action speaks louder than words. how cliche yet so true. in my office, it's really those that talk the most that are less efficient. but of course there are exceptions to everything.
anyway i guess if you want to prove your worth, prove that you can do it, prove that the whole world out there is so damn wrong about you, don't just talk. nor blog. DO IT. so wad if you blog about it. so wad if you let them know how not-so-happy you are about them. would it do anything? would it change their mindset now? if you want to let them know. prove it with wad you can achieve first. then blog about it. or talk about it. no point in ranting and raving when there's no physical evidence there.
and if you don't know anything, just ask. it's not like i'm going to eat you up or wad. wad's wrong with asking. don't know then ask wad. and maybe you should try staying at home to study. it really helps in concentration. and of course, not be distracted by your hp. maybe you should put it one side for about an hour or more. of course more is preferable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i went to the gym the other day wearing mj's p.e shirt. i was hoping not to run into any mj people. but i did. haha, kinda embarassing really when they spot me in the whole damn attire. anyway they say i still look like one of them =)
and i caught a chill in the gym the other day. was sneezing all the way.
tmr... meeting my primary school friend. haha, i haven't seen her since primary 6. ahh.. don't know how is it going to turn out. shall see how.
it's kinda hard to plan stuff or even meet up when our timetables just clash. or it just so happens that something crops up. i just hope.. that you'll be more understanding. it's not like i'm doing it on purpose.. it's just.. kinda hard. certain things i cannot say, certain things i cannot do. i guess it's the way you said it. makes me feel kinda.. not-too-good inside. argh. i hate being stuck in the middle.
just when i thought things were finally back on track, i found out i was wrong. and things started to back track a little.

the other day i was helping this uncle book his lessons at the counter when there was this stupid insect buzzing around.
uncle, " miss ah miss. you see that insect? is ades mosquito lehz. you see you see. is ades."
replying him as i tried my best to move away from the mosquito while the uncle laughed at me, "uncle! why you only tell me? then you tell me but never help me kill the mosquito. i don't want to let it bite me."
uncle, " aiyah it's flying in front of you lehz. later hit wrong hit your face then how?"
me in my heart: kaoz~ next time don't help then don't say can. say le don't kill it.
and after that uncle went to make payment i felt so itchy all over. eew.
comfort driving centre got so many flying stuff lor. housefly lah, mosquito lah.. and ants too!
and anyway my hao peng you has finally updated his blog. haha, help him to advertise a bit. so long never update le. think people don't wanna check his blog liaoz.
anyway i think i'm going to quit work soon. maybe end of june bahx. so my friends. when are we ALL gonna QUIT?!
although i don't know wad i'll be doing everyday. sleeping no doubt. but i know i won't be alone!
haiz. and i'm kinda bored each day after coming home. hmmz. wad to do wad to do?
and i can't go borrow some chinese comics coz the stupid shop was being bought by some other people. and they've moved.

vesak day was a public holiday. so me and amin decided to organise or rather co-organise some class outing which we thought would be fun coz we hadn't seen each other for so long.
well, who would have thought that it turned out to be... not so very nice.
meeting time was at 10a.m in the morning. i left my house at 9 thinking that within an hour i would reach there. in the end i took one hour and 20 minutes to reach. which is so freaking long. why!? argh. then nvm. on the way i recieved so many smses of people saying they'll be late and yada yada. not like i wan't expecting any lah. okay so at 10.20a.m i reached and saw only heng chi leed.
then we waited till lucas came, followed by joan. so 4 of us went to eat breakfast coz there were still people coming. time was 10.43.
in the end weili came after we ordered breakfast, followed by james and hongwei after we had eaten breakfast. so this group of 7 went to sentosa.
fun huh. not forgetting the fact that miss lim meiyin was smsing me at 9 plus in the morning to tell me that she was coming but she was sleeping now. how can you be sleeping when you are smsing me?!
she said give her 5 more minutes. okay so i did.
then 11 plus i called her again, to find out that she was still at home sleeping! argh.
then nvm. at 1 plus we called her at sentosa to find ut that she was still in the house. she had arranged to meet amin who was coming after prayers. okay fine.
but in meeting amin she was late!! late for half an hour. sighz.
