Burnt out.... Totally...

I'm officially chao da already... after spending 2 whole days under the hot sun... doing archery coaching... especially at SAJC.... 3 hours for 2 days... under the morning sun....

With insufficient rest.... working the whole day.... burnt out man.... totally...

Tuesday was a whole day of doing stores and transportation... till the late evening... 1930hrs to be exact....

Wednesday was one of my best days.... I woke up at 0530hrs... to reach SAJC at 0730hrs... by bus... and did coaching all the way.. after SAJC, went to another 2 more schools.... all the while.. under the hot, unforgiving sun.... till 1830... after that rush down to SunTec City to help out at an events thing at the request of a friend... all the way until 2230hrs.... effectively... i was working from 0730 till 2230...
It was there that i meet with a situation which made me sometime wonder what's wrong with Caucasians man... really full of attitude problem....

Let me highlight my situation here...

Firstly.. i was assigned to do packing... for some books and CD products of a talk... the customers are supposedly to fill in their order, then make payment, then proceed to my counter to get the stuffs...
However, due to veyr good responses... alot of book titles were sold out... but we, or the events company.. offers to send the book over to the person's house for free.. and that was what i conveyed to the ang moh who gave his payment slip to me...
With a frustrated tone.. he rejected the offer.. and proceed to demand his payment back... as in like.. really demand lor... cannot even talk properly.... arrogant stupid ang moh....
I asked him to proceed to the payment counter to get back his refund... becasue as mentioned.. we are the packing counter... we pack stuffs... we don't deal with money issues... other people who also wanted refunds had cooperated nicely... but this stupid ang moh... suddenly raise his voice and told me this" NO! I came here to buy a book, and of you don't have any stock now, you will go and get the refund for me!"
And well... being a nice front line service personnel... and wearing my new black G2000 suit that i bought from Malaysia... I'm not about to argue back or anything... and so I agreed to it, and took his payment slip to the payment counter... which is just next to our counter...-_-"
Yes... just next door... about 5 steps away... people are still queuing up at our counter... but because of 1 stupid ang moh... they got to wait... he just stand there and refuse to move....

After that.. I signalled for him to come over and receive his money personally from the counter... after telling the payment staff about the issue... I mean... isn't it more logical that you collect the money personally yourself? I mean... the money is for you, so wouldn't it be better that you collect it personally from the payment counter? Going throuhg different hands may mean the money being pocketed or something... and so i nicely gestured from him to come over and take his money...
Haiz... again... like a stone... he stood there... and raise his voice again... "NO! I'm here to buy a book.. and if you don't have any stock now, YOU will get my money back for me!"

I guess all the good food made his leg too heavy to move...all the Macs... and all the dono what thing they put in their mouth...
Haiz.... and so... like all responsible front line service personnels... i obligingly took the money.. and pass to him... and nicely telling him sorry about that~~~

If I weren't helping out with my friend... I wouls stuff the money up his nose... or just throw it back at him.... or a 1000 others ways of things that i would say i will do, but not really do it... LOL...

Sometimes...I really respect frontline serivce personnels who have to deal with all this kind of people... and yet smile and tell them to have a nice day... this one incident had been fuming till now... at that point.. because i was too busy... i didn't take much notice of it... but after everything... i keep thinking back to the incident.. and now the anger fills me... together with the sun burnt feelins...

It is people like this that gives the whole community a bad name... I've always been neutral about ang mohs... I don't specially favour them.. but i also don't hate them... but after this incident.... I seem to view ang moh's differently already.... this arrogant and demanding attitude...

So what if your country is richer... or you are richer.. fatter... heavier... uglier... strong power nation... once colonial masters and what not....
Does that give you a right to look down on us Asians... and start behaving like a jack-a**.... talking to us in this manner?

Now i feel Bruce Lee's anger when he mash up the signboard dictacting Asians are weak cowards... I could have smashed up his face....

I sometimes wonder that with the type of things happening in their country... is it some form of a karma thing... due to their attitude... and looking down on us Asians...

Haiz.... I must find my inner peace.... too much hatred and evil thoughts are bad for me....
And i must admit my statement is unfair... because it's just one ang moh...1 stupid ang moh.... but still... the anger is making me want to condemm all ang mohs together...

Sorry about that.... but because of this 1 ang moh... i am going to change my view of ang mohs....


.............................................................................................................................................

Today... was almost another full day... same thing at SAJC... after that went to did coaching till 1830hrs... fortunately... the thing stops here.. and i was able to get home after that... and have a good rest...

My body still feels like it is burning now.... -_-"

Think i go rest liao.. hatred.. sun burnt....tired out.... not good for me...

Signing off... going to seek my inner peace in dreamland....
