Now add up the total number of points.

Over 60 points: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care" You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 to 60 points: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 to 50 points: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 to 40 points: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 to 30 points: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

Under 21 points: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

I just realized something. Something terribly bad.

I think I am seriously a farktard. I didn’t retrieve my pictures and all on moo’s com before reformatting. Why am I so clumsy, how can I be so clumsy, all the photos in Melbourne… Why why why why why……. Shit me, shit myself. Where did I place my brain when I do that. Oh man……… holy freaking cow…

My photos…..

I suddenly feel a hole in my heart…

My photos…..

I suddenly feel like I’ve lost something…

My photos….

I suddenly feel like punching myself

My photos….

Should I blame it all on moo….

My photos…..

Changing mode ***

Churning into super bad mood mode***

*** moo is coming home soon……*suspense*

So…I have clubbed 2 times within 5 days this week. 1^st the MOS with viki on Ladies night where the retro songs are played. I wouldn’t say I like all their retro songs. Some of it which I don’t really consider very retro after all. But I haven’t been clubbing with viki for a long time, maybe about a year++? This time it served like a …. Bring back memories kind of thing for me. Things like how it’s like clubbing with her, the drinks she would surely order, etc. Only this time, instead of scratching me till I bleed. She kissed me a couple of times. I was starting to doubt if she did it on purpose after missing me so much. But I realized later it’s not. Maybe it’s just because she haven’t been drinking for a loooooooooong period of time. Taking in the same amount of alcohol like last time don’t work anymore. Just that this time, there is no one soul that would bring her to prata shop for a warm bowl of mutton soup after she is drunk semi- drunk.

It was days of working in between. Then 27^th, it’s another night of partying. Halloween’s night was moved forward by some clubs and it was held on Saturday. I went with a full on costume/make up, blackie went with a gothic style look. I would say most of the people who saw the full on costume/make up thinks it was scary. Although some thinks that I look like a tranny, but it didn’t stop me from proceeding to the halloween’s night with a full on. I didn’t dare to get off the cab when I reach st james power station initially but I had to coz blackie chased me out of the taxi. Everyone was looking at my direction coz the percentage of people who dress up there is so at the minimum, so I became the odd one out, a very outstanding odd one out. Made our way to powerhouse. That’s where I am meeting my friend. I’ve mentioned that I didn’t like dragonfly, and she said she won’t be staying there for long. In the end she changed her mind and decided to stay there. So me and blackie head over to MOS instead. Didn’t even get to see her one bit coz of the queue at dragon fly. It didn’t matter THAT much to me coz I had free entry anyway thanks to the full on costume. Blackie had to pay entrance fee for both side. Coz the atmosphere in st james wasn’t really what I expected. The Halloween end up like some freak show enjoyable by Malays. I did manage to scare some people though a few interesting things happened too. It’s more like a string of funny event happen to us on the whole trip last night. The people and atmosphere in MOS is so much more different. I could easily say it lead to one of the best clubbing night ever. I kind of regretted we didn’t stay longer coz there were so much fun. It became one of those unforgettable type, maybe coz this is the 1^st time I spent Halloween in a club, I think.

We headed over to TCC after that to have a cooling glass of tea and some solid food. Saw many costume wearers along the way with much creativity and effort. Of coz there are definitely lots of angels and devils as well, but those are the standards. The unique one are Egyptian queen, mermaid, farmers and vegetables etc etc. it is really cute.

There are some pics, but it is with blackie whose computer was down, so I didn’t manage to get any photos yet. Will be as soon as her computer is fixed, up, and running.

Brought relatives along.

Totally unexpected.

Dad got my usual facial set, happy.

Relatives thrown inside my room, not very happy.

Dad bought choco pebbles, look like stones, think it was cool.

I told him these are popular years ago.

Relatives hinted obviously they want my bed, both of them.

Didn’t have much choice but to let them have it.

*Slept on the floor, with mattress.

Not use to it, cannot sleep.

Wake up feeling like zombie.

Late for work coz my phone time was set wrongly.

Watch Korean drama at work.

Guess what will happen next on the drama.

100% correct.

Bought dinner for dad’s girl on the way home.

Surf the www.weloveair.com

Found my dream bed.

