Heartfelt Words for XX
There is a song sang by Ayumi called, "A song for XX". Which gives me the idea of this post..
"Could you please stop harping non stop on the same old stuff? Fine, I have let you down and I apologised.
Stop telling me that it is ridiculous, ridiculous. Do you know I feel like telling you that some things you just have to spend money. By refusing to believe that you need to spend the money and expect go get things done is more ridiculous!
If lights are blown, just spend the money and get it replace. Do you know I am sick and tired of you saying that lights should never blown. It is explosed to the weather and you still expect it to never blow. That is ridiculous!
Stop telling me be firm. Face it! You are just prejudice that I am a female being. Whatever that cannot be acheive, you just conveniently blame it that I am not being firm.
Please for goodness sake tell my boss to get me replaced. You are forever harping on my SAME OLD mistakes, forever unwilling to accept advises, forever want to be inflexible. If my service can never satify you, stop torturing me mentally. It does not solve the problem but only makes me feel that you are very destestable!
For goodness sake, could someone also tell my boss that my pay cannot justify this mental ordeal that I am going through?

Transport Grievances
I have seen this advertisement that encouraged us to take public transport. But taking public transport itself made me very unconvinced. Let's set aside that I have to travel alot in my work and that I have a very heavy bag which made public transport very inconvenient for me to move about. But it is those weirdos around who are getting on my nerves!
Weirdo A: Brittle Back Person
During peak hour, the MRT is crowded such that you can forget about the seats. Every single handle and the poles are your last hope to stay stable in the train. But weirdo A could have think that he/she stood at a very priviledge place that he/she can rest their back on! Imagine how many hands could hold on to the pole/ pillar (whatever that is supposed to call) and just a stupid back that belongs to the weirdo jeopardize your last ray of hope to maintain your posture in the train.
Weirdo B: Concert Person
Please, I don't care what music phone you are holding. We all know almost all phone comes with a ear piece in the sales package, do you have to blast out your music through your speaker and disturb the peacelover passengers? I do not really admire that singer that is singing from your phone, I pity him to have such a listener in you that appears people who appreciates his/her behaves in a tasteless manner.
Weirdo C: Madly In Love
Recently, peacelover and conservative me was glad that I found a seat on the MRT after a tiring day at work. I believe I could rest at my seat peacefully when a tall and fit man sat down beside me and his girlfriend sat on his lap. I was like.. Huh? PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSEEEEE!! Man, if you are worried that your girlfriend legs will ache from standing, being so tall, fit and young I am sure it won't hurt you to STAND and give up the seat to her. This is a public place! Anyway, I began to tell myself I see no evil, hear no evil and then I hear the girl spouting.. "ba ba ba ba ba.." in a rythematic way.. initially I did not understand, nor do I care until the man responded in the same rythematic way "meow meow meow meow..." well, maybe this is a love language that touches their heart, make them feel so sweet... but... HAIR STAND, MAN!!
And to all couples who are so hanky panky, I am sure there are better place to express your love, choose some quiet place, please!
I could just go on and on, but I will just settle on these first. If ever I have the impulsive to buy the car, my reasons will come from my experience of taking public transport such as the MRT. Then again, I am too poor to afford a car and shall subject myself to these nonsense again, again and again...

Then and Now
Some years back, the priviledges of the customer serving lines are often reasonable and even attractive. Example, the priviledges you get to redeem on your birthday for being a loyal client or the priviledges that you get to enjoy for being a member or for attracting you to visit the place again. Those days it could easily be a one for one buffet or up to a certain attractive discount off at a high class restaurant or entertainment at all times.
Nowadays, the priviledges gets pretty miserable. So miserable you do not even want to utilise it. From high class restaurant, it turned to fast food restaurant and at 10% only. As if it is not miserable enough, this discount is not allowed to use it on buying set meals, which is usually what you would eat at fast food restaurant. Otherwise it would be buying a pizza meal then you would be entitle to a free SMALL THIN pan pizza.
Recently, I saw a S$2 off movie price offer which is EXCLUSIVE for members and went to see the details. And I saw -Not applicable on Friday-Sunday, public holidays, eve of public holidays and SCHOOL holidays! furthermore restricted to movies that are Not valid for films marked No Free Passes. It reminds me of the KTV vouchers terms that my friend showed me recently. There were many vouchers yet all the vouchers have almost the same terms as the movie "EXCLUSIVE"!
Last time, when you see these priviledges or promotion, you simply cannot wait to utilize it. If you were a loyal client or member, you would felt happy and even rewarded to enjoy what is given. But nowadays, I just felt the consumer are being treated like a fool. By utilising these "exclusive", it is as good as bring more hassle to ourselves for the sake to spend more money! It seem nowadays it is no longer reward or attracting consumers to keep them, but treating them like a fool to spin in more money for them. As a consumer, your "rewards" somehow appear to be a disguise for spending more money at no cost from the sources at all.

