Had a bloody irritable day trying to develope some pix at one of those DIY photo kiosks.
All I ever wanted was to develope 4x wallet photos for a customised farewell pressie for 4x colleagues in the office but it took me like one bloody day to accomplish that.

First of all, I saved the pix into my thumbdrive and brough it to the kiosk at Hougang Mall, but the 2 kiosks there refused to read my card. I can still keep my cool for wasted trip number one cuz well, I partitioned my thumbdrive so it could be possible that the machines were trying to read that part which was password protected. So I ran the errands that I set out to do and decided to try again in the afternoon on my way to the gym, after transferring the pix to my bro's thumbdrive and to my handphone's multimedia card, just in case.

And as luck will have it, this time round, the machines can detect the thumbdrives but then, the file size is too big to be read! WTF??? I was now really getting pek cek cuz I need the pix tmr lor... wasted trip number 2 and my blood is almost boiling.

And so, as I had a dinner appointment in Tampines, I decided to give it one more shot.
So, the one at Century Square can detect my drives and obviously has enough RAM or whatever it is that finds the file size readable, but then there is a minimum requirement of 10 prints, else they will charge additional $5! Tamade! Usually its between $2 to $2.50 for 4 prints lor... Wasted trip number 3 and blood pressure almost at an all time high...

Final stop, Tampines Mall... A couple in front was flirting and browsing through their entrire fucking thumbdrive, discussing which one they should choose. And mind you, they have like 460 over pix ok? I was seriously out of patience, after waiting for like 15min and they showed no sign of finishing. So I asked the guy if they are quite done yet and he had the cheeks to sheepishly tell me they are still selecting... grrrrrrr.... Being the civil person that I am, I decided not to make a scene but told them to hurry the fuck up cuz I dun have all day.

They should seriously consider charging morons who hog up the kiosk... maybe like those neoprints machines which set a time limit for ppl to decorate their prints. If you take longer than that, then you would have wasted your $10 on some lousy printouts... In this case, maybe the machines will then automatically print out all the 460 over pix cuz they failed to adhere to the time limit.. That should teach them... muuuhahhahaha

Really, I dun understand why ppl can't bloody choose their pix at home and just print them out, instead of wasting everybody's time by discussing and debating which ones to print...

So anyways, I finally managed to have my turn and I took less than 5 min to print mine...

p.s. Dun ever try to print your pix at the kiosk in Hougang Mall's basement.
