OUT you go!

Went for a hair cut just now. And the good natured, good temperate me quarrelled with a lady ! Come to think of it, there isn't much people i throw my temper with during the past 1 yr. The only one's i've done so were weekeat, navin, yiguang.... i think..

Back to story. It all happens at the $10 cut, in which customer will just buy a card and queue up at the seats. When i reached there, there are only 2 custormers. I'll call them A and B.
While i was queueing behind A and B, there was this lady who came rushing into the shop and approached A.

Let this disgusting lady be C.

C asked A, 'can i be in front of you? i'm in a rush.'
A impatiently replied,'i'm in a rush too!' (certainly its just a polite way to say no)
Then C continued,"Then its ok, i'll continue to join my queue behind you"

Apparently, had came earlier between A and B, just that she went out for a while.

It was then, the hair dresser said,"you cannot like that.... you have to queue from behind.."
C snapped,"I came early, i just went outside to shop."

Any reasonable people will understand this is not right! Its not as if the card is a queue number...

Hair dresser rolled the eyes and ended of,"liddat the people behind you will not be happy.."

The lady started questioning B if its ok. B doesn't mind
And she asked me, I gave a smile but didn't say anything.

It was only around the time the lady was almost jumping to the seat that i started saying,"I mind."

I started smiling at her and saying mean stuff until she was like ok fine! u go infront of me

so in a way, im now in front followed by C then B who doesn't mind.

It was only few seconds later, C was so irritated that she approached the stuff and said,'i dont want to queue already, i want a refund!!"

Everybody (else) was giving out a smile...

At times, to make everyone happy we need to make one unhappy. Don't you think so?


Anyway, Today is our platoon SPeak GOod Chinese DAY! started by Edwin and ME!
It was so frustrating and irritating when we could not speak any english at all.
Alot of terms like 'platoon','private' and equipment were so foreign to us.
Its quite sad to know it was just two yrs ago that i can proudly say that i think and speak purely in chinese, yet today without the english term i can't even express myself.
Its nice to see mr alex playing along, its so fun.

Today everyone is quite sick. i'm of no different. Do take care.
