Review - Kajang Wedding Card

It's been a while I did not write..I just finished 2 papers of my final examinations and have another one to go..phew~~ pray that this semester would finish fast as I need some time for myself.. T_T

Specifically, this post is for a review of my wedding card produced by Kajang Wedding Card Sdn Bhd..it's located at jalan besar kajang in front of the bus station..Well, my fiancee and I decided to have their service as they offered an affordable price of card when we went to the festival pengantin early this year..Yes, typical festival pengantin..there were so many offers and we took this one since it was closer to my home and I pretty liked the design..actually, it's a quite common design as I received a lot my friends' wedding card with the same design..During that time, I was offered with 3-folded card's envelope with embossed at one side of it, printed envelope and 2 free buntings..Actually, buntings were not really my concern as I didnt plan to have it at all but as it was offered, I thought it's an added value..

Later we went to their shop and discussed about the card and finalized everything.. I was so happy and relief that one step is done..few days later, I received a call from them telling that the card that I ordered costs higher than the offer (as in its a different offer)..and there were some arguments and I was left with two options; stick with the design but higher cost OR change the design..I was in the car with my mother at that time..and she quite pissed off about that as she felt that once you offered something, it's not nice to simply tell your customer to change it due to your own drawback..it just somehow showed that u r trying to cheat your customers..but I decided to tolerate with that and proceed with different design..then again, my fiancee and I went to their shop to get the new design and finalize everything..

Few weeks later, I received a call from them again..I was so excited that maybe the cards were ready..but to my surprise..that was not a call that I expected as they told me that the embossed was impossible due to the printing line that was not in line with the emboss stamp..here were the conversations;

KWC: cik, kitorg xbole nk emboss sbb line tu lari..xsame dgn printing..mcm mn ek?
me: alamak..kenape? sy nk jugak emboss tu..
KWC: tp dh print sume dh..mcm mn ek?
me: ........xpela..nnt sy discuss ngn tunang sy (this is when i started to piss off)

Before I proceed, let me stress here, the purpose I chose the design is for the emboss they offered..I tried to be more tolerate during last arguments but now, I AM pissed off..because I could not accept the fact that they asked their customer what they should do with the problems even though I already mentioned I want the emboss..and their reply showed that they could not do anything since the cards were already printed..and one question popped up on my mind 'AM I THE ONE WHO SHOULD FIX IT??'

Later we went there again to discuss with them..at that time, i was still pissed off and i hated to meet people whom I am mad with because I am a bad-tempered person but I hate to scold people or be angry at them at any time..when we were there, they were actually trying to offer us a deduction of rm50 for the compensation as they cant proceed with the job..and again..that..just made me more angry..rm50 out of rm900+ and the card did not turn out as they offered..and thats the limit I could go..I am so pissed off I cant even look at their face..n during the explanation and what not..they asked us about the buntings..and my fiancee told them the buntings were not really our concern..we dont really want them..n yet they offered us printed envelope to replace the buntings as previously the offer did not include printed envelope..DAMN! that just made me more n more n more pissed off! how in the world you offered some thing and later u claimed it was not offered..if it's your staff's misunderstanding, should I be the one who should bear with it? I was surprised and I cant even open my mouth as I cant hold my temper anymore..my body shook as I tried my best to avoid scolding people or being really mad..later i asked my fiancee to discuss outside..and we agreed to get a refund as I dont want the mess to further bother me..and I asked him to do it on his own because I couldnt face them anymore..because I am a bad-tempered person,  I always try as much possible to avoid getting mad at people but it's not easy to hold on and I also have my limit..so, the only way I found to avoid scolding people..I tried as much possible to avoid them until I cooled down and it also took me quite some time to cool down..I have once scolded people in front of other people and that left me with regret so I never ever wanted to repeat that again..

Next, my fiancee came to me and told me the cards can be embossed so we may proceed without a refund..and I was like 'now..they can do the emboss why cant they previously?' and he explained..they can because they will get a new stamp for the emboss..then I was like 'they actually can do it..but they dont want to do it just because the stamp doesnt fit anymore..and should we be the one who need to bear with the cost?' thats ridiculous..So, I tried to calm myself down and we went home..

Few weeks later, we got a message that the cards are ready..Im not quite excited to get the cards as I have a bad feeling about it..but Ive tried the best possible to think positive..So we went to their shop again and I let my fiancee settled everything and he brought the card to me..and I looked at it..but I dont feel happy..I wondered why..but later this question popped up from my fiancee 'np kad ni mcm xcantik ek?' then I tried to look at it again..and there I just discovered why I was not excited looking at it..because it's not neat..the printing, I can say it may be a low quality as the font color..it looked like it almost faded away..just like an old card..I was quite upset about this but I kept it to myself as I have exams going..I dont want to be emotional..then when I was home..I asked my family to take a look..and there..as I expected..they also didnt seem excited..and my sister started to babble, telling me that I shouldnt have went to festival pengantin to get all those things because when they reduced the price..you cant expect good quality from them..I was so sad..I couldnt hold it anymore..and i went into my room to have a little chat with my fiancee just to calm down..

