HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOEL PANG and MARLEE WINDERMAN!

I am angry, frustrated and utterly ashamed to be an Indonesian where discrimination still exists between the chinese and the non-chinese.

Okay... I had such a terrible day! Really so bad that I swear it'll be etched in my memory for the rest of my life.
My plan for today(and yes! I did spend THAT extra time to plan it all out):
Get sis to send me down to Indonesia Consulate to have my passport done before she goes for work
(Note: her work starts at 9 and the Consulate office opens at 9)
She had to send me down by 7.30a.m (Which I am fine with it).
I gave myself one and a half hr for everything to get done and booked a cab few days back to come n fetch me at 10.30 to school.
This way, I wld only have to miss one math class, and attend my sociology and business class.

What made my day extra memorable? Was to have EVERYTHING so F up because of those lazy INDONESIAN bums!

Office was suppose to open at NINE A.M! and finally, one lazy bum came in after NINE THIRTY. cause apparently, they can come as and when they like because they like making those chinese indo wait for them.
While waiting for about 40minutes, I made 4 new friends there. (thank god! I've got them to chat with)
I was glad that LAZY BUM ONE finally came! and so i thought he can start helping me with my passport extension.
LAZY BUM ONE asked me to wait for another guy whom he assume was still on his way.
fine. I waited and waited and tt man finally came. LAZY BUM NUMBER TWO!
when LAZY BUM TWO came, he told me tt I can only have my passport renewed when the expiry date is less than 6 mths.
I told him I need to get it done cause I'll be going back to Singapore when it's time for me to have it done. and plus! If I dont get it done, I wont be able to come back to USA.
he go yakking away. looking so pissed(hello! lazy bum! who shld be pissed! I sounded so patient and there you were sounding like some bastard who just lost his job) and told me he wont allow me to extend my passport. Instead, I shld report my arrival in USA since I havent done it yet frm another counter.
and yes I went back to LAZY BUM ONE, and did what he told me to. fill up some form and they needed my passport photo.
my photo was being rejected cause it is of a white background and they insist it has to be of a RED background.
He asked me to look for a place tt will help me take my passport photo! that was bad! A PLACE? what place? I have no idea where to find THAT place. I asked around and had to walk for qt a distance just to get one passport photo of a red background!
I had to pay US$25 for just one passport sized photo. crazee nuts!
so I went back... I seriously have no idea what was the time then. I knew I was fuming mad! LAZY BUM ONE told me to wait cause he needed to get the signature of LAZY BUM THREE whom was suppose to be on his way down.
I waited for about half an hour more and grew even more impatient! LAZY BUM THREE was still not around!
he told me LAZY BUM THREE was still ON HIS WAY. an hr ago, he was on his way. an hour later, he was still on his way.
By then my cab driver called me. I told him I had to wait and have no idea for how long more.
He left. I dont blame him cause I myself have no idea when all these waiting will end.
went back to the consulate office and waited again... I asked that LAZY BUM ONE when is LAZY BUM THREE gonna arrive cause I had to rush for class! He told me tt LAZY BUM THREE is still on his way! okay!
I went so red! HELLO!? he is suppose to be in his office by 9! and by then it was way way way way past 9a.m! rubber time! even rubber doesnt stretch tt much!
finally that LAZY BUM THREE arrived and returned me my passport.
I waited so damn long to get my passport extended but instead, I waited for so long to only get some signature from a LAZY BUM!
I missed my two classes and didnt get anything fruitful done! tt made me so mad!
I am so sure they made life hard for me(and all the chinese indos) cause when this woman wanted to report her arrival in LA, she was told she had to go back to SAN FRANCISCO cause she was from there. He was being so ridiculous! he astually wanted her to fly/drive her way up to SF just to report tt she's in LA before she can come back to get her passport extended. he told her tt the consulate in SF and LA have no connection. F him! good thing she listened to us and called the consulate office in SF. and she was told she cld do it here and nt go back to SF specially. asshole! you see? LAZY BUM ONE is purposely making life hell for chinese.

I called up for another cab to come and fetch me which came 15minutes later.
guess what? I got stuck in the highway for more than an hour caus eof an accident. yes! I wanted to vomit in the cab.
Apparently I fell asleep and by the time I woke up, I was near school.
I PAID US$85 FOR CAB FEE! not the cab driver's fault. but you know when you're so mad and things dont go your way, you just feel even worse.

okay... I wonder why mum didn't apply for me a Singapore PR.
I hope I do not have to go back to indo after schooling. Either stay here or go back spore(which I wld much prefer).
ARGH!!! I HATE LAZY BUMS!
