Time passes by very fast. Especially when you feel useful, for a change.
That said, I know why my office is so cold. So that we can keep our cool.
Laaaame, you'll think. But well. Would YOU keep your cool if you get verbally assaulted by strangers for something that is not your fault, and probably yours?
I have old men thinking it's so cool to own an iphone and then they blame us for not informing them of the data roaming option in their phone settings that can be switched off.
And i can remember my first week. On the second day, i felt 'wah lao... Cannot understand the indians at all. Their accent too thick.' Then came the third day and callers from china. Damn demanding these people. Actually just one la. But they also talk damn fast, and i actually have to take a sec or two to process what they say, and mentally slow it down so i can make sense of it.
I realize most singaporeans are actually rather humane. I can't use the word compassionate or forgiving or understanding. What i can say, however, is that majority of them actually apologise after ranting or letting off steam.
Gracious, to a certain extent.
And now, it's back to work. To people who kpkb about one dollar sixty cents.
I know every cent counts, but must so ji jiao meh! People asking for waiver for their 88 dollars or more i understand, cause that is one huge sum. But one dollar sixty cents. You can't even buy a mcflurry with that.
That said, i don't really bring much troubles home. Or maybe, not yet, heh.
