Updates

Finally I'm Updating My Blog, Kinda Lazy To Update It Nowadays Coz I'm Really Quite Tired Nowadays. Everyday Reach Home Already Feel Like Sleeping Liao.

This Month Is Quite A Busy Month For Us, Not Because The Business Is Exceptionally Good In The Shop, It's Because Of Shortage Of Manpower. I'll Just Summarise The Things That Happened Lately.

ColleagueJ Is Serving His Reservist This Month So He's Not Around For Like 3 Weeks. So This Leaves Us With ColleagueT, ColleagueX, Me, BossD And BossJ. As Everybody Knows, Normally The Bosses Doesn't Come So Early So Which Leaves Us With Me And My Colleagues. Because Of This, Our Offdays Have To Be Planned In A Different Way, Which Means We Can't Have Our Standard Off Day That We Have Every Week.

The First Week Of The Reservist Of ColleagueJ Is Still Quite Smooth. Everything Is Going As Smooth As Planned. No Nothing Special Happened, So We Feel That Everything Is Going As What We Have Planned.

But Problems Came On The Second Week Of The Reservist Week Of ColleagueJ. On Monday, ColleagueT Is On MC Because He Had Rashes All Over His Body, As The Standard Offday Of ColleagueX Is On Tuesday And ColleagueT's MC Is 2 Days. So We Decided To Change ColleagueX's Offday To Thursday. So This Is As Planned.

But On Tuesday, ColleagueX Had Something And He Is Not Able To Work, So This Leaves Me Alone In The Shop Working Only As Both Of Them Are Unable To Come To Work. Because Of This, BossD And BossJ Had To Come Early To Help Me Out As I'm Not Very Familiar With The Work At The Shop. But Luckily There Wasn't Much Crowd On That Day.

Then The Best Have To Happen On Wednesday. BossD Had Chicken Pox. It's Like BEST Lor. Everything Have To Happen In This Period. Then All The Things BossJ Will Have To Settle Fast And Quick Because It's Really Alot Of Shit To Clear. That Was The Worst Period I've Ever Encountered. But Now This Period Of Endurance Is Finally Going To Be Over. Manpower Will Be Back Again.


Last Week Was The Birthday Of A Good Campmate Of Mine. We Knew Each Other During Our NS Days. We Had Quite Alot Of Things In Common Like Bikes, Games And Gundams. That Was The Old Days Few Years Ago. We Were Always Together, Lunch, Dinner, Going Out, Doing Duty And Playing Games. But Nowadays, I Duno Whether The Person Who Has Changed Is Me Or Izzit Him. We Seem To Have A Gap And Distance Between Us. We Just Can't Be Able To Communicate Well.

When He Celebrated His Birthday At Double-O. He Gave Me A Call Few Days Before That And I Didn't Answer His Phone Because I Was Busy. After That Because I Forgot About It So I Didn't Call Him Back. Because Of This He Was Mad At Me. He Asked Everybody To Go Celebrate With Him But Not Me. To Think That We Were Good Friends During The NS Time. Just Because Of Not Answering His PhoneCall, How Emo Can A Guy Get.

Since A Few Months Ago When He Broken Up With His Gerfren, He Seems Liked A Changed Person. He Always Seems Moody And Doesn't Like To Talk. Whenever We're Talking To Him, He Doesn't Seems To Be Listening. Be It Talking Cock Or Giving Some Advice On What He Should Do, He Just Doesn't Wanna Listen.

I Just Duno What He Is Thinking. All Of Us Is Trying To Ask Him To Plan For Himself As He's Not Young Anymore. If We Don't Care For Him We Won't Even Give A Fuck About His Life. It's Because We All Treat Him As A Fren, We Want Him To Be Well. But He Just Don't Wanna Listen To It, He Just Wanna Do Everything His Own Way Which Seriously Is Wrong.

