Please lar Streamyx, RIP!!! No one will miss you!

I woke up in confusion this morning because some morons disrupt my sleep 8++ in the morning. The first thing I saw when I opened my front door is the TM's van. Then realization hit me : Uh.. so there wasn't any prob with the port?

You see, last night I couldn't browse at all. I was connected but cannot browse. My modemn was fine but browser showed Loading loading loading... Tried for several hours still cannot load, then eventually I called 100 to complain. The lady in charge checked things for me and then confirmed that my port was down. I suspected it was the port because I checked with my friends who live within the vicinity and they do not have browsing problem. Ok. Port prob verified. Here's what ensued from the conversation with the TM's customer service 'officer' :-

Me: So it's a port prob?
TM: Yes. Your port is down. That's why you cannot surf.
Me: When can they fix it?
TM: I'll send technicians over tomorrow to check. It's too late now, cannot check.
Me: Check port ka?
TM: Yeah. Port.
Me: Where's the port?
TM: Kuching.
Me: Kuching where?
TM: ...
Me: Where's THE port?
TM: Erm..

(By this time, I was so irked, I understand how 'ignorant' people can be, so I kindly supplied an EXAMPLE)

Me: My house??
TM: No no no. Not your house.
Me: This port prob, is it my prob or TM's prob?
TM: TM's prob. Port is inside the server. Server is TM's, so it's TM prob.
Me: How long would it take?
TM: ...
Me: When can I use my internet???
TM: Cannot say.
Me: ... !@%#@%%&%#%$#@%!!!!!!!
TM: Anything else?
Me: Please fix it, otherwise I potong line lar. Tulan!

You'd think that's the end of the story right? Nope. The technician came, without calling, no appointments, no manner, acting as if I owed them a lifetime of debt. They were on their way into my house when I stopped them and asked them:-

Me: You checked the port already?
TM technician: What port?
Me: What are you here for?
TM technician: Check your stuffs.
Me: The lady last nite told me she'll send you guys to check the port. Have you checked the port?
TM technician: Check your house first then we go check port lar.
Me: I cannot let you in.
TM technician: Then we go lar.

Aiyah... go lar go lar. Ma cheebye. Come uninvited still wanna act macho and heroic. Bo-kah-see some more. Ptui!!!!!

I called 100 again and this time, the lady in charge (damn sombong some more) insisted that their technicians are the best when I complained about their competencies in their jobs. She couldn't answer me when I asked her why were they at my house and not checking the port at their server. She couldn't answer me regarding the procedures in these matter. She couldn't answer me anything. And she had the nerve to ask me what else I want. I want you damn assholes at TM to do your fucking job!

I tried browsing after that and luckily I could browse. Went to streamyx website, read on their troubleshooting shits, customer services shits and Fair Usage Policy shits. When I tried to summit a complaint, the site won't budge. So I e-mailed them the following. Guess what. I did not get a reply from them and my line works beautifully throughout the day without interruptions whatsoever. Kanneh Streamyx. You really enjoy being tiaw huh????

PORT problem (URGENT)

I went here http://www.tm.com.my/contact/forms/complaint.asp
just now and filled in the form and found that I cannot summit it. Can you tell me why I cannot summit it??? So I resorted to e-mail.

Complaints :

I've been having problem browsing internet for several months and lately, it was so ridiculous I cannot stand it anymore. I checked your troubleshooting site and found that I have no problem with faulty telephone lines (my line is good), wrong hardware set up (my hardware is set up properly cause it can definitely browse), modemn (cause I'm not having connection prob, my prob is I cannot browse!!), OS network configuring system (my Primary DNS: 202.188.0.133 and Secondary DNS: 202.188.1.5 which are both correct), antivirus/anti-spyware/anti-adware software from time to time (my antivirus & anti-spyware are up to date), incorrect browser configuration (no proxy setting and no default dialler), invalid login id or password (my id and password are working just fine).

It took me ages (few mins to few hours) just to load a page at times. I cannot check e-mails too or login to facebook.

