the world cup season is on! since last friday, many people have watched, drunk many cans of beer, eaten millions of peanuts, laughed or swore at the teams that they support. luckily, i dun belong to this group of people.
went to singapore pools to work for the 1st day ever since world cup starts from 8 to 5 this morning. the office is just like a battleground. whopping 80 telephone operators to accept those gambling freaks out there just before the australia-japan match. and even 80 is not enough. during the last 30 min before the match starts, phone calls juz keep coming. there was even once where i have to stop halfway because i could not even talk anymore. but it is really fun, la. different people called to bet and they have different mentalities. some just wanna soak into the world cup fever; some wanna to earn quick cash while others who think they are gambling gods consider the odds very carefully and try to be spot on.
but i hate conversing in chinese! ahaha. this is because of the terms and technicalites in chinese are not firm in my head. everytime when i know that the customer is chinese-speaking, i will swear or say damn before picking up the phone. hahhaa.
and with so many people around, for every miss or goal by the teams, there will be response in the whole room and it is quite fun to watch together.
going to the battlefield again on thurs with clare and gy! yeah! but u guys work until 3 leaving me behind until 5... haiz. if i m not wrong, thurs got england match. think the phone calls will keep coming too!
heavenknows
