Shopping Spree

It's the exam period again and as usual, I fall ill. Horribly ill. This time it was a one week bout of fever that never dropped below 38 degrees UNTIL I took antibiotics. That said, I had alot of time in bed to myself. Naturally, I went surfing.

Surf surf surf.

Guess what. I decided to buy the missus new shoes. The last time I got her nice new branded shoes were like... in 2006. Long overdue for new shoes she is, considering even her local Charles and Keith was drenched by the HDB floor washing ah neh and the heel was also 'torn' to reveal that the wooden heel was in fact, a sticker and that the heel was in fact, plastic. Shame on you Charles and Keith.

So I went online and checked out good deals. It was a actually okay, because I picked out 5 pairs relatively fast. But then the chore came in asking her to vet. When I asked her to vet 'was this okay', it turned out to be a 'let me choose' thingy. And of my initial 5 pairs that I chose, I think only 1 pair made it. Oh wait. 2 pairs made it.

But that took me 3 days.

After that, I was hit buy a DVD buying spree. And ended up with... Smallville seasons 4, 5, Eureka season 1, Dresdan Files season 1, 300 and a host of other shit for a cool price.

That took me 2 days.

Finally, I made my last purchase today (the last day of my illness) and it was the Halo 3 Legendary Edition complete with Spartan helmet. Thanks to Jack whom is sharing the set with me, I get to keep my Master Chief helmet for 2/3 the price of the set. Is that cool or what.

I think due to this bout of fever, I've spent $500 plus. But advanced 0% in my paper on friday.

Whoopie.

HALO 3

Halo 3 has hit the stands and I've got some items on my wishlist as well. For starters, an Xbox360 with a legendary edition of the game complete with a Master Chief helmet. Follow that on by a Heroclix SDCC Scarabm, an artfx Kotobukiya Master Chief statue and top it off with 2x Mcfarlane exclusive controllers and we're all set!


Retails for $400USD




Retails for $250USD and is the size of a baby stroller


Retails for $150USD


Retails for $100USD


Retails for $60USD each, $120USD for both and comes with McFarlane toys...

Of course this isn't a hint for friends to get these items for me. I just want to win them or something or buy them from my overseas contacts for cheaper. Really. Too expensive to waste money on one. Not that anyone will actually spend such obscene amounts of money on me in the first place of course...

More never released stuff for myself



All mine! Mine!

Saturday, April 28, 2007

Wow. Simply amazing speed after 8hrs.

After 8 hrs of downloading at 5kB/s, my connection suddenly shot up to 160kB/s. Which is unheard of here in PGP. Which means something that I was prepared to download for 24hrs will be done in just 30mins. So freakin happy.



I finally get my Heroes fix.

BTW, I thought it was really funny when one uTube user commented this regarding Suresh's 'alliance' with Skylar in regards to the commercial/trailer for the previous few episodes. He actually said "omg why did you team up with skylar and reject peter? YOU INDIAN PROFESSOR YOU!" which was kinda funny (to me) and when I repeated it to xy she couldn't stop laughing.

She also can't stop laughing when I say 'UM-MEHH'. And I'm not using that silly GeGao name anymore coz she says that's what she's calling me so it's exclusive. Wahaha.

GeGao Master want to laugh

because this woman:



thinks that this woman:



is not photogenic.

I rest my case.

GeGao Master dunno why people like to pay more for

boxsets like these.



I think after every new Harry Potter release they actually release a new boxset compiling the last 2, 3, 4, 5 and now 6 books. Since 7 is coming out, shouldn't they just wait for the 1-7 new boxset release rather than still buy this dua-leng-kong thing and subsequently replace it again with the 1-7 release? I know some people that would if they had picked this up. For me, I've gotten all the 1st Editions (US print) and don't fancy paying more for a cardboard box wraparound. I don't mind paying more for the signed limited editions though and am currently missing book 2 and 6 I think. Book 4 like no such special release. Or maybe it's ultra rare. As the exam date draws nearer, I seem to be wasting time blogging more. Such is the curse of the blog.

On a different note, can someone please tell me how Azureus works? My blue frog jumps up and down when I click him but he's not helping me download anything at all. No other screen comes up. WTF?? How to get to watch my Heroes 19? Especially after YouTube took them down. Fuck.

GeGao Master wants to HAOLIAN

about his latest purchase. This amazing figure wasn't even announced yet as any secret figure for the upcoming San Diego Comic Convention 2007 and I've got him already. This is how some networking with our native roots pays off.

Feast your eyes true believers on the FIRST Marvel Legends STAN LEE action figure (which doubles as Peter Parker!)







You can interchange to make him Peter Parker~ how fucking cool is that.



And since it's never been announced or released to the public, that makes this blog the FIRST place you're looking at this baby in all its glory. History in the making I'd say.

GeGao Master wants to EXTERMINATE

with his new remote controlled 12" Dalek. Please don't think dirty thoughts although you're not very far off if you're guessing anything. My new Dalek is:



Awesome 12" tall Dalek based on the new series made by Charactor Options. Authentic Dalek Movement, Flashing Lights and Speech, Combat Mode Poseable Gun Platform, Automated Head and Eye Movement, Poseable Gun and Arm, plus Illuminated Eye! Runs on one 9V (not supplied) and 4 AA batteries.

