Back Here. Back Now.

Back from KL!
Went to KL for 3 days 2 nights. Its short, but it'll do. I needed the break anyway. Can forsee working for the next 2 months till August and then busy school starts. *Sniff*
Anyway, went to KL via those 'Luxury Bus' that comes with an LCD screen for each seat and got meals on board one. But actually I tell you, its really quite crappy. The only thing I appreciated about the bus is the very comfortable seats and huge leg room. Come on, the movies they showed were quite limited and not very recent. Like Narnia The Lion the B**ch & the Wardrobe, Memoirs of a Gay-sha etc. And the worst is that each channel is one continuous track on its own and you have no control over it. (ie. u can't pause the movie. Only the bus operator can pause it. So u watch finish one movie and wanna change to another channel, the other show is prob halfway through.) And they say they cannot screen the movies whilst in S'pore for some 'reason'. Must be cos the movies are pirated ones la. And the food sux. For Army guys, think SFI. Simple as that.
But the hotel I stayed in was very good. Its near the Twin Towers so very near to the shopping districts. And being a 4 star hotel, its rooms are very big and clean. Actually wats the difference between a 4-star and 5-star hotel? Ok, apart from one more star and the difference in price. Maybe the swimming pool, cos this swimming pool is so darn small, little kids can stand in it. Anyway u dun go there to swim rite?
But anyway, dear people, please clear this misconception that m'sian goods are cheaper. Ok, the food is cheaper (by abit. Like Coffee Bean S'pore sell $6+ there sell $5+) and the services like haircut is cheaper. (Hey, I got a haircut there at $6.) But the clothes/fashion accessories/shoes etc are not cheap. Especially with the S'pore Sale going on now, the things here are cheaper man. And nicer too. Since when did the M'sian standard of living rise so high? U mean they dun use protons anymore?? Basket, even their toilets in shopping centres still charge 10 RM for entry lor. Cheapskates. So go there also can't buy alot. The only things that are real cheap there are the Illegal DVDs and Fake Branded stuff. And these also must bargain lor, those cheapskates, quote price as if they are original liddat. Knn. But of course never buy these la. Buy pirated CDs later kana caught then fine.
And its also bloody hot there also. Think worse than S'pore. No wonder they keep saying wanna cut our water. In this weather they can be desert liao la.
But ok la. Overall kinda enjoyed it. At least get to slack for a few days. (Well, as I am now, its already quite slack... but Oh Well.) Now legs very tired from walking so much.

I'm On Board a... Bus

Hee... Will be going to KL tomorrow... Oh, Sorry, today.
Will go by bus. Then can go KL eat, sleep, shop, eat, sleep, shop. Heh.
Will only come back on Monday nite. Yay, long awaited trip leh...
Shit la, but that means will miss (miss as in can't attend, not that I like my running sessions...) my running training... Hmmm... Oh well...
Till then...

Memoirs of A Cashier

After 2 months of being a Cashier at Yamaha, I have come to a few conclusions.

1) Cashiering is Boring. BOOOORING. Period. (But the pay is good... Heh heh.)

2) Westerners generally are very friendly customers. They say Hi, Thank You etc. But they are also the MOST irritating, problematic and f***ed up customers. Hate to say this, but its the truth. Basket, yesterday got 1 ang moh wanna exchange books, say she bought wrong book. But the correct book she wants is of lesser value than the wrong one she got. So we asked her to go get another book or pen or something to top up the remaining $3. But the knnbccb refuse. Say wat "No, I dun want anything else. Why can't u refund me the $3? I come here regularly to buy books u know." Knn la. Hate these people who think just because they come regularly then Very Important Customer then Damn Big liao. In Army terms, Screw You Understand??!!

3) Singaporeans generally are more quiet. They just stone there until transaction over then zhao liao. But at least they still courteous say thank you all that crap la. And its always the middle-aged/elderly aunties who talk to me, say i look like still in poly those shit la. Just the other day got one late 20s auntie (u call that auntie?) talk to me like know me so long like that then leave liao still call me "Xiao Di Di, Bye bye!" Puke.