After a few days, I decided to write an email to give my feedback on their service..I didnt expect my money back..I didnt even expect they should print them out again..but to let them know how I feel about their work so that they can improve in the future and I also didnt have any intention to stop other people from getting their card from KWC..but later I received a negative reply from them..OMG~ that is just soooo ridiculous..I didnt even ask for my money back..and I can tell how arrogant they were towards me and how they feel their cards were good enough..that just changed my perspective towards them..you suck big time man~ I saw other people did the same design as yours and they did 100 times better than you..I knew what I want and I knew how it should turn out because I have seen the same card with better look, with more solid printing..it's my bad I just threw the cards without getting the contact number first..and I truly learnt from that..and I would not recommend them to other people..thats for sure..

I, however took this as a test for me to be more patience and acceptance to what had happened..

Recipes..recipes..recipes..

hee hoo~~

just sorted out my recipe bookss..my recipe collectionsss..from everywhere..but some of them were not yet collected as they are everywhere in my room..in my bag..in the computer..

yes..i have a lot of them cause i used to collect them whenever i came across easy-and-maybe-delicious recipes..i might write it on dirty papers (go green!!) and i might print them or just saved them in the computer..

i have this one dream of having a big kitchen for myself and large volume of recipe books..hahahaha!! tamakkkk!!

have tried to cook aglio olio spaghetti..guess it turned out well cause my sister loves it so much i have to cook it few times in two days as i cooked it in small portion..

it happened this way..

on one fine afternoon..i just felt like eating aglio olio as i just bought enough ingredients the day before..tried once during the weekend but some of the ingredients were not there and tried to replace them with others..but it didnt turn out so well..so i was so excited to cook it that evening after work..

i happily returned home and told everybody that i want to cook aglio olio..they were like 'what is that?' specially my sister 'it's not delicious, isnt it?it's weird' i was like 'whatever..i just wanted to try it so badly cuz i managed to get all the ingredients and i want to taste my own cook of aglio olio..heheh!' then after finished cooking, i brought it at the tv room to show off to my sis (btw, shes a good cook..im not comparable to her..so shes quite choosy in tasting food..)..looking at my dish, she said 'can i taste it?' then i said 'thought u dont want to..dont u say it's weird?'..she replied 'looks tasty..just gimme that!' hahaha..

then..her response..

'wahhhh!!! this tastes soooo gooddd!!' then she started to eat it and when i asked her when is my turn..she just replied 'u can cook it on your own so u dont need your turn..' -_____-''' yes..she is the cruelllaaaa~

later she told..i tried aglio olio once and i thought it tasted weird..it's so different from yours..

wow!! didnt expect that..but, i took that as a compliment..hehehhee


well..i get to taste aglio olio at Marco pizza using groupon..and thats where i get to know how aglio olio may taste like..but i like my version better as Marco's was quite oily..it's not really my version cause i took it from the internet..maybe thats not the true taste of aglio olio..but i wish i could taste more pasta when i have the opportunity to go to its origin country;ITALY!! hehehehe..and later i can cook them better.. @_@

sorry I didnt manage to snap the pic of aglio olio cooked by me..cause though i cooked it for like few times in 2 days..it finished fast and i forgot to snap a picture of it..

and im quite busy as i am currently close to the end of my second semester..so have plenty of revisions to do..some projects to complete and i am in charge of projects at my office (specifically in my own section)..my excitement for cooking would usually at lowest when i was so tense and busy..maybe i can have some times to cook when my semester ends in June..hehehe..cant wait!! have a lot of recipes to try on!!

i have a dream..
a big kitchen to swim..

(ignore that..im not good with words.. -_-")

S.E.D.I.H

sedih..thats the only word that can describe my feeling..hurm..couldnt expect that this will be my quick post after leaving this blog for quite sometimes..yes..been very busy these days..with my studies, my work, my wedding preparation, house chores..

yet i still wish to share my current feeling..why do i feel so sad?..

looking at the tense we have these days in Malaysia..comments and criticisms..somehow i feel like everybody is trying to speak up by showing off their intelligence...a status shared that is supposed to be discussed politely was ruined by telling others that their stupid enough for having different thoughts..

I dont think it is proper when someone is trying to share his/her opinion but later was opposed by the others and simply tell him/her they are stupid for not being well versed of what happened nowadays..why do people have become this way? you are not perfect..others are not too..and different people have different thoughts..why do people has to make the already-tensed situation to more tense situation..

I wonder..am I too rigid so I dont really like changes? but later I thought I am not rigid and I am not one who simply satisfied with everything I had..I found myself to be one who really dislike fight among people regardless of who they are..which races they are..how intelligent they are..the fights..they are really bad..and they make me feel sad..i just want a country that is peace and harmony..i can move anywhere i can..i can freely perform the obligations required by Islam..I doubt that currently I couldnt perform prayers freely..so whats the buzz?

