over the weekend..

last weekend was great..
got to meet up with caryn on fri nite for a late dinner..
since i was craving for MURNI since I dunno when so caryn dearie brought me there..
so that nite I had the greatest dinner of all..
the food there was great..
we had claypot 'loh shu fun',roti hawaii and cheese naan..
and that is only 2 of us with 3 plates of food..
I think people on the tables beside us was looking at us coz we are eating too much..
after that headed back to caryn's bro's hse in damansara coz she had to pack some stuff home..
then at NZX square,there are these beautiful trees lited up with blue and pink lights..
so I decided to take pics with them..
then on sat,I finally got to meet up with the whole family for my grandpa's 80th birthday
too bad I dun have those pics..
then at home I had movie marathon with my bro..
watch 3 movies in a day..
watched chuck and larry,sweney todd and what happened in vegas..
all was good except sweeney todd..
it wasn't like what I expected..
really emo show with music that is so darn emo..
and the way he kills..makes me afraid of those blades..
vegas and chuck and larry was hilarious

things that make me happy

1. going back to my home sweet home

meeting my parents after weeks of missing them..when I was still studying,I tend to like spending my time here in KL..but once I started working,I understand the meaning of home and family..I learn to appreciate my time with them..Now even when my mum starts mumbling,I would be really grateful because I noe she cares for me..When my dad starts being overprotective,I am really happy because I noe he will be there for me..Talking to my brother and watching tv with him was nothing much previously but now it meant we siblings are spending quality time together..all that was something I used to do everyday and at times I think is routine but this time around,I dun feel like coming back to the place where I am staying now..It's HEAVEN at home..


2. meeting up with the cartoonz....
they cheer me up no matter what..I have this really special bonding with them..maybe they are just my soulmates..I always noe that i can count on them no matter what..though time spent with them is short bgh our but we had fun and we would laugh our heads off..we talk about everything just to keep each of us updated..met up with them last week and watched the mummy 3 with them..I dun think I had been that happy ever since I started working..we took loads and loads of pic..we played around with fries in fron of the camera..we put on funny faces just so that we would look like SK..so that we could be as bubbly as she is..LOL..thanx guys!that was the best friday I ever had since I sterted working..

thorn among the roses

it has been almost a month since I was officially on floor..
"on floor" meaning I can take up calls on my own and make reservations on my own..

I used to have the impression that Genting Highlands is where ppl go for vacation when they need a place to relax and have some fun..
But now I realize that it is not what it seems to be..
Working in the company actually spoils the good impression that I actually had for that place..
In my opinion now,that is a place where greedy and materialistic ppl go to when satisfy their needs..
They are actually that desparate to gamble even though they need to spend millions..
They are not willing to spend for food and accomodation but they are willing to spend in the casino..
To me, they sound like drug addicts who needs their drugs desparately on the phone..
Like a baby crying for milk..
That's how they sound on the phone..

working for only almost a month,I "hear" all sorts of ppl..
Some can be really nice while some say u bullshit..
There was once this customer called in asking for rooms on that day..
So I told him that all the hotels are fully booked..
And he said "Genting staffs are big liars" (direct translation from mandarin)
I mean how desparate can a person be to spend money in the casino..
It's not like u are gonna blow a chance of winning a few billion not spending a night there..
Then I had this customer on the line today..
another singaporean lady asking on some promotion..
this is how it went:

$ing lady: I would like to enquire about this National Day promotion
Me : I'm sorry but u would need to approach the Singapore Sales Office for the booking coz we don't
handle it here
$ing lady: But I can't through the line
Me : Then u might need to try some other time
$ing lady: Bullshit la!Whatever la!

Now u see how demanding Singaporeans can be..
But some can be very nice..
Really cant understand them la..

Btw,my convo is this sun..
And I am really eager to get my phone on sun too..

meeting up.

the phone rang yesterday while I was working..
and the name that appeared was her..
"Valerie" was her name..
a friend I knew from primary..
a friend i grew very close..
almost like sisters..
in fact we are pet sisters..

