Night Owl Chatterboxes - Part XXXVII!

SydneyLibrarian SG

Actually I was pretty impressed at the service once I got into the building! Wink Friendly, courteous staff, and even tho there were lots of people around, staff were stationed almost everywhere to guide people as to where to queue up.

Also heard a lady telling her friend "This is the fast part... once u get a number & wait to be called, very fast already lor!" Laughing

SydneyLibrarian SG

Eh... dun complain leh, I think you guys have pretty good stuff compared to some of the food people eat in Sydney.

Sandwiches, sandwiches, and more sandwiches! Roast pork sandwich, beef sandwiches, cheese & tomato sandwiches, vegemite sandwiches Rolling Eyes I mean, once in awhile is ok... but I don't think I can tahan eating sandwiches every day.

the Bear SG

we spoilt our citizens...

we're not happy with it but a past No.1 listened to the con-men-sultant so much that we were hamstringing ourselves.. to the extent of compromising security..

now, we have a steady No.1 who told us: do what you can, be courteous and never compromise security.. never try to satisfy the 1% who will complain no matter what we do..

he's right.. and hey, as long as we do our duties well, and people are reasonable, everyone is happy Smile

hope your experience with us was good Very Happy

the Bear SG

i like melbourne better..

sandwiches, pho, souvlaki, noodles, pizza, pasta... Very Happy

SydneyLibrarian SG

Ya... that's right, no matter how hard we try sometimes, we can never please 100% of our customers.

Haven't had any bad experience with ICA... Smile Even though the staff who served me today was very very busy, she still was able to make small talk with me... it's a refreshing change from the stoney faced staff I see so often in stores/shops across the island!

Actually, I didn't eat much mee pok (twice nia) nor wanton mee (none at all! Surprised ) whilst here because ... the Mee Pok and Wanton Mee at Singapore Chom Chom is really goooood!! Laughing

One of my friends who moved from Sydney to Melb said he preferred Melb much better cos there was so much FOOD around! Laughing I must really try & make it to Melb sometime this or next year, seeing I've a few friends / relatives there Wink

the Bear SG

oh.. talking about being tired a while ago, my boss told me to take the day off on monday.. but there's a meeting she told me to attend too Laughing

good right?

hopefully, after this week, i can take some time off Razz

Rhonda SG

Actually, I think our civil service scores tops! The CID lady at the counter when I tried to get my police clearance was very patient in explaining to me why I needed an extra letter before the procedure can be done. She was very sweet-natured. Very Happy

Rhonda SG

Izzit you take time off to celebrate me not being around anymore, ah? Mad

Laughing

SydneyLibrarian SG

Surprised

You mean you didn't go to that stall in Lucky Plaza for wanton mee?

After you brought me there last time, I kept thinking about how yummy the wanton mee is!! Yummm..... I think I may go there tomorrow for lunch Embarassed Mr. Green

Rhonda SG

I'm quite surprised that Melbourne has more food varieties compared to Sydney cause I thought in Sydney, the restaurants are also very cosmopolitan?

Rhonda SG

Nope, I haven't gone there. The Singapore Chom Chom restaurant sells wanton mee just like theirs. Wink

SydneyLibrarian SG

ROFL!

Tell your boss that next week is Family Week, and you'll have to take some time off Twisted Evil

the Bear SG

i dunno.. the past 2 months, i've been taking things a day at a time... looking at the calendar for stuff to do...

after i've erased the things i had to do, a whole lot of new things appeared...

the gabrament here says 'work/life' balance...

it's BS Laughing

SydneyLibrarian SG

Ya... fast & efficient some more. Smile In Sydney, some of the people really make me wanna spew blood! Mad Slow, and sometimes they get very muddle-headed & get things wrong! Take Telstra, for e.g. They disconnected my broadband service on an earlier date when I specifically told them I needed my broadband until a specific date! Rolling Eyes Apa machiam... must be a blonde who served me Laughing

How is your PR process coming along, btw? Forgot to ask you when we met. Do you have much else to do?

SydneyLibrarian SG

Ya... lots of diff. restaurants around, but mainly in the city area, and as I live so far away, I seldom get a chance to go into the city. Sad And Sydney is very big... makes getting around much more difficult than Melbourne....

Rhonda SG

Ta for asking! Wink Monday I'm going to make a mad dash to get my Medical check-up for the PR application completed here. I think for health professionals, it costs $160++ for the full check. Apparently, we need to have more tests done compared to the normal folks, like we need HIV and Hepatitis tests done as well. I remember that I was soooo relieved to learn that I was negative for HIV because I've had needle-prick injuries before! Laughing

So, getting that done on Monday, then maybe do some last-minute shopping, then rush home to pack!

the Bear SG

hmm.. empty stomach and 2 bottles of Limonya later, i feel slightly buzzed Laughing

which is cool considering it takes about 4 pints of guinness to do that

SydneyLibrarian SG

Don't you know? It's a 'work/life' balance for themselves & themselves only!! Laughing
