This week was a cool week. Managed to work a bit. Working is fun. Especially with all the crazy people at my outlet. No 2 days are the same. And at the same time, I get to meet great people. Especially foreigners. Not that I'm biased or anything but I find that the foreigners tend to be more appreciative and acknowledging. Singaporeans show the same attitudes too but not all of them. Some of them don't appreciate the things we do so that their experience is more pleasant. So at times I kinda just try to get rid of them as quick as possible (i.e. serve their drink or whatever ASAP).
See what this shows. And they expect everyone to give good service. Don't they know that service works the same way as respect? It's a 2 way street. I'll give you good service, but you're gonna have to show me the need to actually provide that service. Just like respect it has to be mutual. What's the point of me respecting you if you do not respect me. So yeah. Just my 2 pence on that topic.
I had great Valentine's Day too. Not that I had a date or anything like that. It was something even better. I got to hang out with close friends! Fadhil, Nadhirah, Aqilah, Lisda and me all went out to celebrate Aqilah's and Fadhil's birthdays, albeit a little late. But still it was fun. We went to this Thai restaurant place thingy in Bugis near Masjid Sultan. The food there was cheap and great but dammit they need to put to stop using Thai words in the menu. Half of the time I didn't know what the hell we were ordering. All I knew was that 'phad' meant fried. Or at least that is what I think it means. Oh yeah, but some of the food was quite pedas. But I could tahan long enough for my chrysanthemum tea to arrive.
Oh and there was cake!
It was supposed to be Tiramisu but it seemed more like a cheesecake.
Then just as Aqilah and Fadhil thought that we were going home, we sprang a surprise on them by getting them gifts! We got Aqilah a book and Fadhil a new bag to replace the beaten one he has. The book me and Nadh got it about a week before that day and Fadhil's bag was pretty much impromptu as we needed to make sure that the bag suited him. All in all it was a hell of a Valentine's Day.
Lovey Dovey couples eat your hearts out. This is the beef I have with V day. It's just one freaking day. The greatest of loves do not need a day to define its presence or existence. If you think that having a date or getting married on Valentine's day is more 'special' or more 'meaningful' then all I can say is good luck to you. You see, there are 365 days in a year and approximately 25 550 to 28 800 days in a person's lifetime. Let's just say the luckiest of couples are together for 20 000 days. That's a lot of days. If you can't make every single one of those days special then there is no point really being in love. If you need a day like Valentine's Day to make your love special then you most probably will have to rethink your relationship a little bit.
So yeah, that's another piece of my mind for those of you that pass through here.
So there has been another school shooting in the USA. Goddamn motherfuckers. I don't blame the kid that fired shots in that lecture hall in the University of Illinois. I really don't. I blame the fucking capitalists of the USA. What did they think guns were made for??? To help us shoot rose petals out of our ass holes???
Godammit man. Really. You didn't see this coming. Wasn't Columbine enough of a warning in the first place??? Or even the VTech incident??? If the bloody 2-bit government there can't put controls on the gun laws in the USA then they might as well legalize drugs such as marijuana or crack cocaine. They say that background checks are done and all that, but who the heck knows what is going on in the next redneck that goes in to the firearm store and gets himself a rifle? You think that all he's gonna do is shoot some birds? If it's not him going crazy with the gun it could be anybody in his family who stumbles upon the gun. Then who suffers? Other innocent people.
This is the problem with the US as a whole. Other people are dying for their ideals. Innocent people have died in an unnecessary war. Brave men's soul now sent to heaven 'cause their government asks them to fight for their country. And the dumb rednecks with a 2-bit education just supports it 'cause their redneck president says so. Really, nothing in that war makes any freaking sense. They attack Iraq 'cause they suspect that there are WMDs. But not freaking North Korea. They know that N. Korea has WMDs but what do they do? They negotiate. Dammit man. But what am I to say. Like I have said before. War is a product of peace. Peace never comes from war. It supposedly is the reason why most countries go to war and that's what pisses me off.
But what am I to do. I'll most probably be another puppet in the great stage show that is Singapore. So while all that happens guess what I'm gonna do? Kick some ass. And have fun with friends and family while doing it.
Peace.
Oh yeah, how could I leave without a video. This is for all the Valentine's Day shit.
