Tuna Power

Forgive me for I have made a mistake.

The supposedly named Dr Chua should be Dr Chia instead.
How can I just anyhow give people wrong names like this.
Must be some idiot from my workplace who gave me the incorrect information.
Nevertheless, I apologise for the misinterpretation.
Changing the surname from Chua to Chia would be...

Chia le ke.

Chia le ke?
One may ask again.

Chia le ke Jia Sai.

Anyway...
Today was quite a happening day for me.
We had area inspection in the morning, the usual cases during the day and ending off with a carrom competition once more.
The previous competition was based on a system that wasn't really fair thus there was a need for a rematch.
For a game that consists of a thousand year old board with countless scratches and a set of seeds with colours that are fading off, it sounds pretty professional to me.
I think for a $45 prize money, we had to follow international standards and play in the national stadium as well.

Dr Jeremy was the one inspecting us this morning.
He had to wait for Dr Lee to arrive before he could start.
Mainly because Dr Lee is new and he had to be taught on how to do area inspection in the near future.

Dr Jeremy is the keyboard specialist.

For some reason, he likes to check the spot beneath the keyboards.
He will usually lift the keyboard and wipe across the area using his hands.

'Keyboard must clean ah.'
Then he will walk away without checking any further and proceed to the next station.

Maybe he got a bad experience in keyboards or something.
He could be using his computer and suddenly a cockroach ran out from beneath the keyboard and gave him the shock of his life.

Speaking of traits,
Dr Laurence, Dr Lim Chan Meng and Dr Kelvin have their own way of inspecting too.

Kelvin is like the most garang one of all the medical officers.
He checks practically anywhere and everywhere.
Fortunately underwhere is not included if not he would have found even more distinctive stains.
Often the outcome would be some pushups and an additional level of hatred towards him.

Lim Chan Meng is the total opposite of Kelvin.
I am not saying that he does check underwhere but he's completely slack.
All he does is walk around and smiling to everyone when he comes close.

Laurence is the attitude problem kind of person.
As long as you don't make him dislike you, you're quite safe.
If not, he will pick on you and unleash hell.
He likes to check on the rubbish bins too.
Probably he grew up from there when he was a baby. His mother knew he would grow up to be like this so she had to do something before it was too late.
Other than that, Laurence would walk around the place scanning for mistakes using only his eyes and without touching with his hands at all.
Since he is the Eye doctor, I am sure that he is able to spot microscopic dirt by depending on his eyes alone.

The cases during the day were tedious.
It's the retarded batch again.
Those who never study properly and ending up in ITEs.
Giving us fucking alot of problems with their spastic intelligence and behaviours.
Well... There's nothing we could do.
Wanling and I could only attend to them like how we usually do. How I wish that I could just smack their heads and tell them to wake up their fucking ideas.
Tattoo so many, walk in like some fucking gangster then after that give simple instructions also cannot follow properly. Must breast feed sayang sayang explain until so clearly.
Fuck off lah. Waste my time only.

Late in the afternoon, the time to compete in carrom came...

I don't mean to brag but,
I and Yean were the first to be eliminated again.

After rounds of carrom, Kong and Victor managed to win and emerge as champions.
By the time they were victorious, I was already in the MRT on my way back to Tampines.
The games have extended until everyone else had gone with only the loyal supporters left.

When Kong won, he sms me and I told him that next week he had to treat lunch.

'Cannot lah, that one is tuna money.'
He replied.

Poor thing.
Kong don't have enough cash to eat proper meals.
He spends his savings on bread and tuna so as to survive for weeks.
This $22.50 would mean alot to him.
It could stock up his tuna for another two weeks of supply before he starts to worry again.

No wonder he played like a champion.
He must be a very hungry man.
