wow.
i've actually decided to blog, haha
2 more days to my last day of work
this period of time was erm... enjoyable?
very hard to discribe, cos there were still a truck load of shitty stuffs i got from work to be taken into consideration
until i had the opportunity to work in the society, as in, Robinsons
i've then appallingly realised that, we may all live in the same planet
but inside this planet, there were humans of complete different kind
sounds a bit emo, haha

ok, same old me here: I WANT TO COMPLAIN!!!
it's absolutely contradicting when the typical s'poreans love to queue so much,
and lose their patience almost instantly
really loh! these few days when the queue started forming
you could hear contstant grumbles like "wah... so slow man, they wrap so slow"
sorry loh, we are human beings not machines or robots
we have only two hands not three heads six arms, do you?
and FYI there are also humans queueing in front of you where some may even purchase up to 40/50 huge/tiny gifts
can wait not? cannot nvm, another alternative is to collect wrappers and wrap your own gifts at home
still cannot? dont know how to wrap?
go sit one corner and cry please...

while there are freaks pressurizing you to wrap fast, some would teach you on how to become a perfectionist...
(perfectionist approached and place his purchase on my counter)
me: hi good afternoon, only one item to be wrapped?
perfectionist: yup, only this cosmetic set
(stamped redeemed on his receipt and began wrapping)
perfectionist: erm, did you see a little scotch tape appearing there, the edge there?
me: huh, oh.. ok. i'll remove it for you
me: ok, it's done
perfectionist: mm, can you re-wrap this part? it's like sticking out a bit...
me: erm... ok.. but actually it'll look the same cos there's air inside
(perfectionist attempted to re-wrap that part on his own, taking his oooowwwwwnnnnn swwweeeeeeeetttt tttiiiiimeeee)
me? i just stood there and be prepared to watch a good show as i knew that he would come up with nothing better, HOHO
perfectionist: mmm... i think it's ok. like this will do. oh, do you have any other decoration for my gift? like tags or flower..?
AH HA! i knew you'll ruin your own gift :)
me: im sorry, we've ran out of gift tags. flowers? you mean bows? ya.. we have it.
i put that on for him and that's the end

see, wasting everybody's precious time
if you did notice, he pointed out things like "a little", "edge", "a bit"
if it's a little, a bit, then does it really matter???...

so, we are expected to wrap fast, wrap perfectly
what's more?
yes, MORE
customers, nono, typical s'poreans love to have MORE, MANY, ALOT!!!
me: hi good afternoon
auntyA & auntyB: hi, can we collect some wrappers. we dont want to wait, the queue is so long
(after scanning through their receipts...)
me: sure, can i give you 20 pieces of wrappers since you've purchased 24 items?
auntyA: huh, can give me about... 27?
what? what an odd number
me: oh, if you need that much, the most we can give you is 24 pieces as it is according to the number of items you've purchased
auntyB: 25 can?
me: sorry ma'am, as you have quite a number of small items like earrings, you need not require that much of wrappers. Also, wrappers are given based on the number of items purchased
auntyB: aiya, ok la ok la. you have cards?
me: gift tags you mean? yes we have.
i actually counted exactly 24 of it and pass it to them when normally i'll just grabbed some for my customers
auntyA: can give us 20 more? ytd i bought something then didnt come and collect
WAH! crazy man. you think we're doing charity is it
me: erm, so much ar? if that's the case i'll need to see your receipt in order to give you more
auntyA & auntyB: told you we bought those things ytd loh, left it at home...
me: ok then nvm...
(i grabbed less then 10 of it without them knowing it)
auntyA: oh ya, you all have bags?
me: bags? you mean carrier? yes, we have L, M and S ones
auntyB: ok, then you give me L one 20, S one 30
HUH?! THAT'S ABSURD! 50 carriers... you only have 24 items loh
me: HUH? sorry ma'am we cannot give you that much.
then, both of them were having their own discussion in front of the rest of the customers...
i was very VERY PISSED
meanwhile another customer came up to me asking for wrappers
i literally ignored that fish market and served her instead

alright, that's it
i'll fill you guys in when im able to recall more of these ridiculous incidents :)

oh ya, one more important incident to share here
wanted to blog about it on that particular day but went to watch youtube instead
i served a celeb customer and he is Terence Cao!
haha, he dressed casually but he looked great in person
he approached me together with his parents carrying around 6 bags of Esprit towels and of cos other stuffs
the first thing he said to me was "dont faint, dont faint"
HAHAHA
i suppose he thought that i would faint upon seeing so many bags of gift needed to be wrapped
YES i was near to faint
however, it was because never would i expect that he would be the customer i served
so he left his items with me and would be back in 30mins time
my colleagues on my left and right didnt spot him at all
i cant understand man, maybe they were too busy

when im stressfully wrapping Terence Cao's stuffs
i heard my colleague speaking to a familiar voice
looked up and i saw......... Evelyn Tan!
oh dear oh dear! can you imagine? can you???
by then, most of my colleagues finally recognised that she's Evelyn Tan
all of us were trying hard to stop ourselves from shrieking, or maybe only me la
haha
ting fang was chatting with her about the same church they go to
she's gorgeous i tell you
even so with no make-up and casual wear

fast forward to the climax
boon yan dare me to get an autograph from Terence when he returns to collect his items
instantly i replied i dont dare :D
we were giggling and laughing away when he returned
then i guess ting fang was the one who initiated before we let the chance slip off
so he was like "of cos! you guys helped me wrapped up my gifts, why not"
he signed on pages which were torn out from our communication book
all along he was very polite, he even winked at me oh gosh
HAHA

OKAY! THIS POST IS SERIOUSLY MY LONGEST POST EVER
meeting up with bros after work tml for dinner!
MERRY XMAS EVE IN ADVANCE!!!
huh, wth haha :)
