class 95 has got to be one of singapore's best radio stations.
i used to not appreciate glenn and rod's lewd jokes but now i think they're damn hilarious.
well, today's drivetime show with jean danker was about giving tribute to memories. coincidentally, a lot of listeners thought it was time to remember their past teachers in secondary schools, juniour colleges, universities, etc.
sure brought back memories!
remember mrs manu the shortest geography teacher alive? or the lit teacher who had an identical twin and whose favourite word was "ok"? how about ms tok? and the french teacher? our ex form-teacher the dragon lady mdm chan? the never-been-shaved ms khoo (whose sister is teaching at SP btw)? mr 24-inch-waist tan tze siong?
i could name a lot more but i think it's gonna make me cry instead.
i vividly remembered skipping class in secondary 3 to catch the sydney 2000's diving finals (finals leh!) and getting horribly lectured by ms wee for that. yes i deserved that but i didn't think so at that time. haha. ms wee always irritated me during biology, she would always remain standing at the OHP while we were copying her answers and it just so happened that she was always blocking my view of the screen. you'd think she would have gotten a small hint after a while but nooooo... she remained as thick as ever.
eh this post is getting very cliched. shall stop.
work was bad today. i worked on my client's copy for an entire day yesterday (network security not very easy to digest, plus, it's BORING) only to have him reply this morning with a "i hate it! it's too contrived! who uses words like 'ad infinitum' and 'modus operandi' on a daily basis?"
my dear retard, i mean client, of course nobody uses those words. but remember when i asked you what you wanted to sound like on your website and all you replied was "of course i wanna sound like i'm the best."
hellooooooo?!?!? do you think? who doesn't want to sound like they're the best?!?! you are an internet security company and you want to sound light-hearted and humourous?!? i think it was at that precise point i gave up on asking you constructive questions.
i told you he's a retard. let him have his ugly website (it IS ugly, my designer doesn't have the heart to tell him his ideas are mfugly) and oh-so-totally-gay copy. he's such an asian-pretending-to-be-chao-ang-moh i just feel like mashing his face into his laptop everytime i see him.
i'm not getting pissy just because he doesn't like what i've wrote. but he keeps proposing ideas he can't really put into words very well, so he tries to cover his inadequacy and our growing frustration with countless "i know i'm a difficult client." i know he's difficult but i wish he would stop repeating that ad infinitum. contribute something invaluable for god's sake. just because you're paying us exhorbitant amounts doesn't grant you the right to be, in your own words, difficult.
what a retard. and i had to do OT for you somemore.

Hey manz...welcome to the world of irritating clients. And it's true that "who wouldn't want to sound like they are the best?" but I guess your English was too much/difficult for him to digest. Well...maybe try using normal everyday words. Yes, his website will sound like any other company's but that's what he wants right?
Then again, at least now you have something to do and can stop saying that you are bored. Haha... Told you it was going to be a last minute rush. Everybody works the same way.
haha. thing is, i'm not bored now... the entire office thinks i have nothing to do so everyone gives me a bit of something to do. now i actually am busy!
