A Busy Me...

Dear Happy boys and girls...
Let's just skip all the intros and stuff and move on with my 1 week review...

Monday, 22nd January 2007...
As usual...got those sickening Monday blues...You know my the kind of job I'm doing rite? It's not really easy to get 'quality' appointments...I mean the numbers given were not even useful! My bosses kept telling us that the leads are good and stuff...but hey..It's still the wrong numbers, the not-in-use...and the wrong places. I called a school and went to look for the Math teacher...and then I called the hospital and was looking for a nurse...like what the hell..=(...I remembered Kiren didn't come in for work on that day so I was left alone to entertain myself...
At the end of the day, I managed to get 8 appointments..BUT...my bosses only counted 5 of them cause the rest of them were like 'not genuine enough'...whatever...=((..I admit I was kinda desperate that I had to kinda like fake the dates and stuff...Oh well..I left 5 minutes early though...cause I thought I got 8...but I thought wrong...

Tuesday, 23rd January 2007...
We had to come in for work at 9.30am because apparently, boss needed to speak to us. I arrived about 9.25am..so I was early rite? BUT, boss said I was a few minutes late but was the earliest to arrive among the other 3 staffs...what the hell!!!! He was talking bout boring stuff as usual...Told us things that we weren't supposed to know like him not being able to sleep well at night..SO?? He spent about 1 hour talking bout all these silly stuff that we've heard like for dozens of times...!!! The message is always the same but the way he tells it seems to be twisted here and there...He was saying about putting in more effort in order to make genuine appointments..I guess, it wasn't really my day. I was having a bad stomachache...so I had to tell him that I was sick and went home. I just didn't have the mood to make calls cause I was pissed with the whole thing. When I got home, I slept all the way till 7pm...got up, eat a little and watch loads of television.

Wednesday, 24th January 2007...
Let's see what I can remember about today. Well, I can't remember much but all I know is that I got angry. I mean, we were going for lunch-Me, Kiren, Rina and her un-named friend. I wasn't in a good mood. At first they thought of eating at the Malay stall near our workplace. But then decided to eat at BK. I told them it was too expensive to eat at BK. I mean, I ate there before but I can't possibly buy lunch there like all the time right? Then, Kiren punched me in the stomach as he was joking bout something. I was so pissed, I pushed his arms away. Then, after buying my food, I apologized to him. I didn't mean to do that but I don't know what got into me. Oh by the way, boss finally let us watch this video on 24 sales technique or something like that. It's a really old video..like 70s or 80s. The show was like so yesterday...the people were dressed in very off-beat dresses..really big glasses...nicely combed hair...I can't remember the sales technique but I can remember the name of the person aka the motivator- Brian Tracy.

Thursday, 25th January 2007...
Let's see...what happened today..OH..a pal of mine, Shih Hui joined the company. It was kinda cool. I didn't really talk much to her because boss would be watching. Anyways, I got angry again. It was about 5+..I couldn't get appointments. I was pasting a post-it onto the wall. I was trying to relax(as always) so I was doing it really slowly. And then, boss came and said "I'll paste this for you. Your job is to call."..I just went "URGHHHHHH!!!"..and he said..."Why? You not happy with me ar?"...I was like 'oh shit lah..I can lose my job...'.."No lah..I'm angry with the post-it."...And while he was walking away, I said out loud.."I'm angry at you 1%"..and he laughed. Er......??? By the way, in 1 day itself i drank 4 bottles of Fruit Tree juice. Here's the photo to prove it.


Friday, 26th January 2007...
Finally, my favourite day of the week!!! I guess every schooling and working people will be looking forward to this day. When I came, Rina and her 2 friends were there already. FYI, her previous friend who came last week was so called 'fired'. Boss thinks she can't do the job and decided to terminate her. She got 2 more friends to join as telemarketer but they not doing BIL but selling water filters...Before lunchtime, I got 1 appointment. And since then, I got none. Shih Hui on the other hand was doing pretty well. She ended up making 4 appointments! I'm proud of her because she's really serious about the job..By the way, on Wednesday, after we finished work boss told us that he was not happy with us cause we only made 25 submissions in January. He added that it was really low and stuff. SO, he told us that from 25th Jan - 31st Jan, if we can make 75 quality appointments, he'll treat us to lunch at his wife's restaurant. I admit it's insane but I just have to agree with him and tell him yes we can get 75 in 5 days. I mean, it's really crazy of him lah! Honestly, we seriously can't force people to take up this loan if they don't want to right? No matter how many times you force them, it'll never work! But he kepts saying that we should be positive and s**t...WHATEVER! TO him right, every minute, you must keep making calls...and it can get really irritating sometimes. Wait a minute, it's irritating EVERYTIME! Oh well..I don't really care so much about that lunch in the restaurant. If he's really sincere, don't need to wait for us to get 75 appointments right? Plus, I'm once again going on a diet again! I've been running on the threadmill everyday for 20-30 minutes and doing sit-ups and push-ups. I'm trying not to eat too much.

