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. Maybe this is out of their jurisdiction...to deliver mail effectively. So I called them and listened to "we're sorry but all our customer service attendants are busy" and a very bad version of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on loop for 5 minutes, someone finally answered and told me that it was an unsuccessful delivery. Yea cool, thanks for letting me know. After the most mind numbing 5 minutes of explaining and (almost)negotiating, "Okay, then can you put an order to call me when they arrive? Here i...

Awhile ago I dropped my phone on the road and this resulted in the grossest shatter ever. I made myself feel better and changed my wallpaper to an image of lightning so that it kinda blended in with the background. But alas, all good things (read with much sarcasm) when I dropped my phone again and the screen completely died! I was contemplating just getting a new phone but I liked my Samsung and didn't really want to go through the hassle of getting a new phone..I hate editing settings and importing contacts etc. So I went to Samsung to ask them how much it would be to fix my screen; "This one, it's RM600 to replace la miss" "What?!!? RM600!!!" I say in disbelief!  .."to replace the screen? can you give it to me cheaper?" I ask, already knowing the answer. "Can't la miss sorry" Damnit! "Hmm..Let me ask you a question, I know you work here and all but do you use Samsung too?" "Yes, I do" "Why do we use it ah? ...

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

What Mother Says | Mystery Meat Sausage

"Can I have french toast and a side of grilled sausage too?"  I tell the waitress. Eating breakfast for dinner but whatever! It's my party. "You know..you should stop eating sausages" mum says. "Oh? Why?" "They say it's made out of all the parts that are leftover" "Yea, I've heard but.. anything la" ".....the ears, she says dramatically, the bones, the fur, the.... hooves! " she says scrunching her hands in a hoof-like-manner. "So dramatic mother" "But it's true!" So my french toast came and I don't know if it was psychological or not, but the sausages tasted odd and I was thinking about all the random mystery meats that were packed into it's edible case. It was the grainy sausage which didn't help it's case (pun unintended). Okay, maybe should stop eating sausages, I thought to myself "Let me try some of your french toast" mum said as she picked up the toast and a ...

Get a flattening tummy.

The other day I pulled up my skinny jeans and with great effort.... ...admitted to myself that they didn't fit anymore. *cries....and comforts self with cake. No for real, I'm actually eating cake now* (Time to pack away the crop tops and tubes I guess) It's been an on going problem that probably boils down to one thing : I don't exercise. People always say that there aren't any short cuts and if you want to get toned you have to exercise. Bleh whatever. I've been really busy! Exercise? But. but. but. but. but! What if you didn't have to exercise to get a toned tummy?  What if there was something that exercised your tummy for you?  T hat penetrated deep into the fattiest fatty tissues and made them exercise on their own?   Without you even lifting a finger? I went to Bella Skin Care the other day to try out their new INDIBA SIX PACK technology. Okay I know what you're thinking. This must be yet another slimming session that doesn't even make you slim...

So the other day,  Bob & I we were walking around The Gardens when we bumped into our friends, "They're having a sale! up to 70% off on bed sheets 10000 (okay I forgot how many) thread count" So Bob decided it was a good time to buy bed sheets and 10000 thread count covers for his house. #peerpressure  That was probably the longest time that I've waited for someone to buy their bed sheets. Sure, I've bought them plenty of times but I usually just pick the ones that look nice or match with my walls or something, how wrong can bed sheets or pillow cases go right? There he was pacing up and down, going from this shelf to the next, asking the sales assistant if this came in this or if this was fitted with this and if that was plain or not plain or had queen sized. The store was almost closing when he decided on one. White. Plain. 15000 thread count (okay, I forgot how many). He was so excited he put it in the wash immediately and then the dryer when he got back. T...
