Being today is my birthday and Tia Baby is down with chicken Pox…so there is no celebration here. Partly that..and partly the weather being a pain in the backside, that I almost skidded and fell while on my bike, due to the heavy terrantial downpout and the idiotic Malaysian Drivers who don’t care less about others and just do a flipping huge U-turn in a double dual carriageway (two lanes each side) and in pouring rain and don’t look behind.
Well, also that Fuji Film did a bagero of a job repairing my camera, that they charged $28 for the battery cover and holder and forgot to change the Battery Cover, after 4 months of waiting to get it repaired citing ‘waiting for part from Japan’ which I really wonder, cos I could reach Japan and back by rowing down in a Sampan/kayak and manufacture the part itself, and that they charged $80 for labor! Huh? What the fish I said …and I took pity on the nice lady who attended to me, and allowed me to write a memo and got that to the attention of the Head Office Director. Four months of waiting and this is what I get from Malaysia’s Funi Film?! Durgh!
So that is what I got for my birthday, but I was praying for some more stuff like Winning the Trip to POSTIECON , Florida on 1st June (you need to login first!) so I could take the whole family for a holiday too (yeah with UA and other airlines costing $10,000 flight alone from here to US if booked in US, I could spend that for the whole shibang for me and the whole family).
That’s all to it. But I wish I COULD raise enough funds to get my missus a new car with PayPerPost earnings instead, mainly due to me abusing the MIL’s Honda Accord is taking a strain on my pocket and the relations. I also despise the fact that everyone think I am a free loader (which is totally incorrect) and that look bad on my wife. Given the circumstances that no one will be a guarantor for me to take a loan for a car or a house, makes it harder too.Having to minimise spending and maximise earnings and saving for a lump sum payment to the home and other bits and bobs. My wife can’t take a loan due to her study loan still outstanding, and till that is cleared off, she won’t get credit anywhere. Sadly, that is also the case, that I am living in Malaysia in fear, due to me having just a Long Term Social Visit Pass, compared to those Illegals such as Indonesians who were granted Permanent Residence (green card equivalent) for contributing to the crime rate in the country. What utter rubbish.
Given those circumstances, I would really love to live back in Metropolitan City of Singapore, living without fear , even when the prejudice is there, I could live as a normal person, without having my human rights easily breached for no good reason, if not for my family.
What I have I got to say more…other than life sucks.
Happy birthday to me.
Pray for A QUICK MATI (swift death).
