Crazy Chinese Woman

I was just joking with PB .. that if i ever take off my fibroids, I will instantly lose 30 pounds..! Yup.. that’s how huge my fibroids are.. hahaha!!

Before i had chloe.. my fibroids did not bother me at all. It is only after i had chloe.. my fibroids started to act up.. every now and then. If you are wondering why i never got it out..?? it’s because when Chloe was younger.. she was a very needy baby.. on top of that.. PB has a business to take care of.. and cannot be spending time with me.. in the hospital. So being the better other half.. muahahahhaha!! i parked it away.. till we have more reliable workers .. or when my MIL can come help with chloe.. or till it is a slower period at the store.

But of course as always.. everything else took priority before my own health.. afterall it isn’t life - threatening.. just very uncomfy at times. But i tell yer .. the minute i take out my fibroids.. muahahhaha!! i’m gonna be a sexy one..!!! yer just watch and see..!! hahhaha!!

I swear the crooks are real stupid here. A few weeks ago.. we saw on our late list for movies and games.. that “one” particular customer rented 1 movie and 4 games.. on the same day.. when Keegan was working alone. So PB .. seeing it was already almost a week late.. decided to give this “one” customer a friendly reminder. And guess what..?? The person on the phone said.. he haven’t been in our store.. for a few months now.

Now that of course sent us down to the basement.. to look at the security camera files.. and true enough.. it wasn’t the “one” customer. So detective work starts for us. First PB had to find the best angle shots of those thieves and then we have them printed out on photo paper, and we started asking everyone who comes into our store.. if they know the couple .. and their baby.

A big man and his father came into our store.. after the cursory greeting.. we left them on their own. The walked around the store.. and the son.. started digging into PB’s stuff .. at the bottom of one of his working desk.. where he has all his wires.. and what nots.. for computer stuff in it.

Now what pisses me off big time.. is .. why the hell.. wouldn’t that fella ask for help..?? instead of digging into things.. without even asking if he can or not..?? Surely.. you go into someone’s business.. you donch do this kinda thing..?? I can never imagine.. going thru’ someone’s things like that.. not even my sister.. or my mom.. !! so why do ppl do stuff like that..??

Wouldn’t you be pissed off..?? because i’m sure.. PB has all his things.. all packed properly.. and know exactly where his things are.. and all. Like if someone comes into your kitchen.. and mess things up for you ..?? how you feel right..??

Some kids really makes me mad.. !! this afternoon at about 5.50pm.. some kids came in and looked around the store. Asked a few question.. and then went to where .. Chloe’s bike was.. and sat on it..!! the kid was like big and fat.. and like 12 or 13 yrs old..!! i can understand.. if a younger kid were to do something like that..!! but a 12 yrs old ..??? WTCHECK..!!

These days .. i rarely kicked kids outta the store.. but i shouted at the dumb kid.. “Can you please not do that..??” twice.. !! and yet he was on Chloe’s bike still..!! can die or not..?? So i shouted at him.. “Get outta my store.. !!!” for he was saying.. he wants to exchange his bike for Chloe’s. I know he was just saying it for fun..!!! but those damn kids..!! really got no father and mother to teach..!! therefore they run wild like that.. and try and destroy ppl’s property.

Very angry you know..!! and fuming..!!! my daughter.. who is only 3.5yrs old.. never does things like that .. in other store.. nor in someone else’s house..!! so why the heck.. do this damn kids.. get all brazen.. and try and do whatever they want.. without respecting ppl at all..??

A customer came in to pay for a VHS movie and asked me how much it was, right in front of me. PB wasn’t in at that time, and i had replied ” 2.28 tax included”.

She gave me 2 bucks and walked out..! muahahahahahha!! ppl are so freaking.. i donch know what to call it anymore..!! not like i’m hard up for that .28 cents .. but that’s taxes that the government wants..!!!

