Failed Delivery
01/12/2008 05:48
HUH??? Did the postman deliver at 05.48???
I called Singpost and asked the staff where is the parcel coz no one saw the postman this morning (assuming it was delivered before 12pm). So, it is impossible my father missed the postman coz he is at home every day! How could the postman simply keyed "Failed Delivery?"
After informed the tele-staff the item no., she replied "Sorry m'am, we cannot attend to your call right now coz we have a high volume of phone calls now. So, we can only take down your enquire and we will reply you shortly."
*blood boils* HUH? What has your high volume of phone calls got to do with me?? I demanded no, i say the postman must be still around my area, so they can ask their Courier dept to contact the postman and have him call me. She said "M'am, but i am not in direct contact with the Postman."
Me: Yes, i know. Your Courier dept can do it right? They know which area the postman is right now right? They can ask the postman to redeliver by today right?
She: Ok, i will pass your message to my Courier dept and have them contact you.
Me: The worst thing is, the Postman didnt even leave a "failed delivery" note. I suspect he didnt come at all!
She: Maybe he will come back before 6pm?
Me: That is maybe. If i didnt hear anything by 3pm today, i will call you again.
She: Ok, sure.
Wah,,1st time i encountered such a lembek service!!
Imagine they took down all the enquiries from customers,,when will they finish answering all these enquiries??? They should feedback to their supervisor and have them hire more staffs!
Now is almost peak period..wonder what will happen if they didnt increase the number of staffs to handle customer's enquires.
Sooooooooooo lembek!!! Our Singpost service is very slack lately!~ Or everyone there is already Holiday mood? Or Moody coz no pay increament??
Dear Yeqi, your blog is really long time no update,,lolz XD

Avoiding energy draining people
Received a phone call this afternoon around 2.30pm. It was a "xi ke"!!~ It's Alice from Alice 88th!~~ She said she has been searching high and low for the past 1 day and 1 nite for the upcoming Doll Party 20 (she said "doll fair" initially, den changed to say "doll party" later.) at Tokyo Big Site on next Thu.
http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/event/dolpa20/index.html
Im impressed by the fact that she is willing to go see the Real Thing! She said she is tired and tot of going holiday. If she can get the tickets, she will go.
Think there are 2 boy boy customers who are with her. One whom ive spoke to coz Alice cant provide more specific info. Heard the other boy boy at the background. He said "oh,,tat visual-kei lau ban niang arh?". Wah,, i felt soo "aunty" at that moment!! It was soo funny. Maybe he think i am as aunty as Alice??
Yes, i got the tickets for her.
She and 1 friend went to book their air tickets. She called again to ask me if got anyway to book the hotel. Told her if she is only going for a few days, ask her tour operator to book for them. It is easier. Also, it is sooo last minute..and she dont go online..so it is tough to help her book online.
She called again. Said sales was poor and ask me if i got any "remedy". I said no,,,now times are bad,,so no point stocking up so much goods in the hope fans/customers will buy. I said "u got biz wat,,one of my mei mei said she bought S$100+ from you last weekend!". She said "tat is just for me to cover rental and utilities!"
She asked when will the pre-order for the h.naoto lucky pack start. From her tone, it seems she wants to do a collaboration. Dont think will do a collaboration with her. If she want, just order like regular customers. It is the easiest. Imagine if got left over stocks..wat am i going to do with them?? And whose cost will it be under? Prefer it to be more clear cut..
Most impt,,i'll be selling the h.naoto lucky packs much cheaper than her. Think that is the reason why she prefers to do collaboration. My customers come first.
Last night YY smsed to say she got her citizenship approved!~ I think now it is easy coz we "need" tonnes of new immigrants. Just replied her "Congratulations! This is your best Xmas gift." She said " yah,,hope to go makan celebration with you soon!". I didnt reply.
Actually have been trying to avoid her lately. She is soo negative, naive (thinking buying a laptop, can open an online shop tat will bring in hugh sales so she can quit her full time job) and always talk as if she is in her la-la world. To top it off, she is 47yo. It is very energy draining to be with such people. Good as a regular friend but not those everytime go out together type.
Thu nite received LP's sister's email coz she enquires about some sid tour goods. She asked "how have u been? Long time we didnt hear from you." It reminds me of wat LP said before. " I dont contact ppl one,,ppl contact me." Tot to tell them i now also become such a person,,waiting for ppl to contact me. Like tat is good..they will never contact me coz they dont make the first move in the first place. I used to enjoy going out with them but then,,they have too many IDK (I Dont Know) until the tot of going out with them scares me. Another type of energy draining friend.
I dont mind regular grumbles and complains but when it is overly excessive.. i got turned off. Also, there is nothing mind stimulating when talking to energy draining people. All im thinking was "when can i go back?".
Luckily i have only these 3 energy draining friends (Last time got tat DM..now finally "got rid" off).
The world seems to be getting messier. Mumbai terrorist attack, Thailand's opposition seige, world financial crisis.... Seems no place is safe on earth.

not going to indonesia
Got headache yday,,,so, i cancelled my Indonesia trip today. Paid S$75 for the penalty charge. The refund for the air ticket takes 3-6mths!! Soo long..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Hi Xuann, im actually going with my push cart friend..she wants to go there to see see look look...so, she will go alone,,
From the Indonesia guidebook...there is nothing interesting in Jakarta. It seems like KL to me.... only interesting places are their outskirt islands where u can go snorkling and nature walks. I just wonder if im sick there,,and have to eat all the malay food? zzz....
i shall have a lazy week this week..before i do the gaze and myv calendar pre-order early next week. This time round, PSC outsourced the calendars to Lawson. Last year their online shop was selling and also Lawson...I think this year they are very busy,,,coz 3rd Jan is the long awaited PSC tour.
Wondering if PSC staffs got big bonus this year?? I dont think so,,coz this year Gaze dont have much activities,,,lolz...