He's from Doctor Who if you aren't savy with the term 'Dalek' and retails for a hefty 39.95GBP. ($120SGD) EXCLUDING SHIPPING. But I can get him cheaper at $100 (including shipping) if I buy more. So I'm buying more. So any of you that is lacking a 12" Dalek can pick an extra one up from me to make up for your lack of manliness because we all know that the Dalek is only the coolest killing machine in the whole galaxy. Having him will up your manliness by.... I dunno ... 5%? If you're you-know-hu you'll need 20 of these to even pass off as a human being though.

To learn more about the Time Wars and Doctor Who, do check out BBC's new series (currently in it's 2nd season) especially the Daleks episode. It's a killer. (Or you can just wikipedia it)

PS: It does not come with a vibrating function.

GeGao Master is Sick of hearing this:

UM--MEHH??

I get this from my indian neighbour's friends whenever they come over to find him. I don't understand. He's a nice guy and doesn't interfere with my business other than leaving his unwashed pots in the sink and causing them to be maggot-fied over time. But why do his friends have to be so boorish and loud and uncouth?

Unless that's a traditional greeting, I dunno why they have to scream it out so loud every time they come find him cause it's really not nice to be disturbed by a super loud UM--MEHH when one is mugging.

Not being racist here okay.

GeGao Master writes back!

Dick wanted a formal confirmation via email or he wouldn't process my transfer date request. So I give him confirmation plus feedback:

feedback@cdc.com.sg

Dear Mr Dick,

I apologize if this confirmation email came late as I am swamped with my research papers due this week and I just turned in at 6am in the morning so I didn't get your 9am sms until now.

Confirmation:
I'm confirming that my land tour departure date is 15th May 2007 at the price of $578 each with no additional charges for the transfer as agreed via our teleconversation on sat. My total bill will then be $(578 x 2) 1156. I don't know whether that includes the $3 NATAS fair reimbursement. I understand that CDC will contact me 2 weeks prior to departure (approx 1st - 2nd May, i'll call CDC on 3rd May because I'm having exams on 2nd and may not be able to pick up the phone) and notify me whether there are sufficient people to move on that date. Should there be no tour, I will be refunded the money in full after 2-4 weeks or 3-4 weeks. I'm ok with either.

---

Feedback:
Perhaps I can clarify my predicament better through email as I feel that your good side may not have understood me. I am not an unreasonable customer. Perhaps some background information might help.

I booked the initial tour to depart on the 15th at the NATAS fair with the purpose of extending my stay for a few more nights. However, I could not confirm the number of nights there and then at the NATAS fair. I then made a trip down to a CDC branch and spoke with Viktor whom made it clear that if I were to extend, there is still no guarantee that it would be approved and I would only know 2 weeks prior to departure. Hence there is a possibility that I may not be able to extend, something which I wanted in the first place. Hence, we opted to downgrade to a land tour and because it was done within 3 days of my booking at the NATAS fair (I think it was the 2nd day), there was no fee incurred for the change. He also told me it was possible largely because our tour was not confirmed yet as well. Seeing that we had no constrain in date, I asked if there was an earlier date as we don't mind leaving earlier and he suggested the 14th. After checking the price to be $578 with him, we agreed to change it to the 14th. He told me to call Dick to confirm the next day. I left CDC glad that the staff were helpful and attentive.

When Dick contacted me, he confirmed with me of the change of downgrade and change of date of departure from the 15th to the 14th. I verified that this was so. I then asked him if there was a change in the land tour price. I was told by Ms Neo (the other person taking the land tour with me) that she was also told the same, that land tour no change in price, only air ticket will change. I then asked whether I should go down to sign anything or verify everything at the CDC office as I wanted to make sure everything was fine and there were no problems as I would be very busy after that with my research papers due and my exams coming as well. He said that there was no need and that CDC would send the invoice/itinerary direct to my house. I left it as that and didn't think much of it.

A few days later, I got the invoice/itinerary from CDC in the mail and I was puzzled over the $100 increase in the total bill. My initial reaction to be frank was that 'don't tell me because I didn't go down to verify the numbers with them, they anyhow add $50 per person'? Since it was in the evening, I could only call to ask why there was an 'increase' the next day.

When I called Dick to enquire about the increase in price, he explained to me that my date of departure on the 14th was for the 4*5* band of hotels and not the 3*4* band of hotels which I signed up for in the $578 package. I then told him that my price was $578 as confirmed by Viktor and said I didn't agree with the price of $628. He then checked with his computer system and then said that he had told me the price the day I had my teleconversation with him and hence he updated it into his system, so there was no qualms about his notification to me of the price. I reiterated that what he told me that day was that there was 'no change' in land tour price and I identified that there was a possible miscommunication as he may have been thinking of 'no change' in the $628 price whilst I was thinking of 'no change' in the $578 price and we both did not verbally confirm the numbers with each other. I then told him to please change me to a package with the $578 price. As he said that he had verified the information and price with me before changing my itinerary, any subsequent changes which I propose to make will incurr a $75 fee per pax and $150 fee total for both me and Ms Neo. As this $150 is more than the $100 difference, he advised me to keep the current itinerary. I made my point in that I did not wish to have 'changes' if not for the fact that the price was 'changed'. If he claimed that he had given me the price and I had agreed to it in our first teleconversation, why would I call him up and query him on the extra charges now? By the fact that I called him up, shows that I did not agree to this price of $628 and as I had no prior knowledge of the difference in hotel room standards, I totally have no benefit in claiming why there is a change in price as in my mind, the land tour packages were all the same at $578 (as confirmed by Viktor) and I was 'overcharged' at $628. Dick told me his perspective that it was basically my word against his and he would bring the matter up to his manager and request for the change of date to a $578 package. He then repeated that his system cannot be wrong and he would get back to me. (Do note that I had identified the possible miscommunication during the teleconversation and not him.)


