Every could has its silver lining

Its that time of the week again people!!! Its Saturday night!!! Time to parrrrteeee, get drunk and get wasteeeeeed!!!

But of course, I'm at home as usual...livin my same old uneventful mundane life, and relishing the thought of working tomorrow. Thats right people....you heard me right, "Working Tomorrow" aka...Easter Sunday holidays. Sigh...

However, this night aint that all bad. For I too have something up my sleeve tonight, its....Laundry Night!!!! WooOOOOOOhOOOoOoo!!! If you can only see the hapiness on moi face.

Anyway, today was a crappy day. And thank god, its over. Had so many complain cases today that really pissed me off. One after another, god-damned customers keep on complaining on small minor things that bear no significance. And the worst? FREEBIE-SEEKERS. Freaking cheapskates....one lady even wanted a life time free subscriptions to her post-paid line. Who on earth does she think she is?!?!!? If I wasn't working in this line, I'll give her a bloody good tongue lashing and use a "siakap" and slap the crap out of her....sheesh.

Later on, I attended a briefing today on the new performance standards that will be in effect starting from April. Seems like the company is increasing our performance standards and it will definately have a major impact on the CSOs. More is expected from us, and it will be more difficult to hit KPI (Key Performance Index) requirements. Man, you can be sure that stress level will surely sky-rocket.

Next, things seemed to get even worse. I got a call from my mum later in the afternoon. It was a casual chat but things got ugly when she kinda "reminded" me to send some money home this month. I must admit I kinda flared up. I mean...c'mon, I know my responsibility as a son and I have never failed to send money home every month. I would never in my life let my parents down and they have always been my priority. My mum does not need to remind me on these things. Sigh.....but I guess after the call, I felt guilty about reacting that way. I never should have raised my voice. Looks like I have to call her back later....

So, as you can see I kinda had a real crappy day. But sometimes, I guess life kinda turns around and surprises you. When I got off work, I was sitting around in my office lobby where suddenly a colleague joined me for a chat before I left. In a way, even though the chat was a brief one, I felt really relieved after that. When you're chatting with someone that shares the same wave-lenght as you have....things aint that bad. Not very often you get to have a real, good, meaningful conversation where both parties share the same amount of talk time. And the best part is, the other party understands exactly what you are trying to say. Don't it just irritates you to be in a conversation and the other fella just can't stop yakking? Also, I just hate it when you have to put a constraint on yourself cos your not too sure if that person fully understands you. Thankfully, with this friend of mine, everything was free-flow.

Sometimes, its the little things in life that makes the difference.

Still, it would seem later on the night got better. Was surfing the net earlier on and I saw this ad on a new movie called Sin City. Its actually a comic book adaptation and alot of major stars are acting in it.

Jessica Alba!!!! WooOOOoOHooOoo!! PheeEEeEEEeew-WeEEeEEt!!!!! ~drools~ Aint she a babe? She's my favourite SIN.

:) The day was really full of ups and downs. But still, its just another day. Whatever we do today, or whatever we had to go through, tomorrow will still come whether we like it or not. We have 2 choices, if we have a bad day, we can sit around and cry...or make the best out of it and hope that the next day is a better one. I choose, the latter. No point crying around. The world's not going to stop just for you. The sun's gonna rise, the wind's gonna blow.

Opps....gotta go call me mum now.
