The kind of service we have nowadays. It's not our fault if we get all grouchy behind that chicken rice counter in the food court.
You see, the term "customer" comes from a Latin word which means king of all. Also, it was derived from a Greek word that translates the paying king. Which reminds me, it is somewhat similar to a Sanskrit word "kustumer" that means king of the tribe.
So as a king, shouldn't we like get some service that we deserve? Shouldn't we be treated with some twist of decency?
Aright, I'm just shitting you. It's not derived from any foreign terms.
But, I'm like totally serious about the service part. We should be treated more decently. After all, we are paying customers. It's like you buying a car and expecting it to run; not expecting it to start a row with you. Same case. You pay to be served; not pay to be treated like some jackass.
Anyhow, we are all humans. We are not perfect.
So the next time, be nice to the McDonald guy if you want to be treated nicely and prevent yourself from ending up with cheese burger shoved up your nose.

Customer
Saturday, December 12, 2009
Attitude pretty much reflects how much of a wuss a person could turn out to be. Put yourself in this chap's pair of shoes.
Shall we let A be the customer service officer and B to be the ruthless barbarian.
A: Good afternoon sir, thank you for calling Slow Like Cow Net, how may I help you?
B: F*** YOU!!!!!
B: But what ***** ****** ********* ***** ****?!!!!! I can't bloody use the ******* ******* ******* *** ***** Internet for 2 hours!!! 2 F******* HOURS!!!!
A: We are already working on it sir. Service should be resumed by the next half an hour.
Disclaimer: This is a true incident.
Well, they always say customers are never wrong, but how right are they? They are still human beings like you and me. Who died and make them king? Is it just because they pay that little penny or two?
Unfortunately, that LITTLE PENNY OR TWO does make a heck lot of difference. It DOES makes a person the king.
Cruel and cold. That is the consumer world we are living in today. This should not happen!
How often we say "thank you" to the Mamak guy who served us our roti-canai? All we say is "Dey! Mana kuah dan kari saya la?? Cepat dah!!!"
How often we say "excuse me" when we are calling for a waiter? All we do is yelp "ANEH!" "DEY!" "HELLO HELLO!!!" or make indecent cat-calls.
How often we speak politely to the waiter or manager if our food have problems? All we do is rage and curse out "****** ***** ****** ******** **** this food taste like shit! I wanna complain!"
How often we apologise to the salesgirl in the shoe store or clothes department when we try everything but bought NONE? All we do is give that snobbish look and say "don't have my size", then walk of with your butt swinging.
How often we do that? How often we respect that person who serve us? How often do we treat them like a human being?
Money is not everything. Respect IS everything.
All in all, there are however groups of morons who service people don't deserve any respect. Lousy service and lousy attitude. That shall be my next topic. Stay tuned.

Chemistry
Wednesday, December 9, 2009
I shall declare nullity against IUPAC and any related Chemistry field. Chemistry kills. Don't study Chemistry and drive.
17 marks down the drain. Sod it. A whole experiment wrongly plotted. Never trust tuition centre's "PREDICTED QUESTIONS". They are only capable of throwing cock and bull at you. But not potential accurate questions.
I'm a disgrace to all chemistry professionals. Sorry Mr. Peraga, I've let you down. I've ruined your dream of having a full class of A+. I need to shoot myself.
Wonder what is like when I step in MBS and redeem my results slip. Can't imagine.
Still have a paper pending. Chinese language. By all mode, I must get an A for that paper. So I'm gonna work doubly, triply, quadruply hard for that shit. Seriously, Chinese is always getting up my nerves. Never got an A in Chinese for any public examinations.
UPSR - 6A1B. Which subject caused this hideous image? Chinese composition.
PMR- 7A1B. Strike 2. Chinese.
Therefore,
Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A. Must get an A.