I do understand that the NATAS period was very busy for everyone at CDC. Hence I was prepared to overlook any possible errors/problems that might have occured and spend precious time clarifying them despite my deadlines and exams.

The day after good friday I called him up to check on the status. He acknowledged that Viktor may have given the wrong price to me but said that the company had decided that 'any further changes are subject to the fee of $75 per pax'. I wasn't very convinced because any company when faced with the facts of a present miscommunication as above would actually be moreso inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the customer and allow the change. Furthermore, it would come down to either a waiver of the $150 fee or the $100 difference and it would not make economical sense to waiver the $100 difference as the changing fee is imposed by the company (paper value) whilst the $100 difference goes towards the actual cost of the higher hotel room rates. I then asked him what he told the manager and he said as a matter of factly that he told the manager about my situation, but it is company policy that they allow customers to change once (which I did, from package to land tour), but any other subsequent changes will be subjected to a fee of $75 per pax. I then asked what exactly did he tell the manager? Whether he told the manager that I wouldn't have wanted a change if not for the miscommunication prior? He told me that he told the manager of my situation, and he told the manager that he had confirmed the price with me before keying it into his computer system, hence his manager said there was a fee to be imposed.

Instead of acknowledging that there might have a genuine miscommunication and telling the manager about it, he actually repeated what he had been telling me all the time: there can be no error on his part and he had verified everything with me before changing my itinerary. This obviously makes me out to be a very unreasonable customer in the eyes of the manager. How can this customer agree to changes and price, then come back and want to change this change that and expect us to waiver the fee whilst giving us more trouble trying to accomodate all the changes? I expect one to be defensive when told that there was a very likely possibility that he forgot to do something (in this case confirm the numbers), but not defensive to the extent in not bringing up the possible case of miscommunication to the manager and instead insisted again that there was no error on his part. This left me feeling that CDC staff weren't that helpful after all.

There is simply no incentive for me to keep changing the dates as immediately after my confirmation of land tour date for the 14th, I had booked my air tickets via Jetstarasia. I don't mind changing to another date as I made it clear that I want the $578 tour. I'm not so free as to worry about my travel plans when I have my papers due and my exams coming. On hindsight, I should have insisted going down to the office to verify everything on the first day.

It's very simple, I just want my price of $578 within my travel period of 13 - 23 May.

After explaining everything to him over the phone again, he agreed to waiver the fee on the account that I submit to him an email as above, stating that I want to change the back to the 15th (initially he told me it couldn't be done as I had changed from the 15th to 14th. i then told him i changed to the 14th because i was given the option but i am flexible on it as my tickets were from 13th May to 23rd May) and that if I required any more changes, I would be subjected to a fee. If the tour fails to move, i would be fully refunded at a later date. I don't mind agreeing to those so as long as both parties are clear on that.

I am sorry that the company had to make the various changes especially in the company's p.o.v., the difference is only $50 per pax ($100 total). The reason why I don't want the $628 tour so much despite it being 'more comfortable' is not just because I didn't sign up for it (the principle), but because the additional $100 goes towards 3 nights of my budget hotel stay (the practical). So do understand that $50 per pax may not be alot for the company and they may wonder why we do not wish to spend $50 more for better accomodation, but from our point of view, a hotel is just to spend the night, so it's not that important to us.

I don't require an apology and certainly don't expect to get one from my unpleasant experience with CDC. However, next time to other customers, do make it a point to verify the prices and details. You can say that you did, but the fact is if you did, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble now and spend so much time worrying over this whilst I have my deadlines and exams looming. I will however tell my friends and family etc. about my problem with the company and will probably never book another tour with CDC again after this although I do still hope that the 15th tour (if it moves) will not be affected by this incident nor this feedback.

Regards,
GeGao Master

GeGao Master wants to clarify that he's actually not so GeGao

Actually I'm not that GeGao.

I think if you ask people that I regard (or they regard me) as a friend, I don't GeGao with them. I don't GeGao with them even over money.

Like Jackson owe me $2.43 I also don't go and remember one.

Or Melanie never return me the taxi change from last year of $0.52.

I nevermind one.

Xy pangsai then the toilet bowl stuck, I plunger it and shit water fly onto me also I can tahan.

No GeGao.

So you see, I'm not that GeGao right?

