The Start of 2009

My luck has been pretty bad since the year started... I do hope that this is not the precurser to a bad luck year. I've been having shitloads of that for the past few years and am pretty tired of it all.

What do I mean by bad luck.... well let me just tell you... I was on my way to my dad's temple to pray to him... being a filial son I guess. I saw a Shell station and pulled in to top up my gas.... Then I saw a "hand wash" car wash.... So I went in... It was a bit more expensive than the one I always go to in Tampines, but then the service was better and most importantly... There were no lines....

After the wash.... I went to Tamp Mart and doom!!! It rained!!! So that was the start... the next scene was when I went to buy a pair of sandals.... Even that I had problems because my feet is size 5 and the smallest they had in the cheapo corner was 6!!! I had to settle for a slightly more expensive one, which I did not really like the look or the colour!!!! After that came the next dooom... which was KFC.... I was standing behind and old uncle and in front of him was a young kid and sister.... There were 2 registers but the other had a guy in front who did not seem like he was taking customers.... I was standing there for almost 5 minutes, I saw him fiddling with his register and thought he was either closing up or tallying the accounts.... Then the uncle in front of me asked me to go to the next register... I asked him..."Are you sure uncle"? I have been standing here for 5 minutes and that ding dong did not even ask me to go!!" We asked the ding dong and he said that he was manning the bloody register and can take orders???? WTF??? Thats service standards for you my frens... wait till the casinos... oops I mean IR's open.

So I ordered 3 piece meal... change the mashed potato to cheese fry and also an extra zinger burger .... just the burger only hor. Sp paid for the thing and went home and guess what... Instead of taking out the mash potato... he took out the coleslaw and he forgot the zinger burger... man did I ever curse and swear... but in the end decided not to complain..... Complain oso no use lah.

So as you can see.... luck wise has not been overly wonderful.... I am just wondering though.... How much worse can it get.... For me I am the type who faces my troubles and shouts "Is this all you have"? So I guess I have a challenger spirrit.... But then of course if you get struck by too many lightnings... the wise choice will be to put your tail between your legs and to crawl away quietly hoping not the get another strike.... hehehehehehehehehe