I suspect the prob is a port prob so I called 100 last nite to check and the lady verified that the port at TM's server was down. I asked her why is it down she said dunno. I asked whether that is prob at MY side or SERVER side she said Server. Said she'll send technicians to check on the port the next morning.

Since it is obviously the port prob, then your technician should work on the port at your server. But no, they came early this morning, without calling whatsoever and demanded to check my house system. When I asked whether they have checked the port, they said they wanna check my house FIRST before checking the port. Since it was confirmed through your system checking at 100 last nite that your port was down, why don't you go check on your port first? Is TM trying to be funny in providing its services? Or are your technicians trying to be funny? I refused them entrance into my house because I do not trust them.

I am very disappointed with the way TM handles this. You do not solve problem but instead beat around the bush and try to do it the long winding difficult ways that inconvenienced the customers.

What Fair Usage Policy? I can't browse at all most of the times. Let alone download things.

Please bear in mind I'm not having connection prob. I AM CONNECTED. I just cannot load pages. CANNOT BROWSE. Just blanks. Sometimes can browse (half an hour or 1 to 2 hours, then cannot load at all. If I get lucky, I can browse, but VERY VERY VERY SLOW. SLOWER than dial-up connection!). Don't try to be funny with me : I know you can check everything from your server so go and do your work. I've checked everything so why don't you do your share. Go check your port please. Fix it. I'm paying every month to browse. I do not pay NOT TO browse. Get it? If you cannot solve this, forget it. I'll close account. End of story!

p/s : Your customer service at 100 was lousy. You think keeping quiet can solve prob? That your prob will disappear into thin air? And she insisted that the technicians are the best. If best then why give funny story? She just said need to check check check. By the time you finish checking when would that be? Months???? They don't know why the port is down and they wanna check my end? They cannot tell me why the port is down but they are the best technicians? What a great service. You have something funnier to tell me?? I can't wait. Enlighten me. I wanna see your reply.

Thank you.

Very Irritated Customer

Are they morons or what?

I took some time off to accompany my mum to the bank today. We went to MayBank, since it's the nearest bank to our house. I've been wanting to open a savings account for my mum since AGES ago. Among the reasons are:-

• my dad has MayBank account
• my sisters have MayBank accounts
• I have MayBank account
• easier transactions (especially when my dad and I are travelling)
• it's a pain in the ass giving money to mum. Just bank it in, then she can't protest anymore, can she?
• to save money lor. What the heck. It's for saving purposes, right?

Guess what? The ah moi in charge of opening the savings account for my mum asked us several irrelevant, unbelievably stupid questions:-

Stupid ah moi : Why are you opening a savings account?
Me : o.O
Mum : O.O
Me : I beg your pardon?
Stupid ah moi : Why are you opening a savings account? (She has this bizarre shocked look on her stupid face)
Me : (With a very straight face) Answer me honestly please. What ELSE can you do with a savings account??!
Stupid ah moi : Errm... transferring commission you earned or something?
Me : How the hell does that make your question relevant??! Can we open the #$%#@ SAVINGS account or what?
Stupid ah moi : Yes of course.
Me : Then ? What's your problem?

My mum chastised me for answering the lady so rudely. The point is, MY POINT is.. what the fuck is she asking? Of course you open a savings account to save your money. Doesn't the name implies that?? What other fucking thing can you do with it? Fuck it with money?!

Really. I can't believe the ways those geniuses think. They must have short-circuited or something. Kanneh. This is like asking people "Eh, why do you breath ar?" Oii tolol. If I don't breath I'll die what. Kanneh. Where's your fucking brain? You eat shit and you shit rice is it???!!

--------------

The above incident reminded me of my experience with the stupid bankers in UK back in my Uni years. One of them is this:-

Me : I want to close my savings account. Here are the documents.
Stupid moron banker : Do you want to take out all your money?

And he proceeded to stare at me lovingly. Which sent my blood boiling over 100 degrees. And all hell broke loose. Volcanoes erupted and the goddamn jerk was blown into thin air.

