Hey, everyboyd who knows me knows that i'm not the complaining sort, but what the hell!!!! Whatz wrong with the service of our singaporeans???
Let me recount the horrendous experience that i had with our local food dealers.
Crap 1:
Kampong Chai Chee.
It was a cool breezy evening. I was working the afternoon shift and had the chance to take an early dinner. Cool, cause i was a little hungry already since i only take brunch almost like everyday. Took a little trip down to Kamong Chai Chee at the CPF building in Tampines. Cool, the fried rice was stupendous, though the service wasn't with a smile. I'm down with that since i didn't have a smile in the first place. All i could think about was food glorious food. A task was assigned to me by my fellow colleague, Shah. "Brother, can help me buy something something soup with lots of chilli, preferably 5 packs of those chicken rice chilli cause its the chilli that makes me come back for more." Cool, I'm down with that.
But what i wasn't down with was when i asked for chilli, the auntie told me to go get it from the chicken rice stall manned by a chinese scrawny looking fellow who didn't look like he could stand in the ring with me for a minute. I took a few packs, placed it in the plastic bag, and approached the basket for more. took another two, and was about to reach for the last packet when i heard him say, "excuse me have u taken enough?" In a despairing manner. Go F*&k yourself Biatch! was the thought that ran through my mind, but due to the mild mannerism of my upbringing, all i said was, "taken enough already."
Crap 2:
It happened today. I was buying my usual fav Yong Tou Fu noodles from the century square food centre. Ok, pick out 8 items from the stall, give the auntie the bowl and say," mian, tang." For all you people who can't speak the language, (as if i'm very good at it) its "noodles, soup". Well done, i thought to myself, and paid $3.70 for the bluddy bowl with food in it. As i waited impatiently for the uncle to prepare my food, to my horror of horrors, he had to pour sauce over my tasties and dump a huge load of chilli into the bowl. "Bluddy hell! Uncle i asked for soup!" (With the Bluddy hell left out)
All he gave me was a ... "sorrrryy hor" and talked to the auntie beside him. She gave a small defiant answer and kinda insisted that she told him i wanted it in the soupy format. Bluddy hell. Want me to kenna MC is it ah auntie!?!?! Due to my mild mannerism, AGAIN, i drudgingly took the bowl and began to consume it with much effort, slowly washing the chilli off the food in the bowl of soup that has become my "baptism pool". Half way through my torturous journey, i had abandoned all hope of ever finishing the spicy delicacy and rode off into the sunset to capture me a mushroom swiss burger....
Crap3:
At the palace of Burgers, the idea of having a warm, juicy beef patty in my mouth coupled with the smooth, sweet-smelling mushroom bits had me watering my teeth with saliva. Yummy, my fav burger. But who else greeted me but the Son of Saddam Hussein who was brought up in the company of hoodlums and gangsters. Without a word, he just stood there and expected me to say," Good evening, welcome to Burger King, may i take your orders?" Yo dude, i have been on the other side of the fence dude, I'm paying ur M&^%&( F*&king salary so give a little respect! Come on just say may i have your order? Wellz even if you said whatz UPPP.... i'm down for it. At least tell me you know i'm there.
So there it is.... the pathetic and down right disgrace of singapore's service sector. What do i think of it.... well as the great one always say," IT DOESN"T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! " ...and thats the whole truth.

Bluddy.... Sheesh... wat a week...
Chinese New year is still on but i don't feel the excitement whatsoever...
Collected like 200 Bucks...... but then 100 came from my uncle so sad to say, the gathering wasn't that good.
Hell its been like this for the past umpteenth time, so what the hell am i complaining about!?
Still couldn't solve the internet connection thingy for the Unix server in the UAT room. Bluddy proxy's been set but then its of no use. Discovered i couldn't even ping my own static IP address so what does this tell you? The bluddy card isn't mounted yet or the driver isn't installed.
Man so sick, so tired of this job. Even my new colleague knows that there is no potential for growth in the company. How useful can i be with the experience gained from the company? Virtually nothing.... Why? Cause its a damn proprietry software which is in-house developed.
Hmm, i've discovered that i have not gone to church since Sun 14th of Dec. How long has that been? Like almost a month. Its already the 26th today. Have i been a good christian? Not that i know of. Haven't been praying, worshipping, talking to God. What is wrong with me? Have i lost the first love? Why do i not feel the desire to worship Him, talk to Him, spend time with Him? What is wrong? What is happening to me? Am i blaming Him for the condition that i have now? Am i angry with Him for causing me so much discomfort?
I know that i must pray to ask Him to relieve me of my sufferings. I know, yet i do not. Oh Spirit Man, what has becometh of thou? How long have ye not touched the warm wooden surface of your instrument? What has happened to the desire to draw close to Him? To feel His love and care for you? Have you fallen too deeply from grace? Have you become so lukewarm as to be of, which would be spitted out from His mouth?
Return to grace my friend. Return to worship and adore Him. For He cares for you. Though ye have done wrong, yet He loves you with an everlasting love. His arms open wide at the very mention of His name spoken from your lips. He will run to you even as you run to Him, even more so. He yearns to hear you speak to Him as you would before, with heartfelt love and peace that He wishes to settle upon you. He longs to hold you in His arms, to love you and protect you. He feels such a great desire to pull you from the depths of sin and filth, and place you back to where you belong, beside Him, at His throne. Run back to Him oh Spirit Man, and embrace your loving Father, your God, who careth for you as no one else would. Send Him your requests and your troubles and lay them in His hands, for If my GOd is for me, who shall be against me. Speak to Him for His ears are open to listen to every word, to every whisper, to every request.
I speak encouragement to you oh Spirit Man, for your loving Father adores you and misses you. Come back, oh come back.