GeGao Master gets reply from CDC

Guess what. The dick from CDC didn't call me. I had to call him to enquire on my tour package. What he told me was, if I had to change the date away from the 14th to any other date, a $75 fee will be incurred. I asked him what he told the manager. He told me (I couldn't believe my ears) that he told the manager I wanted to change date, his colleague may have told me the wrong date, BUT he had told me the price and I had agreed before he input into his computer. I was like. WTF. How fucking stupid are you? Dick was the problem all along for NOT confirming the price with me before booking and yet HE tells the manager that? Of course manager won't let me change la. Bloody cock. I basically told him. Sorry, no. You should have told the manager that you didn't tell me the price, which is why I'm contesting the price now. I don't mind the date. Infact, I changed the date to the 14th because it was recommended to me at the same price. Use your brain dick. After some time, he relented and insisted I type him an email confirmation and allowed me to change to the 15th. Great. I'm gonna CC it to feedback unit. You just wait.

I don't understand how cock he can be. It's just so clear la. If you never cock up, I won't call and ask u why u cock up. Instead of trying to help me coz it's your mistake, you tell me I agreed to it. The fact is if i agree, i won't even call u up to disagree. No logic ley. I'm flexible on the date which shows i'm just concerned about the money aspect of it. what part of your feeble brain can't comprehend that you made a mistake? i've forgiven u for the mistake and i just need to get my preferred date. is that so hard?

CDC holy days should still be a decent place to book your tours. But lookout for this dick character. i'm willing to go so far to allow him some leeway for mistake as i'm sure NATAS fair they were all very busy. But trying to push the mistak onto me and make me bear the costs for your mistakes just so you can look good in front of your manager is really pushing it too far.

If the tour guide is gonna give us a problem on the actual trip itself because of dick 'warning' him of 2 gegao people (in actual fact we weren't very ge gao lor. we just want accountability) they can forget about the trip. and instead find a nice letter in the ST.

GeGao Master has spoken.

GeGao Master GeGao with Rotterdam Cock

There's an idiot in Rotterdam that's pissing me off and ang knows about him. In his act of desperado after xy blocked him off msn, he resorted to huhuhu's tactics and added her using 'a fren's msn and ask her how come he never see her for the past 3 days online. Eh. You msn my gf with this msg "reaches his hand and strokes xy's thigh'" you THINK i will still let you remain in her contact list arh? Once you come back Changi Airport brudder, I will ask the Indian MaTa to reach his hand up YOUR thigh see if you like or not.

Ang, please introduce a virus into his computer can? He's starting to piss me off with his Energizer attitude. The fact is that he already HAS a gf but he's such a horny bastard that he wants to keep ALL options opened. So whoever reads my blog and got dirty underwear 5 years never wash one, please hor, go rub them on his face. Make his fucking face rot. Cheebye.

This is not GeGao.

This is not jealousy.

I've got nothing to be jealous of other than perhaps how come my skin not as thick as yours.

You fucking cheebye.

Isn't the stupid woman just SOOOOOOOOO stupid? Reminds us of someone sia. Including Jeffery. 'you all shut up! i'm correct, you're wrong! i'm louder! doesn't matter that i'm gay! i'm correct! shut up!' Just so bloody oblivious to everything one.

She's more GeGao Master than me la.

GeGao Master Strikes at HuHuHu

Because huhuhu censors my post on his blog, i'm going to reply to him here.

"And yes, she keeps insisting that I added her on MSN Messenger again using another account. Hey… I’m not so free ok! You can see all her mindless accusations of me as a skirt chaser. It just makes people SICK reading all these remarks. I have my circle of guy friends too. Honestly, I don’t like criticizing others or blow my temper. I always believe in resolving disputes peacefully. But there will always be some people that will force you to show your hand.

But as I said, if she is willing to apologize, I’ll let bygones be bygones. And I hope that her boyfriend will stop being as crazy as her. I’m not angry with her actually, just flabbergasted."

Very short and simple replies here. If huhuhu is not Johnson Tan, the 'guy' that added xy to his msn again after being blocked, he wouldn't know about the skirt chaser nick she has on msn because (i) huhuhu is blocked and (ii) Johnson Tan is not.

And yeah, if he keeps on putting mindless accusations on his blog, don't worry. it'll all blow up in his face too. We're not crazy Mr Koh, you are. You're a sick individual, get some help. You're unpopular because you made yourself unpopular. Stop blaming others for it. You Bush you.

Do checkout my nick and visit his blog. He's no intentional skirtchaser. He just habitually does it. See for yourselves if he has the qualifications though. I shan't say more.

GeGao Master has spoken.

The GeGao Master Strikes Back

Finally I updated my blog... with new skins and new posts in anticipation for the upcoming Spiderman 3!! (duh) I must say the trailers are to die for. Especially the recent newer ones focusing more on Venom. I swear I am so going to orgas in the cinema on May 2nd. (Sigh, May 2nd because got paper on May 2nd so cannot go on May 1st... Dammit!)

On a less stickier note, the ge gao master strikes back! Today, he shall complain about more ge gao things. Actually not so ge gao but more of I sway kenna this kind of stoopid people in stoopid situations. That concern money la of course.

