the life of a toy fairy
oh how i hate santa. santa might indeed be the world's biggest bitch. the elves sure hates doing straightening and clearing trucks. especially when it comes to private brands.
confused yet?
lemme go through. its just a simple scenario at TRU. but the main point is that, i wanna start my usual bitching again.
so you can ignore this post if it gets yummy.
now, i'll start off by intro-ing to you the 5 managers in our store. they rotate shifts throughout the week, so the combinations is never fixed. and its funny that they have their nicknames posted on the noticeboard
"these are the important numbers you should call if you're on MC, late for work, resigning, getting married, cat give birth or requesting leave."
thats the header you'll see before reaching to the manager contact list.
Ying (superboss)
Shah (cobra lancer)
Amin (the rock)
Patrick (the cool guy)
Su (cutest)
and im like huh?
that was my first reaction on my very first day at work when i read the nicknames.
are they serious?
then when i went to the private toilet at the staging area, i saw a trolley which had a note on it.
"dont clear trolley
-the rock"

Ying - one of the most bitched about lady. stuck at 25, she works and walks like a man. and she didnt work her way up, she was blessed with the position as the big boss of Forum TRU. so basically, she dont really understand how we elves suffer. she dont really know what it means when we cant overstock the toys already.
she'll be the one who's calling you while you're in the toilet and shouts
"adam where are you?"
"erm break"
"break ah? i never see you go break leh?"
we call her Kakak. not as a sign of respect, well maybe sarcastic respectism. but yeah, whenever she's not there, we dont backstab and call her bitch, we call her kakak. which means big sis.
deep muziq's verdict : yes, she deserves her Superboss nickname.
Shah - one of the most biggest and scariest looking manager. swear i was intimidated at first. cos he did try to intimidate the 'then' new staff. he tried to show that he's the boss around there. but along the way, i found out that he's just Mat. a married Mat. a Mat slacker.
and apparently he has a car. can he support his family?
deep muziq's verdict : his Cobra Lancer nickname has got no link to it. god damn you.
Amin - the first manager i met. the first manager i called Sir. his soft demeanour may fool you. for he is the rock. well, just imagine a shorter version of the rock. WAIT! i have his friendster link. and he bitches about customers in his blog. indeed, its a fun read.
i think he's the only manager that i like best. cos he's dope.
deep muziq's verdict : the rock just matches his hair. but yeah
Patrick - this guy. wait, cool guy. he dont speak much. he dont boss us around much. but i was told to be wary. Patrick is the abang. so abang will complain to kakak. and kakak will do bad stuff to you. and kakak will complain to bapak. bapak is the head of all the TRU in singapore. and to think i dreamt of bapak before. bapak's name is Eric. apparently, Eric loves the other adam. dope.
but since Patrick has never made life miserable for me, im happy.
deep muziq's verdict : the cool guy deserves his name.
Su - short for sulastriya. ya. one of the shortest person you'll see. maybe cutest wont be a nice nick. but i rather her be know as the dopest. hoho!
i dunno, she's just dope. and that was my verdict as well.
in conclusion, Santa is really a bitch. but we elves have survived years of torment.
so next time. when you think of X'mas, think of TRU. cos thats where Santa bought his stuff.

EXIT episode
a lady came up to the Entrance service area and asked
"excuse me, have you seen my husband?"
what the?
and she went on to describe how he looks like.
damn.
"he might be at the exit"
"where is the exit?"
"its at the other side. this place is U-shaped"
"there is another side? can you show me?"
convo between Race X and Saifuddin. i bear witness to the whole sitch.

IRONMAN episode
"excuse me, hi. i just bought this Ironman figure for my son. but the leg is slightly loose. see."
"do you have the receipt ma'am?"
"yes. right here. i just bought it"
"wheres the original packaging ma'am?"
"inside the dustbin next to the cashier"
so i went to dig while saifuddin settled with the 1-on-1 exchange.
we got them another Ironman figure and opened it up.
"i'll let my son test it first"
"can i bang it on the table here?" son
and we all stared at one another silently.
and he knocked the figure.
a loose shoulder piece came off (which was meant to be detachable)
so they insisted on another new set.
so we opened the other new set (this time with Su bearing witness to the whole episode)
and yes, the third pack also had the same loose shoulder guard.
"i dont think my son is interested in this one anymore. can we change it to the silver ironman?"
so yeah, customer's always right.
they got what they wanted.
and we had 3 packs of Ironman figures opened.
costing $59.70 total wasted.
one only costs $19.90
so damn you Race X.
and adam has changed. no wait, i still have anger management issues to settle.
and yes, we all know, i can be the meanest critic. even though i claim not to be.
you got that right.
and i critique not for pleasure, its to hate.
