It was already 1.34am when I writing this post. Suddenly, I just felt like writing. Just came back from our company gathering at one of our colleague's house at Sunbird Avenue (just opposite Singapore Expo). Her terrace house was impressive with all the beautiful furniture and looks so high class.

After having our dinner, basically they had talked almost for more than 2 hours on many things. You can say that I'm just there to listen since most of the time the boss is talking to our colleague from "How to treat a child with high fever" to "The IT industry on whose in the top chart sales" to "Some experience they shared about doing business in China". I agree some topics are quite interesting but I just feel a sense of annoymity. It's just like a generation gap between a parent and their child. I just feel like I'm "small" or I shouldn't be there kind of feeling. Haha. Not sure as to why but this is how I felt.

Meiling got a $200 voucher for being good in customer service. Good for her. Boss was telling me to fight for the next round which would be around christmas time. Yup, $200 is alot but I feel that I'm not that kind of person who would "chiong" just because of that $200 voucher, especially when I really dislike customer service job. Sometimes, I get irritated or annoyed when I'm focusing on doing my design work and the phone suddenly rang on me! I hate being disrupted by calls or unexpected customers' walk-in when I was in the "peak" of doing my work.

I know I sound unkind but this is really how I felt. How are you going to force me to like doing customer service when I'm so dedicated to doing design work? Maybe, this is not the job for me. After doing for 2 years of facing all sorts of customers, I'm still cannot get used to the disrupting calls and walk-in customers. Afterall, I'm myself, I do what I do best. I think facing all sorts of nasty customers gave me quite a good experience on this field but I wonder, Customer Service, is it really something that anyone or everyone can do it?

Ok. enough of my ranting. I need to focus my energy more on my freelance project! hehe. I think this is really what I enjoy!
