Serious Shit

I have something so serious to share. That I must, share. It is so serious that I kept thinking about blogging this. So I have been using this pink one, Scottex, for like the longest time ever. The texture of the paper. The softness. The roughness. The size of each square. And the thickness of each ply. Just makes my below feels... so good! This is seriously not TMI. I am only describing the paper, dude.  And each time that I am almost running out, I will buy like 2 or 3 packets of 10s, so that I have stock at home. If not, it will be a really sh***y situation. Lol, unintentional pun.  Anyhoo, I have this luck with things where what ever I like, tend to be discontinued at some point or other. There was one time like I was so running out of toilet rolls, and I couldn't find them, and Boo also helped me looked for it in other supermarkets and below is an example of the conversation we had. Him: Boo, your brand is Scottex right? Me: Yes, boo. The one with puppy...

To Tip Or Not To Tip

This is always a dilemma. When I first got to UAE, it was a norm to see most of my friends/colleagues tip the workers here. Be it to the waiter or waitress or bell boys or supermarket packers etc., it was like a mandatory thing to do. Back home in Malaysia, tipping is almost hardly noticeable. Even sometimes when I want to leave tips, I will have at least one family member or one friend who will say, "Why leave tips? They have already charge us service tax." Well, I guess they do have a point there. I don't know. Any of you have this dilemma? Ok, maybe it is not really a dilemma, more like a tricky situation. Like, sometimes I want to give just because of the unexpected good service. Sometimes I want to give, because the change is really minute. I mean honestly, if the change was "RM 0.60." Sixty freaking cents and that also you want to kira. In my opinion, quite absurd lah. But there are times where I feel like, why should I give. For example, the pack...

Bangkok Transit Before Hong Kong

The other day, I followed Boo to Hong Kong, but because the flight from AUH-HKG was full, I had to use another route. So, I left in the morning from AUH-BKK with EY, with ID 90 J class ticket. The flight was very light. And I got into BKK around evening 6pm. Then I went up to TG counter to check if I need to list myself for HKG flight tomorrow morning. But I think we were lost in translation, she didn't really understand what I said and I didn't really understand what she said. It was hilarious actually. Me: Hi, I am on staff ticket and I will be on TG to HKG tomorrow. Do I need to list myself before the flight? Her: Hong Kong?? No Hong Kong flight now. Me: Lol, ya, I know. I mean for tomorrow. Her: (insert Thai accent) Ohhhh, tomolo? Then you check-in tomolo. Me: Ok, but do I need to list myself? Or am I already in the system? Her: You come to check-in counter tomato. Me: So I don't need to list myself? I am already listed? Her: (turning to her colleague) Lis...
