Day 210

Day 18 – Working with idiots
Seriously, I’ve never met anyone as unreasonable as her before. I don’t mind given a lot of work. I don’t mind being scolded for making a mistake. However, I DO mind working with an idiot. I mind it more when I’m working under the supervision of one. She shouts for no reason, has a superiority complex, never admits mistakes, and thinks she owns my ass.
Oh, and did I mention that her English sucks? It’s so bad that I think my landlady’s 6 yr old girl speaks better English. How can one substitute a noun with another noun of a totally different meaning?? Nope, no one can do that except Super Moron here.
I was planning to work here for at least a year. Now, I don’t think she’ll hire me anymore pass the probation period. Time to look for another job ^^
Life at #04-1225
RY is a friend whom I’ve known for over a decade. She’s been in Singapore since we finished our Form 6. And so, like what any normal person will do, I asked her for help when I decided to go to Singapore to further my studies. She’s been there for over 4 years, so I assumed that she has established her network there and she’ll be able to of help to me. I originally wanted to rent a room, perhaps from a family or something but she talked me into renting a whole unit with her. Obviously, being the poor student that I am, I couldn’t afford anything more than the tight budget that I was given. She told me that I only need to fork out whatever amount I could and she will absorb the rest.
My cousin told me that I should’ve just proceeded with my original plan of renting just a room because it’ll be more cost efficient. I thought of the pros and cons and decided that it might be better off renting a room. When I told RY about it, she got upset saying that she has made the necessary arrangements and that I shouldn’t back off at the very last minute and such. So I thought to myself, well, what difference would fifty make. In return, I get to stay with a friend. It’s not like my family is poor, we can still afford the difference of fifty. So, I went along with the idea of staying with her. And obviously, being the person that I am, I didn’t think what a bitch she really is.
RY said that only the two of us will be staying there and she also said that she was boyfriendless. However, I ended up seeing her “boyfriend” there a lot (think, EVERYnight). When I approached her about it, she said they are no longer attached but they are seeing each other with no strings attached. After that, she started seeing different guys regularly. She would often tell me about her “adventures” with the different men she hooked up with and it was often told with glee. I remember clearly there was once she was told off in the club by one of her “victims” of how much of a slut she was (obviously, these weren’t the actualy words said, but to summarise, that’s what it meant). Now, tell me, which decent girl will actually tell her friend all these and still feel proud about it? I was warned by her that she has a lot of boyfriends, but what actually popped into my mind was “boy friends” not “boyfriends”. Guess I was wrong.
Not more than 6 months after I moved in with her, she found herself an American boyfriend, JK. I have to admit, I was rather taken aback when I was told. Not because her boyfriend is American (before the boyfriend came into the picture, she has probably slept with men from each continent) but because she actually found a man accepting her wild past and she actually decide to settle down and stop her streak of one night stands (later on, I found out that JK doesn’t know that RY used to be with different men every week. Not sure about now, though).
Life hasn’t changed much after that. A little argument every now and then which I probably have blogged about a few, but that’s about all that is to it. I had absolutely no idea about what was going to happen. One day, she started ignoring me. And because the queen is ignoring, the little eunuch had to do so as well (she’s the queen and he’s the eunuch because I find that he is a ball-less man who can’t make any decision of his own, and needs to beg for pocket money). So, FOUR bloody days before one of MOST major examinations of my life, they told me that they want me to move out of the house and the reason given was they wanted more privacy to themselves. What do you fucking mean by you want more privacy when you’ve been staying together for 7 bloody months with me around? And that bloody RY didn’t actually dare to tell me this, she got her eunuch to do so while she stood at the background watching.
They said they are not that cruel to ask me to move out in a week. They’ll give me month to do so. Heck, IMO, a month or a week doesn’t make much of a difference.
I told them I’m not able to do so because my exams are in 4 days, and my priority after that is to find myself a job. I can’t find a new place without finding myself a job first because I do not know how much I’ll be earning. He said “I don’t care. It’s not our problem. We’re not a charity.” Mind you, these are actual quotes.
When I said, “Before this you told me I could stay here for 2 years. I even paid the agent fees for 2 years.” She said “Then I’ll pay you back. Even if you didn’t move in with me then, I could still afford the whole place myself.” Then why did you fucking asked me to move in with you? Just so you could save that SGD350 a month, now you are trying to show off who has more money just because I do not have an income?
I got even more pissed off when she told me “I was the one who signed the contract. If I want you to move out, you have to move out”. Whoa, whoa…. wait a minute here. I do not remember her owning my ass. Thank goodness I have a good memory, because although I didn’t sign the contract, I know my name was in it as tenant so she can’t just kicked me out like that.
After all the hu-has, TS approached them and asked why did they have to tell me right before my exams. She has the fucking guts to say she’s not aware of it. Don’t fucking tell me you are not aware of it when I’ve been telling you the same thing for weeks. Oh well, being the cunning girl that she is, I’m sure she planned it out perfectly and decided to tell me this right before my exams. Otherwise she definitely has a brain the size of a pea for forgetting something told to her repeatedly over the period of more than a week so easily.
