Work life is not very good for me these days. I either get scoldings for nothing in particular at all or for minor things. There was one time when I cried after being scolded, my Manager ask me to go back if I don't wish to learn. It's not that I can't be bother or don't wish to learn. It's natural reaction. He doesn't seems to understand that girls do cry. Or maybe all his entire life he has never seen girls cry before? In the end, I didn't talk to my Manager for the entire day. Some of my colleagues comment that my Manager is being unreasonable and seems to be against me alone. Cara(a new girl in my workplace, whom I later realize she was my Boss's niece!) came to comfort me. She's young, pretty and smart. She's only 2 or 3 years younger than me but she's already studied overseas and has diploma(or is that suppose to be degree? I forgot) in Psychology. She's be getting her results soon and heard that she'll be going to university.
Luckily for me, I had a Christian colleague at work(who is Catholic) and one of the supervisors treats me very nice. She's a Malaysian and her work permit would expire this coming August. I am praying very hard that her work permit would extend. Of all the colleagues there, she is the one I get along with very well. We even hit it off well, right from my 1st day at work(All thanks to Baobei) cos I talk to her about BaoBei and shared with her where in Malaysia BaoBei is from. She said,"Oh really?! Hey! I stayed near that town too!" and would share with me what places are good to visit in Malaysia and what are the foods that are nice over there so that I could try on my next visit. Basically, I could endure at work because of her. I couldn't imagine work life without her around. Anyway, I think most likely company would extend her work permit because she's the most experience worker in my workplace. She has 5 years of experience while the rest are either less than that or they are "new" in the place.
On the way to BaoBei's place yesterday, I decided to take a bus there instead of train. I know it's slower to get there but I enjoy the view from the bus. While the bus stops after Bugis station, a group of passengers board the bus. While the rest got settled down, 2 women fell when the bus applied on a sudden brake near the traffic light! In my mind, I was thinking 2 things: 1) The bus captain is blind!? Can't he see the red light ahead of him?! 2) Two female passengers fell: 1 fell from her seat just right beside the captain while the other, the impact was bigger. She fell backwards and she tried to grab the pole but her hand slips off, and her head landed on the ground in such an impact that shock all of the passengers who were on board. The old lady beside me then offer her seat to the lady who fell on her head(although the lady was younger) I ask if her head was alright and if she had any giddiness? The girl was not a Singaporean but I couldn't make out where she's from through her accent. I am very furious throughout the rest of the journey to BaoBei's place that part of me feel like confronting the driver! I take down of the Bus licence number and went to ask for the driver's name. The driver gave me a "bo chup" attitude! I always thought bus captains would ensure the passenger's safety first but after this incident, I don't think so. Maybe to him, it's just his rice and bowl but to me, it's the passenger's safety and life comes first!
I have since lodge a report through the bus website with BaoBei's help. But I didn't manage to get the ladies' number cos she don't wish to pursue the matter. Couldn't sleep for the rest of the night but I don't know why. Eye bags and dark circles are getting more and more obvious but there's nothing I could do.
