Yang kau asyik call… call… call… tu apa kepepek sak???
Ada hari, pukul 9 pagi, call…
pukul 11.30 call…
pukul 5 petang call…
pukul 8 malam call…
and all these within a day you know!
And now, since I can't bother anyone else to complain in the wee hours of this morning, I want you people to know that I do not like to disturbed in this sort! It's getting on my nerves and chill bones. Once in a while I receive calls at midnight from anyone is okay because they might just have something to inform and it would might just be urgent.
Ini tidak!!!
Bila aku tanya politely… "Wat's up?"
Dia jawab… "Takder saja ajer kacau kau…"
I resorted to not answering HIS calls anymore unless I can spare the time. Yes.. a HE. And what would YOU, yes… you the one reading this… anyone… do if your calls are unanswered most of the time? Do you still keep calling?
Fuck! You should have gotten the message already!
No, I am not being snobbish or trying to disregard an acquaintance but I just need my space. No! Not myspace.com but my personal space.
I told you I will be busy for the next 6 months or more and I have a lot of discussions and documentations to attend to. What does that tell you?
I refuse to disclose my profession because I am dealing with a lot of confidentiality and sensitive areas. Why must you still probe?
I am at home at weird working hours of the day does not make me available or a free man. I could be at Tuas at 4pm stuck in a deal and do I have to tell you why???
When you call, you always stammer and still thinking of what to say or deliver and those pauses are really getting to me because I answered your call when I was awoken by the ringtone. I told you that too, "Aku tengah tidor ah… apa hal?"
Kalau ikutkan rasa hati, limpa, darah daging, jantung, dan kesemua organ yang lain-lain, aku dah maki-hamun dah pasal my rest was already disrupted by something YOU don't even know! But I didn't. I kept my cool (as usual) and treated you as important as any other callers calling me on a personal basis. But did you spare a thought for my thoughts for you? Or are you this insensitive?
Being free at odd hours and busy at separate hours doesn't make me a big earner and let me remind you I am not loaded!!!
I AM NOT LOADED!!!
I have heavy, realistic, ambitious commitments in line right now and I am not even saying that I am at a comfort earning level zone. So don't try to drop hints in wanting to know how much I earn. I didn't even ask yours… at all.
No! I am not an insurance or house agent! Godammit!
You keep asking me out.
But you stated before hand… before hand, mind you all, that it's gonna be a 50-50 affair. ie. go dutch!
WTF?! Aku tahu lah kan… Aku akan bayar. But I want to remind you… as all my close contacts had already know and what WE usually practice;
Whoever initiates, that whoever pays. That's the rule of the relationship.
Eg:
A and B are not close friends.
Q: If A asks B out, who pays?
A: A pays.
Why scenario: Say… A asks B out for karaoke because A wants to hear B's voice. B fucking declined politely because B knows A just wants to hear B live and compare to A's own capabilities. Noooo… it was not spared and hence the calling round the clock started. So B decided to relent and just do it to "get it done and over with" and went for the karaoke session. So who pays at the end of the session??
At the end?? Not even the start!
The night before B was already being informed since A had made bookings for the day after that A and B are going to go on Dutch!!!!!!!
Now you tell me! What kind of business dealings are these?
Why I say business because A wanted to buy B's songs.
B asks… "How much do you think my songs are worth?" because B already heard A's other songs that A paid professional producers and writers for thousands of dollars for songs that got secondary to B's composition and arrangement.
Fair enough A answered, "A few thousand dollars…"
B knows that sentence was just buying insurance because B had met all fucks.
A continued, "But I can only afford you [I will not disclose the amount but it is less than $500 and I am being nice by doing this]"
B was still patient. B offered, "If you know this song is going to bring you the fame and a number 1 spot in the charts but you can't afford it, there is always instalment." So B offered a staggering $200 to $300 every month till total payment WITHOUT interest somemore.
But A said, "But I need to get married and buy airtime for the album…"
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!???????
Ninna buey chow chee bye!
No wonder artists like B cannot survive in singapore!! B is out here trying to sell his art and there comes A setting A's aforementioned thousands value to a mere hundreds? B cannot accept that but still soft in contrast to his aggressive soft-skills B told A to reconsider his price and get his producer/ publishing house contract sorted out. How nice can B get?
That is not all!
A called B on a later date to seek help in writing lyrics for the song.
B declined because the song is not to B's principles because A's song has a rip-off verse.
But B's fault this time because B is a truly helpful and compassionate being, for obliging the assist.
Upon completion, A said thanks but none of credits was being mentioned and B on purpose let that be to see the true colours of A when eventually A's album is released.
If that is true, where credits are not given as deserved as money is involved (minus technical details please), I am afraid A's music career will be an end as soon as it starts.
So A asked B out for lunch after the job completion. Cut the story short, B wasn't hoping for a free meal but it's sad when A just bought drinks for himself. So I no need to tell how B had his lunch.
So after reading all of the above scenarios…
What the fuck is A's problem??
If you are the kind soul to show me the ways on how or what to do, I would deeply appreciate this. I rarely request but if you happen to read this full pour-out, I need comments!
Thanks and regards,
Kaki Komplen aka 'B'