gosh. makes me feel that i'm forcing you to come for class outing like that. seem so not reluctant in coming.
well no matter wad, me and low xuan had a fun time. together. even if ALL of you don't come k! big deal.
at sentosa we saw pakkin with his friends. pakkin is joan's track senior in mj. so me and her decided to join them in a game of volleyball since the rest of our class were so uninterested in playing with us. glad we did coz it was fun.
fine you know. i don't think i'll ever organise another outing in a long time.
it's fine if you don't reply me. but if you said you're coming then come! fine if you're late. but this is so freaking late lah. me joan lucas and chi leed waited for like an hour. how do you expect 4 people to go sentosa. play wad sia.
you guys seem so reluctant to come then forget it ya. don't make others arrange le then not show up at all. this just gets me so irritated.
but nvm. now we know, so see how bahx next time.
anyway i was glad that friday was public holiday. didn't feel like working.
hmmz. then on sat i was out to meet chong to pass me some book which i half guessed that he would forget to bring. and he really forgot. then nvm. so we went to v8 at bugis to eat. i choosed that place coz it served bubbletea! and the price there was reasonable enough. but then the side order that we ordered some.. samosa thingy? aiyah whatever it was. was not very nice. and their ketchup was not very nice too. but the rest of the food was okay.
haha, then chong went to pay for the bill. and didn't want any money from me. okie dokie~ thank you! and i saw a guy there that looked like den! except that if it were den he would have smiled and wave. but he really looks like den. only thing was that he's kinda tall as compared to the real den. (sorry!)
but then actually i seldom go bugis and it's the same with him. so it took us quite a while to find v8 coz i forgot which floor it was at and brought us both to the wrong floor. then after eating we went to shop for a ring. yah. coz he wanted to propose to me.
okay lah. i'm sure you know i'm just kidding.
anyway we couldn't find 77th street. chong said he was quite sure there was a 77th street at bugis and i was like are you sure? coz at that point i didn't remember mahx.
so both of us dumb dumbs went to the street directory. and found out that it was on the third story.
then we walked the whole of third story to find out that 77th street was not there!
so i said go bugis street. then nearing the escalator i saw that there was this path thingy leading to THE EDGE. and then i remembered that 77th street was at the edge there! stupid right. but that's how long i haven't been to bugis.
but no nice rings anyway so we went bugis street in the end.
i tell you. the people at bugis street just love knocking into me. they would bang past my shoulders, and trip over my feet and knock into me and several times i had to stop abruptly to avoid knocking into someone. chong said i was the clumsy one. but i'm not! no no no never.
and you know at bugis street i realised it was kinda like being back in thailand. coz while buying the ring i was just trying my luck to see if i could reduce the price of the ring like in thailand. and you know wad? i actually can!! *claps!
yupz! so the price of the ring was reduced. and the ring chong choosed was simple and nice. i think it suits him. and it's black! not like those common silver ones. oh oh. now i say le later everybody start to wear a black ring. eh you all don't copycat hor.
haha, and thanx for the michael owen figurine! i love it lots. i couldn't find any owen figurine earlier on so your present was just the right one! so shir, don't buy me an owen figurine k. anyway thank you! i'll bring it to ntu if i stay in the hostel. it's just nice. hope you like my present too!
now i just realise that tmr i have to go back to work~~ aww. how the weekends past too fast.
sometimes it's so suffocating when people expect too much of you. when things don't go their way they expect YOU to do something about it. but as i said, i'm only but one tricia teo. i can put up with your tantrums, your unhappiness, your scoldings your everything and even you, the person itself. but it doesn't mean i can put up with it forever.
and even more, i don't like it when people start feeling unhappy with me when it's not even my fault in the first place. okay fine with that anyway. i can bear with it and tell myself that so wad? i'm being nice to you and you think it's more fault. so i'll start smiling and being nice and soon the person who is unhappy will feel guilty coz i'm still so nice while he/she is still feeling so petty and sore towards me. HA HA HA. then it is at this point of time that they'll start being happy again and i know I WIN. hmphz.
i'm no pushover!
aiyah but say only. sometimes it's just so hard.
tricia has blogged. see ya~

i'm always thinking why can't customers put themselves in our shoes sometimes and think about how tiring it is for us to have to "entertain" them in their tantrums and whatever nonsense that they bring to us.
