Observing those "precious" hours

Apa itu log book? Menurut Websters Revised Unabridged Dictionary (c) 1996,1998

Log book ,or Logbook (Naut),a book in which is entered the daily progress of a ship at sea,as indicated by the log,with notes on the weather and incidents of the voyage;the contents of the log book.

Di tempat kerja saya sekarang,things are getting quite merepek dan merapek.The management has decided to introduce penggunaan sebuah log book.Mereka berpendapat that the staff have too many free time for themselves. I wonder what other wacky things they are going to think of next?.

So how does this thing work?Well..for every hour semua employee kena record whatever they do,so I assume pegi toilet pun kena remark in the log book.1 log book will be given for every month so ada 12 log books for a year,banyak tu.

My 2 cents on this?For me the company is going through a restructuring phase so I guess by having a log book management boleh "tahu" siapa yang "kerja" and "tak kerja".If its going to be like this,i guess a lot of people might just be heading for the door.

Another new day,another new challenge and the same old sh#t.They say if you want to be successful in life or whatever you do you have to plan it correctly (notice how many ‘you’ I use in a sentence?).Kalau nak melaksanakan project kena ada checklist betul kan?

My daily life or routine pun ada checklist or whatever you want to call it lah….

Daily Check list (pls mark √ kalau dah buat)

1.Bangun pagi
2.drive to work
3.Send wife to office
4.stuck in jam
5.reach the office
6.go out of the office for breakfast (ni wajib)
7.reenter the office
8.Log on to network
9.Check emails
10.Check own blog
11.Check other peoples blog
12.Pretend to be busy
13.Kacau secretary
14.Go out for lunch
15.During lunch time make a point
of “mengutuk” management
16.Come back from lunch
17.Proceed to the Surau for Zohor prayers
(usually dah nak abis waktu)
18.Merapu with your colleagues
19.Again pretend to be busy
20.Check email
21.Check own blog
22.Check other peoples blog
23.Prepare nak balik
24.Drive back home
25.Sangkut slight jam
(not as bad as the morning one)
26.Pick up wife
27.Listen to her problems (this one wajib)
28.Reach home
29.Ambik daughter at nursery
30.Bukak pintu
31.Kena kluar balik cause the wife forgot to
defrost the ayam (optional)
32.Pegi makan at the nearest warung or
fast food joint (optional)
33.drive back home
34.Mandi
35.Tido

This checklist can be used berulang-ulang kali and can be adjusted to suit your working environment. My checklist panjang because the management of the company is very "efficient".

Tapi in my organization we don’t have a check list because the management here comprise of many-many bijak pandai people. That’s why the 1st quarter target belum lagi achieve (we are way off target), we employ consultants to improve the work process and the management are busy “bercinta”.

Man I just “love” my work place.

Does this happen to you?

Dolphins and a Cow

Nothing much to write but got this email from an old friend.

The email goes like this.......

Temensys,Chichla Temenis,Traffic jam and Strawberry Jam

Akhirnya,my side project has become a reality. All those years of complaining, suffering (okay lah not that suffered) and just finding the right people for the project has materialized. Temensys can now officially “fly”. Its going to be a long and winding road but no one said its going to be easy.The important thing the first step dah settle. Apa jadahnya Temensys ni?

Why Temensys? 2 of my partners are fly fishing freaks.Hidup diaorg memang memancing so they decided on the name plus the other names were not approved and we dont want it to sound that technical. Temensis ni sebenornya ikan yang bernama peacock bass and part of the cichlids family.Ikan jenis ni agak brutal (predatory fish).Thats why we agreed on the name. Don’t worry we all tak brutal, especially me.

Chichla Temensis

Chichla Temensis yg baru ditangkap

Hari ni sampai office reaaaalllllyyyy late.Why? Its all because of the traffic jam.Memang tiap-tiap hari jam but today was the worst. Usually sangkut round 15 to 30 minits then masuk NPE where its smooth sailing all the way,but today 1km after the Sg Besi Toll dah start sangkut. Reason for the jam?An accident that happened like 20-30km infront of me.I reached the office an hour and a half later.I noticed that traffic jam ni berlaku if theres and accident (even if its on the other lane) or if it starts to rain or sudah hujan.You can build 10 lanes pun I think traffic jams will happen.Repair jalan pun jam.Sometimes kereta or motor rosak tepi jalan pun jam.

