Something's Wrong, Very Wrong

About a week ago, I made a failed attempt to update this near-forsaken blog of mine and the display seemed a little unusual. (ie. like the 2nd pic you see).

I could no longer choose the font type and colour no more. Dammit, what's wrong?!?!
Tell me that is it not unusual? That it's just because I've been way behind the blogging-times hence I lost touch of how to use the "now-new" blogspot.

Okay, that was last week where I gave up trying thinking it'll get better if I logged in another day.

And today (a week after), it's still very much the same. F*ck!

It's infuriating, I'm pounding on my poor keyboard & mouse. "BING BANG BASH"
I'm pissed... real pissed!

WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG??

Look at the first picture (above)...it's a whole string of scripts instead of displaying the printscreen I've downloaded.
And the only way where I was able view a picture was to click on the top right corner of my message, "Preview" FUCK.

HATE THIS PLACE

I Got tiny Boobs?

That wasn't exactly a question... more like a self-analysis, I know me too well.

Bumped into Gilbert at the gym yesterday evening doing his periodic weight-lifting... and after I've completed some 30mins on the tread-mill.. he offered:

"Wanna lift weights?"

"Huh? like how heavy? For what?"

"30kg... goood"

"Good for?"

"Builds my chest, builds yours too...ahem.."

"F**k.. I dun need that.."

Why I hate Mornings

On the train, I met a woman whose sole purpose in life was to make mine miserable with her incessant head-turning-hair-slapping-on-my-face stunt.
If anyone has hair that's long and thick, for goodness sake BUNDLE IT UP or maybe shave it all. 'Cos your hair might not feel or smell as pleasurable when it hits people's faces in the crowded morning train.
And of course, stop turning your head left, right, left, right, left, right... Whatever for? Just stand still lah. Duh``

Andandand, the Hub did what I deem as an "unforgivable" act last night. LMAO.
He set his very own cousin on a date with his car mechanic, Brandon. Okay, not exactly a mechanic 'cos his da boss of FabulousX.
And Brandon insisted I be present so he can talk to me.. Wahahahahaha!! Poor boy.

Okay, I shall dispense with the "set-up-date" joke because the cousin felt awkward enough already.

Anyway, I shall continue working on my tender report for now.

As usual

While waiting my MJ legs to arrive, I might as well blog a little.

Today was helluva busy day. Woke up rather early to do some cleaning around the house. And ended up having my first meal of the day at only 5pm.

The Hub and I decided to give Pizza Hut another chance which they flunked again. After serving us our soup, we waited for a whole 30 minutes for our lagsane and baked rice. To our horror, the waitress explained & apologised that they forgot to key in our orders.. FUCK. How the hell did they remember to serve us soup in the first place since it's a set meal altogether?!?!?! Bloody hopeless idiots.

After which they offered us 6 pieces of drumlets as a compliment to make up for their error. Well, that wasn't very wise of them. But because I love drumlets, I accepted their offer and quickly finished up. And since I was fuming mad, I decided to speak to their manager about their poor service and we ended up walking out of the restaurant with all charges WAIVED!! Wahahahaha!!!

Seriously, I wonder how Pizza Hut survive this far.

Anyway, after that fitful meal I went to Jean Yip hoping to get my hairstyle changed for the nearing Lunar New Year. My stylist advised me against chopping my mane short because he thinks I'll eventually end up with super flat hairstyle with no volume at all.

Very well then, I took his advise and so I decided to stick to my length but at least a re-bonding treatment and a little trimming here and there.
And it turns out that Jean Yip have a routine scalp assessment before they can begin any chemical treatments on my head.
And the result of my scalp assessment wasn't very delightful. As you may have already guessed, I was advised to do a Scalp Detoxification. How bloody cheem does that sound.. detox my scalp...

Okay, things that sounds like this don't come cheap. $400++.. .. .. without the re-bonding.

Fine, in order not to promote hair loss due to the oily scalp, I'll do.

And whoever sees my hair, you better keep your mouth shut.

I Hate Mornings

Was roused from my sleep at the crack of dawn by some rustling sounds in the bedroom.
Nothing out of the ordinary, it must be the hubby as I thought to myself.

Me: "Bi.. Turn on the heater for me hoh...", heard him say "Orh.." and I quickly fell back into slumber.

Was once again jolted awake by my triple-alarm-clock-combo-ring at about 8am.. (okay I know the word, LATE)
I stumbled into the bathroom and began my morning routine, brush teeth, contact lens and into the shower I went.

Piercing cold water poured from the shower and bit onto my skin resulting in an instant freezing from head to toe. And the worst part, the main heater switch is in the kitchen.