Merry or Not
Down on luck lately...it seem to get worse and worse. my goodness...
During the weekend, I sacrificed my beauty sleep and woke up early to travel quite a distance to watch a colleague performance. My boss' family also came to give him their support too. However, only after we finished watching a performance, we realized we went into the wrong hall! This drove me mad too, all my efforts to support my colleague went into drain!!
Last week, when I was closing the company's door, the lock was stuck. I have to pull up the metal door again to set it correctly and the alarm was triggered Although I managed to off the alarm but the security side has already alerted one of the DIRECTORS. The very next working day, my collegue unintentionally set the alarm off again and on Christmas Eve, instead of greetings, we received a stern warning from the director personally. We then asked each other what have we done wrong? We were merely closing and opening the door!! But we comforted each other that Christmas eve is also know as holy night, things will work out fine at night.
During the evening, my friend and I were waiting for the bus 69 to head for an dinner appointment with the rest. Normal time, this is one of those buses you kept seeing it appearing again and again at the bus stop until no one at the bus stop is waiting for it. You can even put it this way, the bus is waiting for passenger instead of the other way round but on that fateful evening, we waited in 'amaze' as we saw other bus numbers that usually have longer waiting time appearing more than once, more than twice but not a sight of 69! We waited until we confirm that we will be late then the bus finally came.
Today xmas I am plague with running nose! Well, but my luck turned for a little better in the afternoon. I went to meet my ex colleague to collect something and did not bring umbrella, the sky started to be very gloomy. When the bus reached my destination, I realized it was raining. But as I pass through the non sheltered area, the rain almost stopped. Thanx to all the merry xmas wishes from my friends, I guess it finally work a little.

a short biography of a small fry
Recently, I saw few coffeeshop assistants, often wearing a smile and appeared all perk and enthusiastic. This let customers like me felt very at ease to watch them at work and to order drinks from people like them. It was then I find that I should make myself be enthusiastic about my job, not only I will feel happy, so will my colleagues and clients.
However, bringing this positive thought to work very soon backfire when tons of workloads attached with unreasonable fast deadlines are slapped at me. And when amidst of your hectic schedule, both relevant and irrelevant people came to ask you to do extra work. And you just do not know why irrelevant people can simply do that just because what they need is just what that is relevant to your job, that is how ridiculous. And when you try to push these irrelevant pests to someone else, it bounces back within minutes! Argh>O Anyway that unlucky irrelevant fellow certainly could not escape without being attacked by my hostility and thought that it was worth it just because I lie that I will help him in the end. Well, not really a lie, somehow just not that soon. Cannot really blame me, just because of a sentence “I need bla and bla.” I will have to use all my strength, waste my time to move and dig dusty, heavy boxes and boxes of files and document, which do not guarantee that the efforts will be paid off. You might just end up finding nothing and then use time and strength to put back boxes and boxes of dusty and heavy files.
At presence, the comfort in my work is that I am working with nice people. I find that working with nice people is very important because I am NOT very nice. So in order not to work in an environment where I might be ostracised, it is advisable that I do not change job yet. Putting myself in shoes of the people who call me at work, I certainly understand how dreadful it is to call and hear my cold, half-dead but murderous tone, which silently tells you, “I am very busy, I do not have time to talk.” Compare to another colleague, a very cheerful lady who always laugh heartily and talks amicably.
Maybe one day, I will be able to carry out the attitude of the coffeeshop’s assistant. They are certainly not well paid as bill gate and also a small fry as me. They surely do encounter unreasonable people who act like beast. It is definitely not easy. So naturally I can be forgiven for not being able to do that yet.
I am forgiven.