Do you think by carpooling things would change?I doubt it,why?Do you think all those big shots who drive their Merc and Beemers (BMW) nak car pool?

Do you think by improving the public transportation things would change?In the long run maybe,but they have to improve on the scheduling etc.Dont want to reach the office late do we?

Traffic Jam

Another Jam

This Jam I like

-Have a Jam free day-

Time to move on?

Seperti hari-hari yang lain,I would get an email from Group Corporate Communication on the daily media coverage of the company.Usually I would just delete them but hari ni kena baca pasal agak kecoh in the office this morning. It seems that Datuk Seri Dr Hilmi Yahya said that the CEO’s of several top GLC’s who did not perform just put in their letter and let somebody else run the show.

It has been known that amongst the 15 largest GLC’s 4 had suffered losses last year.

They are :

Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd
Malaysian Airlines Systems Bhd
UEM World Bhd
Proton Holdings Bhd

I belong to one of them,and agak risau when you hear that your boss maybe replaced because he is found incompetent.I worry that when management changes a lot of other things will follow suit. I’ve been through merges and takeovers and its not a pretty sight.You don’t know whats going to happen to you. You don’t need to see where you will be 10 years down the road. Next year pun tak tau untung nasib macamana.

Last week got a call from headhunter who represents this Japanese corporation. They were looking for a supply chain management “expert”. It seems that I fit the bill and wanted me to attend this interview/sessi beramah mesra jumaat ni. The offer they tabled was quite “tempting”.

Lets see how things go this Friday……….maybe I might just take it.

Another Monday another brand new week

It’s a brand new day of a brand new week,sejak my streamyx went dead and the kelembapan of TM Net suruh repair the damn thing. I haven’t been able to be online like before.To venture into cyberland kena lah pegi Starbucks or any other place that provides free wireless service.
Izhal if you’re reading this,theres one near your future house.

So lets see what happened during the weekend…..

In the world of sports, Abg Henry finally signed a new 4 year contract.Kepada supporter Barcelona or whoever wanted to buy him,mintak maaf bebanyak but he just aint interested.

Contract dah sign..so wheres the Pepsi?

Menurut Abg Henry

"The game reassured me of one thing I wanted to know - how far I can go with that team,” kata Abg Henry lagi. “I know we lost but they showed me they are a team with heart and lots of quality. We can be so proud of what we did.”

“There were other things that made me stay — my family, London, the fans here and away from home, the press, everyone. All those little things help to make my mind up.

"I always refer to Arsenal as my home. I have been welcomed with open arms, the love I receive here - sometimes from non-Arsenal fans - is something I can't forget about."

So there you have it ladies and gents Thierry Henry will still wear the number 14 jersey next season.

Juventus relegated to Serie B?

Nampak gayanya the old lady of Turin will be playing in Serie B.

The Luciano Moggi scandal has more twist and turns than the soap opera days of our lives. Moggi has had to resign at Juve and is facing charges ranging from intimidation to kidnapping and criminal conspiracy. Juventus meanwhile stand accused of sporting fraud, as beneficiaries of what police have dubbed the "Moggi System". This consists of assigning friendly referees for Juve games, finding unfriendly ones for their rivals, and making sure future opponents were "softened up" with judicious use of the red card. Forty-one people in total are being investigated, including senior officials at two other Serie A clubs, Lazio and Fiorentina, both of whose phone transcripts appear to show them "signing up" for the Moggi System. They and Juventus now stand a real chance of being relegated.

Shortlived celebration?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lagi-Lagi GLC

On a rather serious note, the company I’m working for is one of the 5 GLC companies not performing.Aisehhhh in the news lagi.Hate it when friends ask me “ehhh watched the news ahh,your company not performing…loss teruk gak ahh?” Aisehh friend I work there only, what to do if theres too many “smart” people running the company?