Sad that I bought bed from Ikea.

Prepared to sleep on the floor until Wednesday pass*

*This should be my routine till Wednesday.

First it was meeting up blackie for presents from her trip. She sure bought a lot for me, and not only that, the presents are so me. I specially love this…

That is the first time I actually stepped into esplanade although I’ve been there many times sitting at the side of the river and smoking

It was after a while that pam and her bunny arrives and we get down to helping her in her project but it was half funny.

We proceed to max brenners , the place which pam intro-ed for good chocolate shots.

It was indeed good, they didn’t have that many variety but the consuming methods are definitely unique.

It wasn’t exactly shots u just drink from shot glasses. You had to melt the chocolate slowly adding a little milk on the burner, and suck it with this metal tube, thus the name suckao.

Blackie ordered something lick, thus licking bits of chocolate from her ice cream stick.

The smell of waffles was in the air, but all of us manage to curb urge to order them.

We cross over to marina square after that and did some shopping, blackie manage to get her shoes, and they wandered around the whole marina square for my jacket. I manage to get a wear over from zara, it wasn’t exactly a jacket but enough to keep me from being too cold the best part is that it wasn’t expensive.

The dinner we’re so looking forward to is located at mohamad sultan, a place called Mondo Mio. It’s an Italian cuisine although I don’t know what the name of the place means.

The appetizer is very hammy, but I like one of them which is quite salty but nice, blackie shared the same taste as me on that one.

The pasta there was not bad, but the chicken was fabulous, I regretted not ordering that, so I kept looking at the chicken they ordered whenever they didn’t notice. The carbonara was nice too, the cream was just nice, but I have special love for creamy things so I don’t mind more.

We didn’t order any desserts or whatsoever, I guess they had quite a sinful afternoon already.

We went to TCC after that, ordered ice green apple tea and desserts, only the 2 big ones ordered desserts. I never tried their desserts before, and it was kind of special. Not that I will keep wanting for more, but it’s nice as it is. I am not gonna say what is inside, you just have to guess or u can go try it urself.

That’s the end of my semi-food blog. I believe you girls notice something new today, yeah although it’s not gonna be very useful, but I still added an ad on the right side to earn that few cents. So keep clicking my friend.

Do you know the meaning of sinful…

Do you know…

I have sinned far from forgivable, even after complaining that I am putting on weight, even after meeting a long ago friend and he told me “eh… you look much more… big boned” even after knowing my weights are nothing but increasing, even after I know that if I don’t start getting lighter, I will end up getting much heavier by Christmas and then new year… even after……. And even after.

Yesterday I kind of talked my moo into bringing me out for dinner, I suggested food court, he suggested V8. Although it was not too expensive either, just the casual western style, but I always hear him talk about saving $ yet he chose a place that will cost 3 times more to eat. Not that I mind though, he is paying anyway. I ordered eve’s garden, it seems the lunch menu and dinner menu are slightly different. I don’t remember seeing eve’s garden before the many times I came at lunch time, so why not give it a go.

The sauce on dory fish is really appetizing, but after a few more mouthful, it feels like I am eating a big plate of appetizer for dinner… feel kind of weird. It was nice, just … its dinner….. I don’t want to eat something which makes me full but still feel like eating more, it almost seemed like there isn’t a full stop for dinner. I am stuck at comma, but it has ended.

It was raining today, so I ate indoor. No more usual $2.30 boneless chicken rice with $0.50 drink. Went into a Korean café, and ordered bulgogi beef set. They had nice side dish, it’s just a small café in a pathetic corner of chevron house near the toilet, nevertheless, it’s good as they have different variety of side dish all in one set.

It’s a little costly for an afternoon work lunch though. That’s why I always hate rain during work. Not only it’s too darn cold, I have to eat expensive lunch coz it doesn’t look like anything indoor is cheap. 1 indoor meal = 3.5 outdoor meal. It means having a week of indoor meal would be almost equivalent to having a month of outdoor meal. After counting this way, it just sucks.

