And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All war depends on it."

Happy Monday!

i still got few more days to worry about work.OH!this is so perfect,too bad the weather been dull this days,coz it'll look better with sunshine and blue skies in the backdrop,but i ain't complaining,coz this is cool enough.

last night,i was taken from pasir ris back to AMK,where i jumped and dodged flaming planes and flaks at Normandy,stormed and raided Carentan,badly battered during the failure of Operation Market Garden,hiked and defended snowy fields of Bastogne where we were short of supplies and winter clothings,and marched all the way to the end of the war with fascist nazis.i was taken back to the unforgettable adventure with Easy Co,506th Parachute Infantry Regiment,101st Airborne Division.i was taken back once again,glued to the tv in my room,armed with keropok lekor,snacks,ice cream and milk,from 11pm all the way to 8am this morning.it was exciting and fun,to watch The Band Of Brothers once more in a marathon,coz the last time i did that was with Akai back in brisbane years back.and i felt like i was in the war myself,i was so tired at the end of it, i slept throughout the lazy monday afternoon.

Currahee!

Dirty Harry

the beautiful day started,with a pool of stale blood heavily collected,drooling down my chin and parts of my shirt and a big stain on my pillow,mind still unfunctioning with the morning clumsiness and torpid,i woke up in staggering motion and it hey,it was raining again outside.ooooh!

i felt reborn and so carefree but something felt different. (yeah right!with a big uncomfortable gap with strands of distasteful strings attached on the jellylike gum,well who doesn't?')

anyway,i spent the lovely evening with marlia,a return to the century square's metro where they had 50% and additional 30% crazy sale on various but selected items storewide.got ourselves more toys and more games and head down to delifrance for dinner and i couldn't swallow the whole twirly spaghetti and chicken but i ate every single bread on the table.head down to marlia's G.P. and goddamn we waited for nearly 2 and a half bloody hours for her turn.sent her home,i rushed back to my crib,shoved some pills down my throat and flushed it down with a glass of milk and rinsed with mouthwash.bid goodbye to benjamin,fetched siku mimi at marine crescent and arrived late at capitol.

it was way past midnite,called up tony,said he was at skatepark,zoomed down,the park lights were switched off,tony was nowhere available and the weather was turning against us.we looked at each other worried faces and as group of young skaters board their love van,we decided to turn back to city hall and skate CBD.

parked our scoots,a lil bit of stretching and our wheels started rolling on the damp,rather quiet stretch of pavements of sleepy singapura town.

New Trucks,New Tricks,

New Wheels,New Skills.

And Glory Lasts Forever!

(haha,dumb but i tried..)

after a long day and still i can't sleep,my mind thinking of purchasing tickets to The Cure concert but hmm i just don't know....

by the way,good news to Smashing Pumpkins fans,good to hear that they have reformed their band but bad news no guitarist James Iha and no bassist D'Arcy.*sob*

and the much awaited Icelandic Queen-Byork,made a comeback with new album-Volta.finally,after years,i'm really looking forward to that.

adios amigos,as i type this,it's 7.15am and already bright but yet gloomy and dull with those dark clouds looking like it's gonna pour again anytime.

and it's time for Dracula to say bye-bye.

Bye-Bye!

Firestarter

went out skating with siku mimi last night,he wanted to tried out his new trucks,new tricks scheme while i just wanna distract my mind a lil bit.

got back around 5am,and pretty much didn't sleep the whole morning.forced myself up,rise and shine and all that,got out my crib reluctantly around 2.30pm and damn,it was drizzling.everything look pale and grey,with the rain covering my eyes,i reached my destination,my appointment with 'dr.evil',and it looked too scary to be true.

