BANNER WISH CONTEST

Good day,

Lately been busy with office work. Don't really have time to update my blog. I even don't have time to post an entry for this contest but since I already registered it and there is still some time, I'll just give a shot. Though I don't really know if I can even gather one comment for this 'lazy' and 'no heart' post since the comment time will be end on 31st January 2010 at 1200 pm. At least I'll give a try to win an exclusive banner for my blog.

This contest need me to tell what kind of banner that I wish.Hmm...I'll just be straight forward for this. First of all, of course I want the banner to be fit with my blog...simple but can attract people...size not too big but also not too small..hmm 150x 150 should be ok. Thats all. Please comment if u have time reading this. Thanks in advance.

Tokura Wataru is a salaryman working on the Planning and Development Division’s TV shopping programme. However, in a strange turn of events, he is suddenly assigned to be the assistant chief of a local customer call centre unit handling complaints when he gets in the bad graces of Nankyoku Aisu, the “charismatic and formidable shopping navigator”. Each person in the unit is an unconventional character such as Aoyama Kyoko, a contract employee though she has the nickname “Queen of customer complaints”. Feeling that there is something wrong with the approach of the call centre which disregards the company manuals, Tokura pores over the manuals thoroughly and tries to think of ideas for improvement in his bid to be reinstated at the head office.
