Cathay Damansara - Bad Security?

Carved by ♥ F ♥

I don't know where to go, what to do and where to begin... meh. My mood right now is so dead that I just can't bring myself to talk about the good things. I'm torn apart as I type.

So yea, apart from that.. I went through a rather disappointing, frustrating and traumatic experience a few hours after I woke up. I got called in for a last minute job. Had to do a movie review for Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D ... boss heard I was invited for it.. lol and yeah, went to Cineleisure with Rick. Met up with Andy there.. and chilled with Jay. We got our stuff covered, tickets settled, got our food and off we went for work. It should've been only a 2 hour+ outing.

Woohoo... My luck was down the shithole.

Guess what happened?

I lost my handbag in the cinema. 
(つд`)

What a bummer right? I honestly wasn't angry, or pissed regarding me losing my bag with my money or anything. Only thing that got me so damn upset was the items IN the damn BAG!! I had money entrusted to me, souvenirs from my friends from Korea, UK... the items I just purchased as a gift that wasn't cheap at all. My treasured gifts.. and even my b-day presents were in that bag as well! ARGH!! (>_<。) ... It may not mean a thing to you, but to the person who those items belong to.. it means the world. =/

It wasn't even 10 minutes that I realized it wasn't with me, and we were the LAST group to get out of that damn cinema. I dashed to the hall, entered without word and started searching like a German Shepherd sniffing out drugs. I was so upset and frustrated.

I demanded to see the manager, but of course... he was NOT around (or so I was told). So, I spoke to the Supervisor who I did not give a damn to ask for his name.

Please, Cathay managers, start HIRING those who can speak ENGLISH FLUENTLY. It's a pain to hear your staff struggle to speak.

The conversation went like this when I went to the 3D counter first (I have translated it from Malay) :

Me: Who's incharge here?
Guy 1: Him.
Me: I lost my bag, and it has been no more than 10 minutes that I've been gone.
Guy: Where did you put it?
Me: Underneath the arm rest of the chair.

The supervisor followed me to the cinema with Rick and we searched. NOTE: He took less than 5 minutes to help search then he zoomed off saying " Be right back. " I couldn't be bothered. I started digging and searching high and low. Nothing. There were even a few nice guys sitting near my row helping me search. I didn't have time to thank them but if they get to read this, thank you. I thundered out disappointed, only to see that supervisor with a group of workers standing there, talking. I walked to them, questioning furiously:

Me: My bag isn't there. This does not make any sense. It's been LESS than 10 minutes and we were the last to get out of the cinema. And there is no way in hell a customer would see my bag, because I put it where only the person sitting on that seat is able to get it, and in this case... the cleaner cuz he has to clean the leftover popcorn and whatever.



Guy: ... Are you sure? Maybe earlier a customer took it and you didn't realize? I don't know. The cleaners said they didn't take it.
(Yeah, good answer, believe the cleaners before the customer)



Me: That is impossible. Like I said, it was kept at a place nobody could reach apart from myself or the cleaner. Someone would have had to bend down and push me to get to it and there was nobody there apart from my group and your cleaners.


Guy 2: I didn't see anything. We cleaned this place.


Guy 3: Yeah. Nothing at all.


Me: Right... and of course you will say there isn't anything there. Bloody hell, if you want my money, no idea which of the lot of you took it... you can bloody well HAVE IT, but I want my BAG BACK!! My important things are in there. DAMMIT.

Oh, okay.... so, after my furious attacks, they kept quiet then one of them started to "open up" ..

Guy 2: It was only me, him and the other cleaner.
Me: Other cleaner??
Guy 3: Yeah...
Me: WHO? And WHERE are they?
Guy 2: Downstairs...
Me: I want to see ALL of you, do NOT make me call the manager and security.
Guy 3: They're downstairs...
Me: Downstairs WHERE?
Guy 3: Uhh... toilet.... (I found it odd that they hesitated to tell me the location)

Me: Take me there. N O W. I don't care. NOW.

So okay, Guy 2 takes me to some "bathroom" at the very end of the cinema halls. WTF? That's NOT a bathroom? Or maybe I saw it wrongly? All I saw was a big black plastic bag on a table I think (the guy shut the doors fast) ... then he took me downstairs to a room with another 3 people. One lady and 2 other guys. So, Guy 2 told them I lost my bag and if any of them saw it while cleaning.

Obvious answer?

NO. Lol. Of course right? Which idiot would've admitted?

The lady said " I only swept... I don't touch anything there... " and yes, I understand looks can be deceiving but, her tone... I don't know. God forbid if I'm wrong but, she seemed genuine. I didn't trust the other 3 guys. They looked too suspicious. Sorry if it seems like I'm accusing the staff of Cathay Cineplex, Damansara in Cineleisure but... in advance, I will apologize here, and HERE ONLY if it was stolen by a customer and not one of your staff, so do NOT pound me with your legal public offense. I am blogging here to express my frustration with my uttermost disappointment on your staff priorities and cooperation.

So, yet again.. another disappointment. I walked back up to the 3D booth and talked to the supervisor and he said we can make a report. So alright, I accepted that and went down to the counter to make my report. To my surprise, there was this file with a stack of papers, filled with reports. HELLO? If you can receive that many reports, can't you see that there is a problem there? In America, if this happens twice, they would already change their system and tighten their security. Worst case scenario, shut down business. That's how strict and efficient they are. I admire your service and quality given to the customers when viewing. Air-condition is just nice. Cold but not freezing, stable sound system, clear and well positioned screen. Not to mention good service at the food counter.... but, I am truly disappointed with your security service and staff sense of urgency.

At the counter while filling my report, I said:

Me: So, do you have any security here?
Guy: No.... only the supervisor and the trainees. Just the staff....
Me: Oh.. ok, what about security cameras?
Guy: We do not have any security cameras here. In the whole cinema compound, there are none. No security either. Just us staff.

Ok.... wait, WHAT!? This is a public place. A mall, and there is no security system around the cinema compound? OMG. I was in disbelief. Speechless, and my blood boiled at that statement. I started thinking to myself... what if someone got robbed there? What if someone got murdered and stabbed? What if someone was choking and dying? So many what-ifs.

I beg you to please install any form of surveillance. And PLEASE tighten your security. If someone else loses their items after this, I am sorry, but you will be losing more and more customers with your lack of security and priority in serving your customers.

There were more than 2 at the ticket checking booth and a bunch all standing at the 3D booth while I was interrogating them and out of all the staff working, only ONE guy took me to see the other 2 cleaners and the supervisor who helped me file a report and look for my bag.

Where is your sense of customer service?

I really would say more but I really do not want to drag this into a battlefield.

EDIT: I was told that I would receive a phone call by NOON. It's now 1:40pm. Lack of punctuality there. FIX IT. I stayed up all night, worried and restless, are you happy? Also, the guy who called mumbles and I can BARELY understand what he was saying.

 Bleargh. I'm done ranting.

Thanks to Adrean, Rick, Andy, Cherry, Jay, Ruz, Johnny and Kaze for talking to me and cheering me up. :)

Time to Edit!

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Heya folks! It's pretty late where I'm at but I'm just too pressured with work right now. Haha. So, I mentioned in my second last entry that I'll be back?

Let's say... well, hopefully this would be my unofficial come-back. :)

I know I've been neglecting my blog but I hope I can be excused with a decent reason, work. Most of the times I get called out for events or movies for further write-up's and reviews, I'll end up having that little spark which pretty much dies out by the time I get home (ノ-_-)ノ ... Ah! I'm horrible :'(

Anyways, here's hoping I'll be able to balance work and hobbies. Blogging.. was my job until I got hired by several companies to work on their events, marketing and PR work. All in one, they call me the Community Representative ... but, I am an important asset to their company, since I handle the whole community =/ ... Loads of work there. On the sidelines, I stick to designing and gaming :D I'm a hired Beta-Tester by the way, so stay tuned if you'd like some Beta-Keys to play newly launched games by many companies from USA, UK and all around Asia (-_- )ノ

Take that as my little apology eh? Hehe...

That's all. Gonna cut this one short :)

OMGOSH!!

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello all! ❤ Gosh.... It really has been a while, hasn't it? :) So, how are you? My fellow readers, so sorry for the long halt on this blog. I've yet to be forgiven :p ... But my work caught up to me and I really didn't have any time in my hands to squeeze in updates. Yes, I admit I have been out and about for movies and events but *sigh* Things were pretty cramped so each time I told myself I wanted to blog and write a review about something, it doesn't happen (´ヘ`;) My apologies!

Alright, so I'll keep my end of the bargain and try my best to write about what I've watched and what I've been up to? Mmm... though I think you're going have to give me a while to come up with my media haha! I need to look for material then compile them and start writing (-_- )ノ


Apart from all that talk, Hm... been busy working from home too. Our nanny kinda went back for a few months to visit her family, so I've taken the initiative to stay home with my family more. Now that I think about it, as tiring as chores can be... when you actually do it with your family, it'll be worthwhile :) Yes, you'll get the usual constant nagging from the one and only person whom you'll never think of hurting horribly called "Mother" ... *laughs* Got you huh? :p


Mums tend to nag until they annoy you so badly that you just wish there was a "mute" button but trust me, it's a ritual for all of us. You should think how it'd be like when we're way older and our parents are long gone. Yes, we can't stand them... that's also because they've been through what we're just in learning-phases. I can't say much but my mother is a wonderful person. I'll probably tell you more about her in one of my posts but for now, I suggest you to remember who brought you to life and was there for you each time you needed support.


I know some of you won't agree. Because there are broken families, I truly understand but if anything, just be happy that you're alive. Don't think about all the negative things that have been haunting you. See past that and always tell yourself that you're gonna be happy and try hard to achieve your goals. A stepping stone at a time... :)


Well, I'll continue to post more soon ;) Gonna relax for now and watch Criminal Minds.

Feeling Fresh (≧ω≦)

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Early morning to all you night owls, vampires, werewolves.. haha.

Well, it's past 1am for me and its Easter for most of you celebrating it in the Western countries! :) Have a wonderful day spending time with your families going on Egg Hunts and more, so be sure to cherish them. So, finally, i've pushed myself to blog today since i've been bugged and without peace by many bloggers to update my freaking blog/site.. well guys, here you have it.. i've posted! Be happy! :p

And yes.. i've only typed like 3 paragraphs and went on doing something else, my bad.

How's life everyone? Mine would pretty much be at my worst for this past week. I've been down with a pretty bad flu, high fever, sniffles and pretty much everything else from aching body to massive splitting headaches. Thank God i didn't get the cough or i'd be doomed.

Besides my temporary illness, i've head a pretty productive and eventful week. Hosting and of course, being part of events. Don't you like it at times when people recognize your talent and genuinely accept you into society and call you to do the job? It feels good when you've accomplished something over your own hard work. Being part of a Microsoft event was one of the very few events i was happy and proud to be part of, helping out a friend who was in dire need of some assistance, it went well.. and 2 days ago went to support a friend who's in one of the country's most popular Talent Competiton.

Taken from personal experience, you can always find a different spark in every individual. But there's always one flame that everyone has. Determination. You can either be goal oriented and determined to chase your dreams no matter good or bad. As long as theres spirit and determination, theres always a chance you'd be able to succeed. Hopefully, the right thing. ;)

After a nice warm shower with such a crazy weather lately, it felt great coming out fresh. Things have been a little rough lately but after a few heart to heart conversations, i'm surely glad it turned out alright. At least, for now.. and always think positive if you wanna live a better life no?

I can't say much now though since i need to rest as much as i can, but hey? Here's a little something to let you drool.. hahah!

What do you think about the picture on your left? :p Tasty eh? I'll share the recipe with you some other time.. and i have recently watch ALOT of movies and am all geared up to write a few reviews about them.

A little spoiler here would be reviews about movies like Bedtime Stories, Taken, Confessions Of A Shopaholic.. and a few new games, and the big surprise would be a new bang that's in dire need of support and my close relative plays as one of the leads, so will have a nice write up on his behalf to let all of you be awake of their existance!

Newly Improved Blog ( ´∀`)☆

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hello readers! :)

It's been a while since you've been filled in with random encounters i've ran into. I humbly apologize for my delay due to my family members recently swarming in with visits and wanting to spend their days out with me before I depart.. besides getting daily appointments from friends and colleagues alike. I hope that would be enough of a reason to give, considering my absence here.

I don't have anything for today, but I did spend a few hours spicing up my blog's designs. What do you think? (^▽^) I'm actually proud of this. Haha. Maybe the three females are slightly out, but I just wanted to add it there to fill up emptiness? =p Sorry for being really feminine, but hey? I still am female.

My, my.. noticed i've been using those cutesy emotes? I came across a few of them while doing my daily research and recalled my obsession years ago over cute things and anything related to 日本(Japan). As it is, it's either Japanese or Korean fans that are growing worldwide. Cheers to the Japanese and Koreans for their success in dominating the world in a different way, "Entertainment" ( ̄。 ̄)

That aside, i've replaced the default images with my own accounts(which my friend has generously allowed me to borrow/use) and have a new header and banner! It took me a while to understand the codes but i've finally gotten it... *ponders* .. I think? :D

Well, there are a couple of new images up on my blog and a few colour changes, but here's one of my faves:
(=゜ω゜) Cute? Oh, a friend of mine Daisuke has set up a few things for downloads and I decided to use them, on his behalf. I'll be uploading my share of downloads soon so stay tuned and keep your patience. It's a Miku Digital Clock by the way! Click on her! ;) She speaks and then falls back asleep! Haha!

Well, that's about all.. I will post some updates later today, I need to sleep for today and the weekend will be busy days for me. Meetings, documents and of course, spending time with my big bro before he departs too. :( But all the best to him.

Blogging Mood

Carved by ♥ F ♥

Hey all! :)

Hope everyone's doing fine at this moment. My days started off pretty normal for the past few weeks. Working as a freelance event coordinator and music composer before i head back to the States, hmm.. life.

Oh, i've moved and this will probably be my permanent site. The old one, http://ohwatsoever.blogspot.com/ is no longer active therefore no need for more visits there.

To feed that little curious mind of yours.. pondering at the name of my blog, Why BloatedBlob? Well, here's your answer. BloatedBlob is my nickname for my bluetooth connection in my cellphone, therefore explains this. *chuckle*

Having said the above, now onto my blog. Yesterday, a friend added me onto msn and told me to check his blog, and knowing me.. I decided to work on mine.. which I usually update once a month. Haha. So! Here we have it.. I humbly apologize for the simplicity of my designs. My mind hasn't been cooperating with me lately. I spent more than 12 hours on this yet it looks so simple. *shrugs* Besides googling for a decent standard + simple template, I searched for some tutorials on how Blog designing works and made a few personal samples which i've kept in my HDD. On top of that, i've been trying to figure out how to add SWF/Flash files into a blog. Converting them into animated gif's aren't hard but sometimes, due to the amount of frames, it would make the image lag therefore not advisable. I'd rather upload the swf file directly than converting it.

Here's a sample:
Photobucket
Anyway dear readers, from now onwards you'll be seeing quite a number of posts by me related to movies, life, work and many other aspects of humanity so to speak. :p

That's all.
