We had 3 days training at our usual place from Monday till today. One drawback about organizing a public training is that you can get heart attack at the 11th hour. We always set our minimum number of paying participants - enough to cover all costs and get some profit. Usually it's 8 - that's good enough. Last week, the number who registered was 12. Nice. On Friday 4.30pm, 6 of them canceled! Each within 15 minutes from each other! Reasons being - tak dapat kelulusan, some HR guy went for long leave and another 4 got some urgent stuff to do (nasib baik that 4 requested for on-site training). Sakit jantung weh... So that leaves us with only 6. Since it's already late, we had to continue. OK la, cover cost, but minimal profit. But then, on Monday we got a surprise. 2 extra participants showed up, with LO some more. Apparently, their training staff forgot to register with us. Alhamdulillah... nasib baik.

I actually wanted to tell this story about a driver I tailed this morning. I was behind this nyonya at the Smart tunnel toll Touch N Go lane. This nyonya swiped her card but clumsily missed and dropped her card. Know what she did? She called the toll staff who was on stand by at the next lane and rudely pointed down to the road. She just called out and pointed and pointed. That guy then came over, picked up the card and swiped for her. Then she drove away with this stone face like she has all the rights to do so. Can't she just look down to look for the card or even simply open the door and pick the card up? She didn't even do that. Kiasu betul. Some people...