He Is A Person Who Doesn't Really Drink Much But Lately He Keeps Going Clubbing And PUBS. He Keeps Claiming That He Is Unable To Save Any Money It's Because Of The Way He's Using It. If He Doesn't Frequently Clubbing He Will Surely Be Able To Save A Small Amount Every Month Because He Doesn't Smoke And He Seldom Drink. But Whenever I'm Talking About This Thing He'll Become Abit Unhappy.

And When He Claims His Money Is Already Not Enough To Use, He Keeps Thinking Of Changing Into A Bigger Motorcycle. WHAT THE HELL ! He Already Have problems Taking Care Of A SuperFour And He Still Wants To Change Into A Bigger Motorcycle. What's The Point Of Having A Bigger Motorcycle When You Can't Afford It ? TOTALLY NO POINT ! When You Don't Have Such A Big Head, Please Do Not Wear Such A Big Hat. But He Just Cannot Understand It.

Nowadays We Seldom Talk To Each Other Already. He Is Busy With His Stuffs And He Had A New Group Of Friends From SBF Which They Have So Much In Common Like Talking About Bikes. I'm Also Busy With My Work And Other Things As I'm Wanna Start Up Something By Myself. He Has His New Group Of Frens And I Have My Own Things To Settle, Our Friendship Is Getting Thinner And Thinner. But I Just Want Him To Know I'm A Friend Who Really Cares For Him.

Ok Lah, That's About All Lah. Nowadays I Think Whenever I Post, It's All Crap And Nothing Interesting To Read About. Blog Is Such A Good Place For People Like Me To Type All The Crap I Feel Like Saying.

One Last Thing Before I Log Off. Hey, Nili, Sorry Man. Hope You Can Understand That I Cannot Go Over To Esplanade To See Your Performance. Because I Only Knock Off At 8pm So Even If I Reach Home You Guys Would Have Been Gone Already. I'll Try To Make It The Next Time If There's A Performance From You Again.

Logging Off . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Updates

Yup ! Finally I'm Here To Update My Blog Again. Gonna Update Some Of The Things That Happened The Past Week. But Actually Nothing Much.

The Shop That I'm Working At Marina Square Has Finally Ended. 2 Years Of Suffering Has Finally Finished. The Empty And Quiet Shop That I've Worked At Since June 2006. Seriously I Tell You It's Not Because Our Service Sucks Or Our Games Is More Expensive Than Other Shops. It's Because The Fucking God Damm Shopping Centre Seriously Totally Sucks. Seriously Have You Guys Ever Went To A Shopping Centre Which I Can Stare Outside My Shop For Like 2 Hours And There's Nobody Walking Past Me. Yup ! That's The Jialat-Ness Of That Stupid Place.

During Weekend It's Like A Ghost Town Or A Haunted Shopping Centre. Not Even The LunchTime And DinnerTime Crowd Can Save Our Sales. When After The Lunchtime Crowd, The Shopping Centre Becomes Empty Already. When I Say Empty It's Really Empty Lor, You Won't Be Able To See Any People Walking Around. I Can Even Stay In The Shop And Sleep And There Won't Be Any Items Missing.

But The Weekend Crowd For The Place Is Still Ok. Mostly Saturday Will Be Quite Crowded. But Hor Got Crowd Doesn't Mean Got Buying Power. As You All Know Singaporeans Lah, Must See The Price, Ask For Discount, Ask Finish Liao Still Must Consider. Might As Well Dun Ask So Much And Fuck Off Better. Sunday's Crowd Will Be Slightly Lesser But Still Alot Better Den Weekdays. Weekdays Is Seriously Sibei Jialat.

Since The Shop Has Closed Which Means I Can Really Concentrate My Work In The Office And Deliveries Already. I Dun Have To Everytime Reach The Time Den Chiong To Marina Square And Open That Stupid Shop. The Only Good Thing At Marina Is I Get To See My Long Lost SchoolMate, Cindy, And Get To Know All Those Nice And Friendly Girls Working There.

