m i gettin impatient???

have i become inpatient or have all d companies i encountered recently become so incompetent?

mths ago started off w picture me. took d studio shots w dear n my parents n yet d collection got delayed when they promised tt it'll b ready in 2 weeks. since i don freq suntec mall, or tt area, luckily i called if not b gg on wasted trip(s).

den encountered another company which promised to get back in 3-4 weeks but ended up become 3-4 mths. den for another issue, stated bout 3 mths but den nw still no news. d reasons for d delays were all invalid. gosh...

den recently, i sign up a membership but den till nw, totally no news. send mail to them to ask but totally no reply. called up n they say they just starting to call n ask me wait somemore. -.-"

n next. HR asked me get d letter of cert fr sch yet given me wrong info all d time confusin me w upper degree graduate so i always ve to clarity b4 i can proceed on. last tue went to sch to get d letter but was told need 3 workin days. was told tt fri can get but they will oso email to inform. so since no mail on fri, i no go down. den i plan to go today yet still no mail. i went to check d website for info again n guess wat i saw. either submit online to get d letter which mayb they will snail mail over or to go down n can collect ON THE SPOT. so y was i told tt i can only collect aft 3 working days n tt thr b email notification which i failed to get? called up n aft d person check, he said tt it was alrdy ready for collection. WTH...

all these companies r so not customer orientated. if they cant deliver, den don promised la. give longer time frame, don promised to email, etc la. i'm super pissed off w all these companies le. if it's u, will u b pissed or m i d impatient one?

inexpensive gift at right time for dear?

though i m on verge to 'declare blankrupt', i m glad i found an inexpensive little gift for dear. it's a black IMAZINE Silicon Ion Watch. was so afraid he couldn't wear cos of d size left for black but d price is so tempting tt i decided to buy. worse come to worse, i wear lor n so i bought n received it today. n jus happened tt dear's power balance bangle broke. though both diff w diff function, think at least he can wear d watch even at work unlike d power balance bangle. n d ion watch got function to increase immunity oso. though not an expensive purchase, hope it will do its job to help him ba esp when his immune defense is weak now.

screwed up HR

end last week, gotten an email fr HR askin me to get 'letter of conferment' fr graduate student office. n while searchin for d location n info, found tt it's meant for higher degree. -.-" so i research further to find tt for undergraduate student, it's actually letter of certification fr the office of acad la... anw, it's not d 1st time d HR mixed up. tt time oso ask me submit my Ph.D cert or so. diaoz... so i cfm w her n oso to check hw i should get d letter. thus, initially wanted to go ytd but cant cos wait for her reply n confirmation n decided to go today sicne she say jus get n give her n somemore same buildin but diff lvl. easy ma.

ended up, dear working afternoon so tot since i free, i go his place in morning den go sch to settle d doc but dear decided to see doc for his fever n so he didn't go work. he said d doc said it's HFMD... rare but not impossible. thus, while he restin aft takin med, at 11am, i decided to head to ntu cos i dun wanna reached durin their so called lunch hour. thus, i ask dear if can take his car n took hiss car to sch. reach in bout 15 min. tot at most wait awhiel for d letter but was told tt they need 3 workin days. peng... i go all d way thr tot can settle in a day like wat HR had said but in d end, in less than 3 min, i gotta go. so by 11.35 am, i reach back to dear's house. n den i gotta go down another day, earliest fri to collect it n bring it upstairs. mayb can settle in less than 15-30 min again. gosh... so inefficient. cant they jus send it upstair for me?

anw, i'm lucky tt i got dear's car today. jus imagine taking public transport? i need like bout 1 hour +/- to reach sch n another 1 +/- hour to reach home leh. even if i take staff bus thr or back, i still need bout 30-40 min to reach dependin on traffic. n i can only choose either 1 trip (to or fro) cos it's ridiculous to wait whole day for d round trip back home. stupid HR la n oso stupid NTU. i rmbr last time when i finish my poly course, they got send a mail to say i finished n graduated n i can used tt to find job. no need like now, to go request for d letter den collect another day n submit.

