Do good, no use

I have always had this principle: It doesn't pay to do good. In short: Do good, no use. I am not evil, I speak from experience and incidents have made me bitter.

Recent incidents:
1. Going to The Curve
I asked if they wanna go to The Curve, since they haven’t been out for some time as well. We circled the carpark for some time, it was really one of the worst days. I took a turn and found that I had to go up to the next floor. Now, I cannot afford to stop my car on ramps/slopes. That ramp was freaking steep and the cars were queuing on it. And my car’s clutch is already high. To move the car, the clutch has to be raised to half of the full length and step on a lot of fuel of course. Even to move on a flat road, I have to step on a lot of fuel.

Cars built up behind me. And beside me. The guard was waving me to go up. I gestured asking him to wait since the cars on the ramp have not cleared anyway. He keeps gesturing and the other drivers must be staring. From front and back. I mean, there is no point queuing on the slope right? I might as well wait at the bottom of the ramp. There is no way I can decide not to back out. When the cars look that they have gone up the ramp, I throttle and force the car up. Just going up the ramp is a task itself. Thank God that the car ahead decided to move as soon I reached the top. My legs were shaking. In this state, if I had to stop, there is no way I can bring the car back up without it sliding backwards.

And during all these, the woman beside me said that I am stupid for not parking near the loading bay. She said that there is a lot of parking near the loading bay when I realised I had to go up the ramp. Mind you, we had been circling for like 20 minutes. Choose the time when I was just about the experience the worst-ramp moment. WTF is the loading bay in the first place? All I know is that there is a pick-up area at Ikea. And if there is a lot of parking in the loading bay, why was everyone circling the place? I was surprised to see the congestion starting from near the Surian tunnel itself.

Why did I be a kaypo? Stay at home, save money and save a lot of trouble too.

2. Eating out
Yes, almost eating out session is problematic. They always go to the hawker stalls. So, if I am around, I will want to bring them somewhere else. My brother likes to ask for suggestions on what to eat; he can’t think for himself what is there in Bukit Tinggi. Then, he mentioned Old Town Kopitiam since he doesn't know what to eat, although my mother complains about it all the time. So since she complains, I suggested Garden Kopitiam and pointed to it, but she was grumbling that the chicken is so small. Grumble grumble grumble grumble. So I took them Old Town Kopitiam. And then she still grumble about the small chicken. Turns out that all the grumble was referring to Old Town Kopitiam from the start. Well, I pointed to Garden.

I brought her to Bee’s cos they have a new menu, and she said that the food is like shit.

Why did I be a kaypo? Save money and save trouble.

3. Free tuition for bro
I asked Mr Tay if my bro can sit in since I am teaching a Form 5 boy as well. It’s not easy asking something free from someone. Not one, but 3 classes. Mr Tay said that he might need to reduce the rate as he can’t charge the students 1-to-1 rates now. I said it’s ok.

But the boy’s attendance is irregular and class was occasionally cancelled. And the shouting starts: “No need to go already la!!” You think I want that? I don't get income if the class is cancelled. When Mr Tay changed the timing to 6pm-8pm for just one particular day, she made noise cos the time isn't convenient for my bro to have dinner. Aww.. Then, what about me having my dinner after class everyday at 9.30pm or 10pm? When Mr Tay changes the schedule, also make noise.

A. The boy who is paying didn’t even make noise. Ok, he might but he has every right to since he is the only one paying in my class of 3.
B. My bro is very well the ‘tumpanging’ one. Mr Tay is already very kind to let him sit in. He didn’t deduct my pay and if the parents find out that they are paying for 1-to-1 when it isn't, there could be trouble.
C. My bro doesn't even come regularly for every class!

Why did I be a kaypo? Save trouble.

Edit: I asked bro if he wants some sushi, also wanna talk behind my back. Sien la!!! Why did I be a 'kind' kaypo again?
