Serving our rights

I was meant to write this entry earlier to share with you guys but I was so damn pissed off with what happened sampai nak tulis entry ni pun malas. But I guess, ini boleh dijadikan pengajaran to all. Our rights as customer/client/buyer.

This incident took place early this month. I bought a new HP at this distribution centre in Glenmarie. After few days (less than a week) of using it, I noticed a round yellowish spot on the screen. Due to a tight schedule, I only get to bring it back to the centre the following week for inspection. The staff, let's address her as "H", said that they need to take the hp for further inspection and she said the technician will contact me to inform me accordingly. And so, I left my newly bought HP there.

2 days later, the technician by the name of "K" called me and said that they have diagnosed the hp and found out that the LCD screen cracked. She said that in order to replace the LCD screen, I need to pay RM480 as it is not covered under the warranty. I was like... WTF? I told K that I have only used the phone for less than a week and now I have to fork out another RM480 to replace the screen which was fucking ridiculous. I was really mad but K keep on saying that it was a human fault thus warranty does not cover. Human fault? Yeah as if i was stupid enuf to spoil my newly purchased hp which cost over RM2k right. K said that if I do not agree with their quotation then, I can take back my hp. I was very upset and because I do not want to fork out anymore $$$ I agreed to take my hp back.

The following Saturday, I went to the centre to take my hp back. So I met H again. After waiting for about half an hour (due to so many customers b4 me), H attended my case. Ok, this is even more funnier. She said that since they will return my hp not in a good condition, my 2 years warranty will be void. WTF? I argued with H and telling her that I feel the company is trying to cheat me. She said that I should fight for it first before deciding to take the hp. She gave me the HTC customer care email for me to make complaint. I felt cheated. It's like I was being played. One way or another. Either pay RM480 or dont pay but lost the warranty. Either way I'm screwed. I called the boyfriend to let him know. He said leave the phone there and lodge for a complaint. I was pretty upset cos i really want my hp back. But stubborn2 I pun, I just listened to what he said.

The boyfriend asked me to lodge a complaint at e-aduan. Honestly, I am so lazy to go through all this hassle cos I don't think that there will be any result out of it. But the boyfriend insisted.. hehe sampai kena marah i dibuatnya.. huhu. And so, I lodged a complaint at e-aduan as well as at the HTC customer care.

After about a week later, I received a phone call from K, that technician from the hp company. She said that, after further discussion with the management, they have decided to treat my case as a special case thus they will change the LCD screen at no cost and my warranty will also continue for the next 2 years. It was weird bcos the week before, K was so strict about me forking out the extra $$. But I dont bother to ask further cos what matter is that I dont need to incur any cost. K said that I can collect my hp in 2 days time.

A few days later, after I got my hp back, I received a phone call from this guy saying that he is from the Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri & Hal Ehwal Pengguna. He said that he is incharged of the case I lodged in e-aduan. He asked if I have gotten my hp back and I said yes. Asked him what happened after I lodged the complaint. He said that he went to the company with a few others for investigation. They have issued a warning to them and have given some talk about cheating the customers/ penipuan perkhidmatan, etc. He said what I did (fighting for my right as a customer) is a right thing to do sbb mmg ramai yg tertipu dgn company2 kat Malaysia ni. And so he asked me to spread the word about their service so that Malaysians are aware of it.

And so.. I got my hp back, so far ok la xde apa2 problem lagi and even they have upgraded the software so lagi laju and tak lagging. It was a relieve. Thanks to the boyfriend sbb kalau ikut my impatience mmg akan tertipu la dgn company tu.

So peeps, just to spread the word (pegawai tu yang suruh ok.. hehe), if you feel u have been cheated when buying consumer goods/services, fight for your rights ok. Thank god, masih ada lagi kementerian2 kerajaan yang boleh diharapkan.. upsss... no offend ya.. hehehe... because of this, I dah tak malu dah nak cakap... MALAYSIA BOLEH!!

Btw, saja nak tayang hp.. hehehe... taraaaaa....

Why that someone we care can never understand us?


Have you ever woke up in the morning and sitting there thinking.....why can't people that we care never try to make the effort to at least understand us just a bit about us if not all? They always want us to understand their situation but not about us....is that what we call 'selfish'?


MY QUESTION IS?..Should we endure our sadness only by ourselves?


I wish someone can be singing this song by ADA BAND to me




Lekuk indah hadirkan pesona

Kemuliaan bagi yang memandang

Setiamu simbol keagungan

Khas perawan yang kau miliki

Akulah pengagum ragamu

Tak ingin ku menyakitimu

Lindungi dari sengat dunia

Yang mengancam

Nodai...sucinya lahirmu


c/o

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti

Lewat tutur lembut dan laku agung

Karena wanita ingin dimengerti

Manjakan dia dengan kasih sayang

Ingin ku ajak engkau menari

Bermandi hangat cahaya bulan

Sebagai tanda kebahagiaan

Dari semesta cinta kita


Repeat c/o


Bintang terang itulah dirimu

Janganlah redup dan mati

Aku dibelakangmu memeluk

Dan menjagamu


Something to keep me going

I was reading back my entries in my previous blog site when I came across this. Given from a stranger who added me in the fs. Just thought I'd paste it here as a reminder to me as and when I need to be reminded of it.


