updates updates!

oh i'm so spoilt for choice!
went TV-huntin for my room! i'm so psyched because i thought my mum has already decided that TV should be banned from my room.
but now that my brother took my old tv away, she suddenly decides to get me a new tv!
LCD flat screen & to be mounted on the wall to save space! (:
but i'm so spoilt for choice though. -pouts-
we havent exactly decided on one but the most likely choice would be Sharp. (but i really absolutely LOVE the new Samsung TV that's like, whoosh! blows me over!)this is the 20" Sharp TV ..but i'm not eyeing for this model lar, we're eyeing for another similar & cheaper one..this is my darling Samsung TV! it's all shiny white with a red trimming underneath (although it looks more like black than red in the photo) it TOTALLY suits my room! (:see? my room has one RED wall (although it looks orange, i dont know why. must be Jia Xin's phone cuz this picture was taken and done by her) and i have retro light & retro curtain! -beams-
that TV TOTALLY suits my room but DANG it's 26", far TOO BIG for my room cuz i only need a 20"-23". -wails-

why cant they make a 20" one?! why oh WHY?
:(

anyway, random photos to update.

the friday before CNY, this two indian men came & bought a whooping $1500 worth of clothings from us! definitely kept us busy for quite long! the entire counter was piled with loads of clothes!

when i knocked off, which was minutes later, i saw them in Giordano and i also happen to see Giordano's counter buried with a tower of clothes! rich people from i dont know where... silicon valley?)


bouquet of flowers sent to the store on Vday by my monk (:
(this one looks bright & cheery)
while this looks so romantic & dreamy~
today's my off day! & nonetheless, SHOPPING DAY! (: ooh. i love this from Zara.
and this too! (:matching tops from Puma! (:okay, i admit we kinda look silly but cute. haha.
me & monk's short reunion after his booking out.
oh. and i think puma's REAL SILLY to make two such HUMONGOUS fitting room. it's an utter waste of space and land resource!!! the two fitting room combined can easily fit in five to six standard sized fitting rooms! -rolls eyes-

oh. and updates about work.
- yati left already :(
20th feb was her last day & tiffany, bernard & i shared a card and a cake for her. the weird thing is she's back to work today! but, only as a part timer... how saddening.
- since yati left, i'm officially the in-charge for the bossini kid's counter. okay, i wonder if only vertically challenged people are fit to be in-charge at the kid's counter?! bahhh.
- i under-charged customer!!! oh no. i was actually so proud i hadn't undercharged customers yet. but ever since Albert came (ns#1), he first undercharged, den Yati, den him again, den it's me! twice in three days! ohmyholymothercow. on 20th. i undercharged $2.10 and den 22nd, i undercharged $3.80. i'm darn sad.
what else can i say besides Albert's a jinx? because before he came, yati & i NEVER undercharged AT ALL. damn you!
- i officially ruined my high EQ level image by screamin at Albert last night.
this was what happened:
i came down from the kid's counter, feeling utterly depressed & wondering what YK (my ultra biased-towards-males-second-in-charge) would say to piss me off. and he, Albert whatever (i cant be bothered to note his surname even) actually dared say, "eh, you're back! okay you go clean the mirror"
WHO THE HELL IS HE TO ORDER ME TO CLEAN THE MIRROR?
(and i wonder how many times must i ask the "who-the-hell-is-he-to..." question a day.)
whatthehell.
so i just blatantly ignored him & went to help tidy up the shop floor until YK asked me to key in the memos from Isetan.
and when i'm done, i had to do closing, which involves loads of calculating & sorta mathematical formulas to do the calculations.
i.e. ASPT=average sales per transaction (sales/no. of memos or receipts)
all these kinda shit. but i kinda enjoy it cuz it means i dont need to do vacuuming/mopping/folding/cleaning mirror/wiping shelvings.
shah was also doing closing which involves all that calculating & counting money & more complicated matters because it involves all the nets payment & credit cards blah.
so we were really busy at the counter, but hell, Albert doesn't understands all this and he sashays over with the vacuum. den said "where's the sales record book? i want to calculate my personal sales", just because the last customer he served spent a total of near $300.
anxious that he was, we understand because it's so exciting to hit personal sales target since it's rather tough to hit.. but can he judge what's more important first?
no he cant.
and can he see that our counter is already so crammed?
no he cant and insists in squeezing in with us & depriving us of space and air.
and can he understand that he should do vacuuming first because it takes very long?
no he cant.
he's such a childish brat!
and the worst thing is shah and i were nicely telling him to go vacuum first, he can calculate it later, but he doesnt listen.
den YK did the most disgusting thing that is CHILD TALK. i admit he does have the mentality of a child but hey, you know if it were me or tiffany or probably shah, (i used probably cuz shah's a GUY. afterall, sexuality is all that matters to YK. so shah probably wouldn't have kena-ed although her favouritism towards him is dying) we would have received her stern & serious tone preaching.
whatthehell.

