My birthday staycation at Moon Hotel
Thursday, March 15th, 2012
We actually celebrated my actual birthday at Prive with a delicious dinner but for the weekend, the boy had booked a room at Moon Hotel. He was searching for Staycations in Singapore and read that Moon Hotel was suitable for couples. Together with it’s rather affordable price and good location, he chose Moon Hotel.
Why you lidat ah?
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Why you send me press releases ah ….

At least have the decency to check with me if I was interested in the content before bombarding me with numerous of press releases about your yada yada event/item.
*deletes emails*
A case of discrimination or just bad service?
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009Interestingly enough, this happened right after I posted the Are you being served entry.
As some of you guys may know, I had my convocation ceremony on Sunday. On Saturday, I met up with some of my classmates to collect our tickets to the ceremony to be held at Raffles Convention Centre. So.. after collecting our tickets, we decided to get some drinks (for them), snacks (for me) at Mos Burger (Raffles City branch) for a brief catch up.
The girls ordered large drinks while I ordered a croquette to snack on. We were there barely 15 minutes when the manager, Hong Chong came up to us and asked us if we could give up our seats. While I had finished my croquette, the girls hadn’t finished their drinks!
In fact, they had only drank less than half of their drinks! I looked behind and I saw this family of 4 occupying a booth seat and they weren’t consuming ANY Mos Burger products at all! One of the guys was reading newspapers and another was surfing on his laptop. They weren’t asked to leave, or give up their seats at all. There was an empty table at the other end!
Why wasn’t the family asked to give up their seats? My classmates were wondering if it was due to the fact we looked like teenagers with our weekend clothes. It wasn’t as if we were hogging the seats for hours! We were only there for 15 minutes!
I wanted to stomp right to the manager and ask what the heck was going on but he had disappeared, maybe to the kitchen or some other back-end operations. Waited for a while, he didn’t appear and so we left as we all had other commitments lined up.
I don’t know about you but I was extremely disappointed and irked by the service. I doubt even food court “aunties” would ask anyone to leave/give up their seats.
Has anyone had any similar experiences?
Pet peeves #1
Monday, September 28th, 2009One of the WYRs that I asked was about whether would you take a cab or a train/bus when you’re running late was because of one of my pet peeves.
I’m fine with people running late if it’s within the 15 mins grace OR if they’ve informed me in advance. In that way, I could do other things before hand, etc leaving the house later or maybe going to the library or running an errand.
But I absolutely hate it when people do not give advance notice. E.g. If I’m supposed to meet someone at 6.30pm and I only get a message that he/she will be late at the eleventh hour.
Or better still, only when I’ve texted them that I’ve reached, they then reply that they’ll be late. It’s so stupid, if you KNOW you’re gonna be late e.g. meetings, missed the bus, overslept, then bloody hell just give me a message or a call to tell me that!
I know shit happens but at least have the decency to inform me in advance. What’s even worse is that they take their own sweet time traveling down and acting all nonchalant about it. “Oh the bus was late, oh something happened etc.” and how it’s NEVER their fault.
The only time it’s forgivable taking buses or trains is when the meet up point is Orchard or if you’re freaking broke or if its during those peak hours that taking a train/bus would be faster than taking a cab.
If I have to wait more than 45 minutes for someone without any prior notice or proper explanation and if he/she takes his/her own sweet time, then I won’t bother ever meeting up again.
If he/she doesn’t show me any respect/courtesy, why should I show them that? Grr.
I hate chasing for money.
Monday, May 4th, 2009What’s the longest you’ve waited to be paid by a company? The thing I hate the most is the lack of updates.
There is no updates to when we’ll be paid and no news whatsoever despite it being more than a month after our stint.
At least have the decency to tell us ‘oh, your money will be in say late april/may/maybe in 2030′.
So yeah, I’m still waiting to be paid after my stint AND my claims. It has been 45 days and counting.
O$P$!!!!
Zzzzz.
Karma bites the bitch back in her (flat) ass.
Friday, March 6th, 2009I’ve learnt to accept criticisms about myself ever since I started blogging. You can’t make everyone like you and some people just like to nitpick on you.
One horrible comment I once read about myself was on Cozycot was from this user Jenzene who loves to bitch about models and bloggers.
She said: “Nadnut: hypersensitive to the teeniest comment that isn’t glowingly positive; pretty bad at make-up, doesn’t know how to dress to make the most of her stumpy body”. She also left horrible remarks about other bloggers like Fidelis, Jessica and many others.
Part of it is true, I admit. But it doesn’t make it easier reading it. Such comments do hurt you know? I’m only human. I have feelings.
Imagine my surprise when I read Peggy’s blog a few minutes ago. Apparently Jenzene had some of her nude pictures leaked out to GutterUncensored.
It’s nice actually being able to put a face (and a boob, well, if you wanna call that a boob cause it’s rather flat doncha think? maybe let’s call it a boyish chest instead) to her nick finally.
There’s such a thing called Karma. WAHHAHAHAAHA.
If naked pictures of skinny anorexic lookalikes are your cup of tea, then surf right here to see her pics.
KARMA BABY. Serves you right for saying such mean things about everybody. Take a look in the mirror bitch.
Am so loving today, such great news to perk up my day.
p/s: I know this is very bitchy but I think she really deserves it since she “drew first blood”.
