Wad do you do
when your office is far. damm far from home and the bus, MRT and feeder bus are
all getting on your tits?
You might go get
your bike or car license yes? by passing those means of transport to get to
work.
So
on the 5th of march, I headed to BBDC.
got off at Gombak
mrt station. out, turned right, and walked 10 mins to the centre, stopping half
way for a dump in some coffee shop.
walked in the
main doors. Cool. aircon.))
approached some
person that looked like they worked there. wearing the official cloths that
they officially wear.
“hi there. im
here looking to enroll in lessons for the motor bike`s class 2b?” with raised
eyebrows I asked.
“hm? ni kur yee
ling wai chang mar? war mayo ting how” so speaks the lady.
im like,
wtf? wheres the local? who is this china
guy?
“sorry. could you
tell me where to go, or which counter shall I go to, where by I can enroll
myself in regards to obtaining my motorbike class 2b license?” I said that at
quite a speed. lol. having a laugh.
he looks at me
blankly for a very spilt second. than he just points to the information
counter. no more speech from him. fuk him. u wanna work here, u learn engrish,
er, sorry, english.
got to the
counter. oh hello, a chio bu! “ hi ya. im here to enroll for a bike license.”
“harrow. wolcome
to BBDC ( said very fast ). how is I help u?”
not that I heard
“ hallo. welcome to BBDC ( normal speed ). how may I help you?”
fuk me. this time
a china chick! at lease speaka da engrish. not too bad. we can communicate.
so this chick and
I, we got along fine. she knew wad I was trying to get across. and I understood
her better than the first china man I met. was given a q ticket, than told me I
had to go to the section where u key in all your details.
So now, I think
all test centres are automated. Coms everywhere. Payment of all items, NETS or
card. bookings, coms. cancelation, coms. no need a passbook too! u go to a
lesson, coms. u fail a test or practical, coms, book a new lesson, coms. every
dam thing are done via computers. cool or wad sia?
sat at com number
7. keyed in details. shit like that. did that. went back to wait.
lol. called to
counter 2. dam the same chick that was at the info desk served me.
so time went on.
did the paper work. went to the NETs thinge, paid the relevant bills. went back
to her, got my booklets and that was that. done deal right? that’s wad I
thought.
“ mr chua, u now
can proceed to that room over there, ( I turned and looked) and attend the
compulsory intro briefing session”.
“er. ok. thank
you so much” headed to the room, 4 mins to the briefing. sat and waited.
another person, an indian ( Singaporean ), came in. we waited.
and guess who
walked in?
“haro. welcomes
to BBDC briefing. tun-q for cuming to here to taking your lessuns”.
oh fuk. not
again! every “person” in charge I`ve met since i`ve been here are all china
people. not that I hate them, just, wtf? wheres the locals la? knn. 1st
one I met, cant speak or understand, at lease in english. 2nd one I
met, so so, just about scraped through. now this chap. fuk. from wad I heard so
far, I don’t think I will be able to understand anything!
“veri small klass
this bfin. we fast go through it ok.” took me a while to work that out.
I had a quick
glance at the other person. he looked lost. just like me.
the chinaman
started. he had powerpoint! nice. at lease I hope I wont get too lost.
the next 15 mins.
well, I can say I understood only 30% of wad he said. even when I asked a
question to clarify something because i DID not understand him, I could hardly
understand him. his engrissh was bad. like he rushed learning english in 1 day.
cant pronounce. slanging of words. no diction. no nothing.
the indian and
me, fuking lost. I know I was. double confirm la,I lost sia!
admin I hope they
were. hope they not gonna be my classroom teachers or instructors.
wtf? no one in
Singapore wants jobs or wad? don’t wanna work in, eg, BBDC? wtf? after walking
out that room and looking round the whole area, I think I saw a very high % of
ppl doing admin in there were from china. guess the pinoys don’t want that job!
wads going on? are they here on some kinda work permit? come from china got a
job at BBDC and can get PR after a while? fuk knows.
anyways, the good
thing is, BBDC has a shuttle every 20 mins between the centre and Gombak mrt.
not so bad huh?
here ends my
enrollment day. wad a laugh.
spacy.
