Entry rojak

I haven't been blogging for quite sometime even though i sempat bagi arahan supaya orang ittew tidak lupa menyiapkan tugasannya setiap minggu. You have like trillion followers, so you owe us all..keep entertaining!

I decided to go underground for a few days. Menyampah tau! Ada la mulut lebar jantan sorang kat tempat kerja i ni buat remark depan org lain, eh dah lama i tak baca blog you. Pas tu siap nak bagitau the others how he managed to track down my blog dulu. So you know who you are, please respect my wish to remain anonymous (from you people at work). Banyak lagi benda lain yg you boleh jadikan agenda utk mesyuarat tingkap you.

Last weekend, MG and i went out again in search of another sofa. The thing with us (or me), we like to mix n match. Ni kira dah second round of menukar perabut. The first time dulu when we first started to play house. We got a basic 2 seater from Homelife (yg dah tak jumpa lagi kedainya kat KL, ada lagi ke?) and 2 rattan banana chair from Rattandec0r. Main lagi bebudak bulu tu suka mengasah kuku diaorg kat kerusi tu...in fact the sofa dah berbulu2 kat belakangnya and nak tukar cover, kedainya pun dah pupus. So one day i ran by my plan with MG over the phone while he was at the office (as usual) - i cakap i nak tukar kerusi pas tu i mumble2....the day the new sofa was supposed to arrive, i sent my maid to hebahkan sapa nak sofa i yg lama (one of my neighbours did) and the rattan chairs went to my kekanda (i sanggup bayar RM200 utk transport lagi..punya la gigih nak lupuskan barang. Kalau tunggu MG balik rumah, sahla kerusi2 tu takkan ke mananya). Hence we got one 3-seater...tetiba i rasa living room i luas betullll..bebudak boleh buat cartwheel lagi..then i felt ridiclous..bila tengok tv, berderet la kami 4 beranak berasak kat kerusi yg satu tu..cam the Simpsons la pulak..

So last weekend, off we went hunting again. Pesen kerusi utk round ni (just like the one we just bought) mestilah berbadan kayu, tanpa unsur2 gatai kakitangan terbit di hati anak2 bulu utk mencakar. At the same time also, i idakle berminat pulak pada perabut jati because i rasa cam mak2 sikit.

From here onwards i nak complain about layanan pekedai kepada customer..i.e. us. First stop was SSF kat Puchong yg baru bukak. MG cakap their furniture collection dah bertambah menarik (yes tuan puan, laki ku dah pi window shopping dulu. Don't play2!). Udahla kedainya cam malap je..pas tu banyak nook and crannies..kat celah2 tu idakle dia ada stesenkan orgnya. If you want anything you have to go to the counter and get somebody. Sib baik pi dgn laki yg ada inbuilt GPS. MG ada berkenan kat satu sofa (can you call it sofa ke when dia idakle berplush cushion semua? Ni badan kayu yg dibaluti dgn sikit sponge..hehe)..he said the chair has character (yeah i said...character is not cheap you know). But we didn't like the fabric yg dah sedia ada tu. We told the SA pompuan tu, dik, boleh tukar tak? She said nanti ye, so off she went and got another SA. And masa tu tertonggok la kitaorg kat counter, idakle dioffer tempat duduk and i tak berani nak duduk kat mana2 because semua kerusi bertanda, display unit only, do not sit. Ada 4-5 org staff kat counter faffing about. All we wanted was to look at buku fabrik kan..adik yg serve kitaorg tu tengah brok brek ngan manager/Sv dia kut. I asked him, dik, boleh tak....and he said, jap ye kak, ada masalah sikit ni. Tak tau apa masalahnya because the SV whatever was speaking on the phone in china. I dah memeluk bag i dah masa tru dgn muka masam cam asam kelubi...so i went up to the adik kononnya nak menyindir, i said, it's ok, tak eyour time, we'll go somehwere else dulu. And the adik boleh cakap, a ah kak, akak pi tempat lain dulu. Bengong! As i was leaving dgn hati yg panas, i cakap rubbish! Ek eleh..jaga gurkha yg tak tau apa benda tu pulak yg kena. Pas tu MG boleh cakap kat i, you ni cakap la kat dia apa kita nak, tak yah la cakap kat dia camtu tadi, dia tak paham pun. Ek eleh, ni lagi satu diva..terus sulk becase he didn't get what he wanted.

