& thanks for the concern, sue. but im oh-so mighty fine. i was just having that-time-of-the-moment feeling kinda thing. :]
anyway. hogging session on the phone with Dear 2 nights ago was a horribly sadistic one. tho i dont wish to rake it up, it's still pretty torturing just to think abt it. so i shant talk abt it, & you shant ask ok. ^.^v right.
exactly last week, i think, went Geylang with Dear's classmates for breaking fast. & i think we broke our fast a few seconds earlier than expected. coz our table was just next to this retail shop, & they (as in the shop owner) has his radio/casette on, abt some Islamic lecture or syarahan. im not quite sure if thats a record or a real live radio station that was on, but it sounded pretty real. so when we heard the azan came on, all of us dug in to our food, along with some other people sitting ard us. then like 5sces after we munched on, came another azan that sounded exactly like the ones at Radio Warna. & we all were like, "eh baru azan lah! ni lah yg betol nye!" something like that. tros kecoh sak. haha. so yeah. did our normal survey, looking for the kind of baju i'll be buying next week. oh & faiz bought this artificial flower ornament that comes with a small vase/pot with those flashing lights thingy that look like lampu lap-lip attached inside of the vase/pot. hahahaha. abeh sume tk percaye die nk beli tu, abeh sume kekek. haha.
ok so so so. lets talk abt what happened at my last day of work (:D) today. i have 2 stories to share.
for the first story i'd like to name it.. Either Stupid Or Stupid. ok here goes. today is friday (the 13th!! :D), & unlike any usual fridays at NTUC Income, today was full-house. & people tend to get cranky if they have to wait for like an hour for their queue number to be called out. but thats understandable. well sometimes.
then came this 50-ish woman, like nyonya2 like that, the kind thats capable of complaining just abt anything. frm the way she walk, talk & behave, oh honey i can tell. you see, the receptionist was on leave today, leaving me with doing some of the tasks she's assigned to do, like directing the customers to specific counters for their specific enquiries or payments, blabla. & there was a signboard by the reception desk, stating:
(1) Road Tax Payment Only
(2) Life Insurance Premium Payment Only
(ps: oh yeah you bet i can remember all that) so when the woman entered, it was only right of me to attend to her & ask if she needed any help. so she pointed to the signboard saying she wanted to make a payment for those 2 items. so i gladly directed her to the Express Queue (EQ) at the other corner of the room & said that no queue number was needed. but somehow she went to sit next to her husband at the non Express Queue & even tripped over the legs of the chair. then she turned to me & angrily said the design of this chair is very bad, not good for old people. elehh! i dont see anybody else complaining. she just wasnt looking where she's walking. *rolls eyes* tapi yg die complain pat aku tu ape hal sak. mcm aku yg design bende ala tu kasi die jatuh. tapi tkpe, itu aku sabar kan aje, still had my patience.
when she realised she wasnt in the queue, she quickly rushed in to queue lah. unfortunately, only one counter was available/open for the Express Queue. so she had to wait pretty long. then came a man, who immediately slipped into that particular counter, & that prolly boiled that woman up. i saw her complaining to her husband abt it, then when she realised i was looking at her in wonder, she came to me & said:
WOMAN: eh EQ dont have to take number is it? why ah that man go to that counter? he jumping queue or what? this is not fair!
ME: (honestly confused as well, but starting to get irritated by her fussy-ness) oh erm im not sure myself, but maybe just now he came first, but had to go get something & return to settle his things again. you just wait for your turn to be called out.
then dont know what lah she was blabbering eh. but she complained the same thing to the person queue-ing behind her in the EQ. then suddenly, which i assume she cannot tahan waiting for too long already, angrily came up to me saying:
WOMAN: eh are you sure i dont need to take number or not? i want to pay for my insurance & road tax!
(by this time, i kinda forgot what kind of insurance she wanted to pay for, so i assume she wanted to pay for an insurance other than Life Insurance, & customers need a queue number for that)
ME: i thought you said you want road tax only.. (i was already blur lah actually)
WOMAN: you thought you thought!!
(i went to get a queue number for her)
WOMAN: (pointing at the signboard) i said i want to pay for my insurance & road tax!
ME: oh but if you want to pay for road tax & the life insurance premium, you dont need queue number, you just wait at the EQ.
WOMAN: i queue so long then that man came. what is this?! you all should have quene numbers for EQ also you know!
ME: yah but the system's already like that, no queue numbers for EQ.
WOMAN: yah yah but im suggesting this to you now!
ME: *sarcastically* then you can drop it in the Comments Box here (pointing to the Comment Box).
WOMAN: yah yah yah you do that for me. now i want to pay for these two items. need queue number or not?
ME: you want queue number? ('slammed' the queue number in front of her)
(but she refused to take it plak ni!)
WOMAN: (still pointing hard at the words on signboard, as if i cannot read) noooo i want to pay for my insurance first then road tax! you understand me or not?!