On Thursday I Went To Watch The Andy Lau's Movie, " Three Kingdoms, Resurrection Of The Dragon " With Shun At Tiong Bahru Plaza. Quite A Nice Show Which Says The Story Of The Legendary General, Zhao Yun aka Zhao ZiLong. It Says How He Started To Join The Army And Help Liu Bei In All The Things. It's Quite Nice But There's Quite A Big Change In The Story So For People Who Are Fans Of The Three Kingdoms I'll Advise You All To Just Enjoy The Show And Dun Critisize The Story Too Much.

Yah, And Something To Add On To. There's A Very Cute Girl Working At The Golden Village At Tiong Bahru Plaza. Saw Her A Few Times When I Went There For Movies. Quite Friendly, Cute And Chubby Lah. Dun Believe Go There And See It For Yourself Lor.

Actually For All These, Seriously I Got Nothing Much To Update On Already. My Life Is Getting More And More Boring Lor. If Got Interesting Things I'll Update Again.

Customers = Stupid And Irritating ? ? ? ? ?

My Title Must Be Very Strange Rite. My Topic Title Doesn't Point On EVERY Customers, Only Some Of The Customers That I Have Encountered. Some Customers Are Really Quite Nice, But Some Are Really Stupid And Irritating. I'll See How Many Incidents I've Remembered And I'll Say A Few Out.

1. Asking About Sony Playstation Portable ( PSP ) - The Most Common Problem Encountered.
- Customer : Excuse Me, May I Know How Much Does A PSP Cost ?
- Me : $295
- Customer : Erm, What Does It Consist Of ?
- Me : It Consists Of The PSP Console, One Rechargable Battery And A Charger.
- Customer : What About The Memory Stick ? What Is The Size Of The Memory Stick ?
- Me : The Memory Stick Is Not Included. The Only Things Included Are The Console, Battery And Charger. Nothing Else. Memory Stick Have To Be Purchased Seperately
- Customer : Orrrr, So The Memory Stick Is Not Included Ah ? Then The Game Is How Many Games ?
- Me : Erm, No Games Included. There's Only PSP, BATTERY AND CHARGER ONLY.
- Customers : Oh, So No Games No Memory Stick Included Ah ?
- Me : Yes. Only Standard Items Like PSP, Battery And Charger.
- Customer : Ok, Thanks Alot.

--- This Is The Most Common Case That I Encounter Almost EVERYDAY. It's Not Like Their Stupid Lah, But These People Seriously Need Us To Repeat And Repeat The Things Again And Again And Again Then They Can Really Understand. Such A Simple Thing Also Must Repeat A Few Times Leh.


2. Customer Calling Up To Ask For The Game Devil May Cry 4. Called At Early January But The Game Is Only Being Released On The 31st January.
- Me : Hello, Good Afternoon.
- Customer : Yah, I Just Wanna Ask Do You All Have Devil May Cry 4 In Stock ?
- Me : Erm, Devil May Cry 4 Not Released Yet. It's Releasing Next Month.
- Customer : Huh ? I Thought Devil May Cry 4 Release Date Is On The 31st January Leh.
- Me : Yah, The Japanese Version Is Being Released On The 31st January. The US Version Will Be Released After The Chinese New Year.
- Customer : Yah, I Know. So Do You All Have Stock Now ?
- Me : No. Anyway It's NOT End Of January Yet. It's Not 31st Yet.
- Customer : Oh, OK. Thanks For The Trouble.

-- This One Even More Stupid Rite. The Caller Already Knows The Release Date For The Game Is End Of January And He Can Call And Ask Whether We Have Stock For The Game Or Not. Seriously If You Don't Call This Stupid, I Really Dunno What Are The Words That Can Describe This Action Already.


