The Malaysian Post At Its Finest.

A lot of things irk me, but the number ONE thing I simply cannot stand is inefficiency... especially if you're paying for it. So here's how the story (of what is going to be a very ranty post) goes. I ordered something online and I didn't receive it after some time. So I tracked it down and it stated that the delivery was unsuccessful.  I was wondering why they didn't call me or put a note or something to tell me they couldn't deliver my parcel. Ya okay fine.

Perth, 2012. We've all had bad days, maybe bad weeks, but my 2014 has been... less than favourable. I wish I was back here, phase-of-life wise, place-of-life wise and also pant-size wise. (Almost) not a care in the world and all I had to worry about was what fun things there was to do the next day. That, and punching addresses into the GPS as to not get lost on the highway. Sometimes I wish I could wake up and it'd be 2012 again. x
