A post about Aliens

They are so called foreign talents but I think we can do better without them.

I had been having this ache just slightly beneath my left jaw since saturday. The pain aggravates when I tilt my head towards a certain direction and when I swallow my saliva. Any slight movement of my face would send a nagging ache across my left cheek up to my left ear. It felt like a mega toothache but my gums and teeth were fine. Went to the panel clinic doctor and yes, Healthway at Hg Mall is just hopeless... actually any healthway. They just give you the same old type of medication over and over again which doesn't work and in best case scenarios, take very long to work. They will give you a pack of useless medication and MC.

Harlo... not everyone is there to geng MC from you k. We are really sick! sometimes.

Yup, so I went to the chinese medicinal shop near my place hoping to get some good advice for liang teh from the shop uncle who is also the owner. He was not in and I was greeted by a foreign talent who simply couldn't be bothered with what ailments I had and not interested in listening to me. She just brushed me off to buy the bottled liang teh and insisted that it was good enough in her irritating accent.

The powdered one better right? I want something stronger and more effective coz.....  No, no need powder, if you buy the bottled one no need powder already k.  okay?

I reluctantly forked out 5 bucks for it and when I drank it, it tasted so sweet and so mild.

Compared to the local uncle who cleared my plate at the kopitiam, who politely asked me if I still wanted my food, they are worlds apart.

Babu calls them MICkey mouse. I like how subtle it sounds. They are here to just earn our money, provide lousy service, jam up our transport and use up our resources.

Not until they feel a sense of identity in our country will they start serving us like they should, like a local. But I am also not looking forward to that day which means that these aliens would have successfully invaded into our sunny island. BRRRR.

I am seriously stereotyping here. There are some kind aliens. Just that you really have to squint and find.
