that witch!


you know what really infuriates me?

there is a *%&$#@! bitch (yes man, forget about the ladylike image. you just have to call a spade as it is) out there who is going around on her own self-righteous way and is moving on with her daily life whilst some people are waiting for her to pay up for services rendered (hey, you guys out there with alternative images of services rendered popping up immediately in your heads, it's not those type, ok? so, squish those visuals in your head and listen to the story quietly)

this elderly woman in in her 60s is soft-spoken and appears as a devoted grandmother to everybody's eyes. beware! whilst i don't want to jump to the conclusion that underneath she is a scheming, conniving, cheating bitch, she appears to portray that very well on her own. ok, let me tell the tale and you guys can judge for yourself.

my friend, x (he's going to kill me when he reads this!) rendered some services to this woman (hey guys! quit those x-rated images already!), whom we shall call mrs a (as far away from him in the alphabet as possible). as far as i know, x is a person who is really devoted to his work and always give his very best. so, after all has been said and done, mrs a does a disappearing act. david copperfield would have been proud of her! despite numerous phone calls and text messages, she refuses to respond, giving some cock and bull story about paying only when she receives settlement from elsewhere (something that is totally irrelevant to his services).

meanwhile, x is faced with demands for payments from creditors for the same services rendered to mrs a. caught in between, x offers mrs a staggered payments and alternative arrangements. x is open to anything, as long as mrs a is willing to come out from the hiding (damn! she's better than saddam hussein!) and discuss about it. but does she give any reply to that? noooooo! she has apparently sewn her mouth shut.

this is where my blood bubbles a little; not quite to the point of boiling but getting there. he's a decent chap, looking for an honest living and working his butt off (eh! not reference to the type of services rendered, ok??!!) and behaving in the most gentlemanly manner as he always have and this woman totally abused it. perhaps he was a little naive in not asking for progressive payments along the way but it only goes to show how trusting his nature is. and damn it, she was supposed to be a friend of the family. it is people like that who spoil our belief in the goodness of the human nature.

mrs a just could not bother to entertain poor x. attempts to see her were fielded by the maid (ya lah, they still have the services of a maid and live in a posh area but cannot afford to pay up. sigh!) so, after weeks of futile efforts, he goes up to her office to look for her / her sons. lo and behold! they were not around (wah! what a surprise! probably was sneeking out quietly through the back entrance). so, x told the secretary that mrs a & family owed him for the services and has been unable to locate her. if possible, could she please inform them. pretty normal, right? well, it appears that this is a big no no in her books. that set her off! she texted back and scolded him for being immature and not doing the right thing. erm......you mean, not paying is the correct thing and telling others about that fact is not???!!! where did this woman go to school? oops, i was wrong to presume that she is educated at all.

she had the nerves to turn the table and call him uneducated! he is behaving in a way more civilised way than that monkey. he replied decently but pointing out that she did not reply to his attempts to contact her. aiyoh! that set off another time bomb! she gave so many excuses, all the while calling him more and harsher names! my dear mrs a, if i can talk to you, i will let you know that x is being more decent than i would have been if i were in his shoes.i would have probably sold the debt to those debt collection agency (you know, the types with very big ear holes). x is the one of the nicest and sweetest person i know (damn cute too by the way. sorry girls, stop drooling, he's already taken). sigh! if his being young is the only reason he misjudged your character, then he should have got prescription glasses to see you for the witch that you are. how can you justify what you do and at the same time insult people. after further texts insulting him, which i won't bother to repeat here, she actually called! she probably took in a deep breath before she started, because she went on and on and on and on, without giving him a chance to say anything. she ended it by calling him a bastard and slammed down the phone. at this point, my blood boiled.

putting x aside for the moment, there is the matter of the other creditors too. hey, these people need to eat and feed their families. do you think that your 1 project will not cause them much harm? you know that for a fact because......you are God? you interviewed all of those to whom you are owing and their family members? what? what is the point of not paying up? do you get a speciall thrill that makes you tingle inside, knowing that you have denied hardworking individuals of their right to their claims. are you presently basking in the middle of the satisfaction created from the services rendered, knowing that you got all those for free? do you give a little laugh in the middle of your sleep knowing that you have put one over them? look in your soul and justify your actions. all those crap about services incompetent and exorbitant prices, you know damn well they are just excuses. i'm sure all prices were discussed prior to commencement and i know for a fact about their quality of services. as for the imcompleteness, do you really expect x to complete the minor insignificant loose ends now that he knows getting payments from you is next to impossible. you must really take him for an idiot. the amazing thing about all this is i believe she has really convinced herself that she is in the right.

the reason i had to write this is because each time i think of her, i just get so angry. but since taking her out and skinning her alive is not an option, i can only write about it here. yes, yes, none of my damn business. but nice people should not be taken advantage of.

so, if there are any bad paymasters among you people out there, please think of feelings other than your own. if mrs a resembles someone you know, please tell her she is a witch and give her a good kick in the behind for me.

Simple solution, just ask your friend to text her saying that he will be engaging some 'professional' debts collector similar to that of the tai yee long.
Then see whether she pays up or not. If she still don't,then get those guys to paste IOU memo all over her area.

when i say x is a really nice guy, i mean it. he will never do anything like that, it's just not his character. good guys always lose.

I assume the sum is significant. If yes, and since he's such a nice guy, then go report to mata. That is of course if there was a contract to begin with. If not, then... ai...
