av,
clementi has a stall of ahballing too.
In that Tau Hauy soup too.
Anyway, my sister was discussing Sinagapore with me. She just read about the credit card for the lower income. And we discussed the mandate.
And just just now, she came into my room to tell me she loves a kinda japanese snack I brought from Japan. Its those rice biscuit thingy that looks like curled up sotong.
My nephew loves the wasabi flavoured, seaweed wrapped crisps. (I knew that, thats why I grabbed them off the shelf when I saw its green packaging instead of the pink packaging ones. Thank goodness I grabbed the rite wans.)
She is asking me to buy more of those snacks when I see them (that will be like when I pass thru japan again???!!!!On my way back????!!!! How am I suppose to send them to her?????!!!!) -

In Singapore, the words mandate and peanut have very different meaning from the rest of the world -
Our conclusions.
Until the old man dies. We singaporeans are just going to sit quiet out of respect for that old man who brought us our peace, freedom & stability.
And after that, we wont riot, cos we seen and know how that will ruin ourselves in the long run.
But the rest of those ministers are due to go down the graves like those stone warriers of 'Qin Shi Wang'. -
The problem is, he might outlive us all. Despots often live very long and healthy lives.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Our conclusions.

If we're lucky and he croaks fast, I can see a group of people breaking away from the PAP to form their own party. Then we will finally have a viable opposition. Our current opposition parties are too small and fragmented to do much. The change will have to come from within. -
back from lunch..
quite sleepy now.. -

i felt u shoot me AGAIN.... -_-" i am soon-to-be returned goods also leh....Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Sama Sama here lah.
The young ones are fascinated by older females, for the experience, for the confidence & for the thrill of a chase of someone above their agegroup peers, there is some form of respect they can garner from their peers if they are successful. Or it shows they are more 'mature' then their peers.
Plus no responsibility needed cos.....they are 'young & naive'! They are easily excused from any wrongdoings. And most likes to have just that extra time to be mollycoddled by a older g/f in place of their mothers.
But once they grow older, they will then find their older g/fs or wives nagging them to get married, have kids (Biological clock ticking issues) and will eventually come to their senses, gained their confidence & learn to attract the sweet young things.
I am worse then being not young. (I am returned goods. Divorced)
the thing is women our "category" better in a sense cos we prob dun want to get marry again thus won't nag! and bio clock oledi past midnite so want kids also cannot lah! -
Heh heh heh....I rather not discuss politics before I sleep. And not when I didnt have alcohol in me. heh heh heh....
I just discovered that the bed I sleep in has compartments underneath and my bro in law has some of his old clothes in the compartments. Which reminds of of the few t-shirts I ordered, bought & post them to my sis years ago.
They were Ministry Of Pets T-shirts. Ordered off a guy who does T-shirts in the Singapore Bikes Forums.
After I post them to my sis (them in their plastic bags still), then I discovered some misprint/multiple prints on the back of my t-shirts.
I called the office and got the gal who took the orders. Who told me in certain terms: That its a small business, they also discovered the mistake but is too late to rectify and have new items to replace their old items blah blah blah blah.
I did informed her. That my brother in law receiving the t-shirts is a quality assurance director of a company in USA. How embarassing it is for me to be sending him products that wont pass muster thru simple quality control?
her repy is still is: This is a small company and we do very competitive business.
Well, I had intentions to ordered more other t-shirts thru the company....and that kinda replies simply kills off any enthuism. Even when the guy/bozz of the company called me to ask me when I would place another order....I merely fob him off to say I am busy.
How to tell him that I was disappointed that his business is that small and dont do quality control and sending off bad goods and excusing themself because they are small? -
honestly?!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:How to tell him that I was disappointed that his business is that small and dont do quality control and sending off bad goods and excusing themself because they are small?

The problem with small business in Singapore.Originally posted by tare:honestly?!
Its mostly worked in and held together by family members or partner.
And being their own bozz makes some folks believes they live in their own world.
To shatter their world by any honest words might results in qurrals, arguments or outright break ups....and when the dust is still flying......anger will be targetted at the one being honest. HONEST! -
Yeah... just tell the fella straight in the face that you are totally disgusted with the quality of their goods and the quality of their customer service.
Tell them that you will tell all your friends to boycott the company and that their company will always remain small as a result of having a reputation for pissing off their customers.
And threaten to go to CASE if the fella still doesn't get the message. -
if their business is competitive and small, all the more they should do QC
are they telling you they are not interested in earning $$$?
-
Tell him that if his biz is small, the more he don't have excuse for shoddy work
How does he expect to expand if he can't even do something simple correctly
If he expects the customer to pay for his mistake, he can forget about building long-term biz relationships
Save for the moment but lose out in the long run -
I dun care about these things one. I alienated a whole bunch of people the last time I complained about the piss poor business ethics of this hi-fi shop. But its ok, they were never my friends to begin with, so no lossOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:The problem with small business in Singapore.

Well, I hold a slightly different minds. Maybe cos I already got over the 'soon to be returned goods phrase'; runs thru the 'Perception to be desperate cos divorced thus horny female phase'; huff & puffed down the bend 'sick, fat, unemployed phase' & lastly at the last lag of 'growing old; great to aim high, but struggling to age gracefully' phase.Originally posted by tare:i felt u shoot me AGAIN.... -_-" i am soon-to-be returned goods also leh....

Yes...there is still success stories of folks finding new love. But I rather be realistic and concentrate on living well first. -
*moans some more ............
stomach still so bloated ............ -
That was 4 years ago. I doubt I should bring it up now. His company is still around, just that he might not have known about the conversation I had with his gal.Originally posted by elindra:Tell him that if his biz is small, the more he don't have excuse for shoddy work

He probably thinks of me as a customer who only talk big about making new orders from him but never did follow up my words. And I didnt mind that.
Thanks for the support guys. I guess I have to try to PM him within these few days to confess about it.
And I do agree about building long term biz relationships means a lot of trust, customer service and having to make good your products even if you lose out a bit of money. I ordered from him cos he is a trusted fellow forumer. And it was kinda a put down when the gals comment makes me feel like stretching the friendship to not complaining honestly. -
actually i nvr see myself as a "returned good"... it's more like soon to be free again!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:Well, I hold a slightly different minds.

But to our society and my own mother.
