☼ The Dreamer's Diary ☼

Why??? Why ME???

I really don't like this Chinese New Year... It's irritating!!!

I don't really mean offensive to say this but things have actually happened too much during this Chinese New Year... It doesn't feel like Chinese New Year at all as I'm sandwiched between this celebration and upcoming final examinations... Even the family dinner was simply ruined by my own dad for not joining in the table purposely although my mom and I had begged him to join... Urrgh~~~ I wonder what was wrong with him!!! I don't want this kind of family dinner~

Then, there isn't anyone visiting my house for this so-called celebration at all. Yes, I admit that I'm quite lonely sitting alone at home without any old friends coming to have some noise. The whole neighborhood I live has been so quiet that not even a single "pop" of the firecracker for the first two days of celebration in the whole neighborhood I live as well... Damn it! I hate this kind of loneliness...

Besides, all I have done in this week are just eat, eat and EAT... Therefore, I need to lose more weight when school restarts soon and I really hope I will not have this kind of Chinese New Year celebration anymore... I'm darn serious...

I'm using this opportunity wishing all my friends and everyone who is reading this blog a Happy Chinese New Year although I still have to do some revisions for upcoming final examinations... It seems that I'll be having a quiet week for this new year as there aren't any firecracker being played in the neighborhood (*sigh~)... Even family gathering dinner turned into a disaster just now (I'll post more about this and other posts about celebrations next week). Anyway, here's the eCard you can play below:

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE GIVEN NUMBERS AT THE END OF THE CARD EITHER!

It's just another day I'm selling some of the old textbooks at school to a bunch of junior students. Well, I don't mean to be offensive but they're just kids who are really childish asking weird questions when they were doing business with me. I wonder if they know what it means to be engaged in business conversations... Anyway, now I've found out that kids are pretty tough to do business with. Here's why:

Kid A: Hello? Is this Joe? I wanna know if you have the Pre-Calculus textbook to sell as I need it.

Me: (What the hell? What's your name? Of course you're calling me just because you NEED it...) I'm sorry that I do not have the stock for it now. It is said that Math lecturers will offer to provide the books. Please consult your lecturers if they are providing some copies. Thank you.

Kid B: Hey Joe, I'm interested to buy your books. Do you have the original copies or the xeroxed copies?

Me: (Who's the next unknown kid bothering me now? Can't these kids introduce themselves?) I have a few copies of each for sale, please refer to the posted advertisement and the enclosed list of textbooks and the suppliers on the board.

Kid B: A few copies of each? Does it mean the books are not complete?

Me: (Urrgh~ Kid! Can't you READ and UNDERSTAND my words? Shut the f**k up!) The books are complete. (How on earth am I going to sell them if they're incomplete?) I have several original copies of textbooks and a few xeroxed ones. Can I know which textbook is your concern?

Kid B: Oh, so does it mean that you're keeping the textbooks with lecture notes included for sale? Well, I'm looking for two textbooks, Pre-Calculus and General Maths. So how much do you sell them?

Me: (What? I don't even mention lecture notes are included on the advertisement I wrote. And now you're even bargaining with me? @#$%&!) ......

Now I know why Business is meant for adults only...
