Love these two buys today. They are supposed to be hairbands, or rather, decorators after I've tied up my hair in a simple pony tail. But I've realised I can just spread them out and wear it on the wrist as a bracelet! That's so multi-tasking, no? =)
And they cost $5.90 each only! Fantastic buys. I originally wanted to buy a bracelet that features a giant flower. But I think it is not versatile enough. I cant even team with too many apparels that I've owned.
Purchases also includes... $1.90, $1.90, $15.00...
Jewellery, shoes.
Also bought 2 tops from ebase cos they are on discount, also 3 bras, of which one of them cost $70 before discount, $60 after. -_-"
Very expensive I know, but what to do?
Sigh, I am going to be out of job already yet I still spend until like tt. Cham liao la.
And yah, didnt blog this for the past 2 days cos my migraine was slowly increasing its attacks on me. At first, it is just a case of once every few days, then it became once every few hrs, then it became once every hr, then slowly it because that it doesnt hurt after every few minutes.
I also cannot understand how come I am so ridden with illness. My blood pressure is ok, has always been, so it is not high blood pressure or low blood pressure. The throbbing pain doesnt stop after taking panadols, so I am guessing it is not the usual headache.
So far, only the ponstan pills can save me. But now even they take some time to kick into life. It used to be so much faster. Yesterday I took my pills slightly after 4.30, by around 6.30 I was drifting off to sleep on this computer chair. I woke myself up (I am too disciplined for my own good sometimes) and packed my stuff a little before I dropped dead. I only woke up this morning after 8.30. Meaning I've slept for more than 13 hrs in one lap.
I feel rejuvenized. And my headache is gone. Sleeping does wonders to me, too bad I am always too preoccupied with mundane routines to sleep.
And I digressed. I meant to say, I was going to blog about kenny yday but I was too stoned to remember to blog it.
Kenny is trying to convince me to go for the customer service hotline job. To quote him, it is "not a lowly job". But please leh kenny, this current job is just as "lowly" leh, so I am not hiam-ing abt the lowness or the highness of the job la.
It is because...
- I think our bank's customers are really too rich and nasty. In this department, whenever customers want to feedback on our lousy dog-tailing attitudes, we just brush them off and ask them to call the csh (customer service hotline la hor). Not good I know, but to get our job done, sometimes we cannot be too bothered by the customers. Then imagine what shit the csh officers get?
- I entered the job feeling worried abt having to do calculations. Cos bank = money, money = calculation mah. Luckily usually dont have to do much calculation, but if I go csh I sure will have to, cos customers will call in and ask you why his interest is $45.85? He calculated $45.84! Headache leh!
- I look aged enough. If I work graveyard shift my body cant regenerate properly leh. Then if never xin cheng dai xie properly I will grow MORE WRINKLES! Shit!
- I think maybe it is a good idea to leave the bank since I dont want to cont in this line. A year to learn should be good enough. And I dont see why I need to learn so much about banking, I entered this job purely due to luck anyway.
I really appreciate tt kenny is concerned enough to ask me twice and spend a little while more councelling me. But I am too tee kee la. I lament a lot, worry a lot, feel confused very frequently, but once I've decided, that's it.
Once when I was in sec2, my results were one of the worst in the class. My science teacher tried to convince me to study, but I flatly rejected him. I felt I dowan to study AND THAT'S THAT!
He tried from another angle, asking me what I want to do later in life. But being the little brat I was, I just told him off and said, "Mr Phua, you dont ask so many qns can or not? Why waste your time on me, it's not like you will get more salary this way."
I said that and I pushed back the chair and walked out of the classroom in front of all my classmates. To think back, I cant imagine how he felt then, when all he wanted is to save a student from frailing further.
Wo cuo le, Mr Phua.
While I'm here talking about pushing back chair, I will talk about jack.
Jack is this guy whom I was working under when I was doing freelance during the period where I was slacking at home after I graduated.
My coursemate who was working in the company recommended me and I ok-ed. She told me that the person that I were to be working under has a history of bad temper and I have to be able to bear with it. Which was not too difficult, I can easily tune out any kb-ing people with willpower.
This jack really very siao one lor, his temper is atrocious, and he trashes out at anyone, colleagues or boss. He doesnt scold me, but will just roll his eyes and zeerk me whenever I ask him something.
To be fair la, out of everyone in the office he treats me the best le, and he even help me extend my freelance period a few times. He told me he like the way I do my work, supposedly I ask just enough qns to do my work, and I dont ask any redundant qns; supposedly I did my work very well and I dont siam tasks even if it is not within my freelance jobscope.
But siao meh, you hire me to edit autocad plans I edit lor. If you want me to photostate a book, I can stand at the machine for 1 hr I also wouldnt mind. If you ask me to print a series of files then arrange into chronological order I dont mind too. If you want me to sit at receptionist area to stand in for 2 hrs while playing minesweeper I will just clap my hands in glee!
But well, he seems to think I'm a good worker lor, he even ask me if I want to cont to work in the company, he will help me put in a good word. I could, but I didnt. Because I didnt want to work design full time.
I was supposed to be working there for 2 days, but it prolonged till beyond 7 wks. I still think jack was going to ask me to stay on, until we had an arguement.
I wanted to take leave to prepare for my graduation ceremony, but because work isnt completed, I thought it is very mei yi qi to take whole day, so I sms jack to ask him can I take half day off? He sd "Happy half day."
Come next day, just before I was going to leave, he asked me to attend a meeting with him and with the boss. I didnt want to, but I thought if it's a while nevermind lor, so I went. But the meeting dragged on, and when the boss stepped aways to answer a call, I asked jack can I leave? He asked me why and I told him I already informed him tt I will be taking half day off?
He refused to comprehend, and retorted whether I've inform admin department before hand? I told him I never did because I had always been directly under him, taking his instuctions and all, I never knew I had to inform admin team like the perms. He got very agitated, and ask me to "get out of the room".
I paused, totally because I was appalled he used such a phrase on me, then pushed back my chair and walked out. I passed by the boss but I didnt stop. I had to use every muscle I had on me to prevent myself from hurling vulgarities at the top of my voice. Who cares man, I am just a freelancer, I just dowan my reputation lor!
But wo ren! I walked back to my desk then started to pack my things then started to murmur under my breathe every vulgarities I've ever heard of. I told the coursemate that jack siao one! And I took my things and left.
After that wkend I still went back for work, and within a few days the latest 'extension' would have ended. Usually jack will extend my expiry date, by a wk or so each time, by informing me around 2 or 3 days before the last projected expiry date reaches. But after that wkend, I refused to talk to him.
I just do the necessary job, and ask him qns with a voice void of any hint of recognision. I simply ask qns by circling an area of doubt, paired with the minimum words I need to get my question understood. I would just leave the print out on his table, and drop my hands to the side of my body, and ask him non-commitantly, "this is under layer 'flooring' or 'built'?" He answered, I said my thanks and snatch the paper off the table and walk away.
A bit rude, but he was rude to begin with mah.
He came to my desk a few times trying to speak to me, and for the first time ever, he spoke to me in gentlest voice that I've ever heard from him before. But the damage had been done, I refused to be appeased.
When my expiry date on the job came, I just finished all the work that I manage, then wrote an A4 page long of all the work I've done, including where the printouts are, and where I've completed to, and where are all the files located on the public drive and etc. And then I left and refused to answer his calls after that.
Scurry he wants to scold me for some uncompleted work, but I also dont care lor.
Haha.
Ok la, to sum it all up, I am really very stubborn. I shall cont to worry about not being able to find a job, but meanwhile still reject jobs on whim.
I'm a discontented bitch.