Finally....

Yasmin sakit gigi..or gusi or both.Her gigi geraham nak tumbuh kot.The ever concerned Mother telah bawak the in pain daughter to the clinic.The father decided to stay in the car cause he was wearing shorts only and segan to enter the clinic yang penuh ngan pompuan-pompuan.So terpaksa lah mendengar leteran from the mother all the way home

Babah..Hana cakit gigi

-Hope your weekend was as good as mine-

Perbezaan P.E.P.S.I dengan air PEPSI

When you work in a troubled environment and don’t know how to improve things, your management would appoint consultants to think of ways to improve things that cannot be improved. The other day the consultant talked about P.E.P.S.I not air pepsi.

P=PRODUCTIVITY & PROFITABILITY IMPROVING
E=EXPANSION & BUSINESS GROWTH
P=PEOPLE & ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
S=SYSTEMS & PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
I=IMAGE ENHANCEMENT OF COMPANY

Dengan adanya PEPSI ni,the company will “unlock the hidden value, recognize the talent and capitilise on new areas of opportunity”.Sometimes I wonder,kenapa baru sekarang diaorg nak pikir benda-benda ni?

Minum bila dahaga

Kings Of Europe (dlm ada air Pepsi)

Barcelona won the Champions League, agak sedih cause Arsenal lost but not that devastated cause I support both teams. Congrats to Barcelona who won the match and the future looks bright at arsenal.Eventhough kalah but small margin. If Lehmann wasn’t sent off I think the gunners could have won the match.

Before game,kena main bunga api dulu

Abg Lehmann kena buang padang pasal amik air pepsi org

Abg Henry suruh Abg Lehmann pakai otak next time

The 1st goal and Abg Sol running to get his Pepsi

The goal that ended it all

Still looking for his Pepsi

Looking forward to next season, I hope Henry signs a new contract and Arsenal winning the Championship.

This would be me if i were in Paris..

A tale of 2 mothers (Part 2)

My wife became a mother 2 years and 3 months ago. We have been married for the past 5 years.Our Yasmin has brought laughter and joy to our once boring lives.

I first met my wife during my university days.She was a junior of mine and just arrived in Newcastle.Her house was just near mine..tak sampai 5 minute.We occasionally would meet up on campus or in the IT lab.I never did take much notice about her because i had a girlfriend at that time and the thought never crossed my mind.

But as fate would have it,we did have a relationship from being friends and developed into something special.I left the UK in 1998,but she had to stay back cause she had to complete her final year of studies.Communication between us was purely by MIRC,calls were only made when i only had the cash.

She came back to Malaysia 1999 since it was the depression period,it was quite difficult to get a job.She managed to teach in a private college but things just didn't work out.We also got engaged that year and in 2001 we got married.

I owe her a lot,she has always been there for me both in bad and good times.Laut bergelora macam mana pun we have always been able to sail thru it.She is the fire while i am the water.We used to be the "panas" type.Both of us cant accept defeat,I guess when we get older we dont like confrontation so its me who likes to take the back seat on the majority of things.She was always there whenever i changed jobs..had arguments with the boss..and all the stuff married couples have.

She has been an excellent mother.Yasmin will and always be the priority.If i were in charge i guess Yasmin might be drinking coffee right now.I tend to think diapers and milk are trivial things thats where my wife comes in.I thank her for that.

So on this mothers day,i would like to wish my wife a happy mothers day.If it were not for you i dont know where i'll be rite now.Thank you for having the "kesabaran" all these years and i hope that kesabaran will last till the end of time.

Her World

Happy mothers day mama Yasmin

A tale of 2 mothers (Part 1)

There are 2 important mothers in my life.One is my mother the other one is the mother to my daughter.With out them i wont be where I am right now. Both of them have sacrificed a lot for me and i am forever grateful to them.

