Revelations
I scrolled through the pages
searching for the reason
reason for the cause
cause for your pain
Pain is subjective
but what is their objective?
hurting is addictive
but remember
you'll will be condemned

Hello!
Its been really long...
Anyway. Finally had the brains to blog stuff.
Few interesting things happened in the week...
1. I TOTALLY CRACKED MY LAPTOP SCREEN!!!
(explains why I havent been online for ages)
Was like WTF when it happened.
SUPER ridiculous!
I placed my thumb on the screen of my lappy and lifted it up with 1 hand.
Then I heard a loud crack... Obviously super duper shocked lah.
Scare the fking day and night lights out of me.
Not excatly the first time I cracked a screen ACCIDENTALLY.
Knew that it was going to be expensive to repair it.
NO ONE can imagine the fear of telling it to my parents lah!
Had nightmares and couldnt sleep well for a couple of nights.
I hyper-ventilate in the middle of the night. (yes it was that bad)
Went to sony to ask about the price to fix it and everything.
***WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAMME FOR A SPECIAL SLIP-CLIP
Since wisma(where sony was) was beside THE NEW ION ORCHARD, I went to kaypo abit la.
Strolled around the amazingly confusing-and hard-to-navigate place.
Ended up in the same part of the mall quite a few times.
Saw a few familiar shops.
Quick summary:
-LV has doors for crowd control as usual but this store seems more upscale than the one in taka.
-Chanel has adopted an open concept. Pretty shocking, thought they would be like LV to segregate the rich from the poor-peeps-just-browsing-or-even-worse-stealing.
-JustCavalli, OMG! Please do something to make your store stand out!!! I wouldn't even notice it is there if not because I was looking for signs that showed me the way to the washroom. I know its JC's standard fixtures and stuff. But considering the area of the store is extremely small and pretty bare, it will really be "eaten up" by the big sotres beside it.
-Sephora! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YOUR RENT MUST BE SUPER DUPER FKING HIGHHHHHH!!! Crazy huge! but so big also never put to good use! NEVER SELL BENEFIT!!! I ANGRY.
-Still tons of shops not opened yet.(including the food court-like wtfh)
-The regulars like topshop and river island(not opened) gets a piece of the big pie. Even fred perry has joined in with other international brands.(OMG! SO MATERIALISTIC!)
-Well to describe ion in a simple sentence would be "An upscale shopping haven that vagely reminds frequent shoppers of an upscale takashimaya would be like."
(makes me wonder if they are from the same company)
~the end~
BACK to sony.
*fastforward....
I was seated infront of this man, suspisciously gay, wearing a green shirt and spoke with a really weird, possibly fake accent, throwing disgusted looks at me as if I've commintted a mortal sin waiting for him to tell me the dire consequence and price that I have to pay for my lappy. Obviously I was shaking lah! ALOT worse than getting back my o lvl results since this concerened Ka-Ching, lots of it.
Finally the!@#$%^&* told me that this is not covered under warranty, which I knew beforehand, and I'd had to pay for it.(Doh')
Well, in my last futile effort of changing my fate(being pocket-money less for the next 3+++ months), I tried to explain that I find the screen cracking under the pressure of my thumb absurd! which I find perfetly reasonable to question the quality of my particular laptop. (They have crash test vids online to show how the laptop has been dropped at different heights without breaking, or getting their screen cracked - virtually harmless.) I told him how the screen had cracked and blah blah blah and guess what the bastard said. well, sth like that...
"I know you are upset but our company has to make sure that we explain it to the customers that damages that are done by physical damage will not be covered under warranty" I showed signs of getting ready to protest but he cut me off and continued. "Furthermore, these kind of things wont just spoil like that and ONLY THE USER THEMSELVES WILL KNOW EXCATLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO IT." And cast me a dirty look.
WAHHHH I TELL YOU!!!
I was so enraged by what he said I almost wanted to stand up and strangle him.
Super pissed off.
In case you guys misunderstand:
Firstly, I wasnt pissed off cause he didnt want to hear me out or help me.
Second, fyi, BLAMING the innocent is the number 1 sin in my book.
bloody hell! In case you havent realised dude! IM THE DAMN CUSTOMER!
SECOND!!! I'M NOT 10! and therefore MUCH smarter than you think I am to pass whatever you said off as cursing me under your breath(although I know you did)
AND IN WHAT DAMNIT POSITION ARE YOU IN TO FREAKING ACCUSE ME OF FUCKING LYING TO YOU?
Hired a P.I on me is it? Time-travelled and saw what happened?
You should be glad that you didnt cause I'll freaking SUE you for that is the BLOODY TRUTH!
To think that I was trying to be honest with my fav company and trying to be reasonable.
SCREW YOU! ASSHOLE!!! Though Im pretty sure it has been done.
SUCKER!!!!!
*fastforward... STORMED off after that.
-------------------------------
Finally, I was able to tell my mum which told my dad in the end.
didnt get a scolding but got a warning though.
Which was REALLY GREAT and EXTEREMLY RARE!
Suppose they finally sensed my remorse and regret and let go of me. :D
Really grateful now gazing lovingly at the glaring screen I usually despised.
phew.....
btw, fyi, the com was fixed at 500++ bucks.
k. gtg. have more things to say but will stop for now. its like almost 5 in the morning!!! :o
