In Penang

1. Few people in the service industry provide good (or even remotely acceptable) customer service. Went to the lady I usually get my clothes altered at a couple of days ago and had her throw some verbal punches my way. And then refuse a job I wanted done. Hello??? Me is the paying customer of you - rarr! I think I need to find me a new clothes alteration specialist lah, dammit. (Whoa. I just totally glamour-fied her job with that job title. -_-) Any suggestions? Oh, and the most recent incident took place cos I visited NOSE at Queensbay Mall today. I tell you, I really felt like ripping a salesgirl's hair out. Sylvia was her name. Puh-thooi! So rude! And so annoying! Never name your kids Sylvia lah. Damn suey. Cos this one turned out to be a real brat with bad English and little IQ.


2. There is no fast lane. Seriously. The left lane is going slowly, and the right is doing its best to keep up with it! Yes, it is that ridiculous. ARRRGGHHH!! I can't take it! You can't rush anywhere. Seriously. You've gotta leave the house a gazillion lightyears before it's time you've gotta be somewhere else. Cos if you leave yourself with just enough time, you're screwed. Cos there's never enough time. Not when there's no fast lane. Pfft. No fast lane. I mean, seriously – cummon! Sheesh!


3. Bikers, cyclists and aunties with big grocery baskets rule the streets. Thinking of taking up a whole lane when you drive cos it's specially made for the width of your car? Please. Just do yourself a favour and forget it. Why? Cos a puny 70cc bike is probably taking up all that space. Or an aunty with bifocals hanging from a chain around her neck, slumberly walking along the road (and by that I mean "right smack in the middle of the road"), dragging her shopping basket along. Or bicycle's going at 2km per hour and you're expected to stick to your place in the queue. Haih. It's freakin' cowboy town here, wei.


4. The weather sucks. I had a little birdy tell me it rained in KL today. It rained! So why not in Penang?! I mean, we're not that far off from where KL is wat. Only 350km or so. Ugh! And possibly cos of the lack of rain, it's so freaking hot here it's not funny. My skin's peeling like nobody's business and I tell ya, I'm thinking it's not just cos of the heat. Penang's a lot closer to the North so them damn (whoa) North Winds are really swooping in real aggressive. Haih. So much for good skin. This wind-blown assult on my epidermis is just killing my complexion.


Sigh.

You know what?
I can't think no more.

I shall continue to expand this list when my eyes
aren't half-closing and my brain isn't half-asleep.

-_-

And just cos it feels like it's been awhile
since I last posted camwhore pictures, here's one:




Nights, y'all.

I think those who works in the service industry who don't provide great service to meet their customer's expectation, at least more than 20% of their expectation should be thrown into the pit full of angry bulls. Period! *phew*

No la, not only in Penang they refuse to alter. I went to my taylor (?) like 1 week before CNY and she told me cannot anymore coz too rush. All I needed was to cut of the long pieces of my jeans -_-

What're we short people gonna do. Guess I'll just drag along the long piece until someone cuts it off for me. :(

Been to Penang 4 yrs ago. Lots of mopeds everywhere, quite garang too..., made KL moped-cyclists looked tame in comparison.

Been getting too much rain till places were flooded, bad, and more coming floods?


Happy Chinese New Year!

ATTN: - nithya -
– Bleh. What rotten news. -_-


ATTN: RealGunners
– Dunno lah. My friend told me it rained.

Haha. My ride back to Penang was good. Surprisingly, there wasn't a jam on the bridge though I arrived about the time when traffic's usually a nightmare.

Hmmm. No psycho-red-Kancil guy. Perhaps he'll catch my eye on my day back to KL. =p


ATTN: choco
– No wor. Mine wasn't cos of timing. I'm in no rush to get my stuff. But this woman told me that what I wanna do is IMPOSSIBLE. And all I want is for her to take in the sides. SHEESH!


ATTN: Chris
– Hahaha. Tell me about it. The bikers are terrible here. They ride like they own the road. Tsk tsk. Never realise that if kena anything, they're the ones who die.

Eee. It's raining where you are, too???

Unknown said...

yup, like the worst flood in 30yrs, but it'd only afflicted the eastern part of the country, i'm on the other side, so wasnt affected.

NE monsoon, still.
