Consumer Right!?

Just want to find out from the readers… how many of you will get real pissed off when the merchant tell you that, hey we only receive credit card if the payment is above RM40 or RM50? What if at that point in time you only have RM30 or even less than that?? Or, you have the money but the money is meant for other purposes???

Would you spend the money and purchase what you needed or you will just walk away??

I encountered this when over the past weekends, and I was honestly really pissed. This though isn’t my first encounter, however, we have voiced out many times that this should be the merchant to voice out to the bank and not taking us the consumer for the ride. It shouldn’t be charging the consumer. Some merchant will impose a 2.5% if you use the credit card for payment. For example, buying hand phone, TV, camera, etc.

In fact, a few of these merchants could be easily remembered when they tell me such rules…

1. Sakae Sushi in Gurney Plaza;

2. Home’s Harmony in Gurney Plaza;  

3. Xuan Xin Restaurant in Gurney Plaza and many others

I would wish all the consumers out there and stand up and tell these merchants, we do have our own CONSUMER RIGHTS!! AND DO NOT TAKE US FOR  GRANTED!!

Xenophobia

Xenophobia is something that one may find it seriously percept in one person’s mind. And one institute into his mind and he has the intention to inculcate into others and encourage it, that will create the entire havoc in that community.

A xenophobia if inculcated, that not only created the havoc in the community, is also proliferating others into that as well. How will you eat yours? Newer generation has a different thinking in terms of foreigners living into their country, but one do not have an open heart and mind to accept these immigrants, xenophobia will be propagated.

Having an open heart and mind would definitely reduces the hatred and xenophobia in a person. That’s how we eat ours. Do you?

Day Dream

Lately apart from surfing food, blog hoping, I guess I am into interior deco… what I don’t look forward for things like paying huge installment, or clearing debts. How I wish I could strike a lottery wining a free house of my own.

I know I am too early to dream about it, cuz, it’s only 12noon right now.

Well, let’s put this straight, apart from the kitchen, I wasn’t looking forward for anything… perhaps, kitchen is some where I belong. A place where I could explore how to grill a bird, a fish, or anything… a place where I can experiment in making some desserts, etc.

I love to have an island in my kitchen… probably I’ve seen too much of movies or drama, or even Asian Food Channel from Astro that most of the kitchen will have an island to prepare their food.

Apart from the kitchen, island… cook book is something that I wish to compile right now, where I could build up my little library. Well, say it I got the inspiration from my pal – Little Inbox. When I see her preparing her food and photo her food that honestly inspires me a lot.

Hmmmm… am day dreaming, don’t I?

Search

Gee… I have not been writing… don’t I?

The same old excuse is I’ve been busy. Well, part of it. Second reason is because I don’t know what to write, mostly sad news, anger, upset, devastating news… nothing happy. Now that I realize, I am taking this as a dumping ground for me to dump my anger, my frustrations down here.

I’ve not been happy, ya… it’s about work.
And I’ve been facing lots of obstacles in life. Things that I know I have to face eventually and I have t deal with it.

It keeps bugging me that things are not been fair to me… seriously. The work and the responsibilities that am carrying right now, which is not giving the pay back as you wish.

That’s why to certain time, I am telling myself, it’s time to make a move!!

Well, am searching!!! I am searching!!

Decision making

Lately I am not as cheerful as before, there are many things in my mind that running real wild.

Now that it’s depending on me how do I look at it, it’s either leave it or take it. And move on with it.

But it’s always easy say than done. It’s all bounce back to me for decision making. Whether it’s on monetary or others. It’s not that just making that decision… in life there are many things for us to judge, to manage and to decide. And this is the moment that I have to really think hard about it.

He finally found his rested home. RIP Mic!

I wish to turn back the clock

These days the sky is so gloomy and it rains almost everyday, does it really affects a person’s mood and thoughts?

I believe it does… it’s affecting me badly.

I have liked gloomy weather, raining days all the time, well, not that I am weird or what. It’s because such weather, you don’t have those hot and sweaty and stinky smell on you. And raining days its cooler and it like a free air-cond at home where you could bake your favourite cakes or cookies in the kitchen.

Then why it changed from good to bad? There are many things affecting me, whether at work or on family and personal. It didn’t just come and go, but it’s rather dragging and it’s slowly killing your mind, your strength.

I know if I do not take things lightly and manage it well, I will eventually end up in visiting psychiatrist. The matter of fact, I know I have lots of family issues neither disturbing me which I know I can’t let it out from my chest, nor letting it go.

Cuz, the fact is, I am belonging to this family which I can’t leave.

If I have the choice, I wish I do not born to suffer this pain, I wish I can turn back the clock, I wish I can leave everything behind without worrying.

Shock the World

What's the shocking news for this morning?? Both stars fallen on the same day... MJ is everybody well known star, but not many know who Farah Fawcett is, especially the younger generation.

When I turn on my pc this morning, my eyes were wide opened when I saw the headline “King of Pop died at 50”.

I just can’t believe it… cuz, this news came in too sudden to many people, and even radio is playing his songs, to pay for his tribute.

Another sad story is Farah Fawcett, I’ve seen her when I was a small kid, got to know her from her golden hair, in Charlie’s Angels. Especially her love story with Ryan O’Neal… something that not many couple could go thru.

RIP FF & MJ!

