Getting grumpy ?

As i age, i realized i am getting grumpy.

Scenario 1.

Last Friday at a Japanese restaurant, after dinner and i was queuing up to make payment.
There was only one counter, the queue was long.

There was supposed to be a receipt of list of items i ordered. I did not get it.
"I will quote the table number.." i thought to myself..

There was already about 3 people queuing in front of me.

Holding my credit card in my hand, finally it was my turn, and yes, i quoted the guy my table number. He generated the bills.
As i was going through the items, the guy grabbed my card from my hand. (He must be very desperate for my payment.)

My mind went -__-''

He thank me in the end, but my reply to him was : " Next time, dont grab people's card away like that. "And, walked off.

Scenario 2.

Seated at a table, while going through the menu, the waitress approached and check with us if we can change the to another table. (The incoming team was of 8 people.)
Being nice, we agreed.

But, so much for being nice.
Seat was being shifted to the most corner of the dessert place, and the air con was blasting onto me.
Best part of all, no one bothered to take my order, i had to walk to the counter to do so.

The next irrirated thing was, the same waitress who requested me to change seat, ask me to go back and prepare the money to pay. (Huh? I have not even eaten, and you asking me to pay??)

Feeling irritated.

I paid my $8.30 bill, with a $5 note, and the rest in coins. (Bleh!!)

Am i becoming more and more grumpy ?



Or i am just bad ??

Singapore Zoo's polar bear Sheba

The article stated : Singapore Zoo's polar bear Sheba dies at age 35.

No wonder i did not see it at my recent visit to the zoo.

I think most of us can remember that polar bear, whom we all know, and would be so excited to see it when we visit the zoo.
Its tough to see a polar bear, in topical Singapore.

I love watching the polar bear, swimming around.

So sad.

Will the zoo, make a theme out of her like Ah Meng too?

R. I. P. Sheba

Nice songs heard, recently.

Been to KTV few days back with my ex colleagues.
It was also a birthday gathering for two November babies.

Some one sang this song.
 
Wanting 曲婉婷 - 我的歌声里 (You Exist In My Song)



Later i realized she is a Chinese born Vancouver based International singer/song writer. (From her Twitter Profile.)

Her voice reminded me of Adele.



But still, i enjoy both their singing. Do you? =)

The annoying sms spam

As mentioned in the post title, annoying sms spam.

Have you ever receive such sms shown below ?
I guess most of us did.



This is not the first time, i received such sms.
Guess it must be generated automatically by system or something. ( Who exposed my number huh? )

No reply after i replied "No money".

I hope i won't be charged for replying.

I also want to be a Taxi Driver !

According to this article, this taxi driver, Mr Muhammad Hasnor Hashimearns about SGD 7,000 a month.

When i saw the article, my eyes opened BIG.

SGD 7,000 a month?

Is taxi driver really earn so much?? (For a while, i really wanted to be one too...)

The article reported, Mr Muhammad works 6 days a week for at least eight hours a day, and rests on Sundays. His work day starts at 5.30am when he sets off from his Woodlands flat, and ends at 10pm, with enough time in between for him to drive his children to his in-law's home, have his meals, take a nap to recharge, and spend time with his family. 

6 days a week, long hours everyday.

Not easy. But with the money earned, i guess he is more than happy.

At times, i also want to quit my job, and go for a 3 months, or 6 months holiday.
In my dreams i can, in reality, i can't.
Who is going to pay for the bills ?
Will we have enough to spend, without working for at least 6 months ??

Look at Dr Richard Teo, he earned so much money... but then... =(
Watch his video HERE.


Some people, dont need to work, got money to spend. 
Some people, work so hard, not much money or time to spend.
