It’s been a terrible day, the pain on my shoulder has gotten from bad to worse and I haven’t seen a tie da gu doctor. A little scared of it actually, coz since young whenever I dislocate my bone (easily) my dad brings me to this tie da gu doctor that will use sweets to tempt me to twist my arms here and there, I had to go through those painful sweets torture and a sudden pain accompanied with a big crack sound from my bone, continued by a wrapped up hands tied around my neck, or if not, wrapped ankle with smelly chinese medicine. Do I really have to go through this again, I hate to go to work with those bandages all around you know. I don’t really trust tie da gu doctors in Singapore, but going through the western treatment is a pain. Therapy here and there, their bandage is even thicker. Remember once I have this bad ass sprain on my ankle while chasing for a bus and fall of a road step. I walked miles with it coz I miss the stop for my destination and didn’t know that soft unable to walk properly feeling is a sprain. Well I was wearing my NCC boots, secondary school ECA la, so didn’t notice the big ass swell inside the boots. I was there for a swimming competition, but had someone replace me after I took off my boots, saw the big swell on my ankle and realize something bad is going on with my ankle down there. I was known as “Jane’s sister” instead of my own name coz most my senior in the ECA is my sister’s friend. I am like the little sister, so they took great care of me. That sprain left me unable to walk for three freaking days the hospital even had crutches for me on rent. After that I still have to go to school with crutches and occasional electrical therapy which I find is a pain in the ass coz I didn’t feel it helped anyway. The only good side about this is I can get off any punishment during the period when my ankle is casted. So that is the long story about western style treatment. All in all I still prefer Chinese style treatment, coz it cures faster. Just a little bit more painful I guess… hhmm should I? should I now? tie da gu… anyone know of any good ones? Let me know. I think I need it…
There is a cute customer today I would say, not exactly cute, cute, but I haven’t seen any Chinese office boy who can complain like he is really furious but smile like he is still a polite gentleman at the same time. He made a terrible complain about the girl on Saturday shift. I was my usual self trying to be apologetic and all but his arrows keep shooting all over me, I was left with “eh… ah… eh… ah….”. In the end I had to chut my last stance, I summoned my manager to handle this. Initially she thought it was me who made the mistake, but I am glad the customer clarified, still considered reasonable I guess. In the end he couldn’t wait long enough for my manager to solve the problem and left us with a name card. So… he is a lawyer… No wonder his speech all seems like arrows, but his expressions shows different things. Cute freaking lawyer… Now, now, the only thing I am afraid of is that they will summon me back on Saturdays to work. It’s not like I am perfect on my job too, but so far, I made lesser mistakes and those people whom I made mistakes on didn’t bother to come back and give me a lashing. I guess I am just lucky…But well, let’s not push my luck too far…
A birthday friend of mine delayed her trip to Singapore, a little disappointed, a little glad, coz I had a peaceful few months and then suddenly there are four birthdays this month. It’s kind of scary but at the same time, I didn’t have boring Saturdays this month, just fat Saturdays... *sobs*After this weekend, I would start hiding in my house and rot again till my next pay day.
I use to think I am patient with people, but the recent customer handling jobs has taking its toll on me. I have become much more angry, impatient, frustrated, and the once a while murderous feeling has been creeping up to me more often. Yes sometimes I feel like murdering customers.
Take this customer for an instance, I have been seeing him quite often coz I can recognize his hearing aid and this weird white strand of hair on his chin. He walks into the shop almost every other day and ask me almost the same question… “what is (inserts the product I am selling) ar?” The frustrating part is, haven’t he been asking me the same question from the past few visits? Have I not explained enough? Does he realize I recognize him? Have he been listening to me from the past few visit? Why don’t he just bring a tape recorder and record everything I say? Then again, I feel creepy at the thought of someone listening to my recorded speech over and over again.
Today he blew my top, but I still kept my cool, I just had a mental image of blood vessel bursting inside my brain like mini multi volcano eruption. After answering all his usual question, he walked one round inside the shop, came back and ask me what is this product I am selling again…… WAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you know why I feel murderous….I think if I have heart disease of any kind, I would have fainted right on the spot. But yeah, I have fainted multiple times in my mind. I imagined fainting every time I see his face. I had to try very, very, very hard not to roll my eyes on him… My eyes just went really, really big with anguish accelerating to a huge eye rolling action but stop right at the big eye and act stupid. Then I picture him as a punch bag and punch him many times until his weird white strand chin hair falls off.
Then there is this type of shy, shy timid, timid girl who walks in and talk like I am an ant with super deluxe hearing aid. I couldn’t hear a thing she says other then weird murmurs, and I had to stick my ears right to her mouth until she can either lick it once she stick out her tongue or if not, see my ear shit with her bare eyes. So far though, I still have patient with this type coz I was like that for a short period of time years ago…
I guess enough of my nagging, So yeah, reminder. Anyone who knows of any good Chinese tie da doctor or practitioner, please leave me with their details in the gossip box at the left, or just paste me on msn messenger, but sometimes I will miss my messenger msg coz of unexpected reboot. So yeah, better to leave the msg there. Thank you.

Chen Da Wei – Till the End Lyrics
All these precious moments
with you by my side
must be a gift from heaven
that's holding me all night
i don't know how i found you
i'm thankful that i have
now that i have a love so true
to hold, to keep, to share
* In my heart i can no longer hold inside
all of the love i used to hide
i'll always be with you until the very end
in this world there is no place i'd rather be
you are my life, my soul, my girl
and through it all i know
that you've come to see that you're the one till the end*
All my friend around me
say you'd be gone too soon
baby i'm gonna make them see
we've found our way back home
repeat *
We'll always be till the end.
