I was down with flu and sore throat since Wednesday and didn’t take the day off till I finished arranging things for my boss flight to India. After that, I took the Friday off to sleep away the flu bug. Thank God it worked! I did not want to miss the following stuffs that made my weekend great!
First, I went to a friend’s place for some makan feast and guess what did one of our friends made for us?
Banana Choc Muffins
Banana Muffins with White Chocolate
Black Currant “dipped in Brandy” Cake
Nothing beats home made cakes and muffins! Thanks to the multi-talented chef!
Then, as the Saturday progressed, I received an unexpected phone call from MPH.
MPH: Is that Gina Cheng?
Me: Yes, speaking. Who is this? *Suspicious that the person on the other line wanna sell me insurance or credit card*
MPH: I am calling from MPH. Adam Lambert’s Rolling Stone is here…
Me: Serious ah????
MPH: *Chuckled* Yes.
Me: Aiyoh.. I ingat sudah habis.. tak sampai Malaysia!
MPH: Ada.. ada… you nak?
Me: Mesti nak lah.. I datang sekarang jugak!
MPH: LOL!! Ok ok.. you datang Customer Service lah ya.. hujung sana…
Me: Ok ok set! Thank you! Thank you!
When I put down the phone, I said to my friends, “That was Adam Lambert.”
LOL! Thanks to Ann for leaving my number with MPH ONE Utama and I can’t believe they actually called me back! And also thanks to all my friends who had tirelessly searched and hunted this magazine for me the past one month!
So, after the scrumptious lunch and chit chat, I drove all the way to One Utama only to get lost at Sunway Pyramid. Don’t ask me how.. the road signboards in KL are totally UNRELIABLE!!!
Finally!! Adam Lambert is in my hands… Muahahahha!
To top up the already really, really good weekend, an old friend from Taiping gave me a packet of 10 wan tan mee! So, my mom, aunt and sis made some dishes to compliment the wan tan mee; char siew, shredded steamed chicken, wan tan, choy sum and this time, we get to add as much char siew or wan tan as we like and ate to our heart’s content! Thanks to Cee! 
Home made wan tan mee!
I hope your weekend was just as great!

Yuin: Wei.. don’t simply say say ah!
hcpen: I didn’t make the noodles lah. A friend bought for me all the way from Taiping.
If you are asking about what is the mixture for the kon lou wan tan mee sauce, well my mom added thick soya sauce, soya sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and a bit of soup base from chicken stock. 
Cee: So pai seh.. the moment I got down the lift, I remember I forgot to wipe my mouth. Hahahahah!!! Thanks, dear for the wan tan mee! Very generous of you!
zewt: One a Glambert, always a Glambert!
Ann: Yeah.. I can’t believe it man! Customer service actually exists in Malaysia. LOL! Thanks MPH ONE Utama! You rock!

Wow… your long awaited magazine has arrived…. GOOD FOR YOU! Actually the customer service in bookstores is really good ….. I can attest the efficiency of the one in Kinokuniya KLCC too…
July 12th, 2009 at 11:46 pm
shorthorse: Actually, it’s really a pleasant surprise! I was so shocked that they actually called me.. I thought customer service in Malaysia has gone down the drain. Bravo to MPH!
July 13th, 2009 at 12:03 am
Ahahahahaha…. actually some of the private sector customer svc is really good leh….. bookstores for one…& digressing a bit… Toyota car service centres too leh….. they call to reconfirm service appointments & they also send customer review forms after…… plus you get RM discount if you answer…ahahahahahah!

shorthorse: Seriously??? Hehehe! I guess that’s the best part of owning a foreign car huh? The local car dealers don’t even give a shit.
