The Styke’s Times

Waraku Bad Service!

Posted in Logs by Styke on February 28, 2007

My stomach was growling before Jo came to save my day!

She picked me up by a cab, went down to Central. Yup, Central… the new mall at Clarke Quay. It’s a very new mall, with I think 50% of the shops still in construction. The structural layout of the mall is very weird, feels a little tight.

We had our dinner at Waraku. They serve good Japanese food, and we got ourselves a great seat. From there you can view the whole stretch of Clarke Quay.

So I was looking around the restaurant, checking out the people. I saw this woman in her early 20s, dressed in both black spaghetti top and super short skirt. She’s walking up and down along the way. I thought she’s looking for a seat. Then I saw her with a tag or something. The next moment she went to a counter to get the whole ice water flask and started serving it. Her ‘uniform’ stands out from her colleagues. Even the manager doesn’t need to be so scantily clad (and the manager looks prettier too).

Back to food. So everyone’s food came it, except mine. That’s fine but when I received my food. I’m really disappointed. It’s not HOT! It’s like it’s left on the desk for 30mins. We told them about it and Angelia said, “I’m really sorry about it, I’ll change a new one for you”

That’s more like it.

They brought it back, this time with ’smoke’ coming out of it. They really did brought it back, the FREAKING same one. I still can see the hole that I made in the middle of the rice. Maybe I look too dumb to be able to differentiate NEW and SAME.

Utterly disappointed. If you’re going to reheat just say so, don’t say change a new one.

Angered

Just a gentle reminder, I’ll still be posting here until things are done in FreeTXP.

I’m feeling angry, annoyed and unappreciated! It’s really getting on my nerves because I hate to stay at home for such a long time. When they need me they ask me, if not, fuck off. I feel I did a great job in getting their website up and within a short time frame too.

How silly of me, since I have finished it, they need me no more. That is, till they have further resources for me to load it up. May be I am not matured enough to accept this first time of being ‘fired’. Yet, to a certain extent, I do understand that it’s like this. This is but a taste of the real world.

He just called me up to get back to work on 2nd March. Main purpose there is to attend a meeting. I feel like telling NO! I should be glad that he asked me to work the whole day instead of just a few hours for the meeting isn’t it?

Back at home, Dad would say,”Pok Tao Lor ah? Your company don’t want you ah?” Damned, like I’m so delighted to forced to take this shitty leave. Shut up if you got nothing nice to say.

Fuck!

TXP Stands For TextPattern

Posted in F.Y.I by Styke on February 25, 2007

Remember the FreeTxp that I mentioned few posts back?

Yeap! It’s finally activated. Waited a whooping 3 months, but it seems worth it after all. All thanks to ikebowen for hosting the site.

TextPattern I believe… well it is, a very powerful CMS. After reading a few sites, kind of understanding how it all works. But, getting my own design out might take a longer time than expected.

I’ll be posting and working on that site so, please divert to styke.freetxp.com
