Never be a HOUSEWIFE/ TAI-TAI!
An irritating Sunday of mine:
Mum: Can you help me call Crystal Jade to ask if the pre-paid value card (from Ichqs.com) can be used?
Winnilicious ignored mum & thought: Why don't you go there& ask since you will be going to Jurong Point later?
A few hours later, I heard my mum getting ready to go out, so I checked online for Crystal Jade's number and called.
Winnilicious: Can I check whether the Ichq card can be used already?
Crystal Jade staff: Cannot be used anymore.
Winnilicious: How come? I thought you all said that during CNY period, it could not be used and the date was extended to 29 February and now, 2nd March, you are telling me it cannot be used? I want to speak to Manager.
Manager: Hello… The card cannot be used already.
Winnilicious (getting a bit irritated): Why?
Manager: I don't know. Headquarter said one. Why don't you call the Ichq company to ask?
Winnilicious: But you guys were the one who introduced the card.
Manager: I don't know. Not me.
Winnilicious slammed down the phone.
Winnilicious to mum: The Ichq card cannot be used already. Crystal Jade says one.
Mum (panicked): How come?
Winnilicious: I don't know. Crystal Jade says one. I went to the website to look for the telephone number but there is no number anymore. The previous number is a dead line. According to the website, they are putting the card on hold as there is a merger going on. How true? I do not know.
Mum: Then how?
Winnilicious thought: How the fark I know?
Winnilicious (irritated & rolled eyes): Told you don't anyhow buy already. Somemore, put so much cash in.
Mum: I go Crystal Jade and ask.
Winnilicious: ………………………………
What the heck? Asked me to call & yet didn't want to believe me? Negative response, in turn, self-denial stage. Duh…………..
The phone rang,
Winnilicious: Hello…..
Mum (in anger tone): HELLO! YOU WANT EAT ANOT?
Winnilicious (irritated): Do you need to be so loud?
Mum: I AM ALWAYS SO LOUD ONE!
Winnilicious: Then never mind. I cook myself.
Again, Winnilicious slammed down the phone.
*ANGRY*
I wasn't aware that she bought the card. She only showed to us after she bought the card. Best of all, she put into $300 to $400 of cash into the card! If I am not wrong, the card value is like $200 plus to $300 now? According to her, the staff in Crystal Jade encouraged her to buy since she is a regular customer & now, Crystal Jade is pushing away all responsibilities by saying "I don't know." & why am I so negative about the whole issue? Cos the card company does not have a good reputation. Something happened a few years ago, if you are aware.
Now, what's now?
It seems to turn out to be my fault. Reason? Cos I never help!
In short, people who are away from the work force for long are simply gullible. Therefore, she is gullible! Unreasonable of cos. KNN!