my advice to my friends who need tt letter. pls go online to request for it. den go collect when ready. if not cos HR said i can go thr get n den bring upstairs, i wont go thr. i would request via online cos i really tot can get it on d spot if go thr personally w d studnet pass. if not, u will ve to go thr write a form for request, den go back at least 3 working days ltr to get n den bring to ur company to submit. i'm still lucky in d sense tt my submission will b jus upstairs aft i collect. so don b so naive like me to listen to d blur HR who always tot i m a graduate student. -.-"

cars

durin these period of time, i concluded tt i'd become a much confident driver. initially, i tot is cos dear's previous honda fit is a smaller size car but recently aft he fall sick n i become his chauffeur, i gotta drive his current car which is a norm size car. even drive alone to submit his mc n it was raining heavily den. somemore, ytd mornin, drove out to tiong bahru w my friend for breakfast den to d clinic i worked b4 in d night to buy med for my dad. den to drive to pick my parents. though i may still ve hiccup while driving n may need more time when parking at time, i no longer fear of parkin whr got vehicles beside. so far, i had driven alone durin peak hr fr town to home, den, in d heavy downpour, den at night too. however, i think my next challenge would b parallel parking. nvr tried tt b4 since i pass yrs ago wor. think if i can master tt, no need to be v v gd, so long s i can park, i think i b v v happy le.

jus last week, i actually experience d feelin of wishin for a car n yet not. mid of last week, had photography course at botanical garden at d ulu ulu gate. had to walk ~1 km, took me almost 18-20 min walk fr busstop n my speed not tt slow one wor. i really wished for the convenience of a car. den fri when my phone is down, i went to PS to check n finally changed d phone. my 3rd handset le. really no comment for iphone 4. i oso walked opps PS cos thr b a day whr my lesson b at fort canning. it's really gd to ve a car. anw, aft tt, i took mrt to SK den Lrt to FV to check out the transport n timing. it's really quite blur for 1st timer n i almost give up n take cab back. d journey was really long. cant imagine if future hw. so i felt tt having a car is really convenient but d petrol, coe, etc is enough to kill.

so much for wishing for a car, when hear mum say my nephew got a car n drove d mum ard, i felt tt since i had no car, tt's gd cos tt way, my mum cant compare. but i cant help but say tt if got no spare 1k per mth, don ever think of gettin a car. d loan, d insurance, d petrol, d servicing, etc. all is $$$... since my pay is v not much, i cfm cant get a car. furthermore, if i got a car, when my parents wanna go soemwhr, they would oso expect me to drive them ard. so tt is so much for having a car.

n ytd, aft i go get dad's med, i dropped my phone cos i forgot it's outside on d car seat n hook to my ear w d ear piece only. so it flew out n got v terrible scratches. even d casing didn't help cos d side of my phone chipped. nw i can only wish tt d screen protector tt was scratched did protect d screen. if not, if anything happen to d phone, i think they can easily treat s it's my fault cos i don take care. WTF...

forget bout d phone. back to car. later ytd night, dad asked me go pick them aft their trip. so i went. it's been i guess 2 yrs since i last drove dad's car n he oso enhance d security sys n so i really not used tt d car would auto lock all d door when engine started. ended up, cos he cant open d boot n he shouted angrily at me. how i noe la. i made a pt to go pick them n yet tt's wat i got? not appreciative leh. so it further enhance me tt it's best i shall nvr get any car. NEVER even if i got spare 1k. $$ save up n keep in my bank for interest better. den go for trip. lol.

but it's still gd if thr is a car at times so can only hope tt thr is cheap hourly rental ard ba. but of cos i shall not let my parents noe if thr is such lobang. i jus wanna drive at my convenience when i really need.

kanna superbugs???

after dear got sick, den dad, den mum & me when dear still can ve aches & feel weak at times...

n i seemed to ve gotten d combination of all of them. mayb a superbug or rather many bugs/viruses...

