Screwed up at work today.. It's like a super long story. Seriously, don't like it when such stuff happens. Everytime before i go to work, i tell myself that maybe i ought to pop a chocolate just to get some adrenaline high so that i can joke with every single customer and withstand their endless questions about our price list and stuff like that. Hahas but oh well i screwed up the concert package and thought that i sold an extra package so i was like short of one pair of tickets but after all the big HOOHAA.. it turns out that it was miscalculation on my part and there was still a concert package available. It's like SO DUMB ! ~ i was like oh my goodness WAKE UP !!!!!! Even Ben was STUNNED by me. Hahas i can still remember the first time he called me to come back to work, he was like don't cock up ! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHS and like so far, i don't know how many heart attacks i gave him already. Super duper guilty can and it lowers my morale when such stuff happens which in turns leads to a VERY GRUMPY JINGFANG who doesn't have the mood to entertain customers =x The chocolate popping thing seriously feels very viable.
Fuun was quite pissed too because i took quite long to answer the phone today. My reception was like in a mess.. i had like a GAZILLION things to settle; i haven't key in the member number, my check in book was in a mess, money was like in some random corner in the drawer, i had to help cashier to find the bill number while checking in customers and answering phonecalls and Fuun calls. FREAKY !!!!!! And the worst thing of all, downtown is one of the few outlets with late crowd so i was still busy at 0130am *FAINTS. I felt quite sad when she sounded unhappy over the phone and the whole thing sucks because i know she dotes on me. But in the end after awhile she was joking with me again and i was like *BEAMS BEAMS BEAMS BEAMS hahahahahas. PHEW i seriously don't like it when they get frustrated, i like everyone to be happy : )
Ben was super sweet too even after nagging at me. He offered to pay for half of the tickets if i couldn't sell them away eventually because the concert was going to be due next week. He was like i wouldn't let you pay for it alone, i'll pay half for you =) Jingfang floats and the tickets aren't cheap, it's like $128 per ticket. Hahas and a customer who ordered Macallen, came out of the room and asked me to drink with them. I was like panicking can, i so cannot take hard liquor. And Ben was nice enough to drink on my behalf. He promised me that if they come out again, he will drink on my behalf and hahahahahs guess what Ben was made to drink 3 short glass of Macallen NEAT !!!! and yep he got drunk, period. So i was spared from all the vomitting. I feel loved~
I can't explain it but the feeling at Downtown and the feeling at Kallang is like totally different. I don't feel much pressure at Kallang, the only pressure i get is from Fuun. Mr Martin and Mr Sam Poh don't really interfere with recept stuff but at Downtown, its more of keeping the rules and discipline, not so much of fooling around as compared to Kallang cause Ben and Stanley are more strict. I guess to them work is work, play is play so no fooling around during working time.
If you ask me like a month ago if i like Kallang or Downtown more, i wouldn't hesitate to say Kallang. But i guess i'm getting used to the working style of Ben and Stanley and Downtown isn't that stressful. I just hope i can live up to their expectations. The desire to go back to Kallang isn't as strong. Weird isn't it, it has only been a month. I guess maybe the reason that i like Kallang so much in the first place is mainly because of D.D but recently he seems so restless and tired whenever we talk over the phone and we haven't seen each other for quite some time. The other day when he handed me the transfer form, i was like "joking" with him and whining why he didn't circle the 'postpone' option and i guess he really took it as a joke. From the very beginning, i knew kallang was just a training ground and it was a matter of time before i went over to Downtown. i really like the place because he's there and i really like it when he comes over to my reception counter to talk to me, but i guess he couldn't tell, he was like laughing so hard at what i say. He was really clueless. DUMB DUMB~
It was quite a bad day actually but the people who matters made it a lot easier to endure : )
Dear Lord, i really like this job and i hope you will guide me with every step i take. ¶ 5:50 AM

And the circumstances are getting to me.. maybe it isn't a good thing to be promoted so soon.
yep i got promoted, officially recept 1. *PONDERS i always wanted to be promoted, i had a hunch that it was going to be pretty fast this time round as compared to the time at marine but i didn't expect it to be so fast. And my working attitude changed : ( i'm not sure whether its the promotion that changed me or the environment. I'm like super short tempered now, i get frustrated really easily and can't stand it when things are delayed at work. I used to be quite mild tempered and smile all the time. The other day i finally got to go back to Kallang and the servers told me i changed. Sad. I need to do some self reflection.. seems like my pride is getting the better of me. I miss Kallang but i know that i got to stay at Downtown, i don't have a choice and that's why i don't harbour any hopes of going back to Leisure park. Called Leisure park to look for Fuun today and D.D picked up the phone, still the same voice but something seems different. i sense a tinge of awkwardness and lost for words.. People change, don't they.
You answered the phone today but you didn't recognise my voice and passed the phone to Celine. My heart was calling out to you but you couldn't hear it. i felt the heartache, but all i could do was to take a deep breath and sigh~ It hurts with every breath i take.. I miss you so much Jeffrey. I have so much to tell you, so much to ask you, so much to share with you but it's a different world we live in. Where is the Jeffreywho spent an hour simply listening to me, cry ? Where ?

今天是Ben的offday，但是他还是下来outlet处理一些事。 处理后，他留下来唱歌了，东跑西跑的。有一次他拿了beer mug 跑过我的reception counter, 突然间停了。他看着我，然后假装要拿beer mug 丢我。
我看着他，笑着说：“等一下真的丢到我你就知道。”
他就慢慢地走过来对我说：“如果真的丢到你，我会心痛。”
那时我不知道该说什么..
那个傻瓜就自言自语地对自己说：“我会因为beer mug 坏掉而心痛阿！”
(-_-") 真拿他没则..