Random rants
Japanese artists 09 calendars. All are limited editions with free gift. I am most interested in gackt (poster size!) and hide's calendar (unique),,lolz. http://www.lawson.co.jp/cal2009/index.html
So far, the most unique calendar ive came accross is hide's 08 version and sid 07 version. hide's 08 calendar comes in the form of 6 plastic pet bottles (like those retro coke bottles) with a cardboard tray holding it. Inside holds a cloth which has 2mths of calendars on it.
Sid's 07 calendar was soo super large...i think it was 2 or 3x the size of the B2 size (52cm x 73cm). Maki was the one who bought it. Now, sid is being sidelined by maki,,,
Last night, Maki smsed and say about the gaze's shocking act. They played live illegally at Shinjuku and police were called in to stop the act. The venue can hold abt 2000ppl but 7000ppl turned up! Maki smsed awhile ago saying this report was everywhere in Japan's entertainment news. This is such a refreshing style of promotion and free publicity! Abit of yakuza style also,,hahaha. Well, only the japanese have such creativity and not "kia si" of the police.
Thanks to Vonnie yday,,i got to know tat mac donald no longe have garlic chilli!! And also Central's glass panels are fragile. I must take double care when i visit Central..
Next Wed will go to Jakarta (coming back on Monday). Finally going to a place where i no longer need to chiong for shopping. yday went to buy some used children books and new stationary (colour pencils, stationary sets). Will bring it to Indonesia for the children.. Hope to visit some rural areas.
Just went to the library to borrow a guide book on Indonesia. Yday went to the Central library,,,gosh,,they only left 1 Indonesia guide book and it was published in 2002..quite outdated...so didnt borrow.
Wont be bringing my laptop. I hope to enjoy the 5 days without an internet connection. Ive never tried a day without going online. Hope i can tahan.

Dont forget to open your eyes.
Our media,,something to ponder.. i didnt buy straits times for a long time..read news online is much better and more close to reality.

Dont Despair
Dear Vonnie,
Dun despair over the Yen or your trip. Maybe next year the exchange rate improve liao? Do be optimistic. Glad to know you also petitioned for the fare increases.
After reading theonlinecitizen.com...i realised soooo much of our government's adequateness. Normally i dont care about politics,,but maybe i grow older liao,,so is concerned. The worst part of our govt have 1st class salary but 0 class efficiency. Lately LKY compared our poor with our neighbouring countries But pegged their salary to 1st class countries???! Got siao boh?? Btw, our minister's salary is x 8 of the US or China's PM's salary. Funny siar,,,run a mini island but x 8 times of salary of any top 5 world class country. We are not even certified 1st class!
I love this:

Star strucked (in dreams)
One mei mei's blog. The header's pic is soo relax. "Live on the move With no destination". Wonder how many ppl on this earth feels this way? I feel this way too...
http://saltedpopcorns.livejournal.com/
Was "star strucked" on Monday nite. It was in my dream. Dreamt that i went to A9 (wonder why it is A9??)'s concert with JY (she is a super hugh A9 fan who went for a 1mth A9 concert tour in Jan 08). Beside JY's seat came Yoshiki and his 2 partners!!~ I was star strucked when i saw Yoshiki approaching the seats and he sat in between his 2 partners!~ Both the partners were ladies (not very pretty leh) and JY talked to one of them who sat beside her. She told her "we are Yoshiki's biz partners". I was surprise lor,,coz isnt Yoshiki's Extasy Record funded by his mum???
Hmm,,,anyway,,i seize the opportunity to ask for his autograph (ma tu liao!) !~~ Nothing for him to signed on except on the A9 tour pamphlet (??). The page after the cover was blank..so he signed there with an All Cap YOSHIKI, den he signed. I was in extasy man,,and a darn happy fan!!~ JY didnt do anything,,i think she she dun care,,lolz.... Den, Yoshiki asked for my email add,,so i gave him. Dunno why, i didnt take a picture with him leh.and why is he attending A9's concert?!~
Surprisingly,,i really received his email!!~ He said thank you for the support and say he can give me 10% discount if i want to buy any X japan or related stuffs. I was like 'huh?? like tat also can???" I just tot of buying the Dahlia album..coz mine was full of scratches..lolz..
Puff,,the dream ended,,i dont remember replying him also,,,,
Star strucked dreams are Happy Dreams!!!~ It has been such a donkey years since i dreamt about stars. Long time ago, i dreamt abt Andy Lau,,he was a newspaper seller opp my house..in a shopping center,,,hahaha.
Nice to hear from you Vonnie,,forget to tell you..collection on 15th is ok coz the photos sets cant make it for this week's shipment. It was ordered from the online site coz manual print at 7-11 has very poor quality...so,,the wait is abit longer..no news of it yet..haiz... Btw, this Sat at bugis junction got some petition thing going with regards to the transport fees for Poly students. Perhaps you want to go check it out. The details are at theonlinecitizen website.
Today a mei mei said Uruha's R and R's long hair is extension. Vonnie, ni bu kui shi ge Gaze fans!!~ *Salute* Btw, PSC 2005 dvd will be having a re-release on 12/24,,wat a romantic timing...ideal as Xmas gift.
Dear Caiko, how have you been? (And also Devan and Christine). Thank you for your comments. Congratulations on your new President, Mr Obama today. We are hopeful he will bring success and change to the USA and also the world.
Read from Christine's blog that she is selling stuffs to raise her school fees. It must be a stressful time for her..
I find this 2008 Election is a positive indication of Change. It is like when the Berlin wall came down in 1989, the world becomes flat (digital era). I hope in the next 2011 Singapore's election, we will see some positive changes too. :)
