Oh Boogie
Hello!Welcome to www.whispering-bliss.blogspot.com!
It's no wonder that Singaporeans complain about the service sector in Singapore giving bad service. It's this sort of irresponsible dealings that result in this sort generalized image on the entire sector.
People who take urgent leave, or what-so-ever but leave loose ends untied. It's this sort of bloody irresponsible actions that leave the entire service sector shunned upon and abused. Hence, most employees in the service sector feel no longer the need to give extra service, or go the extra mile to serve the customers better.
Hence, the government's campaign to ask customers to recognize and applaud people in the service sector who go the extra mile. Honestly, it isn't just the locals who complain that service is bad. The tourists and foreigners complain that service is bad. Is it justified to implant that one experience of bad customer service to the entire sector? It simply isn't justified neither is it fair.
Furthermore, rather than focus on the people who work in the sector, why not focus on customers as well. A good number of customers treat employees almost as if they were owing them a living. Is it fair to the employees who's pay is just enough, who's work is constantly a repetition of words on every customer? Satisfying the customer's ego, answering questions which were asked on a arrogant note, all these do not make a job fulfiling and worth staying on. Now we know why newspaper have to report on locals shunning the service sector.
Wondered why we needed a be polite, be gracious campaign? Chew on it. Really, it's simply because Singaporeans lack the politeness and graciousness of other countries. Look at Japan's society, it's almost professional. No matter how hideous you are, they won't show you that they think you're hideous. Here in Singapore? They'll say it into your face.
Let's face it, a large number of Singaporeans, and I mean a number large enough for the government to have to tell them that they're inconsiderate, are insensitivie, stereotypes, inconsiderate, arrogant, and stupid. Complete bimbotic snobs who think they're smart. This is what defines Singaporeans.
Thank you soooo much, for throwing us into waters that even you don't know how deep it was. And not caring after being told how deep it was. Thank you soooooo much. Appreciate it a lot. Never thought you would have been that sort of person. Worse than I imagined.
Rather than get angry at all that, I think it's more logical for me to accept things the way they are. Instead of having to go against the flow with elaborate plans that might never work because of my lack of patience.
The ability to exercise discretion is paramount now. In the past I used to be "do then think", that analogy cannot be used anymore. Times have changed. I cannot do that any longer. It will only bring ill effects to my life. I have to slow down, look at the big picture, then plan out my steps. I need to know fully what I can and cannot do.
Never in my life, have I felt this compelled to slow down in my pace of life. I thought things has always been going on perfectly with no wrong notes. Now that the scores have changed with more notes. I'm missing notes that are moving far too fast for me to grasp, forcing me to slow down the tempo. It's time to look ahead at the scores rather hit one at a time while only looking 2 notes ahead.
Particularly with my father, things have changed. Or maybe, most fathers would be like that. If so, then nothing about families have changed. Only the tools of commision have changed. It's not ironic. Just like how the face of war never changes, only the tools of war have changed.
No matter how sick and tired I get, I have to take it in my stride. Just like how cap'n have said it once. "Don't sweat the small stuff".
Things don't always go the way we want them to be. Personally, I've always wanted to do physics since young. Look at what I'm doing now though, I'm doing Law and Management. I wanted too to do History, but I'm not doing anything related to JC material now. All because I took things as they came. I hope I'll be able to set out, to do things the way I want it to be done.
Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be,
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place where we meet,
And you see me waiting for you, at the corner of the street.
So I'm not moving.

When the day arrives, I will wait. Truth be told, I know that day will come. I just know it. Don't ask me how, don't ask me when. I just know that the day will come when I will wait. It's not a gut feeling. This one, I just know. It's primal instinct.
I'm going crazy over trying to string multiple formulas in Excel.
Research is boring. Though some facts and knowledge gained through research can be quite shocking. It is still boring nontheless. I'm sleepy, I'm tired. Yet I still have to slave away at the machine that was bestowed upon me to care for and use. My eyes feel like drooping and my head feels like falling. When will I be able to sleep tonight?
I so definitely should have worked for the whole of last week. I so do not regret it. Now the decision is for me to make as to when to get it. I'm piqued at the idea that it has to be reserved. I'm not too comfortable with it.
I'm supposed to get my hair cut tonight, but I'm too tired to go get it cut. Tomorow, definitely, because tomorow, I have to get my pants. Maybe I should take a break tomorow. Yeah, I'll take a break tomorow. I need to sleep til my brain says, STOP SLEEPING YOU FUMBLING IDIOT. But for reasons apart from the stupid projects I've been losing sleep for, totally worth it.
And to you, my dear friend whom I chanced upon the other day. I don't really quite care what you think about me. Atleast not at this point of time. Because I know you're not exactly doing your job. You're just like Mr.Ong. A man who cares but can't express. The goals are valid but the methods are dreaded. I won't say I don't understand how you feel. But she's growing up, she needs the space to be given to her gradually. It doesn't really make any point to constrict what she does. I understand that you're afraid she might get hurt. But, don't you think that he might be someone whom she trusts, and is someone you can trust too? In my eyes, she's not a girl. She's a lady, a woman. Someone who is independent and knows her own boundaries. Hell, I need someone who can love me and control me, for me. And she's exactly the person who does what's been described. Personally, I don't want to hurt her. Though I admit that my gut feelings keep telling me that I will hurt her one day, I just want to go through with it, because she's the woman I love. I know it's oxymoronic to say that I don't want to hurt her, and that my gut feelings say that I will hurt her one day. But I want to spend my time with her during which I don't hurt her. And even if circumstances forbid, but I still hurt her. Then it's time that I have to be left alone by her. I don't know if you're reading this, but if you are, I hope you understand her situation. She's been through enough, making her go through more will only make her crack. When she does, I hope you don't regret it. As far as it goes, I'll try to save her from cracking. But if she does crack, it'll be your fault, because you never opened up enough. Things that you did, you didn't admit to, you didn't apologize for, you tried to control when it has to be relinquished. Hasn't it been long enough for things to have been this way that you ask yourself that it is time to bury the hatchet and just go forth so that things can change? Even though you know that they can't, you should at least try. So that you won't have the guilt in the future to live with? If you don't feel guilty about it.....I don't know what to say.
Baby, I love you. I will stand by you through it all. It's not fair that you have to go through this alone. So I will be there besde you whenever you need me. Regardless of the circumstances, I promise you, I will try as hard and as much as possible to come to your side whenever I can.
