morning when i say hello , he din even bother to lift his eyes to look at me...
when angmoh comes, he run to them like a puppy, waving his tails...
like the happiest dog in the world.
Encounters like these make me try to think of how a few of my assertive colleagues would react.
I guess if you say 'hello' and he doesn't return the greeting, one of my colleagues would go right up to his table, tap on it, and say something like, "Well, hellooooo there! You might need to get your ears checked because for the past few weeks, you didn't seem to hear me whenever I greet you!"
I love her! She's an Aussie but she's lived in the US for more than 10 years so she's assertive, but very classy.

How can a married man and father ever go away and live 'alone'?
Just teasing you.
I know you love your family but some days, you just wish you can be all alone and not have to worry about anything for a while. I'm pretty carefree now and I'm not even desperate to be in a relationship.
I'm only concerned with saving enough for my course, a car and eventually, my own home. I cannot imagine shouldering the extra burden(s) of supporting a family. Think I support my residents and a few cats and maybe a dog and rabbit and chinchilla and what-not other furry critters can liao! -

It's a bit disgusting... so they think they can save money by making the public clear up their trays after they eat? So what about basic cleanliness like cleaning the table? No one's going to clean up the table after their hands are tied up carrying the tray to be emtpied. I guess they are just profit-making and don't give a damn about hygiene.

wah hebatnya! -
Anyway, i never clear the trays myself. I make sure I don't dirty the table and that's it. As it is I'm already quite pissed about having to queue for my food and yet pay such high prices for self service!. I like sitting down and having my food served to me.

my colleagues are preety nice and generous. even my secretary. sometimes she buys doughnuts for the whole team for tea - in fact she has done it a few times.and my boss contributes like a few hundred $$$ to the food fund whenever my secretary gives us a holler about food running out. no fixed amount for contribution. so in a way, we get to enjoy nice and expensive snacks.
