UNSPOKEN SILENCE

I am not lazy, as accused of, to update my blog. I have just been rather busy with work over the past few weeks. It really is tough to handle working over the weekends and working till 8pm or 9pm on the weekdays. It is just so darn taxing. I finally realised that I just cannot really be superwoman. But then again, I don't really like the idea of slowing down. I guess once the clockwork starts, it really is hard to slow down.

I do get confused looks when informed that I do not get OT pay when I work OT. Yes, I guess some of you might think that I am the stupid-est person on earth. Truth is, I am rather happy working in my current office. I get appreciated for my work, the colleagues are nice, my direct boss is nice, big boss is nice as well. Although you might still get the occasional black face from a female boss but it really isn't all that bad. Whatever it is, though I'm stressed and might have snapped, I'm still all the more thankful for the job at which I happy with.

Let me tell you a story...

So this lady, obviously from motherland, you seriously can't miss out on that ever so delightful accent of theirs. It is so absolutely one of a kind, if you don't recognised that accent, you are just plain daft.

Anyways, this lady from motherland called me on my mobile. (This is when I seriously ponder: 'Hmmm... how did my number end up on the call list of a Eh Humm company? Did they get it through some underhand means? Hack another company's computer?) I'm sorry, you just can't blame me for pondering since they are such geniuses at doing such things.

They are such a magnificent country with countless number of talented people ever so eager to prove themselves that they've never never really about the process of doing it. Either that or they are just unfortunate that their parents just don't teach them well on the moral aspect. I do believe in the latter much, much more. It just seems so much more believeable don't you think?

Sorry for the deviating, I just have so many positive comments to praise their kind that I just can't really get a real grip on my story. These people just really moved me with their ever so pitiful antics. So yes, where was I? Oh, a nice voice called me on my mobile, addressing me ever so politely, talking to me ever so sweetly, I just so wished that I could have a voice like that. Not the accent though, the accent is irritating enough as it is without the screeching voice. So yes, the call... she introduced herself to me, identifying herself as a caller from some company that has set up countless 5 star hotels around the world and yes, they will as well be opening one in our homeland, so near, you wouldn't believe it. Its in Sentosa.

So she continued to ask me questions such as whether or not I have stayed in the resorts, chalets or hotels in Sentosa. Oh definitely after hearing her ever so sweet voice, just too bad I'm not really a person with dick, I answered her in a cannot be bothered tone saying that I have never and am not interested in whatever she wants to promote to me.

Much praise to the undying attitude of these patient 'cheenarian' telemarketers, she continues to probe, asking me more questions of which were met with my ever so shut-up-and-fuck-off attitude, trying to tell her that I'm not interested.

So I guess she decided to switch course and to talk to me about the free vouchers that their fine company is so generous enough to give out. Applaud the lady for her ability to entice me with two nights free stay at the hotel. I guess she probably thinks that everyone is an easy prey whenever it comes to gaining something. So I told her I'm not interested in the free stay and she asks me why? I politely replied, I'm just not interested. But apparantly she did not get the point, you know why? Cos you just have to know that all 'Cheenarians' have the my-ears-are-too-stuck-with-earshit to hear whatever you are saying. So she tries for the second time, telling me about the voucher and that she will send it to me home address.

I then told her once again that I'm not interested and again she asks why? You know, we could just do this for the next hour or so, with her asking me why and me saying not interested. So in the end I told her, '因为我不稀罕。' But then again she did not get the point, telling me that it is a good voucher for me to share with my friends and families and again she asks for my address.

People, please do get it into your head that you should never give your address to anyone especially a 'Cheenarian'. They are so smart, you'd probably never be able to imagine what they can do with it. So if this lady thinks that the two nights stay at her so called hotel is going to entice me into giving her my address, then I guess she really isn't as smart as her counterparts. So once again (damn pissed off this time) I told her very sternly that I'm not interested. So I guess her patience worn off after 5 mins, she proceeds to say: '没兴趣又不早一点说。' and then she puts down the phone.

See, this is what you get for trying to be polite and listening to a Cheena ass. You get a slap in your face. I should have just put down the phone when I first her skanky voice. Whatever it is, I still applaud all these people from motherland, they are just such geniuses when it comes to things like lying, creating pirated stuff and fraud.

For example, today's Newpaper talks about how talents from motherland creates set-top decoders. Whatever wall they meet, they always try to climb it to get over and usually all these things has to do with making money and getting other people into trouble. They'll probably realise one day that they are failing in telemarketing aspects just cos their accent stinks of dishonesty. I do believe, being such good actors, they will one day fit in with the Singapore accent and no one will notice. That is unless you don't see them in person. I guess one thing you can differentiate them from locals are their dress sense.

Their dress sense as of now is still a barrier for them due to the difference in taste, however I really do believe that they will be able to fit in as well, I would most probably say within the next... erm... 20 years? Oh and do you know how to differentiate a China printed tee and a printed tee bought from say the states?

Check the grammar.

That's all for now... kudos to the talents from motherland!
