Spinning: Undiscovered - James Morrison
Mood: pleased
Time: 12.18am
a couple of things today that are worth mentioning.
Sherlyn is a changed lady. from well refined to abusive. she verbally abused me and An'An for the entire day using all sorts of acronyms to scold us. =( she blew up over a petty customers and scolded wtf in his presence. shocked me to dead, for the first time after working almost a year, i heard her mumbling this. and i think work really got me trained. i'm built with better tolerance, patience and temper. =p
i'm so waiting for Sherlyn's anime she promised to lend me. i so wanna watch can!
and oh, speaking of this stupid customers. i met one that day who really manage to get the shit out of me. she asked tons of questions till a level i couldn't take it anymore. thus, i gave her a fucking response to get her off my ass.
customer: * test the pencil on the paper and points to what she wrote * " may i know the shade of this pencil lead? "
me: " errr. i can't really tell. but i think on averaged use, it should be 2B "
customer: " how many pencil leads are given in this pencil "
me: " approximately 2-3. "
customer: " what's the darkest shade available? "
me: " HB lightest. 6B darkest. but for mechanical pencil refills, we only have 4B, the darkest. "
customer: " get me 3b then. "
me: * took one for her *
customer: " how do you refill this? "
me: * demonstrating * " open the cap and put them in "
customers: " why are these pencils shaped in triangle "
me: " for better grip? "
customers: grabbing another pencil, she starts asking those bloody questions that she previously asked again! ( until... )
customers : " how many pencil refills can i put inside the mechanical pencil? "
me: " oh, if you wanna, you can put all 40 inside at a go, but occasionally it will get stuck "
( i was being sarcastic over her foolish remark )
* walks away almost wanting to kill her *
come to think of it, i think i was out of my mind that day. i couldn't imagine me getting complain over this. LOL.
Secondly, there's this dish washer auntie in our staff canteen and a young mute cleaner, her daughter which i really do admire a lot. looking at them, i can't help sympathizing with them a little, but i feel proud of them. at the same time, i look down on myself and people around me. it seems that we are seriously too greedy with life by being too demanding when we had more than enough. being able bodied, we are the most fortunate. there are people who are flawed the moment they are born. they didn't do anything to deserve such treatment, but forced to live with it. i saw many of such people who are really contented with what god has bestowed them with.
but for us, healthy people. who were never much contented for once. we're consistently being demanding and in search for better things to reach out to. we never like the way we are now isn't it? we just wanna be people who are wealthier than us, better off than us. perhaps if we work hard enough, we might just be like them. but i believed, such things are really shallow. hardships nurture people's goodness out of them. people like auntie and the lady, they are then the bigger person. they are people who have truly gained courage unlike some people who never had the will to gather. maybe if that were to happened to me, i guess i would have resort to suicidal. how many people out there can grit their teeth like they do and move along with live?
i feel a kind of happiness when i see mummy eating that piece of tiramisu i bought her after work. i wanted to buy cheesecake for daddy, but that fussy chap never had like cheese. i shall try getting him a mango cake for him tomorrow. =) i guess, this is love right. oh ya, black forest is nice, real nice.
payroll is coming! * jumps for joy * and i've made a pact with mummy to go ikea to buy new curtains and some furnishing stuffs. finally! the long await revamp of our house. i'm getting a new coat of paint, what colour should i get? hmmm, a tough one.
alright, i'm going school to submit my graduation project before my work at 2pm. =)
i'm working late shift with emily, oh, so miss her after so many weeks of absence!
see you guys around.
