So disappointed with ColdStorage Presentation

Pre-Ordered Honey Baked Ham from ColdStorage this X'mas but was disappointed with the presentation. I wasn't told that the Honey Baked Ham of 1 kg does not come with a box. When I collected it at the ColdStorage what they did was they took the Honey Baked Ham just like the counter purchased ham, pre-packed and put it into a plastic bag and handed it to me. I would ask for a box but they didn't even offer if I would like a box to be placed in it. Was so disappointed with the way they presented the Honey Baked Ham I ordered without a box at all.

My comment here is if it doesn't come with a box, wouldn't it be nice that I be informed about it? Is this the service ColdStorage presents to their customers? I have always trusted ColdStorage for its service but was disappointed to learn this is what they can do. If the Honey Baked Ham of 1 kg does not come with a box then how am I going to give it away as a gift? Lucky I am giving the Honey Baked Ham as a gift to someone who doesn't really mind without box. Another thing, if it doesn't come with a box at all, what for pre-order from them? I might as well get it from a counter as cut ones or even the whole piece. After eating it, I didn't find any difference from the picnic ham either. Can't even taste the honey! Guess.... next year can don't order from ColdStorage already coz makes no difference... save my money for a better X'mas Log Cake and it will not come from ColdStorage.

Christmas Eve

Ok... Christmas Eve at work was half a day. Although no official declare but guess that my boss didn't have a choice either coz the bus company tag to with other company leave at specific time and no special arrangement after that.

Boss left early to go somewhere for a meeting. I gave her a small gift after struggling what is a practical gift to give her. As you can see... I am just complex... just hard to explain it. Anyway, I just didn't want to settle for a Ferro Rocher chocolate for a gift. Besides, someone else have given her that so ... can't repeat that, though it is a gift that counts. Not sure did she open it to see but when I pass by her office she seem to be very happy .. surprise to see my Christmas gift for her at her desk. She even gave me a hug.... I find that wierd though coz I never get hugs from bosses before but never the less... it feels very comforting just like a family feeling ... like my cousins and Aunties from my father's side; we too always give hugs to show we love each other.

So what did I buy? Working in a Petrochemical area, fire is a threat...if you can call that... so I bought her a Aroma Therapy that looks like have flame but it runs on battery and can even use the USB to give it light. No need to add water but have a so called absorbent so that you can add the kind of oil you want. Not really expensive but meaningful though. I even bought one for myself. Oh yeah... as I was saying Petrochemical... can't light up the fire there so this Aroma Therapy would be good... looks like fire but not "fire" and you can even have the kind of oil you want.. helps to ease your stress. Cool right? Besides, you can even blow it out!

This was bought the night before Christmas Eve. I don't usually go shop during Christmas Eve. The reason being... the whole of Singapore people all shop during this time. so CROWDED ... just hate crowds coz just slow slow slow... None the less.. I got through the crowded and messy shopping mall.
