Foreign Worker come all the way from their home...
to earn a living for their family back home....
they arrived here...
given hostel to live in...
a place to work......
maids, factories worker, assistant in all areas, labour workers, etc....
worked all day long....
all night long.....
some were treated badly...
some were treated nicely....
tired but no complain....
with the little pay they had....
they smile and continue working...
as they know...
this is the only time they can help their family....
with the money they earned with effort,
they win many people hearts...
especially their family...
spouse and children....
with the little money...
they can buy house, land,cars and all sorts of things back home....
they will continue to smile and work....
why will i talk about foreign worker today?
my dad is a lorry driver...
where he will have a follower to assist him in his work.....
every few years this follower will be replaced with a new follower as their permits expired....
when i was younger, there's this follower....a big brother.....
named Nano....
i know it sound funny.....same with the sweet we used to eat last time...
i used to laugh at him...
but i miss him so much....
my dad used to sent me home with his lorry..
they wait for me outside school...
so this big brother will carry my bag...
take umbrella for me when it rains....
carry heavy stuffs....
and so on....
he is really kind....
really nice....
that made me remember him for all this years....
he tried to fake his passport and come for another four to five years.....
after that, he was unable to come anymore....
didn't see him from that time on....
wonder how is him now?
today....
my dad call me....asked me to get ready.....go and eat KFC...
weird...my dad usually won't ask me to go out eat if i'm at home....he will "tapao" for me...
curious...i just followed his instruction and follow him...
usually the follower will stay in the lorry and eat their home made food...
but this time no...
he followed us into KFC....
then, my dad say that he wants to treat us as he won some money from 4d(some lottery thingy)
we orded 2dinner plates and 1 snack plate....
we ate...
he didn't want the pepsi because it's cold....(later in the lorry he say he only drinks plain water... :) so healthy...or rather...save money....)
he gave his water to my dad.....his coleslaw...
and my dad gave him bread...
pour the sauces for him...
he didn't try it before....
chili, thai chili and tomato sauce...
he wanted "asam"....hehe....
my dad and him like good friends...
although they had language barrier...
where my dad BM is not that good...
the worker only can speak BM.....
they communicate well....
with BM and also sign language...haha...
after lunch, he asked my dad....
I felt so bad....if he haven't spent dad and i...he would have enough money to buy the helicopter home...he was really thoughtful that he want to spent us before he left for home.......i was thinking of asking dad to buy him one if he really going home soon.....hehe.....
heard another incident from my mummy the other day....the same foreign worker.....went my grandmother house the other day...he ate his lunch as usual....outside my grandmother house...
then my grandmother ask him to come in...outside hot and stuff...then my grandmother gave him some water and some food too...then ask him lots of things.....after that, the worker and my dad head off to the factory...and the worker cried....until very serious...my dad thought something bad had happened...asked him...then he say he miss his mother back home....my grandmother reminds him of his mother....he said every mother also so bossy...but they were caring.....they want us to be the best of ourselves.....when i heard this story...i was touched too...
i do agree they were quite irritating at times...but all they want....is that we are fine and healthy....thanks alot mummy for taking care of me....
In conclusion, do not treat those foreign worker so bad...some which i have seen...really treat them like slaves....they are human too...they have feelings...although they were paid to do so.....they were paid a certain amount...and make sure that they work load is appropriate to their pay....they were here....far away from their home.....we should show them our love and care too....where here it is a home too....
:)
TIll then...

Hmm... Nothing much should i say more about this topic.
Anyway, all i wanted to say that i am very very pissed off right now.
I went to college today, for only 1 purpose.
Which is to collect the RM15 which a guy has owed me since last Monday, and he kept saying pay you tomolo pay you tomolo etc.
And it drags on till now.
And worst still, it's because i sold him something.
And he doesn't want to pay me.
So i told him i wanna retract the deal. And he said it's already a deal.
I fired him back saying that DEAL means Cash on Delivery. You havn't even pay me yet !!!
What is wrong with him??????
By the way, i barely know him. Only met him once or twice in college. Sold him the stuffs through forum.
Lesson from this:
Please get the amount fixed on that day of exchange itself. Dun let it drag, although he is your friend and you think you know him very well!
Enough said.