he inserted a long stick into my mouth and after thorough check,he strongly suggested me to extract 3 tooths.YES 3!! as there were in very much trouble state.as expected,i gave him a thumbs up.very quickly afterwards,he took out a long syringe and sinked it deep in my gums.MY GOD!that was painful.i had countless accidents which led to surgeries of many kinds on variety parts of my body,but when it comes to tooth extraction,that's the one i would really wanna avoid.but this time,there's no escape.so he numbed my gums and briefly explained to me the procedures that he's about to conduct.i swallowed some pills,signed some forms and drank a cup of sweet Milo.soon,he elevated the chair,focused the spotlight,and there he went.i wore an orange goggle and right up ahead was a tv showing some war going on somewhere.a distraction,i supposed,but with the dentist and his assistant shoving and pushing and pulling my tooth,it's hard to be distracted,really.i saw blood on his latex gloves,and all the feary tools he used,however,shrunk my ding dongs.then out of the chaos,i thought of those interrogators who pulled victims' teeth with pliers and no anaesthetic whatsoever,ooooohh...

and after a while,with my eyes partially closed,i saw him pulling a long strand of string and in sewing rhythm,and shortly,it's done.the assistant placed a mirror in front of my face and the dentist showed me the bare end of my mouth.3 in a row,gone in mere 20 mins.

all that for $290,got my pills and mouthwash,plus 6 days mc.ooooh!

hey!and also i've caught simpsons the movie yesterday,it was exciting!!!!
ay carumba!

"Spider Pig!Spider Pig!

Does whatever

a Spider Pig does,

Can he swing

from a web?

no he can't

he's a pig

looookoutttt!

he is a Spider Pig!

gotta go,the anaesthetic is almost gone.

p.s-you only live once.

Besame Mucho

it's important,when you've got an eye condition,it's best not to strain.

but i'm so bored.

i've got a new toy!

so the other day,k-fad bought me a PsP cap at metro tampines closing down sale,and yesterday,after visiting 'dr evil',went down to the centre with marlia,and after much time checking out the crazy sale and the crazy people around,i kinda fell in love with the tomy's ultra mini remote control car.marlia bought me that r/c car which cost only $20.(actual price was $39.95)

and after tossing and turning on bed,i got so damn bored.i can't do nothing except staring at the ceiling and listening to Lush as my visual is partly blurred.

hey dude!i saw the boxed car and like a birthday child,i tore the plastic cover and in a flash,i unleashed the prized car.

whoo!

got changeable tyres,gears,the remote,and even the body could be swapped.plenty of accessories,cones and stuffs.at first it was kinda tedious to fix this tiny stuff and the japanese totally forgot about translating the manual with english language,but thank goodness there were 'how to fix' step by step in pictures.

after spending about half an hour,i got it sprinting.Haaaa!

and it ain't easy since i got my left eye totally blurry,but salute to Tomy!

i love this,man!totally cool!

yeah,it's smaller than my palm,but hey it's fast,real fast.used 2 AA batteries for the remote,and i just need to charge this fast lil thing around 45seconds on the remote itself,and whoa!go wild!!!

so go and checkout that metro closing down sale at century square tampines!get yourself the same car like mine,and we could go racing some day,eh?

or if not,just go shop till you drop with all the items that are on super sale!!!!

By The Way

the drugs prescribed by the dentist made me high.


woke up at 9am earlier this morning,i just washed my face and brushed my teeth and had bananas and breads and a glass of milk and followed by the antibiotics,painkillers and that mean green mouthwash which i then gulped down the remaining milk from the glass.


lighted a cigarette,and still in a groggy state,i was enjoying the morning sea breeze and the music from the speakers.head back to my room,buried myself under the pillows and had the bestest sleep.


startled at 2pm,i got up,had my showers and in the light drizzle,i rode to marlia's place and then to haig rd where i got myself measured for my 'baju kurong.'went down bugis where i got my wriswatch fixed and ended up at beach rd for 'no doubt the most delicious mee goreng in the world.'


and since Sunday was so dull with the rain and there's no other place we could think of going,we went back home.


and my left eye was bloodshot red and now it got my right eye too.


i need to rest yo.

