of late night recruitement drive

I got a phone call from a financial advisor from some company informing me that her company is doing a recruitment drive. She goes on to say that her company is offering me a job as a financial advisor. I rejected it immediately.

I do not want to work for a company that does a recruitment drive at 8.30 at night. Something must be very wrong with the company.

Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters:

Reports about a study that found microwave ovens can be used to sterilize kitchen sponges sent people hurrying to test the idea this week -- with sometimes disastrous results...A team at the University of Florida found that two minutes in the microwave at full power could kill a range of bacteria, viruses and parasites on kitchen sponges...They described how they soaked the sponges in wastewater and then zapped them. (Microwave zaps germs on sponges.)...But several experimenters evidently left out the crucial step of wetting the sponge.

of forgot that I parked...

Yesterday morning, I decided to park my car for a minute or two at the loading bay while I popped into the provision shop to get some stuff. After buying the stuff, I happily walked home.

I only remembered about the 'abandoned' car when I took Lancerkid for a walk in the evening. From a distant, I looked at the car and thought to myself, "Hmm, some goondu has the same car as mine".

You should look at my goondu face when I walked past the car just to see the familiar license number.

Next time if I park at the loading bay, maybe I should remember to take a photo in case I lose my car.

I was 'educating' Lancerlad to speak up more often.

Sometimes he is just too lazy to speak up. Only nods or shakes his head or waits for us to 'help' him to answer.

Lancerlord: Lancerlad, learn to speak more ok?
*Lancerlad nods head*

Lancerlord: Don't just nod or shake your head. Say 'Yes' or 'No'.
Lancerlad: Ok.
Lancerlord: Learn to speak up.
Lancerlad: Ok.
Lancerlord: Speak louder so that people can hear you.
I nagged for a few minutes and finally Lancerlad raises his hand just like what his school teaches. Shows me his palm.
Lancerlad: Daddy, Daddy. Enough. Enough.

I left him alone to watch the tele.

of refunded

Finally got a cash cheque refund for the uZap Mini after 5 phone calls from different OSIM Customer Service Officers.

First phone call was to inform me of the recall and to arrange the collection on Monday.
OSIM CSO: There is a recall of uZap Mini due to....Can we arrange to collect the uZap Mini on Monday. We will replace it with a brand new blood pressure monitor.

Second phone call was to postpone the collection to another day.

Third call was to inform me about the recall again and to arrange the collection again. I told the CSO that I had already been informed and the collection date had already been arranged.

Fourth call was to ask me if my uZap Mini has been collected which in fact the collection has been changed to the next day.

Fifth call was to ask me something that I didn't know.
OSIM CSO: May I know which refund option did you choose?
Lancerlord: I wasn't given any option. I was told that I would be given a blood pressure monitor.
OSIM CSO: Sorry sir but we have run out of the blood pressure monitor. Do you prefer to have the $150 OSIM voucher or cash cheque?
Lancerlord: I'll take the cash cheque.

Little bit frustrating but nonetheless I got the refund in the end.
$99? I was expecting $150 cash cheque based on how the last CSO relayed the options to me.