Back to topic.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any proper Korean restaurant around that really serve Korean food in Korean style, I miss Seoul House in Melbourne. They always have plenty of side dishes at with unlimited refill. And at grandma kimchi, there is this cold bowl of noodle which is so chewy and almost hard to eat, but nice. I only know one place in Singapore that have the cold beef noodle soup, and that is The Heeren. Maybe I haven’t been to enough places to know more, but I hope I can go back there one day to have the dish again. It wasn’t really the best place to go though, the last time I went, they have only one pathetic side dish. It was nice, but just not enough.

Brought my cousins out for dinner today, to Tao’s… again.

Those who haven’t been there before, it’s a restaurant which serve 6-7 course meal letting you chose from a few variety of each course. It sounds like a lot but the portion is small, so its about just right for a meal.

*Warning* the follow pictures are more than sinful, may the holy ones not continue down the page.

After a series of courses, we’re all so full we didn’t manage to make our way home straight away. We couldn’t carry the weight on our stomach so we enjoy the free flow of tea available. The waiter was kind to offer us complimentary desserts, but we’re all so full so we turned down the offer. The crew there was erm … friendly though, I don’t know, maybe trying to be a humorous? Sometimes they are, a little. But it makes our dinner more enjoyable anyway, so we didn’t mind. Maybe we’re the awkward bunch so they teased us more, a girl wearing a big singtel Tee with shorts, a girl wearing her secondary school uniform, a girl who look so shagged it looks as if her eyes almost drop out. And a boy who is definitely a very obvious primary school boy, eating at a nicely decorated semi-jap restaurant while other people are either couples’ friends or those obvious family with parents and kids. Compared to that, we look like unwanted orphans. But worry not, we’re not.

After some time, we finally made our way back home. I was feeling a bit too pai sei sitting there for so long asking for refills of tea. I need the ladies too anyway. I thought my sinning would stop there.

I was wrong, very, very wrong.

I stole the spiral fishcake from moo's chu qian yi ding instant noodle...

After that.....

My aunt’s maid brought up the usual, cakes from Rives Gauche. Four boxes of it, I thought the usual strawberry something, something orange, choco something, cheese something. They have been buying these flavors for one whole year, or even the years before I came back to Singapore. This time there are four boxes, I was curious at the increased amount of boxes so I decided to take a look anyway.

I saw something other than the four cakes mentioned above, and it looks so very chocolaty. I took one and ….

Had a few bites and…

Decided to add one more in ….

SIN!!! Although it was shared by 2 person but… SINFUL!!!!

I am gonna go for chocolate shots tomorrow. Even more sinful… someone please pull me out of the abyss of sinful eating….

It seems that recently Viki had some kind of advertising going on in her blog, and the amount of $ she earns pretty much depends on visitors to her blog as well as the amount of people who click the ads.

If anyone is free or wouldn’t mind doing a few extra click, go ahead and click this http://lovesvnk.blogspot.com/

Check out her ads and stuff or you can also start putting ads at ur blog and make a inter click society. Lol…. Lame….

Sat was quite a day, a quiet day. Nothing much happened, bear came over last night to have a few rounds of dota with moo. Watch some downloaded movies like 300 transformers and casino royale. It seems that there are good qualities p*r*t*d movies out there. I have downloaded some with people going to toilet halfway through the movie, some with low batt sign near the end of the movie, and some with coughing and laughing background sound etc etc. It made me give up downloading them after a while, but lately, I was introduced to axxo. Just go search the torrents for axxo and you’ll find a lot of good quality movies for downloads.

After some slacking and lazing around, napping etc on Saturday, (wanted to go swim but it’s raining) we head of to Cathay to catch the show brothers. Luckily we book beforehand coz the tickets were out by the time we got there.

The movie is good, well a little of humor, a little of suspense and you don’t really know what the main character is thinking until the end… It didn’t have a lot of action by hunkies, so… for those who only go for those well build young nice looking guys who jump around going *bang bang bang* and die in a weird funny and terrible way. Forget about this show eh. Anyway, I still like Andy Lau acting in one of these kinda role rather than the always cool and always sorrowful expression with pain in the smile look.

