Starbucks and my ugly new haircut
I think someone was trying to rob me of my laptop while I was on the way to starbucks just now. While walking here there was this guy on his motorcycle who saw me and immediately stopped to ask me for directions. While he was stopping I quickly walked away from the road and and as he motioned to a piece of paper on his bike he asked me "lao ban zhe ge di fang zai na li?" which means "boss, where is this place". I just said "wo bu zhi dao", "I don't know" and walked away. It was actually a scary experience because what if I walked towards his bike and he decided to whack me and rob me of my laptop? Even worse, stab me, rob me and leave me for dead! Tell tale signs, he didn't take out that paper, he just touched it. If i had gone closer to take a look I would've been beaten up! In this country you cannot be friendly. I heard that a bunch of indians in a van go around kidnapping girls to gang rape them. They stop close to a girl, ask for help, when she goes closer, they grab her, drive to some undisclosed place, gang rape her and either leave her for dead or murder her. Even schools or universities for that matter are not spared. Kidnappers go there to kidnap students! Staying here is rather stressful. But atleast I learn to be more street smart. you win some and then you lose some lah.
Even taking the taxi is stressful! I feel that all the taxi drivers want is to cheat my money! Yesterday when i called a taxi to drive me to church, one of the wanted to charge me 9 bucks when I usually pay 7 bucks. I tried bargaining but he didn't budge so i bid him good riddance. Called again, this time the other driver wanted to charge me 10 bucks! What a creep! I was like "No way!" i said "7 bucks!" and in the end we agreed for 8 bucks but i made him take the long way to church because he clearly doesn't know the way hehe, that's what u get for trying to cheat my money! I make u waste petrol! :P I hate dishonest people! Anyway, Thank god after mass my church friend, Louis, drove me back. Somemore his home is quite far from my apartment, what a guy!
It's been quite a drama mama week for me anyway. Just last week, my process manager brought me out for a haircut and when i told the barber "short" he took it literally and SHAVED my head!!! My face changed the moment he did that! and when my front looked too in proportional i asked him to make it look more neat, guess what? he CUT it! Now i look like GI joe! Crap. Hope my hair grows just in time to be adequately long for when I go visit my darling Amie again. *muack* I love you Amie.
Oh, and I've recently started cooking for myself. I take more than an hour to cook and less than 5 minutes to fninsh everything up! What's going on? I made scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast this morning anyway yum yum! Too bad I can't cook with the TS... They had chicken rice the other time! Guess what I used to cook my breakfast anyway. A rice cooker! That's all I have anyway because the gas stove has been broke for eons. Now, the bottom of it is all chao ta! wahahahahaha :D Anyone have any anti rice cooker chao ta secrets? Care to share your tips with me? :P Dinner, omelette made from my baby's secret recipe! Hope the rice cooker behaves this time!
