me:(moves away from his rude pointing) you have a qns?
man:how much is the postage?
me:26cents will do.
man:huh? how do I pay that amount?
me:as it is, 1cent is still legal tender.
man:so if I pay you 30cents, what do I do with the 4cents?
me:there's a donation box. you'd deposit the change in it.
man:all my life, I NEVER DONATE!
me:that is just a suggestion of cos. It's alright Mr (Scrooge). You pay me 25cents. I'll donate 1cent to you.
man:good good.
me:It's not my first time making such desecration. You may stop pointing your finger in case it gets broken the next moment.. hahahaha
man:oh err sorry miss.

My customer after him was amazed how I handled the rude man. He told me he thought I'd really give that scrooge the change and see what will happen. He was also ready to come into our conversation. As much as I appreciated his initiative, I shared that it is not an isolated case and this job indeed put me thru tests of patience.

There was technical failure of 2hours and it was a day infested with grumpy customers complaining about just anything. I was so hungry when we knocked off. My BM commented that I probably had wasted a whole lot of energy dealing with today's difficult customers. I ended up cleaning the office cos I was starving and couldn't head home for dinner that soon. It was my way to distract myself . The best part when I got home, my mum assumed I'd be out for dinner and she didn't cook. Oh man.. what a day!

exams over

Exams are over. The semester went by swiftly. The papers drained my mental power considerably. I tried my best and I know results will not be academically fulfilling. Apart from the after-exams motto "Fuck it cos it's over...", I'm just leaving it all in the hands of God. I realised I'm not receptive towards failures. I kept contradicting myself with hopes of getting thru without the need to take supp papers, yet being mentally prepared for the worst. Actually the papers weren't so bad. Whenever I sit for exams, I suffer from mental block. I forget almost everything I studied. Now that I'm having my term break, I feel so free and it's devastating to waste time idling! Lucky school starts next Saturday, I'd be able to occupy myself with read-ups and managing time between work, school and time for my love ones.

Shopping Sunday

It feels like a long weekend. No work on Mon, Wed and Fri.. is just heavenly eventhough I'll be sitting for exams in the evenings. Since weeks ago,I'v been telling myself to study. Excuses reasoned my failure to actually prepare myself adequately for my upcoming papers. Delivery of my new refrigerator made me cancel study plans with Hiddy on Wednesday. Thursday, Phil and I had dinner at Popeye's before we found ourselves dropping by Tampines One minutes before the new mall close. Good Friday had me laughing over plenty of joys while studying with Ophelia. I was actually having more fun chatting up with her rather than focusing on the notes I brought. Saturday, I thought I'd study. Initially I believed throwing tantrums cos I've yet to recover from the feverish flu will lead to at least some serious studying. It proved otherwise when I met Phil. We decided to chill at Downtown East for movies. It's become quite common for us to watch 2 movies in a row. We caught 'Taken' before 'Fast and Furious4'. We enjoyed observing people playing games and the crowd waiting for the Dragonforce concert to begin. We had supper at Simpang Bedok's HongKong fare afterwards. Came home late as Mama requested since my nosey cousin was staying over for a night. Sunday's shopping day! I got a pretty bag from S.T. Louis. Sales next door wasn't resisted. I got 2 tops and a skirt within 5minutes. *yayness* Woohoo.. I love buying on impulse. Bags of groceries and my shopping show just how effective retail therapy is. I'm cured. I happily almost forgot I've my exams next week. Tomorrow, it's Marketing paper. I better focus... hmm after I watch a nice episode of drama, I must do the utmost needful. o.o"