9pm Till I Come

been few days and nights that i've been sent to hell and back,i underwent and still experiencing "the most EXCRUCIATING toothache"i've ever had.

it started with a slight pain which then developed into a sharp throbbing torment.it affected my life pretty badly.initially,i swallowed aspirins with hope that it could tame this beast but i was all wrong.then i took painkillers but instead of soothing,it drove me into a drowsy clumsy state.
and the toothache grew worse.i couldn't sleep,i couldn't eat and i can't work.and so,earlier today,with the weather as gloomy and dark as my tooth,marlia brought me to her neighbourhood dentist.my face was swollen,probably due to the aspirins that i took a little too much.honestly,i was totally reluctant to visit the dentist,but today i just had to face the devil once again.i had bad experience with dentists and especially that chair with the spotlight shining on your face and the scary shiny tools that they use.i just hate all that.it made my skin crawl.
i was stiff when the dentist,who spoke with a slang,checked my mouth,and he went like,"oh no!"
and strongly suggested that he gotta plucked out all the rotten teeth that i have.but he can't do shit today,as i had a severe infection.prescribed antibiotics,painkillers,a bottle of green mouthwash and two days mc.told me to come back next week,the proper extraction of the tooth with the killer pain,and hopefully an end to this agonizing experience.

Thriller

CosFest (Costume Festival) or SG Cosplay Convention which took place last weekend here at my workplace,when and where you could see flocks of anime and fantasy characters paraded and posed for the event which being held every year without fail.

most of them donned themselves up with costumes,some took part in the competition while the rest just arrived in style according to their favourite idols or characters and mingled among the heavy crowd just to celebrate the two days.dubbed as "july's halloween" by fellow colleagues,it was sure an event not to be missed.

and of course,much anticipated stormtroopers and other star wars characters were there too!

and amidst all,a white cute and furry bear appeared.young and old,pulled out their cams and eagerly waited for their turns to take picture with it.

so who was the cheeky bear?

Fix You

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

3 days leadership course is OVER!

initially,i struggled,coz the course begins at 9am,and for a nocturnal mammal like me,who's extra active at night and the wee mornings totally glued to the PsP screen,i got a hard time.

i arrived late on the first day,and i felt guilty,and was shocked to see the other class participants which include few bigshots,both familiar and unfamiliar faces from various different departments which comprised of back end and front line guys.

at first it was tense as we had to stand up and speak in front of everybody in a small,cold room and honestly,i felt a little introverted.but soon after getting to know all the guys,i felt good.and there was lotsa jokes and fun activities and i didn't feel sleepy that i thought i should be.

so entirely,we learnt about 'service mindset',knowing and understanding internal and external customers,how to avoid and solve entanglements and conflicts and all that.it was a very fruitful course which equipped us with better understanding and ways to tackle people in both service industry and could also be applied in everyday life.yup.

and lately,my addiction to the Psp is getting hardcore.

i'm playing Grand Theft Auto now,taking a break from the Medal Of Honor Heroes,and i must say,with all the violence and quite disturbing graphics,i've been REALLY,TOTALLY engrossed and have been getting flashes of game scenes when i'm idling.quite dangerous,huh.

i'm trying to discipline myself now,but sure hell it's as hard as kicking smoking habits.

so i got both.

i smoke more and i played more.

and so i imagined,

if an adult like me got so hooked up with the games,

what about the kids?

and what about the violence that could dangerously influence them?

are we in control?

i got high!

Jeremy

the weekend is almost,over.

drenched in pool of sweat and soakin' wet due to the rain which came without a warning.
it was so HOT earlier today,even the aircon units didn't seem to be working.
been here at work as early as 9.30am,on a sunday.
so what is so S-U-P-E-R,on a very typical sunday for me?ahh,i've gotta work,dude.(quit smiling man,ain't funny alright..)
and i gotta skip tonight's skating session with the capitol crew,i'm just too tired.
and looks like this whole week i'm occupied and i can't do shit outside of work.
i've a 3 days course this week,and coming friday,already i know that i'm gonna be pretty tied up.
it's gonna be a long,long week,again,don't you hate it?

work.work.work.