Me : OF COURSE I'M TAKING OUT ALL OF MY MONEY. WHO WOULDN'T WHEN THEY CLOSE THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS? ARE YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY? YOU FUCKED UP OR SOMETHING??? ARE YOU HIGH ON DRUGS?????

I remembered myself asking him those questions very very loudly and that earned me surprised looks from all the people inside the bank.

Stupid moron banker : Hey chill. I'm just asking okay...
Me : That's a FUCKING STUPID QUESTION okay! Do I look like an idiot??! Do you even know how to do the paperworks? Are you qualified to handle the job??!!

That embarrassed him no end. His face brightened to a shade of red brick and his supervisor was on his way over when he hurriedly went over and convinced him that everything is under control.

Shit.

Seriously. I believe they grow up eating shit, and when they shit, they shit out gold. What a wonderful world!

stupid questions...

My aunt called at 5 PM just now when I was sleeping in the hotel.

*mobile phone rings*

Me : Hello? *VERY sleepy voice*

Aunt : Hello?! Eh, where are you?

Me : In the hotel. Sleeping.

Aunt : Oh. What are you doing there?

Me : -___-'' Sleeepppiinnngggg...

Aunt : Oh. Why you didn't come today? You told me you'd come today.

Me : All my activities were cancelled. No transport. Can't go. I'll call you once I rescheduled everything, kay...

Aunt : Oh... Where are you ar?

Me : ....

Truth be told, I was sooo goddamn pissed. Annoyed. All of a sudden, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I was wide awake. Her questions pissed me off. I was sooo bloody prompted... no, TEMPTED to ask her

Wei!!! Your ears got stuck inside your assholes issit?!!! Why the fuck you can't listen properly??!

But no. Instead, I told her in a slightly annoyed voice ...

Me : Aiyahhhh... told you liao I'm in the hotel sleeeeping!

Aunt : Okokok. Bye..

You say lar. You say lar. Stupid or not? I fucking can't stand them. I hate answering stupid questions. Kanneh. I so wanna cut them fucking lines! Tiu niamah!

Boring day : Cancelled meeting, rescheduled site visit...

Today sucks. The meeting's been cancelled. Even the site visit (my only survival hope from total boredom) was cancelled at the last minute too because the contractor went missing. I'm freaking pissed of calling anybody today. Most of my calls today either went unanswered or went straight into voice mails. Fuck voice mails. And fuck them for not answering. And fuck them for their busy tones.

And fuck blogger too. It took me two fucking days just to log on. Goddamn it. What the fuck is going on? Practically everything went wrong. Geezzz. Fuck!

There aren't any movies worth watching showing in the cinema too.

My friends are all busy busy busy. Working. Jaga anak. Traveling. Attending courses.

For those who aren't busy, I'm damn paiseh in calling them out. Later on ppl salah faham. Then all hell break lose. Tiu.

So, with my blood boiling all over my body, I went to bed. Slept myself dizzy. Until my aunt woke me up, with a stupid phone call. Asking loads of stupid questions that irritate me further.

What's the matter with people nowadays? And what's the matter with me? Have I gone nuts?

I'm bored out of my life and I simply can't stand conversing with total idiots. They ruin my day. They fucking ruin my day. AND... talking about idiots, I had the miserable misfortune of talking with a downright jerk last week. The conversation goes like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me : Help me to buy two cartons of milk. Got special offer now. RM2.99 per carton. Normal price RM3.20.

Idiot : What flavour?

Me : Milk. Fernleaf. Yellow box. Neh, the ones I bought together with you that day one aaa...

Idiot : What flavour?

Me : ... Milk lar!

Idiot : I know. What flavour you want? Got two flavour you know.

Me : Of coz I know! The other is chocolate. I want milk. MILK!

Idiot : What flavour??

Me : KNN CCB you fucking moron!!! I told you I want milk. MILK! Which part of that you didn't fucking understand?!!!! Are you of the Ma decendants or what? MCB why the fuck are you so stupid!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have many many many experiences with idiots. Dunce. I'll write and post them up if blogger behaves later on. Go and find them up at Dialogue. If you want to read them that is.