and i dont know what's gotten into me.
just seeing this spoilt stupid brat here hindering everyone right in front of me raised my blood temperature to a boiling 100dgc.
i could literally feel my entire body growing hot with anger and temperature rising and heart thumping hard.
and i exclaimed, "CAN YOU JUST GO AND VACUUM INSTEAD OF STANDING HERE? YOU'RE DAMN BLOODY FUCKING IRRITATING LA."
right.in.front.of.his.face.and.everyone.
i didnt even flinch.
i didnt even felt embarrass.
or like feel like hiding myself cuz i said something horrendous.
no.
and he just carried on counting his bloody PERSONAL SALES TARGET as though nothing happened.
what a thick-skinned idiot.
pfuit.

and whatever. shant bother bout him anymore.
anyway, i wished we could have videotaped down last night. HA!
partly because i cannot believe i actually removed this mask of me.
this mask that i preserved & maintained for so long..no matter how angry i am with that person, i never confronted them. (mostly. if i dislike that person to my limit, i basically ignore them & treat them as invisible & as though i dont know them & what they do has nothing to do with me & i dont care if they know i dont like them or not)
but i actually tore my mask off last night and confronted my feelings to Albert. (ee. this sounds wrong. like i confessed i like him or something. UGH!)
rather proud of myself. and the next i would confront would be YK!
although it's abit harder. but oh wells. i'll try!
and partly because shah and i demonstrated such flawless teamwork we completed closing & cleaning all the mirrors (six) within a record time.
i dont know the record time.
haha. but it just felt really fast we accomplished so many things.
that'll show them! stupid albert and yk... teamwork's EVERYTHING!
bahhh!
i'm sleepy. breakfast with monk tmr! (:

justawholeloadarandomthoughts.

am in the midst of choosing a new skin.
though i still like my current one alot alot.
haha. but i thought i should probably change a new one soon by march... 19th or is it 20th...? my one year anniversary for this current blog.
was talking to my dear hamizanah (in short, zanah) at isetan last night cuz we were so utterly bored to death. u know, bossini's kids counter actually only had a grand SEVEN customers only?! can u see how bored i was?! ugh.
yup, digressing but anyway, i realised i have been blogging for THREE YEARS already! (i think.)
starting from my hideous first blog, to my second (which, sad to say, i never had wanted to close down. or probably would have closed down but create another new blog at diary-x.. u get what i mean? cuz diary-x is SO blogger friendly, i can change skin ANYTIME! in just ONE CLICK!)
anyway, to my current one...
woo. time really flies. i was passin Feng Shan CC the other day, while visiting my relatives, and all the memories just flooded back like a broken film.. all the banner-making, all the cheering, all the sitting at the floor and watching the match, all the excitement, and the ngee ann guys incident! all just flooded back and this wave of nostalgia hit me right in the heart.
dang. i really do miss dunman high.
and you know, as i was telling bernard (my first in charge cum mentor cum buddy cum "papa") the other day when he asked me how long do i plan to stay.. i said 3 months if i could, but shorter if i think i cant carry on anymore, due to second i/c & the long working hours... and he was quite disappointed cuz he really wanted me to stay.. and i was telling him, it's the people that makes you wanna stay..
and it's true, thinking in the case of dhs & dhsco... like why do i never feel any wave of nostalgia when i think of NY? (it actually makes me kinda sick thinkin of that place. ew.) cuz of the people there!

okay, MAJOR DIGRESSION.
yup, so anyway! back to the subject of blogskins..
i've picked two. so i'm just gonna let everyone vote which one should i use by my third blog's first birthday! (:

#1

#2
so please leave me comments on my tagboard! yayyy. (click on the images for the preview version)

my CNY was not bad cuz it involved lots of ang paos (duh) and lots of ban luck! but this year was a damn huge exception because i returned from my 2nd location (my mum's best friends' place) around 7pm! which is super early because in the past years (since P5 or P6), as far as i can remember, i never reach home earlier than 11. haha. but i returned so early cuz i'm damn paiseh larh. winnin 84 bucks in ban luck gambling with the other kids there. lol.