My Sacrifice

only yesterday i moaned about how sometimes work could drive me insane,or how sometimes people i work with could drive me nuts.and it's not only that,it could even sometimes affect my emotions.and worst,my personal life.

and if i quit my job,where the hell am i going to?i don't own high flying papers that allow me to hop and with the current situation i'm in,i could bury myself six feet under.and everything in this small piece of country is all about money,and it ain't cheap with the recent rise of GST.sometimes,how i wish i have a boat,not a big one,so as long its in a working condition and have ample room for my itchy feet to move around onboard,then i could just sail around and fish.yes,i've always have this love and passion for the sea,and that's why i took up diving and pleasure craft licence.but diving is so costly while owning a boat will cost me a bomb,so the closest that i could get,is hanging around at pasir ris beach,witnessing the sunset and imagining myself on a boat.*duh*

i was so depressed last night,and right after work,i took a stroll down the asphalt pavement of pasir ris park,a yellow water bottle in my left hand,while the other clinging on a lighted cigarette.i felt so pissed off,with everything which seemed to go against me.i walked without a direction and soon ended up at the waterbreaker.the place was suprisingly quiet.i was all alone.i sat,on the cold hard surface of the waterbreaker and start re-assessing my problems one at a time.it started drizzling a lil bit and occasional wind shook the trees behind.lighted another marlboro,my tired eyes gazed at the sea across me.it was low tide,and the sea was dead calm and pitch black.pulau ubin looked like a long stretch of graveyards,the skies above was red and angry.and then i quit thinking,i don't wanna prolong the pain.i just kept quiet.and deep inside,i just prayed to God,for peace and tranquil,to free me and the rest of the believers on earth from all the complications of life.and after a while,i forgot that i was all alone,and a glance on my wristwatch indicated that it's midnight.whoo!i've sat there for quite some time and decided to head back before i got devoured by any sea serpents or water breaker ghosts.
the gate was locked when i arrived,so i had to walk a big round to get to my crib.

earlier this morning,we hastily put aside everthing that needed to be done,and by afternoon,everything was ready and perfect as planned.

plan.everything is about proper planning and essential in every aspects of life.and that at least i've learnt and in fact still learning.
plan b.it's something that we all should do when something or somebody screw up your plan.

and all of that won't happen if we don't have the Blessings and Grace of God.
just before i left for work,my bosses called me from far,
with big smiles,they drawed their hands to shook mine.
i was caught in big suprise in just a b-ball shorts that cover my sweaty body.
and i swear my bosses are aliens that could scan and read minds.
my prayers answered on this beautiful historical tuesday.

i got a promotion.
Alhamdulillah.

Billie Jean

not really a-happy-monday mood today.
plenty of jobs to be done for this upcoming weekend,thought that i could just switch into a relax mode but i was wrong.

i was alone,and was doing my job when a colleague came,not only he disrupted my attention,but irritatingly he asked why was i doing the work alone?i smiled and continued with my work.
then made me thinking,my mind was engulfed in a turmoil of rage,with flames and flashes of lightnings.i wasn't sane at that particular time.still with my work,but my mind was somehow persuading me to leave and get a new job.A NEW JOB?this is my first job right after national service,and it's not the first time i had stupid people questioning stupid questions about my job.NO,i love this job.to many,the job that i have is tough.yes it is tough.but we practised flexibility.and i'm not desk bound and i don't have to answer stupid office errands.

some best things about my job-
1)8 working hours,2 shifts,am and pm-for example-am shift,on a weekday,report at 10am,switch on console,and there we go,an hour of breakfast.work for an hour,then we go for our lunch,which is around an hour and a half to two hours,come back and continue our routine and we'll stop by 5pm,a tea time break and off we go.so lemme see,about four hours of real work.that's something huh.
2)we were given uniforms,from t-shirts,to collars,jerseys and even jackets,and not forgetting caps with our company emblem printed or embroidered,but we choose to go barebody,hey it's a resort,man!
3)i got a place to crash.
4)always,not only brush shoulders with celebrities,but mingle with them as well.not ALL are stuck up,ok.(heard rumours the company bringing in chemical romance,fergie,paul anka and megadeth,YES!)the last event i did,Zachary Mosalle was the emcee and he was a truly nice person,giving tips and sharing personal experiences.
5)put up cool events.like And1 3 on 3 challenge,extreme sports competitions (which include skateboarding),concerts(barney,sesame street,circus,rock,hip hop,retro) and CosFest or costume festival which is held every year and the next one will be this weekend,and that's when i could actually get up close and personal with many anime,fantasy characters which include Star Wars.yeah!
6)we got so many freebies,posters,stickers,goodie bags,prizes,event t-shirts!
7)my working team are really FUN people!2 crazy filipino jokers,1 javanese and one hot tempered indian old man...

