while waiting

i'm waiting for 12pm so i can check my tutorial balloting. yesterday was quite a bad day. firstly, i went really early to school so that can start balloting at 9am when it opened. so me and duan hui were there, laptops all set up and ready. 9am. sign into cors. go to tutorial balloting. and the thing tells me: "system overloaded or down for maintainence." :o what da heck?! we purposely came early to ballot cos we got lectures the whole day and got no time to ballot. anyway, that was the situation for the whole day. don't know what happened to the system. saw people trying to access the system during lectures but of course it didn't work. the sch had to extend the deadline, 3 times.

then, after my lectures, i went to the tution center with andrew. not for tution lah. i just need to know that there's a teacher nearby in case i need help for maths. anyway, we decided to eat macdonalds for dinner. since it was so crowded (dinner crowd) we decided go eat after his tution. so after tution, we happily went. around 8.55pm. (btw, i'm boycotting that certain macdonalds. read on to see why) i was queueing up. the supervisor (i assume she's the supervisor cos she was wearing a different uniform) opened another counter so i went there. me and andrew were going to eat mcspicy meal. anyway, i asked if still have mcspicy. she said have. i was kinda doubtful cos i didn't see any mcspicy around but she being the supervisor, i trusted her. so i ordered 2 sets. then, she said something (she was talking really soft) i thought she was confirming my order. actually she was asking if i want upsize or normal size. she had this very annoying expression, can't really describe, like "i'm only here cos i have to be so hurry up and order". anyway, then, she asked me what sauce i wanted. i said chili and ketchup. for some reason, she gave me curry sauce instead of ketchup. i didn't want to talk to her any more than i had to so i didn't say anything. then, she told me, go have a seat and wait for my burgers. i was kinda annoyed at this. i specifically asked her, she should have told me that have mcspicy but will have to wait. anyway, like i said, i didn't wanna talk to her so i just went.

later on, i saw her walk out of the mac. anyway, i was complaining to andew about her. eating our fries. 9.15 already. wondering what happened. so i went to check. there were 2 mcspicy there, so i thought that was ours. so i asked the counter girl, can i collect my food? and she gave me this confused look, like she didn't know i was waiting. obviously they had forgotten my order. so i told her, i ordered from this girl at this counter, indicating it. they found out that the person/supervisor had left. so they presumably couldn't verify that i had ordered. those 2 mcspicy were obviously intended for someone other than us. anyway, the counter girl asked if i could wait another 5 minutes. i told her, i've already been waiting since 9. she looked very very unsure. heard her asking the kitchen if got anymore meat. i'm thinking, what do you mean by that? do you mean that if got no more meat, i'm not going to get my food??! anyway, in the end, she gave me the food. but my dinner was ruined. what kind of service is that? supervisor some more. give customer that kind of attitude, then forgets the customer's order. i am not going back to that macdonalds. what horrible service.