For now, I'll just stay in the hotel and eat cheese cakes, drink lotsa heavily caffeined coffee, watch the stupid box, listen to jerks screaming their lungs out and try to sleep.

Conclusion of today : Sucks. Horrible. I've had better days. I've seen better days. Geezzz...

weird pronunciations...

Have you ever noticed the weird pronunciations some people use when conversing in English? Especially those from foreign countries? I've had several encounters but what baffled me the most are the pronunciation of Philippines. No matter how highly educated they are they always, ALWAYS pronounce certain words differently. And man, they always baffle me. Really.

Examples of their pronunciations:

Example 1
What they said : Let's fuck them!
What they really meant : Let's fax them!

Hint : They were talking about faxing the letters to a certain somebody.

O.O'' Don't believe me? Really. They pronounced fax as fuck. I got the shock of my life when they said that in front of me. I looked at them and asked "Excuse me?! Who do you wanna fuck??!"

They roared in laughter when they realized what I was thinking. Geez!

Example 2
What they said : Where's your bug door?
What they really meant : Where's your back door?

Hint : They were actually talking about exit doors. I nearly banged my head to the nearest wall because I look like a total idiot staring at them, asking them again and again what was it that they really want. In the end, I made them spell the damn word out. Grrr...

Well, it's sad to say that I'm always exhausted after talking with them for long hours because I'm worried that my pronunciations will go haywire. Normally, I'll try talking to other people in English (with proper pronunciation) just to get rid of the stupid Philippine accent that somehow contaminated my system. I'm worried sick that I'd end up with pronunciations like them! Aaarrrggghhh!!!

mister again...

Got a phone call 2 mins ago. Another dumbass called :

Dumbass : Hello?

Me : Hello.

Dumbass : Is this Mr. [my full name]?

Me : (irritated) It's a Miss. MISS not mister!!!

Dumbass : Oh. It's Ms. [my full name] ar? Miss not Mister ar?

Me : ... Yes! Where are you calling from?
(I swear if she's in front of me, I'll strangle and shake her!!! I don't even sound like a guy!!!)

Dumbass : From the hotel they book for you. You're coming tomorrow, yes?

Me : Yes.

Dumbass : Ok. Thank youuu.

Somebody kill me quick. This world is not worth living in. It's full with idiots. First, the sub-con my Manager introduced to me called me Mr. [my surname].

Then, some of the staffs here accidentally called me Mr. They said tersasul wor.

Next, my air ticket was booked as Mr. [my full name].

Now, the fucking hotel dumbass called me Mr. [my full name] to confirm my bookings.

FUCK!!!!

always a Mr.

I got my air ticket to Sibu today. As usual, they made this one goddamn blardy mistake which I hate the most. They put Mr. instead of Ms. Other than that, everything else is right. Surprisingly, they managed to get my whole name's spelling right too. Except the Ms. part though.

Ugh...

Not only that, I'm always invited to wedding invitation. But the thing that really put me off most of the time is the title they put on the wedding cards. Encik/Mr.

Ma-deh.

I may act like a tomboy but I look like a gal okay! With boobs and all that.

And the stupid gal from the travelling agency dared to ask me this morning when I called her to complain about the title mistake:-

Stupid gal : Har? You're a Miss ar?

Me : Hoi! Do I sound like a guy to you? Huh? HUH?!!!

Stupid gal : Now that you ask me, no. You don't sound like a guy. Hihihi...

Damn gal has quite a cute voice so I couldn't stay angry at her for long over the phone.

But still... ugh!

Stupid conversations...stupid people...

I hate stupid conversations. AND those people without brains. With ALL my heart. Here are some examples :

Case 1

Me : Where do you wanna go for lunch?

A : Anywhere lar...

Me : What do you wanna eat?

A : Cincai lar...

Me : ...

Hello???! What's the point of talking here? It's the same as if I didn't talk/ask at all...

Case 2

Me : How much is this item?

B : RM900 something...

Me : RM900 something??? How much exactly???

B : RM900 something lar...

Me : Umm... RM900.90 also RM900 something. RM999.99 also RM900 something. So your RM900 something is how much EXACTLY ??!!!!