Which means, I have to bundle myself in a towel, run out of the bathroom into my air-conditioned room, and pass the corridor into the kitchen, turn on the heater, wait for a good 5 minutes so it'll heat up, and back the same way. All wrapped in a towel?!?!?! It's Morning and it's cold lor!!!!

Great job Jayson Li.

You will be sorry.

I fucking love my job

What exactly is it that you want?

Because of the different ontract period (12 Weeks vs 9 Weeks) the only thing I'm able to do is to adjust the Preliminaries accordingly.

First you ask for me to do a build-up for the Preliminaries rather than using a percentage.
Fine. I did it.

Now you want a percentage of the Preliminaries against the Builder's and M&E works.
Fine. I did it again.

Now I don't know what else you want.
Now, do you realise this is urgent? Do you realise it is MONDAY now?!
Do you realise I have another cost estimate to do for the blardy church and the fcuking tender is calling on the 27th which means there's no block leave for me and there's only ONE JADE trying to please you?!!

First you asked me to check with Daniel, on what was the estimated cost for CapitaLand's standard toilet.
Fine. I checked with him for both Lot 1 Shopper's Mall and JEC accordingly. So, I priced in for the toilets based on the number of sets, just like he did for his estimates.

And now you want me to break them down.
Hello?
I don't know how to do a breakdown especially for CapitaLand's standard form of toilets.
I don't know what Sanitary Wares they're using and nobody knows, yet.
I don't know why Daniel did his pricing in the form sets and you accepted but refused to take in mine.

It's deliberate isn't it?
Thanks for making things so difficult for me. YOU WIN.



And.. with meeting schedules like these.. who will finish my work for me? Huh??

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I FUCKING LOVE IT. My foot.

Time no enough

Meetings meetings meetings... they can last the whole morning / afternoon, and most of the time the entire day.
It is only when I finally return to the office in the evening that I can start to do my work.

This is what I've been going through for the past 2 weeks.
And for the coming months, I think.
So, when you feel that you really have no time to complete your work, you bring it home.


NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD.

Tomorrow is another tedious day
9.30am, meeting with DP Architects till noon probably.
And after lunch at 2pm, meeting Greatearth till evening I suppose.

AND.. It's Friday!!!
cost estimate cost estimate cost estimate..... Just let me die.

sibeh sian

Played 3 rounds of mahjong with the Hub and 2 other friends till 5am, Thursday morning. But it's all worth it because me won $350.00. Loud Laughter!

The cards kept flooding in to a point that I couldn't control but had to do the 5-tai 自摸 combo again and again and again and again and again.. .. ..

And I just realised that my N80 is beginning to die on me.. So my winnings may come into good use after all.
With only 2 hours of sleep and another meeting to attend later in the afternoon, I don't know how long I can hold. Super hungry and stoned now.

On a depressing note, my beloved Director had to choose such a wonderful day to talk to me. Saying things like he very much wanted to pass me a few projects BUT ES strongly suggests that I should concentrate on doing Visioncrest FA.
Conclusion? The projects will only come in next year.

F*** YOU lah!

Have I not been diligent?
Have I screwed up any of my jobs before?
Have I not done my projects to the best of my ability?

And what do I get for all the efforts put in? NOTHING = NAUGHT = ZERO = NON-EXISTENCE.
So now I realise why everyone wanted to get out of Visioncrest and that was the reason they employed me because nobody wanted to do it anymore.
I was here not only to be the "shit-picker" but now the "shit-eater"

VISIONCREST, YOU ARE A FUCKING HINDRANCE TO MY CAREER, MY PROGRESS.

Maybe it's time..
To let go.

"Somebody" ate my gummy

You know how terrible it feels to realise that there is a sneaky-being among your colleagues. Because not only did this person take my stuff without permission, but he/she also consumed what was mine. OMFG.

What pisses me off the most is the person's actions, not just a matter of losing my gummy. Argh!

The gummies were given to me by another friendly colleague. To be honest, I wasn't very keen to try them so I left the duo sitting on my desk for the past few days. Until yesterday that I curiously opened one of them to test my endurance for sour-ness. And I realised it was too sour for me to take so I left the other piece alone.

But that dosen't mean he/she can eat it for me. What if I've left both of them untouched.. would that mean he/she will conveniently take both? OMFG!

And to further aggravate the matter, the culprit discarded the wrapper in my waste-paper basket, as if trying to prove his/her arrogance.

Wah piang eh!

