More rude people

For those who are dear to me are surely, clearly, irritatingly reminded by me :P - how i am scouting for a new hp and am surveying the prices to get the best bargain. I do not want to be the fool to realise that i can get the same item at a lower price just next door some time after i made my purchase.

As i was scurrying into Giant KJ after class in order to get some stuff to head home before the traffic-hour-madness, i walked passed this f@#%ing communication shop and spotted the hp i am planning to own. Feeling adventurous ( u guys know how much i hate going to those shops with those ah beng 'sales assistants' ), I approached a rather cute sales assistant there to ask for the selling price. Suddenly hor, another sales assistant MUNCUL behind of me macam what chinese people says ' sip chieng kwai ' and asked if he can help me.

The first impression of him is already bad ( NO, WL, not because he is ugly :P ) as he spoke to me in the glorious Bahasa Malaysia. F@#%ingAss!!! Another DEAF ass who didnt hear i spoke to his cute colleague in fluent CANTONESE.

OOOKAY, i decided to be patient and replied to him in the Queen's language.

Mr. Ugly&Rude told me that the hp i asked for is currently retailing at RM1090 where he can sell it to me at RM1050 - the AP unit la. I told him i am not interested as i am going to buy an original one. He loudly countered that they sells original units too at RM1190. As a normal and POLITE customer, i enquired if that is the lowest price he can offer. Be prepared, mates, here is where he lashed out his fury of rudeness...

Mr. Ugly&Rude : I can give u RM1150 lo.

Polite me : I see... Also about the same with Sg. Wang and other places. Is that REALLY the lowest u can go?

Mr. Ugly&Rude : You serious wan buy a not ? If you really want to buy only i tell you what is the price. (this question was asked with exclamation marks and an irritated growl plus those sinister look as if I cant afford to make the purchase )

Still Polite and offended me : *WTMF...!!!* Of course, if not I wont be scouting for the prices wat. I am RECONSIDERING NOW if i SHOULD buy or NOT.

Mr Ugly&Rude : Actually ar, miss, i sell u the hp ar, i no untung u know. We all sell original units all hilang duit wan. (dat stupid rotten lanciao then added) - Only by selling AP units we can untung FEW hundreds la... So u see, the price i offer lu ar, very the cheap adi. YOU go everywhere oso same price like mine wan. ( again, in a rude intonation )

Now disgusted-me : I see... I SEE NOW...

Mr. Rude&Ugly : So you really wan buy anot now? This month ar, i haf to sell 2 more original units to hit the quota to get the commission. So you see, miss, you wan buy anot now? ( His facial expression growing impatient and ' kow ngan hon yan taie' ) Serious wan, wan buy anot?

Me-with-a smirk-on-my-face : I think i shall reconsider. Thanks (without a smile to accompany that tq and walked away.)

You see - Mr. Rude&Ugly - its not my F#$%ing business if you profit anything or not from your sales ok? I am just a CUSTOMER where YOUR PROFITS come from. As if i give a chee-bye care if you hit your quota or not. Sorry if i am born not looking like i can afford your god damned RM1150 hp, but seriously ah beng, you can wipe that arrogant look off your face when i buy over your cheap company soon and your are the first to be recessed.

I truly can never understand these handphone-seller-ah-bengs ar, whom always look at customers as if they are poor-lowly-garbage that cannot afford to buy their high-profit-margin-AP-units. Who do they think will buy if not us CUSTOMERS? And where goes the CUSTOMER SERVICE? I am not expecting a 5-star treatment, but at least, be polite. I dont even bother to want you to flash your million-dollar crooked teeth smile, just wipe those prejudiced eyes with dettol and clorox.

This incident only will reinforce my decision to go buy my hp at sg.wang from that handsome 'gege' who was POLITE and he knows how to SMILE even to poor-lowly-garbage like me. At least there, I can make my purchase without getting discriminated and will have an eye-candy to process my purchase *wink*.

But then again, what good manners can we expect from the ahbeng hp salesman? He wouldnt be there if he actually has manners and well-civilised-education. *evil me* muahahahar....!!!

Books Galore!

This is the first time i ever bought 3 books at one go :P

Was at Borders. They always have the promo of buy-2-free-1 all year round but i have never purchased any as they usually does not have any combination of 3 books that interests me. However, I fell into their 'marketing-trap' this time as they had a few that caught my attention. Hence, RM80 flew into the already-rich company :p Dont get me wrong, albeit spending money, I do receive the excitement from making the purchase - yeah, me the psycho who enjoys buying stuff but not yet a shopaholic. [ anyone who wants to object this statement of mine? :P ]

While cashing out bill on the way out from a sushi restaurant at The Curve, a lady ahead of us - apparently the rich type of aunty, was complaining to the cashier over some misunderstanding she had with one of the foreign waiters. Apparently she wanted to order cold ocha but the waiter told her they doesnt have it and therefore she had to order HOT ocha and then request for a glass of ice. She claimed that she was positive that they does serves cold ocha there - just that the waiter doesnt bother to seek assistance when he doesnt understand the order and insisted that they doesnt have what she requested. What the....?

She complained of how incompetent and ignorant that waiter are of the restaurant's menu and wished the managers to "EDUCATE" their workers so that other customers will not go through the same hassles as she did.

Yes, i do agree that we, as consumers should voice up our complaints and 'constructive critism' to the managements - but do you have to be so fierce and rude? Pardon me, aunty, cant you at least speak nicely without rolling your eyes big and raising up the octave of your voice? The ironic part is, she even ended that by saying she only meant to give her [apparently considerate] comments and was not blaming anyone. Yeah right, if it was just merely a goodwill comment, whats with the raised voice and eye-rolling?

There goes the national campaign of ' Budi Bahasa Budaya Kita' down the dirty Klang River of ours. Seems like we are practising ' I'm the customer, I am rich, therefore I can be loud and rude to you low-income people. '

SP - Where are you?

I am wondering for the umpteenth time - SP, WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUUU.....? [ echoes then resonates back at me still hear no reply from u :( ]

You all see, she is the one who 'motivates' aka paksa-rela me to start this blog :P
Mana tau she is MIA... I want your opinion leh... You are supposed to start one too leh!
*grumble grumble grumble*

And again, where are yoooouuuuu.........?

In memory of my beloved Iro...

I shall dedicate this entry in loving memory of my beloved Iro Chen...

Iro left us on a sunny, Saturday afternoon of 4th March 2006 after spending a decade in our home.

He was my best-best-best-bestest friend, my first love.

He was the cuddly toy when we are bored.

He was the reason to smile after a hard day.

He was the companion who sits through the night to accompany me.

He dried my tears when i broke down.

He loves me too.

How I miss the times I spent walking around the neighbourhood with Iro in the evenings. How Iro always eager for a taste for mangoes. How Iro will put on his cute face to 'extort' food from us. How eager he is when he sees us pick up his comb. How eager he is to bathe despite hating being wet. How wonderful he smells of the shampoo. How he gets angry. How... How... How... There is just too many memories that are guaranteed to haunt me always.

It thoroughly devastated me to know that he can no longer walk the journey of life with me but it soothes me to know that he has now ended his long sufferrings. May you be free from all kinds of sufferrings and I shall dedicate my merits to you.

You shall always be the one I remember always - no pet can replace your position in my heart.

You know I will always miss and loves you lots.

Goodbye, my yaya-dog...

Ham-ha!

My first post :P

Am an excited panda today.