We got back feeling really tired as it was a midnight show. Went home and sleep…

Sunday started out in a shocking morning. Not exactly shock shock, but when I woke up, bear was gone, neither me or moo knows he’s gone. He just left without a sound. Well moo was supposed to fetch bear to the mrt station, but knowing how lazy and never keeping his promises moo is… I guess bear decided to save the trouble and disappointment and just make his way to the mrt station alone. Poor bear…

I continued to sleep after Moo left for work. Till the noon come and the sun ray hit my face. I know it is a good day to swim. So yeah~ I went swimming… This time alone well, like most other times anyway.

The sun was really good today, I baked myself under the sun for 45 mins, and swim for 45 mins. I didn’t really have enough of swimming yet but decided to head back home coz I still have housework to finish =~~ gah, I hate house work.

The good thing is, my maid left for indo for her malay new year celebration. It means that, due to my mysterious laziness, I would probably rather be hungry then go down to get food… = eat less = shrink my stomach = eat lesser to fill up my tummy in the future… I wonder how long it can go, maybe I should go back to my instant noodle days… I guess I gonna make ONE trip down and fill up my kitchen with instant noodles….

Compared to others, you are easily able to see situations from many different angles. You also understand how things work in a very practical way.

We head back home for a while afterwards and head of to swim. But it wasn’t a good day though; the weather wasn’t kind to us. It was just about 1 hour of swim/tan before the dark cloud starts to float by and thunder was heard. The 1 hour swim we had wasn’t under the broad sunny day either. We didn’t get much of the tan we wanted, so we head for the sauna. It was my cousin’s first time trying the sauna although she had lived at the apartment there for years. I guess their family wasn’t keen on using the facilities they have there, or they didn’t even know it was there. She said she felt like she was in the desert but I was the one sweating like a roasted pig. I enjoyed it though, she on the other hand didn’t break a sweat and was feeling tortured. After intentionally making the sauna hotter and hotter, she finally succumbed to the heat and went out of the room. I thought it was fun, she thought it was like torture.

Went out of the ladies to check the condition of the weather before we finally decide on heading home. Gave up, totally, it looks like it’s about to rain anytime soon… Total disappointment I would say, I hardly got chance to enjoy the tan with company.

A little bit of resting at home and went off to have dinner with my sis, it’s not just my sis alone though, my cousin whom I hardly see or talk to, my brother whom I never really talk to although I see him every day, and his girlfriend whom I see sometimes but hardly talk to. I thought it will feel awkward at first, well at some point of time I really did feel awkward but the food there really suck me in so much that I kind of forgotten about the awkwardness.

It was “dian xiao er” we went to at marina square. The place is a tiny eatery but unique design. It was designed to be like those erm… ancient Chinese food stall on the street where people don’t raise their hands for waitress, they just shout “XIAO ER!!!SHANG CHAI” but of coz, no one does that now. The waitress wearing those ancient chinese style waitress uniforms too.

The food was great, the herbal duck is their specialty and the sauce wasn’t that thick in texture but deep in taste. Although it is deep herbal taste but it wasn’t those smelly kind, in fact I quite like the smell to it. The duck itself almost seemed like Beijing roast duck. The skin is crispy although its soaked in herbal sauce. The meat wasn’t too hard like some eateries. The skin, omg, I believed I took almost half of the dish with the crispy skin on it. Those with little meat and a lot of skin… ooooh..

The sesame blah blah chicken is nice too… appetizing I would say. The sauce is a little sour, a little sweet with a little spice. The sauce was thick, but none of the taste involved was too extreme, it was a good blend with special aroma added to it.

There were some weird conversation going on halfway the meal though, pretty much about my brother’s girlfriend’s job but somehow related to me. It seems I became an ideal candidate for their project’s target of interview. She say I met the criteria, so I thought why not? About 5 seconds after I agree, she started spelling out the criteria. Christian but more to the radical type(I am? Ok..), IT savvy, (I am? Ok..) Female (Definitely) and some other things which she said made me feel doubtful if I am really what she is looking for. Anyway, since I agreed and she think of me this way, (not necessary good, I don’t really like people thinking of me this way.) but c’mon, who likes 100% what people think about that be it right or wrong. Decided to give it a go either way, She haven’t give me the details yet, I was half hoping she will forget about it. There is no $ to earn anyway, but if might not be a bad thing if their interview process suddenly hit them that I am not all what they think I am.

Anyway…

It was my sis last night in Singapore before she head for her Europe trip, so the meal ended up being her treat. We head to another place for desserts after that.

