Customers are not always right, Customers are most of the time bitches

So i've been working part time at this little cramped office selling concert tickets for the past month, thus my new found respect for customer services. I'm a bit scared to admit that i sort of liked it for awhile, i didn't know at first because my first day was assumed to just be briefed on what my job scope was to be like. Who knew ten minutes of very, very quick explanations on what concerts the office were handling, I was thrown to the horrifying yet very irritating telephone that wouldn't stop ringing. Trust me, every 3 out of 10 phone calls are asking for a bitch slap through the phone.

Of course i didn't work everyday, I found out that i always brought a major headache home with me after work but it comes and goes most of the time. I concluded that i wasn't fit to be working in a tiny office shared by all the staffs with have no privacy whatsoever. Even the wash room is less than ten feet away from everyone's table and the entire office is smaller than my house living room. 

I received some shitty comments from some ungrateful-not-so-understanding-demanding-undeniably-rude-twice-my-age people wanting to buy concert tickets. Whoever said 'Customers are always right' deserves to have his or her family forever to be stuck working in customer services.

How can people be so rude?? Seriously. Did they think my job was to be their punching bag just because they're someone else's punching bag somewhere else? Did they think i liked asking them to repeat whatever the hell they were saying with their mouse voice on purpose? Did they think i was trying to scam their money by telling them the wrong information?? Wanna sue me for conveying you the wrong information AND apologized many times for it then fucking go ahead you fucking stoner. This is an embarrassment to all that are older then me.

Seriously Undeniably Rude ADULTS !

I might or might not get called racist by this comment but all of my Malay, Indian and foreign customers were all nice and polite and very, very, very understanding when I couldn't delivery what they wanted to hear. They always said "Thank you", they always said "It's ok", sometimes there were some "Aww..." but that's it. No "Call your manager", no "I'll sue you", no "What-do-you-mean-cannot-bla-bla-bla". Absolutely nice and polite people and i liked talking to them.

The good thing now is I don't have to pick any telephone calls after this month because I've made part of my new laptop's money back. I fried my old laptop's screen wiring and motherboard over the past 6 years of its very useful life and rewarded myself with a brand new all to myself Lenovo laptop.

My Getaway Time

I can't wait to be here next month.

To just get away from reality even just for awhile is already a blessing.

I've been feeling very irritated, annoyed, and angry altogether for some reason lately. I don't even wanna think about why I feel that way but i just wish it just disappears.

I always say 'It's hard to human' *it sounds better in Cantonese*, i really mean its hard. Everyday i look at Rascal & Princess, all they do is eat, sleep, play, bark at strays and garbageman, and chase after birds and rats. Being human, there're so many things to take into consideration. So many responsibilities and expectations. Sometimes its sickens me to think about all that's about to come.

Recently I've acquired a new found respect for people who work in customer services. The amount of crap they receive from people telling them how to do their job is just admirable unless they're the type that mouths back. Customers can seriously be a bitch.

For now, I just can't wait to walk on the beach and get a sunburn as a souvenir.

Vampire Diaries Season 4

Remember my previous post where i mentioned i wished Elena would just become a vampire already, by accident. Well my wish actually came true because ironically she did in season 3's finale, by accident.

In case you didn't know, Elena died just like how she was supposed to in the book where she drowns under the Wickery Bridge. But it didn't happen exactly like the book because the book didn't have Original Vampires after them. Rebekah kinda got mad after Klaus's supposed 'death' and decided to flip Matt's truck with him and Elena inside off the Wickery Bridge. Stefan, of course, came to the rescue but Elena insisted that he saves Matt first which brings us to the hospital morgue in the next scene where we see Elena lying dead on the slab and Dr. Meredith Fall nervously pulling Damon aside to tell him she gave Elena vampire blood earlier in the episode because Elena had cerebral hemorrhage when she collapsed at the end of episode 21 *phew~ that was long*.

There're already articles online about how Season 4 is going to take off.

Elena will eventually go through with her transition. Remember when Elena told Damon during their very emotional heart to heart conversation through the phone about choosing Stefan over him and if only they had met each other first? *I'm digging this super long sentences without any stops or commas* Well memories of being compelled will start to come back to Elena as she transitions because apparently she DID meet Damon first in Mystic Falls. Do expect an even deeper love triangle and scandalicious dramas next season.

