Cab - Incident 1 (HWC 6485)

Today (September 12, 2008) I took a ride in the cab number HWC 6485. It is a Muslim cab driver. This will allow easy identification of the cab and the actual unethical driver. This is what happen from the first sight of the cab.

I open the door and request the cab if he wants to drive to Phileo Damansara from Masjid Jamek. I have this practiced out of courtesy considering sometimes they are rather choosy on their passengers and destination.

Then after the cab driver nod his head and say yes, I have myself seated neatly in the car and closed the door. The driver waited for a moment and started asking. This is the conversation between me and him...

Driver: "Do you want to go in or be dropped at the road side"
I said : "go in".
Driver: **Think for a while then said rudely "If you want to go in you have to pay additional RM2. I don't want to be fine RM2 for the 5 minutes incurred & it's puasa month... "
I said : "Okay go ahead"

Silent all the way with a reckless driver. In the end, the driver left me right inside Phileo. I gave him a rounded amount with additional tips. I also show him the way out and told him about the parking token. He was so SO lucky! Because I hold myself from barking back at him.

In this story I would like to highlight the below:-
1. Don’t wait until the passenger ride the cab only you voice your concern. It may lead the passenger into thinking the cab driver is trying to con them out of their money.
2. Don’t request for additional money from passenger unless given willingly by the passenger. It shows the passenger how unethical you are. This is because you did not follow the standard charges enforced by the government.
3. I know about the god damn 5 minutes. I won’t make you drive in a loss. I did not say anything about not paying you. So please do not be god damn rude to the passenger!
4. You are in the service industry. Never ever be rude or show face to your passenger. You should practice a level of professionalism. So be COURTEOUS!
5. Also, as a driver, please drive carefully. If you don't care about your own god damn life, think about mine! You want to die quickly go ahead no one is stopping you! Just don't do it when I am around. I have no interest of dying with you!
6. By the way, this is the puasa month. I think this is the month where you committed bad doings. Please stand a side and regret for you doings! Puasa month is not an excuse for you to request for additional money and do bad.

** So furious with the driver almost decided to write this in two language!
** If only you are there to hear how it was spoken in Malay! Mine was nicely written. His is spoken in Malay with a god damn rude tune!

You're Always by my side

A very 'touching' story titled...."You're Always By My Side"

A man was walking across the road when he met with an accident. The impact was on his head which caused him to be in a coma for 2 days. When he opened his eyes, his wife was by his side.

He told her (in tears), "When I was struggling with my studies in the University, I failed again and again. Sometimes I even have to re-take my papers. You were there by my side, encouraging me to go on trying."

She squeezed his hands as he continued, "When I went for major interviews and failed to clinch any of the jobs, you were there, cutting out the job ads for me to apply..."

He added, " ...then I started working in this little firm and finally got a big contract. I blew it because of a small mistake. But you are still there for me." His wife was in tears.

The man said, "I finally got a job after being laid off for quite some
time. But I never seem to be promoted and my hard work was not recognized. I remained in the same position from the day I joined the company till now. You are still beside me..."

His wife's tears trickled down as she listened to him, "And now I met with an accident and when I woke up, you are here with me. There's something I'll really like to say to you..."

She flung herself on the bed and hug her husband, sobbing with deep emotion.


Finally her husband said,

"I think you bring me bad luck."

Leonna Lewis - Better In Time

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one?
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I gonna be ok

Chorus:**
** Thought I couldn't live without you
** It's gonna hurt when it heals too
** It'll all get better in time
** And even though I really love you
** I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
** It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy?
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I’ll gonna ok

Repeat Chorus **

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

Repeat Chorus ** x2

Boring Eat Book Of Mine

The title of this posting is "Boring Eat Book Of Mine". It is also label as "Boring Eat Book Of Mine". It is categorize this way because this is where I record my daily eating habit and a brief description on the happening of the days.

This will allow me to know what I eat daily. I have it written to share the daily menus, the type of food eaten and maybe the location. Through this, I can actually track my own eating pattern.