“Azabu Sabo” well, you can tell from the name that it’s a jap place, specialize in desserts though. The place is nicely decorated.They have a wide range of desserts not to mention the special flavor. Not everywhere you can find these flavors or combination of taste. The black sesame ice cream there was good, but not thick enough, I prefer those in jap mochi ice cream. Much thicker… more flavor.

The milk shake there is such a bitch. I know its damn fattening yet I can’t help but order one glassful. Chocolate banana milk shake. Not much of chocolate though, more banana. I had wanted to order something else more chocolaty but I just want to try the banana chocolate coz I can’t remember when I last had something like that. It’s probably not hard to make at home. But … laziness is the reason why I am fat in the first place.

Anyway, after we ordered what we want, all the girls went to the ladies and to giodarno getting all the needs after the little accident in dian xiao er (waitress drop plate, stain the clothes etc) After getting the needs, I walked into Billy Bombers thinking it was Azabu Sabo. Quite clumsy of me these 2 weeks walking into all the wrong places. Halfway when I couldn’t find the seats my brother and cousin was. I realized the whole décor of the place is not right… Had my sister and future sister in law laughing at me… I guess I am getting use to all the clumsiness lately.

Recently though, I feel like having some real chocolate shots, those in Melbourne. Thick and oooooo, chocolaty. I miss it soooo much… if someone would da bao that thing from Melbourne for me, I will kiss her till her face rot half way.

So if someone, anyone, knows of any place in Singapore which serve something called the chocolate shots, let me know. It’s basically a thick chocolaty liquid, super duper thick kind. In a shot glass… My body is screaming for that forbidden potion. Please let me have it….

Raining cows and chickens today, whole day long… Not only it’s a Monday, it’s a tiring Monday coz someone came back from work at 3 am in the morning and I didn’t have a good sleep cos of it.

Not that I can blame him though, he is already at such a plight and I didn’t want to make it worse.

The rain didn’t make me feel better, it was cold, and I was really sleepy. It was still drizzling during my lunch hour, so I had to source my food from indoor. I walked pass this less than 2 meters of unsheltered patch and saw how an office lady reacted to the pathetic drizzle that fall onto her… Its less then 2 meters across… drizzling….

Lady 1 : It’s raining la, later shirt wet, very cold you know.

Lady2 : use newspaper la, the newspaper for what one.

Lady1 : U go first u go first.

Lady2 : *walk across the patch like normal people would*

Lady1 : *hop across the patch* while saying “aaaahh *high pitch tone* aaahh aaaah hahahahaha omg”

I rolled my eyes while walking pass this weird lady. How is it that anyone can walk pass an unsheltered patch when its drizzling so patheticly, already having a set of newspaper to cover her stupid head and still aaahahaha like a pail of water was pour over them.

Oh man, the things people do which amuses me in the negative way, or sometimes, positive.

The red balls came again today, still net tearing and scary snatching, no improvement, not that I expect there would be.

Putting the sad red balls aside, I have a new toy…

The Akira Vintage Radio…

Not truly old though, like blackie said, if it is the really old type, then it won’t be labeled vintage.

Went to my cousin’s place to fix her com. Not exactly fix la, but reformat it again coz that is the only thing I know how to without the aid of google.

Like the previous time I went go, I expect the door to be unlocked since they’re expecting me. So I stop outside the door, took off my slippers, dry my umbrella, and walked in. I saw that the color of the wall seems different… the lights are abnormally dim. There is a man sitting at the sofa by the window, doing something on his hands, I didn’t see him clearly, So I stood there stunted for a while, thinking, “ since when my uncle become so thin and the hair so short or almost can’t see the hair, the hair color seems to match his surrounding somehow, dyed his hair? Can’t be wad traditional guy my uncle is…”

All these few moments when I am in my own thoughts while looking at him blankly, he was looking back at me too, wasn’t sure if he was shocked or curious. So he asked “yes?”

I was lost… in my mind I mean, I didn’t mean direction lost, but well yeah, that as well.. anyway, I was lost and I walked in a little to peek the corner where my cousin place her computer. There is nothing down there!!! Only then I realized that I have walked into the wrong house… Shock as I was, I look at the man again for a few seconds without knowing what to say. And finally the words manage to find its way out of my mouth… “ah…. Wrong house… sorry….”