B : ... RM900 something lor...

Me : Do you REALLY KNOW the price OR NOT???

B : Errr... I go check

Me : ....

It doesn't make a difference whether I asked or not. I still don't get the answer to the questions I posed. What's the point of asking?


Case 3

Me : When do you want me to send you to airport?

C : Before 12.30 PM lar...

Me : ... *SIGH* Be more precise please...

C : Anytime before 12.30 PM is okay lar... (how the fuck is that more precise???)

Me : Fuck! 5 AM also before 12.30 PM. 12.29 PM also before 12.30 PM. Just gimme a fucking precise time is that SO HARD??? Do you remember that I work from 8 AM - 12.30 PM??? What the fuck is wrong with you people???!!!!


Case 4

I walked past the make-up section (or whatever shitty section you guys call it) inside a shopping complex. And I totally despice those sales promoters. They'll all come swarming you, asking you to buy their products lar, promotion that lar, this lar. There are only two scenarios for me when it encountering them.

First scenario

Sales promoter : Miss, what products are you looking for? Body shampoo? Lotion? Perfume? Hair shampoo? Lipstick? We sell everything you need here. Got promotion bla bla bla...

Me : I'm just passsssing by... (walked by without a glance)

Sales promoter : ......

Second scenario

Sales promoter : Miss, what are you looking for?

Me : I'm looking for [brand name]. Do you have it?

Sales promoter : Oh. We have the same product by different brand which is on promotion right now. Do you wanna try? It's very good bla bla bla (goes on to praise the goddamn product)...

Me : DO.YOU.HAVE.[brand name].OR.NOT? Yes or no will do!

Sales promoter : Err... nope.

Me : Fuck. Waste of my time.

Sales promoter : ...

Case 5

At a petrol station...

I was using VISA card to pay. Once I got the receipt from the petrol kiosk, I showed it to the person in charge there in order to get the Entry Form for their promotion/competition right now. Each RM30 of fuel pumped gives you a Form in return. I pumped RM70 so I'm entitled to two of those Entry Forms.

Me : (showed her my Visa receipt) I'd like to have those Entry Forms please..

Stupid gal : Oh... (scribbled hastily on a receipt and handed it to me)

Me : ...

Stupid gal : You want receipt right?

Me : No. I want those Entry Forms.

Stupid gal : Oh... ok. Here (stared at my receipt for a minute before she gave me two of those Forms)

Me : ...

If she listened, REALLY listened, she would have known what I said. It's like you're asking for a plate of chicken rice, and they give you a plate of satay instead. Totally bizarre.

Are they stupid or just plain ignorant? And I'm so bloody pissed because I see and talk to such fools on everyday basis. It's wrecking havoc with my nerves!!!

missing a meeting

This happened several days back, when I was still having problems logging into www.blogger.com - hence, the lack of posts in my blog. I think they dun like me or was it really such a coincidence???

My lunch time is from 12.30 - 2.00 PM (Mon-Fri). I left the office at 12.30 PM, heading back to my home for lunch and then went straight to the office at 1.00 PM cause I was so pissed with my mum for talking and arguing nonsense with my Uncle over the telephone while her rice was getting cold on the dining table.

That Uncle of mine LOVES to call when you're about to eat : breakfast, lunch, dinner. Timing sucks all the frigging time. I HATE it the most when ppl disturb us during a meal, be it at the restaurant, house or hawker stalls. Especially phone calls. Also those annoying China pakku or damn youngsters come pestering you to buy their stuffs when you're eating. So annoying! Pesky flies! One death stare from me normally sent them scurrying off. But my mum. She's so nice and polite and all that. I got sooo bloody irritated at her!

Anyway, back to story. I reached office at 1.00 PM and stayed inside till after office hour is over. That's 5.30 PM.

The next day, my BigBigBoss came into my room.

Boss : You okay?

Me : Yeah.

Boss : You fine?

Me : ??? Yes. I'm fine. Why?

Boss : ...

Me : Hey, any work for me to do or not? I'm so bored! What do you want me to do exactly? Sit here shaking legs??