Shopaholic's obsession

You know you are becoming a maniac when,

- you check PaperGirls webby on Friday and there are no updates.
- you check PaperGirls webby on Saturday and there are still no updates.
- you start muttering "tsk.. why take so long" to yourself
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday morning and there are still no updates.
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday afternoon and there are.. no updates.
- you start to feel faint and breathless..
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday night and ... still no.
- you lose sleep...
- you check PaperGirls webby on Monday morning and STILL NO UPDATES..!!
- you feel like lodging a damn feedback to PaperGirls complaining that you have no more clothes to wear and they should update their new arrivals EVERYDAY!!!!

Similarly, Apply the above to Galsstreet..

*panting.. with anger.

That's when you realise that you are getting way out of hand, out of control..

shoplah ostracized

For compulsive online shoppers especially those like Jaslin and maybe me, here's a word of caution further to my previous entry "roarrrr". --> NEVER buy from ShopLah.

I'm not being childish nor being petty, I was just too annoyed by their unworthiness and lousy attitude.
Warning: It's going to be very lengthy..

Using my MSN, Missy Fion gave everything a headstart just because ShopLah still owes her one piece of blouse that was suppose to be delivered one week ago, which means they are extremely delayed.
Read on...

MISSY =Þ says:
Hi there...
MISSY =Þ says:
check w u... when will the black top (that went missing) will arrive??
ShopLah! says:
your name please
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Fion Lim
ShopLah! says:
tmr or mon
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
tmr or monday? meaning, you send it then or I receive it then
ShopLah! says:
you asked when is it arriving
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
thank you. I expect to receive it in my letter box by Monday, 24-09-2007.
ShopLah! says:
then you have to pay for courier
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so it wun arrive on mon??
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
but u mention tmr or mon..
ShopLah! says:
you asked when is it arriving
ShopLah! says:
or you are asking when you are receiving
ShopLah! says:
please be clear
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i am simply not interested in playing ard w words
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i juz wan to noe when i will receive the missing top...
ShopLah! says:
i have already mentioned arriving tmr or mon and we will send out asap
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
ur terms and conditions did mention:
"6.Upon payment, your products will arrive in approximately 7 working days (not inclusive of mailing or home delivery time). Please note that late payment of orders will result in the delay of arrival time. "
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
1st of all..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
there was no late payment..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
2nd... i onli receive my top on the 9th WORKING day...
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
3rd.. clothes was not in order...
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
4th.. clothes was defective...
ShopLah! says:
first we did not state items will be received in approx 7 workng days time
ShopLah! says:
please read properly
ShopLah! says:
seconly we stated items will arrive but not all... may be subjected to delay
ShopLah! says:
we send out those already here first
ShopLah! says:
lastly if there is defect please send it back
ShopLah! says:
we will exchange for you....
ShopLah! says:
you insist on defect and you nv send us back
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so i haf to pay for the postage??
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
this is not my fault that the clothes is defective..
ShopLah! says:
you can come down the address stated and pass the item back
ShopLah! says:
Item tag must NOT be removed in order for any exchange to be done. We allow exchange within 7 days after receiving the item.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
7 days or 7 working day?
ShopLah! says:
Item tag must NOT be removed in order for any exchange to be done. We allow exchange within 7 days after receiving the item.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
okie fine... take it tt i receive on that day (saturday) consider a day itself.. I 'lugi'.. from that day till now.. today is juz happen to b 7th day.... i will go down to the address as stated in your website to exchange with you... since today is the 7th day... i do expect a new piece by today....
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
I mail out today... as long it's today's date is being stamp on the envelope.... u still haf to exchange for mi...
ShopLah! says:
exchange will not be on the spot
ShopLah! says:
please ensure the tag is not removed

And so these ShopLah people went on being intensely rigid and inflexible with their terms and conditions. As you would have already noticed, they kept on repeating themselves despite many questions asked.

Missy Fion soon got too pissed to continue the conversation with them, so Missy Jade took over from here..

MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you are out doing a service. You expect your customers to return any defected items to you within 7 days not 7 working days; whereas you (shoplah) are allowed to deliver your items counting only the working days..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
thus, i can foresee.. if we return the defected item to you by today, you will take ANOTHER several WORKING days to deliver..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
can your customers have any expectations of yuo?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
*you?
ShopLah! says:
items sent overseas to singapore is not like within local address
ShopLah! says:
if you receive your items with any defect
ShopLah! says:
you shld inform and send us back immediately for exchange
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
postage should not be borne by us.. we paid for postage and did not ask to receive anything that is spoilt in any way. In fact, you should check the items before sending them out to your customers. That's what I call due diligence.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and responsibilty
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
say if you did a check prior to mailing the clothes to your customers, this would not have happened.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you would also have saved the trouble of having to send the items back to the supplier..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so, what good does this whole episode give me?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
I am a customer of yours, I trusted your website and so i placed orders, not only for myself but my friends too.. and this has to happen..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
we are not asking for free gains, we PAID. And we are now just asking for what rightfully should be ours.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Tell us, is there anything better than this that you can offer us, at this moment?
ShopLah! says:
i have already said if the item is defective
ShopLah! says:
you can send us the item back
ShopLah! says:
if not you can come down to the addres stated bet ween 9.30pm to 11.00pm.. i will be around
ShopLah! says:
do note that the item tag must not be removed...
ShopLah! says:
if it is removed, we cant do any exchange for you

