EXAMS ARE OVER!

I survived my first sem in ulu NTU! Although it's only short 3.5 months, it seems like eternity to me. Definitely learnt a lot and grew up along the way. And this marks the end of my hall life living with sm goh. :) One thing that I regretted was not taking part in much uni activities, and the lack of a cca. Makes my uni life quite mundane so far. But when the projects are here, I'm glad that I don not have any other ccas to worry about. Talk about being ironic. Don't have much friends here in NTU, and it's quite sad that my tutorial classmates are mostly hi-bye friends :(

Haha, anyway, I saw this article in the newspaper and I was reminded of business law.

Bugis management’s construction work has caused damage to her shop’s apparels.

A lady boss, Peggy Heng called the papers to express her dissatisfaction. During the interview with the lady boss, she said that in her female apparels retail store, there’s only a separator made of metal wiring, between the ceiling. Last Friday, when construction work was being carried out, no protection layer was placed above the separator. Hence, resulting in the cement dust falling from the top, causing the apparels to be covered with thick layers of dusts.

She mentioned, when she came during her opening hours at 1pm and upon opening the shutter, she was startled by the dusts all over the place. She also commented that the apparels were filled with dusts. Even if she were to send them for cleaning, there would be no guarantee on 100% clearance of the dust. She’s also worried that she could be blamed, should the dust causes skin or other irritations to her customers. Therefore, these clothes should no longer be sold and would cause her losses to amount up to $5000+.

She then immediately lodged a complaint to the management. However, the management only sent a cleaner to clear up the dust with a broom; which is impossible to remove the dusts. Hence, she had to clean the entire shop with a vacuum cleaner, all by herself. She was thus, unable to keep her store opened for that day.

“It was a public holiday that day and the crowd was overwhelming. Many of my blog readers also made a trip down to purchase the apparels. However, I had to explain that my shop has to be closed for the day due to my shop’s misfortune; resulting in my loss of opportunity and them making a wasted trip.”

It really got me thinking...can write one whole essay on whether she would be allowed to claim the losses :)

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! Back to life once again.