Boss : ! I've got work for you to do! We were discussing it yesterday in a meeting. I asked for your presense but you weren't in.

Me : !!! What?! I was in the office the whole afternoon yesterday! When was the meeting held?

Boss : 2.00 PM. I sent (col's name) to look for you but she said you're not in...

Me : Huh?! I was here. In this room. WHOLE afternoon!

The Boss looked at me for a while and then took off looking for my Manager. I was like wtf??!

I've worked for this Boss before and he knows how I work. Him checking on me indicates that he finds something fishy there. I'm so glad and thankful that he checked on me first before jumping into conclusions!!!

I think somebody's trying to get me into trouble. Either they don't like me or they are testing me. Frankly speaking, I don't like them too. Bitches!! Low life scums. Pttfff!

free food...

Today I had ice cream (from Sunny Hill) + butter cheese cake (Mita Cake House) + bread as part of a birthday celebration for one of the staff in the office. They were celebrating his belated birthday. His name was Leo or Lei something something. I'm really not good in remembering names. Bad me.

Anyway, I learned some interesting company rules from some colleagues while eating with them.

Windy : Eh, which month is your birthday ar?

Me : Huh? My birthday month? Why?

Windy : The company has this rule lor. RM30 is sponsored as a way of celebrating the birthday of the staffs here. We use the money to buy some food and then we have a small party like this just to celebrate lor. Currently, we are missing August and October. None of us here were born in August nor October! So tell us your month of birth!
(She awaits eagerly. Apparently for her, eating free food is very important and her whole life sorta depends on it)

Me : Erm. Mine's August.

Windy : Really? YES! Now we can eat in August!! *giddy laughs*

Me : -___-''

Windy : Oh. What's the exact date then? Your birthday.

Me : 31

Windy : o.O

Me : What?

Windy : WHAT?!!

Me : 31st lar.
(FYI, I was born on the 31st of August, the National Day of Malaysia. *grins*)

Windy : O.O *jaw drops*

Me : Look. Are you disappointed cause you won't be able to eat due to the public holiday???

Windy : Haha. We can always eat earlier!!!

Me : ...
(Believe me. She has fast recovery rate. And of course. We can't eat later than that cause that would means September. Wasted. *sigh*)

~~~~~~~~~~~
Minutes later...

Me : Hey. If you have 3 people having DOBs in August, does that mean you get like, RM90? RM30 per person right?

Windy : Nonono. My boss won't allow it. Just RM30 nia. If more than 2 persons, then maximum is RM50 lor. He's stingy. Doesn't count per head oneeee.
(Her boss is Edo)

Me : Oh. Why not. It's just RM30 mar.

Windy : He says the number of people eating is the same mar. So RM30 is enough per month. Plus, he never cincai eat food one. Cheap stuffs like these, he won't touch oneee. Very high class lar him.

Me : How high class?

Windy : Last time hor, we bought some type of beverage, white in colour lar. I can't remember the name. I think it's called White Lady or something. When we gave one glass to him, he won't even try it! And he sniffed on it some more. Haiya! Scared we poison him meh haiya!

Me : *incredulous look mode on* Sniffed??? He sniffed it?

Windy : He always say we spend too much buying food. When it's his turn next, we're going to buy the cheapest food available out there for him to eat!

Suddenly...

Everybody else : Yayaya!!! Let's buy bla bla bla....

They then proceeded to blurt out a long list of cheap, terrible food to buy for him to eat during his birthday month. The list got so long, I totally lost track. Employees can sometimes be so mean. *shakes head*

Personally, I think it's very good that the employer made the effort to sponsor a little bit of money as a form of appreciation for their staffs. RM30 is better than nothing, right? We never had this practice in my ex-company. The only thing they have was the staffs themselves forking out money to celebrate the birthday with you. Either way, you'd feel as if you belong some where right?

I guess I'm right about Edo thought. Seems like I'm not the only one who doesn't like him. *sigh*

ps : I swear the ones I wrote and LOST in the goddamn Gmail draft was much much better than this. Still very pissed at farking Gmail. Tulan! Ptui!
