Mixed feelings

28th January 2011, Friday

Another meet up session with Ah Tard. Oh man, I guess she's famous for being Ah Tard. I even have friends who called her Ah Tard directly in my msn. We had lessons in the morning, it's just so tiring. As usual, we cancelled all the afternoon schedules for this meetup. Wow, sound like some busy woman suddenly. In fact, we were damn free most of the time. It's the most truthful comment.

When 1230 strucked, I ran out of the ctr immediately without further hesitation. I'm in a big rush to meet my darling. I boarded 190 and picked the front seat. The one right behind the driver where you got to face the wall. I deliberately picked that auspicious seat so that I could close my eyes and rest in peace. Else, I'll be sitting right behind with eyes on me when I sleep.

Unfortunately, I'm not born a sleeping beauty. My asleep look can be sort of unglamourous.

Who knows?

I might just drool once in a while.

*Just kidding*

Ah Tard love me the most. It was drizzling, eh eh no, it's raining actually. I had no umbrella and Ah Tard walked from Somerset to Heeren's bus stop just to pick me up. It's like a mother picking up children from school. Too bad, I'm not really an umbrella person. I hate heavy bag and I dislike folding umbrella. It's just damn irritating especially when the umbrella was wet. Ah Tard was my saviour for the day.

We wanted to sing @ kbox for the day. Well, our kala card was about to expire. Since it's free, we intended to had the last session before Chinese New Year. Our plan for the day was to smuggle fries and drinks into the room. So we stocked up at 7-eleven or Cheers (Forgotten what it was). We patronized Best Fries Forvever.

Oh I nearly typed Best Friends Forever.

Best Friends Forever eating Best Fries Forever.

Sound good, isn't it?

We went to the Kbox at Scape. Holy great, Kbox pissed us off again. As usual, they enjoyed irritating us. It's either they slammed the door on us, displayed terrible attitude or cocky face that you can't resist slapping on. We were so red with anger that we no longer felt like communicating with them any further.

Hey hey, this is not about COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN.

There wasn't any communication going on.

I called this CHEAT.

It's as good as cheating your loyal patrons.

And yeah, FUCK YOU then.

Let me share with you what's going on out there just in case you are clueless.

Kala Card

Yann and I purchased Kbox's Kala Card. We thought we were frequent patrons, so we decided to purchase it since there's an offer going on. They had this stupid promotion that Starhub's user would get a $3 discount off for the card. They just verbally asked Tard and me without verifying. I mean they should have checked the billing record, or even contact number.

They just randomly said that no discount for M1 user. I mean what if the customer knew about this long ago and claimed to be a Starhub's user to get the discount. It's just so unfair. They should have considered about this.

It was later on when we both visited Lot 1 outlet, we were told that the Kala Card was meant to be a member card. It's just so Whathafuck. This was as good as incurring extra cost for the people who were already Kbox member. Poor Tard ended up having 2 member cards which was so pointless. Fortunately, we enjoyed our time at Lot1 outlet. Although there were yes(s) and no(s) at times, but there were polite afterall. Basic greeting and advise, rather than slamming of doors and shutting us behind the wall as if we were non-existing. Lot1 outlet were times better, and it's brand new.

Kala Card's promotion was supposed to end on the 31st January 2011. It's only the 28th on our visit. The staff shamelessly told us that it was festive season, so we weren't allowed in when WE PAID FOR THE PACKAGE.

Are you able to feel the rage now?

We were damn angry over it. We looked at each other speechlessly, wondering whathafuck was that. It's freaking ridiculous. I found their words insensible and senseless.

Festive Season?

Like how?

Yes, we knew that Chinese New Year was around the corner. So what? It's in February and it's January now. It's still a week away from it. They shamelessly told me that Kala Card is not acceptable from 21st January 2011.

What's the logic here then?

I called this bully and cheating.

They tried to persuade us into taking Happy Hours. Oh, I don't mind paying, money is not a problem but moral and integrity. Happy Hours starts from 2 - 7pm.

Guess what?

The staff said we were only allowed in till 4pm and it's already 1 plus almost 2pm.

She then suggested taking Lunch Package instead.

So we asked her what time it ended. She told me 3pm only.

It's about 2pm only, and she expected us to end at 3pm.

What does that mean?

It mean, we'll have to SING, EAT AND DRINK within and hour.

