kid. -.-
Anyway.. something which I want to highlight, and actually, the purpose of writing this post starts here..
'Shouldn't seniors be more friendly towards newbies to make them like their new environment so that they would continue to stay on?'
I guess.. towards this little, and erm.. short (I know I'm bad) lady.. the answer is no..
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
That day, when Sharon and I were exiting the toilet place after we ended our shift, she was coming in opposite direction..
The door, being transparent, allowed us to see each other from a distance away. Well, despite seeing us, she gave a 不削 look, as if she don't know us and ignored us..
Don't you think it's very rude? I wanted to say Bye to her, but I guess it was redundant..
Well, not sure why she had this attitude? Did I stepped onto her toes? I merely abandoned a few calls? Haha! Even if I did something wrong at work, shouldn't you, at least, acknowledge our presence? Thought she was a nice person, but guess I was wrong? Well, prove me wrong.
But okay, there's many nice people as well.. That includes my 1st buddy, Insiya. A middle aged lady, very motherly and helpful.. And she has thought me many things! Sistic is a better place because of you! =)
And oh! There's this CSO.. She was a bit unfriendly in the first place, towards Insiya.. Insiya was asking her a question and she gave a 'shouldn't you already know the answer for this question' tone of answer to Insiya.. And I felt she was rude.. But during the next few days, I realised she's actually a helpful person, hmmm.. perhaps.. only on non-moody days.. But nevertheless, your marks are higher now!
And yea, I just hope that work will get better, and that unfriendly little lady will be more respectful!

New found love!
Well, what's new in Life?
I guess.. it would be working at another new environment, SISTIC call centre..
Hmmm.. yea as the name suggests, I'm working in a call centre answering calls...
What I like is that I can work with friends and of course, give flexible schedules which suits the needs of a very busy person.. like... ME! =D
Oh well, side track a little.. I really am busy! Haha! Realised I got things on every day! And oh, I'm going to learn guitar!!! Got my new found love! =D
Gonna start lessons from this Wednesday on! =D
Hopefully I'll be able to master it fast! =S
Okay! Back on track, I wanted to blog about work actually.. But I guess I shouldn't mix happy and a tinge of unhappy stuff together! So.. refer to the next post! HAHA! =D
唯爱
Before I start updating things in Life, I shall share this song!
Super nice song from a super nice show, 画皮！
