IT Fair in Suntec

The mass of humanity was huge. Actually, this was an understatement. I wonder how did the escalator manage to continue to function under the huge overload. It is just non-stop stream of human beings that keep coming and going. It was sheer madness.

Just to sign up anything with requires 3 queues. First queue to get a queue number. That would take about 30 minutes. Then wait for your queue number to come up. That takes another 45 minutes. The system was down when our purchase was being executed. Another half another for them to try and re-try signing again. Finally, after rebooting the system, our order was executed. Then we have to queue at the cashier just to collect our modem even though we need not pay anything yet.

Wow, signing for an internet line took us more than 2 and half hours. This is a total waste of everyone time. Yet, M1 refused to just register and then execute the order at a later date. It is incredible big companies love to waste everyone's time in what they know would be a large crowd.