Somehow, people nowadays wish to change everybody they met..wish to have all people to follow their beliefs..then what does make them different from  the one they oppose?and yet they want to claim they fight for Islam..do they really fully understand what Islam really wants?

I am not a perfect muslim..but I want to be one..All I need now is a peaceful life so that I can always look at the sky and be thankful for everything that Allah has granted me with..

Maybe we can start by defining of what do we really want in our life? cause life is short and it is not permanent..

Blaming Industry

Oh my my~!

I have a list of topics to be shared but now I keep having quick sharing on the blog..somehow, do I look desperate enough to share? Guess I have the burning fire inside of me then..hahahaha!

OK..now what’s with the blaming industry? Why do I call blaming industry? I intended to put it as blaming tribe at first but I thought of it is growing somehow it can give up an industry then..cause one acted that way and later on influenced the other to follow..now it can a be an industry..producing like-to-blame-others people..done!
Then why do I describe that way? Ive been working for almost 3 years and ive been observing people’s act and behavior at my office..and ive found that whenever problems occurred, instead of finding the solutions, the tendency to find the culprit is greater..they tried to find the one who did the mistakes first..i was wondering, whats the good of finding that person first? Having teach by my former religious school few years back to always think good of people then I thought the reason they did that is to find the core of the problems so that the problems can be easily solved. However, the observation found the other way around..finding whos to blame is just for the sake there is somebody can be blamed for that mistake..i don’t really agree with this idea..and I found it to be very negative..why my observation said so? Cause once the culprit is found, then that’s it! Then later stories goes around talking bout the people’s mistakes..duhh! this is bad, no?
For me..i don’t really care who did the mistake..what matters most is can the problem be solved? What do we do to improve that so same mistakes will not happen in the future? Cause I believe this kind of culture makes people feel hard to be responsible for everything they did..even though they make mistakes..they keep it to themselves, afraid of penalty being put on them and later they’ll never learn..do you know ? being pointed and alone at the same time..it sucks big time!
Yesterday, it happened right in front of my eyes..the problem is simple though..yet someone has to be blamed..seeing adults trying to put the blame on someone really disgusts me..honestly speaking..and I also believe if we are on the same team and if anyone in the team tends to do the same mistakes every time..it’s not the individual mistake only..it can be the whole team’s mistake because they don’t support each other..unless we were really working alone..is there anyone working alone? please put up your hand so I can count..heh~

Again..why do we keep on trying to blame people?? We are not born perfect..so stop the blaming!!

A simple thought... =)

Hey..it's been a while..with studying..plus work..plus soon to change to another phase of life..life is quite full nowadays..but im loving it..hehehe~

Ok..have something to share when I was at a shopping complex this afternoon ->spend my leisure time with my lovely sister..hehehe

story 1: we were at a bookstore when suddenly a mother and her child entered the bookstore..at that time, we heard the child said 'mak..jgn laju sgt..adek penat la..' hahaha..it was cute and funny!! then when i was searching for my book, i came across them and heard him saying 'mak..jgn lepaskn adek..nnt adek hilang..' while he was looking for his cartoon book..wow! he was cautious about everything..i really found that funny though..but it gave me a good thought cause i really hate it when i saw a mother doing her shopping without even realizing that her child is playing somewhere else..n later she losts her/him..darn!it is really an eyesore..a mother/parents supposed to be with the child at all time..they are their responsibility!

story 2: while we were walking to a super market to buy groceries..i happened to see a child holding her mother's hand and shes wearing a sleeveless dress..holding her mother's hand would mean shes exposing her underarm..but you know what she did? she covered it with her other hand..i was so amazed..a child at that age (maybe around 4-6 yrs old..from my view..heheh) is so shy to show off her underarm..but the adults..are proud of their underarm and love to share the view of their underarm to other people..it's really weird or it is normal?hahahahaha!! and yeah..i found that funny too!!


well..that are the two stories i wish to share..will share again more next time..heee~~

w0rDinG~

Wow! It’s really been a while I didn’t write anything. I really wanted to write, I even got the list of topics to be shared but did not proceed with any. It may sound like an excuse but I believe this one attitude which I like to things that I dislike first before doing things that I like..So guess I like to write too..(maybe? Hahaha)

Since I have a little free time to write now..I decided to write again..free time here means I don’t have so much things to settle on my mind so I can focus on writing..hehe..I need to manage my time wisely la..huhu

OK..lets get to my topic..anyone who listen to Hitz fm must be aware of advertisement on nandos peri peri something..their ad is on their delicious meal (they claimed so..my sis agreed to that but I think the portion is too small la..) and in the ad they stress on people using same words repeated two times..and at the end said ‘because it’s so delicious, you have to say it twice’..
I have been listening to that quite many times since my car main radio station is hitz fm but everytime I always wonder why they use word ‘have’ instead of ‘want’..using ‘have’ at that particular statement sounds like you are force to do it rather than you are willing to do it..as in if want is used..it feels like because the food are really delicious, without any force, we are just willing to say it twice to show that it’s really delicious..no?

Doesn’t ‘because it’s delicious, you want to say it twice’ look more agreeable?