My mother was born 54 years ago in a small village in Sarawak.My grandparents were only farmers so after completing her MCE she worked as a clerk in one of the Government Office's.Being the eldest it was my mothers responsibility in ensuring that my uncle and aunts recieved a good education.My mother first met my father during a rugby match in kuching.Their first meeting was quite funny,since my father broke his arm during that match and they only got together in the hospital.My father at the time worked with the airforce and was transfered to kuching.He was the chief engineer at the airforce base.My mother was born a catholic,most of my aunts and uncles are still catholics and a few of them have become muslims through marriage.

My parents got married in 1972, on Hari Wilayah. No big wedding, no bersanding.The akad nikah was done at the pejabat kadi.Even my grandparents in Johor didnt know about it.I "popped" into this world in 1975.According to my mother hidup I memang senang.Being a son of a high ranking officer came with its perks.Bungalow house, maid the whole package.Being the eldest had its advantages.Then my 2 sisters came along in 1977 and 1978. I guess I gave mak and abah a hard time during my late sekolah rendah till my university days.Abah being the strict one never tolerated my slackness and "dont care less" attitude.Abah after retiring from the airforce was busy with business and would only see him during weekends jer.Everything revolved around mak,dia lah kawan and dialah lawan.When there were disagreements between mak and me,harsh words do come out..biasalah darah muda,mak would just stay quite.When i think bank on those days regret memang ada.Mak is an excellent cook,minat and bakat tu i inherited.Mak would teach me all her recipes and i would observe her when she cooks. I also loved to do the cleaning.Those were the things that made mak proud agaknyer.

When I went off to the UK, I never missed my parents..the feeling was never there.Maybe cause i wanted that freedom so badly.During sekolah menengah and rendah me and my sisters followed a very strict schedule,it was like in the army..there were rules for everything.Now when i look back i realise why my father did it and i'm thankful for it.My father sent me to the UK to study Law.I never wanted to do it,I was more interested in communications.Mak tried her best to pujuk abah,but abah never gave in and the main reason was because he was paying for it.

When i started work,mak was always there to give me that extra cash to pay for petrol..toll and macam2 lagi.She would provide me bekal makan for lunch and breakfast.I felt like her little boy again.I guess mak felt that she was going to hilang her son when i told her i wanted to get married. I was her tempat mengadu..her driver..and also tempat nak mengumpat.I spent more time with my tunang which i guess made my mother jelous.I never saw that..i spent less and less time at home.

After I got married, i moved out of the house and was occupied with work.I never got to see much of mak.After Yasmin came out i made a point to atleast balik once a week,like they say "family is all you got".Duit boleh carik but family you cant buy it at a shop.I want my children to be close to their "tok mak" and "tok abah" i want my children to know that their "babah" has a great family.

Today is mothers day,my wife and 2 sisters have arranged a special lunch for mak.People say life is short so enjoy it.Mak and Abah wont live forever,my hope is that whatever time they have they enjoy it.Thank you mak for bringing me into this world,for tolerating my perangai for the past 31 years,teaching me whats right and wrong and reminding me (constantly) to be a good muslim and not to forget my tanggungjawab.

Yasmin & Tok Mak

Terima Kasih Mak

Justice & Fairness

Conversation on the way back home yesterday.

Wife : Did you know that all the O2's (officer 2) will be getting their arrears?

Me : hmmmm

Wife : Some of them dapat arrears up to RM10k

Me : Thats good..their rezeki

Wife : Yang I tak puas hati tu, is that Mr xxxx dapat kenaikan 5%.If you add

the adjusment that they got the other day,they all dapat kenaikan 20%

Me : Bagus lah,rezeki diaorg

Wife : I tak puas hati, we all yang Officer 1 only get 3% increament. Now Mr
xxxx pay is more than my pay.

Me : Mr xxxx SPM holder je kan?

Wife : Iye, betul tak adil lah.How do they justify that increase..what is
the justification?
How do they deduce the percentage?

Me : Selagi makan gaji dont complain,these are the things that you will
encounter

Wife : I know,but how do they justify the increase?

