Visiting a new fitness club...
Today, I managed to visit a fitness club close to the heart of town. And believe you me, being bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. Service really sucked over there. Had to wait some 15 mins before anyone actually attended to us, and then another 15 mins before any issue was even resolved. Not to mention the rude customer service! Which brings the question to mind: is the consumer really sovereign? Are there just money-grubbing sales representatives around that only care about you buying their product and not bothering about after-sales service? And are we really going to continue accepting totally rubbish service? Note that I'm harping on this. I just feel that those in the service industry these days just don't take pride in their place at work anymore. Their job is just that: TO PROVIDE A SERVICE! I say be proud of that, and be the best customer service there is.
I think that is what is lacking here in Singapore. Sure... we are one of the premier tourist destinations in the world, but are we living up to that tag? With the kind of customer service that I experienced earlier this afternoon,NO! We have to clean up our act, and soon, if we are planning to impress with our Integrated Resort plans.
Saw lots of overgrown (mostly disproportionate) men in the gym as well. I can never understand why people go to such extents to grow to such humungous proportions... Is it a sense of satisfaction, or is it just to show people your incredulous body? Hmmm... if it is the latter, I'm seriously sad for those peeps.
In any case, printing notes in NUS is a bitch. Not only have you got to book a computer terminal just to access the required readings, you have to line up again just to get to the printing terminals. Is this some sort of Singaporean custom? To queue up for anything and everything else? I can still remember the Hello Kitty craze, and believe me, that was just insane!
On a happier note... the MacBook Pro would be available soon in Singapore! I cannot wait! For those who are curious, this is the hyperlink: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/
Just to end off, I really hope that Darling gets her modules. I mean, I would really like to see her again in school next sem, but would also love it if she graduates this year. She seems so restless on campus, and it would do her good if she leaves this wretched place as soon as possible.
Take it easy, Keep it real...
