A bottomless whirlpool

I wondered if I did the right thing. Staring helplessly at the sight before me, I kind of understood the rationale behind it. Not too long ago, I explored the same thoughts. Just that I didn't push through it in the end. Would I? With a guilty heart,I admit I might have just done the same thing.

OCBC Frank Card - Complaint about late charges waiver and customer service

I'm sure most people are using the OCBC Frank Card and other OCBC Cards for their rebates and such. This is my experience with their customer service with regards to my late charge waiver request. 1st time: Called the customer service hotline and asked for the late charge waiver. It was rejected via sms on 5 Feb 2015. (Btw, this is only the 2nd time I have a late charge with the bank) 2nd time (5 Feb 2015): Called the hotline again and requested to speak with the customer service officer. She claimed that I have to arrange for GIRO payment with the bank in order for the late charge to be waived. But since I have no idea where my ATM card is, she helped me request for a PIN so that I can go to the ATM to do a PIN Change to log into my internet banking. 3rd time(12 Feb 2015): Called the customer service again since I did not get the PIN via mail. (So how can I do the GIRO arrangement?) Requested for them to send the PIN so that I can do the GIRO arrangement. I told them AGAIN...

Bad experience at Fitness First Singapore for membership transfer

Recently, as I have been busy, I wanted to transfer my membership to someone else. Naturally, I called up Fitness First to check if I can transfer the membership and they told me that as long as they are willing to pay the transfer fee of 98 bucks and the remaining months of the membership, I am able to do the transfer. It sounds alright, correct? Then, when I attempted to transfer the membership, problems started to arise. Initially, the staff at Market Street Fitness First told me that yes, I can do the transfer(and that is after calling them multiple times as none of the staff can actually confirm it. They just told me to wait for their return calls which never ever happens.) Then after that, when I called for a last time to confirm when I wanted to make my way down, they suddenly told me that because I am on a term membership, they are unable to let me transfer my membership. (And I had already made arrangements with the person that will be taking over my membership) That w...

Ikea dinner on Sat night and Serious discussion

Went to Ikea on Sat. It has been our favourite place ever since we got together? We finally had dinner at Ikea even though we have been there for quite a few times. Super a lot of food for the two of us We also managed to narrow down some stuff that we want for our house when it's ready :D This afternoon, we finally sat down and talked about emil. Our lunch was peppered with happy talks till the topic came up, and he could tell that I didn't really want to talk about it. (or think about it even) After my afternoon nap, we chatted again and he brought up the same topic. I agree that I am very bias against her, but I really can't stand the thought of PL being bullied by emil even though he thinks that she is not. After much discussion, I agree to try to be more gracious to her. (I am only trying hor.) He told me that he was very willing to continue on the relationship when he brought me back to his house at first, seeing how okay I was with his family. I ...

Utterly disgusting behaviour

I hate people who leeches off people's money. Do have the decency to pay for stuff that you have bought/eaten. My money is as hard-earned as yours, and we are not your providers. Ask your whatever god that you have to provide you with stuff if you need them so much, or you don't bite off more than you can chew.

7 things that no one told me about relationships

1) Hormones make people change. It is one thing to say that one value virginity, but when the heat of that moment comes, everything just disappeared to the back of the mind. 2) Passing the trust test does not make trusting people any easier. There is this trend going around in camps to do the trust test. Basically, it involves you falling towards the ground and getting your camp mates to catch you. Believe me, that is not the true test. The true trust test is when you are in a relationship, and your bg/gf ask you if they can go out alone with a member of the opposite sex. (It doesn't help if they are damn popular with the members of the opposite sex) the ideal situation In real life 3) Porn is not the same as sex Porn are just overrated stuff. They all look damn perfect doing all those poses from karma sutra. Maybe they are closet gymnasts. And I bet they are super fit too, with all those thigh muscles working out everytime. 4) The want to spend more ...

Review: Hunger Games - Catching Fire

PL and I went to catch Hunger Games - Catching fire in JB, KSL City (MBO). Ticket price is 14RM each. It's cheap! And the seat arm can be taken up, so that we can sit closer to each other =P I had already watched the first movie, and read the book a few times, so I knew what to expect, but PL, who has not watched nor read it, was quite ok with the movie, so I guess it is not too bad. It is really for Hunger Games fans (or Battle Royale) because the concept is very similar. There was not as much bloodshed, but Mags dying really got me weeping. The 2hr plus movie is a breeze to sit through, and I was not ready to leave the seat despite the ending of the show (even though I needed to piss badly). The ending of the show was just to abrupt for me to accept it. How can that be the ending?!!! Come on! Get the next one out quick!! P.S: I think Katniss looks fatter in this movie than the previous one. She probably got fat sitting in the Victors' village and co...

