Glad Yet Pissed
Glad because they might extend my contract for another 6 months, which means I don’t have to look for job yet.
Pissed because of the way it is handled. And best of all, she wouldn’t admit that it is her mistake for not telling me first before agreeing.
I’m pretty sure my blood pressure increases tremendously right now which in turn contributes to my stress…
So, what do you do to release anger? I need some tips which do not create much commotion..
Citroën Service Centre
Over the weekend, I sent my sister’s car, Citroën Xsara Picasso, to Brooklands Motors Sdn Bhd for a routine service. It is situated along Jalan Chan Sow Lin in Kuala Lumpur.
The building is pretty big and looks pretty good from outside. In the building, there are service centre, showroom and customer lounge (a hangout place for customers whose car is in for servicing or repairing job). The furniture in the building are well equipped with lavish designs and red sofas (same colours as their logo). Pretty impressive, I would say.
However, there’s one thing that I’m not satisfied with at all; that is their customer service. They are a bunch of dumbwits, to begin with. They don’t bother to smile. They don’t bother to look at their customers during conversation. They can’t converse properly. They will make you wait without any proper explanations. Even Hyundai provides a better service than they (Brooklands) do even though Hyundai does not have the funds/budgets for any cool buildings to accommodate their customers’ needs.
As far as I know, Toyota (in Puchong) as well as Mercedes Benz (in Petaling Jaya) provide good services. They too have the same concept as Citroën (nice building, customer lounge, free drinks, free WiFi connection etc.) but I just don’t understand why Citroën could not provide a good service to their customers. It does not reflects to their brand as an international continental car maker. Perhaps, it is due to their stupid management and their stupid Service Manager who is not capable of managing his staffs. Maybe, Citroën should cancel Brooklands’ appointment as the ‘Sole Importer & Dsitributor’ in Malaysia and give it to more deserving candidate. I bet there are others who could do a better job than they do.
BK in Bangsar
Yeap. You got it right. Burger King along Jalan Telawi 5 in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur is closed for business. Not sure whether it shifted to a new location or closed for good.
The nearest location will be inside Mid Valley Megamall shopping complex.
‘Break Up’ Leave
I can’t stop laughing at this:
It says that a company in Japan is offering ‘break up’ leave to their staffs so that those parties involved would be given time to heal their wounded heart. Besides, the number of leaves given is proportional to the age of the worker; i.e. those 24 years old or less are given a day off while those at the age of 25 to 29 years old are given 2 days off while higher than that are given 3 days off.
The reason behind the number of days given is because there is higher chance for younger women to look for ‘replacement’ while the older ones are harder to find a date.
First, there was Friendster.
Then, Multiply came out.
After two successful web services, MySpace became popular.
And now, Facebook is making its impact. Damn.. Everybody is talking about Facebook. Everybody is asking for Facebook contact rather than phone numbers now. And almost everybody is spending more time in Facebook than in my blog. :P
However, if you are using Wordpress engine for your blog and have a Facebook account, checkout this plug-in. It is called Wordbook. What it does is to link/feed your posts to your Facebook account. So, your viewers in your Facebook will know what is the latest post in your blog.
Go ahead, try it… I’m using it right now.