GeGao situation #1 Alibaba.com

I helpch xy order clothes from this online shop called alibaba (name changed for obvious ge gao reasons), she ordered 33-40 pieces of clothings (it's a spree!) and then hor, we painstakingly confirmed with them which clothes were instock before transferring the money to them (they are in korea!), then hor, we decided to wait 1 week coz 1 red dress we bought for lindy hadn't come yet. (yes people, april bday ppl are going to get dresses from me) so hor so hor, the day before we send the money hor, we confirm online like 35 pieces in stock (including added orders) so next day we send the money. then hor, we wait 1 week. eh. how come they havent notified us of items being shipped? or confirm with us anything before shipping? nevermind. i think near end of 1 week we finally got the seller on msn (one of the only staff in the company that can speak engrish) and asked her. she say shipped already. like 2 days ago. so should come soon. but some stuff out of stock, so refund us some money. we also lan lan. in the end shipped 30 pcs. or so she say. when goods finally came, not 30 pcs lor. 29 pcs! waaa i so gegao. i was like waaaaaa. u all dare to cheat our money arh. so we of coz try to contact her again la. wa. msn her for 4hrs only reply one sentence one. damn jialat. near to 1 week after receiving the goods, we still dun have refund nor hear about how they were going to settle the missing pc. first make sum excuse abt paypal, say no money inside to refund. then after that tell me that for my missing pc, i have to pay $20 sgd more shipping just to ship 1 pc. i was pissed la. like your company fked up the order still wan me to pay money. and i bombard her with 3 qns only she also take forever to reply. until i fed up, msn the lao da in the company. using my negotiating skills honed over the years (wahahhaha.. thick skin anyhow say one... dunch vomit blood prease), i told her it's unreasonable for the company to make me pay for their mistake basically and i do want my refunds back since it's been over a week plus since i received the goods. so finally after much hoohah of which time was supposed to be spent on my research papers, i finally got the refund today. weird thing is, she got someone from singapore to paypal me the refund. i have to take it out of paypal soon in case she revokes the transaction. once i take it out, paypal cannot revoke it coz then it'll be monies had and received! hurhurhur. dunch play play. At least that one is settled. For now. if they reverse transaction then i gonna gegao again!!!

GeGao situation #2 Hu? Hu? Hu? Hu?

You think i'm gonna blog about huhuhu arh? whahaha. no lor. he is how insignificant can? don't wanna waste my time blogging about him. coz i dun gegao him. he thinks everyone is plotting against him budden he dun understand that nobody is doing anything becoz WE CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH HIM. so cock rite. nobody wants anything to do with him and yet he thinks otherwise. anything he gets in the future he rightly deserves sia. i think i heard some girls sent emails to MOE with links to his blog and details of his terrorizing acts in bid to save their children from suffering the same fate. PS: he wants to teach JC girls. not pri or sec sch but JC girls. Save your children! but that's hearsay la, and for all you know may just be contemplation by the girls or totally made up (READ: other girls, not xy, she or me don't have so much time to write letter to MOE, simply because u haven't pissed us off enough yet to do so - unlike the GeGao situation below). but seriously, i find it laughable that he is attempting to extract an apology from xy. it's like your reputation damaged? since when u got reputation? anything u damage is yourself your own actions damage one lor. don't blame other people coz u're screwed up right? oh well. i say not blogging about him yet i write so much. muahahhaha. Okay, start clean slate:

GeGao situation #2.0.1 Communicable Disease Centre Holy Days

timeline: book tour - went down to change tour details/option to extend/change to land tour - first call received regarding confirmation change of date - call by me regarding costs - call to xy saying no extra costs - received inflated invoice - new call by me ge gaoing increase in price.

This is bigger than huhuhu. and involves approximately the same amount of money as the previous one. me and xy despite my hectic research paper schedule went down to NATAS fair recently and even though i was researching a paper and wanted to go back early to skool on sunday, i went down to book our trip from CDC tours on sunday evening. damn alot of ppl. but we got our package at $823. the tour package wasn't THAT attractive if you consider the fact that first day is wasted as we reach late and last day is wasted as we leave at 7 in the morning. so we told the person, we want to extend. just dunno the number of days yet. she say no prob, within 3 days go to any branch can extend. so we went to a branch to extend and was told by viktor at the branch that can extend, but they will only contact us 14 days before departure and not guaranteed. so we're like wtf. no guarantee how we book hotel and make arrangements and what not. coz we CONFIRM want to extend, so if in the end CANNOT extend then no point rite? so we opted to downgrade our tour package to land tour only $578 departs on 15th May. they say due to our special circumstances (we came within 3 days, and our tour not filled yet) they should be able to waiver the changing fee of $75 per pax. so we asked if there were earlier departure dates. they say got 14th. i specifically asked the person (viktoR!) to double check the price for me and it was $578 as well. so i say okay. we change to that date. 14th. somewhat the next day or so, the actual person in charge of our tour, Dick, called and confirmed my change of date. i said yeah, 14th, land tour only. i specifically asked if there was a change in price, he said no. so i took it no change. xy also picked up his call and specifically asked if the price was different from the one quoted at natas fairand he also said no, land tour where got change in price one. imagine my surprise when i got the bill from CDC and it was $100 more. immediately i flipped la. my first impression was, KNN. tell me no change in price, no fee for changing dates and downgrade, then u sneaky sneaky try to be funny? i got pissed la, and so i called him up today and asked wtf was going on. imagine my surprise when he said 'i told you got difference in price before i confirm with you, my computer say so' i was like cock la. computer u type one, im implying u screw up u tell me u didn't coz ur computer say so. that's how dumb a reason can? furthermore, if i agreed on ur price, i won't be calling u now to kaopek rite? nabei. as thick as huhuhu sia. it's just so simple that he can't see it. he insisted that he was right. (whatever happened to customer was always right?) i told him to consider this:

