Interesting Sat

Met up with Richard at Bugis MRT. Jalan jalan at Kinokuniya for a while. Pending whether to buy their photography book. Ended up din buy even though it's already with discount offer. Perhaps, not so crazy abt him le ba? Giving him mental support can le. Let those xmm give them action and momentary support. Muhahaha...So evil of me. LOL!

Walked to a nearby shop at Purvis Street. It's called Miss Clarity Cafe. Observed tat it's quite popular among youngsters. Suitable for family too. Really 大小通吃. Waited arnd 20~30mins before we get our table. Disliked it when ppl keeps hinting tight budget when they are the one treating, tinking i'm those inconsiderate type who will aim to kill type. Mood relly sianz 1/2 when tat happens.

Planning to meet D&D after our makan/their movie at Boat Quay. Took a walk to BQ. Along the way, we stopped at City Hall MRT coz i need to visit the restroom. Infmd me tat he needs to go home as he juz got sms frm his mom after i'm out. Told him it's alrite and okie 4 him 2 go ahead 1st. Actually, he muz hv felt superb bored to give me such excuses.

Walked to PS instead of BQ. Juz nice tat they finished their movie when i reached Cathy. Met at Mac and crapped until 11plus to 12MN. SMS CK abt my dinner treat. Expected no reply.

Stayed at Starbucks after the pair left coz dun feel like going back so early. Went back arnd 1plus......

Bad Customer Service

Customer service in SG is getting from bad to worse. Encountered bad service at 3 or more different places in a row. Will fill you in with the details later.

Anyway, i went to meet Kelvin at Tampines interchange. After lunch, we took train 2 town 2 meet up with the rest. Who knows we are the 1st 2 be there. Waited less den 5mins 4 mr & mrs lee 2 join us. Almost quarrelled with the CSO. Queued up quite a while coz the tkts are with Dave. Hahaha...tis round is his turn 2 be late.

After getting the tixs, we moved over 2 Taka 2 chill out. The guys went massage while Dorin went shopping with me. Stopped at Giordano 2 get some items. So glad tat extra 10% given after the normal discount with Citibank card. Heng tat we checked the bills after prompting from Daryl.

Went back to the store to cross check. Ends up discovering tat the pant wasn't on 50% discount as infmd earlier. Tried to reason with the person in charge Raymond abt the mistake. He claimed tat his staff had charged us less and wanted us to top up. Of course we rejected & asked 4 refund instead. After several rounds of argument, he offered 2 give 30% discount "ON-HIS-OWN-ACCORD" for the pants. Anyway, after the whole drama, we went over to Balcony's Bar, located outside Heeren. Had 2 ask a couple of times for sauces. Sianz!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show Transformer. Brought back some childhood memories. It lasted slightly over 2 hrs. So surprised tat we're unable to find any 24hrs a/c MAC along the whole stretch of Orchard Rd. Finally, we settled at Mr Bean at Selegie.

Side-tracked a bit - some unhappy things happened along the way which is inconvenient 4 me 2 mention any details

SUCKG Day

Life @ work sucks todae. Everything so fxxked up. System keeps on creating numerous problems since tat fateful's load. Fone has been ringing non-stop since I stepped into the office. Also kena flooded by email. Did a emergency load to fix one of the problem temporarily. Hopefully, tis fix DOESN'T give me other problems. By the time i left office, i was totally drained.

Din go 4 the treatment as too drained out le. 4gotten 2 take medication out. Went to Eastpoint. They are having Miss Spore World rehearsal. IMO, our gals where got standard to fight agnst other countries after observing them awhile. Bought a small table dustbin and some moth ball. Oh ya, also purchased some card display holder 2 replace current ones.

Fire Drill

Office held a fire drill exercise. Every1 were praying real hard tat it'll start 2 rain abt 5-10mins b4 the drill so tat it'll be held indoors. Furthermore, it's so near to knock off time. Guess we all din pray hard enuff coz it's so blxxdy hot n sunny. Whole exercise took slightly more than 30mins to complete. all the staff chiong back once we're given OK sign 2 go back.

Hit some production issues right after ytd's load. Chase after the vendor to rectify the problem. Have no choice but to ask station 2 stop using the program. Luckily, they're to load the fixes b4 EOD. Muz rmbr 2 ask 4 the reason why this glitch happens.

Went for my 3rd session straight in a row. Hanim gave us a ride dere. Bought a bottle of chinese medicine(liquid) for $10 after the massage($30). Hopefully, it can cure my leg's issues.

Juz as i expected tat u'll come up wz some reasons to change date. Y cant u juz be truthful abit? Is "face" so impt 2 u?

Round 2

Almost 4got 2 bring my wallet when rushing out. Canteen food/drinks prices had increased/decrease in portion ever since GST upped on 01-JUL-07. Decided to go 4 round 2 treatment even though Reena isn't going and TCM is off. Total cost is $34.

Met someone i know on the bus while on my way back. He seems to be clueless abt wat had happened. Otherwise his acting skills muz be so superb until it surpassed those Golden Horse award winners. Had to walk a long way to find bus 28 after realising tat it doesn't ply along Ubi.

Treatment

Still quite blurred as lack of rest (:| (yet again). Answered some operational issues and had a tele-conference abt an upcoming project.

Disovered 2 interesting webbies. Both are abt cabin crews stories.

SINGAPORE AIRLINES (SIA) CABIN CREW STORIES

Short Airlines Stewardess Stories

Went to get treatment for my stiff shoulder/neck at Circuit Rd. The whole thing which costed me $30, lasted abt 15mins. The transport costed me $4/trip. Prices vary person to person, the kind of treatment for each type. Felt so much better after tat. Each course is abt 5x. May need to do more than 1 course.

:-< Why my hair coloring still runs after each wash since Sat:-?

Lousy Mood

Took the correct bus but missed the intended stop end up alighting at Expo. Dragged myself across the bridge and waited for quite some time b4 bus 24 arrived. Took my breakfast at the canteen. The food sucks as it's frm different stall. My usual stall isn't ready yet. Sianx. Tabao egg sandwich 4 lunch as too troublesome 2 move in/out of tat place.

Wanted to start testing but the applicable programs are not loaded/installed due to license issue(???) On top of that, the layout and data were captured wrongly. Spent the whole morning trying to analyse how the logic/formula works. In between the SIT url also breaks down, user id/pswrd are un-usable.

Went off to find vendor to settle some production issues. At the same time, talked to Jeanette abt our upcoming enhancements. Finally left the place arnd 1830hrs to meet Mike for dinner.

We took a cab to Expo and makan at Malan La Mian shop. I had zha jiang mian with xiao long bao. The shop gave us complimentary dessert: almond paste. He actually waited 4 me to board my bus 1st b4 moving off. So sweet of him to do tat.
