Haven't blogged in quite a while. I am struggling between if I should keep my life more privately or I should be more active on social medias. The ironic part is that these two contradict each other.

That aside, I talked to somebody I know recently. I used to view him as a friend and I used to share my concerns with him. He told me he always thought I seemed "desperate". I was shocked, I never know people view me this way. I did not realize how some of my words, actions or whatever it is would lead to such comment.


With a heavy heart, I realize, as mentioned in one of my previous posts- "You are not me". People will misunderstand, accuse and judge you no matter what. Only you know what's happening. This incident also made me realize how all these usually come from people who don't know you well. I felt more relieved now though, no point arguing with strangers, no point keeping such negativity in life. When people turn your weakness into a weapon against you, leave them and prove them wrong.


 I hope whoever who is experiencing similar accusations (no matter what that is) would feel better somehow after reading my short and random blog post. Have a nice day x
Hi guys, long time no see, I was busy with my internship work and now uni life. Today, I am going to recommend a dimsum place in Ipoh. No, it's not Foosan or Mingkok, it's a place called Chooi Yue. It's not going to super detailed, just photos and stuff.
大家好，废话不多说，今天我会推荐一个在怡保的点心楼，不是福山也不是明阁，它是翠月点心楼。此文没有写得很细腻，就只是照片和一些文字而已。
Tel: 016-534 5965/ 05-5417997
Operating hours: 7am onwards (usually they close around 2pm+) 
*They close on Thursdays 星期四休息哦
Address: 2 & 4, Tingkat Taman Ipoh 12, Taman Ipoh Selatan, 31400 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia

Regarding the parking, there is an alley right beside the shop and it's one-way so you are recommended to park your vehicle there. Another thing to pay attention is that please buy a parking coupon because you can kena saman very easily in that area.
泊车方面呢，点心楼隔壁就有个蛮宽大的巷子，是one-way的，大家可以泊车在那里。另外请记得买泊车的coupon，因为那一带非常容易中罚单。
The alley I mentioned is at the right side
巷子在右边
Please take note that they close on Thursdays.
星期四休息啊啊啊啊

Look at the fooooooooooooood.

Who would specially like this restaurant? 
谁会特别喜欢这间餐厅呢？
Everyone. I personally hate going "touristy" places but I really like this place cause you won't only see tourists there but also locals (those from Ipoh like me) will also pay a visit to this place. By the way, my non-Ipoh friends also love this place and they always mention about this place whenever they visit Ipoh.
大家吧，我个人很讨厌去“游客区”可是我很喜欢这个点心楼，因为去的怡保人也蛮多的，而且连我的外州朋友都很喜欢这个地方，而且他们每次都会提起说要去这个点心楼。

Is this price range okay?
价钱还行吗？
I think it's alright. Usually it's like RM20 plus per person. (This is just a rough idea of the price, it really depends on you and the people you are going with)
我觉得还行啊，一个人要给上20多块马币左右，就大概（因人而异）。

How is the environment?
环境如何？
The environment is fine. You will always get a seat there, it's either inside the restaurant (with air-con) or outside (not that hot in the early morning).
环境还可以，每次去都一定有位子坐，里面的话就有冷气，外面也不会很热（因为通常是早上摆而已）

Will I visit this restaurant again?
你会再回去这个餐厅吗？
Duh
*翻白眼*


 Everyone have different taste, preference, and opinion so what I wrote in this post might not apply to you but still, I hope it helped you in someway :)
每个人都有每个人的喜好和意见，所以我这里写的可能跟你想的不一样，可是还是希望你看了这一篇后，对你有一点帮助 :)

You never know how it feels until it happens to you.
You won't understand, and you will NEVER understand how it's killing me inside. 


Hi people, I have been inactive for so long due to my schedule (and infinity laziness). I can't believe my comeback blog post is actually something unpleasant. Unpleasant till a point that I got really mad and decided to write a blog post about it.

 My family members, especially my mum is a loyal fan of GOSHOP (the first TV shopping platform by ASTRO). She bought all kinds of kitchen essentials from there and all that were good memories until this happened to us recently.

 6/1/2017 

9:30 am - GOSHOP made a live broadcast for a product we like so my mum and I were quite excited for it. We decided to purchase online since they promoted that online buyers will be entitled with 5% discount (price after discount: RM179). 

Unfortunately, it still charged me the original price RM189 no matter how many times I try so I just call the hotline. 


10:07 -  I told the staff about the problem and he put me on hold for at least 10 minutes (at least). 


 After the wait, he finally came back and said "Um sorry Miss, I try to log in with my account and it showed the discount price. I also don't know what's wrong with your account" LOL okay maybe it's just our bad luck. The staff said he will cancel the order (cause initially we paid RM189 by card) and suggest us to select cash on delivery cause by selecting that option guarantee got discount. 


10:24 - Our call finally ended and he finally cancelled my order so I can reorder the whole thing again. I tried with my fastest speed and finally settle the whole order thing. I will be honest, GOSHOP is probably the shittiest online shop I have ever used. 
About 3 weeks after our online purchase, GOSHOP called my mum and say our order is delayed because of the shipping company GDex. 

I personally feel that this is quite irresponsible. This is like saying "Hey it's not our fault that the building is collapsing, it's the materials' fault". Okay la, maybe not that exaggerating but hello? Delay for so long but no compensation at all. Just a late phone call and that's all.

Today (1/2/2017) 
We finally got our items at the original price. I decided to call the customer hotline to ask and the staff just said "You got the original price cause you ordered at 10:35". 
DID I MENTION YOUR STAFF PUT ME ON HOLD AND COME BACK TELL ME THAT THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE ERROR ON MY MUM'S ONLINE ACCOUNT!?

DID I MENTION YOUR COMPANY TOOK ALMOST A MONTH TO SHIP THAT DAMN ORDER TO US!?

ALL I ASK IS A 5% AS MENTIONED AND DID YOU GUYS DO ANYTHING EFFICIENT AT ALL!?
Sadly, I was 5 minutes late as the broadcast ended at 10:30. I think it's really ridiculous that they still charge me the original price because:
  1. The staff used so much time putting me on hold 
  2. I already purchased it earlier and only reordering because of the unknown error that appeared on my mum's online account
  3. After wasting so much time, the staff can't even tell me what kind of problem my mum's online account is facing lol

I was SO ANGRY on the line but I still tried to explain the situation to the staff.  Wanna guess how the staff reply me? 
"I don't know what are you talking about...." I EXPLAINED THREE FUCKING TIMES AND HE HUNG UP ON ME. 
The last time I got so mad on the phone is because of SKYNET's horrible service. I can't believe it happened again, from a big company- ASTRO GOSHOP. 

I am honestly very disappointed. Yes, GOSHOP provides good deals and interesting products but the service is SHIT. Our family bought so many products from you guys, we have been so supportive but this is how you treat your customers.
 I will advise you to upgrade your online website and maybe put reminders like  "Dear customers, we don't guarantee that 5% discount so just call us to order. Don't waste your time browsing our shitty online store because if you face problems while using it, we most probably don't know why and won't be helpful :D"

Lastly, I am sorry for all the foul words and anger from this post. Maybe this is just my bad experience. I really hope there will be improvements in the future. If anyone encountered any bad experience with ASTRO GOSHOP before, do email/comment and share it with me.

The meaning of awkweird

/'ôkwird/
It is a word formation process called blending as it combines the first part of the word "awkward" and the final part of the word "weird". It means being awkward and weird at the same time. No, it's not an official word on any dictionary yet.