Me : We can talk until the cows come home pun tak abis menda ni. Either you
keep quit and start looking for other opportunities or do your own thing

This conversation memang biasa in my household.Both of us memang tak puas hati dengan each other management.I used to be the loose wire@tak pikir panjang type of guy.But when you get older you tend to wise up,plus the fact after being jobless for 3 months makes you realise either you join them or you dont.

I have always told my wife that she is underpaid,i can consider her quite a good worker..she does what is required.But i cant say much about her pay.Anyway i dah encounter situations like this eversince i started working.Memang ler marah..tak puas hati,you feel like confronting the boss but what will be the outcome?They might listen to you but you'll be "marked" by the management for being a "loose cannon" and i doubt they would take whatever you say into consideration. When the boss have made up their mind on anything,rarely you see they think back on it.Usually whats decide stays decided."whats the point?" I always think.I've managed people before,I've seen the good side and bad side of it.The good side of management i will use when i have my own company.Its not easy to please everyone but we can always try.

In work you can never get what you want,you might gain something but you will loose out on something else.eg is maybe the pay is good but the environment sucks.You have to have that balance..baru lengkap hidup.I believe in hard work and seeing the results from it. That is why i have always advocated to my wife that i would rather do my own thing. Sayangnya my wife tak berapa nampak sangat when you have your own business. I think maybe she isnt a risk taking person. Life is a risk..work is also a risk...nak pi jamban pun risk.I believe in hard work and also working smart. Buat apa we all kerja penat-penat untuk kayakan org lain. I believe we were put on God's earth for a reason. A persons success depends on the individual and time will always be a factor.Selagi makan gaji the issue of justice and fairness takkan abis

I still dont see the cows coming home

Can we accept change?

Sepanjang minggu ni,the office is alive with activity.Org-org yang tak dikenali keluar masuk and the conference and meeting always penuh.Rupa-rupanya they all are consultants who are devising ways to improve productivity dan benda-benda yang sewaktu denganya.Eversince the parent company noticed our "potential",the company had to be "restructured" in line with the parent.So "anak" kena ikut cakap "mak ngan bapak" diaorg.The main question is are these changes perlu? or are these so called consultants milking the company?

Last week all the staff kena buat online questionaire,they called it a "climate survey".Basically they will ask questions on you feel bout the company and the management.I basically disagreed with everything.I have been here almost 8 months but theres nothing solid to show,which basically frustrates me.From the survey diaorg make a conclusion and i have a feeling that more than 80% are not satisfied with the company or the management.So what is the solution?Do you change the management?very unlikely?sack or transfer the staff who feel tak puas hati?This is the likely scenario.

I have worked in many companies,but the place i learnt the most was in westport.The management would listen to whatever yang you tak puas hati.Eventhough changes sometimes takde,but at least diaorg dengar.They accept kritikan,diaorg takde lah nak melompat bila kita bukak mulut.nevertheless they were not that perfect but at least they listen.In my current employment there is no 2 way communication,bagi kritikan yang membina they will mark you for life.If you cannot accept your weaknesses then macam mana you nak go forward.The main problem with malay companies are like that.They have their cronies,duit poket etc.Its hard for me to imgaine management to accept change.

Sekarang ni,i'm getting quite fed up and bored of my situation.There is no direction,kerja macam ayam takde kepala,walking/working like a bunch of zombies.I'm pondering on leaving,theres no point in me staying in an establishment where the management are all gila kuasa.In 1 or 2 months time a new division will be created,they will call it strategic planning.The person who is going to head it is someone who i would rather see dead.If this is what the so called consultants think is going to improve productivity,well they are all dead wrong.The person in charge is an asshole who has an ego the size of whale and thinks he is "lelaki melayu terakhir".If this person is qualified and knows the industry then i wont be writing all this.I cant accept this change,because the person is not qualified.

In my opinion,turun naik sesuatu syarikat bergantung pada 2 which is the management and the worker.Both are related,if either one screw another dedua ler sakit.There has to be give and take.Management wants wonders from their staff,but without the necessary tool nothing can be achieved.Management has to listen to the voice of the staff,and find ways to improve things.Pekerja pulak tak boleh take advantage on the management.There must be balance in the equation if not no harmony can be achieved.

