When everything is part of convenience

Convenience equates to since you will be doing this, just add that and since u are doing that, just add this. So convenient isn't it. So this afternoon attended another gruesome conference call. Another call which i had to strain my ear to fish out words.

My presence in the conference is not meant. I added zero value to it. So why there. Cos in time to come, i'll be the person hosting conferences. I'm there today and previously cos i need to get a hang of the accent. To learn from the experts on how to deal with the "convenience" user. Though you have someone over the other end trying to lull the users and to translate/summaries their train of thought to us, its still almost useless. The only thing which i sees in this guy is that his accent isn't that strong and that i can understand him.

So convenient isn't it? Well, so we are mean as well. We know you do have the money. So raise it somewhere else and roll out some other time. No convenience.

Terrible. But i won't blame them cos if i'm them, i'll also behave this way. Impt thing now is i got to try harder during next conference call to catch more words. Else my grave is near.

When there are too many accent in one conversation

When there are multiple ppl in a conference call which projects all sorts of accent, my hearing got impaired. All i hear was noise. I could not comprehen a single word coming out. 15 mins into the conference call that i finally managed to catched some key words. But failed to capture any proper sentences.

So when its time to speak, we didn't managed to speak in a Sporean accent. What came out of the mouth was a mixture of the aussie, viet, HKer, indian accent. Its was gross and awful. We looked at each other and laughed muting the speaker phones.

I thought i was the only one not being able to catch a single thing out of the 1 hour plus conference call. But i was wrong. Even the long timers had a hard time fishing out the words. So the conference wasn't a very pleasant session after all.

Moral of story, never have conference call with multiple ppl with all projecting different accent in a upheated conversation. But the fact is that my ears will still be punish tomorrow cos i still have another session to go.

Tick Tok Tick Tok..

Waiting for the old grand father clock to tick itself till the time i can step out of this old building. It doesn't really hold much memories for me and i can't really be bothered as well. All i'm concern its i need to step out of this god damm stuffy room to the outside and look forward to tomorrow's new location.

The level is the host for almost 400 of us..and my seat number 276. Dun ask me where i do not know where and which corner of that space my table is located at. Was told to be prepared cos the table isn't as big as expected.

30 more mins to the so call packing time.

Down goes the Aircon

So the aircon started to went down a week ago till today its almost gone. Management didn't apparently did anything to restore the air con cos we are going to move out tomorrow. Meaning i still have one day to suffer.

No aircon makes me grouchy. No mood to work. No mood to look at codes..No mood to refresh J2EE. No mood to do anything! Its so so much cooler in the toilet then in this room!dunno why for some reason they build a panel of glass outside the window and its like blocking the air. Its so stuffy. There's like 30 odd ppl in here and they just provided 2 fans..So pathetic. Sigh.

Grumbles...going to leave on the dot today again. Life sucks with the warm weather. I wonder why didn't one of the election topic be making SG into a aircon capusle. At least i'll be happier and need not suffer from the global warming!

Curly curls.

So i've gotten a new hair style. I went to curl my hair on sat. Ha. Spend a bomb on it but its still relatively cheaper then if i did it in Spore. Met my colleague and her BF at 9 am outside coronation plaza, hop on bus 170 and we are into M'sia. By 1130 am, i'm comfortably sitted on the chair in the salon. Heart slightly pounding cos its the first time i'm curling and i'm afraid it will turn out like maggie mee.

So the entire process started. First was treatment, then wash hair..cut..and after that comes the scarry part. The perm. First she applied dunno wat thing on my hair, then left it for dunno how long, the followed by putting on the curls..soon after my head was like an alien head with lots of cables sticking out. The cables were then attached to a machine. Then my head started to become hot. The machine was left on my head for 20 mins before it went off. I continued to sit there for the next 20 mins to wait for the curls to dry off.

After that, the curlers were removed from my head! i got a shocked of my life! ha ha..my hair was like maggie meee...my hair was shorten by super alot! Then the guy kind of told me..dun worry..its not done. Has yet to put the chemical which will kind of straighten it out to big and medium curls..then i was kind of relax abit..After the chemical set in and after the wash, the end product was kind of nice. Hee...thats when i kind of ease off a bit. Was kind of happy to see the end product.

So today its the first time i washed my hair since then. Dunno why, i can't seem to be able to do it as nicely as wat the hair stylist did for me..Hmm...i bought hair wax for perms as well. I'm hoping at least the perms will last for at least 6 months? I'm getting paranoid as well. Kept on thinking that the curls are like straightening out. Ha ha..

Happy happy. Can't wait to try the new hair wax out on my hair tomorrow morning!
