If there was a World Championship for "WHICH T&T FAN WILL GET HER CDs LAST" then I'll probably be WORLD CHAMPION almost every single time! What I don't get is WHAT THE FRACK IS TAKING SO DAMN LONG FOR THEM TO INSPECT HARMLESS JAPANESE IDOL CDs!?!?! I mean, if they're seriously gonna really put actual work into this whole "inspecting" job of theirs, shouldn't they not waste time on harmless T&T CDs and maybe focus more on the big shipments that could possibly be illegal smuggling of black market electronics, terrorist weapons, drugs and/or immigrant prostitutes?!?! Even if their money-faced undignified greed wants to score some "blackmail/fine" money from such items, it really would be nothing compared to the "blackmail/fine" they would score from a shipment of... cellphones & PDAs? And not only are they greedy, they're also VERY LAZY. A phonecall with the EMS officer 5 minutes ago gave me this information:

18 Apr - Item departed from Japan
19 Apr - Item received at port; into customs inspection
20 Apr - Item in customs inspection
21 Apr - Item in "customs inspection" (in which it's freakin' bogus coz I bet NOBODY CAME IN TO WORK ON SATURDAY EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO; hence the quotation marks)
23 Apr - Item [STILL] in customs inspection

DO THEY NEED AN ENTIRE MONTH TO INSPECT STUPID CDs???

Seriously!!!!!

Last I checked with Ami on Saturday night, she also haven't received her CDs, which was shipped from CDJapan only a day after they shipped her KAT-TUN CDs! If in a few days I open my mailbox and find a PIECE OF PAPER instead of a box (in which it means I have to "retrieve" the item at the post office and by "retrieve" I mean I'll have to PAY SOMETHING at the counter), I'm gonna be HELLA PISSED OFF. I've actually changed my CDJapan mailing address from my home to my apartment because I had this feeling that my home address had been red-flagged by some greedy pig in customs. Because everytime I get a shipment, all I get are notes asking to pay ridiculous fines before I can obtain my items. If my apartment address gets red-flagged AGAIN, I'll just reroute it to my office address. And if next year it gets red-flagged again, I'LL REROUTE IT AGAIN TO ANOTHER ADDRESS!!! HA! SUCK THAT YOU GREEDY PIGGY CUSTOMS!!! I HAVE LOTS OF ALTERNATIVE ADDRESSES TO BOUNCE AROUND TO!!! Erm... unless they red-flag my name?

I'm just so pissed off at how this country is. THE PEOPLE'S MENTALITY IS SO HOPELESS IT'S SUCH A SAD SAD CASE. Everyone is ignorant, selfish and corrupt. No matter how hard they try, sadly, I don't think that they'll ever be able to exterminate CORRUPTION from the Indonesian blood. It's been going on for so long I think all Indonesians now carry it as a GENETIC TRAIT. And you wonder why instead of moving forward, this country is going faster and faster in REVERSE compared to its neighboring countries.

I just can't believe that after FOUR YEARS of being a T&T fan, I'm still screaming and ranting over the same thing: THE PIGS IN INDONESIAN CUSTOMS. I guess there really are some things in life that will never change, you can always count that they will be just as sucky (if not suckier) 10 years later as they are now.

You know, actually it's the Indonesian Customs that sorta kinda trained me not to be as obsessive-compulsive as I once was. Should I write them a thank you note for being so sucky and slow it actually CURED my OCD? XD