Saturday, 27th January 2007...
I woke up really late today..My colleague, Kak or apparently, Makcik Nadya, came to my house cause we were giving her my old computer. I know some people would think I'm being hypocritical but hey, I think she's not what we thought she was! I mean, she's seriously funny. When we got to her house, we karaoke-ed for a while. But I must say, her singing voice is quite funny-sounded manly! It's deep lah. After that, we went to Orchard Road cause I wanted to get new clothes from TOPMAN! My favourite brand! I got a sweater, a jacket, a pair of jeans, a belt and a tie! I spent about 170 buckeroos! It was supposed to be from my pay ar but it wasn't enough. So I had to pay by NETS using my mum's card. I told her I would pay her back after I get my 2nd pay which will be in about 2 weeks time! Can't wait! I guess right, I shouldn't really judge someone if I don't really know them in detail. I mean, whatever my other colleagues thought of Nadya is quite bad ar. Sometimes, she does say the wrong things and stuff. But, I guess, we should stop gossipping about her. I know I can't tell this to my other colleagues. I think I should as far as possible, avoid talking about Nadya behind her back. Not just her, anyone! I guess it's something that we sometimes enjoy doing. And I'm not afraid to say that I have talked bad about someone behind their backs. It's just part of life. It's sinful, but still we enjoy doing it, don't we?

Anyways, the following is something I got by subscribing the Tyra Banks newsletter. I've been wanting to post this for weeks but kept forgetting. SO here it is:

Hi y’all,

Remember that $200 face cream I bought? Well, I had to stop using it because it broke me out. I had pimples on top of pimples. The kind of pimples that feel like there is poison underneath your skin. The kind of pimples that feel ALIVE!!!

What a waste of money! The queen of cheap (that's me) should've known better.

Most of my pimples cleared up, but there's still one whitehead left on my forehead.

I guess I've learned my lesson: Stick to the cheap face cream I've been using for more than 10 years. There is no magic in a bottle.

Much Love,

Tyra



PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE MESSAGE YOU READ WAS NOT MADE UP BY ME. IT'S REALLY FROM TYRA BANKS HERSELF!

I LOVE TYRA BANKS! She's really pretty and funny! I just watched her movie 'Life-size' opposite an/a 11/12 year old Lindsay Lohan. Basically, if you don't know 'bout the movie, it's actually bout Tyra, being a doll called Eve who came to life by accident. Lindsay plays Casey. She wanted to get her dead mother to come back by doing some magic but instead, the magic worked on Eve, a doll who was losing popularity. It's a nice movie to watch with the family because it's the cliched heartwarming and blah blah blah kinda story.


I also watched A Walk To Remember. Starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. This movie was out in 2002. I know I'm really slow to only review it now. But hey, I didn't really understand it before. I felt it was too mushy. But it's really sweet. Mandy Moore plays Jamie Sullivan, the reverand's daughter and Shane West plays Landon Carter, a high school dude who's just the totally opposite of Jamie's character. They fell in love somehow and then tragedy sets in. Anyone who's in love or not in love should watch this! You can get this on VCD or DVD!


I'm gonna end my post..but I'm gonna leave you with what Professor Haikiroyonotosan from Class 95 said:
"Never marry for money because you can borrow it at a cheaper rate!"
Perhaps I should tell that to the people I call...

Anyways, have a great day!

so much drama, so little time!

Hey...
Sorry to keep you guys who read my blog waiting. I've been busy with work for the whole week that I haven't got time to update. As usual, there were so many things that happened but I can't remember all of them. Let me just try to write what I can remember. Hmm...

Monday, 15th January...
I hate Mondays...didn't feel like waking up. Let's see...It was fine. To my surprise, when I arrived at work, Jack and Nadya were already there. Usually, they're the ones who are always late. I arrived at about 10.05am. It was on purpose. I like to walk around the areas of Tanjong Pagar Plaza before I start work. We didn't get new lists of numbers so I had to recycle my old lists. When it was lunch time, boss was talking to Jack. I heard boss saying to him 'You come in late and go home early' or something like that. Anyways..before we left for the day, boss talked to us..as always.

Boss: I noticed you guys have been coming later and later. Last time you came first and I felt so malu(embarrased) cause I made you all wait. But now what happened??
Me: *thoughts* like duh..who wants to go early...I mean I should lah..but sometimes, the train is just packed lah!!!

Then he told us that we should be motivated and crap. He said that Jack is always motivated when he comes to work. Like whatever!