And it’s not like i donch speak freaking english.. !! ello..!!!! 2.28 !!! NOT 2 bucks..!!!

I guess this week is gonna be one of those days.. where we will see more ppl trying to sell things to us then to buy things.

It is just too, too sad.. to see grown up men coming in to sell stuff.. with the excuse that “money was needed to buy milk” for his children. I mean.. how can you not have money .. for milk and food for your kids..?? Truly .. i donch know what to think of ppl like that.. and it’s not just one person doing or saying stuff like that.. it’s alot.

People just donch know how to manage their money. When they have it.. they just spent it like nobody’s business.. buying whatever that’s unnecessary at all. How lah to pity ppl like that.. ??? But PB .. he would buy.. irregardless.. because when someone said.. they need food for their children.. he would help. So although .. some might say PB is nonchalant.. i don’t think so.

You know .. there is only so much you can say .. or advice a person/s .. when the person.. keeps coming back with more sob story .. about the same guy… over and over again. This time.. is “he played me dirty”.

Already we all know that this is such a roller-coaster relationship.. plus her teenage daughter is not only selfish.. but very rude.. yet she still goes on .. wanting to be tortured by him. If Chloe ever stopped me from looking for a job.. in the future.. just to stay home.. and be with her.. and guilt me into staying home.. she has one big surprise coming..!!

At 9 yrs old.. i was left to fend for myself.. ! took a public transport to school.. from Sophia Road to Marymount Convent.. at Thomson Road.. Bus # 160 .. first thing in the morning at 6.30am.. for an hour.. and then at 1pm from school to home.. and then back to lunch .. and we have to buy noodles from the hospital canteen.. where my mum worked .. and then walk another 20mins home. Bathed ourselves.. do homework.. and clean the house.. and wait for my mum to come home.. to make dinner. So i donch see why .. a 13 yrs old kid.. cannot look after herself.. and her brother… while the mum goes out to work for a living .. instead of going on welfare..??

To even think that the mum would be manipulated by both her b/f and her daughter.. !! what in the world is this world becoming..?? Sad..! real sad..!

The ppl in this town never fails to amaze me .. time and time again.. and i think you’ve seen me write about it .. so often.. you wanna puke..! So if you wanna puke.. what about me right..?? i puke over and over again..!

There is this guy.. that walks up and down our store.. and i’ve known that he is a crook since i came here 7 years ago.. ! and yet this crook is out scout-free .. and he is always up to something .. every now and then.

This time.. i heard he went around ppl’s mailboxes stealing their welfare cheques .. and their credit cards..!! He was caught alright..!! but he is still on the street.. now that is what i donch understand..!! Why are crooks like that.. the compulsively commit crime let out on the street..?? In Singapore… they would have been kept in jail for an undetermined time.. because they are incorrigible crooks.

The system here never fail to amaze me..!!

Someone please tell me.. anyone in the right frame of mind.. would wanna work only 6hrs a week..??? Yes… someone came in looking for a job.. and asking only for 6hrs a week.. so it doesn’t interfere with her welfare cheques. Yup.. i call it welfare cheque.. because the person is perfectly healthy.. and is not missing any limbs.. or isn’t hideous to look at .. but this person .. apparently is on welfare and just wants to work 6hrs a week.. so that she can make it looks like she is willing to work.. but not anymore, so it doesn’t interfere with her social life.. of boozing and partying i guess…???

Yup.. she said.. she can work anytime and anyday.. except Fridays to Monday..! A young woman.. and behaving this way..?? what a lazy person.. in my opinion.. and you know what..?? once welfare cheques are over.. she is definitely gonna go make up stories.. to keep on those welfare cheques. Ppl here abused the system so bad. So “garang” to come look for a job for just 6 hrs..! Stylo-malo ya..???

