Work. work. worK.

Can feel my life slipping back into routine. It's not that I don't want to continue going out and having fun but it's just that there's simply too much work to do and I always have to work late on days that there's an outing planned.

But on the bright side, I'm really liking the people at my work place. Even my acid-tongue boss whom I somehow always found hilarious when she "scold" us is likeable in a twisted sort of way. Work is also manageable so far... but I forsee worse days to come when the girl I'm taking over leaves tomorrow.

The downside of the job is when I have to help out at the counter where the incorrigibly unreasonble shoppers are found. Yesterday I met this middle-age english-speaking lady who was whining that the redemption gift is too cheapo. She grumbles that for $200+ spending and she only got a (in my honest opinion: cute and useful) travel pack. I gently pointed out to her that the 200+ she spent was on something else she bought and this travel pack is just an EXTRA "thank you" gift courtesy of capitaland. As a standard procedure, we require the shopper to produce their IC so as to avoid abusers of the redemption program. But she started whining again that this is against her privacy. She kept going on and on and eventually I told her that she doesn't have to redeem the gift if she doesnt want to. Nobody's forcing her. And then she claims that she is entitled to this gift and I added "only if you can produce your IC." She started saying very loudly that she doesn't like my attitude and stuff and in the end I decided to shut up and ignore her and move on to the next shopper but guess what happened? Another lady who witnessed the whole tirade from beginning to end stood up to justice and reprimanded that whiny old swine, saying that she didn't think there was anything wrong with my attitude and that I was just doing my job and that swine had no right to criticise me whatsoever. And the two women started shouting down each other's face in the middle of Tampines Mall, creating a scene. It was pretty ugly at that time though thinking back now it was quite funny. Eventually, the swine yelled "BITCH!" at my guardian angel when the latter finally decided it was pointless arguing with that swine and left. That swine then turned her anger to me and demanded that my name be given so she can lodge a complaint. I gladly gave it to her because I have witnesses to prove my innocence. But whatever, I doubt she would do anything anyway.

(Bimbotic talk alert!)
Had dinner with Andrew yesterday at Sakae and the topic of the evening was how stubby I look now! Yes all the late night supper has fatten me up and I don't like it a single bit. Can see tummy showing already bah! Need to do a rain check on my diet like NOW! Anyway, I bought a new pair of specs. It's in green! Andrew says it's very attention-seeking and it clashes horribly with the hot pink top I was wearing. But nevermind, I'm sure I'll find something to match it. Can't wait for them to affix the lens so I can use it already!
(Safe zone here now!)

Hmm... Time Traveler's Wife is soooooo good. It's like they are trying to depict human relationships in a more fascinating way: time travel. Been trying to sneak readings between my lunch break and after work and I'm about 2/3 through! So insightful and witty and moving. I can't just praise enough to justify its goodness. I do spot a few minor plot holes in the book but it doesn't turn me off the least bit. Even the best of genius like JKR sometimes makes mistakes like this especially when the plot is more complicating than your typical books so all is forgiven!

Alright, enough of ramblings. Shall try to post more pictorial stuff in my next entry... Tata!