Pas tu we went to UrbanCulture Damansara..i have always liked UC. Servicenya bagus, baik kat situ or the outlet in ampang. Too bad we didn't see anything we liked there. Then MG dgn gaya2 sulkynya berkata, i sebenarnya suka kerusi kat SSF tadi..CK, no way i nak pi sana balik. MG, takpe, kita tengok outlet diaorg kat KDamansara pulak. Adala pun kerusi tu...service nya pun excellent. So giranglah hati si MG. CK pun keluarlah card utk zap zap (role reversal betul kan? Takpe, i shall unleash my 'toyol' self to his wallet for a very very long time..sikit2 lama2 jadi bukit.

Another place yg sungguh suck servicenya (dan takde kena mengena dgn perabut) ialah Svensen's SJ. Went there many months ago. Ordered brownie with ice cream for the kids. Pakmaknya dah jenuh tunggu makanan, dah makan dah and still brownienya tak sampai2. Dua, tiga kali bagitau kat waiter tu, each time he said yes, and then masuk ke kitchen. Until la 1 hour later baru dapat. Little D dah guling pering (another perak punya istilah of ....i myself pun tak sure apa) dah atas lantai. Nak katakan depa sibuk, ada 4, 5 family je masa tu. So masa nak pi bayar, i cakap la kat Ass. managernya about the incident. Dia pun pi la tanya waiter tu, ghope2nya budak tu lupa masukkan order. Pas tu i tengok the bill..i said, your service sucked big time today pun you all masih nak charge i service tax ke?? And the AM had the cheek to say, er Puan, yg tu dah memang ditekan dalam bill..tak leh buat apa2 dah. What you think i'm stupid?? Kalau ye pun tak leh nak reverse perahu, offer la ice cream ke, cekelat ke as compensation. So Svensen's i'm never ever gonna masuk there anymore.

Loyar sabung ayam, saya pun rasanya nak saman org la satu hari nanti ni..ni had yg suka bakar2 ni...wait..shall i saman the perbadanan for keeping their eyes closed or apakata i saman org yg melancarkan kempen bumi hijau tu? Come on la Uncle, when you launched the campaign last time, i dah agak dah this bakar2 sampah thing will happen..apa kena tah org mesia ni..bila ada daun kering, this will trigger the pyromaniac in them. Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia - bila minda org kita nak merdeka dari merosakkan bumi and mencemarkan alam, tak tau la!

  1. Cik Kiah,salam.
    IT really maddening when SA buat donno saja bila kita perlukan khidmat mereka.lebih lagi bila lihat kita tak brapa dressed up.Tak semestinya yg kurang gaya tu kurang RMnya kan.

  2. huh! past few years, my friend pegi Habib dkt KLCC, kekonon nak tgk2 all the intan berlian, my fren ni mmg tak pandai dress up (read: selipar buruk, jeans besar2, tshirt besar2, tudung plain), sedang dia tgk2, tetiba SA tu kata "ni tgk2, ada duit ke?".. ganas tak SA ituu..

    Malaysia ni mmg lambat sikit bab2 environment ni kan.. alah paksa aje mcm dkt UK ni kannn.. ko nak ade pokok and whatnot dkt rumah, ko mesti recycle all the garden waste or buat compose sendiri.. saman je sapa2 yg bakor membakor ni..

  3. Patutnya kena review balik service charge ni! 10% kan? Tp service macam sampah sarap!

  4. Sis,

    We had one bad experience dekat one pizza place nya. The meals menu tu a bit deceiving and service punyalah lembab. I was there dengan satu kawan kaki gaduh, but gaduh bertempatlah. She was adamant that she does not wanna pay service charge. Akhirnya, the manager keluar and waived the service charge, hahahha. Boleh pon. Tapi memang kena sanggup bergaduh dan sanggup menunggu. Normally kita nak cepat jek kan..

  5. i thought my hubby jer yg suka sulk when he didn't get what he wanted! so were yours! eeeii... i menyampah betol bila dia wat perangai cam tu. selalunya kalau dia dah jadi cam tu, i akan kata " i am going home now!" and i mean it! i pernah pergi IKEA nak tengok2 sofa bila dia buat perangai. and i terus menonong cari jalan pulang. bosan sungguh!
