You call that SERVICE??

**Warning! Ranting SP ahead!**

You must be wondering what am i doing on a Friday afternoon writing post after post. Well, i'm waiting for the bloody people to install my new modem today. You see, i had recontracted my broadband service recently and they are supposed to come this afternoon to install the new modem. Or so i thought! As Singnet tries to cut cost by giving no confirmation calls, i have to take their word that they ARE going to come today. But as the clock ticks, i am getting frustrated at having to waste my previous leave waiting! Imagine no calls no nothing and i am just plain WAITING! ARGH! so i finally decided to check with the service hotline. OMG! i found out that actually they are just DELIVERING my modem and not installing it as i thought all along! And i wasted 10-15 minutes of my life arguing with the &^%$# customer service officer who insisted that i did not click on the option for installation. i repeat, THERE IS NO SUCH OPTION AT ALL when i recontracted! WHAT THE H*CK! Not that i really want the installation, i can jolly well install it myself! But if he had bothered offering to help me check if they could slot in an installation for me, it would have made a difference! That is what i would call Service! Instead, he had the audacity to say that he do not wish to argue with me! Why do they even bother having a service hotline? Everything is just no-nonsense, go-by-the-book, inflexible, no-bending the rules. Just have an automated answering machine will do. i really wasted my time talking to a person who does not even know the difference between registered and normal mail! Singnet service sucks big time! Oops. Correction. What service?! i rather talk to the wall!

The modem finally reached at 1750hrs. 10minutes before the deadline. -_-"

Price = Quality?

My ex-boss treated my soon-to-be ex-colleagues for lunch and we tagged along too. hehe. Went back to Cafe Biz @ Traders Hotel cos the last visit was quite good and there's also a 1-for-1 promo with DBS credit card now. But perhaps cos of the 1-for-1, the sashimi is gone. So it seemed that there is nothing much to eat, though there was a wide spread and the food is quite good too. i guess there is no free promotion in this world! (though i did get another free lunch! :p)

Patchwork & Quilting

Did you know that patchwork and quilting are different?? i didn't know that until i went for my first patchwork & quilting class last night. :) Found out by chance very last minute that there was a class at the cc near my house. So i ran down, made my payment just in time for it! hehe... Anyway, patchwork is sewing pieces of fabrics together to make a bigger piece whereas quilting is sewing a few layers of material together to make a quilt. Typically, you sew the patchwork first. Then combine the patchwork layer with two other layers by quilting to form the finished product (i.e. quilt). Now the quilt can be bedding (typically) or be made into other items as you wished.

We were give a patchwork pattern to sew into something. No prizes for what i'm making it into.... hehe... why, a bag of course! :p

Countdown to Singapore Grand Prix

14 days left to the inaugural night race. Read that some offices in the Marina Bay area are giving their staff the day off on race day! Why isn't my office in the area!? :( Though i do think that it would be nice to bask in the occasion of F1 racing. On the other hand, the thought of squeezing in human traffic "tyres" me out. Anyway the walkabout tickets are sold out and the grandstand tickets are too expensive. So i rather save my $$, stay at home and Zzz... :p

Heaven forbids

Tried to be punctual for jap class for once by driving to school this morning. Alas! The Rochor and Ford Road exits are CLOSED for some cycling event! What the %&^$#! Had to make a detour based on my instincts. And still ended up late again. Haiz...

"Thou shalt not attempt to twart fate!"

With this i declare...

After abusing my vocal cords after abusing it with 4 hours of ktv this afternoon, i'm declaring tomorrow a rest day for my vocal cords. So don't talk to me! :p

After catching the Love Bug mudpie from Big O @ Wheelock, (awfully sinful but nice though i wished there would be more macadamia than almond.), i'm declaring OT tomorrow for my lazy self. MUST go gym to burn the calories out!


shh... before tomorrow comes, i'm sneaking a biscuit cos it seems that the wanton noodles and mudpie has already been digested! or maybe i should just sleep the hunger pangs away...

IVORY by SP

After weeks of cracking my brains, my label is born!! Yay!! \(^^,)/ i have to give some credit to SH and WL for giving me some inspiration for the name.

Showcasing my very first products under the brand new label using my brand new machine, of course. :)

Clockwise (from front): Card holder, drawstring hp pouch (hp not included), zippered hp pouch. i really like how the label turns out!

Photo credits to WL as i had forgotten to bring them to the studio in my haste..

SH: i will give you your royalties next month on your birthday. :p

Dept day (again)

It's my dept day again and we went to the Legends @ Fort Canning Park for high tea followed by a tour.

Verdict: this has to be one of the most boring dept days so far... Go elsewhere for the high tea. And the tour is abit of an anticlimax... maybe i was expecting too much.

Oh but the Cream of Mushroom at Dome @ Park Mall is one of the nicest i've had in recent months. Not too creamy and very mushroomy. This is the highlight of the day. -_-"
