Horrible service etiquette!

I am very particular about GOOD SERVICE, especially when comes to buying some costly product. Jo and me went shopping today at orchard and she's looking for some suitable eyeliners. So e brand tt came into our mind is Shu Uemura. The favourable brand commonly used in most local female magazines.

Yes! Shu Uemura, its not only about their products..(i like it alot). Its their BAD SERVICE ETIQUETTE i am getting EVERYTIME. No kidding. We requested for our eye pencils to be sharpened and this sales assistant said STERNLY: "Come back later."
What the $@#&*^!%!?!?!?

What sort of attitude is this?? Should they treat customers this way? Look, this is at Taka's counter and another horrid place is at Raffles City Robinsons. I get the same attitude there.

Jo wanna test on their eyeliner which is the liquid kind and she requested the sales gal for a demo because she's inexperience. The sales gal did it reluctantly and did not even offer to clean away after that! I've never use an eyeliner before so out of curiosity i wanna try e pencil type and see wat's the effect. I asked another sales gal for help and she (with a sulky expression) RELUCTANTLY drew it for me and did it horribly. Fed up!!!! I asked for a remover cos i know she wont be nice enough to offer.

You see? I'm sure you gals who are using any of Shu Uemura's product know tt it's aint cheap right? But see tt kinda service i'm getting just makes me think twice on whether shd i buy from them or not. So far, i dont have any prob with other brands except for this one!

If they have any feedback form popping out from some corner, i'll surely complain~ hmpf!!!

A bad ending~

I look forward to 6pm everyday so that i can get back home asap! BUTS....Argh!! Today sux...big time~ I have to exchange my IC for a security pass before i can enter the building and vice versa after work. I dont know what's so special today, the queue at the greeter counter is freaking long, imagine i have to queue up to exchange for my IC will take up 10 mins of my time! And i am really really desperate to get home after recieving a urgent call..

UNFORTUNATELY..(i shall put it this way) my male colleagues took the same lift as me...

An exception, i have to cut queue. Alright i am morally wrong here, i should not cut queue BUT i am desperate! Partly also it takes less than 5 seconds to exchange for my IC, its not as if the security guard have to access the system or watsoever..The grp of my colleagues were behind me, thinking tt i can help them out as well. I didnt.

I passed him my card.

He ignored me and said loudly: "Who's next?"

I said: "Sorry, I am in a hurry."

He said loudly: "Can you be FAIR to others in e queue?!?!?!"

ok. My fault. But then i persist and shouted at him cos i am really really desperate to get home...cant he make an exception?? Its not going take like hours or even MINUTES to change for my IC right?? Cant he be flexible a little??

He's left with no choice but to give in.

Bet my colleagues have seen it all. They're gonna talk crap behind my back that i'm some shrew or bitch. Who cares? I aint like this unless i have my reasons k. haiz..anyway no difference lah, i'm condemned at my workplace liaoz..heng! i dint help my cols..wat for? its not as if they'll thank me or sth? Worst of all, i'm only carrying the shit for them.

Enough!!

NDP is ard the corner! Cheer up a little manz...this is hilarious..=p


New lyrics to National Day Songs

Sing them to remember their deceits and insults and refusals to
apologize.


-- Sing to "We are Singapore"


There was a time when Richard said
That TT Durai didn't do it, but he did
There was a time when Richard said
That NKF didn't do it, but they did
They built NKF, strong and rich, reaching out together
For more and more money


Chorus 1:
It is our money, it is our blood,
It is our kindness, it is our tears,
Don't take our money, to be your bonus
Don't cheat Singapore, Singaporeans



--Sing to "One people, one nation, one Singapore"


We've built NKF with our brains
With educated people from a rich lands
Strangers when we first began, now we're all con man
Let's reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore


Chorus:
Con people, con nation, con Singapore
That's the way that we believe forevermore
Every dollar and every cent, every woman and every man
Con people, con nation, con Singapore


And when the time comes for the trial
Say nothing, give only denials
We'll be united, hand in hand
We'll show the world just where we stand
And reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore

(Repeat Chorus twice)
Con people, con nation, con Singapore
--

--Sing to "A Place in My Heart"

Verse 1:
It doesn't matter where I fly from
It doesn't matter what I do
It doesn't matter what I believe in
It only matters how secret it is


Bridge:
It only matters I fly in business class
Upon each single flight I take
It only matters I keep it a secret
Enjoying up in the sky

Chorus:
Conscience has no place in my heart
I will always fly first class
Every mile I fly every secret I keep
There's nothing I can't overcome
Conscience has no place in my heart
I will always fly first class
If I'm sued and exposed I'm not worried
I know Choo Leng will always be there with open arms


Verse 2:
I'll always treasure those happy moments
I can remember all the flights
It doesn't matter I'm cheating
It only matters how secret it is

Repeat Bridge & Chorus

Life in Joo Chiat~

A little abt Joo Chiat's history~

Joo Chiat Road offers one a glimpse of Singapore in the past, with its old buildings and traditional trades. Named after wealthy landowner Chew Joo Chiat, it has an interesting mix of colonial villas, Malay bungalows and shophouses from the early 20th century. Of interest here and on Koon Seng Road are the Peranakan (Straits Chinese) houses, built in the Singapore Eclectic Style that evolved in the 1920s and 1930s. Painstaking restoration works have preserved the rococo stucco facades, eaves, mouldings and elaborate wood carvings that reflect the affluence of Peranakans in the earlier days.

The images shown are some interesting 'happenings' in Joo Chiat which i captured using smurf's sony ericsson k750i.

I am not skinny!

The term 'SKINNY' may sound more pleasing than 'FAT'. I'm sure everyone agrees ya? BUT to me...i HATE the word 'SKINNY'. I repeat, dont call me 'SKINNY'.. because i am not made up of skin and bones k. I do have flesh you know?????

I dont look like this:


Olive Oly

Common remarks i hear from others nearly everyday:

'Eh! eat more leh..you're so SKINNY!'

or

'C'mon..you can afford to put on more fat and you'll look healthier!'

HOLY CRAP! For goodness...quit reminding me k! As if i dont know i am slim, i am not skinny but small framed, i make this clear. A health conscious freak like me never skip meals or take sinful food and most impt of all, i am NOT anorexic. Just because of my height which stretches to a 1.63m + my small built gives others the impression of a bamboo stick. Yeah, my flaw lies here but no one is perfect wat~
I really really hate it when people say i am too skinny you know and its not as if i have tt malnutritioned look rite?

Ok. Ard 60% of spore gals are of a medium to large built and i belong to the minority. Good wat...wats wrong with tt? At least, i wont face the problem of weight gain during my low metabolic rate years, perhaps by then, i would have a perfect figure. wahahahha!

But then..seems like i can be compared to her leh~ (she's around my size too!)