1) my point again, if he told me the price, i won't be contesting it now

2) when i called him and b4 he tell me the price increase was due to hotel * difference, i was under the assumption that it was the same * hotel. so my intention was never to skive on the price but rather to find out why there was a price increase and tell him that i didn't agree to it.

3) i had confirmed with viktor that is was $578

what he told me which infuriated me was:

1) customer within 3 days make 1 change foc. after that $75 fee applies.

2) he cannot be wrong. must be i wrong. coz he cannot have typed in he told me the price when he didn't. computer system never wrong.

3) basically it was my word against his, and he repeated that he MUST have told me the price change

so i said:

1) well, there was prob a miscom in that i asked him land tour the same price? he say no change. xy asked him land tour the same price? he say land tour same price, standard, no change, only air ticket change. to him, it was the more ex price all along coz of the hotel, but still no change. but to me, i didn't know that. i asked if there was a change with my 578 price in mind so logically the miscom could have arisen there. note that HE didn't suggest this but rather ME that did.

2) i don't buy the $75 fee because the fact is he screwed up, or i wouldn't have called in the first place. so don't come telling me fee applies for changes because i wouldn't make that change if not for YOUR mistake dick.

3) he could have honestly made the mistake in updating into the com based on the miscom scenario above, and i forgive him. so pls help me out.

of course he went on the defensive:

1) he defended that he would never update or change the package without the client consent and after telling client terms and all.

2) he stupidly repeated then that any changes i wanna make are subjected to $75 fee per pax, and told me to just keep my current package because i would pay $150 to make changes when my total is just a $100 difference.

Of course i also not happy la. not because he stubborn. i mean DUH. wtf i call u to kaopek for if i agreed to ur terms rite? now i got impression CDC like to anyhow cut ppl thanks to idiots like him.

1) i said take into consideration my circumstances, there is no point in me contesting this if he had done his job.

2) hence i will not want to pay the change in fee if any and i requested that he do something about it.

He obviously found no point in talking to me because i am not an auntie or uncle that he can just dismiss. so he put me off the phone with:

1) he will ask management to waiver the $75 change

2) he can TRY to change to 15 or 17 which are the 578 price

3) failing which i HAVE to take the more expensive price

Damn CB rite? want to take my money still give me attitude. I say

1) try to waiver the $75 fee per person (total 150)

2) or simplier, waiver the $100 fee coz its your fault in the first place

3) change the tour date

I seriously don't want to tour with them anymore because of this cock up. i mean think about it la. to ur company $100 u also ge gao. ur fault already just bloody well suck it up and be professional. $100 to me = 3 days of budget hotel stay. so obviously i ge gao rite. i hope he changes the tour date to 17th and failing to get a full tour, cancel it. i'd rather get all my money back please. dont want to let them earn a single cent.

He just doesn't understand the idea that if i agreed to his terms and conditions, i wouldn't have called to ge gao. just like huhuhu. if there's nothing wrong, people won't say. there's simply no incentive to make things up. think we very free is it? got exams coming ley. cock. mostly likely he'll go bluff his management that

He hasn't called back yet. he scoffed even when i said ask management to waiver the $100 difference. but it's practical mah. waiver $150 or $100. from my perspective that's how we solve problems. like if my buyer buys a toy w/o a gun, i'd have to open a new one just to send him the gun. i'm supposed to solve the problem. if i buy ur tour package and there's a problem, u jolly well try to solve my problem instead of telling me "it's your problem".

my impression from viktor was that CDC was an efficient company that valued their customers and were willing to help them solve their problems. my impression from dick is that CDC is a company that shortchanges their customers and hides costs from unsuspecting customers. i am not an auntie. i check my bills thankyewverymuch. summore i recall specifically when i asked him to return my call about costs of the package, he didn't actually say the amount... very dubious.

I'll wait a day or two for his reply. if no reply, it'll start with a letter to CDC. then a latter to straits times.

So scary.

On a lighter note, Mr Bean's Holiday is also scary. Don't waste money to see it. I can do all the facial jokes for you. For $5. Cheaper than if you go cinema. Because 99% of the show is basically him doing funny faces.

Cheapo nana they all.

Guys guys guys

It's always the same with some guys. They like to message girls with 'over-friendly' stuff like: miss you, hugz, hey babe, baby, dear etc. To any idiot layman, this signals a clear intention of 'bu huai hao yi' no matter how much he protests and denys it. True, he might say, well... that's my character to say such stuff. But think about it, is it really necessary? Would not a simple how'ja doing or hello do? If you're saying no, it doesn't transacend the emotion or feeling you wish to impart onto the girl, then volia, you're probably thinking further than just a simple hi.