3.30
Sunday, December 6, 2009
I feel like shit at 3.30a.m. I hate 3.30.
As if life isn't depressing enough when you have tonnes of Chemistry crap that have to be chewed up, you're favourite Blues just got kicked up the you-know-where by some ridiculous Arabian toys.
Yes yes, I'm talking about the Manchester City-Chelsea game. Rotten bunch of overpaid hireling mercenaries. You bunch of Nitwits just have to spoil everything up don't you?
As hard it is for me to say, but I have to bow down to the horrendous truth - Chelsea was beaten. A pretty awesome own goal by Adebayor kept the Blues in control for the first quartile of the upper half. Then the son-of-a-bulldog came around and shot pass Cech, putting the Sky Blues on term.
Tevez pumped up at the second half to give Chelsea the deathblow - a direct free kick.
If it was any other 'ordinary' defeat, I wouldn't feel so bad.
BUT, it was a dirty win!
You see, Adebayor's first goal came after Richards handled the ball drove in by Wright-Phillips. It was a Devil-damned handball! But did the referee blew for a free-kick? NOOOOOOOOO! He let play go on and resulting in the sulking Togo striker to shoot past Chelsea's net.
Case 2, Tevez.
Carvalho tried to clear the ball but Tevez came smashing his own butt into Carvalho's boots. He was innocent! All he did was rising his leg up! Good-for-nothing Tevez just had to crash himself onto the Chelsea centre-back. The referee just tyrannically flashed a yellow card at Carvalho and awarded the free-kick. Was there justice? NOOOOOOOOOOO!
And Tevez just had to score. Argentinians. Amateur.
Case 4,5,6,7,8,9....Gazilion.
Chelsea received countless yellow cards. All of the Chelsea's defender and substitute got booked. 7 or 8 cards, too pissed off to remember figures. And Man City received only ONE! Were they abiding the rules so perfectly that they don't deserve more than one booking? NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm dead sure Sheikh's been shoving a big sum of cash up the ref's butt. I hope he falls in the drain today. The Sheikh or the referee, doesn't matter.
Anyhow, Lampsy could have brought Chelsea back on terms via a late penalty. But did he succeed?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I hate 3.30.

Silly Patient Me
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
Wonder why everyone is so hyped just because SPM is coming to an end? Come on, SPM may be ending, but the world isn't, we still have tonnes of shit to face.
All right, a little layout on how life is going to be after SPM. Oh ya, and the oncoming shit.
- Pre-U.
College, Form 6 etc. SPM syllabus is bad enough, can't imagine what am I going to face in college. Just when I'm already getting the hang of Biology and Chemistry, I have to start all over again on some dodo-bird subjects. Hell. - Pre-U Final Exam
Be it STPM, A-Levels or anything, I'm dead one million percent sure it is much more tormenting than SPM. Tensions will be rising faster than the global temperature. Leisure will be falling faster than the stock market. Double hell. - University
Just when we are about to get some decent rest from schooling and exams and hitting on chicks, it's Degree time! Time to wipe our ass and face more shit. This is when hard work is directly proportional to our future paycheck. Screw this shit up and I'll continue to lead a piece of shitty life. - University Final Exam
Just another period where you'll feel like travelling back in time to your kindergarten life. Potential drive for suicide if excellence is not achieved. - First Job
Well, you don't expect to start off as a CEO or a CFO or a COOOOO right? Everyone gotta start off somewhere, and that somewhere is all the way below. Lowest pay, lowest title, lousiest benefits, least respect of colleagues for you. On the other hand, you'll have the MOST job to do, LONGEST working hour and the BIGGEST victim of office politics. - First Pay
Yeah cool, so you've got your first pay huh? Have you forgotten about how low it is and how much you need to fork out? Rental, car installment, petrol, food, utilities, income tax, monthly mamak expenses, allowance for your mother, girlfriend's monthly gift, unemployed-and-too-lazy-to-find-a-job sibling's monthly allowance etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. In the end, bankbook only registers a RM0.59 saving every month. - Getting Married
As if getting married is something free of charge. - Children
This is the biggest headache. First, it cost a bomb to courier your wife to the hospital for labour. Then, diapers, milk powder, clothes, shampoo, body lotion and all sort of rots. You wished all these expenses could be claimed under 'Miscellaneous' column of your company's account. - Children's Education
Ini headache lagi besar. In twenty years time, education would be so costly that I have to live on cucumbers on a daily basis for God-knows-how-long just so I can provide my kids with education so that they can lead the shitty life with abundant and redundant exams, just like what their father once went through. - Retirement
Life's finally slowing down to a reasonable pace? Dream on. I have to go on worrying about my three meals (unless I continue my cucumber diet) because I haven't saved enough when I was young. No wait, I don't even have the opportunity to do so.
In the end, I'll die a hungry death. Or maybe a malnutrition-ed death. Which is the worst way to die. Even having a revolver shooting at my penis and letting me bleed to death isn't as bad as dying a hungry man.
So SPM coming to an end means suffering is following suit? Yeah right.