and that's just 7.plenty others.well there are many who come and go,with 'reasons' like, "There're so many 'politics' in this company,i can't take it.."
"i'm so stressed out!"
"she's a bitch!"
dumb excuses.
if you leave a company,because you wanna avoid the web of 'politics' or 'conflicts',my best bet is,you will still bump into and get all sticky with all that.hey!open yours wide,it's everywhere!
it's either you can't perform well,you can't deliver your job or you don't have funky friends to work with.Get a life,lazy bum!


i am sticking to my job,and i'm proud of it.
what don't kill me,makes me stronger!

Rumpshaker

i was late for work earlier,came to work in a casual sunday mood.did some updating on the week schedule and job allocation for next week.took the liberty to take another off-in-lieu on thurs,but my boss was a lil upset.Ahh..

did the blue lights special and followed by bigfoot challenge and quite suprising the turnout was really good.by then those cold dark clouds were coming down,and thank Goodness,due to the rain,the water telematch was cancelled.we left early today,i rushed back to my crib,did a thorough cleaning;vacuumed the carpet,cleaned the windows,changed new pillow covers and new fabric curtain with Boston Celtic's Paul Pierce grinning,tidied up all eyesore,and cleared lotsa rubbish and last but not least,i washed my clothes.

and after all that,my stomach started grumbling so i had a hot shower and went back home.after dinner and Shaft the movie,i quickly packed my stuff and rushed to my scoot as the weather didn't looked pretty good.but alas,i was very much caught in the torrential rain at the highway,and felt like a thousand needles piercing my exposed flesh and i didn't stop but just continued riding on the very bad slippery road with blurry visual.

exited the highway and reached pasir ris safe and sound.stopped at the junction and while waiting for the green light to appear,my eyes scanned the jungle across in the drizzle.it looked like something waving at me in the bushes,but in split second,the green light appear and i quickly,re-focused and diverted my attention on the road,right hand twisting the throttle,F-A-S-T!!!

maybe it's just leaves blown by the wind or something,or,was it,like something else?
i don't know,and try not to think much of it.
coz hey,i am all alone here,SO DON"T START!

"Datok,Nenek,cucu tumpang jalan.."

heard my childhood friends said that before we entered jungles when we were younger and they strongly encouraged every one of us to say it out loud.but then i learnt from my Ustazah when i was in the madrasah before,that it's wrong to say that,it's kinda Syirik,kinda misleading in some ways.She told us to beri salam,which is Assalamualaikum and seek protection from Allah instead.not some Datok,or Nenek that by greeting them will ensure safety and protection throughout the entire journey in the jungle,a big NO man..and not only upon entering homes,but even before embarking onto a journey on ship at the sea or air,and practically anywhere and everywhere.

Assalamualaikum!
i gotta go now.
*POOF*

Hip Hop Is Dead

now i've completed Operation Market Garden campaign,i could breathe a little easier,but that doesn't mean it ends there.Medal of Honor Heroes is partly to be blame for my saggy dark rings under my droopy lazy eyes,the 'real' reason i felt so lazy to wake up this morning,but it was real good.and i've actually hooked up the Psp to the surround speakers system,and not only it was boombastic,it's a hearthrob,baby.now the whole eastern region residents will cream in their pants each time i switch on my console,hell yeah!

