Some people are just so stupid - Part I

Stupid Incident 1
Scenario: Couldn't use my ATM card at Bank ABC despite numerous attempts. Received a sms from the bank later asking me to drop by to have my card checked out. So, the next day, I went to the bank.

Bank Staff 1: Morning Miss, how can I help you?
Me: I can't use my ATM card
Bank Staff 1: So, you want to replace your card?
Me: Ya...I think so.
Bank Staff 1: (issued me a Queue ticket)

At the counter,
Bank Staff 2: Morning, what can I do for you?
Me:  I cannot use my ATM card.
Bank Staff 2: So, you want to replace your card?
Me: Errr...I dunno.  You tell me...
Bank Staff 2:  Excuse me for awhile (she walked to another bank teller to inquire about my card).
Bank Staff 2: Sorry Miss, your card is old card, cannot be used already.
Me: (silently thinking..hmm, I just used this 1 month ago..)
Bank Staff 2: So, you want to replace your card?
Me: (silently saying Oh My God!!).  Might as well la...already cannot used anyway! (silently saying Oh My God!! again)

Stupid Incident 2
Scenario: I wanted to upgrade my broadband to the new high speed package but wasn't sure if my area has coverage. So, I decided to drop in to the nearest TM Point outlet today to ask.

Girl at info counter: Yes?
Me: I want to find out more info about Unifi.
Girl at info counter:Why?
Me: (silently saying Oh My God!!)
Girl at info counter: (gave me queue ticket without waiting for my response)
Me: (silently saying..You are So Stupid!!)

What the Frog!

After a long absence from this blog, this is probably not a nice way to welcome myself back.  But, I have more rants these days and I think I need my blog more than ever to blow off steam.

So, this pretty much sums up how I've been feeling over the past weeks and the crappy people that I had to deal with....

A month in UK

It's been 3 weeks since my arrival in Egham, Surrey for my one month's work stint. I figured I better start jotting down details before my memory fails me. 

Arrived at London Hathrow Airport on an early Sunday morning.  The company had arranged for a cab to pick me up, thank god.  Egham was just 15-20 mins away from the airport.  I had to stop by the office HQ to pick up the keys to my place of stay, The Old Caol Yard serviced apartment.  The apt unit wasn't easy to locate, prolly cos I didn't realise that number 11 on the envelope meant my unit number...go figure!

Anyway, with the help of the kind cab driver, I finally found it.  The place was seriously big for me alone. 

The kitchen

The living room and small dining room.

Upstairs bathroom - HUGE! I should pamper myself in here more.

Upstairs bedroom

Egham is a small town in Surrey, south east of England. The biggest shop here is probably Tesco Express.  This is my hang out place on evenings when I just didn't feel like going home straight from work.  Pathetic...that's for sure.  My office is roughly about 15 mins walk from the apartment, which isn't too bad. It is nice to walk in the cold actually.  More reports soon....