With the proliferation of sms, such people get away with these and build up a reputation for being 'like that'. Firstly, is there such a reputation such as being 'like that'? If that's so, then please be 'like that' to me too when you message me to ask my gf out. Try something along the lines of 'hi handsome, oh you gorgeous thing, please be a dear and let me call your gf out for tea ok? No strings attached, don't worry' Yah right. I'm not blind, I'm not stupid. If I believe a word they say I don't need to study already, can go sell toys for a living.

Mr Koh once said on his blog that he hates bfs whom are too possessive over their gfs and don't allow them to go out with other guys (or him in general). It's not so much of letting one's gf going out with other guys. But rather going out with that guy that's smothering your gf with words behind your back obviously nobody will let her go right? And the worst thing is if the girl thinks he's just 'like that', it's harmless and it's also sweet. HA. You've fallen into his trap. Next the girl will be fighting for her rights to see her 'friend' that's been nice to her (out of the blue I might add) and then there'll be the whole debate of Mr Koh's most hated people.

I say these randoms should be shot. Twice. Hanged and flogged. I don't mind past friends saying hi and wanting to catch up. But you start giving crap messages like those illustrated above, sorry, ESAD please.

I. Don't. Like.

Looking into the future...





Hurhurhur

I'm dining at the gates of hell for my birthday!

Wheeee.. this should be fun. Hope the food is good tmr night. If not, I can throw the chef into hell! wahahha.. which is just around the corner...

Restaurant: Made in China



THERE aren't many places in the world where you can walk past the Ten Courts of Hell en route to a fine Chinese restaurant, so if you can do so at one of Singapore's more under-rated attractions, the wondrous (and some say wacky) Haw Par Villa, it's quite appetite-inducing.

I'm talking about walking up the gentle slope of course, and not through the actual Ten Courts with its depictions of gruesome punishments - remember the pool of filthy blood in the second court of hell; or the chopping board where you see heads and arms hacked off in the ninth court?

Those with delicate uh, stomachs, need not worry since you don't pass through the actual mouth of the dragon to get to Hua Song - a new $7.8 million museum dedicated to the Chinese diaspora. Made in China is the restaurant inside the first hall of the museum, which is part of the theme park.

Helmed by master chef Anthony Khuah, formerly of Tung Lok Restaurant and Summer Pavilion of Ritz Carlton Hotel, the cuisine is contemporary Chinese that's Cantonese-based, while also incorporating traditional dishes from the other dialect groups - Hakka, Teochew, Hokkien, and Sichuan. There's Chicken in Millet Wine under the Hakka category, then Teochew cold crab and stewed goose, along with braised Hokkien Fo Tiao Xiang and Sichuan mapo doufu.

The dining hall is actually located at the main hall when you enter Hua Song, but Singapore Explorer, the company which manages the museum, will also allow corporate functions to be held at eight of the exhibition halls. If you drop by for lunch or dinner, however, you don't need to pay the entry fee to the museum, which is $8 per adult and $5 per child.

The menu includes the ubiquitous dim sum of course, while a sampling revealed dishes done with finesse. The Tan Jia style braised shark's fin with fish maw was rich, and further sweetened by pumpkin which also gave the soup a frothier texture. Chef Khuah also gives the wasabi prawn creation a twist by using lobster instead - a good substitute although his wasabi-mayo mixture could be just a little sharper and sweeter for more oomph.

The Hakka yam abacus dish was an interesting one, with yam shaped into abacus 'beads' and mixed with a stir-fry of minced meat and diced green beans for flavouring and crunch. Dessert was a delicate double-boiled hashima served in a young coconut shell, so that it carried the aroma of coconut. Prices for the dishes are in the $10 to $20 range.

Dining in Made in China - especially if you're in the Chinese Clan Hall or the Grand Food Hall - provides a talking point, as much research and effort has gone into collecting information and reproducing artefacts. The food repros in the Grand Food Hall, I've to say, are very delectably done.

Even as you check out the food, don't give the museum a miss either - it's worth at least one walk around to see interpretations about how the Chinese survived as gold miners in Africa, laundrymen in Australia and railway workers in Canada, besides being traders and coolies in Singapore and Malaysia.

The museum is rather interactive, and children will like the Trailblazer room which is like a play area under the watchful eyes of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, peering fiercely from their posters.

You can now drive your car all the way up to park next to Hua Song, but frankly, taking a walk up the statue-lined path - if you haven't been back to Haw Par Villa since you were six - is a novel trip down memory lane.

