Manifestas

I was browsing some photos from Multiply and it just saddens me to see that Malay/Muslims people are exhibiting their booze and their privates all over the internet. I'm not some preacher nor am I the queen of all moralists. But it's feels so wrong. It's just wrong. If you say I'm not fun, so be it. I like my own fun, where there are no alcohol reek, no accidental outbursts of emotions, no puke, no accidental f*cking around and no accidental conception and no accidental STDs. If you say I'm do not appreciate art, you're wrong. I appreciate the human form. I love looking at the wonders that God has created. But the stuffs that are all over the internet are just porn, not art! I mean, what's up with posing topless with mini-skirts san the undies at Marina? (If you haven't seen it yet, the photo is widely disseminated through e-mails).

And what telah happen to the beauty of marriage? Where two souls finally merge, where two bloods mix? Why do the parents of baby Sh.il.oh. so looked up upon especially after its birth? Where has the beauty gone? The meaning of it all? The purity of the union?

*silence*

For the core of destruction lies in the heart.

(almost) Everybody's FAT!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Eat THAT, suckers!

I've been shopping around for my wedding needs lately and I have just one thing in mind - What's up with the crappy service, man? It's like they're all over!

I went to a furniture shop somewhere in Defu Lane yesterday evening to look for a mattress. Unfortunately for me and Apek, this clueless Ah-Soh served us. She asked what kind of mattress we were looking for. So we showed her the newspaper cutting of the $399 mattress they showcased.

"What size you want?"
"King size."
"King size finish already. You want Queen size?"
*speechless*

Hello, auntie. If I wear XL panties, you don't expect me to wear a size M, right?

"No, we want King size.", Apek said.
"King size finish already. You want this one? $499.", pointing at another mattress.
*calculate budget*
"You try lah. Pocketed spring. $499 only. You want what size?"
"King(!), king(!).."
"King one $499."
"Is the delivery free?", Apek asked.
"Yah, delivery free. So you want what size?"

GAH!!! Macam nak jotos-jotos aje kepala nyonya ni! Nasib baik nasib dia baik.

So in the end we walked out of the shop without aknowledging anyone. The Ah-Soh was very ah-soh lah. She served us in an irritating manner and she kept cleaning her teeth with her tongue making that "i'm-vacuuming-my-teeth-in-betweens" sound. Disgusting!

Aside this Ah-Soh incident, there were two more encounters with *incredible* services. One was an online card/favors company. Made fantastic promises yet disappeared twice when I wanted to confirm my order. They gave an excuse that they were short-handed. Hello? I'm a consumer, and consumers don't care.

Another was this make-up artist. Called her on a Monday to ask whether I could have her service for December.
"Oh, I'll call you to confirm. I need to check my schedule."
Monday through Thursday, no call. So I called her on Friday.
"Oh, I haven't call you, is it?"

Beb, lu suffer concussion kaper?

"I haven't gone to my office to check my schedule. I call you tomorrow, boleh (can)?"

Boleh... Bolehhh boleehhhh... Boleh BLAH!!

Till now, she hasn't called yet. Very unprofessional, both the card company and the make-up artist. I mean, korang tak nak duit ke? Don't want money? Both attitude sum up to one - Janji Melayu.

I seriously think that no matter how small your business is, you should strive to provide a good service for your customers. This, especially, applies to all Malay wedding service providers too. Memanglah, kita mesti sokong perniagaan bangsa kita. Tapi, peniaga-peniaga pun mestilah efficient dan bersikap professional. Barulah bisnes awak boleh maju..

"Eleh, awak takde kedai. Mana awak tau?"

Stop being cynical, makcik.