ME: (pointing back at the signboard) yaaahhh, but you said you want to pay for these 2 items right?? you only got to EQ if you are paying for Road Tax & Life Insurance Premium. & you are paying for Life Insurance Premium right?
WOMAN: *matter-of-factly* CAR INSURANCE.
kiwak part ni tros aku mcm nk bantai sak si tue ni peh muke. pala puks tol sak. she shouldve told me earlier she wanted to pay for the fucking car insurance & not the Premium. & she cant blame me for 'not paying attention' coz i was paying helluva attention alright! helluva attention that shouldnt be given in the first place! geeezz. when she first came in, step like some big shot, ckp nk bayar for these 2 items. & i thought she knew very well what she came there for. step tau je. padahal padahal. dah tu bbual ngan org terpekik terpukau. padahal die yg tk paham itu signboard maksod ape dan utk ape. ni nk step salah aku plak. ni lah maksod aku, she's either stupid or stupid!
ME: say so laaaah. if you want Car Insurance then must take queue number!
WOMAN: i already said i want insurance what.
ME: yaah, but you said you want these 2 items & these 2 items are only for the EQ.
then after that she walked away, blabbering something as well i think. but cant figure out what lah. beh dah gitu kan, die dudok uh, bace suratkhabar dgn laki die yg extra je tu. tgh bace, ade hati plak ni nk stare2 pat aku. turn by turn tu plak! lepas laki die tgk, si pompan tu plak. eh tk leh ckp pompan, mude sgt. si tue tu plak. her husband looked at me while i was looking somewhere else but i still get to notice of it at the corner of my eye. so i looked back at him. like 2secs after that then he looked away. pastu si bini die plak. i was actually watching the TV that was hanging on the ceiling lah, but like i said, i can still see them at the corner of my eye. so when i noticed she was staring at me, i let it be, dint wanna look back at her coz i was trying to keep my patience within.
but cannot take it sak. tk tahan sei die tgk aku lamer mcm tu. so i turned to look at her lah. ni kali tau plak tgk lain. step tk nmpk aku gitu. beh si laki die ape lagi, tgk aku lagi for a couple of times uh. extra aje si dektu. beh drng mengumpat sambil tgk aku. eh kalau tk puas meh sini ah. bbual pat luar, sbab pat dlm tu ofis, tknk kacau customer pat situ. aku dont mind seh. serious. because i know im right. i understand my job very well, my responsibility there in directing the customers to specific counters. die tu je tak tau bace. sendiri tk paham, ade hati plak nk kate aku yg tk paham ape die nak.
oh & pardon me, im not trying to act tough, like some big fuck or what lah eh. but this has happened to me for the 2nd fucking time. the first one was with that bergedel-face teacher at school. coz he accused me & nadiah of doing something we dint even do, then denied all the things that he'd said earlier when we confronted his accusations. the entry of that incident is still somewhere in my previous posts tho. so yeah. what happened today is pretty much similar to what happened at school. both were at wrong in the first place. not being clear, not being aware. & im not like blaming all these to them just to defend myself but because i know im not at fault.
so. once they'd left, i went out for awhile coz Dear cant wait to hear the story (i text-ed him the summary of it coz i reeeeaaaaaallllyyy need to let it all out, like need to share the incident with someone). so i told him everything, all my vulgarities escaped without warning, splurting everywhere as if i was fighting in a battle field & harsh words were the bullets. & Dear was kinda surprised i was that pissed, but he understood, coz he said that was my pms reacting. hahaha.
if it wasnt for the fact that the woman can already be considered a grandma & if it wasnt for my still-working conscience saying the elderly should still be respected no matter how extreme they'd gone to make you extremely pissed, i couldve just sumbat-sumbat sental-sental due tige paket chilli padi dgn satu botol cincalok pat muke die tau, kasi die facial mask! itu pon kalau aku ade bende tu sume uh & get confirmation that i wont get sued after that. coz after all, im the so-called legal eighteen. blah. -_______-"
ok so now screw the hag. i just realised i made a huge mistake. no, not abt being rude or whatever to the woman, but abt my attendance list & my pay. im prolly to be getting my pay for the month of October only, but not for the month of Sept. coz i dint submit my Sept attendance list to my supervisor, siow lin, coz it was actually supposed to be submitted monthly. i was being careless, i know. & siow lin said it's too late already, so im likely not to get my Sept's pay. howeverrrr, i turned to another alternative, & called josephine, my other supervisor at NTUC Income HQ, & she said she'll do her best to work things out & that i will get my pay tho it might be delayed. nvm lah. as long as i still get my pay for the 3weeks i'd worked, im oh-mighty happy!
now now, when shall i upgrade to N73? coz ive been waiting sooooooo long for that time to come. hmm, prolly during/after raye, yes Dear? ;]
ooh yay yay tmr buke luar! dpt kacau si nisot lagi, haha. eh but but i can have breakfast lah tmr. as in breakfast at 10am. or 11. or whenever i want. haha. syioookkah! :D
ok this has been a long entry. i'll write to you soon, bloggie.
bye now!
