1 brain, 2 issues

listening to: air cond blowing sound
mood: fine

i have 2 issues linger in my head now..

1. government servants are restricted to misuse the internet
as announced by our PM, gov servants are restricted to misuse the internet services that belong to gov offices by chatting, uploading and downloading pirated/unlicensed material, personal relationship connection, 'forumming' and using for personal reason. i saw this yesterday and i was like... duhh.. and this morning, as i drove to office, this topic was discussed on Hot FM and i sent my response thru sms (xtau la diorg baca or x). i dun fully agree with this matter because i am a gov servant and chatting and 'forumming' is part of my daily habit which is to release the tense of doing tasks. i take it as a therapy. even to discuss few office/work related matter, i'd prefer using skype or ym instead of calling on phone or discussing verbally. my bosses also use skype to call for a meeting or short discussion. however, it depends on individual respectively. for me, i dun mind to let ppl to chat to go join forum since i know, by talking to sumone, u can reduce ur stress level, gain knowledge or to at least, to take a break. however, to 'youtube'ing and 'facebook'ing, i dun have prob if this is forbidden in offices since it is seriously more into personal entertainment and relationship. (kat opis aku pon mmg dah block benda2 ni... ehehe sbb tu xkesahhhh!!!). as we all know, internet has pros and cons.. i think every employee is adult enough to think what he/she is doing and the consequences. no need to circulate the order. self motivation is more important.

2. typical malay businessperson
i watched jangan ketawa last nite there was a scenario where a mechanic lied to his customer by cheating the repairing cost over 1000 instead of 600 as he mentioned earlier.. he also lie that he changed the faulty part with the new one but he actually replaced it with a used one. so his profit margin is bigger. this triggers my thought to think it is a typical malay businessperson misbehaviour. it happened to me few times but i'm going to mentioned what had happened recently. last week, i changed my car shock absorbers to new ones and the mechanic quoted MYR1430 with installation. since they completed the installation quite late, i add another 10bucks as a token. on my way home, i noticed loud noises from the rear absorbers and i assumed the bolts and nuts are not properly tightened. so i just bear the noises since i cant go to the workshop again due to the distance and other commitments. 2 days later, i called the mechanics to inform that i'm coming to his workshop but he responded this "sorry la bang, kitorg nak tutup awl harini.. lagipon keje byk" and i told him i'll come on saturday. on saturday, i went to the workshop to get thing fixed but surprisingly one of the mechanics said "datang ari isnin leh x? kitorang byk kerja la arini" with unpleasant tone. aku cakap la "bkn dekat nk datang ni.. lagipon dah makin truk bunyi nye". with his unwilling body language, he checked the car and told me it was because of the spring is too low and need to be adjusted. die adjust bg tinggi then blakang kete aku jadi terjongket.. aku ckp la "aku xrase pasal spring la bro.. ni bunyi kt dalam.. bkn kat luar" tp die wat bodo je... aku sabar je lagi.. then mase aku tgh tgk je die wat keje, tetiba die trus turun kan jack kete and trus masuk dalam kedai xkuar2 dah.. without saying a word, he left the car and i assumed the prob was solved.. then i drove the car out of the place, then i notice, the noises got worse and my car was bumping all the way.. i thought to return to the workshop but i didnt since i think they are bunch of crap mechanics who only chase for profits.. i went to Dori² Autoworks in Shah Alam to get the prob fixed. surprisingly, when the mechanic checked the rear absorber, he found that
1. both rear absorbers were not bolted and the bolts were not in place
2. the earlier stupid mechanics didnt put the washers
3. both absorbers were not properly assembled by the earlier mechanics who called themselves as EXPERTS of neo..
"gile ko.. nasib ko xmati.. bahaya gile org ni pasang xbtul" as the mechanic explained to me.. i called the earlier mechanics to tell the prob and i wanted him to come and fixed the prob.. but he responded "eh.. mane ade.. ktorg dah pasang elok2.. ni mesti pomen yg bukak balik tu tipu ko.. xkan la ktorg nak wat camtu kat customer". kepala hotak die!!! aku tgk sndr mase pomen tu bukak.. bnda tu mmg xikat dgn nat.. then mmg silap pasang.. aku trus letak tepon pastu.. menyampah aku cakap dgn org penting untung je.. i asked the mechanic to fix the problem and he charged me MYR80 for that.. that means i lost 80 but it is nothg to compared to the value of my life.. but i'm pissed off with the irresponsibility of the mechanics as promised earlier.. "bile dah untung, ko snyap.. customer service cam haram pastu ko nak aku dtg balik?? ohh tidak.. i even told my frens not to go to the shop in Prima Damansara.. this is the typical malay businessperson.. they chase for only one time profit instead of taking care their customer satisfaction that can leads to continuous profits.. i had my lesson not to send my car to malay owned workshop except to the Dori². the owner a.k.a the mechanic is a nice person.. he even allowed me to pay only MYR50 since i had only that amount on that time and he said i can pay on next visit or just bank in the balance later.. i'm so thankful for that and seriously suggest to anybody who reads this, send your car to the workshop and u'll be satisfied..

pheewww... what a long post..
