Ang Mohs and Relationships

Is it me..?? or the ang mohs here..?? that takes relationship/marriage so lightly..??

A customer was in today.. and told us that a mutual friend is no longer with his wife anymore. We were quite shocked.. to be honest. The mutual friend have even moved outta their home…. and currently living at his father’s basement. Very drastic move i must say. They have only been married for a few years.. but being the sensible adults they both are.. it was shocking that they went their separate ways.

And it seems that they ain’t the only ones.. going in and out of a marriage or relationships. Sometimes.. it’s shocking…!! I remembered my sister didn’t want her new MIL to know that she was a divorcee .. and had a child before. But over here.. it’s the norm.. no shame.. no nothing whatsoever.. !

We’ve seen on tv.. those dramas.. Dallas right..?? and now know that it’s true.. about how the ang mohs handles relationship. Messy..!

I’m damn worried .. about how my daughter will grow up.. in this kinda environment. I wished i can protect her always.. but we all know.. there’s only so much one can do . eh..?? life learning stories.. are plotted and planned by oneself. I hope my daughter’s path . .would never be torn and tattle..!

Big Contract Getting Bigger

Remember the camera contract we talked about earlier.. and telling everyone that we are gonna be busy..??

Yup.. looks like we are gonna be busier .. than we planned for.. because customer had requested even higher quality cameras.. and donch mind paying for the difference…! guess they can afford it.. afterall.. it’s a big company in town.

More sourcing and finding the right equipment.. and it really irks the hell outta me.. when PB still shaking his legs at 12.50pm today..!! and not getting ahold of the supplier.. and get a move at things..!!

Are all “ang mohs” so “slageh”..???

What you see

Is not always what you get..?? Why do i say that..?? It’s because many a times.. we think that the ppl around us .. are nice.. and dandy.. but then in the end.. we find out … they are just making use of us.. if they can. And if they have no use for us.. they turn into some very, very ugly .. cinderella’s stepmother.

So these days.. i donch even judge.. or make judgement.. about the ppl we meet anymore. I just treat ppl really neutral.. and at arm’s length.. but of course .. there are those really good ones.. that we’ve met here in this town… but far too few. As for the customer/s that we have.. i’m just gonna be really professional.. and not meddle into their personal lives. Time and time again.. we try to establish a good relationship with our customer/s.. and maybe i’ve gone beyond.. which i shouldn’t have. And time and time again.. we trust ppl.. but in the end.. they just blow us off.. by skipping their bills.. and the town.

It is really sad.. but these days.. i keep reminding myself.. what you see … isn’t what you really get. I have to learn to look further and beyond.

Playing Tai-Chi

I used to tell PB that we chinese love to play tai-chi.. but apparently .. the ang mohs too love to play tai-chis.

A customer .. rented a new movie from us the minute it came out, was 12 days late.. and we only got it back after chasing after her for many days. She gave one excuse after another. And finally, she came in with the movie .. and claimed that she wasn’t the one who rented it (but her kids watched it) and that it was her ex .. who WAS with her at the time of the rental who rented it under her name without her permission.

Truly Touched

As much as i bitched about ppl and things that i donch like about this town… and am easily infuriated, I too am easily pleased.. and easily thankful for the good things .. this town brings.. and how some folks are so kind.. to me.

This afternoon.. i went to Tim Hortons as usual for my breakfast and coffee and the gals at Tim’s asked if i was gonna be opened tomorrow.. and if i was .. they would make my favourite mushroom soup for me.. but since we will be doing the flea market.. i told them i wouldn’t be.. and they suggested Monday.. but Monday I will be up in Halifax.. and they then suggested Tuesday..!!

Now.. isn’t that nice.. now..!! what i call “excellent” customer service.. not only knowing i craved for mushroom soup.. but also trying so hard to accommodate this “difficult” customer.

Thank you .. Tim Horton’s gals (main street) .. you make life for a foreigner.. far away from home.. feel a little warmer and life here a little easier to bear.

Ma Sei Lok Dei Hung

I am sometimes truly amazed with myself. For instant.. the cooking of the liver with ginger. I tell ya.. it would never have crossed my mind.. to cook it on my own.. if i were still living in Singapore. Afterall, why cook when you can get them at your friendly neighbourhood “cze zar” store.. right..?? for a mere few dollars too.

For someone .. who haven’t really learned how to cook anything at all..because my mom never like us to mess up the kitchen.. i think in my case .. it’s call ” ma sei lok dei hung” (in cantonese) .. meaning.. horse die .. you just get down the horse and walk. My cooking is still very limited.. but that’s only because i can’t find the ingredients here.. and secondly .. really have no time. But i’ve cooked chicken rice.. pineapple rice.. and yong chow fried rice.. and even made my own tahu-goreng.. 😉

Yes.. i’m not usually one .. who looked back and lament about things.. but i am truly, truly amazed with myself.. for making the best outta my current food situation. The food i make/cook may not be the best.. nor authentic in taste.. but like the saying goes.. “beggars can’t be choosers right..??

PB Furious

Wow..!! i’ve never seen PB so furious. .and passionate about anything .. especially when it doesn’t concern him at all.

This evening at about 7.41pm.. he was at work.. and I was home with the brat… and he wrote.. “jesus christ wtf is wrong with some people.. a customer just whacked her kid in the mouth outside the store”. When he came home.. he again mentioned about it. And he said that no kids deserved to be whacked in the mouth.. no matter how naughty he or she is. Coz’ i had tried to defend the customer.. by saying her kids can be really naughty.. coz’ i’ve seen them act up.

But PB was quite adamant this time.. and kept insisting that it was wrong. So i let it be.. and didn’t pursue the subject.. afterall.. i wasn’t there. .and secondly.. it wasn’t my business t0 begin with.

Awesome Weather

Awesome weather today..!! I’m not cold at all..!! and chloe didn’t have to wear a sweater.

It was given as high as 19 degree today.. and i’ve just sent Chloe out to the park with Keegan. Not much wind either.. which makes it a perfect day for the park.

I hope the weather holds.. coz’ tomorrow.. we are going to Misha’s Cafe..!! they open shop today..!! woohoo…!!

PS : The motorbikers are out in full force today too..!