I have very unhealthy eating pattern. I am also very choosy in my daily food intake. It is highly affected by my mood which will directly and indirectly impact my health.

I have allergy to certain food. So I have taken this opportunity to record my eating habit as I know it will make me guilty for not taking care of myself. From there I will expect myself to watch my diet seriously as advice by my family doctor.

Hopefully it helps ;) Maybe you can try spotting me at such locations...

Do have a nice day everyone!

Macy Gray - I Try

Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here?
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But were not
I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you
And I’ll try to keep my cool, but I’m feeling

Chorus:**
** I try to say goodbye and I choke
** Try to walk away and I stumble
** Though I try to hide it, it’s clear
** My world crumbles when you are not here
** Goodbye and I choke
** I try to walk away and I stumble
** Though I try to hide it, it’s clear
** My world crumbles when you are not here

I may appear to be free
But I’m just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you
And I’ll try to keep my cool, but I’m feeling

Repeat Chorus **

Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can’t deny
Deny

I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you
(but I’m dreaming of you babe)
And I’ll keep my cool, but I’m feeling

Repeat Chorus **

Goodbye and I choke (Im choking)
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, its clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
(when you are not near, yeah, yeah yeah)
Yeah, yeah..

Rihanna - Take A Bow Lyrics

Ohh, how about a round of applause
Yeah, standing ovation
Oooh ohh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out

An' don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught


Chorus: **
** But you put on quite a show
** Really had me going
** But now it's time to go
** Curtain's finally closing
** That was quite a show
** Very entertaining
** But it's over now (but it's over now)
** Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talkin' about, girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (ohh)

And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught


Repeat Chorus **

Ohh, and the award for best liar goes to you
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech out

How about a round of applause
A standing ovation

Repeat Chorus **

But it's over now

September 2, 2008 - Flown in from Hong Kong

A while ago we have a bunch of funny friends that came from Hong Kong. First come Jerry, then come Lewis and last came Steve.

Although we were all not very close, but I cannot deny that their stay in Malaysia “enlightens" the atmosphere in the office. The office was less quiet. Their stay last for two to three weeks.

Then again Steve came back from Hong Kong today carrying gifts for us. We did not do anything to deserve gifts... Below is the few presents given.



From Lewis A McD wrapper that, at first I was thinking what it was. After a shake or two, the sound from the box says it was a soft toy. Then after, I open the wrapper and found a box. Guess what it was! It is a Hello Kitty doll. On the box it writes "Work Hard \(>_<)/". It is pretty inspiring.

Message to Lewis: Thanks for the doll. I like the inspiring words but I never like Hello Kitty ;( That cat has no mouth. I never like cat... I like the wrapper, the box but not Hello Kitty. Sorry about that.



From Steve 2 mini can of sweets from "Disney". Well we do not know if it is actually from "Disney" hehe... I don’t take sweets Steve. Thanks though because I love the mini can. It is very suitable for me to put my meds.



From Jerry and Lewis (again): A box of facial whitening essence mask. If only you can see the look on my face when I saw it. Where in the world are there "TWO" guys give a female that? Yeap, you find it here from Hong Kong. According to those two adorable guys, they bought that thinking female loves beauty products. So they decided to give us a box of mask.



Comment:

1) You guys are so adorable besides a boyfriend buying that, or bringing their girlfriend to make purchase on beauty product with them, I never thought you would do that!

2) Of all things, a mask as gift. I can’t help but think that because you love us so much and afraid we might look old and ugly, you bought us THAT... It might be a hint for us working girls should really do take care of our youthful skin while we are still young. Do not wait until you are old with wrinkles to do so. Hehe, therapy will be of no help especially when it is too late.

3) In conclusion I think you two are pretty unique to think of buying a box of mask as gift. Tell me is this a cultural kind of things that resulted in such unique gifts? I sincerely think that you two are very thoughtful guy to think of it.

Thank you all. Next time don’t waste money buying things. I don’t know about the others but to me it is not all about the material or the things. It is the hidden intangible value that counts. I will still treasure it as much even if it is just a wrapper ;)