4) Laughter is the best medicine. Whatever shitty customers complain about, just laugh like retarded fool. Always work. Tried and tested by me.

5) Everyone is a Sir or Mdm. And u thought once you leave the SAF, there's no such thing anymore. Maybe its just me la. But I greet everyone either Sir or Mdm one. Except for those whom i can obviously see are not Old enough to be Sir or Mdm. But the bottomline is: In retail, u are the slave. Some of these knn customers ah, take the book out of plastic wrapper to browse then dunno how to put back properly, any how throw. Then there was this kid who purposely ran around and misplace all the books he could reach. Knnbccb. Then I have to follow him aroound to put back the books he misplaced. Then went to ask his mother to tie her kid up can or not? She go tell the kid, "Now, Max, (or whatever f*** the little pest's name is) dun misplace the books k? Don't create so much so much trouble. (Ya, thats rite.)" Then the bloody kid say, "But I anyhow put the kor kor (read: me) will also put back one what. Then let him put lor." Knn la boy. U want I put the books in your mouth or shove it up your ass. Basket, spoilt little asshole.

6) Lastly, there are alotta filthy rich customers out there. Basket, pay $4660 for piano in CASH. Knn. Never see so many $1000 notes before in my life. Its like I withdraw every single cent from my account and throw it at a bloody piano. Wah lao eh, nothing better to spend $$ on issit??

Oh wait, I think i just said how poor I am.

Ring if it's Rainy

Dunno why, suddenly alotta frens got girl problems now. Got the rejected, the just-break-up, the pine-for-others and of course the lucky one (read: 1... out of so many of us...) who'll soon be attached. ;) I always thought our lives just revolves round soccer & more soccer... Oh well...
Anyway, will advertise for Yamaha now. Yamaha 40th Anniversary! Great Music Sale!! Must Buy!!! (Ya.. buy that piano that's so cheap now @ $3000. -_-) Just because its some stoopid anniversary, they come up with so many promotions, and worse, so much CRAP ideas.
First, they have the $50 Carrefour voucher for $2000 in a single receipt. That's not too bad. In fact, that's the ONLY good thing among all the promotions.
Second, spend $500 - $4999 in a single receipt and get a Sure-Win Lucky Dip and for purchases above $5000, you get 2 chances!!! Wow! And the prizes are: DVD player, MP3 player, Universal Handphone Charger (for f***??), Yamaha Keychain and Yamaha Umbrella. Naturally, the prizes are arranged in descending order of difficulty of getting it. Come on, out of 30 balls, only 1 ball is the DVD player and 2 balls are the MP3 players. See, that's why they call this the 'lucky' draw... Naturally, for the whole of today, all those lucky souls only managed to get Designer Yamaha Key Chains & Big Beautiful Yamaha Umbrellas.
Thirdly, and the worst, if your receipt number (every receipt has a receipt number) so happens to end with a "40" (40th anniversary mah), we (read: Me or whoever the cashier is) have to ring a bell and you lucky soul will get a Free Yamaha Umbrella!!! Wa.... -_-" This is so retarded. They even purposely install one of those bells at our counter for us to press and ring. I ask my superior: Can dun press bell or not? Can just tell u then u take the umbrella give customer? Answer: No. Kns la. Scarcely this customer receipt end with 40, then we ring the bell suddenly for no f***ing reason then the customer stun tio then the whole bookshop customers thought got terrorist then stun tio then how? And ring the bell for wat?? As if ring the umbrella immediately drop down from the sky. So what, we ring the bell the whole Yamaha Top Management will suddenly appear and present an... Umbrella??
And come on lor, so bloody cheapskate. For every 100 transactions then get a '40' and only give umbrella? Might as well say u get 40 cents discount?
Then I was thinking, wat if this lucky soul receipt end with '40' and he spend $5000 so get 2 'lucky' dips and both dips he get umbrella? Then kns, he kana 3 x beautiful umbrellas liao la.
Kaoz, must be raining damn heavily outside man.