marlia has just reached bintan as i type this,with her family for a short & sweet getaway at some nirwana resort.and i'm here,working.how i wish i could join em.and it only made worse when i woke up in a struggle earlier,with the alarm banging my ears and it was 7am in the morning,and it was raining cats and dogs outside.Huh!

and since there's no one at marlia's place,i was given the honour,of babysitting their beloved pet fishes.went over to her place last night,stuffed em fishes into a box,which however was leaking,brought it back to my crib,and boy,i really had a little trouble handling those fishes.fed em with chilled bloodworms,and they are now having a ball,in a cosy red pail with those underwater plants uprooted and scattered all over the surface.

so i watched transformers movie last night,and despite the very much hype,i was really,i must say,unimpressed.yeah the EFX was great and all,uhh but the plot,the storyline was disappointing.enuff said.i rather watch star wars trilogy a million times,and still i won't get sick.

ahhhhh,i better get back to work......

La Isla Bonita

been cracking my head for the past hour an a half trying to think of problems back at work coz i got a one on one discussion with me boss tomorrow afternoon.my mind can't think straight,especially after k-fad pimped another fabulous game into my PsP.it's another medal of honor,and its time to kickass.YEAH!now i've plan to sacrifice some hours of beauty sleep to reclaim nazis occupied lands in europe,you know what i mean.

earlier this morning i rode on my italian stallion to the toy shop to swap my faulty tin robot,and then detoured down the CTE back home for lunch and return to work and that journey was less than 15mins.(that's what marlia said and furious about..haha!!)

my latest collections-strange,scary,staggering yet cool tin robots.the two at the back are battery operated.the purple one move few steps and the body rotates with window on chest open with twin guns shooting with fancyful lights and sound.the mighty grey robot emit smoke each time it stop walking,with lighted eyes and crown-very the 'POWERFUL!'while the front shiny blue mini-robot is just another friction wind-up tin toy,but you should see him moonwalk,dude!!!!and while the rest of the world is busy thinking of megatron,starscream or barricade,here i am,in my fantasy world of tin robots but I LIKE!!!

so,songs like friday i'm love,a letter to elise,pictures of you,close to me,lovesong,fascination street ring any bells to your ears.HEY!!they are coming to town this august,ya know?i grew up listening to their songs and robert smith,with his weird hairdo and Revlon on his face and not forgetting their strange costumes,a forever gleaming wonder and charm.but sad thang,i haven't made any plans to watch em live,still hesitating,still thinking,coz i've calculate and i think i've overspent my budget for this month.*sad*sob*all i can say,i'll try my best to come in style for the concert..hopefully.

my Cure records

Don't Believe The Hype

the gang with additional couple of guests last skate session and hell it was sure good to be out together again.

we met at rendezvous point-old capitol theatre at midnight,and hit 7-11 for drinks and wasn't welcomed by the in-house security guy who told us to skate elsewhere but there was the 'shah rukh khan' family and junior who wanted to try yanto's deck.which we then proceeded to SMU where i had my 'first blood' kickflip.i managed to land which i believed,by luck and chance.this kickflip shit is driving me mad,coz i've been trying real hard to pop and slide-kick my foot sideways and the board flipped midair but i couldn't land it with both foot on the board nicely.only once.and that's it.and practising flips alone already drained my stamina(not forgetting those cigarettes.)i was panting and bones achin' throughout.but well worth it.

we cruised down to cathay,then dhoby ghaut where adil,siku mimi and sheikh ollied down scary flight of stairs.the arrival of an ambulance and a squad car with lights flashing and all made us move upwards to skatepark where upon reachin' i was completely burnout.and when we sat back and rest,we joked about everything under the stars.it wasn't long until we decided to get some refreshing drinks at 7-11,and along the way,siku mimi's wheel and nut rolled out of its truck,good thang he managed to find the missing nut,not once but twice.

we trailed all the way back to capitol,bid farewell to sheikh and the other dude i didn't quite catch his name.

can't quite wait for the next session which is next tuesday-arriba!

p.s.-save your money and don't go and watch die hard 4.0 at any cinemas near you-it's CRAPPY!