*Expect Elena to look like this next season*
*If Katherine ever comes back, she'll have a twin~ Ooo fun*

There's still stuffs about the deal between Klaus and Bonnie and Caroline and supposedly dead Tyler. Speaking of Tyler, it seems that Klaus really is the maker of the Salvatore brother's bloodline and Caroline and a very good possibility for Elena because Meredith Fell did bloodjack Damon before. But no one knows for sure right now. And lastly before i end this post, there will be a new big badass coming to Mystic Falls in Season 4.

Vampires over Werewolves?

*This blog post might be lacking or misinform due to my limited knowledge of films*

As far as i can remember, Vampires used to be ugly looking beings with pale grayish skin, no eyebrows and were always hunching their backs. I got this from watching too much 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and its spin off series, 'Angel'.

 

In case you're wondering, yes this is David Boreanaz from 'Bones'.

Although the title in Buffy says "vampire slayer", there weren't much vampires being staked. This series dealt with all kinds of monsters and demons and whatever. Angel was a character in Buffy but later he got his own  show so yea. And in the 'Angel' series, well the main character of the series is already a vampire so what's more to say? I remember this short scene from the show a very long time ago where Angel tells the professor Giles that he loves Buffy but then the professor tells Angel that Buffy just wants to stake him. Haha~

And then there's True Blood, its mature contents is so not for the pure minded.

Unlike other shows where vampires live in urban areas, True Blood takes place in a countryside town and they have red necks, cowboy hats and boots, country accents and country vampires. This is the first vampire series that has fairies in it. I was like 'WTF? What next?'

I stumbled upon this series, Being Human, and i just finished watching its two seasons. 

Being Human has two versions, North American version and British version about a Ghost, Werewolf and a Vampire living under one roof as roommates. 

Honestly I didn't enjoy this series much because, Aiden the vampire always look like he wants to cry when he's with other vampires. He has an evil face but when he soften up he looks like he's on the verge of a mental meltdown. And the vampires in this series feeds very messily. I was grossed out.

And my current personal favorite series, The Vampire Diaries from the L. J. Smith books.

If Damon was ever killed off from the series i think i'll cry because he's the character who makes the viewers squirm for more. Evil-brother-turned-good-but-still-acts-evil-because-its-his-image-and-secretly-loves-his brother's-girl-but-in-the-end-still-gets-brother's-girl-to-fall-for-him-anyway-with-his-evil-charm. Too long? Did you watch Damon and Elena's passionate kiss kiss scene in episode 19? No? Opps spoiler~

Sometimes i just wish Elena just gets turned into a vampire, by accident.

And out of all the vampire shows I've watched, most of protagonist vampires are cutting back their human blood diet and taking on bunny blood because they've been bad for the past 100 years and want to change themselves. "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" is what i would say. I wanna see some real vampire action actually biting into someone's neck and not feeling bad about it and ends up self destructing.

Seriously, Kristen Steward's acting is too STIFF !!! She gets fidgety and mumbles too much. It's like she's high on drugs, she holds herself too much and when there's eye contact she gives off a very WEIRD vibe!!!

She ruined my image and expectations of Twilight when i read the books. I am only going to watch Snow White and the Huntsman for Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth, NOT for Kristen Steward. Urghhh and there's still Breaking Dawn part two...

I'm sorry, i was supposed to talk about vampires but my frustration got the better of me. There's not much to say actually, bad vampires are always the best.

Do you notice the vampire dominance in all these series and movies? There are more vampires as the primary character in shows than werewolves who are always secondary.

*Interview with the Vampire doesn't have werewolves, they have Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and little Kristin Dunst*

So far this is the only werewolf movie that i can remember and this was released in 2010.

 Have you ever watched Teen Wolf? 

The old version was made a movie in 1985 and then remade into a series later in 2011.

Notice how werewolves used to be hairy everywhere. Well i think whoever wanted to remake the show realized how unattractive it made their wolf looked and decided to cut down on some extra fur.

