[Quitting or not / tired / fetching guest]

Its been in ringing in my head like a incessant hum. Sometimes it gets louder sometimes it will just be covered by work or by sheer letharginess

This ringing is the ring for me to quit my current job or not. Its not that I do not like my current job. In fact it has been interesting as I travelled to various nice hotels (and not) in Singapore. Best of all, I have learnt new stuff, new Japanese words,had lunch at a fancy Italian restaurant in Fullerton. The main problem at work now is communicating in Japanese with my Jpn manager.

He perpertually have a stressed look and a tulan look on his face everytime I asked him some qns. I know my speaking and listening in Jpn sux. I already told him that during the interview. Also I do not understand how business Jpn is like. I hardly remember keigo (honorific form).I have not worked for a Jpn firm or worked with Jpn before.

AND I am not from a tourism background, I am pretty amazed of myself as during my short stay of 4 months, I have learnt how to make reservations, read some funny abbreviations, arrange tours,translate English schedules to Jpn, arrange restaurants for guests, arrange tour guides, arrange buses for tours.

Its weird how Jpn work or rather how the language works. Jpn is not an easy language to master. Its is so complicated. 日本語ってさすごくややこしいことばなんだ。There are soooooooooo many types of forms, sentence structures etc etc.

*shrugs*

This evening I was told by my manager to go to Changi Airport to fetch one Jpn tourist. He said its for me to "study". But i was with a guide lah..this lady guide's Jpn is amazing. She had 20 yrs of working with Jpn tourists. -_-||| This Jpn is from Osaka, so I thought he might be speaking the Osaka ben.hahahahaha. He turned out to be quite a nice jiji, can joke,laugh and chat with.

Some Jpn are quite a pain in the ass. Some insist on drinking Evian mineral water only even when it costed them S$12.00 per bottle. wtf? S$12.00!!!!! drink my urine wan or not? There are some who commented on a $200+++ piece of steak that is not even fit to be fed to his pet dog.His dog dun eat normal steak, the steak mst be from a certain portion of a young calf which mst not be older than a certain age and mst from a certain breed,fed with certain cow feed. If a pet dog eats a S$500++ steak, then what do its master eat? Canned dog food?

There are some Jpn, mostly the older generation who feels they are superior to other Asians. pls loh, ur economy is a slum down, superior simi lanjiao?

ahahahaha
