I've been in 3 days of work straight! 1 morning and 2 afternoon shifts...and rite now at tis pt of time when everyone's in dreamland, I'm writing tis blog of mine, after finished reading my newly bought Tess Gerritsen's Bestseller Book(tis' her 6th's bk and they're all on NYT Bestseller!)entitled- The Mephisto Club.I'm barely awake but i still managed to kep on reading her book no matter how exhausted I am. You can imagine how gr8 her bks are! I bought the bk on Sunday(17th) and on that day, i'm already halfway thru the bk...I stayed up till 1am to read the bk. I was realy reluctant to put the whole bk down and catch some Zs so my eyes can be open on Monday during my work time...I've nv realised how bitchy Singaporeans can be...So self-centered, so bitchy and so damn bossy! I complained to Andy abt it and he said he isnt one of those...Well, I guess it's only the minority that will be polite. Darn those majority! Or is it the other way round? The majority to be actually polite? Who knows??? Anyway, bitchy...Y? Cos Singaporeans are just born and being taught to be! Esp those in mid-thirites and mid-forties(our folks' ages)..god dammit man. It's the teenagers or those in the twenties that are more polite. To think they(mid-thirties n mid-forties uncle aunties) teach their kids to be polite and stuffs...yet they're doing EXACTLY the opposite!I'm selling tealeaves and teasets, cos will ahve samples, with testing cups. And it juz so happens that the WHOLE of Taka Sq only our shp sells drinks with sample. So wad do Singaporeans do? After tan1 xiao3 pian2 yi2 to pian4 chi1 pian4 he1 almost all the varieties of mooncakes, they get thirsty(who the hell doesnt?), they stop by our stall. Stopping by that we welcome. What I really hate is they just point to the tea without saying a word and expected us to pour a cup for them to QUENCH their fcuking thirst! Either that or they take the testing cup themselves and shoved into our face and say,"i want to drink tis tea." ?!?!?!?!? Some even better man....SELF SERVICE! Fcuking Self Service, and they pour tea until it was near the brim. So hot the tea and they cant hold the cup, so how? They left it on the table and slowly drink it IN FRONT OF OUR FACES AND FCUKING WALK OFF AFTER THAT!!! Nt evena dammit "Thank You". What are we? INVISIBLE? THE TEA IS THERE FOR SALE AND SAMPLING, NT TO QUENCH UR FCUKING THIRST!!!!!! I've always been very patient...those who know me will know tis characteristic of me...If anything irritates me, I'll just smile and put it past me and tolerate. But what these Singaporeans did...Really Testing My Patience! They have any idea how fcuking hard it is to stand and do sales for at least 9hrs, with only a half hour dinner break? And still, I have to smile at them and be polite as i pour the tea to quench their fcuking thirst in front of my face. I really felt like slapping them in the face to wake them up from their dreams man. Their dreams=to get a cup of tea for free wthout having to do the hard work or fork out money. I really felt like doing that, esp when I see Annie Jie pour abt 3/4 of teh cupful of tea for those who OBVIOUSLY wun buy. Really tempted to do that, or better still.. really tempted to tell those ppl who drink our tea, "If you drink, you must buy if it's nice. Drink one type, buy one type." I know our tea is nice...there's no way they're nt. Cos they're brewed by us(we're being taught u know, and we gt experienced!) And when those freaking customers asked, "can i drink tis tea?" when they obviously aren't buying and after filling their stomach with sample mooncakes..I was really tempted to tell them "No you cannot drink tis tea" Wad do i do instead? I smiled at them and pour them the tea. But i din pour so much. I poured abt 1/4 of the cup.....Enough to let them know the taste of teh tea, but not enough to satisfy the thirst they're feeling after eating the free mooncakes. SMART! Hahahas... Serves them rite! Mean I know, but tis is how u treat those frigging, fcuking, self-centered, bossy, bitchy Singaporeans who come to fair to settle their 3 meals without forking out any money! Think abt it: The whole of Taka Sq is soooooo HUGE! There're at leat 20 stalls selling mooncakes, and each stalls have..let's say, 10 kinds of mooncakes(some have more)... If the Singaporeans just walk around teh whole of the Sq, tasting ALL the sample mooncakes, they'll be eating at least 200 pieces of sample mooncakes! This amount I havent add in the sample from other stalls....And also, our tea shop leh? Food and Drink, one walk or maybe 2 walks around teh Sq and their meals are done! Nt evena single cent used. =.= This is what Singaporeans are...The true faces of Singaporeans cant be seen UNLESS Ambassadors from other countries come to Singapore Fair(CNY or Mid-Autumn Festival). Outsiders only seen the gd of Singaporeans, nv the bad.... It's so delusional..and so surreal... But let's keep it tis way. Noe Y? Cos the truth wil shock the hell outta them, that's for sure. :