The series is only 13 episodes and the action scenes looked kinda fake and lame, the plot for the bad guys was even worse. The bad alpha male werewolf, UGLY FAKE FURRY MUTT... yea i was disappointed because this is the ONLY modern day werewolf series i could find *Sorry, not a fan of old films*. Besides the bad action scenes and weird looking bad alpha male wolf, everything else is fine. There's romance, typical. Then there's obstacle in romance, typical. Then there's happy ending after getting over the obstacle in the romance, typical.

And the protagonist, Tyler Posey, he was that little kid from the movie 'Maid in Manhattan' with Jennifer Lopez in 2002.

Best Absolute Perfect

 Best Absolute Perfect debuted in January 2012 and left every teenage girl shrieking their lung inside out with their  powerful yet charismatic performance. In another words, they left a very impressive first impression with their debut single 'Warrior'.

Behold the unbelievable talented boys from B.A.P (from left)

Leader/Main Rapper

Bang YongGuk

Sub-Vocalist/Rapper/Face of the Group *yea*

Kim HimChan

Main Vocalist

Jung DaeHyun

Main Vocalist

Yoo YongJae

Sub Vocalist/Rapper/Main Dancer

Moon JongUp

Maknae/Lead Rapper/Main Dancer

Choi JungHong a.k.a Zelo

 You'd recognize leader Bang YongGuk if you heard of the song 'I Remember' featuring B2ST - Yang YoSeob. Honestly when i first found out about this song i didn't listen to it because i was curious of this newcomer, it was because of Yang YoSeob (B2ST). But i was wrong because i really really liked the song and that's how i came to know of this amazing rapper.

After finding out about Bang YongGuk, like any typical fan, i searched him up and found that he did another song in the past with a singer name Song JiEun. The song was called 'Going Crazy' which netizens claimed it was the Korean version for Eminem and Rihanna's 'Love the Way You Lie'. I like both songs and yes they are similarities between these two songs but i don't think there was any plagiarism.

 

Then Bang YongGuk apparently met Zelo when they were working on 'Never Give Up'.

After that both of them had their first Asia tour in MALAYSIA. HERE !! MALAYSIA !! It was held in Sungai Wang on the exact same day as FT Island's concert at Stadium Negara. Guess after they finished their tour here they began working on B.A.P

They went quiet after promoting their 1st mini album. I read articles about them in Singapore recently *so close...yet so far...* To me i think B.A.P set the bar really high up for all the new rookie groups. I remembered netizens were comparing B.A.P with EXO from SM Ent. To me obviously B.A.P crushed EXO because have you seen their MV for Warrior??

If no then never mind because B.A.P have just released their 2nd mini album.
This time their single is also as powerful as the 1st single.
>> POWER <<

Can't wait for B.A.P to come to Malaysia.

Reality Check

I've been avoiding my blog. Even my last post was something i didn't really wanted to do but i just did it because i thought i have this obligation to at least make it seem i still care about this...this blog that i created almost 4 years ago.

Graduation in coming soon.
The reality of me having to step out of the nest is really starting to sink in.

When i was young I always thought i will never grow up.
I will always go to school and always come home the same way everyday.
People only die in television and Pokemon and Digimon actually exist far far away.

Two days ago i had this sudden interest about life.
I'm alive now but what happens to me after i die or about to die?
Will i still experience something at the end?
Will i actually see the bright light or will the floor beneath me crack open?
Why must people die?
Why can't we just live in a fixed population on Earth that never changes?

When someone of someone dies,
I don't know how to feel for them because i just don't know.
I learned from TV that when someone dies you tell the person of that someone "I'm so sorry for your lost" or "My condolences". I always wondered why do people say such things.
How long does the feeling last of loosing someone dear to you?
Does it change you? Does it make you any different?
How will i feel when someone i know close to me dies?
Will react the same way that everyone else react?

Everyone will die eventually, either natural or sickness or whatever you come up with.
The question that i'm troubling with is, will people really really deep down inside care when someone dies?

Forever Negative

I have people calling me a happy-go-lucky person who does nothing but good fortune keeps coming to me... Really? Are you sure??

