Glad Yet Pissed

Thursday, February 28th, 2008


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

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008


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.

Brooksland Motors Sdn Bhd

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

Monday, February 25th, 2008


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.