See how they continue repeating the same replies.. Ya lah I know, cannot remove tag, must return within 7 days.. whatever the f**k

MISSY ™ =Þ says:

Okay, if you say so. I believe today is the last day for exchange. I will make the trip down to return that piece. Will you compensate my transportation and time loss? Even if I have mailed the piece out immediately upon receipt, would you have paid for my postage then? If not, then can I have an immediate exchange by today?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Just because you are making me spend more than what was needed to buy that piece of blouse.
ShopLah! says:
already mentioned
ShopLah! says:
exchange is not on the spot
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Just because you are making me spend more than what was needed to buy that piece of blouse.
ShopLah! says:
you can choose to come down on send us back
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Will you compensate my transportation and time loss?
ShopLah! says:
sory we dont
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
then what else can you do to make things better?
ShopLah! says:
there will be no compensation or whatsoever
ShopLah! says:
there will only be an exchange to a new piece if the item is defective
ShopLah! says:
please send the item back by today... or you can come down and pass us the item
ShopLah! says:
but exchange is not on the spot
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
So are you implying that all that has happened and it's just too bad. And I just have to take it or leave it.
ShopLah! says:
you do not seem to understand what i have wriiten
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
I understand you totally.. you dun understand me
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
because all these, I didn't ask for. And I have to spend more money to get back a proper blouse
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and on top of the blouse's price that i paid, i have to pay for my own cab fare to get to Tampines
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and you are telling me that there's NOTHING you can do about that
ShopLah! says:
we did not ask you to take a cab
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so I take a bus <-- I thought maybe it'll be fun to annoy them back..
ShopLah! says:
if you are asking for any compensation
ShopLah! says:
then we are sorry there isnt any
ShopLah! says:
we only exchange
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i need to spend money to take buses too...
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i am not asking for any monetary compensation from you,.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
BUT i want an immediate exchange by today, not necessarily the same top
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
whatever you may have at the same price
ShopLah! says:
sorry nope
ShopLah! says:
you took a long time to send the item back
ShopLah! says:
it not our fault as well
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
because even if i posted it back, i need money to purchase a stamp.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you wouldn't pay for my postage too, would you?
ShopLah! says:
well if it is defective we do not mind pay your postage <--- they gave up. Haha!
ShopLah! says:
it doesnt cost much at all
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
oh.. finally.. .. thought you would stand by your "there will be no compensation or whatsoever".."do note that the item tag must not be removed..." blah blah blah.. anyway the blouse came missing a button thus i cannot wear it. So it's a defect.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so you are willing to compensate my postage costs..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Great!
ShopLah! says:
please ensure the tag is intact thank you
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
but now, i dun think i want to exchange anymore. That piece is not worth much anyway. See you in STOMP!

See what i mean, one button missing. And though I asked for a small size, the sleeve opening of this blouse is helluva humongous. Look at how it fits these skinny models flawlessly... http://www.shoplah.com/Tops/K988.htm.
Right and the saying goes, "never believe just what you see online and purchase at your own risk". I know all that and that's why I'm not going to exchange it because I'm not going to wear it at all.

Hahaha.. and I know Fion and Jaslin can't wait to read this. Anyway, I've already posted our story on STOMP.. It may just be published soon..

Roarrrrr

Please avoid making any online purchases from ShopLah even if you are flooded with desire to buy that particular piece of whatever that model is dressed in. I think shopping at This Fashion would be a better experience, at least your purchase is in order, which would definitely be more satisfying than to receive a defective blouse that is ridiculously over-sized.

Fion and I placed our first (and last) order with the above mentioned. Emails were sent to confirm our orders so we paid and waited for like 10 working days but when the clothes finally arrived, one of the pieces was defective and another piece missing -- which to us, passionate online shoppers felt like total suckers.

So, anyway.
We (being ShopLah & us) managed to communicate via MSN plainly because my nick "MISSY 玉™ ShopLah SUCKS =Þ" caught their attention. Of course, they will try to do a replacement and in order for them to do that I'll have to post that blouse back to them. Another $2.50 to be wasted on postage at no fault of mine, tamade.

And Fion has to jolly well wait another week for her piece to arrive. Oh God … it's just so disappointing.