Well I have actually thought of myself as a happy-go-lucky person but sometimes when i think deeply enough, I'm just a fake happy-go-luckier. Good fortune doesn't come to me and if it did then i wouldn't have to be miserable at times. 

Just a few days ago my friends and i were at Starbucks 'yumcha-ing' and the topic about future us came up. I never really liked that topic because it gets me worried about what would happen next. Will i find a job after i graduate? Will i get along with my co-workers? Will i get scolded for a mistake? Will i get fired? Will i have to keep depending on my parents when all my other friends are making their own thousands every month?

ALL OF THESE ARE NEGATIVISM !!!

If i had a wish to change something about myself it would be to get rid my all my negativism

Awesome Avril

Ahahaha Yea !!

Last week was the highlight of my very uninteresting life - I still can't believe it's been one week since AVRIL LAVIGNE was here in Malaysia.

I bought my Tune Talk ticket long before the concert because my internship salary had just cleared and i had RM800 at hand~ 'Happy die me'~ So during lunch hour i went straight to buy my ticket at TheGuitarStore and surprisingly it seemed like no one was in a rush to buy tickets.

Anyways, February 18, 2012 will be a date i will never forget because after fussing over missing Avril's 2008's concert for 4 years, I've finally accomplished it.

Avril's Black Star Tour Concert was held at the Stadium Merdeka and it was raining in the afternoon and then it stopped and continued drizzling almost the entire concert  BUT it was damn worth it. I've lost count of of many songs she sang but she really is good at live performances. 

My Tune Talk zone was at the front line so once Avril came out, everyone from behind started pushing and the front people got squashed a little ~haha~ and this dude behind me wearing black skinny jeans and tight white t-shirt was destroying the buzz because he was screaming all the lyrics in a very unpleasant tune. The crowd was stuffy, the ground was muddy but the performance was a rocket~

It wasn't easy taking all these pictures.

The concert ended around 10.30pm and i thought i could happily go back after witnessing my RM239 leave the stage. But no~ Malaysia's hardworking polis diraja had to 'saman' my car. That jokey guy totally ripped dozens of cars off telling us to park because of the concert.

Avril !! Wish you more success in the future and come back to Malaysia again!!

Dream High

If you asked me to watch a Korean drama 3 years ago, i would say ok ok but i never do because i had absolute no interest in Koreans at that time. I never listened to Korean music, never eaten Korean cuisine, never read news (translated) about Korean entertainment, and i'm very positive i had never seen a Korean person in real life. 

Now, 3 long years after my expanded my little bubble, I'm all about Korean related stuffs. I won't be getting into Korean food or K-pop groups but i will be talking about Korean dramas which recently caught my attention.

This drama is called DREAM HIGH and i might have had a High-School-Musical-first-impression but after watching a couple of episodes i threw my first impression away so far that Zac Efron might have felt a slap on his cheek.

Dream High is about the six students from Kirin Arts High School working their way into becoming a music star in the Korean music industry. Kirin Arts High School is famous for producing some of Korea's best K-pop artistes and it is the first step for young pre-debuted artistes to begin their career. 

The six students are the main cast in Dream High and unless you don't know, most of them are K-pop singers in real life. Most K-pop artiste are triple threats because they sing, they dance, and they act. It's like a requirement that they know how to dance. I always wonder why the American music industries don't practice the same way as the Korean music industries.

The Cast

 Kim Soo Hyun plays the leading male role, Song Sam Dong, the village boy turned superstar at the end. He is more of an actor than a singer but i loved him in Dream High and yes he can sing.

Ham Eun Jung (Vocalist, Lead Rapper) from girl group T-ara plays Yoon Baek Hee & Suzy (Vocalist)  from girl group Miss A plays leading female role Go Hye Mi. Both these two characters were friends turned enemies and back to friends at the end.

Wooyoung (Lead Vocalist, Main Dancer) from boy group 2PM plays Jason & IU (solo singer) plays Kim Pil Sook. These two character made Dream High cute because of their cute puppy love story turned happy ending.

 *I had to*
Taecyeon (Main Rapper) from boy group 2PM plays Hyun Shi Hyuk, nickname Jin Guk.

Dream High even had a few cameo cast.

I don't know all of them but i do know these three ^^