It's not our first time patronizing Kbox, we knew how snail (I mean slow) they were/are. They easily took 1 hour to serve a drink or 2 hours to serve a dish. Even when you told them the microphone was down, it gonna took 45 minutes before they came to your rescue when there were little customers. A simple request to change a room gonna take a day. Basically a day was never enough. They can't be bothered. If I were you, moving over to another room on your own could be much more faster.

They made us so angry that we suffered terrible headache. We went to Sakae Sushi instead so as to finish our fries. We knew that no outside food were allowed, but we need a good spot to finish our food too. Apparently, there were no customer in the restaurant. We asked for a back seat and we were told that they were reserved. Mmm, well, no idea who made the reservation. No one I guess.

Ghost?

Oh, that's creepy.

Upon sitting down, an ant crawled across the table. The surprised me exclaimed loudly without realising the manager was about to serve us stood beside me.

"Eh, got ant lei!!!"

The manager used his bare finger, pressed the ant to death and took it away.

WTH???

Haha.

The guilty us were hiding our fries with cups, soya sauce and plates. We were so afraid that they might confiscate our food. Obviously, our fries were well-protected. It looked as if it's been surrounded by an army.

Anyway, the staff and manager were awared that we smuggled outside food in. They were watching us closely, but they did not confiscate our food. Tard and I were so paranoid that we started Bbm-ing each other on the phone. The tension was really strong at the moment.

Aiya, my hair has not seasoned. Mmm, it should be seasoned by CNY. I requested to cut it really layers and thin this time round. As you know, my hair is really black and thick. It grows really fast like green bean plant. Trust me, give it a month or less, you gonna see it big again. Haha.

We played pool forsaking Kbox, that hopeless creature. We were irritated by surrounding tables. They had 4 to 6 people at a table and it's just so hard to "excuse" them. We changed table for 3 times in total and we played for 4 hours. We were just so awesome this time round.

It's a happening day, I guarantee you.

We bought Nachos combo and happily set off to our 7.15pm movie.

Wrong Tickets, Wrong Timing

We went into Theatre 1 and realised that our seats were taken and the movie had already started when it's only 7pm. We sensed something fishy and went out of the theatre immediately. Upon exiting the theatre, we realised that our tickets stated 4.10pm.

What the hell???

We asked for 7.15pm tickets and paid with Nebo Card. The staff even repeated it once or twice that it's 7.15pm, The Green Hornet.

How the hell did the tickets ended up stating 4.10pm?

*Rub rub* 

*Spit saliva*

Eh eh, it's magic.

The tickets turned into a 4.10pm ticket.

What a miracle!!!

IT'S NOT MAGIC OF COURSE!!!

The in-charge approached us, it was then we were told that there might be some mistakes and miscommunication. 

Yann exclaimed...

Are we really that jinx mah?

In my mind, I thought to myself...

Quite actually, predictable.

*Disappointed*

Unfortunately, we had this bull living in us. Never tried to psycho a bull, because it's not going to work. The in-charge tried to persuade us into watching other movies. I just said "No". I wanted to watch The Green Hornet, why should I change. Yann and I stated very clearly that if there wasn't any Green Hornet for us, we wanted refund for not just the tickets but the 2 Nachos Combo as well; plus, we'll never take front seats, not even the 4th row from the front that the in-charge had suggested.

The in-charge sensed our bull temper totally. She immediately got us tickets for The Green Hornet.

Not the 2D one, but the 3D one.

Wow, we weren't that unfortunate afterall.

PLUS IT'S FREE!!!

Guess how much we each paid for the movie ticket?

It's $6.

6 bucks only as I'm a Nebo member.

The 3D movie cost $12 per person.

Isn't that a great deal?

Awesome moment.

We watched The Green Hornet and I rated it 4.5 popcorns.

Satisfied totally.

We went to chill out at T.G.I Friday beside Heeren.

It's neither a restaurant, not really actually.

Nor a bar, not really actually.

I had no idea what it was. Haha, I prefered to call it a restaurant and bar. More appropriate.

Mango and Strawberry Magaritas.

We walked all the way to 7-Eleven for poker cards. We entertained ourselves by talking nonsense and gambling for the next few hours. Trust me, you got to love gambling. It's the best entertainment. Haha.

We were so obedient to take a Night Rider home this time round. No more cab rides home, we were learning to control. We talked and crapped all kind of nonsense till we were both reluctant to leave. What a happy day!

Have a nice day.

Good night.

Cheers,
