Sorry for the double post but i'd like to share some humour with you.
You know how Singaporeans can be so weird and bizarre sometimes. Beneath their prim and proper exterior is an undiscovered talent for humour. Like honestly, they are funny without even trying. This talent can only be fished from the FEEDBACKS they write.
If i were a scout, i'd easily pick a handful from 20 feedbacks i read here.
Here's one classic example:
(Of cus, it's only ethical that i don't mention the member's name just in case he writes to some newspaper flaming me (like what he threatens below). It'll only inconvenience the editor cus of his very impressive command of English. On deeper thought, i think he was too pissed to write proper english.)
"I came to the club at about 11am alone for 1 ball to register, the counter girl told me there's no flight so i went to the range. As i was on my way to nearby toilet to get some drinks (what?! he gets drinks from the toilet?!! really don't wana know what he drinks in there) I saw a flight of 3 balls on 1209pm (i thought that's some kind of 4D number until i saw the 'pm' behind. LOL) going to the course. SO i went over to the counter which was another counter girl there (totally lost his command of english to his emotions) she does not know anything about the matter. My name and tel no. was given on the time of my registration so i just wanted to know is there are any favourites to golfer or is the counter have the power not to have the member to join in the flight or the status of my membership are not (Verbal diarrheoa here) enough to play golf (tsk tsk, totally sour). Does the member have the power of rights not to let the join in guest to play? (uh-HUH!) If your club is not going to respone (too angry he can't spell) to me in one week's time I will not wait and go to newspaper that there are overpower among the club rules (don't understand his train of thought, whatsoever)."
Oh and he still owes the Club a thousand bucks in golfing. Mister, we have better reasons to keep you off the greens :)
But he's not number one.
Number 1 on my list should be awarded to the MOST PERSISTENT AND RESILIENT COMPLAINER EVER who CANNOT STOP WRITING IN about the missing "entertainment" section of the ZAO BAO. He writes in every other day, to the CHAIRMAN though i'm very sure there's no such position in the Club, and keeps pestering us to notify him of the progress of investigation.
All that for a pathetic entertainment portion of Zao Bao that he can't seem to afford himself. I think it's affecting him so bad that he may be suffering from insomnia or loss of apetite over deprivation of celebrity gossips specifically from his favourite piece of newspaper.
This uncle... seriously, has nothing better to do.
However, on the better side of the planet, there are actually appreciative people who takes time and effort to sing praises for the deserving lot.
Sometimes i really wonder...even if i truly am grateful for the good service i recieve, will i be motivated to pen them down on a feedback form voluntarily? I don't think so. And i'm not very proud of that. This is an unpleasant part of me that i'd wana change. It's just like how i love to recieve praises and good words from others...the best part is, it doesn't hurt to do so. In fact, i think both sides feel good. We really shouldn't be too selfish with praises. let's all be generous :)
It's a tit-for-a-tat world...and it's the same for everyone and everything.
As for those morons.... i'll forgive them cus they are my source of entertainment. haha.
