Several months ago Tiger Airway had the $1 ticket promotion. I blogged about me purchased the ticket with Angel. I eventually paid only $12 for a return ticket.
Few days ago, I received an email from Tiger Airway : they have "suspended" the flights all ticket fares would be refunded.
What the fuck? No, what a FRAUD.
The flights involved were booked up in a very short time. So they can't use "the flights are mostly empty and they have no choice" as an excuse to cancel the flights.
I understand airlines have every right to cancel flights. But this is not the way to do business isn't it? They've achieved publicity during the promotion and then they cancel us off. What a fraud.
Really shitty.

That's mental
The sensational news of a NTU student stabbed a professor and jumped to his death has got the "verdict" :
http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_409686.html?vgnmr=1
There was a "verdict" because that the family of the NTU student (David) who allegedly stabbed the professor, DID NOT believe their beloved son and brother would commit suicide. And the case went to court.
This is so damn crazy man. I understand their grief and sadness of losing their son and brother. But the evidences were soooooooo freaking strong and valid. Why don't they believe it?? Yes, they are sad, they are in denial. But totally overthrow all those evidences are CRAZY! THat's no longer just "denial" but mental. THey really have gone mental.
The professor was stabbed on his back. No one can stab themself on the back like that. What's there not to believe?? And several students saw David jumped to his death. If this is a conspiracy, they must involve a hell lot of people. And for what?
My colleague insisted there must be a reason for the assault. He insisted that there must be some untold truth such as, maybe the professional has stolen the computer programme that David wrote... I do not believe in this. Even if there's something like this, it does not mean David can go and stab people. He was still the perpetrator. There's no excuse.
The family said they will go to international court for this. They had been really really angry about the verdict. Mental! Totally irrational. Would the international court even consider attend to such thing???
Sorry to say this but this is really a waste of the court's time.

I really love seeing ppl get drunk
My Japanese colleague is leaving. Her last day is this Friday. So today we had a farewell dinner. Sort of a farewell dinner for me too, as I'm leaving next month too. And after that we went karaoke, for the FIRST time in my 5.5 years here. haha. We've been talking about going to karaoke for ages but hardly anyone was keen. So we never made it until today, well, yesterday. It's 1:30am now.
It was SO MUCH fun and SO MUCH laughter. My MD got "pretty" drunk and started dancing with Heineken bottles... There was still half a bottle of beer in it. The beer was therefore poured on the floor but my MD seemed not to notice AT ALL.
Mind you, he is a VERY GOOD drinker. It's some serious drinking when he's drunk... He drinks EVERYTHING, beer, wine, chinese liquor, hard liquor... He drank this and that... everything... The China guys were really good drinkers too. Kept complaining the cocktails were tasteless and asked for neat Brandy instead.
My MD was so drunk that he forgot his address. And he showed the wrong way when my colleague drove him home. aaahahahahahaha.... My MD let us all go to work the next day at 10am. haha!
We sang Chinese, ENglish, Japanese, Hokkien, Malay and even Thai songs~ so much fun. The cover charge was supposed to be $18++. For members there's a promotion and you toss the dice, and you can enjoy different levels of discount. I tossed it, and got the lowest discount. I knew it. I never have such luck. And the staff said, "You can toss it again, I'll pretend I never saw that." My colleague then tossed it. Guess what? He got the "Free cover charge". Woho!! The staff could not believe our luck. I can tell she regretted what she said. But you can't take back what you said... I pity her.
hahahah...
Anyway, we spent $500+ there. If there was cover charge, it includes 2 drinks for each person and it will be about $200+ excluding extra drinks that we were to order. So I guess she would be happy to see the bill at the end.
One thing though, I really really enjoy seeing people get drunk. My China colleague, when he first came he can only speak one English word :"No". Whatever you ask him, he will say "no", regardless what is the question. hahaha.. He's here about a year. He has the will to learn and he bought electronic dictionary and attended free classes organised by church. Now he improved a lot. But still, can only speak the basic. And when he got drunk, he spoke to me in English!!! He asked me "You go Toa Payoh? You go Toa Payoh?" hahahaha....
Previously at Yeow Shun's wedding, same thing happened. My friend Gigi and KaiLong, when they got drunk at the wedding dinner, they too started talking in English too which is unusual!! HAHAHAHAHAH... but it was darn hilarious. So now I know, this was not an unique case. hahahaha.... I think they should drink more in order to improve their English. AAAAAHAHHAHAHAHA.....
It is a bit sad to leave the company. Afterall I've worked there for over 5years and for the most part everybody got along really well. But.. gotta move on. It can't be helped.

