realm of reality

Zouk Flea and Easy yesterday was kinda shitty. Not as what we expected it to turn out like before. The space given was so crammed and the location was like shit! Well, what do you expect? Zouk practically squeezed almost 70 stalls in that place!

I mean, if you don’t have adequate space jolly well don’t try to squeeze 70 stalls in? Or maybe it’s just us being unlucky to get a crummy space. So in this sense, it’s unfair right? Because we are UNLUCKY, so we get a shit space while others might be luckier to get a better space and location which also means better sales.

Yes, when it comes to luck, there is no fair or unfair rule that applies. So in future, best is not to participate at all in any of their events so we wouldn’t get a chance to be unlucky again.

Duck and I will be flying again tomorrow! So fast. Kinda unprepared as just a moment ago I was busy packing for flea and easy and I was so tired I knocked out till today. Then now, I would have to get ready stuffs to fly off tomorrow! And it’s an early morning flight @ 6am! OMG!

Well, I have a lot of pending things to do. Like waiting for my remaining 21st birthday pictures so I can upload them soon, taking photos of the last collection of WH imported clothes, my job search, etc… And when I get back, I will have more things to do! Like a whole load more of picture takings for the new batch!

Sometimes I just feel that the world is so so so unfair. How come there are such things like rich and poor, ugly and pretty, successful and unsuccessful, lucky and unlucky, clever and dumb and ya the list goes on. Like isn’t it so unfair if you are born ugly and no one likes you. Or isn’t it so unfair to be born poor and have to slog the whole of your life. Or isn’t it damn unfair to be born dumb and so, always be unsuccessful.

Ya, then you say, "No what, it doesn’t mean that if you are born ugly you’ll always be ugly OR it doesn’t mean that if you are poor you will always be poor". BUT, if you are UNLUCKY, you will still be poor or ugly! Or, if you are unlucky, you could BECOME poor and ugly. And so, why is there such words like POOR, UGLY, DUMB, FAILURE etc in this world! SO I SAY THIS WORLD IS UNFAIR. And it really is.

Even if you are pretty, you will still think you are not pretty enough because there will be others who will be prettier than you. Even if you are rich, you will never think you are rich enough as there will be others who are still richer than you. Even if you are smart, you will still think that you are not smart enough as there will ALWAYS be someone who will be smarter than you.

So also, not only is this world unfair, it also never meets our expectations in life. Which makes things worse. And somehow, I hate the feeling. People say you have to work hard to get what you want in life. But what if you work hard and still don’t succeed? "Don’t give up!" Ya easy for you to say.

Maybe I am just plain lazy. Like I don’t want to work hard but want good returns! Who doesn’t right? Then you envy those people who earn big bucks or those who get famous or those who are born with wealth or marry a rich husband and something like that and wonder why it isn’t you.

Money makes the world go round. And everyone is working just for that one thing - Money.Without money you are nothing. Really envy those people who are able to do the things they like and earn really big bucks from it. Why couldn’t everyone be like that?

I’m sorry for all the ranting! Just got kinda EMO I dunno why! Like life is so unfair la. I hate the world!

These few days I had really quite some interesting experiences with strangers and super bad experiences with cabs (as usual)! You know I think I have bad blood with cabbys. Is like really bad bad karma with cabs I tell you! So I totally hate cabs!

In this week, I had been like some walking enquiry hotline and directional signage! Some days ago, I think I was at City Hall Interchange. I was listening to my Mp3 and this auntie came up to me sucking on a green mint sweet. She asked me, "eh, does this line go to Chen Du Shen?" in mandarin. Then I was like, "Chen Du Shen? Tan Tock Seng ah?" And she nodded. Chen Du Shen = Tan Tock Seng

So I replied, "Yes, this line is correct. You’ll have to take it till Novena and alight". And just as she was thanking me, she looking at me and I looking at her EYE to EYE, (I mean when some one is thanking you, you look at her in the eye right to be polite and when you are thanking some one you do so too yea?) her green mint sweet dropped right out of her mouth unto the floor! EEEKKKS!!!

