Irritation...



Ever get one of those days where you wake up refreshed and ready to get on with the day? I felt like that this morning but then I got a call...
"Hey Hakuren, the plumber is here can you pop by?"
“Yup, on my way!” I replied

You see, majority of the Chinese operates under a hierarchy system, when the ones at the top are unavailable, the guys at the bottom looks at me. I am all for helping people but it’s the people themselves who ask for my help that most piss me off!
Allow me to explain; I have been in the restaurant business for about 5 years on end, met many tradesmen, good and bad, fluent Cantonese and English speaker, able to run a simple bar without problem, I am free most days since my position was taken over by some less efficient person and…the one person who EVERYBODY takes a stab at with their smart ass comments.

Mind you, not everyone is rude to me…. Perhaps it is my tendency to manners, when I ask anyone for something or help, I will say “Please & Thank you” at the end and in turn I will owe that someone help for when it is needed. But of the ones who are a rude to me, when they ask me for help, it isn’t asking. They are TELLING me to help them like it is their given right that I, should pull out MY OWN TIME & SOMETIMES MY OWN MONEY to help them. I don’t get anything afterwards, mostly I only want a “thank you” but that is a rare thing to come by, at least from these people…

Be my relatives through blood or people I know, when asking someone for help, you don’t shout down the phone telling me to help. I am more likely to help when you are polite, just like HOW YOU TAUGHT ME TO BE. I really don’t mind helping, in fact I believe it brings me some Karma points, this time, I rant to myself…next time…I “won’t” be in town to help you out…or I will prolong the services you need to get your businesses back into operation.

You have taken my time from sourcing out stock for my new business, put me in a foul mood that none of you care to know the reason for and my irritated state of mind won't ease for a few hours yet...This boy has grown tired and will retaliate, even if it is for something as small as a thank you. I only ever asked for the little things in life. YOU ARE WARNED.

Tuesday 18th December

I have been drinking for almost the whole week...about 4-5units a time and have noticed that its not good for me...I can't think straight, I can't focus, I am losing motivation and its getting very depressing. OK, my ex girlfriend has got a new boyfriend shortly after the break up...it hurts. Deal with it better! OK, there's this girl I like but doesn't feel the same...it hurts. Deal with it better! My best friend, Adam, you are an irreplaceable in every sense of the word. Thank you for being there when I needed somebody the most and for giving me good enough reasons to hang on to what is left of my sanity. Now that I've sobered up a little can I realise that I am the one stopping myself from progress of any kind. With the Xmas period round the corner, a few drinks will be fine, then afterwards I'll go 2 months without it and see what happens. During this time, I'll catch up on the reading that I have to do and get my "to do list" knuckled d...

A thought occured

Today, Friday 21st of December 2012 and predicted day of THE END...What have I done on this eventful day so far? In the early hours, I had went back to my previous posts, added more information, details in certain areas and checked for anything that didn't make sense. 11:30am, British Time, I turned up at the hair salon for my wash, cut and dry appointment. I know this sounds boring so far but bare with me...my usual stylist was as lively as ever, Kayleigh is her name and she amuses me with her tales of weekends and antics that she gets up to. The conversation then headed towards the subject of her attracting males that have mental problems to a certain degree or ones that seems good, hooks up with her and then spilt because the guy has a psycho partner ready to kill Kayleigh! I asked her if she's been doing anything different? No was the answer, she has the same group of friends, they hang out in the same place, they do the same things and the only slight difference is,...
