[UPDATE]
I'm going with tak to play more zombie shooting games at Compass Point later. Think of it as a belated Vday gift. Shooting dead and or dying zombies in an arcade for a Vday gift. How's that for originality? ;)

[SOME TIME LATER]

We came , we shot, we died after spending 3 credits each. But it was fun. I got farther than I ever did, and I saved her life once. Yay! Anyway work earlier on was quite ok, low traffic before I left. Thurs going out with them to Billy Bombers at Heeren because I got a $15 vouchers my colleague gave me. Hehs. Hmm...now nth to do...reading.
[/UPDATE]

Oh I think I forgot to blog about the later half of yesterday. Anyway I left work early (Yay!) and nearly got a seat on the shuttle bus (Boo!), though I feel bad for PSing my colleague. I got to HBfront and then to OTpark, just nice as tak was getting off work, so I have a new Travel Buddy everyday, and also makes me feel bad for leaving my colleague to go home alone.

We were both wearing white tops and black bottoms so we probably looked like we worked for the same company. Lol. We didn't take a picture. =[ I went with her to Kovan mall so she could buy her new shoes (cue squealing and highness). Also I think if I revert back to my old working time next month, I can just wake 10 mins earlier to meet tak on the way to work.

Anyway I went home, bathed, had a pretty good dinner and went online. Called the rest, talked till late then went to sleep. Woke up feeling pretty tired. The pain in my neck has not gone away. Today's calls are manageable. Whew. Think there's going to be some kind of audit/spotcheck later though. =X

Oh yeah, here are some poems that we temps at the Call Centre wrote for Vday. You may not understand, but well, I can read them again next time. Haha!

To users:

You make my heart pound when the phone rings,

a smile to my face your voice brings.

As TradeXchange faxes chatter from the printer

I calmly direct you to the singpass reset counter.



I talk to you on the phone every day,

I help you to import 5 tonnes of hay.

When your truck or ship is stuck at Customs,

Your permit is pending, you must learn.



I check if Java is installed on your com,

I tell you where to download it from.

You just go to javatester.com

No, you do not need a CD-ROM.



I help you to download your missing permit,

How to clear your cache, you must learn it.

If the server is having technical problems,

Please try again in half an hour.



Dearest Call Centre,



I call your number even when it’s already late.

You make me feel nervous when I have to wait.

You ask for my name, you ask for my number.

Your voice makes me melt, your reply makes me stumble.



You solve all my misery, how you make my heart beat.

When you download me all those permit, my life is complete.

Login to SingPass, I receive invalid till locked

You ask me go counter reset, so naughty.. I know you’ll be there to stalk.



My PC don’t have Java, I don’t know what to do.

You guide me through to install, even though im just a fool.

Everytime I complain, im sorry I couldn’t help it,

When I think about you talking to millions of others, I just hate it.



There are times we have it bad, there are times we have it good.

Sometimes it gets serious, I almost jump off the roof.

But most of the times I was unreasonable, you answer with a smile.

That’s why I keep calling you, coz u always go the extra mile.





My dear singpass, where are you

It was just a slip of my mind

And I have to reset you

The ways are classified into two kinds

Either at counter or online



I didn’t sign up for that immediate reset is

That is actually a brand new feature

Which asks for the birthday of your father

And other weird questions that boil your anger



Six chances only and the account was locked

The security system is as solid as a rock

Cursing the system was my first reaction

Then dialed that hotline which has many seven



The guy on the line was pleasant as I expected

But a busy man like me have no time for the counter

Asked if someone can reset on my behalf

As I really had no time to go

But my hopes were dashed with a straight no



Left with no choice but to apply online

The thought of four working days make me sigh

What can I do, I can’t make special requests

They are just Crimsonlogic

And not some people with magic



After submitting an online request

I waited day after day with full of zest

But what I received was just a notification letter

After a week, I called again

My heart was then feeling some kind of pain



The guy on the line checked the status

And told me that it was completed

But that is strange as I wonder

When will I ever receive my pin mailer



He just told me to apply again

Oh no, so I had just waited in vain!

So at the end of the day at the counter, I spared some time

My heart was already as sour as lime



Finally my dearest singpass

I won’t forget you anymore

Promise you, you’ll never be gone again

Let us be together on valentine day
