in for the moolah ;


how is my fellow earthlings doing?hope everyone is doing just about fine, i assume.

sigh.i guess the long lingering feeling of Hari Raya, is yet to fade?or is it?mine didn't even started, to begin with.because, work was being an enormous pain in the ass.because, recession is now evolving and therefore,money will be on our minds,attached to the quote,"for rainy days". is saving up already taking a toll on us?how much is enough?i don't even think there's an answer to that question.

oh crap.The Noose just had their finale earlier today.thank god, i have cable or else i'll be digressing to myself in front of the TV,watching rubbish on Channel 5.

moving on.

while slaving myself at work earlier,an eager Indian, lady customer(who,before this went to our Wisma outlet) stepped into our outlet(Paragon).

prior to our sales period,reservations is a big no-no.however,she assumed too soon that,whatever there is in Wisma, it apply to ours too.well,well, little that she know.she then began to search aimlessly for her pink dress and not for long, asked me for assistance.she held a black dress to try on and repeatedly asked me to help her reserve(yes,i have strictly reminded her,no reservation) the pink dress, over at Wisma.despite,my bloody reminder,she made out a low class excuse and said that my colleague over at Wisma allowed her to do that(ya,how can someone worked for more than 1 year be that forgetful?NOT.the customer was just making up some useless persuasion method.bloody fuck,i tell you).then,while i called to check,she immediately wanted to talk to my colleague over at Wisma(bear in mind that is colleague of mine is a Chinese).during the conversation,she spoke as if my colleague was illiterate.when i showed her the way to the fitting room,she said to me in Malay,"kalau aku Cina,mesti dia reserve for me,kan?that's why la,i kadang-kadang hate this country."

Translation: if i was a Chinese, she will then reserve for me,right?see,this is why sometimes i hate this country.

for the first time ever,i stood there.caught in a predicament between profession and my personal perspective.usually,i would love these kind of conversations with taxi drivers(of any race.i love talking to them).if i had joined,it was not as if the customer was going to grab a gazillion more clothes and buy them just because i agreed to her.hence,i decided to keep it to myself.

tsk. government?PM?who should we ask?where have our politicians gone wrong?

i suddenly smell the scent of a protest not to soon before long. all for a greater good.in hope,to have all our values and morals as 1 country to emerge back again.

i admit,for after so long,my first entry just about sucked.i promise you more enticing entries once i get inspired.

on a lighter note, this girl has been,me and boyfriend's sunshine for the past few,negative days.no,not conflict between us.but, amongst our own families.problems came chasing our asses but,this pretty little girl infects us with her smile and laughter,every time we see her.look at her cheeky smile.sigh. =)




Kakak; Alisha Qistina, you're a girl with an old soul.you are my sun.thank you.
