Legend of the Guardians
There has been some publicity about the new animated movie, Legend of the Guardians which talks about some owls trying to fight off another group of evil owls. Whenever, I see the publicity posters at GV, I will always tell BC, 'This one looks like Eden. This one looks like Titus and that one looks like Simba'. Hahaha. Being a bo liao me, I decided to put their pictures side by side.

As we age and seen more shitting happening around, do we tend to 看开? Like we try to not be bothered by things or people even thought it is frustrating? In my short 1 month employment in the current company, my policy has always been to stay out of trouble and just lie low. But somehow, no matter what I do, 小人 who are everywhere will tend to come to you and irritate the shit out of you. Specifically 2 person in the company has fallen into this category, always bootlicking and trying to protray their capabilities in front of the bosses. My conclusion about this 2 person is they are YOUNG, both in age and mentally. Young that they want to climb the corporate ladder because they are driven but also scheming that they will do what they can to be seen as the most capable of the lot and perhaps backstabbing people in the process.
Well, I just want to do my job, get my pay and go home and rest and spend time with my family and cats, so I do not want to think too much about them. Yes, during the course of work, I still get frustrated and angry and that's because I am human. But at the end of the day, I will just let it go.......... I think I have reached enlightenment. Haha

So many many many..........
There are a few beauty blogs that I frequently view to see the latest range of products of major cosmetics brands and also to pick up some makeup skills here and there (this area is something which I have failed miserably as I do not think my makeup skills has improved). What really amazes me about these bloggers is that they always have the latest launched products! How the hell did they get them? Which brings me to the next question, how much money do they have exactly???? Most of these products are seriously not cheap and 3 items easily cost up to S$150 and they do not just have 3 items, it's like the full range!

God has eyes!
After the horrible incident with the crazy taxi driver on Sunday, Comfort called me yesterday evening and inform me that they have terminated this driver, yeah! Being the curious me, I asked the officer who called me why is it that they were able to take action against this driver so quickly since my previous complaints usually take longer. Truth and behold, this guy has records and thus the company do not see the need to issue him warnings and proceed to just immediately terminate him.
So uncle, you said we treat you as a beggar right? Now we will MAKE you a beggar!!!!

Yesterday, together with 700+ pairs of couple, my 2nd sister also had her ROM with her beau at The Legends. It was a small affair with only 30 immediate family members and good friends and happiness is beaming from the pores of my sister's face, hahaha. So happy for her but I was super paiseh because we were like 10 mins late because we met a crazy taxi driver who gave us so much problem just to drive us up to The Legend and EVERYONE was waiting for us to arrive so they can start the ceremony!!!! WTF!
You can see below for the formal email complaint that I lodged to ComfortDelgro this morning (we have actually called LTA and Comfort yesterday to complain over the phone and we also lodged a police report on this)
To whom it may concern,
Further to my complaint lodged over the telephone with an officer, Richard yesterday at around 1.45pm and telephone feedback to LTA, this is a formal written complaint that I am lodging against driver of CityCab Sonata SHC7496X.
My husband and myself flagged the above-mentioned taxi along Clementi Ave 5 (in front of a Shop n Save) yesterday at around 11.25am and informed the Chinese driver that our destination is The Legends at Fort Canning.
When the taxi reaches Fort Canning at around 1150am, the driver who is unfamiliar with the roads there was unable to find The Legends. As we were in a rush to attend a wedding ceremony starting at 12 noon, I asked him why is he not using the GPS map system that I know all Comfort and CityCab taxis have. He got frustrated with my question but did not reply.
Eventually, we found the entrance to The Legends and directed him in. However, he was hesitant to go in as we see some renovation going on. I requested for him to drive in and drop us at the entrance as it was already 12noon and the wedding ceremony is starting, he raised his voice at us claiming that he is trying to help us and I do not have to feel frustrated towards him. We asked him to stop the cab immediately near the entrance of The Legends and the taxi fare came to a total of $12. As I am already in a hurry, I placed 2 $10 notes on his armrest expecting $8 change. He turned to us and claimed that we threw money at him and he is not a beggar. He continued to raise his voice and shouted at us when we told him that we only wanted our change back. As he kept shouting at us, we had to raise our voice as well to get his attention. He turned aggressive by removing his seat belt and reached for things near his seat and we feared that he is looking for weapon to harm us, and we quickly got off the cab 1st ( taxi fare has not been made at this point in time because he was still shouting at us and not accepting our payment). He got off the cab as well and continued shouting at us and took pictures of me and my husband with his mobile phone. His behavior was very aggressive with the intention of getting into a fight with my husband. We decided that it would be safer for us to leave 1st even if we had not paid our fare as he was not willing to accept our payment. After walking away for 10 steps away from the driver, my husband turned and walked towards him with the 2 $10 notes and he eventually accepted the payment and gave us our $8 change. Before he left, he challenged us to lodge a complaint against him.Given his aggressive behaviour and him taking pictures of us using his mobile phone (which we do not know what he will do with the pictures) we have lodged a police report immediately after he left and followed up with a formal report and statement taking at Orchard police centre along Killiney Road after the wedding ceremony ended at around 2.15pm for our own safety.
Given the aggressive nature and unprofessional behaviour of the driver (shouting at customers even while we were paying our payment to him for his service and taking our pictures without our permission), we trust that your company will make immediate investigations on this driver and take necessary disciplinary actions against him to maintain the service quality of the drivers under ComfortDelgro.
I look forward to hearing from your company on the outcome of the investigation at 9xxx xxxx (my mobile number).
Best regards,
Ruby Chua
This driver is crazy, I tell you!!!!! BC was saying he must be having some ego problem thinking that he is 低声下气 being a taxi driver that's why he kept saying that we treat him as a beggar. Uncle, you not happy, don't drive ok????? Don't go along fucking people up when they are in a hurry and take people's picture ok???? *他妈的*

Why why why
I have always wondered why we are asked to put up the window shades when a plane takes off or landing and courtesy of WikiAnswers, I finally know why.........
Quoted from WikiAnswers:-
The reason why they want all shades up is because, airlines rely on passenger's vision of the whole outer aircraft. The only people who can see the engines and what happens in the surroundings, are their passengers. Crew who are seated at their crew seats, will not be able to see a whole lot of the plane's exterior. And obviously, planes do not have rear view or side view mirrors.
Thinking from a passenger's point of view, if you see something wrong going on outside, you would panic and call for the flight attendant immediately. Right? So that is how, flight crew would be alerted if anything goes wrong: by the passengers.
As for closing them at night, it differs with airlines. Most major airlines (SIA, MAS, Cathay pacific, Qantas) would still ask you to have it remain open, but they will turn off the cabin lights. (I actually don't know which airlines would ask you to close the shade as it is a safety procedure) Same thing, when you turn off the lights, you would be able to see the outside of the plane and report for anything that goes wrong.
Also, in any case of emergency, you will know not to go to the side with fire, or submerged into water by looking out the nearest window.
