what's your worst holiday?

Sundaytimes has a frequent flyer section where they'll feature a person each week to talk about their best and worst experience. The guy they featured yesterday talked about his experience at this very famous brand at Champs-Elysees, Paris. He had the exact same experience as me! The brand is regarded as a status symbol around the world, with branches world-wide including Singapore, but yet, in the city the brand originated from, I got nothing but lousy service that cannot be compared to the man selling baguette by the roadside.

"We were waiting for someone to attend to us for 25 minutes when a guy walked in and got attended to immediately." Yup, HELLO! I'm here. Been here for very long!! But here is this guy with a nice suit and you run to him with your tongue sticking out and he didn't even buy anything! "I went to the supervisor and asked him politely what the deal was, and his excuse was that he didn't see us." Couldn't even find any supervisor that I could complain to. Had to ask the security person there. If I didn't make myself seen or heard, I'll probably be still standing there right this moment and waiting for the people with their nose in the air to accidentally bump into me before they realize that I'm in the shop. The most horrid part was they didn't even prepare the tax rebate form properly after I spent a bomb in that shop. Wasted my time at the airport. I'll never ever buy anything from this terrible brand again.

I really like Paris, everything was great except for this stupid incident. And it's the last thing i did in Paris somemore. And nope, this trip is not my worst holiday. My worst holiday was to a nearby island, nothing on that tiny island except the resort. The pool looked great in the photo but it turned out to be as big as the bathtub in the toilet. Wanted to post some photos but I think I lost the cd containing the photos. It's somewhere but my house is still messy from all the mbbs studying. No time and no mood to pack. The bag that I brought for my clinical exams is still where I left it on my last exam day. Tendon tapper and everthing still inside. What is wrong with me??!!

Going to start work soon. The night duty list came out today. Quite strange to see my name there. Feeling excited, yet nervous and terrified, depressed yet happy at the same time.
