Yesterday, I was supposed to meet up with Elea to catch up. It has been ages since we last met and through Facebook, seems like she is dealing with quite a bit of problems.In the end, we couldn’t meet up because I changed my number and she changed hers, best part is, we didn’t exchange our new contacts while confirming our date on facebook, hence I met a wasted trip to Paragon. Haha!
Went to meet darling and we went Whampo Market for dinner followed by a game of mahjiong.
I am so irritated with people who have no sense of initiative AT ALL. If you do play mahjiong, you will know that we have to throw the dice to determine where we should start drawing tiles. (eg. 5, 9, 13, 17 is to start from the dealer) If you are a season player, you will know where to ‘cut’ the tiles from without counting. And this guy says he doesn’t know how and it’s a waste of time to count which is not a problem with me because the other players as well as I, myself don’t have to count. We have already memorized it by heart.
After a few rounds, we started chatting among the 3 of us and this guy kept repeating that the sum of the dice is number 9. As we were engrossed in our conversation, we ignored him initially when he was constantly repeating 999999999999. After he caught our attention, I felt so irritated and said “9 is yourself la, wa lan you cannot count ah?”. For goodness sake, it is only number 9 and he can try counting to determine where he should start drawing from and not wait for people to tell him exactly where. Damn fcuking lazy.
Can’t such people try to challenge the problem first and then starts asking for help if he/she really can’t get it? I dislike such people who keep asking how how how without even trying or thinking. What is their brain for? 煮来吃也没有用，因为会害到别人越吃越笨. 吃猪脑都比较补。

I was enjoying my chicken cutlet at the coffeeshop yesterday and suddenly I felt a few drops of cold water on my hand. I looked up and realized the coffeeshop uncle (he’s the boss I guess) held a mug of cold water in his hand which was used to splatter it onto the old uncle who dozed off. My first reaction was why the coffeeshop boss did this to the poor old uncle who was just sitting there motionlessly. “So bad”, I murmured to myself.
I then fixed my eyes to the television which was showing 心花朵朵开, again the coffeeshop boss popped into the frame of my view talking rudely to the old uncle. “An zhua, buey song ah?” The uncle didn’t say anything, he reached out for a packet of tissue and started wiping his arms and pants which was wet. My heart sank while I watched him drying himself. I couldn’t understand why the coffeeshop boss did this to him as he did not create any nuisance or trouble. He was just sitting there dozing off with a cup of Kopi-o and a packet of cigarette. At this point of time, I wanted to reach out my hand to help but I don’t know what I can do. I don’t know anything about this old uncle and the coffeeshop boss, I don’t know if this old uncle has a family taking care of him and I also don’t know if the old uncle and the coffeeshop boss are related.
Darling and I left subsequently, while walking to the car I asked him why the old uncle is mistreated by the boss, it is so evil of the boss to splash a mug of cold water onto the uncle. Darling replied that the uncle might have been loitering at the coffeeshop all day long and sat there through out the evening affecting the business. “But he was just sitting there what, maybe he doesn’t have a home to return to? Can’t the coffeeshop boss let him rest there?”. “Ai ya, 生意人的想法和我们不一样的啦”.
Is it true? Where money is concern, there is no room for kinship or sympathy?
I often see such things happen in dramas and movies, but I never thought it will also happen in real life.

I have been reading through some arguments, discussions, debates and quotes from forums. Majority of it are enlightening and I couldn’t agree more to what the author wrote (typed).We all (human beings) have got different levels of endurance and tolerance. Some people’s anger erupted quickly and faded fast, but others kept the anger in them for a long time. I was thinking to myself, sometimes it is only a trivial matter, but why was I so agitated and rebuked harshly and some drivers kept spitting vulgarities behind the steering wheels while driving.
I understand that there are indeed a handful of idiotic and inconsiderate drivers on the road, but is there a need to be impatient and curse them or their family?
Why cant we reflect upon ourselves by being more open minded instead of putting blames on the others; they should do this this this and not that that that. Everyone has their own way of handling problems, own method of driving and own perspective of views; these are the differences that make every individual being different, no? If you are unhappy with the way he/she handles the problem, then move away from this person and settle it yourself? If you are pissed off with this driver going at a slow speed and hogging lane 1, why not just filter left and overtake instead of cursing and swearing? If you’re unhappy with the game developer, then stop playing it? If you’re unhappy with your boss, just work around him to get the job done?
It is not that easy to accept the fact, forgive the mistakes and forget the unhappiness. I don’t understand why so many people just love to grumble and complain then leave the matter(s) to remain stagnant and then coming back to complain it again 2/3 hrs, days or even weeks later?
I truly believe and agree that faking Deaf and Ignorance to things/comments/remarks/articles that are unpleasant to our eyes or ears will make our lives happier and easier. No point debating or arguing for the sake of winning. I like to argue with people and being involved in a debate because while I was exchanging my thoughts, because I learn and gain knowledge with more insights on certain matters. Just like one forum-er shared, we need to apply the Art of being Deaf when we encounter people who love to comment insensitively and abruptly. No point getting angry over it tio boh? It is an art because you need to understand when to apply this Deaf-ness skill and when not to. You can’t possibly be deaf and mute when your boss is having a discussion with you. Keke.
So, my New Year resolution this year is:
Exercise regularly to stay fit and healthy.
Save a fix amount of $ monthly for trips and raining days.
Most impt one: Be reminded and to achieve my New Year resolution.
I believe many people drafted their resolution at the beginning of each year and then forgot about it after 2 or 2 months. LOL.
