Online Shopping

I'm sure gazillion people have bought something online. I am one of those gazillions.

I've went through eBay and few others online webs based overseas. The few times I interacted with sellers online, the communication between us always run smoothly and... polite.

Then I got home.
And I experience a whole different interaction between buyer and seller. In plain word, sellers are in charge. They don't please customers as they shouldve been treated. I guess shopping online here don't differ much with shopping on brick and mortar. Have you noticed shop assistants recently? They plain ignore you and don't take queries seriously.

Same goes to online shops. Although, of course, not all of them are as such. Its generally speaking.

But what I'm saying here, culture and customer service do play direct role in business. Overseas know how to run online etiquette and since no personal contact, our interaction is limited to monitor and keyboard, which is more passive interaction. Unlike here where mobiles are the most preferred contact, which requires both parties to interact actively, ergo each party wants instant replies as if we have no other things to do besides to fulfil each other's needs until all errands completed.

And that, is troublesome.

Interesting Facebook Facts

Found this application on facebook.

My friends stats.

Here's some of the results of my facebook friends:

Female/Male:68% / 32%

Single/Taken:19% / 81%
Average age:27 years old

What astounds me is that the (tragically) huge gap on single and taken ratio.

hence no possibility for facebook romance now, eh? LOL

Does the average age of friends also shows how old you really are? FYI, i'm not 27 yo, but close enuf ;)

Interesting apps.

Space

When you're mature enough (age-wise), you really really need your own personal space. Like, a bedroom with locked door?

I'm desperately in need of one.

I know a year is more than enough whining, but its really difficult to adjust from living for yourself for 7 years to suddenly have to share everything with 4 other people in cramped room with no locked doors. By everything, I mean, ev.vry.thing. What u do when u wakeup, who you speak on the phone, what u speak on the phone, what you up to for the day, when you have to sleep, when you have to wake up, when you eat, when not to eat.

Its all about adjusting. Yes, it may be just that, but as you get older and once have that massive space to yourself.. You longed for that tiny hole where you can just succumb to your whatever your mind takes you. That, I do not have.

Lucky I have not yet go insane and poppin' pills.

Farah Quinn

Should I do intro first for Indonesian hottest TV chef or the name's a given?

Briefly, Farah Quinn. Chef on Ala Chef show in Trans TV. I have to admit, the lady can cook, but for her to be a 'chef', I'm no judge to that.

But that's not what made her huge in Indonesia. No. Her massive stardom was enhanced by another (err, two others?) enormous personal assets. Her boobs.

To other than female, her cooking talent is just a shadow.

Even the giant corporate in cyberspace agrees to that. Google wouldn't find anything mentioning her recipes or cooking!

Of all results on page 1 covering, yes, Her BOOBS!

I dunno if I should feel sorry for her since the nation don't seem to recognize her cooking talent but more appreciating her assets. Seriously, try googling her name. Or anything follows her name, be it her show 'ala chef' or 'resep'. Google will give you very little on recipes, the show, or cooking tips.

Oh, in case you're wondering why on earth I spent my time browsing farah quinn.. I was dying to find her pangsit goreng recipe! Of which I could not find. No surprise there.

Farah, honey, try not to use push-up bras or tighty-tights exposing on the center areas. Let's give those two for malls, clubs, or your hubby. Don't let them outshine your cooking.

Surprisingly, I like your dishes and would like to try them on my kitchen. Two massive problems, Your boobs prevent me to do so!!