Christian Bale
The FBI agent, Purvis in the movie Public Enemies - Christian Bale, was the kid in Empire of The Sun. That really surprised me. I had no idea.
He looked really charming in Pubic Enemies. And when I know he's the kid in Empire of The Sun, it felt awkward. Because his last image in my head was still a kid. Suddenly he's all grown up and all attractive. I only just know the adult Christian Bale. It felt like.. I think a little boy is attractive. Kind of sick feeling.. hahahah.. I don't know if anyone understand what I am saying... anyway.. just odd feeling.

Public Enemy - Johnny Depp
First there was Michael (in Smooth Criminal),
then there was Johnny Depp (Public Enemies).
Men in hats are just so sexy.
Just watched Public Enemies by Johnny Depp. It takes some time to get use to seeing Johnny Depp as a normal person and not the quirky Willy Wonka or Captain Sparrow. Nevertheless, it was thoroughly enjoyable. JD was utterly charming. UTTERLY.
This movie was based on real story, a famous bank robber John Dillinger in 1930's. Quote from Wiki : "He was a dangerous criminal, who was responsible for the murder of several police officers, robbed at least two dozen banks and four police stations, and escaped from jail twice, but some people idolized him as a modern-day Robin Hood. He was nicknamed "the Jackrabbit" for his graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over counters and his many narrow getaways from police."
WOW. People idolized him, and "graceful movements during heists, such as leaping over counters.." Sounds pretty cool, eh? Really sounds like some kind of heroes or legendary character typical in movies. And 2 dozen banks... Gosh... He was good.
I give the movie 4.5 stars. The 0.5 deduction was because many scenes were shot at extreme close up. Actually it was nice.. but.. I felt like to move backwards a little because the close ups were really too overwhelming. But it was a great movie, love Johnny !
See this pic, Johnny Depp's image of John Dillinger is quite right on. I give it 10/10 points~

The movie sort of "beautified" the John Dillinger. On the other hand, the FBI looked stupid. And by the way, Johnny Depp, John Dillinger, same initial - JD. hahaha...
The real John Dillinger, looks quite charming to me too. Thou he had a more evil feeling in his eyes. But he must be really charming to the ladies in real life.

Can you lend me $50,000?
Dear friends,
Can you lend me say, $50,000? And then I shall forget about it. wahahahaha..... Just like Raymond Yeung FORGOT about his $50,000 loan from Mandala. And that Ming Yi also forgot to record this loan.
YEAH RIGHTTTTTTT.
HELLOO??!!! This is freaking $50,000 bucks! Not $50!
They are desperate without a sound reason for not recording the loan.
He also claimed that the once $500,000 over dollars in his account was not his money but donation from devotees to another organisation. If it's for charity, why the hell was the money in HIS account and not the organisation?? I just CAN NOT think of an excuse for this.
Amongst the spending of Ming Yi when he was in Australia, there was a bill at a tanning salon.... Not sure who was the one that went into the tanning salon. Maybe Ming Yi, maybe Raymond Yeung (they sometimes go holiday together), only they know. But imagine if it were Ming Yi.. Gosh... Why did a monk need tanning... imagine a monk in a Speedo... eeeewwww..... I am being mean. Better don't continue with this. But all the things that have been digged out... really.... he has holiday, he is rich, he even go diving....
My colleague who's a devout buddhist always said a monk should free his mind from the temptation of all these, a monk is not allowed to have these kind of leisure, which I totally agree. Not that we're mean, denying him of the leisures in life, but the truth is, he CHOSE to be a monk. A monk is not supposed to enjoy all these leisures like we do. Else what the hell is a monk? Collect donation and go diving? Then I want to be a nun.
He lives like a normal CEO enjoying his life, you know? Someone please tell him what is the definition of being a monk for God's sake, or should I say, for Buddha's sake.
Gaawwwddd......

