It's all about my travel experience and things I love to do…
Rants
Jam, Rain, Jam, Rain
Feb 3rd
It never stops at Rain.
How I wish I can hire a driver to drive me around.
Maybe I should ask my company to provide me one.
It’s so crazy driving everywhere and everyone is back from the long holiday.
Then, towards the evening, it rained. It was not too long after I left the PJ Hilton intersection, it was raining cats and dogs. All cars slowed down and waters started to rise at random side of the roads.
Ish!
It’s gonna be a long long night…
Cold Storage @ KLCC
Jan 19th
Has the lousiest customer service staffs ever!
How can the supervisor not know what are they promoting.
Yes, maybe he is cashier supervisor. But, when I asked for duty manager or store supervisor, I got even more frustrated when I had to wait about 10-15mins and no sign of whoever is the manager/sueprvisor.
Oh wells. Service industry in Malaysia needs to buck up!
I don’t understand why people just don’t get the whole gist of service.
Service is not just working 9-5. Service is the extra mile you go to make your customer happy.
I can rant all day and night about service.
But, let’s keep this post about Cold Storage @ KLCC alright.
So yeah, lousy service is because of lack of training, and lack of training is because of lousy management, and lousy management is because of ignorant managers and ignorant managers is because of ignorant owners too.
It’s a chain and I don’t know which part of the above fits in Cold Storage.
Maybe their daytime shift people are a lot more alert and energetic. Hmmm…
Strength From God
Jan 13th
While driving to work this morning, I saw a sign hanging in the car of a Kelisa in front of me.’
It says:
“Dear GOD, please give me STRENGTH to face all the IDIOTS in my daily life.”
If you ever see that statement thingy, please buy it for me and I pay you back!
I had a slip of my mind what that thingy is called but yeah.
I should start asking GOD for this STRENGTH every day now.
Like. Seriously…
The Timing is Just RIGHT…
Dec 28th
Just when I wanted to go over to KY’s Christmas eve party, I’ve got a call…
Just when I wanted to sleep late for Saturday, I’ve got to go KL Sentral…
Just when I wanted my Sunday off and do something constructive, I’ve got SMS…
Just when I wanted to start helping with the nephew’s 1st Birthday, I’ve got call…
What a co-incidence… Looks like it’s not only Santa is not granting my wish.
But many others are not! Hmmm…
Oh, funny thing was, I went to office today and when I left my office about noon-ish, my office neighbour came out and we both said this to each other:
“Oi! Sunday lah…!!!“
Hahahahahaha…
We chated a lil bit and shared how is things like when you don’t have anyone to back you up in the office. His case was even sadder. All his office staff got asked to leave due to his bosses disagreements and what not, so left him alone.
I guess, afterall we both share the same common sad working story…
Before we parted, he said this to me:
“Tomorrow, make sure you don’t come yea. It’s public holiday!”
and we both laughed…
…
Nope! Tomorrow will be a chilaxin day. Maybe another ‘date‘ to look forward to.
Flashback! Trap in a Lift
Dec 2nd
Not too long ago. There was an emergency case that I need to handle.
Once case is done, I took a short nap in the office.
Woke up, and the time is way past 3am. Wow! My office is like my 3rd home now.
Saw the time and I quickly pack my things and run home and sleep.
When I enter the elevator, the door is closing quite slow compared to previous times.
I smell something fishy but don’t care. The lift door is always fishy…
I went in and next thing I know… the lift stops. STOP! BERHENTI! THENG!!
Walao!! I was nearly gonna pee in my pants… Lucky the light and fan is still on.
Else I will be screaming and people all over KL will hear me…
Okay.. maybe not that bad.
But the lift stop. So what do I do? Relax… I said. It might be just some small glitch. It will come back on very soon and we will reach the Ground floor.
NO! It just stops there. I hit the emergency button…
I waited about 10 minutes… No Reply! I don’t know how it works, but I keep shouting “HELLO! HELLO” over near to the speaker area and suddenly one voice came. It was the security!
Security: Hello?
Tom: Hello. The lift is not moving.
Security: Hello?
Tom: -_- THE LIFT IS NOT MOVING! CAN YOU PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO COME!!!
Security: Hello? Kenapa?
Tom: DO YOU EVEN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? DATANG BUKA PINTU! LIFT TAK GERAK!
*no reply for about 3 minutes*
Tom: HELLO!!??? HELLO!!!???
Security: Ya? Sikijap ya.. Sikijap…
Tom: What sikijap? You ada datang ke tak? Sudah lama I tunggu..!!
