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.

Am I a Sucker for being good

Sigh... good people never have good ending! So am I a sucker for being good? Well, it does seem so to me! The things I do for people end up being stupid myself! People think otherwise and jump into conclusion that I am "the bad" guy. Sigh... at times like this, I wish to give up trying so hard to fight the battle. Fighting a loosing battle seems so discouraging. What can I say?

Trip to Bangkok

After 2 years or may be more of not travelling, I thought this time would plan ahead and make this trip a fruitful on.

Bangkok have always been known for the cheap shopping and eating. Sigh... but this time round I think otherwise. I bring a my son to Bangkok for the first time. It was his first trip away from home and thought it would be fun for him. Yeah it sure fun for him but HELL for me coz he keep on disobedient; running around and not wanting to hold hands. Sigh... frastration .... and my older girl didn't help to ease the pain. Instead create more frastration then ever. Arghhhhh...

Ok I thought of buying and buying ... but end up shopping and shopping and never bought much. Why? Things there isn't all that cheap! May be a dollar or two cheaper then where I am staying but not like really dirt cheap where I can buy many back. Sigh... disappointed ... Still, thought I can enjoy tons of good food but miss the Thai seafood in which I didn't get to. The one which we used to go to, have gone ka putt (run out of business). However, we did enjoy the Japanese food and other food at MBK especially the fish maw soup. Yum ... yum...

Next time go there again? I'd think twice.

What is popular this time is handbags! Kids clothes.... don't ever think you can find it in Pratunam nor much at all in Pa Pong. MBK, more baby clothes then todler clothes and still not as cheap but compare with Pa Pong, MBK may be a place to consider buying from in the end. Went to R&D Fashion at the City Complex at Pratunam thinking of buying a nice dress for myself but there ain't any I like and disappointed, they hardly have any dresses in their shop there too :(.