started of w aches/fever/chills, den sore throat, den blk nose on right, den itchy throat tt wanna cough at times n realized got a lump at right lymph node. dear n doc say my left lymph node too but i don feel it leh... but den nw blk nose on left tt itch n makin me wanna ah choo... i oso got d left tip of my tongue tt is sore n painful... i don wanna waste my holi/break b4 my work start leh.

anw, ytd in d afternoon, went for a spa w dear. he bought deals fr groupon. den we had dinner at yoshinoya. simple but more than gd enough to celebrate our 2nd yr anniversary. it's d companion tt matters. if not cos he had book d spa, i might not even ask him out cos he once a while will get d aches & in d late mornin/noon when he came over, he's running fever again. but i made sure he no fever n ache b4 we go for d spa la. i rather waste tt $$ den to go out when he's unwell. but generally, both of us r 2 sick piggies now. either he or me got aches/fever or both tgt. plus, i got dizzy spell tt will make me blackout if i got up & walk too quickly.

生病的人像小孩...

guess s one is unwell, it's d time in need of d love one beside. n suay suay... when i down on 1st nite w fever, dear's friend who is getting married d followin day wanna meet all d bros & dear is 1 of them. & so thr he goes... cos my parents would paranoid, i usually would try not to tell them till i really buay tahan... n tt day aft dear left, n parents were still not hm, n my temp climb, i suddenly felt so pitiful. cos they all fever, i will try to take note of med time, get d ling yang drink, etc. yet, when it's my turn, no one is ard. i felt so ke lian but i still don wanna tell my parents even when they back. anw, when they back, my fever dropped le cos i took panadol earlier.

den ytd, aft comin back fr med cx up, lab, meet friend, x-ray, felt really shag tt i simply jus slp w/o showerin/changing till my alarm wake me up. felt quite bad again so took temp n true enough, slight fever again. n throat become v itchy aft tt. initially wonder if d temp cos of d jab i took but cough??? i don think so. plus, days ago, i oso fever. so i conclude tt it's myself n not d jab. cos it's jus slight fever, i refused to take panadol this time. cos i felt i took too much panadol le. always finish up & went to buy. though within or even less than max daily dose, i dont like to keep takin med. n luckily my temp went down towards d end of day till jus nw. dear got ask last nite when my parents not back. he ask if i wanna c doc but tt time, temp got hint of droppin so i push away d idea cos tt time, he just finish work & he jus reach home. if i wan, tt mean he had to come over n pick me cos my side d doc surely no more space.

jus nw, in afternoon, i still feel shag but napped only a short while before going out. went to find d shower hose cos d one in d common bath broke n i sometimes used tt bathroom while dear always use thr when he come over. so, decided to buy & fixed it rather than waiting for dad since it's small case for me. when i back, i still ok. but awhile later, my feet started to ache n i noe d ache is not a gd sign. took temp & it's 37.6 deg. it seemed to get higher than last 2 times at least. den i felt cold. covered in my furry leopard print blanket. at tt time, d ache, d cold make me felt like a kid, wanting d closest person beside for comfort. but dear went back home. ytd he said he might be going out n by right he wont end work early. so even if he didn't meet his friend, based on his work timing, we oso wont meet. but knowing tt he's home already, made me felt more like a kid crying for d comfort. ya. i did cry actually. den seeing him in fb, tot can chat w him thr a while. at least get to chat will feel less bad ma. but den thr is no reply.

actually tt time think he's prep to go out but i didn't noe n waited like a 傻瓜. so i ended up 发脾气 on him when he sms me later on. think back, it's really like wat he comment last time, when 1 is sick, he/she become like a kid making stupid fuss... esp it's like to me, i jus wan attention n comfort. i oso wanna feel pampered n b taken care of but not over kanchiong-ness like fr my parents. but i cant get wat i felt tt it's a simple task/movement/gesture/attention, so i jus explode. i really don like it to fall sick esp when he's not ard n esp worse if not cos of serious reason like work but rather to meet friends. i guess mayb it's d time when i wan d full attention, if not it felt s if his friends is more impt. so childish right? now, can only hope like last few days, my temp will drop ba. cos it's been almost 2 hr since it crept up... i don wanna b so silly again leh...
