Gin-Nah

My friends and I encountered horrendous (and at some point even spiteful) service at Crystal Jade Holland Village yesterday.

Today a different group of friends were at one of our Condos. We washed up at the shower and had a dip in the pool, only for the security personnel to come invite us out again.

Their reason: We were not properly attired. (2 of us in trunks, 5 in shorts).

Moron to my friend (resident): You know, your father pay a lot of money to buy a place here, management will make noise if you all go into the pool without swimming trunks.
(That was crap because it was a new place with like, 5 families that moved in? There was nobody and no mangement to make complaints)

Also I would not feel so aggrieved if not for the fact that there were similarly attired people who weren't singled out.

An indignant friend of mine went to scout out these people and brought it up to the abovementioned security folks. Only then did they go over to have a discussion with the other guy in shorts, a middle aged uncle with his kids, before coming back to us. What he said bordered on comedy.

Moron: The resident there is with his kids, as you know today is Singapore's birthday, we don't want to spoil their mood, but I've confined them to that pool over there.
(WTF, how is National Day relevant to his special previleges?)

Me: This is double standards, if that's the case you can confine us to that pool as well.

Moron: No we can't do that, erm, his shorts are different ah.... I checked, those are for swimming and beach wear.... It's the waterproof material

(super WTF, even swimming trucks are not waterproof.... they get wet! That guy wearing wat... condom ah?).

Oh. So now some shorts are ok and some shorts aren't. And he conveniently gets to decide which ones are allowed too!

As my friend the police scholar (yes we had a police officer amongst us, so we weren't scared of them literally calling police) said, "Don't argue with these underachievers, they are low-lifes who feel shiok (empowered) telling other people what to do".
(He did look like his best shot in life, 20 years ago, was playing in the S-league btw)


Bottom line. We agreed that:

1. We were guests at my friend's condo, versus a resident.
2. He was older and more capable of kicking up a bigger, ass-whopping fuss.
3. The guard thought we were young punks who were as incompetent in life as him and thus would pollute the pool with our lower class perspiration.

They probably already had an opinion of us when we walked in all tired and sweaty. Had we driven into the premises with our BMWs, Mercs and Jags, we'd be treated differently. The rules apply only to some.

It sucks when you look Gin-nah. When you look gin-nah and are poor and unimportant as well....expect to be treated like you owe everyone money.

People always think they know better and tell you what to do, even when they're complete freakin' idiots, simply because they think you're a young pushover.