Bad, bad resumes
It was pretty "interesting" at work today.
I put up a recruitment ad online for my position. Today is the first day. I have to screen through the resumes before I pass the potential ones to my manager. I am guessing the ad was put up at midnight because there were already 4 resumes coming in as soon as I opened up my mailbox.
I received more than 50 resumes at the time I knocked off. I think I will have a busy morning tomorrow screening through all these resumes. But most of these candidates made it easy for me... because their resumes were really.................
horrible.... Not worth to go through in detail.
Horrible and ridiculous resumes.
Just about a week ago I read an article of the mistakes, spelling mistakes in particular commonly seen in resumes. I thought, well, those are some mistakes that one should not have made. Simply because, Microsoft Word auto detects your spelling errors and highlights it. How can anyone still make spelling mistakes when one glance on your resume, you can see where the problem is. Well, it appears that this happens really frequent and quite common.
Of all the resumes I received, I would say only 5-10% are the good ones. Seriously.. 5-10% only. But I must mention, nearly 70% of the applicants are foreigners such as Philipinos, Burmese and China nationals.
I know their English is not very good. I'm not picking their mistakes in grammars or their English level. Spelling mistake however is one thing I cannot accept, as I mentioned, Microsoft Word lets you know your spelling error. Some of these applicants made seriously unacceptable mistakes.
For example, one lady wrote : "I'm applying for a job"
"A job". My advertisement clearly stated we are looking for an Administrator. Why can't she put the name of the position in her letter? This is not the worst, she used PINK. PINK fonts in her email!!! Who is she? Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blond who uses pink paper for her resume??
Another lady wrote : "I am applying for any job."
................... Again, why can't she just put the position in that sentence?
AND, many girls put unacceptable photos in the resumes. Self-taken photos in the room, photos cropped from their leisure photos, photos taken at studio as if they're applying for a modelling competition, photos as if they are looking for online friends... HORRIBLE... I almost burst out laughing when I saw them...
And I was really surprised to receive many application from men. Administrator is "traditionally" a woman's job. But we do consider them all the same. I received one application from a China guy. I noticed there are other email addresses in the CC column. And I wondered, who the hell he CC the email to?? I opened that email full screen, and I saw dozens of emails in that CC column. What the ...??!!! He sent this email to me as well as a whole bunch of other people, mainly job agencies. How lazy can you get? AND! He wrote "I am excited to see the position of Marketing Assistant"................. Hello?! Which part of Administrator he couldn't understand? I can't stop laughing seeing this application... because of his laziness. He should be a bit cleverer and put all in BCC instead.
Then there are those who types "pls" for "please". Didn't their teachers teach them not to use sms languages for job application???
Then there are those who don't put ANYTHING in their email, not a word in the subject column. They only attached their resumes. It was too nice of me not deleting these emails right away. I still open the resumes only because I am a curious cat. I want to see how good, or bad, their resumes are.
I began to understand why I got this new job of mine after seeing these applications...
There are so many graduates applied for this position... Is market really that bad? There's even one who graduated from a university in the US. Another graduated from NUS. But she never stated what degree she has got...???? And her resume did not have the standard of a graduate... It was all very weird. Today really made me 大开眼界.......
And who goes interview with a polo-shirt huh? I saw one today...For God's sake this is not a factory job...
What is wrong with these people? Some things are really just common sense. You don't send photos that look like you are looking for a boyfriend to your potential employer. You don't send an email without writing anything, without subject to your potential employer. You type every single word in full in your email to your potential employer because they are not your msn buddy. How difficult is it to understand these things??
I have serious urge to reply to all these candidates and tell them what mistakes they have made. Perhaps I should hold a lesson for all these candidates. Let's see, I only have to charge one person $20. I received 50+ resumes today of which maybe 90% are ok ones. So, $20 x 50. I could have earned $1,000 in one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why thank Michael
Ok, continue from this post : Thank You Michael! I can now talk about it as everything is firmed now.
Why did I thank Michael? I have gotten a new job~!!!! I think Michael landed me that job. When I got the call for this interview, it was a week after Michael's death. I was still in distraught about Michael's death. But I have to stop watching/thinking about Michael for a while (unwillingly) and prepare for my interview.
On the day of the interview I was really nervous, as usual. I hate interviews. Well, nobody likes interviews. On my way there I said in my heart, "Michael, give me strength." And it did calm me down a little!
I waited in the room for some time, the aircond was very cold and I was getting nervous by the minute. Again, I channelled my thoughts on Michael. And I felt better~
And the interview went really well. I was also lucky (must be because of Michael! ) as the HR officer had to take urgent leave and so the dept manager himself interviewed me instead. So I was not required to go for a second interview.
I CANNOT believe I got the job from the ONE interview I went this year. I only sent out 2 resumes this year! I only got the call 1 month after the application deadline. I had thought it had all gone down the drain. Imagine having to go through many interviews...
It must be Michael~
I am ecstatic!!!!
But I do feel bad towards my manager in current company. My Japanese colleague had just resigned and her last day is end of this month. And I resigned at this same period... We are the two who help him with deliveries, etc. And now we both are leaving. My manager had been very good to me. I think I will buy him a gift but not sure what I should buy.
My MD did not say anything to me about my resignation. I think he's in shock. hahahaha... I'm not saying I'm very important but he certainly did not expect my Japanese colleague to resign and then now me too.
I'm so excited. I can't wait to join the big family in the new company~!