day 2 was also exceptionally boring cuz it involved staying home watching TV, reading my Shopaholic series, and watching this introduction of the iPhone with my brother.
oooooooh.
iPhone oh iPhone!
(i'm sorry i cant help but exclaim a shiok "oooh" everytime i see the iPhone. it's like a natural reaction when u see a hot guy/girl on the streets.)
so damn shiok! it's so sleek and so nice everyone should check it out! (click on the image!)
i go gaga whenever i see the iPhone.
i wanna SEE it, i wanna HOLD it, i wanna USE it, i wanna HAVE it!
no. i MUST HAVE IT! my brother and i are eyeing on it now. but it's only going to launch in Asia early 2008!!! oh no. i cant stand it anymore.
the anticipation is killing me!
4GB will cost 499USD.
8GB will cost 599USD.
my brain says: of course get the 8GB one lar! only 100USD difference and you get TWICE the memory! lol.
it's released in US 2007 June
in Europe in 4th calendar quarter of this year
in Asia is 2008! :(
i want it i want it i want it!
roar!!!
you'll never think the same of other phones again once you've seen the iPhone.

anyway, MAJOR DIGRESSION again. well, this CNY was boring but at least it was spent resting and just purely enjoying the company of my family & relatives (:
am especially really glad my cousin made it to CNY.. so glad that the liver cancer hasnt taken her away from us & she's recoverin & no longer bed-ridden. good job!
although she doesnt look the same no more, but what matters is she's still there with us and that's what that matters. (:

lov3

firstly,
THANK YOUs to:
christina & clarissa for visiting, and the wonderfully baked brownie & muffin respectively. i feel so showered with love! (:
yee tien & jun xiang for visiting too! (: the three dateless people having dinner together was really enjoyable and it was really great serving you guys too, haha. especially jun xiang who is SO easy to convince into buying clothes, but seriously indecisive. LOL.
doris for visiting and accompanying me till so late despite being so tired!
P.S. i found the letter already! haha. actually, Yati found it for me.. and i owe her a treat larh. haha!

-beams-
and lastly, thank you to monk for the big bouquet of red & white roses. they were a really big lovely surprise. (:


whooo. CNY's arriving in 1h15mins' time! actually, i'm not really that excited because i havent decided what i want to wear yet. i've simply NO IDEA what to wear because i bought bits and pieces since last yr's december hols and they dont come in a set, and they're mostly not really very festive so i DONT KNOW WHAT TO WEAR. simply NO IDEA.
so anyway, i think i'll dress simple this year? haha. it sounds like i dress fancily every year.
-.- it's just, i'm feeling frantic cuz i'm so unprepared this year. every year without fail my outfits would have been planned already, long time ago. grrrr.

and well, spent my CNY eve pampering myself, like reading a book after reunion lunch, had a good long soothing bath, waxed my legs, my armpits, moisturised top to toe, did my nails & toe nails & had a bath. HA. so i feel good -- spiritually & physically. and i caught two good movies on channel 5 --- Something's Gotta Give & Two Week's Notice (:
nice good ole-fashioned movies but with interesting twists

sigh. somehow, i'm just not feeling too happy nor festive. i hope it's only momentarily! cuz i'd really love to enjoy this short lovely break because after these two days, it's back to hectic work and dealing with customers that are becoming increasingly irritating and demanding and probably unreasoning. (and not to mention annoying colleagues too, i.e. K & ns#1 cuz ns#2 left already) oh. and i forgot to mention another new staff that came 3 days ago. (: he's not bad. same age, in SP aerospace, lives 2 blocks away from my OLD HOUSE!
and he's not irritating, nor does he glues his words together, and is neither rude nor does he speeak without using his brain.
reminds me & shah how i was like when i first came. haha. a little too enthusiastic about workin because he too tapped in 30mins early for break, just like me! except, he's a little shy & less hyperactive than when i first started larh. haha.

okay, i finished updating? haha. oh yeah, i also had a show down with my i/c because i told him about K & ns#1. (:
phew. feels like a whole load of relief. and suddenly i feel that i dont dislike/hate them as much as i used to! and it's weird i suddenly find them more bearable after i talked to my i/c. haha. weird huh? =P

first pay treat (:

had dinner with my family tonight! (:
it's my official FIRST PAY TREAT!
so my parents, my two brothers, my eldest brother's gf & i had a feast tonight! (but somehow the utility decreased again...)
why oh why are mankind such complicated creatures? the utility just decreases each time...
and the novelty too. if it's like that for such tantalizing food, i wonder how can one stay faithful to his/her spouse a lifetime?
it's such envy when i see grey-haired couples shopping at parkway, the wife choosing clothes for the husband & when i recommend something, she'll go, "nah! he doesn't likes this, he prefers that" that kind of thing.
it's so heartwarming! especially this caucasian couple that i've served, the husband bought a top for her after she tried and they were really a cosy loving couple. after paying, the wife even gave the husband a peck on the cheek! so sweet right!

okay. major digress.

but i've no idea what to blog about actually.

