This afternoon, went to collect MILK Run goodie pack and my number tag is 10071. I thought it's $15 i had to pay for instead of $20. I should not complaint la hor.. since it's for charity fund- "to keep the kids in school and out of trouble!" .. make sure ah!
Yesterday, i accompanied kev's mum and granny to KKH for granny's hearing checkup. As usual, waited almost 1hr before we were called into the dr's room. So meantime, did nothing but read newpapers and observed how stupid some parents can be when handling their babies and toddlers..
And so, granny's name was called and 3 of us went in. Spending like 10 secs standing in front of the doc, he like never noticed me! He kept talking ..on and on. in mandarin to my inlaws.. i actually called him.. "hi doctor.. so what ..is all about?" But he chose to ignored me! OMG.. it was like deja vu.. didn't believe that it was happening again. He might have thought that i am their maid!
Then suddenly, all got up and ready to leave the room.. before the nurse asst shut the door, i turned around and told her that, i would appreciate if the doc can talk to me.. cos i need to know what's happening or what not.. pertaining to my granny's hearing problem.. and i am no one else, but their in-law! Do u think i was their maid! She was shocked and apologised.
Think i really look like a filipina maid.. especially right now that i am very tanned after swimming and sun bathing at sentosa last weekend.. and whatmore, i dressed very casually, t-shirt and jeans.. carrying extra bags for my in-laws..very like maid like that.
Long time ago, i was already been mistaken for being a maid, and i actually didn't really mind cos, those people like sales persons, taxi drivers, aunties .. did not ignore me.. however, this time round, i am totally pissed by how professionals .. nurses, doctor and bank officers, didn't even care to acknowledge me, they were like looked down on me.. or should i say .. foreign maids..
the clock strikes midnight... as the dream slips through your head... this is no dress rehearsal... there is no second chance...