i hate people being so damn rude to me. it's okay if you don't talk to me or keep conversation to the minimal level. but you so bloody not be rude to me lah. not when i've not done anything to offend you.
i was in the office answering phonecalls when my colleague asked me out to takeover the private queue at a certain counter 9. (don't ask me why is it a private queue. go learn driving and you'll know anyway.)
meanwhile i was already on the phone with this... superduperirritatinglylongwinded customer who had no intention of putting down the phone AT ALL. not without me answering ALL her queries first. she was on the phone with me for 7 - 8 minutes.
during which another colleague came in to ask me to takeover the same counter.
yes i know. but i can't very well put down the phone and walk out can i?
so by the time i was done and went out, the queue was like kinda long.
but why can't someone like takeover the queue first before i came out. i know first shift ends at 4. so first shift people must have gone back at 4. and i went out at 4.30. which means no one was at the counter for 30 minutes.
then when i went out, the first customer was okay. but the second customer suck.
she's such a bitch. she wanted to book her final theory and was rude and curt to me.
she told me to speed things up unkindly. and the worse thing was that when i came out, the schedule for booking the test dates was not updated! stupid idiot bitch threw her tantrum about. and said, " the schedule's not even updated?! i've been waiting here for so long. do you mind speeding things up." well hello. so was everybody lah. get a life man. it's only ftt. not happy don't queue lah. you're not the only one who has to take it. she totally spoilt my day.
and not only i hate people who are so rude to me. i hate people to be so rude to me when it's not even my fault. fine if it's a mistake i made. but it sure as hell isn't.
anyway the only comfort was that i saw zir on a tv mobile advert on the way home. was kinda shock and surprise, but was very happy for him. i knew he was meant for bigger things. studying was never his forte anyway. and pk suits him totally. although initially i was kinda worried that he might fall or something, but i realised that even if he did fall he'll just keep trying and trying. but i just wish he'd stop smoking though.
and he never wants to meet any of us for dinner or even to go out. never replies our sms except on birthdays. never chats with us online except for certain stuff. and never wants to be seen in public with us. it's kinda sad that i cannot know how is he, wad is he doing and how's life has been for him. i can't know anything except through his blog, through the pksg forum and through newspaper articles or whatsoever that features whatever he is doing. i don't wanna find out anything that happens to him through such stuff. i want him to tell me himself.
wad if he falls one day? would i know about it only through some article? if you don't get my point here it's fine. what do i care anyway.
other than this. i have nothing to blog about actually. i don't know why, but the past few days doesn't seem like very good days to me. in fact, recently everything is just so... argh.
hmm. =( tricia is not very happy here.

how come after labour day there are suddenly so many customers coming to learn driving. makes the centre super busy. and makes me super overworked.
just because i can talk. and pull in that bit of sales doesn't mean i have to do it all the time. give me a break. i love to interact with customers. but i don't want to have to keep doing the enrollment. one after another. like there's no end to it.
selling lessons, answering phonecalls, doing termination, pulling in sales. i am but one man. sorry woman actually. and i am only a temp staff. it's stupid when the upper management complains that there's a lot of abandon calls coming in, when they know nothing about how tiring it is to answer so many calls in one day. you so do not criticise someone else's job when you don't know wad they're going through.
and i fell down the stairs the other day. stupid. nobody wanna help me. i really felt like going home there and then. it hurts. and who do i complain to? bloody hell. it's bad enough that the centre was jammed pack with people people and more people. and that i was in a rush to get things done. not forgetting the huge amount of work awaiting me. why me?! dumb dumb dumb.
aiyah i damn angry. stupid. can't believe i fell down the stairs. it's been so long since i fell. and in such an unglam position. hmphz. i wanna take leave. i wanna sleep till one everyday. sleep late wake up late. let's find a date to quit our jobs.
sometimes things just happen at the wrong timing. when you need something at that very moment, no matter how hard you try to find it, look for it and search for it, you just cannot find it.
but when you have no need for it, it just keeps appearing by your side. sucks huh.
why aren't YOU doing anything to help me?
tricia is mad. she's overworked. better hope that for the past few days there won't be any nasty customers.
