When relaxed and laidback is just plain lazy!

As an attempt to be rid of Arrow's poor management and after tolerating with them for four years, we've decided to move to Milano only to realize that it's not the "management" problem, it's the attitude problem.

I know kiasuness needs to be taken down a notch or two, but I just can't bear the work ethic in this country!!!!!!!!

!#$%^$%^!$%&$#%^*^&**

Relaxed + laidback = lazy.

Where does this deduction come from?

We were suppose to move in on the 20th, which was on Tuesday. I got a call on Friday morning telling me that there will be a delay because they need to run "safety checks" on the newly-built property and therfore, the move in date had to be changed to 24th which is this coming Saturday. I said ok, these things happen. Can't be helped. HOWEVER, just today, I was informed that they were expecting another delay, till 10th April no less. The thing is, after a long argument, and ONE phone call (according to the man himself), he said it would be ok for me to pick up the keys on Saturday morning and move in.

So why couldn't he have made that call in the first place and prevent this so-called "delay"? It just shows what excuses can do most of the time and also how you can't let people push you around just for the sake of their own laziness!

Maybe it's the pressure from the thesis proposal and the regression assignment on top of GRE and having to move as well, I just completely brokedown. Well, in my bedroom that is, not publically. What the heck you know? It's not like anyone reads this blog.

I told the bloody agent it was not acceptable. Really, it's the first in a long time since I'd exploded like that. I remember in primary school, I'd scream at anyone who pissed me off. When I got to secondary school, I tried to harness my temper and keep conflicts low. Maybe all the years of pent up frustration just erupted in me today. I'm just surprised I didn't claw the man's eyes out. Not even Peter, the incompetent manager of Arrow elicited such a response.

Have I really learned how to control my temper? Do I really know how to handle stress any better than I did three years ago?

Maybe I'm just deluded. I'd said I learnt a lot last year, but at times like these I felt as if all that I've acquired is false. I should be able to deal with this in a calm manner right?

Apparently not.

I thought I was past worrying. But I guess it's in my nature. Now I can't settle my mind till I really get the keys on Saturday morning. Oh help.. my head is about to burst.....
