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.

Which day...????

I am sounding more like a "quiter" with each passing hour! My current employer needed to take his "lil princesses" back to China for "Ching Ming" and basically left me working for 2 weeks straight WITHOUT informing me of the following: - Time off during his absence? - Time off at all when he comes back? - Extra pay? Here I am after two days of him buggering off learning this, I WILL be working 2 weeks straight without a day off...there has been no discussion of reimbursing my days off that I should of had...and worse of all, DEFINITELY no mention of paying me extra for the EXTRA days off! I have been working my hands raw and body aches yet things seems to never end! 2nd day, 12 more to go......no, that is INCORRECT!!! My last day of was 26th March...its now the 9th...its my 14th consecutive day of working and I am starting to lose my mind! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRAY BACK YOU BUM HOLE!!!!! 7 more days till my "theo...

Just ranting!

WHO THE HELL GAVE THAT WOMAN THE "BIRTH RIGHT" TO HAVE ME TAXI HER AROUND AND EXPECT ME TO JUST AGREE?!?!?! SCREW YOU TO HELL AND TO THE NEW AREA WHERE THEY ARE MAKING IT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU YOU STUPID VA***A COW!!!! OK that had to come out, here's the story, throughout this week so far, my employer's wife who is looking after the work place in his absence has used a Chinese curse word on me several times. This curse word itself curses you to basically trip over and bust your face. It sounds lame translated into English but if you are Chinese and know which word I am referring to, then you know my anger, I can take it as a joke every once in a while but when you use that consistently,  you are testing my patients on how long I can withhold from punching that face of yours! So, its 12:46am now in UK, just over 2 hours ago, I was finishing up at work, Lisa (Boss' wife) comes strolling along and says "Hakuren, you busy tomorrow morning? I need a life up t...

Unusual dream...Gummy Bear Girl...

Fri 28th December 2012 Last night I had a very odd but pleasant dream. In the dream, my family (consisting of my parents, my 3 brothers and myself) was taking a friend family (parents and two boys) to the airport to send them off home. The airport was "Edinburgh Airport" but the outside surrounding and the entrance was exactly the same as Southampton Airport, England!!! Continuing on...as I entered the check-in area to look for the check-in counters for our "friend family" I became VERY confused, the inside of the airport was divided into two huge areas. The area that I entered was a lounge area with a live band doing covers of the latest chart music...they had a brass and other wind instrument band, one drummer and his drums, 2 acoustic guitar players, one cello player and one lead singer who had a very firm but gentle voice...I had a quick walk round this area to find out...ok maybe we don't check in here, so I met up with my youngest brother, Bruno at the...