3. An Uncle Wanted To Buy PS3 But In The End Didn't Buy It. ( Pissed Me Off The Most )
- Customer : How Much Is The PS3 ?
- Me : $559
- Customer : Wah, So Expensive. Got Discount Or Not.
- Me : Sorry, No. It's A Controlled Price By Sony.
- Customer : Please Leh, Abit Also Cannot Meh. $1 Cannot Meh, $2 Cannot Meh.
- Me : If You Really Want Then $555 Lor. But Can Only Pay By Cash.
- Customer : Wah Lau, Why Must Pay By Cash. Where Got Carry So Much Money With Me One.
- Me : If Not By Cash Den I Cannot Do Anything.
- Customer : Why Your Attitude So Bad One. Ask For Discount Cannot Meh, Unless You Tell Me Your Whole Life You Never Ask For Discount Before.
- Me : If You Got Issues With Me Maybe I Can Ask My Colleague To Serve You, Perhaps It'll be Better.
- Customer : Aiya, Nvm Lah. I Just Buy Lah. I Pay By Credit Card Can Or Not?
- Me : Can, No Problem.
- When Customer Is Going To Make Payment.
- Customer : Eh, The PS3 Produce Where One ?
- Me : Made In China.
- Customer : HAR ! Made In China Ah, Not Made In Japan Ah. Den I Dun Want Liao.
- Customer Walk Off.

--- Cheebye ! You Tell Me Lah. This Kind Of Customer Where Got People Can Tahan. Mother Fucker Lor. This Type Is Purposely Come And Find Trouble One. I That Time Nearly Wanna Wait For Him To Walk Out Of The Shop Then Bash The Living Hell Outta This Mother Fucking Knnb Cheebye.


4. Customer Keep Asking For Discount . This One Is A Case On My Colleague And Not Me.
- Customer Holding A Game
- Customer : How Much Is This Game ?
- Colleague : This Game Is $65.
- Customer : Any Discount ?
- Colleague : Sorry, No Discount For This Item.
- Customer : But That Day I Came The Price Was At A Lower Price.
- Colleague : Coz It's A Different Batch So The Price Had A Slight Difference.
- Customer : Since Lydat Den You Give Me At The Price That You Had Last Time.
- Colleague : Sorry, I Afraid Not. Coz A Different Price Have A Different Cost Price, So I Can't Give You The Price For The Last Batch.
- Customer : Then You Tell Me The Cost Price Of The Game, I'll Pay The Cost Price Lor.
- Colleague : I'm Sorry I Can't Tell You The Cost Price. Anyway If You Pay By The Cost Price Means We Dun Earn Any Money.
- Customer : You Dun Earn My Money Is Only One Person Mah, You Still Earn Alot Of Other People's Money Mah. So Can Lah.
- Colleague : Erm, Sorry. Really Cannot. If Not Maybe You Can Try The Other Shops.
- Customer : Aiya, Nvm Lah. I'll Just Pay For It Lah. Can Give Discount For Like $2 ?
- Colleague : Erm Erm Erm, Ok Bah. Since You're Buying It. I'll Just Give This $2 Discount Just For This Time.
- Customer's Fren - WIN LIAO LOR ! JUST NOW YOU SAY CANNOT GIVE DISCOUNT, DEN NOW YOU GIVE $2 DISCOUNT. Salesman Always Tell Lies.
- Colleague ( Showing A Very Pissed Off Face ) - I GAVE THE DISCOUNT BECAUSE YOU KEPT PESTERING ME FOR IT OK !
- Customer : What Kind Of Fuck Attitude Is This, I'm Not Buying It. I'm Gonna Complain Your Shop On The Internet.
- Colleague : By All Means. BYE !

- This One Even More Cheebye Rite. My Colleague Is Those With A Very Good Temper Also Become Pissed Off Lor.


I Really Seriously Wonder Why Singaporeans Must Have This Kind Of Fucking Attitude Man. Sometimes I Myself Also Feel Fucking Disgraced To Be A Singaporean. Really Duno What To Say.

That's All I'm Gonna Post, Type Until Abit Tired Liao. I'll Try To Update More Often. I'm Getting Lazy And Lazy By The Days.