I dun even remember the last time I saw her..
I think the last time I met her was the last time I went back with her to klang..
hanging out with her once again was fun..
we met up in sg wang coz apparently that's the nearest place to hang out and convienient..
we had dinner in this korean restaurant..
n their ramen is actually MAGGI MEE..
n I had to pay almost 10 bucks for that bowl of noodle..

everytime we meet up,we talk about almost everything..
the best thing is that I can tell her just anything..
just anything..
we can't seem to keep any secret when we start talking..
we would spill just anything..
I think that's the reason y we were so close to each other..
we understand each other very well..

I hope to see her anytime near..
so that we can have more time to chat..
take care sis!

work=no life


I really dun understand how some ppl can toggle between work n life..
they can work but they can still have a LIFE..
after working for almost a month,I realize this might not be the job for me..
I am impressed with the ppl who can work there for years..
the stress they get from the customers especially singaporeans..
whereby they pay for a 3 star service but they expect a 5 star service..
I think that's what made their country so advanced..
they have expectations..
maybe becoz I am still new,so I dun have a way with them..
sometimes I just dunno how should I handle them..


my buddy micheal always say that u have to learn to be cold blooded..
he says that is the only way to shoo off those fussy customers..
and ur EQ has to be really high..
u have to fulfill the customers needs..
answer all their enquiries..
even though it takes half a n hour..
some can really get to your nerves..


working in a call centre whereby it is compulsory to work 12 hrs a day is really tiring me out..
and sitting there for long hours everyday really bores me..
it's just too routine..
I am wondering how long can I last there..
some say if u can work in genting's call centre,u can work in any call centre..
haha..I wonder is that true?

"yes ma'am sue", updates

heyhey everybody..

I knew that i have been long gone from this site..
really sorry for not updating so long..
1stly,it's because there was no internet connection..
2ndly,was busy working for the past 2 weeks..
so updates everyone..hehe..

as I told u guys, I got a job in wisma genting as a Customer relations Officer(CRO) in short customer service..
professional u noe..LOL..
for the past 2 weeks,I underwent the training course which was boring most of the time...
this week comes "buddy training" whereby I have sort of a "guru" to teach me all I need to know before they can let me go on the floor on my own..
so that "guru" of mine is called micheal..
siao siao guy but I would define him as adorable..
*not using the word cute*
If u really like to noe the real meaning of "cute",search it in the dictonary and u shall noe y..

I heard much about this job from the colleagues in the company..
will be under a lot pressure n ur EQ need to be really high..
will be facing a lot of fussy customers specially singaporeans according them..
alot to memorise especially rate plan,room codes n packages..
then got product tests and weekly challenges which reminds me of studying..
but in a way it trains people to multitask..
that is something I must really learn..

and FINALLY I can come online everyday..
muahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

birthday,job..

I never did posted anything on my birthday recently..
actually about a week ago..
well I had a great time and there were loads of photos..
so I'll just upload a few..
*due to some connection problem, I can't upload any*
but u can check them out in caryn or siew kuan's blog..
anyways,this year's bday was a great one..
had 2 suprises n I had 4 cakes..
it is surely 1 bday to be remembered..
thank u for everything guys!
let's just hope u all will have a great bday this year too..
hope that it is full of suprises too..



btw, I got a job already after 3 interviews..
that was my 3rd interview..
it's a customer servive job in wisma genting which turns out to be under genting highlands..
I would need to undergo training for 3 weeks before I can officially start work..
my plans for now is work for 6 months there..
if ever I am capable,I might take some freelancing for advertising..
just get a taste of what it is like..
I was thinking that working in an ad agency for that few months might not be worth it..
not having my very own transport is already a big problem..
somemore with the odd working hours,public transport would be inconvienient..
working as an intern does not pay off well..
I wont be able to support my life in KL if I am an intern..
So the only way to experience advertising is through freelancing..



well,those are my plans now..
whether does it goes as I planned,I don't have a clue..
let's just hope everything works as I planned..
