Tired... n HUNGRY

21st March 2006,

I am tired, testy... and extremely HUNGRY!!! I was so hungry that had my lunch at 11am.. Hmm come to think of it, I didn't have any breakfast.. lol..

I finished work at 12am midnight lastnight. Not only was I tired, I was stressed, hungry and achy all over... I thought a good night sleep would do the trick but I was nicely reminded of that stupid stress when I woke up at 6am this morning.

I woke up with a frustrated frown, aches and an insistent urge to scream my stress out. I couldn't open my eyes... *sniff* so tired and hungry....

I was miserable....

Anyway, as usual when hunger consumes my mind, I could do nothing but concentrate on getting some decent large pile of food into my grumbling stomach. Yes, I was whining and telling anybody who would listen to me about my sudden hunger misery. Then at 5pm, I had another large pile of food, yummy, and off to continue my endless work.

Also read my best friend's blog which she have just started to adopt. Hmm... I wonder when she'll forget that she has a blog.. *snickers* She has a bad habit of forgetting things.

Hmm.. I think I wanna eat Asam Laksa Maggi (instant noodle) for my dinner, got a sudden urge to eat it suddenly.. yummy!!

Oklah gotta go.. Ciaoz!!

Gloomy... Scammers...

15th March 2006,

Things are really not looking up these days. Found out that my BELOVED clients are scammers thanks to the endless research I had to do. What a total waste of my time, energy and MONEY..

Very frustrating.. Just when I had thought things would be looking up and boom! Something like this came up. But thank goodness I did those research, else the company would have lost millions and not to mention the company's reputation would be down the drain.

What caught me as odd was when the Client told me on the day of the supposed T/T, their bank has pended the transaction due to the products not registered in NAFDAC Nigeria. Ok.. I know we had to do those registrations stuff since we had used to deal with another client who had same registration problem. But then... when a T/T has been send, I don't think the bank can suspend it. From what I know, the owner of the bank can cancel the transaction and thats about it. (Strange 1)

When I requested for the necessary details and government agency to proceed with the registration, I was very nicely surprised to find the email address of the 'Secretary General' of NAFDAC Nigeria to be using africamail.com. I thought government bodies would be using special email address, with those ending with example.gov.sg kinda thing. (Strange 2)

Then when I contacted the 'Secretary General' they gave me the NAFDAC product registration forms which in JPEG formats which looked very suspicious especially the registration fees amount column. The colour of the fonts doesn't corresponds with the others and the angle is totally off.. This time, I wasn't surprised to find the registration fees was almost double from the original ones which I had gotten from the official NAFDAC Nigeria website which was supposed to be Naira $200,000 or USD$1500. Instantly I was suspicious. (Strange 3)

The Client had pestered me to get the registration done with the reason that their customers are waiting for the goods. For godsake! Even if the money had been fully T/T into the company's account, the total lead time would take around 3 and a half months before the consignment will reach Lagos.. Who do they take me for? A fool? Too bad this fool is too experienced to be fooled. I told them to wait.

Immediately I asked for my parents opinion and my sis. Not satisfied still, I called up the Nigerian Embassy and my bankers for their views. Sure enough they told me the same thing. Still not fully satisfied, I know.. I can be very unsatisfied and determined, I did research on the net, tracing down their company's address, contact numbers and other details. Finally!! My satisfaction was eased.

It was a total scam.

Since I'm a very vengeful and not to mention sadist, I composed a very nice mail to the Nigerian Police and other anti-scammers organisation and shoot out a report. I also replied to my client stating that I have contacted their Embassy for the registration procedures and had given the embassy their contact details.

Not only were they pissed, they were being extremely sarcastic. Like I care! To hell with those who tries to make a fool of others. Assholes...

And quite conviniently, another scammer from Benin pulled the same nonsense at me. What the heck is the problems with these kiddos from these countries? Don't they have better things to do then cheating others out? What the hell happened to make hard and honest money?No wonder their economy is very bad, with people like them, I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway my younger lil sis has just told me a very interesting issue on that idiotic friend of mine whom I have ignored for 3 months. He told her he misses hanging out with me.. He said he's very bored cuz I no longer get out of my place to even talk to him. Harlo!! Time check!! I'm extremely busy with work these days that even my mom has to chase me to the dinner table. Plus he was the moron who ignored me first especially after having his beloved girlfriend..

His workers are also complaining about him. Said he's no longer what he used to be, jovial and crazy. He's now more cranky and frisked. They said they preferred the time when he was without his girlfriend. Like what the hell happened? Did I miss something here? I thought having a girlfriend is suppose to make him much more sociable and likable? Chigau...

Anyway they are also sick of his lovey-dovey attitude he has whenever his girlfriend is with him and will not hesitate to show their displeasure. She even kisses him in public in front of people during working hours! my lil sis bears witness to that.. poor hunny.. lol..

My god! What happen to Boss never messes around during working hours especially when your girlfriend is your own clerk!!! Confirm, his standard of respect in the eyes of his workers has dropped. Talk about practice what you preach.. hahahaha...

Come on lah.. Even I the newbie M.D knows never to show my childish side or anyside that will make my employees respect towards me drop.. What was he thinking? His dick? *shakes her head...

What a waste he is...
