today has pretty much been a day of ups and downs... early start... at 8am... interesting lecture on Buddhism in India... rushed over to engin... collected payment for courses... sat through Mechanics of Materials... final rush through for lab report... went queensway for the jersey... had a standing lunch of IKEA's hotdog... made my way back... bought food for comm meeting/steamboat... where only 7 turned up... crashed haojie's cluster kitchen... coz mine was too crowded... it was good fun.. ben was his usual crappy self... photos if i get them from lyna... who took loads of those... gave the guy his present... no occasion... just thought it would be nice... went back... stared at my tutorial... tried doing abit of Solidworks... gave up... new neighbour, sin yee, popped by... and we chatted for hours... which was really cool... coz i thought we had pretty much in common... when we finally beared to end the conversation... i went to bathe... and had another one with grace while in the shower... when i came back... packed my bags for tomorrow... today, if you are fussy... berwine came by to collect her CD from shaun... talked for ages... sin yee came to join us... and so we did... crapped, laughed, chatted... until 2am... thanks ah... i got 9am tutorial tomorrow... but it was so good i tell you... made up for the totally lousy day i was having... lousy day... actually not so much so... i know i'm not supposed to like think about this issue especially since the girl is so %&#*$!!! but thats what my blog is for... record of events... good or bad... thing was... there was a girl who enrolled for the course... for the whole of the last week... she has been telling me she would pay the course fees... even giving me a specific time she would transfer by... for like consecutive days... and in the end when i did check at those times... there was nuthing... it was frustrating coz i had to IB continually... clearing my cache repeatedly... over and over again... i told her i would pay for her first... before saturday... and she said it was ok... assuring me she wont run away... so i trusted her.. the final straw came like yesterdae... when she msged me saying that she cant make it on time on saturday... saying she has some exco meeting... something which PA cant allow because it's a certification course... so that was what i told her... she said she'll meet me at SRC at 6pm today... coz regardless of whether she will or will not make it for the course... she's obliged to pay me based on a verbal confirmation... heck what law... i just know it's only right... how can anyone misuse someone else's trust like that? then today when i called her at 6pm... she said something like she's making her way over... then said it's very far... from ARTS fac to SRC... NUS peeps... please judge... then said she wanna do a ATM transfer... i got pissed coz that is what she told me last week... and i seriously have no time to be played by her again... so i told her that.... and she started giving me shit abt how her friends say she is not obliged to pay the sum... saying that why she should believe i paid in advance for her... i couldnt take it anymore... i handed over the phone to the guy... asked him to settle it... i know its damn chicken coward... but the thing is... i was breaking down already... i couldnt understand why there can be a person as unreasonable as her... and so he spoke... with tact... with reason... until he blew up as well... it was the freaking first time i ever, ever seen him so angry... i think the rest of the comm got a little surprised as well.. i seriously never seen him so angry... not even the only time he got angry with me was any match for this... (i kinda refused to get out of the car to get the chicken rice i wanted... he was on the 2nd leftmost lane waiting... so him getting out was insane... but i just refused... just coz i wearing a mis-matched something... my bad...) but i got so scared i just started crying... i dunnoe why as well... it was kinda embarassing... i dunnoe if anyone saw... but i had go to the washroom to wait it out... and apparently he managed to get her to pay... note: APPARENTLY. so i msged her my acc number for the 100th time... and merrily took a drive back to PGP with him and kelv... to prepare the food... until i saw her number flashing on my phone... i passed it to him again... coz i dont feel strong enough to take her on anymore... and this time... she got her friend to call... and make noise about how it isnt her fault... about the payment... and that it's our fault... which is far from the truth because i gave her the option of getting a replacement... something i cannot do on such short notice... i tried... i really did... or whatever the crap... i just burst out crying in the backseat... although he was talking to her in the front... i could hear her every word... and the guy was damn pissed also... i think kelv also panicked... actually not bad to cry in front of guys... suddenly you feel very protected... like real la! damn embarassing can? i was really very frustrated at that point... but once again... the guy apparently settled it once more... the money was coming via IB... note: APPARENTLY. another call came in when we were in the pantry... was a friend again... and i wondered... so there's MORE of her around in NUS... *shrudders in fear* and they were threatening not to pay at all... saying that she even contemplated giving up the exco position just for the course... whatever... sob story... not... freak... i think the club will be quite thankful... (i'm not usually into personal attacks... but this time... it's a whole new game...) saying that they can complain about our club and what crap... the guy just calmly suggested that we all meet at OSA... though i dunnoe why OSA came up... do they really settle such stuff? but he damn power la... this conversation ended on a bad note... so there was no apparent conclusion... but at this point i was damn ready to just forfeit the money just so i wont need to tahan her... they called... again... plural now... coz there is more of them! this time she says she will go... but was asking whether we will condemn her after the episode... scared we purposely dont pass her... suddenly i wished i got my instructor assessment already... whether we'll be there to point fingers... and the guy had to freaking assure her that we wont be there... finally it came by via ATR... and i checked on IB... i smsed a very polite msg about the instructional email i sent her... with super-duper detailed instructions... no reply. i think i won... no doubt with the help of THE GUY... but at least i dont hold grudges and purposely let her go PA without the necessary forms... and make her trip there a wasted one... iRock. (feel free to tag and tell me i do...) ----Stef stopped rambling at 02:13 --Link to Post |