Ppl like that .. is totally useless.. as far as i can see. Why would someone who has got hands and legs.. depend on hands out..??? only beggars does it.. !! only those who really need it should get it.. !! not someone who is trying to abuse the system.. and thinks the whole world wronged her. Sad.. but i tell ya.. you mark my word.. when she falls.. she is gonna fall so hard.. she is never getting up. Because ppl like that.. are wussy pussy..!

Continued from Part I

Well.. after just finishing my cheapie burger .. guess who called..?? Yes.. dear Mr Choo..!! But i didn’t wanna entertain him.. or wanna fight with him.. so we didn’t pick up the phone at all.

Next day.. dear Mr Choo called again.. but we didn’t pick up the phone again.. and on Saturday.. we told Keegan to tell him that we weren’t in. Monday came and went and guess who turned up at our store.. on Tuesday..?? Yes.. dear Mr Choo. He apolgized.. and of course.. i didn’t tell him i was upset.. and told him.. it’s alright.. and wanted to just let it go. But he went on and on.. and it’s funny.. coz’ i guess he must be really sorry.. coz’ why would he come and apologized right..???

So in a way.. it made us fell better lor..!! at least he was sincere enough .. to come apologize.. and not like some ppl or some business. So i’m inclined to think that Mr Choo is gonna succeed in this town.

Arrrghhhh..!! i’m freaking sick..!! yup.. ! and i thought i wasn’t getting it .. when PB and chloe got ill during the weekend. But yesterday came.. and i was so damn sick..!!!

Running nose.. headache.. sore throat..!! i hate the sore throat part though..!

And then this morning.. i woke up with a really, really bad headache.. and boy .. was i feeling lousy..!! i didn’t think i was able to go into the store.. at all today.. but i took a shower.. and took some tylenol.. and came into the store.

I do feel alot better now though.. i took more medication after coming into work and my throat donch hurt so much. I just wished PB would get me some ice.. to crunch on.. and not look disgusted when i am doing it. Sometimes.. i wished i can stay home.. just because i wanna crunch my ice.. because my throat just is a bitch to take care of.. and crunching ice .. keeps my sore throat at bay.

As you all know.. i had to take another x-ray .. here in town.. because my previous one in Halifax showed a certain shadow they can’t identify. So after making the appt to do it last week, i was told to come back the next day.. as the x-ray machine was out of order.

Nevermind.. i’m at their mercy.. so i didn’t say too much.. and came back the next day.. and was a good sport too. The next day.. got a call from our dear hospital here.. in this town.. and was told that the radiologist gotta see me.. before he would sign the papers for me. So the technician who took my x-ray.. cannot vouch for me..?? so the tech didn’t see my face..??

Anyways.. as a good sport.. i went to the hospital to collect the x-ray disk… and let the radiologist see that it’s truly me. And when i arrived at the hospital.. the paper came back unsigned because he claimed no need to sign.. coz’ it was to IWK hospital. Then why asked me to go ..?? And then i got the nurses there to call Halifax.. and Halifax told them must sign.. and you know what.. ??? i didn’t even get to see the darn radiologist.. at all..!! he was inside one of the rooms.. only the receptionist/nurse spoke to me all this time.

Ya..she was very nice and all.. but that’s not the point right..?? you asked me to come.. then you donch wanna sign the paper..and then didn’t even see me..?? WTCHECK..! Plus i paid 99 bucks for the x-ray you know.. !! not free you know..!! KNNCCB..!!

PB said.. these days.. no one wants to put their signature on anything..! Wah Lau Oiiii..!! like dat also can ka..??

OMG..!! another one of those case.. where kids goes wild in our store..!! but this ain’t as bad as the one we had yesterday..!!!

Customer comes in with kids to get work done on puter.. and OMG ..!! kids run wild.. !! and take everything out .. from the shelves.. and even go into the security camera box.. and opened it.. to see what’s inside. While the younger kid rides on one of chloe’s bike.. the older one.. wanted to ride on chloe’s Dora bike. The kid doesn’t understand .. that he is too heavy for the bike.. and then they messed with Chloe’s Dora tables and chairs.. and wants to go into the tent .. and then mess up the other stuff in the store.. and worst of all.. tries running outta the store.. several times..!!

