You Only Live Once...

Kana kaopeh-ed by alotta of my frens for being a Red Glove now. Simply because, as they know me, I'm a quiet, anti-social guy. (Since when was I president of the VJ Anti-social club??) Well, I dunno. There are times when I feel like being quiet and alone. But personally, I feel that since we only live once, why not live it to the fullest? Whenever you're in doubt and have reservations about doing something, be it the most ridiculous, stupid, dumbest thing you ever heard, ask yourself this: If I don't do this now, then when? Some things are worth doing, and such things may happen only once in your life. So just do it.
So this will explain why I'm now the Red Glove for BizAd.
Just heard from my fren that he has finally expressed to this girl that he likes. And it turns out that she just got attached 2 days before he confessed his feelings. And he has been thinking about whether to express his love for weeks!! I had told him weeks ago that if he really likes her, then tell her. Wait for what? Wait for when? If she accepts you, then fine and good. If she rejects you, then at least you tried and you won't be kept guessing if she likes you right? I told him: In the end, the decision is yours. As a friend, I can only advice u to tell her now, dun wait. But if you don't want, then it's your choice. Regardless, just remember - don't regret your decision.
Thats very important. Never regret your choice/decision. No point telling my fren now "I told you so". But i dunno if he regretted not confessing to her earlier. Just too bad really.
Then read that weak boy and his gf (yes, its officially public now.) kana slammed by their CO people for being too lovey-dovey and ignoring all the rest during their CO China trip. Let's do step-by-step analysis:

1) Couple = close relationship.
2) So WTF is the problem??

To all those f***ers who bitch and scold them behind their backs, f*** you understand? As my BizAd Boran OG will say: Mind Your Own Business. Enough said.
My point is, we all live once. If weak boy & gf (they are hereby a singular, not plural. Lol.) dun lovey-dovey now, then when? When they 80 years old and all those assholes die liao, can't see, can't kaopeh then lovey-dovey issit?
So to all my frens or anyone who reads this: In Life, give it your best shot - you only have 1 chance anyway.

And So It Begins

Its so very weird. Technically, I belong to the NUS Fac of Engineering. But, as it turns out, I'm more BizAd than Engineering. But actually I also belong to both facs la, but my 'main' fac is engineering. -_-"
The thing is, for the past 2 weeks, I was involved in the BizAd Ragging. (Read: Sai Kang) I was pulled in by our now very social Qinyao and became part of his OG (Orientation Group) even though i DID NOT attend the BizAd Orientation Camp. (Now kinda regret, but wat the heck.) The people there are fun, crazy and onz. BUT, I also never attend Engineering Orientation Camp, so kinda fair rite? Any Boran-ians who happen to see this: Ah, see, I very fair one. And I never join BizAd Rag for any vested interests k?? Lol.
But ok la, got to know alotta people in the BizAd community. It helps that my name is so easy to remember. So very easy, just intro myself: Yo, I'm JJ. Then can liao. Steady. Then the standard reply: Surname issit Lin?? (Btw, it's No.)
Then best thing is, every year, the Facs will choose a Freshie to be the "Red Glove" aka Leader of the Cheers for the Faculty. And..... I was selected.... -_-" This means I'll be leading the BizAd cheers for Rag Day. Hope the Engineering people dun slaughter me...
And so far, I am 0% involved in Engineering. Lol.
Haiz, school starts in 2 weeks. I'm expecting a damn busy schedule. Will be shuttling between Engineering and BizAd. But at the moment hoping to spend more time at BizAd la. LOL. And plus now that I am bizAd Red glove (issit red glove?? or issit some other term??) I have to spend more time there... -_-"