Tuesday, 16th January...
I can't remember what happened before lunch. But while I was at BK having lunch, Rina sms-ed me. She said Jack was terminated yesterday(Monday). We were shock and happy lah. I mean, at first boss praised him but then he's fired?? So when we went back to office, Kiren asked me to ask boss about Jack. I can't really remember what he said. But it's something like...'He's supposed to be the team leader but he don't have the qualities so I can't keep him in the company'...Till now, we still don't know when Jack got fired. During lunch? or..after that long dreadful speech before we left for the day..

Wednesday, 17th January...
I remember there's people who came for interview today. There was a man about in his 50s who came. Usually right, when people come for interview, they have to fill up a form. But this uncle, he skipped that and asked my boss whether what we're doing is like legal. Or something like that. I mean..I was supposed to be busy right??
After that, we kinda had a discussion with our boss. We confessed about what we weren't happy about with work and the people. I shall not say more. In the end, we slacked throughout the day.

Thursday, 18th January...
Today, boss added some new incentives.
5 appointments made=$15
7 appointments made=can go home early at enytime
8 appointments made=$30 + go home early(usual $25)
10 appointments made=$50 + go home early(usual $35)
Cool eh?? Well...I made 8 appointments. Well...sorta...I didn't fake any...I think.
But in any case, I still get my money and my off day. But then, before we left, Ryan checked the leads I made. He said mine wasn't genuine cuz I wrote there 'Must check accounts first, confirm next week' and 'Confirm in Feb'. I told him..'But If I let them go now, I can't get them again right??' It's okay if you can't really understand what I said. But he said he'll let me off. Phew~!
By the way, it was raining that day. Any you know what? It was flooding outside my workplace. I have the photos to prove it...


See that cab? It was stuck there for about 30 minutes I think. The water covered half of the taxi's tyre!

Friday, 19th January...
I had to wake up 1 hour earlier than usual today cause work started at 9am. It was special cause Ryan told us we would be having a 'challenge'. We've been told that we would get new leads(I like to call it lists of numbers though) so we can sure make a lot of appointments. We would be challenging with Ryan and Mayna. But in the end, both of them came late (about 11.30 or something..) So there was no contest at all. Oh, I forgot, the contest is to see who can make the most appointments. On our way to work, Kiren came up with lots of names for the contest. 'Telemarketing Idol', 'The Amazing Calls', 'Survivor: Outwit, Outcall and Outlast' and a few more.
In the end, I made 8 appointments! We went home at 2pm cause at 3pm, there was training for the door to door sales...

Today, Saturday, 20th January, I just stayed at home. I woke up very late today cause I slept late last night. I cooked fried spaghetti with corned beef. Delicioso!!
Anyways...I'm gonna tell you guys some news, quotes and stuff I heard the whole week from Class 95 Morning Express Show with The Flying Dutchman and Glenn Ong. They're really funny!!!
Every morning they have this:
From the land over the rising sun. Please welcome the honorable Professor Haikiroyotosan(FD)...
One of the things he said was: The difference between genious and stupidity is that genius has it's limits!... Quite true!
Dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire...do you get this one?
What else?? Hmm...I can't really remember them cause it's too funny!!!

Celebrity news:
Lindsay Lohan has entered rehabilitation centre. If I'm not mistaken, she 'enrolled' herself as she says it will do her good cause she cares about her health. Yeah right she should!


Bollywood couple Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai have just got engaged last week! I just heard from the radio today that newspapers in India are warning Abhishek Bachan saying that Aishwarya Rai will bring bad luck to him. This has to do with the horoscope thingy or something. But, the familis have already arranged her to 'marry' a Banana tree before marrying Abhishek. Er..Imagine that!


Britney Spears is rumored to be pregnant again! But is it K-Fed's child? I'm not sure. She just can't stop can she?

They look so sweet right?? Haiz..hope they'll get back together.

Justin Timberlake has broken up with Cameron Diaz. Finally! But he is now rumored to be dating Scarlett Johannson...Gosh...=((

Anyways..Gotta go now.

See ya real soon!!!

So much to update, so little time...

Hello Happy People!!!!
It's been about a week since I last update my blog..so there's really so much to talk about. Actually right, I have forgotten all the things that I wanna tell all of you so I'm just gonna write what I can remember...
I didn't tell you guys that we have this new staff in our office. I can't mention his name though. I guess he's such a lazy bum lah..He comes to work late, and goes home early. He's not doing telemarketing but doing door-to-door sales. He's supposed to be doing door-to-door but I keep seeing him in our office everyday..sometimes, he don't even come to work AT ALL!!!! By the way, last Monday, we got our pay!! My pay for December is only $324 but I'm happy =)! Though you might say it's very little, but can you really earn that amount of money by staying at home?? Oh, I've also changed my table. I was told to sit facing the window because that new staff needs space to do his work on my table. Since then, me, Kiren and Bing Rong could not stop laughing lah! Actually, Bing Rong didn't laugh that much compared to me and Kiren. We were being very lame. Making fun of almost everything and everyone. Like...



