So there, Tsunami has already happened. Everywhere till today, the news is still focusing on the after math of the event. Organizations are still collecting money and such.
We hear about all these generous malaysians - donating money and also used clothes.
Hmmm... so generous rite until they actually donate old underwear, false teeth... Whats up with that man. Electrical appliances that don't work no more is being donated, or faulty ones that almost took someone's life. That is really shallow man. They think of this donating thingy as their dumping ground. So sad to say these are my fellow countrymen. Almost embarassed to even say it or to be afiliated with them.
As I have been away for training this week i found another ugly side of these so called professionals. As we all know, everyone likes it when we can actually claim our mileages when we go training and such or meals what so ever. But i can't believe it how people actually react to these so called freebies.
We are not even sure yet whehter this can be claimed as we are receiving different information from long time employees whom are also in the training. But some really kiasu ppl already like spend like as though they can claim. Worse thing is this indian guy well actually he is the male bonnie I was talking about in my previous blogs. Anyways, after he and this other malay guy found out can claim for lunch also ( we are just assuming that the information given is true), they bought 2 burgers for lunch and ate like pigs. I am just thinking Bonnie M doesn't even eat lunch sometimes coz he wants to save money. But when people offer him food or anything he will grab and grab.
This is not the first time I have seen this behaviour in Bonnie M. Even when we went for orientation, he tah pow the food back. My Goodness.. I am sure the company pays him reasonable pay. I think this is just a northern thingy. People from north very kiam siap. Anyways...... i am so shy to be seen with people like that. Really behave like uneducated people lah.
I hate this ugly side of asians.... why do we need to be like that.. Why do we need to be behave really like second class people and just affirms what the westerners think about us?!?!?!

I hated it too. I feel ashamed when people do this type of things in front of an ang moh and he somehow associate this person to me just because I am an Asian too. And maybe that is the reason why I hate buffets. I hate lining up. I hate having people see me filling up my plate. I hate to see people who fill up their plate but could not finish the food.
Just last year.. I was in this flight from Japan to USA. I travelled in business class. In business class, you are given a nice pouch that contained hygiene stuff like fresherner, perfume, hand lotion, etc. When the plane landed at Dallas, I waited for the seat belt light to turn green so I could get up and take my luggage. So I was sitting there and strecthing myself when my eyes met with the ang moh beside me. He thought I wanted his pouch and he offerred to me. I said no thanks. It may be harmless but I get the feeling that he thought I have been eyeing at his pouch for a long time. Grrrrrrrr.. makes me feel so ashamed. Sigh.
That reminds me, good general mannerism is prolly the few positive points of being here. But the typical rude Asian typecasting is difficult to avoid. By the way when you said "northern" - is it Penang?
