Imagine this: you work at Sakae Sushi. One afternoon, a customer signals you to take his/her order, and the request turned out to be, “can we have the soft-shell crab temaki, sashimi, unagi chawanmushi, and Hot Men?”
I was out with chocobo today, and we happened to have the tea buffet over at Wheelock’s Sakae Sushi outlet. Of course this being a buffet, it involved an intense jamming of food down my throat, to cover the cost of the buffet (I shall not go into the specifics as to how many plates we ate though…). We asked for the bill, and as I checked the order list I found something very amusing:

I’m just wondering, what if customers do get what they want (literally) by ordering that o.o!

Chocobo tried to use the birthday voucher for the tea buffet, and apparently the voucher is not applicable to buffet meals. This I totally don’t understand! If I get a complimentary voucher for my birthday for being a member, yet I cannot use it on buffets; what if I happen to be celebrating it with friends by having a BUFFET? From what I see, if such an issue arises, it’s going to deal damage to their customer relations, leaving customers displeased. Shouldn’t they earn more if the discount voucher is used to pay for a cheap buffet, rather than a huge à la carte spread?
We decided to fill in a comments-form, with yours truly helming the written comment/suggestion. I can’t remember what I wrote exactly, but it goes something along the lines of: “I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY BIRTHDAY VOUCHER CANNOT BE USED ON A TEA BUFFET MEAL, SINCE IT IS A BELATED CELEBRATION. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE, AND I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED.” (Yes I wrote it in CAPS)
I know we’re being really bitchy, but it is still within our role as a customer to question. If it really were a birthday celebration, an issue like this would be one hell of a mood-damper. Why be nice anyway? Aren’t they supposed to be marketing and building effective customer relations?

After last thursday’s Biz Comp paper, and last sat’s Accounting paper, I am currently halfway through my exams, leaving 2 more papers. Biz Comp catalysed the “resign-to-fate syndrome” in all of us, and accounting literally took us into the disease, wholesale. What a bitch of a paper! This is the first time I’ve come across a question that required me to form up a cash budget, through value-comparison and observation of transactions from a balance sheet and income statement; this means I’m practically coming up with the cash flow statement, only difference being that I do not produce a statement, but use the values to determine the cash budget. I shall let heaven decide my fate…
As such, I can almost surely say that I’m currently in GAGA mode. No this has nothing to do with Lady GaGa (although she rocks). I’m just cranky I guess, so cranky that a gummy bear song actually cracks me up like a mental patient.

I’m a jelly bear, cause I’m a gummy bear~ *repeat chant*

Ever since I fell sick weeks ago, my running regime crumbled into dust, and i would do at most 1 run a week that spreads no more than 10km.
A miracle happened just from 9.30-11.30pm. I managed to complete my 20+km in the usual 2hrs cap! Hopefully things start off from here so I can be ready for Sundown 42.
I shall attribute my regained standard to the music I blast while running. Seriously, remixes ROCK! Your momentum chants along to the beat of the mix, your mind drifts off in a sing-a-long to your favourite hits, and before you know it you pass km after km like a stroll in the park.
Some of the remixes I’m currently digging big time:
1) Come Back To Me (Tony Moran & Warren Wiggs Remix)
2) Jai Ho! (Big Kids Lah! Mardi Gras Tribal Slumpdog Reconstruction)
3) Long Distance (Jody Den Broeder Club Mix)
4) Love Etc (Pet Shop Boys Mix)
5) Love Story (Digital Dog Remix)
6) My Life Would Suck Without You (DJ VNO Rework Remix)
7) Poker Face (Jody Den Broeder Remix)
8) Takin Back My Love (Moto Blanco Club Remix)
9) Tattoo (Jason Nevins Mix)
10) I Hate This Part (Digital Dog Radio Edit)
The list just goes on so I’ll just give 10. In fact I have more than one remix of some of the songs playing back-to-back like Utada’s ‘Come Back to Me’, Kelly Clarkson’s ‘My Life Would Such Without You’ and Enrique Iglesias’ ‘Takin Back My Love’.