GF are for Rich Guys

Wasn't supposed to go out yesterday. I'm down with a cold. Or flu. I dunno. But my nose keeps getting blocked and keep sneezing.... But no fever, no sore throat. Wtf. And it has been like this for the past 5 days liao. Xianz.
Anyway at the request of my fren, decided to go out and help him get a gift yesterday. He actually asked 2 of us to go with him to get a gift for a girl he likes. And plus it's for her birthday, so must be special. So we felt a bit obliged to go help him gift hunting la. Then when I met him yesterday, it turns out he already decided wat to get her. He wanted to buy her a jigsaw puzzle. Of course he buy the unfinished one la, then fix it and give it to her. Then it also turns out that he already decided wat puzzle he wanted to get. Then call the 2 of us come along for f***??!!
In any case, we went to the puzzle shop at Marina Square la. It turns out that he (for various reasons, its not appropriate to name him here. Maybe next time...) wanted to get a Gemini Jigsaw cos She is a Gemini. (Same as me. :D) But when we went to the shop, there is no Gemini. Only got Taurus, Leo, Libra and Acquarius. No Gemini?? Wtf, how can they do this to ME???
So we decided to go over to Suntec to try the jigsaw shop there. And as it turns out, there is also no Gemini. Wtf, how can they do this to ME???
So I asked my fren, "Erm, time to activate plan B?" "There's no plan B." "Wat?? No backup plan?? CMI la. Now wat?" Then he also dunno. That over-confident loser never think of the 'ifs' one... But he insisted on jigsaw puzzle, say what '... will move her with my sincerity and effort...'. Talk cock lor. So old fashioned. Lol.
But anyway thats what he wants to give her, so we tried to look for other designs. I asked him, "She born '85 rite? Then since u can't get her constellation pic, get her Zodiac la!!! Here's a bull!!" Wahaha. Then my other fren say, "Eh, she does chinese painting rite? Then get her this chinese painting of 2 fishes la!! Nian nian you yu wat." Wahaha. Then he suggest again, "Ah why dun u do those custom-made jigsaw where the pic is a pic of u and her??" "How long will that take?" "Er, 1 month." Wahaha. By then her bday over liao.
Then we pondered over the alternatives. One is just take the Libra jigsaw and insist that its a Gemini. Lol. Another is take the Taurus and say that its actually a Chinese Zodiac Bull for her. Lol. One more is take a dolphin family jigsaw give her then say your aim is to start family with her. LOL. One more is get a chinese painting jigsaw and say is u paint one. LOL.
In the end, he decided to get a nice jigsaw of a pic of a girl staring at a sky full of stars. But my other fren say, "But won't u give her the wrong idea by saying she's all alone??" I said, "Crap la. He can say he is that small snow rabbit at that corner wat. (There is a bunny made of snow in the pic) Or he can always say 'u are the girl and I'm the stars that watch over u' wat. (Lol. So mushy. >_<)" Anyway its really a nice pic la, so he got that in the end.
Then when he paid for the jigsaw and the frame, Kaoz, $72!!! Omg. Then still must spend time and effort to fix the 500 piece jigsaw. Wah lao. And he's still only chasing her man. Imagine when she really becomes his gf...
I dun think I have the $$ and the time man...

