Wasted

We went to the IT Fair. It was a disaster.

There was a congestion on the way up to Suntec City. There were arguments between my mother and elder brother. I don't understand why my mother is so sceptical about stuff. Why can't she believe in what we say? Why can't she believe that the offers in these fairs/exhibitons are real? I simply can't understand why.

First we went to the Singtel booth to ask about the Mio plan. We had wanted to sign up for it long ago(my brother works as a temp staff at Singtel) but somehow, because of my mother don't-want-broadband-cause-it-will-harm-the-kids attitude, we didn't get it. After several rounds of persuasion I finally suceeded into getting her to sign up for the plan. But, Alas! The queue was so damn long. And the offers aren't very attractive too. So might as well just go to any Hello! Shop and do the stuff.

The laptop i wanted from Vaio was out of stock. What the fuck. So I asked around a bit. But seriously i am only interested in that particular model. Then we had to squeeze through the crowd to get my mom, who went off to park the car. What the hell. So troublesome. Can't see her anywhere at all. After screaming into the phone we finally saw her.

I'm so disappointed. Why aren't there any more stock? So we went to the Lenovo booth, HP, blah blah, but we didn't really look at the laptops. Just merely walked around. My mother was whinning about something that i shouldn't buy a laptop here cause it's not safe or it may be a scam. And blah blah blah about the throngs of people. It's so infuriating. I was so damn pissed off.

I actually wanted to go back to the Vaio booth to ask about the model i was interested in, to see if it fits what i want, so that i could get it at other Vaio outlets. But the crowd and my mother's nagging was so pissing me off that i went out of the exhibition hall.

Going down the escalator I told my mother to stop being sceptical and that going out with her is a chore. My mother said that it was me who didn't want to go and ask about the model i wanted. I replied by saying that she is so annoying saying all those crap. I really was too irritated to go back to the booth.

Down at the atrium my brother asked me what was next. I complained that I haven't got anything at all. No laptop, whatsoever. Then I forgot what happened, but i remember i mentioned something about my mother nagging me not to buy laptop from the IT fair. My mother asked me to go up and take a look but I was too angry and fed up to go up to the 4th floor again.

So we got off and didn't get anything done at all. No laptop, no signing up for mio plan. What a waste of time and energy.

I am feeling so frustrated and upset right now. Not going to work later. MC, what the bloody hell. I sacrificed my time such that I must work from 9am-10pm on the 16th(stock take: taking "attendance" of all the goods in the shop) and now i get this.

I intend to quit. Without breaking my contract. Maybe I'll go on MC everday. This job sucks.
