Few days ago, Erika from Microsoft called again. She claimed that she haven,t receive the XBox receive form, which I already faxed to her days ago.

With her usual snobby tone, she asked me to fax the receive form…. again! Oh, for god’s sake! 2 times I can stand, 3 times is simply too much.

However, later that day, she called again, to inform me that now I can send the form via email. Geeezz!

Yes, you heard that right. Microsoft called me the other day.

Okay, lets not panicking fellows. No, they don’t want me to return the Xbox I won at MSDN Chapter Meeting. Instead, they want me to fax a receive form which I already faxed to them days ago (for those who doesn’t have any idea what is a receive form is, basically its just a formal statement I have received soemthing, and in this case is an Xbox). This snobby female Microsoft rep. claimed that they haven’t receive the fax. Conversation as follow:

Erika (Microsoft rep): Hi I’m Erika. Few days ago you we asked you to fax a receive form. You haven’t fax it yet are you?

Me: (Stunned by her arrogance) I have. Several days ago.

Erika: Could you send me the form again? (Imagine one of those snobby marketing tone)

Me: Ok

Erika: Please fax it to xxxxx…….. Today… (She emphasized the ‘today’ part. If she were an html document, the today word would be inside an <em> tag!!!)

Me: Uh. Okay.

Later on she called me again because I forgot to fax the damn form due to work.

Erika: Am I speaking to Mr Herman?

Me: Yes

Erika: You haven’t fax the receive form aren’t you?

Me: Yes sorry, I’m busy.

Erika: Could you fax it today. This is very important. It’s for our files.

Me: Shut up you slutty bitch! (I wish I could say that)

Erika: Today.. (this time the today word is under <strong> tag).

And we hung up the phone

Geeezzzz. How arrogant! If they think they can buy me by giving me free XBox, they are wrong.

You heard that right! Few days ago, a taxi driver offered me the joy of sex-for-pay.

How’d that happened? Well, last Saturday at 9 PM, after hanging out with my friends, I went to the gym (Novotel) to do a bit of cardio exercises. After 60 minutes of fat burning excercises, I decided to go home by cab.

Maybe because I dressed like a tourist and took a cab from a hotel, the taxi driver assumes that I’m a tourist and starting his pimp mode:

Few seconds of uncomfortabe silence.

Few minutes later he started babling on how muscular he was when he was young. Then he started giving me some tips on how to sculpt your muscle and how to gain mass without protein supplements.

After eating lots tasty foods and taking a loong nap I feel alot better than yesterday.

When you are sick, you want special treatment. But I ain’t getting any special treatment for me today. I need to rest, but I have to finish many things.

I think I’m going to get a teribble cold. I hope this is just a plain influenza. Not the nasty Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, Thyphus, nor Hepatitis.

Look closely at the excerpt taken from Encarta below:

Dengue Fever, seasonal viral infection characterized by fever, headache, extreme pain in the joints and muscles, and skin rash. A more serious but less common form of the disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), may cause severe and fatal internal bleeding. ¹

I do have a rash on my arms…
