Most Embarrassing Moment in 2011

I have the most embarrassing moment in my life a day before christmas

I have to borrow RM2 from a stranger to pay for my car park because we did not have any cash left in our wallet !  

It was totally embarrassing because we were not able to return the money to her because as soon as i had withdrawn the money from the atm, she has gone. Maybe she was afraid that she couldn’t drive out from the parking area after payment is made for the car park if the car is not driven away at a stipulated time.

But we really want to return the RM2 to her! After all, we borrowed it out of emergency. I don’t want people to think that we are trying to cheat the RM2.

If she ever come across this blog, please contact me here so that we can arrange to return the RM2 to you. It’s not a good idea to take the RM2 from you.

Frankly speaking, at the moment, i feel like a beggar. It’s because i am not able to return the money to her. I feel horrid !

Until now, i still feel horrid and embarrassing. How can i return the RM2 her? Is there a way for me to find out?

A lesson to learn. Always communicate properly with your partner. Sometimes, i really hate my partner for not talking clear and cause miscommunication. I thought he still has RM2 in his wallet that’s why said we proceed with the payment after all i still have some small change in my wallet which is enough for our parking fees. Till now, i am still angry at him for this kind of mistake.

From today onwards, i will put a lot of spare coins and change in my wallet to totally avoid this kind of embarrassing moment again!

Hard Rock Hotel Penang

I am back from Hard Rock Hotel Penang and i must say i am quite disappointed with it. It is not as good as it stated and i don’t think the service is that good too.

If i were to rate this hotel, it would say 3/5. The overall design and structure don’t look like 4 stars hotel for me. And the room doesn’t worth the price i paid for. RM450++ per room per night is tad too high with such a small room.

Here are some of the room’s photos.

This is a photo taken from the bathroom. You must be thinking where is the mirror. It is a sliding mirror. If you the mirror away / apart, you can see this man or should i say a rocker?

This is the bed. The size doesn’t look like King size bed but i might be wrong.

This is taken from the lobby. I was testing the canon’s camera miniature effect.

This is taken at the Starz diner’s restaurant.

I am truly disappointed with the Starz Diner buffet dinner. It really doesn’t worth the price. It was too expensive. RM76++ / person. It only has limited no. of food. To me, the food cooked until too hard like the roasted lamb or too salty. It doesn’t look like international buffet to me. It has too little choice. Overall, it looks pathetic. I would only rate it 2/5.

Conclusion, i won’t stay in this hotel again. I would prefer to try out other hotel.

Where is my 2nd book?

I have gotten my first book on Saturday from book depository but until now i have not received my 2nd book. I ordered the book at the same time but the 2nd book was shipped out on the 28 Nov 2011. Today is already 13 Dec 2011 but i have yet to receive it.

Sigh…. how long do i have to wait again? The first book it takes about 14 days. Now is already 15 days for the 2nd book. Counting down now. Hopefully i don’t need to wait until end of this month. Or worst, lost !

Pray pray hopefully i will be able to receive it tomorrow. The postman is lazy today. Didn’t come at all today !

Way to go, Jusco

Finally i saw baby snacks in Jusco supermarket. At last, i don’t need to buy from online store anymore. Though it’s slightly more expensive but at least I don’t need to pay for the postage. Conclusion, i save more.

Hopefully, Jusco can bring in more baby food and snacks like Cold Storage so that we can have more choices.

Lesson Learnt

I have learned a lesson today. Never ever lazy in your business. I should have taken the photos of all the parcels which i send out to my customers before handling them over to the courier office counter.

Yesterday, i have a parcel to be sent using POSLAJU. I had wrapped it up properly and written the address, tel and recipient’s name at the envelope. But, i did not take a photo of this parcel as proof. I thought nothing will happen to the parcel but who knows i have written the tel. no and also the recipient’s name wrongly on the POSLAJU slip! Damn it!

What a silly and stupid mistake. I should have taken a photos of the parcel so that i can compare the address, name and tel. at the parcel with POSLAJU slip.

But i can’t do anything now. It’s already sent out. All i need to do is, i have to give POSLAJU service centre a call tomorrow so that they can take note of it and will not send to the wrong person. Else, i need to resend and lose some money. Bless me GOD…

Swensens is DIRTY !

I really love to go to Swensens because the portion of the food is big and the price is reasonable for a western food restaurant.

So, yesterday i went to Swensens for our lunch before going for our photoshoot ( I will talk about the photoshoot in another blog ).

While waiting for our food, we saw a tiny little cockroach in the cutlery basket. I wanted to ask the waiter / supervisor to have a look but the clever cockroach ran away.

Of course, we dare not use the cutlery so ask the waiter/supervisor to change the cutlery for us. But, i am not sure whether he really did change the cutlery because he took the old one in and the next minute the new one arrive.

So, i am kind of disappointed with Swensens’s cleanliness, I think i will write a letter to Swensens so that they can be more alert and be more aware about their restaurant's cleanliness.

Where is my books?

I bought two books 2 weeks ago from an online store and until now i have not received it. They are using Royal Airmail which i am not able to trace it.

They showed the status shipped on 26 Nov 2011, but today is already 8 Dec 2011, yet i don’t receive it yet. I bought the book for my little rascal. I know she is going to love it.

Hopefully it will be here by next week. I wish to bring the books along for our first trip.

I never know Royal Airmail will be that slow. I still remember when i bought a box of raspberry tea, it took about 1 week plus to reach. Yet, now it’s already 2 weeks but i am still not able to receive my books. Hopefully it’s not lost…

I have bought so many things online

Recently i have bought so many things online and all of them are from overseas. They are mainly from UK, US and China.

But none of them has arrived. I bought 2 books from UK and they were shipped out on the 26 and 28 Nov respectively but i have not receive them though it’s already 5 Dec. Hopefully it will reach by next week. I won’t be around to wait for any parcel on the 16-19 Dec. Argh…

Then i bought Baby’s food again from iHerb ( disc code UME339 ) last week and hopefully i will be able to get it after i return from my trip.

Then i bought some things from Ebay UK yesterday and i also hope that it will arrive after i am back from my trip.

And one more parcel from china. Hopefully i am able to receive it within this week / next week.

I think shipping is very slow in Malaysia. Some time it takes weeks and some time it takes months. Argh…

I just pray hard that my orders will not lose during delivery because all these are my precious orders especially the baby food, books and also product from china.