Seorang lelaki berdoa kepada Allah agar diberikan Bunga & Rama - Rama
Namun Allah memberikannya Kaktus & juga Ulat.
Lelaki ini sedih . Kenapa pemberianNYA berbeza dari permintaannya.
Kemudian dia berfikir bahawa Allah mempunyai terlalu ramai umat dan memutuskan untuk tidak memikirkan pemberian Allah itu .
Selepas satu tempoh , lelaki tersebut memikirkan semula permohonan doa yang telah lama dilupakannya .
Lelaki itu terperanjat , dari Kaktus yang hodoh & berduri telah tumbuh bunga yang mekar & menawan
Manakala daripada ulat yang terselindung telah bertukar menjadi rama - rama yang cantik .
Allah sentiasa melakukan semua perkara dengan betul & sempurna .
Jika anda memohon sesuatu & menerima sesuatu yang lain dari Allah , PERCAYALAH
Pastinya Allah akan memberikan sesuatu yang dipinta pada masa yang sesuai .
Apa yang dipinta tidak semestinya apa yang diperlukan .
Allah tidak akan gagal memenuhi permintaan umatnya . Terus kan berdoa & berdoa & berdoa .
DURI HARI INI ADALAH BUNGA PADA HARI ESOK .
fikir2kanlah . Wasallam

Antara cinta dan keinginan untuk memiliki

It's almost 2am. Can't sleep. Been lying there on the bed... and my mind is still active at this hour.. thinking.. thinking of things that are not certain.. things that the future may or may not be in store for me.. for us. I always wonder why i couldn't be like ordinary people. To stop thinking far ahead and accept each day as it comes. Why must i look ahead of something that i can't foresee or predict. A friend told me that the problem with me is I have high hopes and expectations, hence, when it didn't turn out the way it should be or the way i wanted it to be, I'd be demoralised, I'd be frustrated and it hurts. That friend told me that I should just let the future comes naturally, don't predict, don't make assumptions. i should just cherish this moments, be happy now, enjoy the time i have now and let the future takes it's own cause.

Oh yeap.. it's easy said than done..

Hmm.. I have no idea why such an entry at this hour. Probably i am still shocked to hear about my close friend's marriage. Being a super sensitive person, I cried. I'm just so sad for her and the guy. But again, could you continue with the marriage if there is no love anymore?

Or, what if a guy marries you not because of love but instead because of commitments. And you know deep inside him, there's another woman whom he loves but due to certain circumstances he cant have her. Can you live knowing that there's another woman in his heart while you are out here trying to make him happy? Can he actually be happy? Are you happy knowing that you are not the one in his heart? Can the marriage last? There are just so many questions that have no answers to it.

Choosing the right path is never easy. It's a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our own way to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regrets and remorse of our mistakes. Our malice and our jealousy and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. And that's when we find our way to something better. Or when something better finds its way to us.

Gosh, my thoughts for this entry is so scattered. I just needed to write what i feel and what ever that come across my mind at this hour.

To have this kind of thoughts at this hour, make me to think further. utk apakah kita bercinta? and i asked myself..adakah aku betul2 fhm apa yg dikatakan dgn cinta itu atau sekadar berkeinginan utk memiliki sesuatu yg aku cintai?

Doaku..

YA Allah seandainya dia diciptakan menjadi milikku, baik untuk ku duniaku dan akhiratku maka satukanlah kami dalam ikatan pernikahan

Tetapi ya Allah... seandainya dia bukan miliku, tidak baik utkku duniaku dan akhiratku maka pisahkan kami dan hubungkanlah kami sebagai persaudaraan islam....

Amin...

Brown arrested after alleged attack on Rihanna
R&B stars cancel scheduled performances at Sunday's Grammy Awards


LOS ANGELES - Singer Chris Brown was arrested and charged with making criminal threats on Sunday for an early morning attack on an unidentified woman widely thought to be his girlfriend, pop star Rihanna. The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the woman in the incident is Rihanna.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Rihanna was “reportedly hospitalized with bruises on her face.”

Los Angeles police officer Karen Smith says Brown walked into a station around 7 p.m. and was being interviewed by detectives. He released on $50,000 bail, according to a Los Angeles Police Department statement.

Police booked the 19-year-old R&B singer and dancer on suspicion of making a criminal threat, a felony. Police did not explain how their initial report of an injury assault related to the charge, but it will ultimately be up to the district attorney’s office to decide what charges, if any, should be brought against Brown.

Police say the singer and a woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park neighborhood at around 12:30 a.m. PT Sunday when they began arguing, and the argument escalated when they got out of the car.

“After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated,” the police said. “The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker.”

Police received a 911 call reporting the disturbance and according to the statement, when officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene.

Both Brown and Rihanna were no-shows for Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. Both were nominated and scheduled to perform.

Brown, who broke onto the Billboard charts at the age of 16 with his hit single “Run It” and sold 2 million copies of his self-titled debut album, also scored a pair of hits on his sophomore effort, “Exclusive,” in 2007.

Wrigley announced Monday that it is suspending ad campaigns featuring Brown as its Doublemint gum spokesman. A company statement expresses concern about what it calls “serious allegations made against Chris Brown.”

To my creamy

Feeling loved.
It gives me strength to keep moving on.
When things turn out the worst.
You give me life.
Give me something to stand up for.
To live another day.
Being with you has made me smile.
Flying in the clouds, in my mind ,with you in my arms.
It doesn't matter where we are.
It just matters I'm with you, holding onto you tight.
Loving you baby.
Made me feel like living life once again.
Times it seems I'm out there.
Out of this planet.

Flouting in my thought.
You know why.
Baby I just want you to know

I am so in love with you...



The "pelangi" for me

I was reading my previous entries when i came to this particular entry. I am speechless. Now I understand why. Alhamdulillah..

A quiz.. nothing better to do aye?

How good a kisser are you?



And the result is........



You are a passionate kisser
You just don't kiss any person off the street
because when u kiss,
you really mean it and your partner feels it.
There's a sensual aura about you,
whether of not you try for it.
