babe,go for the experience.

and rascism is out there, whether you believe it or not.

try to acclimatise yourself to the customs there, make friends and you wouldnt have to worry.

people may more likely find you exoctic and you can make a success of your 'exoctism' with the right kind of crowd.

comp ppl here. chat later

Anyway I feeling like eating e Teochew Bak Kut Teh!

i love bak kut teh...to have the youtiao soak up the soup, those large intestines side dish and the vinegared veggies.... too bad last week, i couldnt manuvere the chopsticks to eat them...only was able to drink soup and rice with preserved veggies.

i guess i am not a workholic, i just tend to go into the office on Saturdays to enjoy the aircon, the peace & quiet and the internet for chatting.

and i like going into the office at 5am to start my day.

though now….i cant.

legal firms are like that.

i know folks who worked thru the night and sleep in the office.

there was one female intern helping a junior lawyer and was busy till 12 midnight. the intern’s father called and called and eventually the junior lawyer has to take over the phone and apologised to the father.

all of us had a good laugh about it because intern is prettty, young and single. that junior lawyer is young, single but looks real old…..

i believe that lawyers comment: he didnt sweat as much talking to his g/fs family but he truly sweat talking to the intern’s father.

don't tell me that PC is going to arrive with practically no software installed other than the basic windows os.

bingo! I expect to squeeze some cash out of my own papa to get the anti virus and the softwares. words, powerpoint program stuffs are now sold separetly instead of bundled together. my papa obviously didnt realise that i haggled for the programs in his laptop 2 years ago and he thought it all came with the laptop last time.

btw,the office i am in is also a warehouse for a pasir ris hair salon. there is boxes of professional hair care products from bleaching powders, hair colours, shampoos & conditoner.

i am looking at true industrial quantities. The ownner is a local distributors of those products.

I think the brands are: Ka’fen, Goldcome, Va’one & Babyegg.

The bottles looks like they can last 1 year for a normal household.

something is wrong with the laptop i am typing on.

it keeps jumping my words here and there.

about the pc….papa insist on going to sim lim square to buy a fax, printer, scanner & desktop.

he wont listen to me about sim lim sq and my advise not to buy anything hastily.

i led him to the 3rd floor and he turn in to see a apple shop, then we turn into another shop and he immediately saw the fax copier printer he wanted and also asked him about the dektop.

i’ve already seen the desktop and didnt want it before i find hm again talking to the salesman. thats when everything go wrong. he asked the salesman to gi him a package and the salesman complied though everything is sold to him separaely. my father saw a display of flat screen and pc and insisted on 1.

my papa has totally no knowledge of computers or their specs.

because the pc do not have price tag down there. so the salesman quoted him 1.4k

thats roughly when i blew up because that desktop a very basic model and he totally never considered the software and whichever crap is needed…he only felt its a good deal because the salesman is willing to throw in a set for skpe function.

i asked about windows software & webcam and try to tell my father that the desktop needs the software much like his laptop. that papa went on to tell me off that his laptop is his and i shouldnt be trying to talk about his laptop.

i gave up and left that shop and leave him to be chop carrot.

anyway, he now left the office to inspect some cargo and insist i stay until the delivery of those stuffs today. I look at the delivery order and dispair…..it only state a 19” screen, a model of the comp w/o its specs, a webcam & a headset delivery….and of cos that printer, fax, scanner.

it was a harrowing experience. i cried & cried and cried so,e more last nite.

Papa really makes me want to dive down some deep end.

and e still dare to sound peeved at me this morning about the expensive deskttop comp he purchased which should be more appropraite to throw at his head except that my hand is in a cast and cannot lift a mug.

i am already anticipating that when the comp is arrived today. i am going to sqeez him more money to support that darn desktop.

He argued with me about that comp, insisting that i am fighting him at every turn…that damn thing cost 1.4k with1 gb ram! and a bulky flatscreen plus a big casing which is verylight because it contains nothing!

and oh….mt home mailbox was broken into again and the letters went missing. called 999 and POs came down to check.

i am farking suay. because even when my friend picked me up at PCC to jalan besar for dim sum, we keep getting red lights on the road.

wan do sek dim sum???

its near my home and the office.

the dimsum kinda lost its really good flavour liao. u folks sure u want to go?

i’ve stopped going there for dim sum alongtime ago.

I like what you are saying.

i’ve known men, farking their g/fs & wives but telling tales that the girl/wife is having affairs with other men.

                        and their info???they say they knew instinctively or from reliable sources.
                        

                        We believe what we want to believe...and we try to make people believe what we want them to believe....think our local politicians can liao.
                        

ts still have lots of growing up to do.

i now have to grumble a bit more.

I went and buy the phone and the skype headsets & microphone.

Papa says the phone looks too small. so i will have to buy another set of phone soon.

Then just now, when i tried the headsets and mic, i discovered that the sound systems has been removed from the laptop…or I just really sucked at finding it.

I need it help!

yep,the kup. its now batman fairings.

will upload pics later.

I am now thinking to mod the kup to left hand throttle and brake.

the singtel fella came to install the phne lines. he was asking for $360 to to it.

finally the big boss negotiated with him ot do it for $280.

That guy was initaly trying to get $180 for 1 line…and to drag in the 2nd line its double the amount?????

the last time we bring a line to another loyang office, the services is free but my papa gave the guy $50 for the difficult hard work!

i walked from home to office. veryvery tiring and it takes me 48 mins. its so irritating.

anyway, i was late and the office is even later, i had to go over to a canteen and meet my papa and have breakfast.

i am today in shorts, t shirt & nike running shoes and refusing to change into my dress. its still so freaking hot! applying a wet small towel to my face and neck now.

thanks macjoe,

though I am not thinking of fighting. I am now more keen to enjoy y life.
