Life's pretty much stagnant for me now...

Between work to random outings to just pure daydreaming.

Been wanting to learn alot of stuff lately...and even got the materials for them.

I've got a long list of things I wanna learn or improve on by the end of National Service but I guess I won't even know which I will accomplish?

They are:

Improving Guitar
Hip Hop
Singing
Photography
Korean Language
Photoshop
Improving on video editing
Music Production with Sonar X1
Fitness

Okay the list isn't exactly that long but it is far-fetched I must say.

Definitely unable to attain all within a short time, but I'm keen in taking classes I guess?

But won't have time to do it since I only got like a few months to November, where Edison will go on hiatus and the National Service guy that replaces me will be......


Codename : NOSIDE..

..go figure


Ok back to where I was before I was so rudely interrupted by myself with such a lame shit remark.

Yeah don't you wish (Those of you who are like me, with little skills) your parents would like FORCE you to like learn some instrument or some skill back when you were little.

Ok then I should blame myself for not joining a skill-related CCA and but instead joined some lame societies and clubs. (To my dear CCA Members, IM JUST JOKING)

But yeah totally should've learned like breakdancing or something BADASS yknw what I mean? No? Ok fine learning to organise camps are badass enough.

Dad brought back his friend's Wii, to kinda like help him fix.

He's in the IT line of business so he's into fixing such thingis...

Apparently his naive friend bought a pirated set from Malaysia and was promised with 100 GAMEs in it.

Turns out there were only 3!

And it's all those fail games like "Active Lifestyle", "10 minute solution"

Which by the way are those really lame cardio games that has lousy graphics and poor gameplay supposedly to help you shed some pounds.

..Uh hyeeah right through boredom i'll probably lose some weight.

So we looked into the hard drive and realised there were actually MORE games but was hidden from our viewing because of some technical issues.

So yeah the console suddenly became more exciting and I'm playing Raving Rabbids.

It has since been returned to it's rightful owner.

And recently at work there's been a rather bad 'queue' of unreasonable customers.

Seriously, THERE ARE SO MANYY.

When the clause states BIRTHDAY VOUCHER IS ONLY VALID, AND CAN ONLY BE USED DURING YOUR BIRTHDAY MONTH.

Why do we still get people with things like

"Hey I forgot about this voucher, can extend?"
"Now got Sale leh, not worth it, can extend?"

And they usually want to push it all the way to "see the manager"

Why do all these people just want to be content hearing another voice say 'no' to them? Is my voice not convincing enough?

Well obviously in the Customer Service line we put up a brave front and are as kind as we can be. (I am of course)

But don't you just want to rant to your colleagues after you put down the phone?

It's really not a easy task being in the Service sector in Singapore. You need to be armed with an extensive vocabulary of different ways to say "No" and "I'm really sorry" And you get customers that actually threaten to bring the matter to places like STOMP or CASE.

Doing a quick browse through STOMP you will realise all these people who post such things always get slammed by the netizens for being a typical Singaporean. Seeking solace? Woops I guess you just embarrassed yourself.

But I guess that's part and parcel of being a service personnel? You really need to let off your steam to someone or somewhere or you'll really go crazy with all those unreasonable requests stuck in your ears.

I honestly prefer face to face customer service, because the people tend to be less unreasonable due to the fact they are not hiding behind a screen or a telephone line. AND you can use body language to state your point!

*Smiling apologetically* I'm sorry ma'am you really cannot let your child into the lion's enclosure

*Astonished expression* Really? The birdpark allows you to?

*Patronising smile* Well I guess birds are birds..we're talking lions here.

*Fake laugh* Yes you can try the hamster enclosure I'm sure they'll allow that!

Sigh seriously, everytime I look at a complaint form and I see that the customer's Singaporean NRIC is 1980 onwards, I start to brace myself and recite my lines to prepare.

I am particularly happy when I see NRICs beginning with S91***** because I know they're the same age! (And I'll probably have mutual friends so don't go overboard with me)

Lol such retarded observations come with not so retarded bad experiences....
