Tis' the season to be ill

Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 5:27 PM
First, sis fell sick.
Then, mum contracted it.
Lo and behold, so did I.


It started with a minor sore throat yesterday morning.
I didn't think too much of it.
So, I was still able to attend classes.


Classes ended at 3.30pm.
Got home by four and had an early dinner.
Did some housework.
Then, I felt even more unwell.


Went to bed feeling feverish.
Suddenly, body started to ache.
So, I slept and slept and slept.


Mum insisted that I were to see a doc.
My temperature was as high as 38.7 degree Celsius.
Doc gave me two days of rest.


Now, I have developed some flu too.
Some CNY this year it turn out to be.


On another note, calculus homework is due on next Wednesday.
Mid terms is the Saturday right after CNY.
Stats assignment is due straight after mid terms.

College is cruel.

I seem to be losing more friends than gaining new ones.

Hurts like hell but oh well. Life goes on.

Someone said never judge a population over an individual's action.

He went on to condemn about the talks on racism and sexism.

I apologise but I have to say this.


Nick.
You are such an ass. You said you are hurt by Melissa's actions yet you took her back into your life. You don't want to complete your education. It is left hanging in the air without any hint of returning. The last time I heard from you was one and half months ago. Since then, lots of things have happened.

The reason I said guys are real jerks is because they are which includes you. Don't think that you are all that noble. If you are, you wouldn't give up on things and do it half-heartedly.

You want attention before you have your gf. So, you came and talk to me. We texted and chatted on msn. All of a sudden, you ceased ALL connections. How do you expect me to feel ?

Yes, you are a jerk. Look at yourself before condemning all those statuses on facebook. You went through a hard broke-up last year and you spoke badly of her. You went through the same with Melissa. Back then, you said the same thing too. Now that you are happy in a relationship, you change your story around. Make up your mind.


I dont know why I bother typing this out. Could be down to being furious at your status. Valentine's Day is coming up. Keep everything you do to yourself. The whole world doesn't need anymore boasting. Think of your other single friends including me who doesn't have any special one to share it with. Think of the hurt that you may cause.


Signing off.


Friends

Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 9:10 PM
Maybe I am.


Insignificant.


The new friends I make say I am nice. The friends that I met almost a year ago are drifting away. One even said that it's because I always deviate from the topic.


I tried to make situations as less awkward as possible. By asking questions or creating a random topic.


Damian asked if I could give him a moment as he was writing on a card. Cheng Yee refused to talk to me after the talk the other day. Heck, she stopped speaking to me since the end of last year. Theresa is constantly taking Cheng Yee's side. Marcus Lim is always there so I am not surprise that he thinks the same as Cheng Yee.


Agnes is constantly with her gang. Carmen and Tini are always together. Eugene is mellow yet still funny when he's around me.


Marcus Yuen talks to me quite often. My new friend, Adrian too was very sweet. Hariz is nice too. He helped with the handing out of yearbooks though he didnt have to. Nadia is always with Kuan Li. By the way, she said she has presents for me. Till now, I dont see any. That's why I dont believe in promises.


Jian is too hyper for me sometimes. A joy to have around but not when one is down.


Jane spoke to me more often now. Maybe 'cause no one else is there. Jason is cool too. Christine is funny and adorable. Nick has ceased all connections apart from one small comment on facebook. Adam is cool too. Samuel has his moods. If he like it, then he talks. If not, too bad. I hardly see Raymond these days. He is one of the easier people to talk to.



Off college, high school friends have all walked their separate ways. It's hard to get everyone together again. We need to have a reunion where everyone HAS and absolutely has to meet up.
Wei Fen, Cherng, Kwan Han, Chung Zhih, Zhi Yang, Hong Chun, Yuen Yeng, Je Hui, Natasha Ting, Elizabeth, Amirah, Zi Qian, ...



Joanne and I speak lesser these days. Daniel has his moodswings too.


Can't talk to anyone but God. He understands me but sometimes I need a friend to lean on.