A sudden news.... DEATH

On Friday, 12 June 2009, at 5.17pm, while I was busy cleaning my room, my former classmate gave me a call, asked me do I still remember so and so. Of course, I said ya, I know him, and I remember I saw him not long ago.

Then, my classmate broke the news to me, saying that he committed suicide and jumped down from an apartment an hour ago yesterday.

I was shocked, goose bumps all over my arms. I just don’t believe it as I remembered I just met my other classmate not long ago. And never believe this could happen to him.

Worst is, leaving behind 2 kids; the eldest was only 12 years old. How would the family take it? We even as classmate already hard to accept the fact that he jumped down from the apartment.

Until today, at this moment, we do not know what the reason behind for this suicidal case was. Whether as what the news said they are now investigating as sudden death or murder, but I wish the truth will appear and return the family the justice no matter what the case is.

God bless!

Snatch Thief = BxxxxRD!

I curse those that snatched people’s bag die on accidents!!!

How could this thing happen? Especially happened on my mother!! Just 7.15am this morning, 2 Indians riding on their bike driving around, my mom saw that and already slow down her movement and observing how they behave.

What never expect was, they drove passed her, and turn back and open her car door and snatched her pouch! Pouch as in those hanging on the waist. What do you expect a 70 year old woman to react? Scream and grab as hard as possible, right?

Sorry and allow me to call these people BASTARDS!!

If you’re out of job, you don’t need to snatch people’s bag, BASTARDS!!

Will you object?

Many object to making English a ‘must pass’ SPM subject!!

The above title really caught my attention! Would you agree with the above?

I would 101% agree to this idea and this implementation. English is an International Language, and you could see these in International Airport, even Olympic games, SEA Games, etc. When you’re doing an international business, English is required. When you’re in café, bar, bistro, people speak English.

I was very disappointed to see there are many people out there right now does not dare to speak out, especially English. Whether is poor or broken, just have the guts to say it out. No one would laugh at you, no one would condemn you. At least you learn, and if you make mistake from there, you could pick up. Right?

I truly wish this could be the MUST PASS subject for SPM, at least, it gives the nation a better future!

Losing Focus

Lately many companies are under going some kind of restructuring, and that exercise has actually given lots of employees a very negative effective. Employees though stand by the company fight for the bad economy, some how, will the company appreciate what has the employees done for all these years?

I know some companies employees are basically dragging their feet to work, their spirit is like floating somewhere, they just can’t focus on their job.

If this market continues like this… I doubt the people will be able to boost up to the level that they used to be.

What I could just say is stay focus, stay positive… but how long can you stay focus and positive? No one will have such strength to stay on like this.

Do you?

Generation Gap

Generation gap it’s something that nobody would be able to solve.

A couple had bought a new house and plan to renovate before moving in, and yet, what is the difficult part is, the lady owner is currently preggy and will be due in July.

Chinese traditionally believes while you’re conceiving the couple is advisable not to hack, or even spring cleaning. Cuz, they believe some kind of God is protecting the couple and the baby.

But how would many will understand the experience that other people had paid for it? Don’t think nobody would understand unless you’ve been thru.

Each of everything that leads me to ponder of a gap between a mother and a daughter… it could turn out to be harmony on the surface, and it could turn out to be sour in the future.

A word of advice would be … listen, and learn to believe. Probably what the elderly had been thru is a painful experience thus the advices may be find it difficult to accept. Some how there’s never have any scientific proofs to support.

It’s all based on your fate!

Kiddo

Nowadays kids are really cute…

A niece of mine is at the age of 3 now and she’s starting to ask all sort of questions, other than that, she’ll definitely start with ‘why mommy, why?’ or ‘why daddy, why?’.

So happened that yesterday my brother-in-law and my sister passed by an old folks home, and the kiddo was asking her parents what was that building. So her parents answered, that building is for old people to stay. Of course, for a 3 year old kid will not understand what is old folks home, thus, an old people building would be more appropriate.

So, guess what the kiddo said?

“For old people…. For daddy mommy?”

The parents straight away laughed out loud and come to think of it, they both fainted when she said that.

Anyway, today is Friday… though sadness had slightly faded off, I know I have to bury it no matter how… life still go on.

Happy weekend everyone!

Lost

When people tell you treasure every moment with your best pal or your love ones, please do so.

Today whole day I wasn’t in the mood to work… things happened too abruptly, and too shock that nobody could have the mind to get ready what to do next.

And the person that left me is somebody that I am very close to, whether at work, on work or personal. When you’re feeling down at work, you will have somebody to talk to… and she’s the somebody to me.

Am I too emotional over things that had happened? Probably, I don’t know, but I know I am a sentimental person which treasures every sentimental values.

At this hour, at this time,… my mind basically is blank. Though I know life must go on… but can I “grief” for it for the time being?

May 13th

May 13th… another year of May 13th.

I am so exhausted to share out anything, cuz what happened yesterday didn’t leave me where to breath. And I have to tell myself to stay focus, in terms of work and personal.

Whatever it is, what had happened yesterday is consider history, and what had happened on May 13th is also another history.

After one left last year sometime in April and one left yesterday had made me feel so lonely, not to mention the one had left on May 13th.

I know everyone will comment, life still carry on, I gotta look everything aheads of me.

Ya, I do… but don’t have a chance to voice out something?
