Shortly after i posted the previous post i rmb what it was i wanted to blog about. It wasn't something The Mum said but rather how NTUC(i govt linked org) can fail at its signs. There was a sign saying buy 1 get 1 free(which is poor english already actually) for a range of dettol shower gel. Thinking it applied across the range i chose the one that didnt sound like it would sound weird but lo and behold, at the check out counter it didnt work. The cashier then informed us how the offer only applied to the other kind, which i didn't choose because it said it has ginseng extract and like hell i wanna smell like a chinese herb. She said we took the wrong while. While i was about to answer sarcastically(yes to an old lady im mean alright) i got cut off. I was about to say "Sorry hor auntie shi ni men de sign xie de bu qing bu chu." I got cut off at sorry hor and was technically forced to make an apology i didnt intend to give. But she's just an old auntie so i nothing to say.
Today i had to make 2 phone calls. 1st call i made to ntu finincial assiatance asking about the terms and conditions of ntu's bursary and how i was gonna get informed of the buddhist lodge bursary if i wasn't even in school yet. She gave me some vague answer that i didnt really get. I then asked her what happens if i accept ntu's bursary can i accept another one and return ntu's. Aka i was asking specifically about ntu's bursary. Somehow she didnt get it and kept asking me to read the terms and conditions carefully. Xiao jie I'm asking you about NTU's terms and conditions cos what you provide online is appaling. Talk about pek cek. Had to ensure she wasn't offended by my tone in the end cos she had my ic no. and name. Suck thumb. Thats 2 apologies i didnt wanna give.
Normally im very nice to customer service officers but singtel's rules pissed me off. This was the 2nd call i had to make. First time i called it was cut off cos i entered the tunnel going towards lavender. Nvm go tunnel not their fault. 2nd time i called i made it all the way to "what's your NRIC and name for verification". I asked me or the subscriber they say subsriber. So i gave my dad's name and NRIC no. or my memory. They then said only the subsriber himself can cancel. I said that's lame because by right an sms should suffice but cos the service sucks i couldn't. As if when i sms its the subscriber sending it. So nvm i said i'll call back. I just called back straight n pretended i was my dad and wala done. Take that stupid singtel. Need actual subscriber to reduce my bill. Stupid rule. I bet if i wanted to sign up for something it doesn't need to be the actual subscriber. This time no need suck thumb.
Thankfully all these couldn't spoil my day cos i got my threadless shirts today. Kena gan by The Mum again for buying 5 but she scolds me whenever i buy anything so after so many years i've chosen to ignore her. Sadly my day's not gonna end so well. Today is one day i wish i really couldn't walk(temporarily of cos) haizzz..
;cause I missed you again at 2:24 pm