Mushrooms in the Sky

I got cut off. I was supposed to answer a question and I got cut off. 25% of my CA marks gone like that because of some overzealous sista. I mean please la, we all take turns to speak you cutting me off was just plain rude. i'd have liked to throw my water bottle at you if not for the fact that I still had water inside and didn't want to waste it.

i suppose that's how it works. in court we have the adversarial system. in class we have the class participation system. each class is only 3hrs and within that time (if you're the presenting group), you have to get yourself heard. granted everyone wants to get ahead, but it's just a bad rep one'll be getting if this happens persistantly. what's sad is when we get to the big four firms, we'll be doing it all over again. but it'll be perfectly justifiable. in that scenario, there'll only be 1 SC or 2, and 40 pupils. everyone wants the attention of the SC, so you can bet the fur flying will start pretty soon. in a way i'm looking forward to 'working' as opposed to studying right now. i believe i can function better practically. i don't really like all the academic stuff. but when it comes to competing with fellow pupils, well.. we all will have to do a bit of back stabbing and such right?

although i'll sincerely avoid doing that because i believe in karma.

and also because i'm quite lazy to do that and if it backfires it'll be a career suicide.

i have a newfound respect for china because it's making me a bit of money somewhat. and i am pretty proficient in typing chinese nowadays. which is why i can spot a forged chinese letter a mile away. someone tried to pass himself off as a prc recently. my god it was hilarious. the terms used were a little off but the funniest part was it was all tied to the disgusting person xy was mentioning about in her blog. absolutely hilarious this guy's efforts to save his non-existant dignity. makes for great crapper read.

anyway, i have to get used to typing again. and i should start having more observations and long rambling posts soon because if not, this blog would be meaningless.

just spotted a blog 'reviewing' movies and i must say i slammed the author pretty hard because i could not get over the fact that she reviewed a movie badly due to her inability to understand and follow the movie which wasn't even hard to follow in the first place. there was simply no way to misunderstand things and yet... yet ... she did it. and she was one of the top finalists for a certain movie blog contest as well which begs the question: if this is our best of the best movie blogging critics, does this reflect the level our singapore movie-goers are?

i'm so tempted to go full mode into my anti-jack ramble ala 2 years ago but i shall refrain. other than my point that he's a money making scumbag that sacrifices quality for quantity, and he has no concept of art not that he ever had. he has not a shred of originality on him if you consider that liang po2 was copied from a taiwan variety show and his only decent hit was home run, which was copied from an independent film (children of heaven). [incidentally, his version was children of heaven meets i love coffeeshop politics, which i have a low tolerance for] other than making remakes, what did he really do right if he ever did right at all? look at his biggest hit, money no enough. if THAT is considered art, well, then i say singapore can esad. it doesn't help that mediawhore is doing anything BUT promoting art. sure, they throw money into raintree pictures and they sponsor movies. but think about it. what part of those 'international' raintree films are actually singaporean? or have anything even remotely connected to singapore? perhaps the film they shot it on was bought in singapore since they sponsored the film and just slap their logo at the opening credits rite?

think about this again. singaporeans may not deserve good writing and good films/tv shows. why do i say that? remember a long time back they had this pilot thingy going on. 6 finalists shot 1 pilot each and they allowed singaporeans to vote on which one should be made into a series/mini series. out of all 6, the best concept one imo was the one where a group of NSman were training in the jungle and were transported back in time to the japanese occupation. sounds interesting? i caught it and felt there was potential here. then guess which one won the chance to be made into a series? some reality tv fuck about city kids being forced to stay for 1 week in the kampung. WTF. singapore has chosen. and it's saying that WE WANT STUPID SHOWS BECAUSE WE ARE STUPID. and mediawhore (and jack) are listening and churning out CRAP to feed us becasue WE DEMAND CRAP.

therefore sgtv will FOREVER be stuck in the crap stage where you turn on ch8 and chU and all the soap dramas are alike with screaming females winning the best actresses awards. we will never progress and we will forever have the false impression that THIS IS ART.

why change something when it works and is making money? here's a tidbit to discourage people from watching the new jack flick. it was reported that the CGI artist said he didn't have time to finish the work. but it was demanded that it be handed up by the deadline. which is why the CGI looked half fuck. apparently some scenes were so bad that an actor's hand can disappear. so we can see he's not even making the effort to produce quality films for singaporeans, all jack cares about is churning out his crap to suck the cny ang pow money. and the throngs of singaporeans are blindly supporting him.

xy told me something interested regarding an indonesian god and politics. which lead to the question of: if jack runs to be an MP, will he win? she says yes. i say yes but i hope for singapore's sake no. not that arnold was such a bad governer though i don't know. not that ronald reagan was such a bad president. he's supposed to be good incidentally. but because this is jack. there has been nothing original about him and i fail to see how he can contribute to parliament. (and i don't like the way he's saying how he feels for singaporeans but he's actually screwing them in his own special way) he may get in because the majority of singaporeans are stupid and will jump to vote for a friendly face. this is especially so if his opponents are WP members.. hahaha.. i will vote against him, wayne will vote against him. azmin will vote for any melayu that's there... oopss...

why is this titled mushrooms in the sky?

that's because...

The reason why I can't study at home

I come back and I see this:



And it's not even 1% of my collection.

How to study at home. Whine.

Monday, January 08, 2007

1st day of skool

To reiterate my point made before. The bus route is extremely silly. I waited as long as I usually had to wait for the bus and what's worse is that now I even have to wait another 15mins to change another bus to get back to PGP. Cutting cost doesn't equal cutting time and instead I took 45min to get back to my cool aircon room.

Sheesh.

on a ligher note, what is this Manu doing at the inter-jc pageant 2007 thingy?
