Sushi Disappointment

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Yes.. they say .. beggars cannot be choosers.. but this is the worst ever sushi, I have eaten. At 4.99 for 8 pieces of sushi, I thought it was really expensive but nevermind lah.. i told myself.. if the sushi was good, no problem at all. At 4.99 this would cost an food blogger in malaysia a close 15 ringgit. And you and I know for 15 ringgit you can get way better than this. The rice was soggy, it looked like chinese porridge cramped together and the filing were cheap carrots and fish sticks and only 2 were wrapped up with seaweeds. On top of it.. every piece had some wasabi in it, thus making it impossible for a child to eat.

This Is A Freaking Joke!

Once again this town has got geniuses running it..! You just wouldn’t believe .. how “smart” they are..!!

They are changing the region to be known as “Yarmouth and Acadian Shores Travelway” to give hope to the worst ever tourism season of the century. Different name in all their brochures but the same kinda stuff.. and this will boost tourism and the economy of a fast failing town..???!!!?? GEEEEENNNIUUUUSSSS..!!!!

These ppl are sitting on their brains for far too long, and they must be on crack to think that changing the names in brochures, advertisement and thus spending another 10K to change the names on these brochures and advertisement.. and hire someone (prolly someone’s kid in advertising who is in the council) to reword another 50 words on the brochures .. for a few thousand dollars. How is it gonna help this town.. and tourism here..?? GENIUUUSESSS..!!!

The Calls We Get

Everyday, we get so many calls .. from ppl who wants to sell things to us. Everyday, we get ppl coming into our store.. and wanting to sell their old, old games to us for ridiculous prices.

This morning, we had just this kinda kid who wanted to sell us a game that was 3 yrs old for 8 bucks..! You can get those for as little as 9.99 new at Superstore.. and they want 8 bucks for it.. muahahhaha!! sometimes.. i donch know whether to smack them over their head.. or just roll on the floor and laugh.

And the calls we get.. !! OMG..!! you should hear what they wanna sell to us.. at times..! A Wireless Router .. that we ourselves sell for 40 bucks new.. and they want 40 buck for their used ones. At times… i wonder if they are on CRACK..!

Winter Holiday

If you donch know by now.. winter is the time..where ppl over here takes their holiday..! Yup.. you heard right..! why..?? winter is so hard here.. and cold…!! you just wanna get away.. and feel the sun.

But for those .. who goes to Jamaica or Cuba or the Caribbeans for holiday for a week.. and then come back… i think the reality that hits is even worst.. then for those who didn’t go. For me anyways. Can you imagine.. soaking and basking in the sun and beach.. and then coming back.. and stepping into the cold soil of Canada..! Now that wouldn’t be nice at all. But still.. for some.. like one of PB’s uncle and aunt.. they leave for Cuba every year.. during winter.. without fail.

PS : A check with PB, he said.. Cuba seems to be the most favorite destination for the ppl in this town.

3 bucks also donch have..!

I have this customer that would come in .. once in a while.. and first she would ask you .. if she owes us any money in her account for renting previous movies. So we go check the POS system.. and indeed, she does.. but only at $3, and she would then continue.. if she can rent a movie and put it on her tap.. and pay me tomorrow.

Honestly .. it’s only 3 bucks.. and it wouldn’t make me any richer .. nor poorer.. ! but how can one walk up and down the town.. without even $3 in your pocket..?? Even my 3.5 yr old daughter.. is richer than them. It never fail to amaze me.. when ppl come in.. and ask a few bucks to be put on tap. To me.. it is so “malu” lah..!! $3 also donch have..?? and we are not talking about a kid.. this is an adult.. and an old adult at that..!

About Time They Unionize

For those who donch know.. we do have a casino in Halifax.. about 4 hrs away from my “ulu” town. And it is a huge casino.. and yes.. i’ve been in it before.. twice i think.. when i first came to Canada. Fascinating ma..! afterall.. at that time.. singapore no casinos.. and going to Genting very cold.. muahhaha!!

Well anyways.. finally the 450 employees in Halifax voted in favour to unionized.. which is about time..! They have had been going on about it.. for years now.. as far as i can remember. I hear that the employees has the lowest wages in the gaming sector here in Nova Scotia.. and that is not fair at all. Afterall, we all know how profitable.. a casino is..! Not fair eh..!

Not Trustworthy Part 5

Well.. it’s already friday.. and of course no sign of Mrs Not Trustworthy at all. We had planned earlier this week.. to go to her house knocking to collect our console game back from her, but PB went ahead early this evening and gave her the most pissed off look ever.

She had asked PB to give her a few days.. to settle the money.. but PB was determined to have it over and done with today.. so gave her till 9pm. Of course she had some sob story .. saying her landlord owed her money and stuff. But she think we’re stupid or what..?? why would her landlord owe her any money..?? unless she opened her fat legs to him..!

To cut the long story short.. she came in with the gamecube system and returned it to us .. after having it for a month. What a crook.

Charged for Missed Appointments

If you live in Canada.. you can be charged.. if you miss your dental appointments (we have been charged before) and now the doctors in Alberta are also charging their patients who don’t show up for their appointment. They say this is because of the rising cost of running a medical office in the province.

So what happens.. if you got too sick.. during the nite.. and had to go to the hospital in the middle of the nite..?? and can’t see the doctor first thing in the morning.. because you were in the hospital till 7am in the morning.. and had gone home to rest..??

I see the doctors donch make enough money already..?? that they have to charge for missed appts. One doctor claimed that she had to sit for half hour waiting for her patient.. who were no show. So she cannot see those that are already there..?? These ppl are wierd..!
