No, I'm Not A Pushover.

You see, at first, I'm pretty cool and calm about you people moving in. The idea to charge a relatively low rate of RM240 to a room with air cond in the heart of town is okay with me. But trying to push your luck by stepping onto my toe OVER and OVER again doesn't work well with me.

It first started with two Chinese girls from the A/C room wanted out, so I'll have to hand back their share of the deposit and revise a new room rate for the remaining two who were sharing the rooms with them. I tried settling with a RM180 per month but NOOOOO.......

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

You just HAVE to argue for a lower price. I gave you the better end and asked what you propose. You wanted a RM150. Okay, good, fine! RM150 it is. Even if I have to cope with a monthly deficit of RM20 which I'm still able to handle.

To quote your line that you SO throw into my face,

"I believe you must be earning a lot. Nobody does a losing end business. You should earn less by charging us lower. You still need us around right?"

Is that a threat or what, I don't know, but one thing I know for sure, I'm at the losing end in this bid cause if they move out entirely I'm going to have an even BIGGER deficit, so FINE bitches, you win this time even if I have to suck up to my deficit!

And to add insult to injury, it's as if it was a planned joke, the Chinese dude who was renting the medium room from me at RM120 a month wanted out as well by the end of December and was demanding his deposit, hence I HAVE to fork out my money to pay him back. FINE!

Since the words have been uttered directly from the horse's mouth, I have no choice but to scout for new tenants, hence I posted my advert on an online page. But lady luck must be on my side as I have an influx of people wanted to rent rooms from me.Three Malay guys wants to rent my medium room for RM240 (That's RM180 + RM30 + RM30 for two extra tenants in a room), and since the dude from the medium room's gonna leave soon, I told these Malay tenants that they can temporarily move into the small room now, I won't mind and once the medium room tenant moves out, in they go. All is cool and the deposit and monthly rent for January is cashed in.

As a standard procedure, I informed these girls about the new tenants but the response was not as satisfying. These racist buggers went and I quote,

"Haaaa? You want to rent to Malay people? Safe or not? Later they come upstairs and rape me how?"

Please-lah bitch, your face makes the dudes' libido drop right into the core of the Earth okay? You think they will even bother to look at you?

But nonetheless, I've made up my mind as I've to tie up the loose ends for my rent as lord tenant and so the deal is sealed.

And, as if my luck hasn't run out, another two more calls for tenancies came to me. A Chinese lady who wants a room for her nephew and two Malay guys who wants to move in as well. The Chinese lady could settle for the smaller room while the two Malay guys can settle for the larger room which is located right next to the Chinese girls.

But here's the best part. The Chinese dude suddenly sms me, telling me there has been a slight change of plans to him moving out, so he wants to continue renting. I told him that I'm sorry, he has already took his deposit back and in fact, I AM going to lease his room out. And since this is a last minute request, I can't give the room back to you. But he continued and asked me if he could have the large room. To this, I didn't give him the reply on my SMS as I was too busy to think about my lfie than to worry about theirs.

And as standard procedure once again, I informed the girls about the new tenants again. Once again, there was a verbal protest to the two new Malay tenants. And I quote again, this time, a dialogue between me and her,

Girl : What the fuck weh? How can you rent out to more Malay people again?
Me : Erm, yes I can.
Girl : No lah, but why Malay people? Very difficult one you know?
Me : I think I reserve all rights to lease out my rooms to whomever I want. Is there a problem?
Girl : How can you do this to us?
Me : Do what?
Girl : You rent out to them, we are in danger you know?
Me : What danger?
Girl : We girls will be in danger lah from them.
Me : If you feel that you're in danger, stay in your room and lock you doors all time. And before doing so, please clear those clothes of yours occupying my empty room, thanks.
Girl : Eh, don't like that lah... How about this, the Chinese dude who wants to stay right? You let him stay at the large room, then you charge him the same price as before lah.
Me : Erm, sorry, no. He took back his deposit and if he wants a new and different room, means new rates and new deposits. Simple as that. (In my heart, "Fuck you lah bitches. Large room for the price of medium room? Who taught you maths??")
Girl : If that is the case, if you rent out to the Malay guys, we will move out.
Me : Who is this "we" you speak of?
Girl : Four of us.
Me : And that would be you and?
Girl : Me, my room mate, the Chinese guy (so I see, you guys HAVE already ganked up one me!) and another friend of mine who is moving in.
Me : Dear girl, I've already heard about your "My friend wants to move in" line like ten million times already. It's been five months continuously with no actions, so why should I even bother this time?
Girl : Wah lau weh, so you don't want to rent out to us Chinese lah? Rather help the Malays lah? You scared we all run away meh? We got give deposit and we pay on time (Fuck you lah pay on time. You delay a month already okay? December rent also not yet give.)
Me : Nothing about helping Malay or Chinese. But if they can offer me higher than what YOU argued for last time, I think you are in no rights to tell me what to do.
Girl : Okay lah, fine, you want RM240 for the large room right? We take it. RM480 with deposit right?
Me : IF and ONLY IF you can fork out another 2 months deposit, as usual. That would total to RM720 which my new tenant is going to bank in to me tomorrow. Can you top that?
Girl : What the fuck? RM480 lah, you scared we all run off meh? We are Chinese people leh! (Honestly I am. And what has this got to do with being Chinese or Malay?)
Me :RM720. Top that, and perhaps I'll consider. Plus, till when will you and your friends want to stay? (Oh god, I LOVE that feeling when I was on the winning side.)
Girl : Until end of March.
Me : Okay, you know what, my new tenant is looking at long term and looking forward to you moving out so that HE can occupy your air conditioned room and pay me almost double as much as what you bargained. My new tenant is going to come to the house to see the room later, so please clean up the room before we arrive. Just a reminder that I go by a first come first serve basis. When I was having a hard time trying to cope with the extra deficit, were you guys there to help me out? No, you took a bite out of me and wanted an even lower rent. And to quote what you said to me before "Nobody does a losing end business." so this room goes to the highest bidder by the end of this month too. (I'm so LOVING the moment when I rubbed that IN HER FACE!!!)

