Hey this is Singapore People here are very 'Xian Shi' one

av98m SG

I was reading a paper on hearing loss, possible causes and prevention.

They had a table with the routine sources of oise we are likely to be exposed to on a daily basis.

Screaming/crying child had a 102db rating Shocked

Yah...its somewhere around there....

Little gal screams & cry.

Little boy has the tendency to suddenly scream or shout..we think he does it just for the echo effect.

However, little boy always suddenly scream or shout into his fathers ears. Most likely because he knows his father hates that.

av98m SG

A kid did that to me once in public for fun(ran up to me and screamed in myear) and I smacked him hard in front of his shocked parents. And proceeded to yell at his parents.

Even one dose of that causes irreversible damage and I value my hearing a lot.

This is why I think I'm likely to be an abusive parent.

sometimes i wonder..

a lot of companies say that business is bad, times are hard...

i really wonder..

we put up a invitation to quote to supply us a pile of stuff.. of the 30 different quotations, only 5 companies met the specifications.. and i'm using the word 'met' here loosely..

they don't bother to read, send in quotations for nonsense, they're more interested in telling their company history, trying to sell us substandard stuff for unreasonably cheap prices (hey.. if i pay $0.005 for something useless and substandard, it's $0.005 wasted) but not in our specifications!

sometimes, i wonder if they know how to do business or not? Neutral

Be happy this is not USA or you would have been sued for child abuse Laughing

the Bear SG

if i was in the US and someone's child did that to me, i'd sue the parents Twisted Evil

av98m SG

Being in the USA I can counter-sue the parents for permanent hearing damage and produce a pile of scientific proof supporting my case. Then they'll have to pay for all the emotional anguish I'll get from not being able to enjoy my hi-fi as much. Laughing

elindra SG

OMG I"M SO FUCKING PISSED WITH MAERSK
THIS IS THE FIRST AND LAST TIME I AM USING THEM

av98m SG

my closing argument

"Your honor, music has been an integral part of my client's life since he was a child and by these parents' careless and irresponsible handling of their son/daughter, his ability to enjoy and immerse himself into the musical experience has been permanently damaged due to the hearing imbalance caused by the irreversible damage to his hearing in one ear. My client also uses music as a tool to remove the stresses of his job and daily life. There is no telling the long term emotional trauma this might cause him..........

blah blah blah"

very close to screaming at my vendor..

they made an excellent quality DVD for us... the specs say to give us in DVD and VCD format.. their VCD is crap..

i rejected the VCD format.. saying it's crap.. and showed them a good quality version.. (actually i don't give a damn about the VCD version as i'll be using the DVD version) but the boss wants a good quality VCD..

not unreasonable after i saw a good version of the VCD..

they keep asking if they can give me DVDs instead of VCDs...

if i wanted just DVDs, i won't even have asked for VCDs..

i'm going to try something later tonight with a ripped DVD version.. if i pull off a good VCD version, they're going to get hammered by me Mad

damn.. they can't even of simple solutions Mad

the Bear SG

okay.. what did maersk do this time? Laughing

Ferret SG

elindra SG