My chloe went to the croc store for some shoes with PB .. and all she did was sit .. on the bench.. of the store.. and wait for PB to be done. She did get a wee bit cranky at the end.. because she wanted a croc.. and they didn’t have her size.. other than that… PB said.. she behaved.. and didn’t do those things.. that those kids did at our store. And if she was.. she would have been taken outta the store immediately .. instead of being left to wreck someone’s store. We won’t allow it..! period…!

Just a quick heads up for everyone .. i didn’t get to do my x-ray today.. because one of their machine was down.. in the hospital.. so they want me to come back tomorrow. And no.. i didn’t kick up a fuss.. afterall.. i’m at their mercy.. like when i was SOOOO pregnant with Chloe.. and they made me wait for 2 hours.. with my bladder full of water.. when i insisted to get my ultra sound done the same day .. for fear that Chloe might be breached.

So wish me luck again for tomorrow ya.. my appt is a 12.20pm tomorrow.

Nah.. ! i’m not talking about my menses or PMS-ing..! it’s that time of the month.. where everyone in this town tries to sell you something.. and would even sell their grandmother’s panties.. if they remotely think they can get a few bucks outta it.

Yup..! no kidding..! First thing this morning.. after opening store.. some fella came in to sell PB a dreamcast..! Yup.. you heard right.. a dreamcast..! PB gave him a few bucks.. and sent him away.

A few minutes later .. 3 guys came in to try sell PB a PS2 machine. Claimed that the machine worked just fine.. just before they brought it down.. they were playing with it and all. And the only thing that didn’t work was the power button… the light wouldn’t come on. The PS2 machine had been stripped opened before.. and they claimed they donch know why or how.

The 3 guys must think that PB and I was born yesterday..?? and that i come from Timbak-tu! putting up a show for us. The bloody PS2 doesn’t work..!! and they were trying to pull a fast one on us..! Such dishonest ppl also got..??

If you all donch know by now hor.. we only get newspaper every Tuesday hor.. not like in Singapore.. everyday got papers.. and some more.. a few newspapers .. a day. So that shows you how small the town i am living in is lah..!

But today.. this afternoon.. PB walked in with the local papers .. the Vanguard…. and in the front page.. it said.. “Ambulance Stolen On Call” ..!!!!! Wah Lau oiiiii..!!! how screwed can this town get leh..?? Stealing an ambulance.. while the ambulance was on call..!!! OMG…!!! you tell me lah.. ! how screwed can these ppl be.. in this small tiny weenie little town..?? Population not more than 8,000 ..!! How unCOOL.. is it..??? to freaking steal the ambulance.. while it was on call.. trying to freaking save someone’s life..! “slap my forehead”.

And how do one steal an ambulance..?? and hide it..??? Surely .. your freaking neighbour.. or your parents.. or your g/f or your husband.. or your dog will see that AMBULANCE.. right..?? afterall .. it’s an ambulance..!

Ya.. i’ll say this is freaking wrong..!!

A customer was in yesterday.. looking at a small computer part that he needed. It was at 4 bucks each. And he asked PB .. if he was gonna have more of it.. since there was only a few left. And that he would only have money for it .. on the 20th of this month (baby cheque day). PB assured him that there should be more coming in.

After the customer left, PB asked me.. how does this ppl do it..?? not having even 4bucks.. on them.. to get something that they want..?? and having to wait for baby cheque day .. before they can buy something for 4 bucks..!!

Seriously, i donch know how one can live.. waiting for a baby cheque to buy a 4bucks thing. But even I have 4 bucks just in coins.. lying at the bottom of my handbag… not for emergencies.. but change that must have just dropped and accumulated .. during the months.

So yes.. we do meet all sorts of very .. very unique ppl around here.