I Eat Cannibals

issues.we all have issues.you.me.
discuss disgust.complaints.us.them.
have we forgotten,to forgive and forget?
to live happily ever after?one planet,one love?

Case issue no.1-Hans vs Couple and a Kid.

Hans,a carousel and kiddie mini convoy cars operator,had to man both rides as the other female operator went to the loo to relief herself.as he led the kids to their exit from the convoy ride,a kid hopped happily onto one of the cars as parents watched closely behind the barricaded entrance.after 4 rounds of cruising around on the metal platform,hans stoppped the ride and as he open the barricade to lead the kid out,kid's daddy questioned him,"how come he got 4 rounds instead,while the kids before him got 8 rounds?"for $3 per kid is entitled to 4 rounds as stated on the banner,for your information.Hans didn't want to get entangled into arguments,and led the kid back into the car for another set of rounds.as he thought that would bring peace and happiness to both kid and parents but...Daddy was furious and decided to pursue the matter,to lodge a complain.the family walked a short distance into the airconditioned information centre nearby,and talked to guest relation officer.Hans followed them inside,and approached them,asking them gently and in calm manner,but by then,Daddy turned into a fit of rage,causing a scene.Hans just asked him,still in a cool tone,"i'm just doing my job,do you want my job till you have to scream and shout at me,i got your kid his fair share."feeling a little upset,hans told him that he could lodge a complain at the guest relation officer and he left the place,back to his duty.as he left,Daddy was shouting real loud.but the story didn't end there.they sat on the sofa refusing to budge and Daddy rang up the police and reported to them that he and his family felt threatened by Hans.but what Hans did?kid got his happy rounds,he didn't even raise his voice,and not even a single profanity he muttered,but why?

Case issue no.2-Xiau Hui vs a member of event organising committee.

a family day event.big crowd.music blaring.emcee babbling.pop-corns.candies.ice cream.food.airbrush tattoo.badge making.ill comunications.
4.55pm.long queues to get their free temporary tats and getting their handywork sealed on badges as memorable souvenirs.somebody told the operators to stop at 5pm.they did as instructed,and stopped the crowd from joining and struggled to get the remaining people what they sought for.xiau hui,duty was to ensure that everything was smooth,and realising that something was wrong,quickly ordered the operators to continue without stopping.but she was a second too late.she was approached by a lady,who was one of the organising comittee for the event.she shouted at her,and accused her for stopping the queue,with everybody watching.the lady also flipped her lanyard,exposing her pass,indicating that she's a member of the event organising committee.the lady also told xiauhui that she will report a complain about her.xiauhui told her to proceed with her intention and flipped her pass to her face."Go Ahead.."
bad mouth.bad communications.

Case issue no.3-Fad vs family with kids who played soccer at a-no-ball-games-lawn.

we were setting up equipments for an autograph session when a ball was kicked and went directly towards us where we were busy laying cables.the kids were playing soccer and hitting the ball so hard against the panels behind the dj console and on the walls of the tentage.they were playing on the lawn where there was a huge wooden sign stating no ball games allowed.fearing that they might kicked the ball and damage our equipments,i told them not once but twice.still they ignored and continue playing.i told fad to approach and stop them as he was wearing a staff pass as i left mine in the console.they ignored still.twice and finally the third warning by fad,he said,"hello,if you don't stop now,i'll cut your ball into half!"
they stopped.
and they sat back with their parents at a table close to the console.
during the autograph session,the kids started again.this time fad shouted."HARLOW!!!!!"but was quickly intercepted by a feminine voice."excuse me,hello..why are you shouting at my kids?can't u speak nicely to them?i am their mother.you should approach me and you should speak nicely as we're of the same race.."
fad answered,"i've spoke to them many times,but they ignored,and i just fear that they might do some damage on the equipments and we're having a show."
another voice replied,this time round it's an elderly guy,"if they damage your equipments,i'll pay!!!!"
"it's not about paying,and i don't want your money,it's our responsibility of everything that goes around here.it's my job."fad answered and walked away.

right made wrong,wrong made right.
so,where is the love?
