Okey first thing first I know what you going to say and I know that i haven’t write a post for so long and that the reason that I writing now because I haven’t write for so long. Many thing happen since the last time I wrote on Chapter 19… Thing like working at Malaysia, my grandmother death, Working under my cousin as a photographer, recent stupid thing I have done, haven’t done, yet to be done, wish to be done and in the process of doing it… It will be a long post from the data I am thinking in my mind that why i wrote too much word in my composition in my O’s level examination…
Okey let talk about helping my mother and father in the family business and i mean “family business” that involve my uncle and aunt to my uncle in law and aunt in law will soon to be… Side track, all this topic they all are really link together as you read you will know what I am talking about. So I went to Malaysia reluctantly. I got to miss service i got to loss touch with my friends, I am in a land where Malay is the language of choice, no Singapore signature dishes. At-least I get to be paid. It was relaxing sometime when there is no customer but there is it start to be busy. When at ease i can lay on the lay chair and sleep the day off until there’s customer pouring in. When it reaching their New Year people start to overload the place really overloaded. And my job is to make sure that the stock are replenish and being the guy at the cash register collecting money and not knowing what the hell are they talking about and the only word I know is thank you in Malay, being a dumb-ass at the cashier counter. One thing I really enjoy is the food over there that the one thing I dun miss in Singapore, the food is superb and the Malay food is heavenly, their prata for example there is many layer in one prata that is hard to find it in Singapore, try their Nasi Kampong that is out of the world, you got to try it yourself to experience the true greatness. One thing that I will never forget is the KFC there, there is fried chicken with rice. Do you agree that it is very weird? And it is serve with a plate! After the next day my uncle, father and I went and have a game of snooker till very late and there is only billiard table no pool table I was disappointed when I first step into the room fill with smoke and air-con the mix of both if you know what I mean.
The next day was a really bad day I wish I will never happen. My gran mother pass away. and I received the news when I was still in bed and i jump up out of shock. There a uncomfortable silence fill the room nobody dare to break the silence. Reach back to Singapore had lunch with my cousin, uncle and aunt, after that we went back home with my cousin. After a few moment my cousin left and the next day my whole family when to toa payoh to see my gran mother. After all the ritual and all, they left and head to Malaysia. Only I, my brother and father are staying back. The Next day we when into Malaysia during the evening and reached there about midnight already. There not really much to do but ritual and folding paper. So I kill my time by folding paper because there really nothing I can do there. So I spent the first night no sleeping and keep on folding paper. The next day my cousin lend me his camera and it was like so totally cool. So I try to get a nice shot of a picture and I manage to get some nice one. Not much to talk and I also want to talk much about it. At the last day we need to walk and send my gran mother off. After that I and my brother when home first along with my cousin and aunt.
So at home the next day and knowing it is the time to see the dentist for fixing my decay tooth and great the dentist found I got another decay tooth. You know who will like to visit a dentist because when you were a child when you visit a dentist will never give you sweet. Well bear with it throughout the treatment 30min felt like 30 years.
So someday my cousin call me up and ask me if I want to learn and work under him as a photographer and I said yes. The next day was my first day at work as a photographer and my job is to take stall from the food center. I and my cousin when all part of Singapore to take picture of food stall. That day we covered two food center and we head out to my cousin sister who is my cousin too. We get there, it is close so my cousin take the time to teach me the program I will be using. It was easy but doing a few hundred of them is hard. The next day I when to his studio and finish up the editing and went out and you know what; to take more picture of food stall at food center. After taking two food center, it was plan to wait for my cousin friend to come out and get the car from my another cousin. But his friend didn’t turn up because he still not out from camp as he got re-service. So that when I was introduce to burn notice, and I am hook and we watch like five episode of burn notice. So I went home to prepare for a long day ahead of me. The next day we got the car so it is easy to travel around Singapore. We met at Eunos and we drive to Bedok and you know what, take more picture of stall. It is non-stop taking photo get in the car and getting lost. So when we shot finish the food center and it is the Editing part and I get to stay at his studio to for the whole night till morning to finish up the editing process. After a short break at the morning we set out again and taking picture of food center. After that It is the same thing edit till the day break. On the way to the studio the next day we were flagging a taxi as it was turning from the corner and it is in stationary and there another car after it, suddenly the taxi accelerate and hit the car. I and my cousin was in shock and we retreat our hand back and laugh at it. No one will witness this accident as you don’t see a car crash their car to another car when it in a stop. It was funny that both of us keep on laughing at it. In the end we ended up taking bus back to the studio. Another round of editing, another time of overnight job to do… Finally it is over and gone to take one more food center and pass back the rented camera back to the owner and i rested at my cousin house for awhile and i take my leave and headed home.
There still some food center that I still need to take but it is not that bad as the three days I work. Than again my life start to be bore again. Until I receive my NS(National Service) letter. And I admitted at the day before Church Youth Camp. So as who I am I am very frustrated about it and keep on complaining about it but nothing is going to happen. I am just disappointed. Well every men in Singapore must go through.
This the few big thing that have happen in my life till now. Now I going to take your hand and lead you into my memory lane to the small and medium thing in my life that have happen.
Gone back to Malaysia one fine Sunday for a Malay wedding and it is a real experience to me. I in love with their food it was really tasty and the drink was really refreshing. After the wedding I and my parent went to the shop to do some admin stuff and later when back to granma house. Durning my visit to my dad shop i take some stuff from the car and my dad car the window spoiled, so the window cannot go up. When i take my stuff i close the door and i hold it than the window start to go up, I was surprise and I told my dad and he is also surprise. The next day at the morning I went to the prata shop to have some really nice prata. Later my dad send his car for repair, to refill the black oil.When it is done we went to have a game of golf at a golf club.
