tumultuous week.
this week can only be summed up in this word.
1. i can't recall all the details of this week except that everything that happened resulted in me making 2 trips to the police station and 1 to the subcourts. And after being a persistent teenage bitch (read it from the helpdesk dude's face) and not getting anything out of the help centre, the dude actually asked me if i'm gonna study law. got me thinking persistent bitch is similar to lawyer?
i think i learnt a lot over this week about the hardships of life. esp one where working constitutes selling labour rather than a skill. had to take over cashiering duties and even clearing and washing up duties as my mum finished an op and was shortstaffed for many complicated reasons. Couldn't get the world f***ing bitch out of my mouth for a good 3 days and still have to resist using the word at the mention of a certain effing tenant. this week's event confirmed my lawyerly ambitions and that i couldn't have studied anything else other than law. i felt completely helpless about not knowing anything about the law and i wished i could have done something, anything to mitigate the situation.
2. no wonder why the adult's world is complicated. doing business isn't as straightforward as expected. and often we're caught in a situation where we're helpless. i hate that feeling. i hate it that the law has loopholes and that we can't get past these things without incurring extra expenses. and even if we sue under a civil court case, enforcement of any order is also difficult. esp when the OP is a penniless idiot. or a pair of.
3. difference between police station and yamen of the ancient chinese dramas. in the yamen you only have to beat the drums and miraculously the judge appears before you before you even have the time to shout "冤枉啊大人". here in sengkang npc and like any other police station you need to take a queue number and classify your case. it's like 大人telling you "请按伸冤的button". -.- of course i know it's necessary--citizens like us just love to call the police to intervene in the slightest matters--but i'm just frustrated that at the moment when you need ppl to listen to you the most they're unavailable and you sit there under the frigging aircon and their pledge to serve you in 15 min and feel completely helpless.
4. mother's day event at my yec--made me feel sad at the state of how apolitical bodies like grassroots actually involve a fair deal of politics.
grahh all in all i'm glad this week has passed. 3 trainings per week for taekwondo. that ought to get me up to cambridge taekwondo standard.
