No no no!

'No no no!' What an annoying phrase. No no no! ARGHH. Some customers haven't got any... Uh. I don't know what vocabulary I can put there in order not to be rude. Anyway.

I have a problem with waking up on time. And always late by 5 - 10 minutes. But I'm early or late also no one cares la.

Was quite energetic in the day, talked to customers, answered their questions, and the like. There was this customer who was super irritating. Ok guys, when you all subscribe to a service, you obviously have to pay right? i-mode is a Value-added Service, like Caller Number Display, VoiceMail, etc. So, you can subscribe to it at $5.25 incl. GST. Next. When you go onto the Internet, no matter using i-mode or not, and you want to subscribe to the news, you of course have to pay right? If you want to read The Straits Times through i-mode of course you have to pay ST to give you the news! i-mode is a service by StarHub! Grr. If this is the case, we'd see either ST or SH toppling down! You think you can have the best of everything? Come on la! You're on this world longer than I am!

I was telling this customer that if you want to subscribe to i-mode, there will be charges involved. And so on. And I came to the point where if you want to subscribe to ST, it'll only be $3 a month, charged to your bill. Pure news, no Classifieds, no Recruits, no advertisements. Only pure news. Just for $3. Compared to your hard copy subscription which can amount to at least $24 a month! $25 to include delivery charges!

No no no!

10 cents a day for news is considered cheap, I told him.

No no no!!!

How to talk sense into Singaporeans like that?

The press has got to earn in some way or the other, i-mode is a mobile Internet service, not a newspaper service!

No no no!!!

Ok, thank you.

I actually slammed the clamshell shut. Felt awful because I've got some feelings for the NEC N411i already. My handy i-mode partner.

No no no!!!

That customer seemed to be some educated uncle you know, English-speaking and the sort. I don't know if my perception is right la.

No no no!!!

Piss me off with this man.

No no no!!!

I'm only pissing myself off.

No no no!!!

Whatever.

I should make a daily count of how many customers mistaking me for being of another race. There were around 3 today already.

Almost made a sale of the Samsung S410i today. But apparently the customer's processing can't get approved because of some outstanding bill or something. It's the phone plus i-mode subscription lo. Sad. So disappointing! Hope he comes back tomorrow and not go elsewhere.

Anyway, MJ alumni band practice is starting this Saturday. Doubt I can make it lo. Sigh. And I really want to go. See how Ju Ling settles her side first, then I try to copy her. Ultimately she's not going to work for Star5, so need to compromise at my side too. You get the idea. They're going to play Mononoke and Anastasia. MONONOKE!! I'm not trying to say that my presence for the band practice is important, but Mononoke Hime will sound extremely bland and empty without the tuba part. Hope that Elroy does go for band pract man. I miss my tuba. My loyal husband (it forced me to be with it at first but currently it's the other way round). I've lost touch I guess. It has been like, two weeks since I last touched it. Ok la not that bad, but it's bad enough! I miss tuba, miss band, miss the music and everything that revolves around it.

How am I going to take part in the so many things when work is hindering me? Should have waited for an office job instead. Sigh. This i-mode thing is pulling me away from my life! I no longer have time to go home and have dinner with my family. Off days are usually planned already. Sighhhhhhh.
