this world, is IMPERFECT
This world, is highly imperfect, from aspiring celebrity jaibirds, to the uncle at the mee pok stall at the market across from school. Preferential treatment!!!!!
I was queueing up for my food...and the 2 or 3 customers in front of me were office workers, very well dressed and all of that. Now, I've patronised this stall for quite a long time (I've been staying in the same area for 12 years what do you expect?!) and I can tell you that the mee pok uncle has NEVER made the habit to be polite. SO. Imagine my immense indignation when I heard the mee pok uncle (and his helper) ask the well-heeled customer in front of me "What about you SIR?? Can I take your order??" OH MY LARD. I never knew the hawker was so educated man. All I've ever heard before is "Xiao mei. Yao shen me. Chi or bao. Hmm. Auntie! Ai si mi??" @#$%^&*! UNBELIEVABLE. And when the office worker walked off balancing his tray carefully, they cheerfully told him, "Thank You!!! Please come again!!!" Oh my lard oh my lard oh my lard. I think I'm going to faint. 12 years I patronise his stall, no please or thank you. Well-dressed office worker orders for the first time, and all of a sudden service becomes top-notch. MAN!!!! When I grow up, I'm so going to march up to the mee pok uncle dressed in Dolce & Gabbani, a pair of Gucci sunglasses pearched on top of my carefully coiffed hair, with Prada enveloping my feet and an Armani tote swinging on my arm, strike a pompous pose and order my mee pok, and the mee pok uncle will accord me due service.
Okay. Maybe he won't. I don't think I'll even go to his stall if I'm that rich to be all decked out in designer stuff. I'll be in the Bahamas lounging somewhere on the beach enjoying a tequila. IF I'm that rich. Which, will probably never happen. Bleagh.
What's up with blogger man?! Irritating like nobody's business. Watch out man...I'll switch to blogdrive soon if this problem doesn't go away. My sister's already switched to Xanga, which I think is bliddy inconvenient. Still, we'll see.
Anyway...just listened to the recording of SAJC's SYF performance, and they really deserved the Honors!! (: Great job...TJ wasn't anywhere near as good. Anyway, Jin Yan smsed me specially from one of the more secluded areas where they plonk army guys to ask me to cheer up, and for that I'm really grateful. Hey! I've gotten over the disappointment...it's life anyway. We were not up to Honors standard, may the juniors work more effectively for '09. The Gods will rise up again. Hahahahahahaha!!!
