A new week, a new friend.

Damn 2 weeks didn't online liao. I'll make 2 posts la, each dedicating to a week of working. I'll try to write something useful here...

This week started off wit the arrival of a new 'friend'. Yea GiGi sent some decoration to boss ma. So have to put it up loh. The set has a few stuff la but this one caught my (or everyone's, to be exact) attention. It's a 不倒翁 (dunno wut is this in english la) of the GiGi yellowman. Damn cute leh! Yea it's not moving in the pic ma, but when you come visit me, do give it a poke or two coz it's fckin hilarious when it sways around holding that '很旺' banner. Can visualise the '好紧要旺' ad everytime it moves around. We even gave it a name, '阿旺'. Seriously, it is that entertaining...

‘好旺,好紧要旺!!!'

Why 'GiGi'? This has something to do wit the way foreign workers pronunce the telco. Instead of 'Dee Jee', they say it 'Dii Gee' like in 'gigi' in BM. LOL.

Have I mentioned that 'aunties' are your worst nightmare? Seriously no matter how they look like, an aunty is an aunty. I have 2 cases, one of my colleague and one of my own. My colleague's one goes something like this: dad buys phone for son, unlucky got a shitty phone that has bad build, sent for repair after few days of use, waited for a month. Mum gets fed up (dunno why) and demands quicker action. One day dad, mum and son came to shop few minutes before close shop. Dad asks whether ok or not, colleague says no. Mum got super fed up and starts shouting stuff and went on until 10.30. In the end promised to return phone in one week.

Mine's similar: Man comes to buy phone. Determined to get a certain model, says is for 8 year old daughter. Within few minutes done deal. Procedure done and off he goes. Next day whole family came, lady asks to change handsfree coz color not right. Found one and gave to her. Moments later returned. Asks why cannot work. Found out tak ngam model. Told her no more handsfree of the color she wants. She says that we're bluffing her and not doing honest business. Boss comes and continues persuasion. Lady says check on internet and the color should be matching. In the end she says going to check wit manufacturer, if got color she wants a refund.

Damn...

K I'm starting to forget the stuff that happened 2 weeks ago, so here's the last pic of the post:

It has 1.3 million cameras built in? The last one I saw has 4 max. LOL

Part of our business is affected by the import of chinese mobile phones. The are almost everywhere. Everyday I walk past some shops to get to the mixed rice shop for lunch I see this banner about chinese mobiles. Damn they have one that looks like N77, wit touchscreen, TV and WiFi! And they dun cost Rm800. Seriously. The other day I read some book about phones (you gotta read some to kill time), there's this part introducing chinese mobiles. Damn one has 7 speakers (of coz only one is working), one has 4 camera lense (left, right, front, back, all 1.3 megapix!!), one catered to buddhists (features everything buddhist), one wit 8.0 megapix cam and a 'HiPhone', a clone of the iPhone. You see geng or not?