I dont know why I update my blog at all or even keep one. No one reads these ramblings anyway. Who wants to read about a depressing post anyway ?

I love Forrest Gump.

I love Glee.

I love Forrest Gump even more.

I dislike you. Hate is too strong of a word but I am getting there.

The list of YOU is pretty long. And it's growing.

Jian is sweet enough to notice it. But that's because I somehow didn't feel like talking to him even when he acknowledged me a few times. Then, he kept asking me if I was angry with him. Nice guy. Easily misunderstood.

Lazy to blog more.

I love Forrest Gump. A lot.

Here is a preview of what the movie is like.

One word. Naive. In a good way.



Sometimes It's Alright to Make a Fuss

Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 7:13 PM
Lesson for the day : Sometimes It's Alright to Make a Fuss.

Let's rewind.

I had an extremely busy morning.


Case 1
I went out to ss2 market at 6.30am with grandma and mum. There was a festive feeling in the air even though it was still dark. Businessmen and women alike set up their stall at their allocated spots. The whole street was filled with Chinese New Year decos. Not an inch of road was left untouched. No space to walk at all. It's really awesome. Simply speechless.

Sorry for not describing the feeling in photos. I will try to capture a few shots but only with the permission of the stall owners. They are a bit touchy when it comes to this.


Case 2
I came back and unpacked the fresh goods into the fridge. Then, I had to change straight away as I head to Tesco to buy groceries. Mum and I bought quite some stuff as everything finished at home. Nothing much la.


Case 3
Headed home to dump the fresh goods into the fridge and headed out to Midvalley. Mum, sis and I reached Midvalley at almost 10am. So, there were many people there already. Again, we went to Carrefour to check on some groceries. Milo was cheap so we bought. Plus, it came with free 200gm of Milo but had to claim from the Customer Service counter.

When we were at the cashier, the queue were horrendous ! The cashiers were slow despite having at least ten being open. Slower than tortoise. I am just grateful I didn't have to wait until I am 50 for the line to end.

When we were done paying and everything else, sis went to collect the free Milo packs. The Customer Service counter were even slower. With two staff handling the counter versus a herd of customers, the outcome is never good.

Here's where out topic starts.

There were two lines but because everyone was standing so close to one another, they couldn't see it. Still, it wasn't that transparent. They were ignorant and blind. Typical Malaysians. Then, when I stood at the second line, the girl next to me questioned me.


Girl : Excuse me. *gave me a look from up to down*

Me : *stays quiet but gave her a killer look*

Girl : *shuts up due to embarassment as she realizes about the second line. *

Me : *satisfied*


Wait. wait. Me not done yet. More satisfaction to come.


I felt so malas to stand at the line as both are barely moving. Since my sis was lining up too, so I just left and stood at the side to mind the groceries. Here comes to bad news.


Sis : They have ran out of the free Milo.

Me and Mum : That's just bulls**t.

This is where things got interesting. Mum and I created some havoc which left the management in embarassment.

Me : *speaks in Hokkien* They still have the packs. They just refuse to bring it out.

Mum : Yeah la ! They are always like that. Dunno what is their problem.

Bla bla bla moments later.

It was sis' turn. They issued some vouchers to her. Then they quietly gave the Milo packs to her even though they told some customers earlier that they had ran out of it.



Moment of triumph !



The customers looked stunned.


Mum and I felt satisfied.



Let's analyse this situation critically.

1. The ad said that for every 2kg of Milo, it comes with a free 200gm of Milo in a mini pack.

2. If Milo had every intention to promote their drink, they would definitely supply the same amount of free packs to the retailers.

3. Customer Service is always lazy. And they want to keep the free stuff to themselves. - A tip from the insiders-



So, yeah. Sometimes it's alright to make a fuss.


As a customer, remember the TWO RULES that define ALL customer - business relationships.


Rule #1.

Customer is ALWAYS right.

Rule #2.

If customer is wrong, REREAD RULE #1 !!



Till next time.