To be honest, I did jump a bit (in shock)! It was a bit horrifying and it kinda startled me! And lucky the sweet didn’t drop on my leg or something if not I will……… I also not sure what I will do if it did drop on my leg but I’m quite sure I wouldn’t be very happy.

The auntie walked away in embarassment. She thank me half way then suddenly walk away leh! Like so weird lo. I know she paiseh but then so awkward of me to be standing there also lo.

Then when I reached AMK later taking the same train as her, I went to withdraw money to buy food back for my dad. After withdrawing, I had a lot of the ATM receipts in my wallet to throw away. So I stood there searching for all of my ATM receipts that I didn’t want.

Some auntie came and tapped me on my shoulder. I was still listening to my Mp3! Like was with this people? Can’t you ask some one who looks more free? I’m like clearing unwanted junk in my wallet then come disturb me!

She said something in mandarin and I couldn’t catch it. So when I said "hahhhh!?!" She just walked away. So how I know what she wants la? Then I continued to clear my wallet. Then just when I was almost done, she came over and tapped me on my shoulder again!

I was like so irritated already! I threw my last few receipts and followed her to this Citibank ATM machine. She asked me to help her withdraw money. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said I don’t have your PIN number I can’t. Apparently she doesn’t read English. So when I asked her if she can read Chinese she said ya. So I clicked Chinese for her. But she still didn’t want to do it herself and asked me to help her.

She had this CHOU HAN (smelly sweat) smell coming from her lo! Very stinky leh! Then I really cannot stand it already! It smells like when your clothes don’t dry well that kinda smell. Only worse!

But I still helped her. I clicked amount she wanna withdraw and asked her to key in her PIN number. After successfully withdrawing her money, she asked me to go through once more with her the procedure of withdrawing money. I was like eh? Next time just click chinese and choose accordingly, I dunno what’s the order also.

She later then admitted she also didn’t know how to read chinese. ALAMAK! Then dunno say dunno la. WTH! Waste my time.

Then now come to cabs, I was with a hell load of stock for the flea market the night before the flea and I was late in meeting the bee @ paya lebar. So he didn’t have time to send me home. He dropped me outside the front gate of Traffic Police and waited together with me for a cab.

Just nice, a cab came by and the bee flagged it for me. BUT, IT DIDN’T STOP LOR! Why ah? I don’t understand why they don’t stop? It’s not a main road or what with heavy traffic. Dunno if I can COMPLAIN THEM OR NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we saw another cab approaching! YAYY! But, just about 50m before reaching us, it did a 3-point turn and U-turned to the other direction. WTH! Like we are ghost lidat lor! Mad cabbies I tell you.

So I had no choice but to walk to the main road and cross the street (it isn’t exactly very far, but I have like heavy barang!) and flag a cab there.

Then the next day, the cab to the flea was horrible! David called a cab and asked him to bring us to Zouk. After we (leisy and I) packed all the stuffs in his boots, he double confirmed the location and David said "ZOUK!"

Later leisy and I were like chit-chatting in the cab, oblivious of our surroundings when suddenly David said, "Eh uncle, ZOUK leh not ZOO!"

I looked up and saw "Mandai" OMG! Stupid driver! Then by the time he made his way from mandai till zouk the fare was $22.50 la! + call charges is $25! But he said he will waive the call charge cuz it was his mistake. WTH! $22.50 still bad enough ok! The fare was only $12.50 when we took the cab home lor. So even plus call charges also $15 la from my house to zouk. We paid like almost 10 bucks more!!! SO ANGRY!!!

To hell with all these cab drivers! I know can’t blame them they hear wrongly but David already confirm with them the place again lor. Still can go wrong. Then the uncle still kept saying "next time you tell me kim seng road (or something like that) then I will know where le lah!" Like still don’t wanna admit mistake!

So I purposely said, "But I dunno where is Kim Seng Road leh, how i tell you?" (but i really dunno where is kim seng road!!!) So stupid la he! But freaking pissed!

Just about 12hrs before I fly! So fast.
