..:: 438. The One With Mugging ::..

Yesterday managed to experience the wrath of mugging for a whole day. purely marketing. a few things kept lingering in my mind.

first thing was about relationships... seems like most people around me who used to be 'attached' are now single and readily available... so what actually happened? busy schedules? conflicting interests or worse, issues? or is Singapore getting boring, lack of place for dating... I guess this pretty much gives us a prelude to why divorce rates are rising... will children be the only source that is keeping marriages alive? perhaps the next 'in' thing would be cohabitation...

secondly, sometimes there are things you should really keep to yourself. For me, i kind of regret letting my friends know that i had come up with a summary list of terms for one of my modules.

You can call me selfish or what, but it is really 'What's in it for me?' when i share my revision list. my not-so-close friends msged me 'hey can i have your revision list?' what would you do? i was more irritated when they said, 'hey, i was online, why you never send me...'

WHEY. firstly, i spent 3 hours doing up the list and i am still considering sending to you (more than one) for just less than 3 mins. secondly, the least you could have do is trade something, NOTHING. thirdly, you sounded like i owe you something... even if you are online, the least you could do is to pop up a window and ask?

If you were me, would you still send? I don't want to be selfish but these issues are touchy. even the tutor subtly mentioned, it is best you do your own revision notes.

thirdly, was quite pissed off with the service APPLE had. i ordered an iPod Shuffle online and the stated shipment date was yesterday. Hence, today i made a few calls trying to find out where exactly is my iPod Shuffle lying in the world. I was then informed that there was a late shipment so the earliest shipment date is mon and latest by tue. I mean, if you expect the overseas shipment to be late, you can at least send a mail or call since you have our details. I am not trying to be a fussy customer but with such service standards, APPLE has to think twice about going far.