Close the door, moved my slippers to the next unit (this time the correct house). Left my umbrella to dry there coz I was too damn pai seh to think more… ring my cousin’s door bell and finally I saw my cousin, different cousin, but surely the right house, I didn’t wait another second to hop into the house…

I just remembered some happy things that happen earlier this week. So I guess it’s not that bad after all, and here I thought nothing good happened. I just didn’t remember…

At raffles place square, where all the banks are and the two big tv screen is. There are three ‘field’ on the square where a few big red stone ball are located. “stay curious” can be found on the ball surface. Lately, there are a few weird advertisement going around there by OCBC. Instead of that few red big ball, they spread out a whole bunch of red ball of all sizes all around. They are exercise balls, the biggest one can be used as a chair if you want but of coz, happy balancing. They come by once every few days to throw the balls all over the three field and let the public carry it home…

It was quite fresh to see at first but lately its getting scary, initially when this is new, not many people knew that they are allowed to take it home. I manage to take one of the biggest ball mid way when people starts to know that the ball is FFA. It wasn’t easy already, coz people somehow manage to ‘reserve’ the ball by standing at specific location. I still manage to get it though, lucky me, because after that day, all the events have been a total disaster…

I didn’t mean to be bias, but I have to say, Singaporeans really living up to the label ‘kiasu’. I have to admit, I myself is kiasu too, looking out for sales and so on, but I won’t snatch with people for a piece of clothes or shoes. Most of the time, I would just play the nice lady role and give it up. That wasn’t the case for that bunch of people whom I thought was prideful, and some demure. Some people can walk into a shop and make unreasonable request and demand we do as he says. Some people can walk into a shop full of stupid question but is polite or shy at the same time. Although these two type of people could be categorized into opposite character easily. They all react the same way when they see free things. Take? No they don’t take. They Snatch!

I was initially not satisfied with just one big ball, I want the other three smaller sizes as well, but the scene was such a horror, it left me shocked and speechless. People are standing all around the field patches as if they are preparing for war. It looked like they will rush into the field right the second the balls are ready to be collected. I was wrong, very, very wrong. I was there waiting for the go ahead sign from the people who brought the balls in. They are still spreading them out, not all of them have been released from their net, I suppose I could wait. It was then when they are releasing the last two bags of largest ball, the office working people whom I thought was all I thought, rushed in for the kill. They didn’t wait for the go ahead sign. They didn’t care. They were stopped by the people in charged. They didn’t care. They are not allowed to do that, because it wasn’t ready, they haven’t finish their job. They didn’t care. They were asked to move back, they didn’t care. Just snatch the netting bags of balls from the worker, they couldn’t wait any longer, not even a few minutes more. Tear the bag as if it is full of raw diamonds inside. Push it all into the big black garbage bag they prepared. As many as possible, call their friends for help to take more. I can’t believe my eyes… for god’s sake, they are the office people… since when they became aunties at market. Or is their pay so low nowadays that they need to do this?

All these events render the workers helpless. 90% of the many, many balls were gone anyway, what could they do? I stood there looking at all the happenings, I didn’t dare to go out and take the red balls, was totally in shock. I rather not get involved in those snatchings and what almost seems like brawling. Scary, scary…

The good thing is, I still got my biggest red ball at the premises of my own room. I am glad as it is already… my first exercise ball,

but clueless on how to go about using it.

Recently my blog have been updated only weekly it seems. Just didn’t have enough energy from my lazy body to blog after work every day, not that there is much to talk about either. A few things happened this week, some scary, some stupid, some pek chek-ing , some lameness, and some? Totally pisses me off. Most of it all happened at my work place.

So… there, I have been working on a semi customer service line for a few months now I would say. There has so many weird cases which amaze me to no end. I stand in the shop whole day waiting for the right customers but most of them are irrelevant people asking for help. And Most of the time, they ask for help which could be solve with some simple thinking of testing. To think the place I work at are full of educated office working people. At least my impression of office working people are full of ideas, knowledge, organized, and willing to look for solutions for most cases, I was indeed quite wrong.