K-ed Box

Yesterday was one looooong day. First I gotta work till 7. Then later supposed to meet Ho Teck, Jie Sheng, Feijie and Wee Siang for dinner. But basket, they all finish work earlier than me, so those assholes decide to meet at my workplace. And since Ho Teck is still in NS (Too BAD. Wait till End May la. Lol.) and came from camp, he was naturally the earliest to come and disturb me at 620. (Wee Siang is also in NS la, but 1 thing about this group of VS people is that the word 'early' doesn't exist. 30 mins late = 'early'.) Basket, lucky my superior not around yesterday, if not that stoopid Ho Teck keep bugging me while I work ah, then she "Eh, JJ, why u dun entertain customer one?? So rude to him some more? How can ask him to 'buy my ass la'??" Then as Jie Sheng and Feijie and Wee Siang came in, lucky 7 liao, so I can quickly zhao with these irritating assholes.
Then ask them where they wanna eat, they say eat at PS. Kaoz. I eat there almost everyday leh. Knn. So in the end decided to go Fish & Co at Glass House. (I advised them not to go Manhattan F**h cos the Floor Manager is Gay. Scarcely see Leroy there with him. Uggghhh.) Then at Fish & Co, we were directed to the table at the most ulu-ated, dark corner. Kns, last time we came also seat same place. Maybe there got a sign 'Reserved for VS losers'. Then seat there eat, talk cock. Then the so thoughtful Feijie brought us some chocolates to try. Must be he go koup from the display racks one la. Then he still say its $1.50/piece, he spend $$ buy give us one. Ya rite. Lol. Then as usual Feijie eats like he never eat before, ask for a seafood platter for 1. We ask him issit order wrongly. Shouldn't he order seafood platter for 2? Then he eat seafood platter like must coat everything with tartar sauce liddat. He 1 person took 3 bowls of their tartar sauce. Then plus he everyday eat chocs on his job (He salesman. So liddat then can "Sir, Buy this choc! Very Nice!! I eat alot already!!!") no wonder so fat liao.
Then after the dinner we decided to go K-Box to sing song. (Duh. Of course sing la. Then wat?) Since Wee Siang gotta book in to camp (So sad. Nation ahead of Self!! Go Forth and Serve with Pride and Honour!! Lol. Scarcely kana called up for reservist because of this.) only got the 4 of us sing la. Long time no sing. Not like i can really sing la. Lol. Then that Jiesheng sang Harlem Yu's Chun Ni twice just to take photo of Ling Zhi Ling. -_-" And in the end so damn ex. And only allowed to sing 2 1/2 hrs. And the room so damn small. Knnbccb. NO MORE K BOX!! Party World!!! All of you out there, BOYCOTT K BOX!!! Lol.
Then Sing finish already 1145pm. No bus to go home. So decided to stay over at Ho Teck's place. And we decided to share cab since the rest of them live quite close together. And basket, so damn hard to get Taxi. Jiesheng said cos Taxi uncle like to pick up single passengers since liddat save more petrol. (Car heavy waste petrol mah. And if everyone drop same place, might as well pick up one rite. Wrong!!!) So we decided to revise tactics. We sent Ho Teck to Flag for Taxi alone while the rest of us pretend to hail another taxi 10 metres away. LOL. Actually we wanted to ambush the Taxi by hiding behind the pillar then stun the taxi by all chiong-ing out when the taxi stops for Ho Teck. Lol.
In the end wait for 15 mins still no Taxi. We decided cos
1) we big group, so taxi dun want us. (Then we see further down got another group of 6 people trying to hail a cab. Lol.)
2) We all guys, not chio bu, so taxi uncle no Brokeback, no stop. (Got a group of girls wearing tank top got a cab in 5 mins.) We ask Ho Teck to strip la, but decided it'll backfire.
So in the end we contemplated walking through the night, but Ho Teck wanna die liao cos he pulled his leg muscle while doing I dunn wat, so cannot walk long. But lucky managed to get a cab after walking a while.
So spent the night at Ho Teck's place. Play Winning 11 for awhile then sleep liao... Now contemplating Ho Teck's package of Stayover during World Cup period since I no Cable and since Stoopid Ch 5 dun wanna show it.
Must be Starhub pay Ch 5 not to show it one.

