wow. went to the income tax department. question: why do govt staff tend to be one or more of all of the above: sulky; lazy; unseen; rude; inefficient; impolite. add more to the list as you see fit. next time you enter any jabatan - ask the counter staff where their Piagam Pelanggan is. that's the Customer Charter, the creed by which us clients should be accorded with. i asked one such person before where this Piagam is. generally there should be one hung somewhere in the department. and the response of this person was, expectedly, 'apa tu? tak de lah'. *sigh* our goddammed country is never gonna move anywhere unless our peoples move up the scale in terms of customer service and general business efficiency. in the past week i've been pissed off by so many people that i've almost given up. the countless times when my orders were forgotten despite reminders; requests not entertained; that sorta thing. the whole shitty tidak-apa attitude of the general populace and sadly, business community. hey, i'm wondering, how do these chinamen businesses make money when they're a bunch of sulky pricks and pussies??? damn and i'm wallowing in near-bankruptcy, and i know my service is class-A, dudes. shits.

well at least one chappie is not gonna gain from his slowness. was looking for a car to buy, but the sales chap really took his time in getting back to me on my loan, so - fuck you, i moved on to someone else and now they're gonna be enriched by me. fools.

wow why am i pissy. need my medication. hic. or must be low blood sugar after the 3 drinks i had last nite? hee hee. love n peace.

cough cough... woke up this morning with the dreaded hack-hack-hack sound of potential SARS. everybody so takut these days. even the roads and business places are noticeably quieter. not good at all for some food joints. i know, my fave burger stall is too darn quiet. which is bad cos it looks like i'm never gonna get a return on my investment.

spent the past 2 days a-huffing and a-puffing trying to put together a customer's order. wow must be getting older cos it was a tiring ordeal. moral of the story is: get organized, get everything in order and make plenty of lists so as not to forget any essential items. err - that should be part of my forthcoming non-fiction self-help book, tentatively called 'Follow The White Rabbit.' No doubt partly inspired by the opening scenes of The Matrix. Which i watch almost every other day. damn it's addictive. can't say the same of the second movie. perhaps after i get the DVD and we get the pesky censorship board out of the way, and pic is much clearer... beautiful thing about the first one is, every sentence seems to have a meaning, some nuance, an alliteration, which may be pondered upon. wow.

aiyah what to have for dinner ah. think i'll skip that and attempt to lower my cholesterol levels, what do you think. and my BP too... taa taa, mateys... gooodnite...
