Friday the 13th

I don't usually believe in hocus pocus..
I'm a reformer, right?

But bad things does happen more frequently simultaneously. Coincidentally, its Friday 13th.

Yesterday, I received a big complain from a customer, whom later apologized to me. She told me " Sharon, I hope I don't put you in much trouble.." Wtf?! Damage has been done. The complain letter which she CC to a local news paper.. really put me in hot soup. I can only wonder what I have to go through for next week.

2 Peruvian guys came to our office. Asking for help. Can I speak Spanish? Unfortunately, no. Really pity them. With Ann's help, we finally made out of what are they saying. These 2 guys, is suppose to go back to Peru next Tuesday and their air ticket is still on the way from US. Can they make it? Not sure. But I have taken down the consignment note number, really hope they manage to catch their flight. it really feels like a movie scene. Perhaps about 2 pitiful person trapped in a stranger city.

Few more cases happened yesterday, and I was up in the office till midnight. Alone again. Luckily B was keeping me accompany throughout the phone night. Thanks B for everything.

Sigh.. Raining again. Why does it have to rain so much.


A view from my room.. :)

Well, customer assume they are always right.. the only reason for being such an asshole is they thought they pay us. And they know we won't fight back.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

School No Fun!

"So, how many homeworks you have today?" "8." "How many done?" "4 more to go, with a spelling tomorrow and a dictation on Friday." "How are you doing today?" Face slammed to the pillow on the floor... "T...i...r....e...d...." Thats the usual conversation little Paul and I have everyday after school. 6, 7, sometimes 10 homeworks per day. Thats what little Paul is having everyday. Today, he cried over the tiredness of having to do so many work. Although he's more on the sensitive side, but still, is this how our education system deal with our kids? And, today, he brought a time table for examination through out the year, which the 1st exam will start on 13th February, 5 days before Chinese New Year. (WTF!!) That means he has to start studying the not-so-familiar words. 22 days into the new year, and he has to worried bout doing good in his exam. What's wrong with the teachers, school and the Ministry of Education itself?...

Stupidity

Life has been a mess for the past whole week. Juggling between work and family is not my strength. I certainly missed mum being around. He just lost his respect from all his children. He knew it before and he definitely knows it now. But he's just too arrogant to come back and admit that it's his fault that things turn out so badly. I confronted him for his actions last night. I have never raised my voice against him, but yesterday, it's just really unbearable. If I knew what happened later after I left, I would have screamed my lungs out and bring my brothers along with me. Last night, what you did is plainly stupid. Stupid, for leaving your family behind. Stupid, for seeking for comfort from others while your wife is here waiting at home. Stupid, for not caring over your children. Stupid, for ignoring your responsibility as a son, a husband and a father. You have definitely lost what you had all this while. All because of your ego, arrogance and stupidity.