And that's the end of our conversation.

My tenant arrived later in the evening and took a glimpse of the house and was satisfied (Of course, yours truly here has cleaned the damn house before they arrived cause the girls eventually didn't even clean up the place.) and inquired about the rent, collecting date, utilities, bank account number and etc. And this was when the fun started ALL OVER AGAIN. I got a text from the Chinese girl (In a desperate measure on her half) saying that they have already found a tenant for me and is willing to pay RM240 per month, but still no news about the agreed deposit. I never agreed nor even reply the message to begin with. I've quite made up my mind that if these Malay dudes can hand in the money to me by tomorrow, I'm letting them move in without any objection. The purpose, to drive these girls out, so that I can lease the most valuable room to the new tenants at a higher rate and then keep the large room empty for myself. SO MUCH WIN for one night!

That's all for tonight, thatnks for reading! =)

This is the reply he has got.

Trying out something new this Christmas.

So here I am, sitting at my kitchen with my cup of coffee and enjoying this new year wind that has been blowing lovingly at my face. Now, the thing about Christmas this year, I haven't really been much into the whole Christmas mood this year, partly cause the lack of work being offered during Christmas and there's been too many ups and downs this month itself, giving me too many to bother about than to rest beliefs at the fat old man in red.

Anywho, yesterday was pretty fun for a countdown. Elton and I went to Portuguese Settlement and got ourselves these as our very own Christmas gift.

Le me derp face and zee foxxie spirit hood

Our very first spirit hood, albeit not as classy and great as the original but it's cute enough, so who cares? :D

It's really cheap per se, and we actually got it by chance. We were loafing around behind the booth without actually noticing what they were selling until when we decide to hunt for food, that was when we got a real good glance at the shop around there. Then it was also by chance we met my friend who was working at that booth, helping the lady boss to sell these stuff. After some negotiation (haggling) we've finally come to terms that the hoodie is to be purchased at RM13 a-piece, so I got two of them! A brown fox for myself and an arctic fox for Elton as a Christmas gift.

So instead of the conforming Santa Hat, we got ourselves these instead. :3

Apart from that, we also got ourselves these!

Kong Ming Lanterns!!!

Yes, those were the exact lantern that we lighted up that night. Kong Ming lantern is traditionally used by the Chinese to make a wish and send it to the heaven so that the gods may hear/read as some may write their wish upon the lantern and hence the gods will grant them. The higher your lantern flies, the sooner your wish will come true. And then, of course, there are some of the tragic wishes that never came true. The ones that burn midway up in the air, or those that failed to fly. Sadly I've no opportunity to snap those that didn't work or were ended up in a blaze. It was sad, but hilarious at the same time. And then, there were a bunch of Indians trying to light these lanterns. The fun part about these Indians, instead of waiting for the balloon to heat up and fly (It's a damn hot air balloon you moron!!) they lighted the firestarter beneath the lantern and when they felt just about right, yanked and tossed the lantern into the air. I watched the poor lantern being dramatically tossed into the air, fall onto the ground and burn into ashes, thanks to those machas. It was really comical and relatively stupid of them. XD

Anywho, I wished for the few usual stuff. Money, love and peace. (Hey, I'm a Chinese, sue me!)

And of course, here's to wishing all of you readers a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. =)