Good Customer Service Lesson #2

Customer came in and bought alotta stuff. Then after she paid for all her stuff, she asks, "This cloth can be used for polishing the violin or not?"
Crap, why she never ask the sales staff before she buy? Anyways, "No, this cloth is for polishing brass instruments."
"Huh? That means I buy wrongly la. Can you go ask the sales staff what cloth can then be used?"
So the helpful me ran over and asked. And I came back and told her, "Mdm, he said use an ordinary cloth will do. Best not to use this cloth." Shit, I should have lied to her that it can be used.
"Like that ah? Then can I dun want this and u refund me?"
"No Mdm, we don't do refunds here. But you can do an exchange..."
So she went to get something else. And after the exchange was done...
"Mdm, just to inform you, we'll have to retain the receipts for our auditing."
"Wat?? Can u give a photocopy then?" Sure no prob. So I went to photocopy.
Now, it is a company policy that only 1 exchange is allowed. ie. for her case, she can't do anymore future exchanges. So I stamped the "No further exchange" stamp on her receipt and passed it to her.
"Wait a minute. You stamped here: No further exchange. Does it mean I can't do any more exchanges in future??"
"No mdm, can only exchange once."
"But this is RIDICULOUS!! Why can't I?? Where does it say??" Then she went over to our company policy list and started pointing. "Where? Where? Doesn't say what."
"Well, Mdm, cos for an exchange, by right I'm supposed to retain your receipt. So if you don't have your receipt, you can't do future exchanges right??"
"This is RUBBISH!!! Don't give me that sort of LAME excuse!!"
"Well mdm, the thing is..."
"That's NONSENCE!! That is a TOTALLY LAME excuse!!! Look, I'm a LAWYER and I'm telling you this is rubbish k? This is totally ridiculous! I'm going to complain to CASE!!"
"Er, Ok mdm. Thank you. Bye."
For the benefit of others, I shall abstain from cursing and swearing here... BUT WHO THE F*** SHE THINK SHE IS???!!! Knnbccb. Screw you understand?? Lawyer big F***? I don't give a god damn about any f***ing lawyers k? Complain to CASE la, I leaving Yamaha anyway, so wat they gonna do, SACK ME? I dun give a damn about Yamaha nor do I give a damn about her. Now you understand why foreigners say we Singaporeans are too proud? Cos of b****es like her.
One thing I like working at Yamaha is I get to meet all types of people, good or bad. And I like meeting this type of f***ed-up customers. They piss me off bad enough to motivate me enough to one day be bigger than wat-the-f***-makes-you-think-you-so-big so that I can make them take their own Big, Fat Pride and shove it up their asses. My policy is Never, ever, look down on anyone, and never, ever, think you are so f***ing great.
Cos u never, ever, know when u kana some guy like me who completely HATES these type of shit-people...

Big Plans

1 More Month and Uni starts. I'm supposed to be excited right? Well.... Not quite.... Maybe thats why my frens all sign up for the orientation camps - to get excited and to meet new frens who will make the next 4 yrs exciting for one another. And me? I don't know. I'll just stand by and watch.
Recently I've been thinking about my future. For those who know me, this is kinda hard to imagine simply because I'm the happy-go-lucky type who lives for the present. The furthest future I thought about is probably the next day. 1 year? 5 years? 10 years?? Nah, dun think too much.
This is why some girls I know say I have no "An Quan Gan" ie No Sense of Security. Probably cos I'm too small size. Prob cos I dun plan enough. Prob cos I laugh too much and take nothing seriously. I dun know, u tell me.
So anyway I was thinking about my future. What do I want? Who do I want to be in future? The worst thing is, despite all the thinking, I still can't grasp anything. I try to see my future, all i see is darkness - nothing. But I firmly believe that we have only 1 life, so must live it to the fullest. So must dare to try. Try anything. I'll die trying than die with nothing.
So hence, now I must go and plan. Plan my future... Plan what I want...
Realised that my past few entries have been uncharacteristically serious... No crap.... Will try to improve on that... this few weeks really very tired. No mood to crap also.
We'll see...

Winds of Change

It has been weeks since I last posted. But really busy these few weeks, so too bad. Anyway I'll be quitting Yamah soon, so will be quite free for the last 2 weeks of July before scholl starts. Actually I have thought of staying on at Yamah even when uni starts, so that can earn my own pocket money, but then again, I don't work at Yamaha simply for the money. Work for the experience. Try working in customer service and you'll realise why nobody likes it. And since I'm more or less quite comfortable with the Yamaha job already, it's time to move on. My perception now is that you must constantly change your environment so that you can learn more stuff, so no point staying on in Yamaha when I more or less know everything there and am getting used to it. Time to change. Can't get used to something too long.
Anyway, talking about change, I found out that alotta frens join in the uni orientation camps and are having lots of fun. I think we VS gang sort of made some tacit agreement to make a conscious effort to be more social in uni, and not anti-social like during JC days. I think the fundamental reason is just these guys wanna get a GF, after being inspired by SOMEONE in our gang who is the 1st to get attached. So u read Jiesheng's now-so-happening blog about his OGs. And people like Kendrick, Ho Teck and Qinyao hanging out with their OGs all the time now. I mean can you imagine Qinyao clubbing away at Club Momo?? o_O Lol.
But where I'm concerned, I personally did not join any Orientations. But I'll be joining the orientation week la, which is basically orientation Part 2. I dunno. Am very tired now. There are days when I wake up and just feel like sleeping the rest of the day. Orientation is fun. From my frens' various exploits, I'll reccommend those who still have a chance to go ahead and participate in the various Orientations, esp those going NTU cos I heard the NTU orientations are like late July.
As for me, well, to my dear frens out there enjoying their OGs etc, do keep blogging k? I'll have fun reading your fun...
