What actually happened at no. 44

Phew.... I'm glad no. 44 is FINALLY over!!! You see, the reason for this major screw up on this unit is due to 2 factors. "Latin" wanted to save some bucks by going all out to buy her own materials. Then, she got screwed "kau kau" by the wholesaler who told her they could sew her curtains when this blardy wholesaler knew nuts about anything remotely close to curtains except for selling the material itself. So, there it was, "Latin" got the cutains in and when I hung them up, they look like shit! They were too long, the pelmet was badly made, wrong hooks were given, not put in place... in short, everything was wrong lah! This idiot has the cheek to put the blame on my rods and tracks wor??!!! Saying I didn't put the track high enough, so the curtains are touching the floor lor!!! Hello, I was the one who GAVE the measurements including all the details to "Latin", so how can that go wrong? Ayo... no experience say no experience lah.. want to make extra pocket money oso not this way lah... Kasi susah everyone. Tak tentu pasal, have to delay everything else for more than 2 weeks to solve someone else's problem. This "Latin" oso cow brains one, screaming like a mad women without thinking how the problem started. She thinks that by screaming, she will instill fear into people and she will get what she wanted izzit? I just told her straight, you got the curtains this time from someone else who has totally no experience at all, so, make that person repair them for you lah. I can only help so much as to give you advice. Perhaps next time, you will trust me on the entire project instead of trying to cut corners and ended up spending more money. My service may not come cheap, but at least you won't have headache lor. You pay for what you get mah?? Correct or not?? Tsk...tsk...

Dowan to think about no. 44 liao....have to finalise the drawings on lot 175 for this Friday's presentation.

Ok, lotsa words that I didn't know (unfortunately) but it sounds like what Frank goes through sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. If you are done, cut off all ties and don't ever work for her again!

No worries about the Malaysian English, I got the gist of it and I really do want to get better at it. I'm just not finding very many resources.
As for the saving face thing, that's universal. Doing something dumb, having it go wrong, and acting childish about it isn't only an Asian thing. In the US we call it "being Presidential material".
