no tengo suerte!
no tengo suerte - i have no luck.
yeah been unlucky these days. first, suzi's laptop was damaged the night before she returned to valencia. so, i lent her mine and sent hers for repairs. when it got repaired, its cd-rom drive was damaged by the toshiba peeps. sent it back and went to spain to see her and return her the laptop. i got mine back only to find out my ethernet port stopped working. so, i didn't have stable internet. had to spend 15 quid on an ethernet card. on the way to pcworld, i was stopped by an italian in a car who thought i was italian. wtf. he asked if i wanted to purchase his 4 armani suits that he received from some harrods fashion show. as if. he thought i was stupid and easy to con. so, i told him he was crazy and asked him to sod off. and so he did.
still, i got conned eventually. not by the italian. but by an asian guy at the tube station. no, he wasn't hanging about, trying to sell his used travel card. instead, he was a tube worker. a dude at the ticket counter. i was trying to purchase 2 day travel cards for my friends from newcastle. being oyster-fied, i didn't know they stopped selling carnets (a set of 10 single tickets for a reduced price). so, i asked the asian if i could have 2 tickets for my mates. he gave me one. i returned my change to him and said i wanted 2. he took my money and failed to give me the right change.
being a trusting person (or somehow unaware and stupid), i didn't realise he gave me 10 pounds less than my actual change. not until i went past the ticket gantry. shit! i exclaimed before going back to the guy. by then, he was not at his counter, putting away his hardearned 10 quid. i waited for his return.
"excuse me, i think you gave me the wrong change earlier." (not implying he cheated my money)
"i always give the right change. i gave you the right change. i can't be wrong."
"but i'm sure i was short-changed. i gave you 20 pounds and you returned me only 20p for 2 day travel cards."
"i always give the right change! you don't come back and fucking tell me i gave you the wrong change! it was right when i gave it to you!"
"ok, calm down mate. but i think you're trying to cheat me." (pissed off that he was so damn rude, and now i'm quite sure he tried to cheat me, that piece of crap)
"you don't fucking tell me i cheated you. it's too late. if it was wrong, you should have said. i gave you the right change. even if it's wrong, it's too late. don't fucking tell me i cheated you."
i left before i got really pissed. that nbcb is a bastard really. i'm damn sure he took the money. i'm just sure. the look in his eyes. the way he replied me when i first suggested that he gave me the wrong change. so, great, i gave 10 pounds to the bastard.
on a better note, i had a lot of fun with suzi at valencia on chinese new year day, eating loads of chinky food. and yesterday, i had a great time with shangyuan and nicky. kai really helped me in entertaining and hosting those two from newcastle. and thanks to mary and zhewei, we all got to eat yusheng. also, i must say that i'm a lucky omen for man united. on the 3 occasions i watched them live at old trafford, they won. bolton 4-1, liverpool 1-0 and blackburn 2-1 (carling cup semi. and ronaldo, pique, park and solskjaer came within my licking distance on that occasion. they were all in the stands, not playing). in between those games, they drew a couple of times and lost to blackburn once.
yes yes. i must really put up some pictures especially the one of gary neville and his well-groomed moustache. haha. i will. in due time.