My main priority at that time was my exam so I thought I’ll settle it with them after my examinations. Obviously that was the perfect time for them to approach the agent to draft up a new contract. After that, a couple of letters were slipped under my door telling me that I should move out by 11th July 2008, bla bla bla…. (She actually told me to pay her May’s rental by 11th July when I have already paid her on 30th April. Bitch) After all that she has done to me, who will expect me to believe that everything she said was the truth. I asked for a copy of the new and the old contract. She replied saying that the agent tore the old contract in half since it’s no longer valid and she can only let me see a COPY of the new contract. I asked for the original copy and she said that since I am not tenant, I can’t view it. And mind you, all these were messaged to TS’ mobile.
On the day I surrendered my keys, she said she’ll get the agent to have a look at the whole unit, especially my room just to check on the condition. The time arranged was 27th June 2008, 10am. When we were there, JK told us the agent isn’t coming because he thought it was 10pm instead of 10am. Now tell me, who the fuck wanna view a room at 10pm on a Friday night?! I’m pretty sure it’s all a hoax and she didn’t call the agent. And I’m very fucking sure that she didn’t sign a new contract with the landlady either. Till today, I didn’t see the contract. And seriously, can you really just destroy a contract when a new one has been signed? Even though it’s no longer valid, but it still must be kept for various other purposes… like urm… let’s see… TAX and LEGAL purposes??!!!! Did she really think that I am so dumb to believe to that the contract has been destroyed?
I wasn’t really in much of a mood to argue with her about this since we’re almost done with the whole mess. Even to the very last minute, she dare not make eye contact with me. She didn’t even talk to me about the utilities and stuff. Everything was said through the ball-less man she is living with.
Seriously, I regret having known such a friend. Obviously the term “friend” shouldn’t be used anymore since it doesn’t apply to us any longer and she has blocked me from MSN, Friendster and Facebook. But knowing that she is a person I’ve known for half of my life really disgust me.
So, that’s it. Rachael Yap no longer exist in my life and I just had to blog about the whole thing to get it out of my chest. This will be the last time I hope I’ll ever hear of her, unless of course something miserable were to happen like urm… she’s getting married and some of the men she used to sleep with attended the wedding and happened to be friends of the groom and went like “hey, I slept with your missus before!! HAHAHA!!!”… or… JK sleepwalked (apparently he used [don’t know about now, but let’s pray he still does] to be taking these pills to help with his insomnia and people actually sleepwalk after taking them) and accidentally threw her out of the window… or… she met with an accident so bad that her face is mutilated and him, legs cut off … or…. he found out about her slutty past and dump her (which I think is most likely but then again, his life savings is with her)… but I think the likeliest of all is her cheating on him since she has a record of cheating on ALL her boyfriends…. then please feel free to tell me about it so I can say things like “serves her right” or “I knew Lord Spaghetti-mon exists” or “I knew there’s karma!!”
I could go on forever, but I think I should stop here. STOP.
Hell hath no fury….
… like this girl I know.
To all you girls staying outside, there’s a question I have for you.
How long can a bottle of 5 litres washing detergent last?
A. 90 days
B. 18 days
C. 140 days
D. 30 days
.

The correct answer is…… 18 days!!!
I’m not trying to be mean or rude but yesterday I noticed that the washing detergent we bought 18 days ago was finishing. Probably enough for one last wash. I told her that it is finishing a tad too soon and she asked what do I suggest. I said she could probably wash more clothes at once instead of washing like… 3 shirts and 2 shorts at a go. Then she said maybe it’s better to buy our own detergent. Fine by me if that’s what you want. At night she bought her own. And today she finished the last bit knowing that out of the 5 litres I’ve probably used only 200ml and I haven’t bought a new detergent. And… she hasn’t been talking to or looked at me the whole day today. I’m not particular about a few measly dollars but I think if it can be saved, then we should.
Oh, and did I mention that with each wash comes using the dryer once, which does not use very little electricity. And there she complaint about the utilities bill being too high and that I should use the air-con less. I’m sorry but there are other things that contributes to high electricity bills such as using the washing machine and dryer when you have less than 10 pieces of clothings to wash and switching on 4 laptops at once and leaving the laptop switched on overnight just to charge one stupid mp3 player and forgetting to switch of the lamp or the fan and leaving the air-con switched on overnight. And all of the above are definitely not done by yours truly.
I do not use the dryer because I did not pay for it and I’m not allowed to use it.
I have only one lousy laptop and I usually charge my mp3 player while I’m playing with the laptop.
I always switch off the lamp and fan after using it.
I always switch off the air-con after 2-3 hours of using it.
And one last reminder to all you people out there. Please please PLEASE do not leave your clothes in the washing machine. There are other people who wants to use it too.
