Cooking Local Food

For those who is wondering.. why i can’t cook local food.. from where i am.. since Canada.. has got so many immigrants .. from all over asia.. i have to clarify .. and let you know.. that i’m in this very small town.. and we do not have anything remotely asian to buy.. except oyster sauce.. and some supplements.

This town is so small.. it only has a population of 8000 ppl. Like i donch have kway teow here.. or belachan.. or alot of things lah..! so if you hear me complaining hor.. just ignore me.. ok.. !! hahahhahaha!!

I hate to be a B.I.T.C.H about it.. but sometimes.. it’s hard .. when the craving starts.. and i’m missing home… and all the comforts of a mamak store.. within 2 mins of walking distance.

The Crooks Are Stupid Part II

Cont’d from Part I

Well.. we also found out that the “one” customer is living with those crooks. Now normally we wouldn’t have suspected anything.. if that “one” customer had come forward to let us know.. that he knows the crooks. But that “one” customer told PB that he sorta knows them. That was his first mistake..!! So we figured they must be in it together..?? or he actually knew the crooks were gonna try a stunt like that.. to see if they can get away with it. Renting 4 games and 1 movie .. would have cost us a lost of about $320.00 for the games.. and the movie another $30.00.

Anyhow.. we left a general message for the lady crook.. telling her to bring the games and movie back the first time. The second day.. when i didn’t see it back. I called the “one” customer and first left a message for him, telling him.. that since someone used his SIN card to rent under his name.. it is considered fraud.. so if he is not able to come down.. and identify those crooks.. i was calling the cops. Then i went ahead to leave a message for the crooks… telling them that they were caught on camera.. and using someone’s SIN card to rent.. is considered fraud.. and if i didn’t see them returning the games and movie by that day.. i was calling the cops..!! period..!! and that i was gonna paste their wonderful crook pictures on my “Wall of Shame”

To be cont’d.. Part III

The Crooks Are Stupid

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.

More Money

Customer was in on Friday.. long time customer/friend.. Sherry came in today to pick up her movie (the desperate housewives series) .. and .. gave the lil’ brat $20 bucks.. for her piggy bank. This is not the first time.. that Sherry is giving money to my brat.

Sherry is the other person… who gives money to chloe besides Gary and they never ever mentioned things like paying for her college fund .. like some customers do.. when they are paying their lates. My chloe is so blessed.. and lucky .. to have ppl give her money for absolutely no reason eh..?? And of course.. we have generous customers/friends who has never demanded anything special from us.

Chloe would have more money in her piggy bank.. if not for one of our ex-worker stealing from her piggy bank.. when we were moving from the old location to the new. And i tell ya.. it was quite a fair bit of money that the person stole. I hope that the person will get diarrhea every now and then.. for the deed she has done. Stealing from a less than 2 yrs old kid.. is terrible, donch you think..?? I think that’s the lowest one can go.

But hor.. when i see those pictures from food blogs like Boolicious.. Precious Pea, Masak, Masak, Jackson, MeiYen .. and alot more food bloggers… I so the malu lah..to show ppl the food i eat here.

Today i ordered food from the new chinese restaurant. Sure by far, it’s the best we’ve eaten.. but when i look at the pictures from Precious Pea tonite..!! i so the malu.. to show off my food..! coz’ it’s certainly nothing .. like those you get back home.. and the presentation here..?? no presentation..!! And not only that.. we pay alot more .. just for sweet and sour pork.. and a plate of vegies.. with some rice. A bowl of rice is at $1.75 .. !!!! crazy eh..?? Not like the rice is laced with lobster sauce or something.. just plain rice..! can die or not..?? $1.75 is equivalent to Malaysian Ringgit $5.00. So you tell me lah.. daylight robbery or not..??

One Of Those Days

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.

Over and Over Again

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..!

Well.. well.. well..

Well.. almost everyone is still having a holiday.. because of Canada Day here.. in this small town. But being an owner by association.. NOT OWNER YA..!! one has gotta be at the store.. just because .. someone needs to be there.. when the boss/owner wants to get lunch.. or bring the brat to pee pee downstairs at the basement.

I donch really do very much at the store .. these days.. except when the boss isn’t in the store.. and then i have got no choice lah.. but to serve the customers.. and take care of their queries. I quite “shake leg” one..! PB mostly do everything.. from handling the customer/s .. repairing computers/ trouble-shooting systems.. to putting away movies.. and taking the tag off. My job here .. is just to NOT GET SICK..! and look after the brat. Cleaning up is done by Keegan on the weekend.. and the daily packing up is done by PB.