There seems to be a bunch of office ladies around who wear nice looking skirt, slim long sleeves shirt, and mid way belt wearing nice high heels which looks expensive, and of coz expensive looking bags, they smell like a lady and act like one. They seems to trust their office guy as their “technical advisor” although not all of them may be technically inclined, but since they have a stick in their pants. They must know everything… If they say something is this way, it MUST be this way then, they can’t be wrong, how could they be wrong? They are the almighty guys who knows everything…”My technical guys, those guys around.. blah blah ( told me so)”

In one of this cases, a lady came to me and told me half furiously that her device was not working upon purchase the day before, and would like to change to a brand new one. In much doubt, I had to examine her device before actually letting her make a scene at the main counter. *Just like most customers would do* I listen to her explanation and then tried to do some settings to the device, but as I was trying to take the device from her, she was all trying to explain much, much more into detail, telling me about things the her guys told her etc… seems that she was afraid that I might damage the device more in a single touch or some sort. “it must be spoiled” she claimed. I had to politely ‘beg’ her to let me try, and then did some simple settings to her device, and there she got a working device… This wasn’t all that bad… but I didn’t feel like talking about the bad ones… not really in the mood too…

There is a funny one though, a lady came in to the counter and one of my colleagues ‘L’ served her.

Lady : ( queries )

L : ( answers )

Lady : Oh~ ! How did you know how to blah blah blah….

L : your common sense will tell you mdm.

Lady : Oh yeah, you are right…

L : *dumbfound*

Yeap yeap, unfortunately these are just some of the people we serve on daily basis…

I didn’t know if it was my recent down swing, or just purely being pissed coz of the time taken to process an online purchase. So I sent a not so polite email to the seller to find out what is going on, and she sent a not so polite email back which spoils my mood for the night… Pissed but worried at the same time coz she may just end up delaying it more… or maybe not…. Anyway here it is…

My Email to her seller

Hi Dawn,

I am Jacinth Ho, 81715121. I understand that making the 2nd payment is for something like the filling up of the lack of shipping fee. I had done my 2nd payment as requested, shouldn't it meant that my bags arrived safely thus requires the 2nd payment to be made?

My name didn't appear on the first shipment list and I was informed that it was on pre-order status. I made the purchase from PG mall near the end of July, I have expected the product to arrived latest by mid of September due to the 4 - 6 weeks , but until October it is still on pre-order status?

Is there a reason why this happen? And if so, is it possible for me to know about when I can really finally receive the products I bought all at one go.

Your response to my queries thus far have been efficient and helpful, I really do appreciate that, but the speed in getting hold of the PG Mall product has been quite slow to say. It was meant as a birthday gift but I didn't end up being able to give her on time.

If possible, please update me as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Jacinth Ho

And then… her reply to me…

Hi Jacinth,

U made ur payment on mid july,doesnt mean the spree is closed then. Spree ended in mid august.

Moreover, 4-6weeks is onli approximately.

2nd payment has nothing to do with wat ur bags have arrived safely or wat. we have paid seller first before they will processed the order.

It is rightful that u all pay us back.

U asked why is it so that ur bags are nt here. of cos its cos u ordered bags that need to be pre-ordered.

The bags pre-order processing time is not up to me to decide ok. I got no control except keep sending the seller email.

In the future, pls do not join sprees if u are in rush for items. The total time taken for a spree is not fixed; subject to stock availability.

It is very unkind of u to blame for us for the delay. We certainly dun deserve that.

The latest updates given by PG is that there are 2 more bags which are pre-ordering.

*end of email*

It is of coz only a coincident though, that out of so many orders, there are only 2 bags under pre-order status and it belongs to me, even though I have no recollection of these bags being pre-orders… at all…

I didn’t plan to have anymore dispute with her way of handling these purchases because I really didn’t want to offend her any further in case she decides to just keep my purchases until next year. Didn’t plan on buying anything from them anymore after this experience. First and last time, period.

So, yeah, sadly, there is really nothing much to be happy about this week other then purchases from another spree have been received and passed to me by Pammy. Good thing coz it was really suppose to be birthday present for a friend. Now I just need to get a nice box for it…

Hope better things come along for the rest of this weekend… else I would really sianz ½ for the whole of next week…
