Upgrade complete!

When I was away for weeks, Mummy gave me a surprise to cheer me up. She took cheeky-boy to the body shop and had it upgraded.

Here's a look of it before the bad boy was re-transformed:


Mummy later decided that she wanted to get a new convertible and it would not match this bad boy if I were just to sit in it. That's when she took my magazine quietly while I was away and added the R8 Spyder body-kit with new set of wheels.

Yesterday, I was at the workshop waiting for the auto parts to be completely retro-fitted and after the weeks of paint job and customization, it was now ready for roadster hogging. Dad was eager to play with it cause Mummy won't let him so, he eventually got his hands on it for now and will be using it for awhile before it goes to my garage.

Here's the look of the new TT, which is now upgraded from Cheeky-boy to Nottiboy Ver 2.0.  R8 Sypder. Or... better now known as the Notti Sypder. (Psst: Mummy said not nice if the TT sign is there, so we got rid of it! Woohoo~!)

Here's the new look:


















Here's the bad boy without the rims yet.
















The full body completed and the new paint job.
















The back making it look vengeful and daring



















The front is fierce and charging



















The shiny rims that will burn them rubbers
















The rear before the spoiler butts out



















And finally... the Notti-boy is ready to strip tease 'em roads...
Jason Statham will need to step aside now. Oh yeah, James Bond also races around some ruins with this bad boy before.

So, if you see this plate on the road... please forgive me... hahaha

Oh, speaking of upgrade... can I upgrade some dumbo's brain?

This incident happened about 3 months back. I had some parcels to be sent to Lebanon at the end of July and was left unsent by UPS causing huge losses to one of the company's subsidiary. A letter demanding rectification to be done was sent to UPS Malaysia on Aug 11th but was only sent out by the secretary via email to them attaching the file on Aug 16th but later followed by snail post.

We received email response from them on Aug 18th but I was lenient though I gave them 24hours to do so. Today, when I asked them for the updates, neither of the staff knew anything about it. So, I checked my email sent box to see that by the 20s of Aug, I actually had emailed the secretary of the Executive Director asking for an update. That email was later bounced back and it went into my inbox after I came back from my overseas trip on 3rd Sept. The bounce was from the mail server, so I know her mailbox is full and in queue prior to the download.

Prior to that, UPS actually wrote back officially on 19th Aug and she received the letter on 21st Aug but no one on earth was actually informed about it. Only just now, at the Quarter Management Meeting, did her assistant took it out to show me and everyone else about it.

To my surprise, the letter was Attention-ed to me! She didn't even bother to email or call or sms or fax or even do anything to tell me I've got a letter which is sent to their office (by protocol, UPS did the right thing to send to the subsidiary instead of HQ as it was a matter of the subsidiary and not the parent holding company). That letter sat in her tray box as we speak!

How on Earth, am I to take legal action against UPS now that it is 2 months late? And the excuse is: "My boss never ask me about it, so I didn't know need to tell. I thought is for my knowledge and filing only". So, please tell me again, where did God misplace her brains? I may not be her direct boss but I'm the Vice President of her Parent Company whereby her boss reports to us! And she knew that all their International Affairs and Company's business in & outs must also go through my dept and especially ME! Yet, everytime, she needs to be spoon fed. If I don't ask, she don't tell or do.

And isn't it normal that you know the letter is addressed to me, so shouldn't I get a copy of the letter? Or at least be made aware of it? She gossips and talks to my secretary every week and she didn't even bother to even talk about it???

Sigh~ sometimes, I just doubt where they may have misplaced their brains.
