Darryn Turbocharged April 25, 2012 Share April 25, 2012 Didnt know that, you mean the carpark only for kopitiam card holder to park?! Got one hour free parking, and mostly no need to queue. I parks there all the time - especailly when taking kidlet to dance class at the CC. Much more convenient than the mall... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged April 25, 2012 Share April 25, 2012 aiyah...u jus got to act class next time.... knn...now service staff flooded with so many foreigners...try this ok, look into their eyes to have the connection, then smile....then you look at their name tag if any....call them by their name...Eg, You: Hi there (Smile) and pause Waitress: Yes sir, how many of you? You: Jus the 2 of us, oh yes, could you help me to secure 2 corner seats, pls... (Smile) Waitress: Sir, our corner seats are reserved for threesome... You: Look into her eyes, Mary, thanks my wife and I would like some privacy and I understand you do have an empty space over there there (pt it to her)...can I take that? (Smile big big). Waitress: Ok sir, this way.... You: Thank you so much Mary, you are such a sweet girl...hand me a complimentary note, I need to pen it down and so that your mgt can recognise your effort.... The rest are history and you will get good service for the rest of your time in the restaurant... Remember to tip her a little...next time you there, you can "zoom in" ..... Exactly - if you ask like this, then you stand a huge chance of getting what you want - it makes the waitress / captain WANT to help you, rather than it being a chore.

Mazdaowner Moderator April 25, 2012 Share April 25, 2012 There is some imporant correction to your definition of a Sinkie... A person who does nothing but whine and bixtch about the country and political system in any and every possible opportunity and eventually accepts the shxt and gets screwed every now and then but considers it a Godsend, whenever his Master tells him that he needed to be screwed for his own good.