Do you knwo Snapfish?
Do you know Snapfish? www.snapfish.com.sg
You can order your photos prints and other photo gifts there. Delivery is quite cheap. I have ordered a few times. The latest of my order was 3 different sizes of t-shirts with photo prints on it. One of the t-shirt has a faulty to it. The photo was not printed on the center of the t-shirt. So I wrote to Snapfish telling them this faulty. They replied really fast, on the same day or the day after, I forgot. They said they've credited the amount of one t-shirt to my account and asked me to resubmit the order. And after that they will refund the delivery charges back to my credit card.
So I did.
And then I was informed that the t-shirt had been delivered. But after about 10days I still have not received the t-shirt. I have always received my order within 5working days so this is a bit unusual.
So I wrote to them again. They said it rarely happened but it could be lost in the mail. It really is quite amazing if it's lost in the mail as it's not a small letter...it's a parcel. The customer service did not ask me to wait further for that replacement but instead, they re-submitted my order for me and of course they apologize and asked for me to wait for this one.
Which means, if the first replacement eventually came to me, I will have 2 replacement t-shirts. I replied and asked is he sure? Wouldn't he want me to wait a little further? And do I have to send back the 2nd replacement if it turns up? The reply was "need not".
How nice is that? My email to them after I have waited 10working days was only intended to get them to double check. Although.. there's really nothing that can be checked after they have delivered it. Because it wasn't by courier, just normal post. I did not expect them to immediately re-submit my order again. It's really impressive. Good job, Snapfish!
Try order something from them~ I've ordered a few mugs with photo print on it, as well as t-shirts and photo prints. But the colours on the photos were not much to my likings. I think they might have to improve on this. Other than this, their service had been really good and I really love that I don't have to go anywhere to order my photo gifts~
You can order your photos prints and other photo gifts there. Delivery is quite cheap. I have ordered a few times. The latest of my order was 3 different sizes of t-shirts with photo prints on it. One of the t-shirt has a faulty to it. The photo was not printed on the center of the t-shirt. So I wrote to Snapfish telling them this faulty. They replied really fast, on the same day or the day after, I forgot. They said they've credited the amount of one t-shirt to my account and asked me to resubmit the order. And after that they will refund the delivery charges back to my credit card.
So I did.
And then I was informed that the t-shirt had been delivered. But after about 10days I still have not received the t-shirt. I have always received my order within 5working days so this is a bit unusual.
So I wrote to them again. They said it rarely happened but it could be lost in the mail. It really is quite amazing if it's lost in the mail as it's not a small letter...it's a parcel. The customer service did not ask me to wait further for that replacement but instead, they re-submitted my order for me and of course they apologize and asked for me to wait for this one.
Which means, if the first replacement eventually came to me, I will have 2 replacement t-shirts. I replied and asked is he sure? Wouldn't he want me to wait a little further? And do I have to send back the 2nd replacement if it turns up? The reply was "need not".
How nice is that? My email to them after I have waited 10working days was only intended to get them to double check. Although.. there's really nothing that can be checked after they have delivered it. Because it wasn't by courier, just normal post. I did not expect them to immediately re-submit my order again. It's really impressive. Good job, Snapfish!

My 3 babies
I have a cactus Gab bought me. It's red and yellow. Last last week I bought another 2. So I named them 3 as : Steve (as in Steve Irwin), Michael and Jackson 
Michael has a tiny flower on it. It is so beautiful isn't it? Michael loved to smile and Michael's smile was so beautiful. So I chose this blue dove with "Happy Smile" for him.
Close up of the tiny flower.
I hope the 3 of them grow strong and big.

Enough is enough
I've had it. Enough is enough.

I've written my opinion about The RenCi Saga previously.
In the Renci trial, it was reported FORMER Ren Ci CEO Ming Yi has soooooo many properties, in Singapore and Australia, including a plot of land in Australia, which a house was built, even a show horse, EVEN A COUNTRY CLUB MEMBERSHIP. Some are under his own name. Why is a monk that rich? And I thought monk is not supposed to have leisure as my colleague who's a devout Buddhist told me. Maybe he had to "entertain" people to get funds??
Perhaps there are some stories behind which we won't know? Perhaps we ought not to trust the media completely? Just like Michael Jackson's trials? The media made him a criminal even when he was acquitted of all charges. However, this is Singapore we're talking about. I trust the media(Straits Times), generally speaking. And the justice system. In US, some police officers can really abuse their power without much problem. It's not that easy in Singapore. I'm not saying SIngapore is 100% clean. But I believe Singapore is cleaner than US.
So, while I do not view this case as Ming Yi in the wrong 100%, my trust on him had been shattered. I cannot and would not agree on a monk's spending like he did.
And so, I wrote to Ren Ci, asking to withdraw my monthly donation. I will then donate my money to other organisation. Of course, other organisation might have some dirty activities going on which we would not know. But till then (till SG gov discovered something wrong), my money is going elsewhere and not RenCi.