it's just work work work and work surrounding me lately. make it ALL THE TIME.
i kind of miss my parents, even though i see them like, when i reach home, or before work, or right now, they're outside watching tv, I STILL MISS THEM! strange huh? i miss going shopping with them. and it's the festive season now but i dont really have time to go shopping with them! when they visited me yesterday, i realised i miss seeing them in clothes that they wear for shopping because lately, all i've seen is them in their sleep attire. haha. (i think i sound like some busy business woman. LOL)

speaking of work, there're two annoying new staffs.

new staff #1 (A)
- is super annoying. has the IQ of a Sec 1 (or an average Sec 2 probably) and the EQ of a kid who speaks anything & everything without thinking (at least we condone the kids. but i've to say sorry i'm not magnanimous enough to condone someone of the same age as me) he honestly behaves like someone younger.
e.g. says rubbishy thing like "Geh Kiang, go JC" which i smartly retorted "you cant even get into a poly with your prelims, LET ALONE JC." (so piss off. -in my my heart-) i mean, WHO ARE YOU, honestly? i dont even know you for even A WEEK. we're not on close terms at all, so WHO ARE YOU to speak to me like that? even my own FAMILY, CLOSE FRIENDS, people i've known longer than you (say, a thousand times) did not say such a thing to me. so WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU to speak to me like that? bloody freaking rude and atrocious, i'd say.

- cant speak/articulate/pronounce properly (he jumbles & glues every thing together like "woduziheneeh" and i get annoyed because i dont understand and i've to repeat "huh?" until i get it.

- cant write properly also. i've received complaints from Isetan that his handwriting is illegible, doesn't follows things by book. (by the way i'm the in-charge of the kids counter at isetan! lol. cuz yati's quitting.. ya. )

- slacks (alot) lazes around (alot) creates troubles (alot) makes my blood boil (alot) makes me BS (alot)

- he thinks he's funny. (totally not. i dont understand a thing he says. dont wish to understand. and dont wish to even LISTEN. everytime he speaks i've to strain my brain to understand. so why waste my brain cells on him? we're obviously not at the same frequency.who knows when he's makin curt comments that he thinks are funny. hate this kind of people. are they blind or deaf or what? why cant they get the picture? i hope he'd get the picture and buzz off.)

- he is just PLAIN IRRITATING LA.

new staff #2 (F)
- (monday) her first day of work... she already triggered yati & tiffany (hmmm...)

- tuesday M.I.A. but later she explained that her grandpa was sick & she didn't have the shop's number..

-wednesday came, thursday applied leave, friday (i dont know) saturday M.I.A. and guess what? this really pissed all of us because WE are the ones who suffer under her irresponsibility. because on saturday, i was only given a 30min break because we're shorthanded!! & tiffany was damn pissed because she & YK were the only ones at the shop when i was having break and they had to cover so many duties.

roar. bad and lousy new staffs. and i've to honestly admit that if this biasness continues i'm gonna quit! i'm gonna tell you off! honestly! i dont think i can survive till april with yati leaving aft CNY, tiffany quitting when she reaches 3 months, and shah too leaving at end of this month. and then there's the biased monster, and the horrid ns#1 (i think ns#2 is gettin fired/quittin)

:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

i'm feeling miserable already!

pieces of crap

why must there be pieces of craps in your life that momentarily ruins every ounce of happiness that you find?

first, there's J. but it's okay, because she's like ms. lsh that bonds every single person together, as she's the common arch enemy of everyone.
and she gives everyone the pleasure whenever we complain about her. ((:
me, zanah, faizah, perlena, li jing etc etc etc
that's how we bonded together (:
the GOSSIPERS.
i'm so glad that i'm probably gna be up at Isetan for long term because there are GREAT pple like you girls!!!
(and of course, not to forget the 2 eye candies! hiak.)
and also, absence of a certain someone --- K.
the largest piece of crap now in my life.
the misery of my day.

i dont know what made me cry today.
i guess i was in such a foul mood right from the start, that when everything started snowballing, i broke down.
thanks Shah & Tiffany for the comfort and support.
and yeah. i really wish we can mass resign together.
but i'm in such disadvantage! cuz i need to complete three months in order for me to void the payment for uniforms. (currently, the uniforms tt i hv totals up to a whooping $94! and i think there's gonna be season change comin right up after CNY! dang. )
so i need to work all the way till like, 12th April. bahhh!
when Yati's leaving on 19th feb, and Tiffany would be following suit. den Shah in March!
oh mann. life would be SO GOD DAMN MISERABLE for me when you guys leave.

i.dont.even.wanna.think.about.it.

i just pray that the newcomers are really good.


please let the new female staff comin on mon be like Yati & Tiffany!!! pretty please!
at least if that's the case i think i can survive till april... please!
but judging from albert (the current newcomer) it's gna be tough.


whateverrr. i just hope i can excrete that piece of crap.
i am beginnin to hate K.


on a happier note, NIGUS GATHERING TOMORROW!!! (((((:
