Update #1: The terrible experience in a hair saloon in Butterworth, Penang

If you are a girl, I'm sure there will be at least 1 hair salon that YOU EXPERIENCED at least once UNFAIR CHARGERS or UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE. and so do I. But this is intolerable to me. So I wrote this.

Please read the first post if you haven't, because this post relates with the first post.

So, after I wrote that first blog post, the next day, the owner of the hair salon (also the hair stylist that do my hair) facebook messaged me.

In the previous post, I did not write any sentence that me conclude that the hair stylist actually lies to me. So, in his point of view, even himself reading my post, he feels like actually he was cheating? Or did he indirectly cheat that he didn't even realise, and only realised it after reading my blog and know what my feeling is?  I don't know. They said it's difficult to read a girl's mind, and I think, man's mind is hard to read as well, or a businessman's mind?


This revokes my anger mode again. What does he mean that I CAN SAY HE CHARGES HIGH, BUT CAN NOT SAY HE CHEATS ME?  I actually prefer to refer this to he, himself. Not sure if he has other co-founder or what, so I don't use the word THEM.  I only have trust issue on HIM only.

And he offered me compensation. 

What sort of compensation? Do you think at this point of time, by giving me back RM45 I would feel better, wipe this off from my  memory even after he messaged me,

You can say that we charge high, but you can not say we cheat you. 

Bullshit.


and so, I drove to the hair salon and to take picture of that price list yang dikenali sebagai price list terbaru, dikenali sebagai the latest price list that only applicable for 31 days. and to have our conversation recorded as well in order to protect myself if I decided to take this to NCCC, National consumer complaint centre. and I will have more evidence.



Here's the price list

 I highlight the price for my hair length in the red box.

No "promotion" words. 

No 30% discount written

No stickers

He claimed that because the price list for hair colouring is written "RM140+", because the "+" sign, so, I was charged RM150, even after 30% discount, and the fact that he was so kind that he actually practice invisible discount and it is totally normal and it doesn't sound strange at all, and it shouldn't sound strange. Great. *rolled eyes*


And then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spotted that the hair treatment price written on price list is RM140. Without the "+" sign, and he quoted me the price of RM150. My anger level spikes again. P.s: It's HAIR TREATMENT PRICE not hair colouring price. (Click THIS if you want to refer back to the scenario)

So, I asked him in facebook.

Dear clever readers, let's do a multiple choice question. Please circle the answer by referring to the conversation above.

Why did the hair studio want to charge Lynn Ong Chia Lin Rm 150 for hair treatment instead of RM140 written on the price list? 

a. Because the hair studio has bad math calculation.
b. Because the hair studio actually purposely want to charge higher.
c. No answer, because it's not in the conversation.
d. All of the above.

 He still claims he has clear conscience.

*roll eyes*

Next post will be up soon. I have read up the The Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999. I didn't finish reading it. I only read the section that I think that may help in the situation like this.

We are not stupid, don't treat your customers as dumbass. 

Terrible experience at a hair saloon in Butterworth, Penang

I am currently on anger mode when I am writing this. Because this happened few hours before I post it. Please feel free to share this, because what I experienced is intolerable for most women and some man.


I want to colour my hair, and I don't know which hair saloon to go in Butterworth. My mum told me there's a new hair saloon. So, I went. Let's call this hair saloon "XXX" first.

When I reach this hair saloon, it's empty. No customer. It's sunday, man.


But the staff and the boss are friendly and attentive, and so, let's give it a try.


The hair stylist who handle me is the boss, 26 years old man, worked at quite a few hair saloon before (according to him). He quotes me RM150 for my hair length without letting me see the price list. This is my hair, shoulder length or medium length.

RM150 for coloring for medium length hair, it's acceptable for me.

Meanwhile, he tries to persuade me go with the treatment service, which will cost me another RM 150. I didn't take it.

Then while waiting for my colouring done, I search this XXX hair saloon in facebook. Then I find out that they are actually having this promotion, 30% off for all chemical service. which including colouring service.

P.S: promotion only valid from 01 october till 31 OCTOBER.

I choose to wait for the boss to tell me. It's a young man, just started doing business for half a year time.Maybe he just forgot. Maybe.

Then the student/junior hair stylist washes my hair. While washing I asked about the price for perming. The student said he will pass me the price list later.

When the student passes me the price list, the boss takes it and asks what else I wanna do. I said, wanna do hair perming next time maybe.

I insist that I want to have a look at the price list.

I didn't take the picture of it, but this is what I remember.

                                 medium length             long length
colouring                      RM140+                     RM180+ (I'm not so sure with the exact amount, but it's less than 200)
Digital Perm                 RM180+

I ask the boss if my hair is considered long or medium. He says my hair is medium length. and perming will cost me another RM180.

so, I just kept quiet. That time I just wanna let it go, and next time just don't go there anymore.

Then the boss tries to persuade me to do hair treatment again. I am upset deep down then I just explode.

ME:  You didn't even want to mention there is a 30% discount promotion going on. You have no intention to tell me. Even the treatment also, you didn't want to tell me there's actually 30% discount going on.

Boss looks shocked to me at that time and quickly replies me.
Boss: The price I quote you is discounted price.

Let's do some math calculation, if the price given is discounted price, its actual price is RM214 (RM150/0.7x10) which is higher than the long hair coloring service that quote on the price list.

after he tells me that, he quickly walk off and serve another just walk in client.

I talk to the student.

Me: Your boss is not being honest.

Student replied: Actually I also forgot about this.

WTFish...

Boss comes again and asks: How did you find out about this?

Me: I saw it in facebook.

Boss: How did you see it leh?

Me: I search your page in facebook and find out about this loh.

Boss: oh....
Then the boss walks away.

Then when I'm going to pay, the student asked " How much we should charge her?"

Boss: RM150

He says it while cutting another customer's hair.

Me: You seriously not going to give me the 30% discount even after I saw the promtion that you posted in Facebook.

Boss: The price shown is price list is actually discounted price, it's a new price list. Just started this month.

The student stood there without saying a word and looks sorry to me.

Still remember the promotion picture?

The promotion is only for October. So, he made a new price list that only valid for 31 days.


So, I pay the bill, and walk off.


I would like to emphasize again, that throughout this 1 hour, Boss didn't tell me that he actually discount for me. and all the price quoted is already discount. He has no intention to tell me till I saw it in facebook.  And it's really rare that business man don't tell customers that they give special price or promotion to the customer when they actually did it. And to some business man, even when they didn't give discount, they actually tell you that they did.



The price list that shown to me do not have any "PROMOTION" words, or sticker on it, it doesn't look new either.



P.s: I mosaic the name because it is a young businessman, he still has a long way to go. I hope, as a young businessman, as least don't take your customers as dumbass.

Mutual understanding

Caution : this is a post posted using iPhone and it was done at 2.46 am. So a lot grammar and spelling mistakes are expected. I'm sorry for that.

I remember when I was first year, one of the lecturer knew that I have a boyfriend at that time and it was a long relationship. He told me it is hard for a vet student to maintain the relationship as it is hard to get mutual understanding between 2 people from 2 different kind of world which we would be taught to think an act differently . And to be honest with you, I think most of the vet (including me ) are proud of their occupation and it could easily mistaken as ego ( or it is ego?) by others. Because we are so proud of our work, 

Then I realize. It doesn't only apply in relationship, but as well as in friendship. 

Sometime people make jokes on my future career. I tried my best to be as open, as cheerful as possible. But sometime I guess it was too over that I may feel insulted. 

I don't blame on them, because it is not their fault or my fault either. Just that our perception is different. Which they see animals or pets not as an important beings in their life, so maybe try can make fun with it. Which they don't see people deal with animals as someone cool. 

Let's make a simple example. 

I see animal keepers cool. Do you? 

Of coz I see vets cool. Hahaha. Do you? 

I see dog whisperer cool. Do you? 

Just some point that I am not happy with. 

1.  They said, u put finger into dogs anus. 

Ok, I came across this question for FEW times! Some said take temperature. Some said don't know. Some received wrong info. Some miscommunicate. 

Oh God. We take temperature using thermometer. I know we are incredible, but not to te level we can take rectal temperature using our own finger! We insert thermometer into rectum!! Not finger. 

In some situation we might put in our little finger for some purpose. And only do it when necessary, such as suspect disease involve prostate gland. 

2. *some animals suddenly show up out of no where* eh, faster communicate with them.  You are et right. 

You gotta be kidding me. Trust me, I wish I can speak animal language more than you can think of. Joke only works once. Let's don't make it a lame joke.

* imagine me listen to this everytime with different people. Not only friends, but with my family, even sometime monkey does this as well. Haish. 

And the list goes on. 

And good night ppl. 

Xoxo 

shut up

Sometime I have this kind of moment I don't feel like talking.

Don't feel like chatting. Just wanna be quiet..

Let everything be silent. Let silence rules the moment.

Deep down, in heart, it can't be noisier.

Heart myself screaming, calling for help, asking for peace.

I'm confused.
Who can help me?
Who can save me from the mess I made?


=(

Pathetic racist

Racist, isn't born, it is taught. I hope one day, I can shape you into a better human being.





Our true nationality is mankind.

Don't you agree?

What Gwiyomi Taught Me

If you are a friend in my facebook, you must have been spammed by my GWIYOMI video.
I'm so sorry if it annoyed you very much. But if it makes you laugh, my pleasure! hahaha

Yes, I did Gwiyomi! Surprise!! Or maybe not so surprised. hahaha


So, earlier I hang out with a gang of new friends, and one of them is Kevin and he did Gwiyomi video!

Which is so damn cute! Super cute!!
This is his video.

decided not...to post his video first.
I post mine first, so that later it won't feel so much difference..

So it's mine version. aka Clumsy Version.

Can check it out. The lyrics and meaning is in the info column in youTube. *watch at your own risk oke?!*


Ok. so I watch Keven's rabbit version of Gwiyomi, which is super duper cute.

this as a ganti rugi.. compensate the time feeling vomit watching my Gwiyomi. (P.s: you can find him in facebook or instagram. )


K. Back to topic.
So after watching this video, and I showed it to Baba Ong. Baba Ong said, waaa, so leng zhai one ah. A lot view oh.

Then I decided to make one of myself. to impress my dad. *totally in a wrong way hahaha.* *Maybe a better and proper way is to use academic result to make my dad feels proud.*


But no harm trying something new. and that's what I did.

This is where I shoot the video. in my brother's bedroom. Because it would be so much tidier than mine. hahaha. and maybe brighter.
Stack all the bantal to put my phone high enough to have better angle of myself.


All these steps even though most are copied or meant to be like that, BUT! I still try to choreograph a bit wtf. hahaha. So, this is my hard work.

And all these took me about 5 hours I guess. You know it is very hard to transform a not-cute-at-all-Plus-garang-auntie into a not-so-cute-girl. hahaha. So it takes ages for me to finally get a few shot done.

Then with the courage that I don't know where it came up from, I posted it up on youTube!!!
I never think of myself doing things like this, hahaha. 

 No jokes. If you never post stupid things up, you seriously have no idea how much courage it needs and quite a stressful time for me to worry about critics from people.
And yeah! friend dear friend are those who critise about u first.

Not so bad la.. they just comment like OMG.. and yeah, it may be... *OMG, u r so cute* *think positive*

But seriously, what do you want me to reply then...

"Oh, your hell?"
 
at least you ask like, you too stress? Then I can reply, ya lo ya lo.

Theirs wasn't that bad. Trust me. There is another one. keep scrolling and read.

Then I geram btol. I post another one up. 

Get more encouraging comments. Thank you so much!!
but ya, people that best in criticizing always hide somewhere around us.

So, one of it comment.

"OH NO..... "
come on. What should I reply again?

"oh f*cking yes!"

Sometime I feel sick receiving comment like this. You can't accept this video, watch, then walk away. You comment oh No, what should I reply. hmmmm... If you find a way for me to reply, comment below, thank you. I would seriously wanna know what kind of reply that you wish me to reply. 
But I still appreciate that you watch it. hahaha.

some give a better comment,
like

"your moves not smooth"

"ok lar, first attempt"

Thank you! =)
If I wanna be pro in Gwiyomi, I would practice more. Thank you for watching and comment though. =D You guys are awesome!

Then a lot people especially vet students and vet comment hair stand up.
So I put up another post, hahahhaa.
"Watch with caution"

 This is the last post.
I should have block this from the vet students/vet actually. Vet circle very small only.. Hen kong bu de. hahaha.

Some even share terus to the vet we know. Hahaha. Yes.
and I almost faint out. haha.. Haish, next time sure kena kaw kaw when I volunteer there.

Today was a hard time for me. It was a hard time for me before I realised something.

1. Before I admit that that video of mine is kinda  really disgusting. hahaha

When you admit the flaws that you have, it makes your life easier.

2. There is no drug for regret.

So think twice before you do something.
 I once regret. I'm no so brave, I'm a coward also. Very chicken one.
But then, since I did it already, so, I continue doing this.

The best return is when someone gave positive comment to me.
"nice"
"hiaopo lyn, love you"
"nice, for first attempt"
"I laughed till stomachache"

Then I realized. Sometime it's not too bad that a stupid act of mine can make so many people laugh.
 I cheer them up. maybe. hahaha.

3. You only lived once. Be it stupid or what, at least you have something to talk about when you are old.

Someone asked me, when I look back after 20 years, what would I think.
hmmmmm... It's stupid. Yeah, it is. But, with those comments and the video that records my youth, I would say, not bad la, at least. I was this young and Gwiyomi before. *vomit*

Once again! Thank you for watching the video. And I'm really sorry if it annoys you, or makes you feel disgusting.

with spirit of Gwiyomi, Kamsamida!!

Week of kemalangan

After a week of work-your-ass-off-week, here comes the week of kemalangan.

Yes, it's a week of kemalangan. Nothing good happen in this week. *got la, junior organize winter festival, ate tasty tang yuan, thank you. surgery workshop, therio result still not bad, gossip with seniors, or maybe because of gossip, now all the bad thing come back to me.. KARMA sucks. hahahaha*

Maybe PMS plus frustration plus tiring plus emotional unstable

All this add up my negative energy!
I have been so tired for these few days.

Stress for a lot of things and I damn need a break. How can vet students survive all these?
Stress for assignment and report, rotation, never ending exams and quiz.

And now what's more?! Peer pressure?
Why we fight at this fucking time. Yes la, I'm the one started this argument. So, no one to blame but me.


Be honest, today I hardly pay attention during lecture.
Can I have a break?
I need a break!

6 days more! then I have a long break!
It's a study week but I'm really need to recharge myself.
What's wrong with me?

God, please show me some love.
Brighten my day with great things.
