I hate cold calling!!~

*zHigUo + xiNhUi = kUkU & LaLa *

Yesterday was kind off boring... what we call a blue monday... I didn't manage to sleep well on sunday night, probably because I ate too much, especially the delicious sharks fin soup mama cooked... so I was late for work, and I mean late like 45 minutes late... luckily my bosses are usually late themselves.. so they usually don't complain when we are slightly late... hee heex.. best for people like me because I'm late queen.. Hoho~

After work I went home alone, boring~ Cooked some "guo tie" dumplings for siongs and myself.. yummy yummy... poor baby, still had to work OT till 11pm...

Baby reached home like 11.30pm, after he ta bao roti prata from The Prata House @ Rosyth Road (my old home town). The funny thing was that I ordered 1 kosong, 1 cheese prata, and baby didn't have enough cash on him, only enough to buy 3 kosong and 1 egg... so when he came home, he took 1 slice of kraft cheese from our fridge, place it on top of my kosong prata, and put it in the oven to heat for a while. Lolx.. Ta Dah! there was my homemade cheese prata.. saves $ and tastes the same... Baby's full of such ideas~

Wanted to sleep early because both of us were freaking tired... but suddenly I remembered that I haven't done facial for some time... so I choose the Aloe Paper mask which I bought from The
Face Shop... cooling it was... hydrates my skin too.. Baby had to wait for me to sleep.. so I suggested he do facial too... since I bought the Mung Bean paper mask for him (for keeping skin clean and hydrated too).. haha.. both of us doing facial.. so funny...

Haha! Baby reluctantly doing facial~

Boh bian, I had to act cute with him~

Today i had to make cold calls to interior designing companies to invite them to my our Carpet Exhibition cum Wine & Dine on 25th July evening. I really hate cold calling.. its like you have to call people you totally don't know and convince them to be interested in what you are trying to promote.

But luckily, for my case, we are trying to invite designers to attend our complementary party instead of selling our products to them.. so it was kind off easier. However, there were still some occasions where the receiver hung up on us even before we manage to speak.. thinking we are some kind of promoter selling products on the phone. I don't blame them for doing that, because i do that too... Heex..

Usually when I get anonymous calls, I will just say "it's ok, im not interested" and hang up on them immediately, especially when I know the promoter on the other side of the line is a PRC.. not that I wanna criticize on them or look down on them, but they cannot even speak proper English, and they want to promote products over the phone.. Cannot even understand what the f*ck they are trying to say man... and the worst thing is that they want to stop you from hanging up the phone but talking non-stop..

But I really respect those people who are working as full time tele-marketers... can you imagine they have to make cold calls every single working day of their life... omg~

Today I taught Baby had to work OT till 10 pm... so I told mama I will be going home for dinner... End up, baby's OT was canceled.. so he came to fetch me after work and we went home straight for mama's specialty bee hoon... yummy yummy it was indeed... especially with mama's homemade chilli sauce...

Yummy, baby even bother to display the veggies nicely...

Papa had to fix our antique clock, thanks to small siong~.. he was trying to help by adjusting the seconds hand(we have to do so for antique clocks once in awhile...), but I guess because he haven't done it for quite awhile... so he actually pulled the weights holding the seconds hand.. instead of pulling the chains of the seconds hand... haha...

Papa, caught in action~

My dad is really a genius man... he can fix almost every thing that goes wrong in the house.. he can fix the air con, the tv, the fridge, the lights, the water heater, the door knobs, the water pipes, and even our antique clock.. even my two U grads siongs couldn't figure out how to fix the clock...

The parts of the clock after it was fixed back~

Our beautiful clock after being fixed back, chimes again!
