Lesson Learned 2.015

You learn something new everyday.

I sure learned a lot about myself in recent weeks.

that I am not a complete arse.

LOL

Last Monday I learned that Chinese beliefs that its bad luck to right your name in red ink.

I forced a customer to sign our acknowledgment form with a red ink pen. 
She asked me hesitantly whether I have any other colored pen beside the red one that I just lend her. I told her 'no' and she briefly said to me that there's a 'pantang' for them to write in red ink. I was like, 'Oh' and nodded but I was very malas to go to my table to retrieve a different colored pen thus she, ever so reluctantly, signed and with a very obvious pause, write down her name (although she wrote it bersambung2, very unclear) too.
When our transaction was done at the counter and I returned to my table, I straight away told my colleague about what just happened and the colleague, who is also Chinese, told me about the beliefs. and I felt guilty. Like, what if the customer met an unfortunate event after what I just made her do?
Now, I know I don't really belief that but I was guilty all the same and since what happened can't be undone, I do the next logical thing. I put 5 blue colored pen at our counter so that what happened with her won't have to happen to the next person.

I maybe a skeptic but she has her beliefs too. the least I can do is to respect that. 

So, 
Lesson Learned: always bring blue colored pen when attending customer for signing acknowledgement. 
I normally do but i don't know why I didn't that day and had to resort with the red ink pen I saw on the counter. hmm.. sorry, customer. I will try my best not to let that happen again. *scout honor*

Lost in a February Song

Hellow guys!! *waves*

I miss you. I think.

LOL

It had been a busy January. what's with my Singapore trip and then when I came back, it was month end at work again. -.-

Plus, I just reformat my laptop and it is now ...empty! YAY!

I can download more useless things again! another 'YAY ME!'

hahah

Anyway, I will be posting up Singapore trip and also some CerPen (short for Cerita Pendek which direct translate into Short Story) that I wanted to share here. No, it's not fiction. it's real story plus my two cents of the story of course. It is my blog, is it not? ;)

as always, I promise you that the post won't be up soon. You know me lah kan? Rajin sangat. hahah

Everything is new on my laptop right now so..I'm still trying to figure out things. So, aside from my laziness, this 'getting use to' phase will definitely slow things down with the posting too. :)

this post might not even have a picture when I'm done with it. 

or is it?

muahahaha

Merchandise

I asked myself, "macam, mikin tua mikin menjadi2 tah plang?"

SHINee World 3 audio cd, SHINee Calender, SHINee sticker and f(x) Luna amblem.

ahahaha

but I guess, I am allowed. or I allowed myself to. because when I was younger, obsessing over Westlife, I hardly can afford any Westlife merchandises. So, now, having earn my own money, I'm spending money on my SHINee. LOL

this post is not good for kids/high-schooler. don't read too much here guys! Don't waste money like I do!

but I mostly buy stationery sets, so I've been using most of them. Coz, bila jua lagi ku kan makai kn. Sayang jua di bali tapi inda di pakai. atu baru membazir. hahaha 
FLASHBACK
I once bought a Me to You pencil case and bag during Upper Six and only used them once. After i found a stain, I didn't wear them again. a couple of years later, when I was cleaning my room, I found them wrapped up clean in a plastic bag but seeing as I was a working person by then, I know I couldn't possible use them anymore. So, I gave to my little cousin instead. 
END OF FLASHBACK
Point of the story is make good use of all the things that you bought. at least you won't feel any regret when it's time to let go coz you already used them well. or something like that. OR in my case, I won't be too old to finally use my 'younger' things. you know?

Anyhoo,
these are just half of the items I bought. some more is coming. *laugh like crazy*
No.
actually it's not very funny. 
I mostly bought stationery sets (the other half that hasn't arrive) with the expectation that I'll be needing them for when I attend school this year. Even bought Luna and Onew emblem so I could attach them on my school back.
but seeing as that won't be possible unless I obtain another A lvl, I guess I'll just have to make use of them at the office. 
hahaha well, maybe NOT in the office. I could try and attach those emblems on my new purse. I don't know. We'll figure it out somehow. I won't let them go to waste.

oh well, what's done is done~

. . .

Yay me!

I finally bought a new phone.

iPhone 6 plus. 

yay me!

and a little behind the scene story.

I actually bought the casing a couple of months before I buy the phone. 


LOL

these arrived late december.

while this arrive the day I bought the phone.

xD 

there's two more coming. so total i bought 6 phone cases from eBay before I bought the phone. hahaha I was right, "btw the time i bought the phone, i already have the casing". ;)

a/n: the last time I bought a new (secondhand) phone was in 2011. So, this is a nice change for me; a true new phone. xD