Sunday Birthday

Today is Ho Teck's Birthday. And because he was nice enough to invite us to his house for dinner, we decided to pool together and get him a gift. Initially, when we were debating wat to get him, we really didn't know wat to give someone who doesn't need anything else. (except for a GF which that despo prob wished for his birthday wish.) So the very Xianz idea of bringing him go shopping and then see wat he wants then buy for him. Well, a few of us (including me) rejected this boring idea. Hey, where's the surprise man?? Then they ask me, wat surprise I suggest? I say: Well, he expect a gift right? So Surprise him by giving him... NOTHING. Lol. Then that cock Feijie suggestion better: Bring him go shopping, ask him to choose something he like then... ask him to pay himself. LOL. See how cock VS people can be? In the end got Ho Teck a iPod Nano 2GB. (Wee Siang said he 'hinted' he want this. Kaoz. Expensive hint. Lol.)
So of course today go his house for dinner must make up for the $$ spent on his gift la. Kaoz, so ex. Lol. So now VERY Full. Gotta run tomorrow to burn all those newly-added loads. But ok la, went to his place today got to meet up with those VS people whom I did not meet for soccer for the past month due to WORK. -_-" And also met some of those 'rare' people who dun play soccer. Got to catch up abit and turns out now all of us doing part-time jobs. Thought they too slack to find job. Lol.
Feijie gotta job at some chocolate shop where half the chocs produced goes to his stomach. Then Jiesheng gotta SingTel job where he continues to hone his lobo skills he learnt in Army. Even weak boy gotta work now for his internship at some bank in chinatown. And his pay is even LESS than a NSF. LOL. See, u pay peanuts, u get monkeys.
Just a final word to who this may concern (he should know who): Dun be too sad. At least you tried and can have no regrets. Have patience. Have Faith. Dun give up & Best of Luck.

Election

It's The General Elections Time!! Initially I thought my area no contest one, considering mine is the Ang Mo Kio GRC. Prime Minister area leh! Which idiot will wanna compete here? Oh wait, then again.... Anyway, so rare that this sacred ground got contest, then I can't vote.... Basket... Cos I this year then 21... Kaoz, liddat have to wait another 5 years, and may not have contest here again... -_-"
But damn irritating, these people like to go around in trucks and use that stoopid loudspeaker kaopeh so much. And then kaopeh so early in the morning (Well, 1030 AM is quite early for me... Heh.) and then kaopeh again in the evening. So bloody Noisy. Then plus keep repeating the same thing until I can memorise liao. "Dear Residents of Ang Mo Kio GRC. We Thank You for your years of Support. We have carried out our promises and look forward to helping You and Your Family create a Better Future! Pls Vote for P-A-P!!!" Wah kaoz. (Er, wait, I not here to spread PAP message ah. And since I can't vote, I wish to say that I don't support any party - I SUPPORT MYSELF. Lol.) I thot all these drive around on truck kaopeh corny slogans all dun exist anymore in modern times. I mean, maybe like travel on a float or something and do a rap la. LOL.
But anyway I'm not too interested about local politics. Oh come on, my earliest knowledge of political parties is: PAP = Pay And Pay, WP = Why Pay, SDP = So Don't Pay. And plus local politics is so crappy lor. During elections they argue about all the crappy things. Then got all sorts of crappy candidates. Aiya, like little children squabbling liddat. Now got that Gomez thing, kns la, just take it that he forget it, say sorry, sack him then case close liao la. Kaoz. Then the opposition also cmi. Actually wanna ask them, "Eh, Chiam, Low, u 2 say dun wanna give PAP clean sweep cos there MUST be opposition to keep them in check rite?? The I ask u ah, Wat IF your SDP or WP got a clean sweep instead and PAP is the opposition, and one of u (u 2 scissors paper stone la) is The PM, will u still say the SAME thing?? Will you still say 'Opposition is NECESSARY to keep Gah-ment in check'?? No rite? Then u 2 kaopeh wat?" Not that I'm anti-opposition la, but at least can come up with more credible excuse to run in elections or not?? Haiz. Then also got those funny people like Chee (Erm, not Leroy la.) who kaopeh so much, say the gah-ment like this like this bad, liddat liddat bad. Aiya, u save your own ass first la huh?
I hope I won't get arrested after publishing this... Dun wanna be sued until bankrupt like Chee. (No, not Leroy.)
