today, i was happily peeping at strangers' smsing on the train again. it's really a joy trust me, especially if they're conversing with their bfs or gfs. :D strange things people say...
anyway, this victim of privacy invasion by me was this guy.... actually i didnt even get a clear look at the msges but im quite sure his friend sent something like "very pek chek (i.e. frustrating)..." there was more but i couldnt read in such a flash. i suppose his friend was complaining about something that he/she could not manage and was most likely looking for some words of encouragement. logically and instinctively, one would just give him/her the satisfaction of some sort of reassurance the person is fishing for. anyway, guess what the guy's reply was?
"Learn to manage." In exact phrasing. i remembered, cos the msg was just this short.
wtf. wtf. -_-"" if i were his friend, i'd beat him into pulp the next time i see him. oooohkay fine it might be a good thing that he's not pretentious or whatever (since i personally do not like people to say things they dont believe in just to make me feel better as well). but at least, have a heart and not be so curt in the delivery.
if there's one thing i cannot stand more, it would be curt replies. thats no doubt one of my biggest pet peeve. seriously, i would rather you have not replied at all. sure beats trying to tolerate your bad moods please. however i know of many many many people who cannot seem to bring over any form of emotion into their texts (wont you agree with me that this happens mostly with guys?), but in real life they're not like that. so its quite strange to me.. haha. so please.... be lively if you ever sms me ok. i will reciprocate i promise!!! seeeeeeeee exclaimation marks! because i've had it with people who acts like i owe them my life or something and i know it doesnt feel great!:D
okay it's raining again.
honestly what is wrong with putting emotions into text messages or emails???? dont you want your smses to shout you? lol. i think i will really struggle to contain my emotions when i try to email at work in the future. haha, i heard from my sis that she stopped trying to be tactful and friendly (she's one of the best people to msg btw) cos noone bothers to do the same. so she hopped on to the "Best Regards" bus and apparently things get done better cos the agenda's set out. sounds bossy, but effective. sighhhh..
what's up with best regards man. why do people even use it. it's the single most pretentious phrase to end off an email with. i could settle for a Thanks!, or cheers... better than this stupid act formal phrase. best regards is literally, a slap to the face. you know what i read when i see that everytime? it practically means heck you can die for all i care.
its just sad that formality is how we judge professionalism to be. come on, its important in the corporate world to establish good relationships and networks. so it's time to introduce some smileys and exclaimations marks and CAPS LOCK if necessary. i will start the trend!:D
ooooh christmas celebration tmr at the finance department. i hope im invited LOL. i wanna win the upapa!!!

random thoughts from work
in case you guys dont know that im back in the working world.. well, i am. haha. back to the data entry days and the nostalgic feeling of dreading every work day, not wanting to go to bed cos you know when u wake up its time for work again.
oh well, everything is a new learning experience. a good exposure. 4 days in, here are some random stuff to share, in point form so as to be abit more light hearted and not too lengthy
1. i reaaaaally dont wanna lose my eyes to the computer
2. i might develop an accent soon.... with prolonged exposure to all the expats in the firm. would be better if i could talk to them... but i dont. lol
3. it's impossible for HR to be strategic... at least not right now. what was BH226 about again?
4. why are old ladies in a particular department especially (guess which one!!) grumpy?
5. i eavesdrop on every conversation that reaches my ears, big and small. they entertain me.
6. it feels weird typing on my nice keyboard after using the laupok compaq laptop for a week
7. it sucks to be part of the morning rush. AND evening peak hour period.
8. i've renewed, actually no... more like intensified my hobby of peeping at strangers smsing on the train. especially appreciative of sony ericsson phone users. *likes* not much to do on the train....
9. i have a favourite toilet in the office. there are only 2 cubicles, but somehow i always have to go to that particular cubicle because the other one is occupied. i guess it likes me too :)
10. some office people are really quite pretentious.
11. they speak to measley employees (i dont mean myself cos im just too harmless) in the tone that will kill, but a totally opposite behaviour towards the boss or other expats. they are like puppies. tsktsk. barks.
shit im feeling so bitchy/gossippy today. spent over an hour talking bad about celebrities :( thanks to mr shawn ng HF. tsktsk. he's a gossip boy (who watches gossip girls) lah seriously. and YAY i found a potential buddy at work! woohoo. so happie.
hopefully tomorrow iluma wont be packed! altho most likely yes according to mervin. session tomorrow with him muaha. omg turning into a gaming addict or some sort. haiyo.
