How on earth did he do that?

Insanely talented beatboxing. Enjoy.

A single’s week…

The week went by as though I’d gone into hyperspace, with a lot of things happening everyday…

Sunday: Discovered new sauce recipe for chicken chop. Also discovered new method of ensuring the skin on the chicken chop is crisp and irresistable.

Monday: Our supplier in UK short shipped radioactive goods to us (without informing us as usual), luckily the customers were very nice and didn’t scold us or force any impossible requests.

Tuesday:  Our supplier for chillers screwed up and almost didn’t deliver on schedule. Its part of a big instrument package deal with the company’s image at stake. Basically the biggest single invoice I have ever billed. I already made arrangements for them to deliver on this day 3 weeks ago, and still reminded them last week to confirm delivery on this date/time/location. On the day itself, called them to find out that they didn’t plan it, and wanted to deliver the next day, giving the excuse that they thought I will call them to reconfirm again, which is ridiculous because I don’t see why I have to double confirm so many times. Spent an entire hour alternating phone calls back and forth to get the chillers to the big customers. Each time we insisted, they tried to talk their way out of it, and to me it was rather unprofessional… they tried to handle the situation themselves, and I think they tried to keep the screw up from the management. I got really fired up, but I didn’t blast them, just told them firmly I’ll want to speak to the manager if they weren’t able to fulfill our arrangement that I confirmed twice. After putting the pressure on them, they called back their delivery contractors to pick up and deliver immediately. Frankly, as a supplier myself, I know that such last minute requests are very inefficient, and nobody likes to do them. I felt for them, yet, I wasn’t the least happy that they tried to evade their mistake and hung up on me twice on the phone. So rude.

That itself already made a bad morning, but then another supplier who wanted to send frozen samples to us repeated the same mistake a week ago when they wrongly declared the address on the proforma invoice… have already told them its not necessary to put customs clearing agent’s address if they’re already going via Fedex. Plus other interrupting requests and phone calls in between the chaos was just irritating and my colleagues could clearly hear my moaning and frustration.

Felt a lot better when the morning ordeal was over and it was lunchtime. Back to normal in the afternoon. Went for MSM class after work.

Wednesday: General manager was in for the week so had lunchtime meeting in the office. Ordered packed Japanese bentos… chose the unagi with sushi. Meeting went fine. Couple of hours after the meeting had to lao sai… bad sushi. Craved Subway again, got a footlong Italian BMT for dinner+supper, went for POA class. Lecturer is the corniest one ever…

Thursday: First time having lunch in an Indian restaurant (Khansama). Service manager’s treat to 5 of us. Food is good… and was reminded of the high content of sugar, fat and cholestrol of Indian cuisine… but once in awhile is ok. After work, had dinner at Hog’s Breath Cafe with 3 of my closer colleagues, my ex-partner T who resigned also came. Had beers after dinner with my colleagues for the first time. Ate and drank a lot… Again… once in awhile is ok… lol

Friday: TGIF. Pretty much the highlight of the week. Half day at work. Medical appt in the afternoon for me. Morning session with my GM and sales manager, and broke the news I’ve been waiting for the past 2 years… FINALLY going to be accepted as permanent staff (has better benefits package). Was really glad to hear the news. Went to salon after the medical. Shiok.

Saturday: Searched fundsupermart.com to read up more on the investment stuff. Watched Evan Almighty and The Pursuit of Happyness. Went to RN’s place for mahjong. Seriously, I don’t really play money games since I “za hu” and ”bao” back during “O” level days (dunno how to play and still play money). However, today I ended up the biggest winner in total. Think around $14? =p I’ll bet RN and FS looking for revenge very soon… esp FS… heh.. well at least LP and I treated them to supper at Al Azhar. Oh yes… and a lot of R21 content. FS came back from business trip from Vietnam and Philippines… started to talk abt red light district and stuff, then talk about Geylang… like those pros will come up and whisper dirty things like “shuai ge, yao bu yao chui ah?”, “lai mah, 3 ge ren wo gen ni da zhe”… and us guys just kept repeating that crap over and over again each turn during the game… hilarious…

Sunday: Just chill at home, and blog… Liverpool drew 0-0 again… *faint* but Arsenal… woo hoo… 5-0 against Derby. I keep watching the wrong games man. My credit card application rejected… but new account with Citibank setup and got me first chequebook (bloody sua ku).

Its a nice week.