Frustrating customers

There are some irritating people out there who do not know the meaning of waiting, and demands to be served immediately. Even when the fault is clearly of the system, they like to think that they are up and above the staff who is serving them. These people are the lowest of the mankind.

Like a see-saw

没有安全感。 Now I totally get the meaning of a peaceful life. Because I currently do not have one. If only I have a emotion switch that can be turned off anytime I want to. On the other hand, I learnt that DSS is like social safety net. He's the one that I can go whining to; the one who doesn't judge what I'm doing; the one who gives me advice; the one who knows what I need more than I do. I'm eternally grateful to him, even though he probably doesn't know it. I now understand why he said the words that he said to me before. I hope I can grow up a bit more, and really find the someone that he said I would find.

out of security zone

I'm good at ignoring. but sometimes, is it better to loosen up a bit and just have some fun? I wish this is a transparent map that shows me which way I am going, before it's too late. Would any of us take the first step out, into an unknown zone? Which reminds me. I better get the mins out soon.

random thinking

If really die die also have to choose someone, I will probably choose him. After all, I think he is the only person who will think that I am incapable of spending wealth. And even though I'm capable of sending myself back home, he volunteered the cab. Of course, with all the flaws that I have seen with my own eyes.

ironic

ends up that u're the first to know it. You who inches up in my priority list, though there is not much priority to speak of. I can only wait. (which is quite stupid, imo)

Sianz-ness

Joy-killer is the word for work. Why must everyone be in some artificial mode when it comes to work? Japan trip was awesome, but it did not have the wow-factor that I have expected. Sometimes, it is really better not to think about stuff which might or might not happen.

think hard

When it comes to little little things, I like the way he is so concerned. But, when it boils down to everything, I think I always end up keeping my mouth shut. Is there a way to get rid of all these excessive emotions?

1000+ blog post

I have actually posted more than 1000 posts! OMG I feel badded sia, cuz I didn't help out for the deco for matric fair. But I totally couldn't drag myself up. Going to slp soon so that the same thing won't happen again. Anyway, I am busy enough, without more stuff happening. Haiz. And our dear little birdie has been calling me everyday, even though I never pick up her calls maybe like 70% of the time. Have to settle more stuff tml aso gotta slp now =(

Thoughts on Taiwan trip

This trip to taiwan is an eye-opener. It was not what I had pictured it to be, but not too bad either. I have learnt more stuff than I had planned to, both good and bad. I learnt that, never ever go on trips with just one other pple, esp when the person is not ur bf. There are some stuff where you have to experience it in order to learn, and I did. Many things had happened during the taiwan trip, both in Singapore and Taiwan, to me and to others. It was a mere ten days, but there were major changes. I thought that Tashrif was reliable, yet apparently he's not. Just like I thought that ah gong was, but he was not as mature as I thought him to be. First of all, I must admit that I have a stubborn streak, and I want to do things my way. So, when he wanted to go to some places that I do not want to, I refused to, but I suggested to him that he can go with someone else or alone. Since I will be a hindrance to him anyway. So there started the black face thing. I mean, from my pov, I will...

Maybe the thousandth time

Until now, I still think that English is a very impolite language. In Chinese and Japanese, there is a formal way of writing which shows respect to others, but yet, English is still a 'you' But I think the greatest difference is the word itself. The style of writing is very different. And for Chinese and Japanese, they can be called exquisite. Tomorrow, I'll be flying to Taipei, the first trip that I had in months. I kind of look forward to it. Sometimes, I just wish that people won't dump so much stuff on me. And I wish that they won't bother me too much too. But only sometimes. I hope the weather will be nice to us. And I will take kor kor's advice, to be careful =)

DPRK

The first exam was hard. Much harder than what I have expected. Especially since last year's paper was relatively easy. Motivation went spiralling down. Okay, and I can't S/U this paper, PH2110. I'm so totally screwed if others don't feel the same way about the paper. Next paper is HY3226. If I don't do well for this, my cap is going downhill too. Might even end up on academic probation lor. Since my this sem's modules are seriously crap. Fear motivates people. How true is that. Just saw a documentary about North Korea, and the American journalist who was hosting it. I seriously think that she's a bitch. Really really. Somehow, she just gets on my nerves. Anyway, so she was saying that she didn't know who are the ones pretending to be in awe of Kim Jung il, and those who really think that he's god. It's a matter of both brain-washing and the fear factor. Who can be free to state their minds when one wrong choice word would end people up in work c...