PATRICK!!! This was actually a balloon given to Kiren by his girlfriend. The air is gone so I pasted the airless balloon on the window. So,everyday, while making calls, I have to face it! Apparently, Kiren says Patrick's bottom look like someone's head! Someone in our office that is. SHHHHHHH...enough said. For the few days, we were laughing and laughing and laughing! Work became fun!!!

Oh, yesterday, Nadya, our most senior staff invited us to have lunch with her. During lunch,....

Nadya: Eh, you all know ar..I went to this Jurong Shipyard you know..When I go there, about 20 bangla men look at me! Then I see the boss, very handsome like Shah Rukh Khan so I say never mind lah.
Me: *thoughts* My God lah..she already told me that before lah..

Apparently, she already told me this story before. She even told Kiren twice before and at first it was Sembawang shipyard and now it became Jurong Shipyard.

Then we have this officer from Standard Chartered Bank called Mayna. But she calls her Mynah. And the way she pronounces Mynah is so funny lah. She sounded serious but at the same time sounded very wrong. Oh, do you know that Mynah is a bird? Just saying cause some people might not know. So..I guess, my office is full of colorful and funny people! I have a laughing disease so once I laugh, I can't stop!

Today, Friday, my boss let us go home early if me and Rina can get 5 appointments each. I had to fake some of the appointments lah. And to get my 5th one, I asked Syafiqah for help. She called my office and pretend to be Miss Anne Chua.

Me: Hello, Business Link.
Iqah: Hi. I received a missed call.
Me: Your name ma'am.
Iqah: Anne Chua from S'pore Uniform CO.
Me: Hmm..wait ar..*pretends to search for her name when it's right in front of me!* Oh..I see it. Ms Anne Chua right?
Iqah: Yes.
Me: Oh..I'm calling on behalf of *you know the bank* and I'm offering a *you know the loan*. Are you interested in taking up the loan?
Iqah: Hmm...I'm interested.
Me: *Explains all the details* So ma'am, can I get a few details from you?
Iqah: Sure.
Me: Have long has your business been established?
Iqah: 10 years.
Me: Wow...that's very long(sounded really fake). Er..how bout your company's turnover?
Iqah: Sorry?? *question mark, question mark, question mark*
Me: Is it more than 200K? (I didn't tell her what turnover means on the phone cause every businessmen/women knows the word TURNOVER!
Iqah: Yes...about 350K..
Me: *ask her all the other questions*...Ok. So, when do you want the appointment to be?
Iqah: Hmm..next week? Between Wednesday to Friday? After lunch.
Me: Let's make it Friday, after lunch. Your address ma'am?
Iqah: Er..you make it up...
Me: 10, Tuas Tech Park Crescent. Ok ma'am. I'll call you again next week. Bye.
Iqah: Bye!

So..thanks to Iqah, I got to go back 3 hours earlier!!! I went to meet Yami at Jurong Point. Went to eat, and shop. Bought the Lilo & Stitch DVD and My Scene Goes Hollywood DVD. WOOHOO!!! I'm going to stay up till late to watch the movies!!

Enough talking. I wanna show you guys some pictures I took!!!


That smiley was actually a gift from Mdm Yeo for 'O' levels. It's an eraser. It was kinda like a good luck charm to all Physics students. But for this shoot, it was my model. Even Tyra Banks cannot pose like that!


Here's my two best buddies at work! Spongebob and Patrick!!! EHEHEHEHEHE!!!!

That's all for now!! See you guys real soon!!!

ciao!

My office!

Hey..
It's been some time since I last blogged about my daily life..I've been posting about songs, and blogthings stuff that I didn't have time to write about a day in my life..so here goes..

Well..it's the new year and my luck is getting better!(I guess....) For 2 days straight, I have been able to make 5 appointments each day! That's like $30 extra for 2 days! Nothing interesting really happened...Just that I'm starting to enjoy this job cause it's not tiring at all!!! It's very relaxed...I've learnt how to speak to people and how to persuade them to make an appointment with me...it just becomes simple! Ok ok..Enough of the words..here's some pictures of my office..!


This is from the outside. See the opened windows? That's where my office is..It's a shophouse..



This is what it looks like from the inside...


This is how my desk look like...pretty messy huh?

Oh..here's 2 pictures I took while I was with my buddy, Yami..


Look at what God created! RAINBOW!! I don't care about what science have to say about how the rainbow is formed..All I know is God made it!

Alright then...blog again soon..

My Karma

You Have Fantastic Karma

You are a kind, sensitive, and giving person. And all your good deeds will pay off - if they haven't already. But you're not so concerned with what you get in return anyway. You have an innate caring nature - and nothing can change that!

How's Your Karma?