Security: You mana?
Tom: Saya ada kat lift lah! Tingkat Tiga Belas!! Tingkat Tiga Belas!!
Security: Sikijap ya.. Sikijap ya…
*no reply for 5 minutes*
Tom: HELLO!!?? YOU BERAPA LAMA LAGI MAU TUNGGU!!???
Security: Sikijap ya boss… Sikijap ya…
Tom: -_- (am already raging from the non responsive reply except “sikijap ya”)
*waited for another 10 minutes*
Security: Hello! You what floor?
Tom: (whoa! speaking already). I AM AT THIRTEEN FLOOR! THIRTEEN FLOOR!
Security: Ok. Sikijap ya boss!! Sikijap ya…
Tom: OI! HALLO! YOU KASI RESPONSE BAIK BAIK LAH. APA SIKIJAP SIKIJAP!!???
Security: Orang datang skrang. Buka Pintu.
Tom: *sigh….*
*waited another 5 minutes and then, suddenly door opening sound*
Security: Hello? Mana you?
Tom: (OMG! Cha Dou Can Die Dot Com Dot My!!) Tingkat Tiga Belas.
Security: Oh. You kat atas. You tunggu! Aku naik satu tingkat lagi. (They went to 12th floor, when I said 13th floor many times)
Tom: OK!
Security: You tunggu ya. I tengah buka nih. *door opens* Alamak! You tunggu dalam. Jangan keluar lagi. Bahaya nih.
It seems to them that it was dangerous to climb out. The lift went down about 2 feet away from alignment with the outside door. One of the guy was a Malaysian and another was some Bangladeshi. Now I know why the “Lost in Translation”…
The opening is very big for me to get out. But then, the danger is there. I was afraid too. But, I have to get our no matter what. So both of them held my hands and we counted…
1, 2, 3
I jumped climb up and out of the elevator. *Phew* Suddenly, there was a flashback of those Holywood Movies where people have to be rescued from the elevator by fireman. I felt like a star for a short moment.
NOW, I am quite scared to take like old old elevators already man…
Eventhough my ordeal was like 30 minutes or so, still, it was kinda scary tho…
But one thing… DON’T PANIC! Stay Calm… Which I didn’t. I was just frustrated with lousy security communication which don’t help soothe a person who is trap. But gives you trauma as in, “OMG, this fella don’t know nuts! He don’t speak English summore. Not even a 5 word sentence BM!”
Now, that is an experience…
Super! Super! SUPER!

The Enigma
Nov 13th
What was the “enigma” from my previous post?
It sure has spark a lot of questions and I’ve been getting like MSN messages, GTalk and SMS. WOW is all I can say.It sure has sparked a lot of curiosity huh?
All of them are asking me in the same similar question tone “Who’s that lucky girl?”
hahaha, the day the lucky girl to come by is a day I myself couldn’t justify.
That “she” is a woman
and
That “she” is my mom!
Now, back to your work!
Speaking of work. Sigh. I don’t know la. I can seriously kill myself already. For 3 days, I don’t even have time to go online to kill my time on blog reading, web surfing, chatting and so on. I’m just trying something new here. Discipline at work, crash when done. -_-
I find this new “job scope” is killing me already. Now, I have to take care of other people’s rubbish. Gah! It’s time and time that I educated them on how to get the job done, and it seems that it is going into deaf ear.
I’m adapting! I’m adapting! I’m adapting!
Pre-Holiday Rush!!
Sep 30th
Hari Raya is tommorrow. Everyone is rushing to run away from the city and go back to their lovely “kampung”. The office is on a half-day mode and the Raya celebrating Malaysian has gone back to their hometown. Leaving the office in a complete chaos. Let’s just hope the Puasa month mode is a history after raya. Because, there are so many things that can’t be acomplished due to that. Many are actually exploiting the reason of Puasa for not getting things done. Don’t know why. No further probing needed.
Its 5.30pm now, and the phone still kept on ringing. Non-stop I tell you. I even told some of my clients to “GO HOME!!!” hahaha… Come on, its holiday, everyone needs a break. So go home and take a break.
See, all my customers also offline already!! Agents also nearly all offline too!
This Hari Raya, I’ve got no plans to have any break or whatsoever big outing. No big vacation, to another state or whatsoever even. Mom “booked” me on Thursday so that we can go somewhere and Jalan-Jalan. How irony it is that my mom needs to book my time. Sigh… Let’s hope this doesn’t happen with the future partner of mine.. hahaha…
I can’t even take a break from work this Raya… Sigh…
And I just received a SMS from a buddy who kept on asking when I’m free. Do I smell something dodgy. Maybe I am…
NADIA HO!!! I promised pictures, still not yet upload! Sowweee… 
I’m foreseeing that there will be more than 5 new albums in Facebook over the week after months of no updates in Facebook. Already I have 15 friends on pending approval and I’m just lazy to add. Because I want to have the time to read their profiles and see their pictures too. Not just add and okay, I’m done. No.
So its Bunny House tonight at Cineleisure Damansara…
What a good way to end the month… 
P1 WiMAX! Apa Free Trial! PFFT!!!
Aug 13th
I once talked about the P1 WiMAX Free Trial I encountered while I was buying lunch one day at Wisma Cosway.
The can have the cheek to throw a road-show at Wisma Cosway to pull in people to sign up. Then, that agent of P1 said that we will be called within one to two weeks upon signing up.
NOW IT HAS ALREADY BEEN MORE THAN TWO WEEKS! KNNCCB!
No Call Yet! KNNCCB X2
Should I blame P1 or the agent?
That agent is very lucky I forget their company name and misplaced that contact number of the company. Else I will call in and shout at them already! Gah!
Summore, their official website has testimonials to be read. Come I post it here for you to read. Boycott their website, read the P1 testimonials here at YapThomas.Com -_-
Testis Number 1
Testis Number 2
Testis Number 3
Testis Number 4
There you go! Four (4) testimonials on their trial of WiMAX!..
I have been following WiMAX on their development and they didn’t even give me free trial. Lagi, my office so near KLCC. Bahgero betul…
Oh wells… like my friend would say “How I knoww…. maybe you U-G-L-Y????”
Oh wells…
Anyone got the trial already? Care to share with me?
I so want to get my hands on it LIKE NOW!!!!!!!!! gah….
Mundane Weekend…
Jul 27th
It is the usual weekend again, after a long week of working.
It has been long dreaded night every day since Monday and I decided that Friday should be my nite out to relax and chill out with friends I’ve not met for quite some time now and also to catch up. Well, its more of a chilaxin night out lah.
Jun! if you are reading this, I’m sorry to hear what happened. Hope Neo comes out from the hospital real soon eh?
So, its friday night and it was also Sunrise Jazz Festival. Nigel msn-ed few days ago about it and called out the whole gang to chill out..
Sigh, this brings back memories of when Sunrise Jazz Festival started way long ago and we all in a big group would travel to Mon’t Kiara from Klang and chill out..
When was that? Prolly its about 6 years ago if I am not mistaken..
The promoter girl joke of “you want this.. or this?” and the bucket of beers on the table, and with Ben going up on stage doing the blindfolded dance! Memories.. memories…
I shall touch on that Sunrise Jazz Festival experience soon.. I promise! SOON!
So, after Mon’t Kiara, I head back to Sunway and off I go to Zouk with Big John! Now, Jon is back from Kuching and he needs to party real bad! haha
The occassion of the night is Ben Hall’s short trip back to KL and also, I need to get out of the work zone and party like crazy doink! -_- more likely that I needed to drink lah.. 
That night, basically took my whole Saturday morning, rolling around my bed.. haha
Mom wants to go out so, its family weekend again. Steamboat dinner with Mom and also to visit Aunty Joyce’s husband who is in a very sad-state because he fell and left his body half-paralyze. I was in tears in my heart seeing how helpless he is and Aunty Joyce has to help move him around the house. I am scared to think what is it like to be in their state when I am old. Come on, they are way off their retirement age and this happens, while no one else is in the house and Aunty Joyce have to help her husband to move around and sometimes, they are so helpless that her husband has to be push to the door to help himself up!
Sigh…
Sunday, today, now, is more like stay in the house kinda day. What more can I do? I’ve done part of my work report and watched a movie, The Warlords. I gave up on my home internet, slow-like-donkey-myx, because I can’t even do much online. I’m thinking of going to Starbucks and chill out for the day later on.
I need to go wash my car already! Been weeks and the rain doesn’t help much in keeping my car constant clean!
Came online also, all I can do is chat. How I wish the chat is what it used to be? Then again, Sunday, everyone is bored at home and they are either busy or away or AFK so I shall just leave them alone.
I shall go play with Kayzar then, he definitely will layan me wan!
Every week see him one time… He also another manja one lah…
Hope your weekend is better than mine…