Me and a few friends have opened up a business and between 4 of us have over 50 years of experience working and managing people.Bukan nak cakap besar or angkat bakul sendiri but whatever good things that we have learnt will be applied to the company,and the bad things left in the dustbin....god willing

Temensys S/B...a new beginning

Cant think of a title

There were too many things that i wanted to write that happened to me masa the weekend.Tapi biasa ler bila nak write that particluar something mesti ada benda lain yang come up.At this moment terasa ada some free time.Pagi tadi dah attend morning meeting which i really dread.I dont know why they have meetings,its difficult to get this resolved...ill rephrase that,nothing gets resolved.Skang ni kat office a bunch of consultants are earning big $$$ by just figuring out how to improve the productivity of the company.Rather than pay these consultants might as well pay me.Productivity can easily be improved by sacking the senior management.These people are overpayed and basically do nothing.Yang diaorg reti carik silap orang jer.

Malaysians i think are people who live on scandals,gossips and menda-menda yang sewaktu denganya.Last Sunday while having breakfast with the family,my wife who was reading the daily tabloid was "briefing" me on the latest going on's in the entertainment world.Dont get me wrong,i love a good gossip now and then but when the front page of the paper tunjuk whether its true a certain entertainer is going to marry a prominent businessman then something is wrong.If you look at the newstand,lebih banyak majalah hiburan dari majalah ilmiah.Dont get me wrong,a lit bit of entertainment now and then is okay,tapi when your whole life revolves around a specific artis then masalah akan timbul.Kat office ada sorang staff ni,basically i can consider dia ni obsesed dengan penghibur they call "Raja SMS".Mana saja penyanyi ni pegi she will follow.Apa saja entertainer ni buat semuanya betul.Dia ni the hard core type of fan.I doubt the local singing industry will ever change,dahler penuh dengan piracy but lacking is quality.Sometimes the songs they belt out are the same,takde perubahan langsung.A good example are the 3 singing brothers who have been in the business i think for the past 20 years.Their tunes still sound the same after all these years,takde perubahan langsung.

Boleh Ubah ke?

93 Years and a new beginning.

The past

Semalam was the last day,Arsenal main kat Highbury.Lepas ni diaorg main kat Emirates Stadium.Arsenal kalahkan Wigan 4-2, and Henry scored a hat trick.Semua penonton kena pakai t-shirt merah putih,which I think were sponsored by O2.Basically the whole stadium nampak merah putih.Sedih gak bila ref tiup last whistle pasal lepas ni there will be no more Highbury.

My love affair with Arsenal started in 1987,that time George Graham was the manager.That was also the year Arsenal won the League Cup.Masa sekolah there were only 2 teams that people supported ie Man United and Liverpool.Yours truly in tak suka nak follow orang lain so I opted to support Arsenal.During those times the only way for me to know about my favourite team was to read about them in the Malay Mail.My father was a regular reader of the paper,so I tried to pick up anything on my team.My dream was to see Highbury with my own eyes.

In 1996,my dream to see Highbury dah half tercapai cause I furthered my studies in the UK.My plan was to go to London during the summer and head off to Highbury.Tahun tu jugak Arsenal won the Premiership title and it made it even more special.August 1997,yours truly terpacak infront of the gates of Highbury.My dream dah tercapai,rasa nak nangis pun ada.My girlfriend (now my wife) geleng kepala jer.She is not a football fan but since she tries to understand me,she has also become a gunner.I hope my children will support and their children too will support the gunners at their new stadium

For some its been a fabulous 93 years,for me thank you Highbury for giving me 19 years of entertainment.

The future

Dicelakakan di pagi hari

My policy in life is that you have to be happy in what you do.Tak kisah ler apa pun buat benda mesti mau happy,baru worthwhile.If you want to go to the jamban pun have to be happy.Another thing is that if you start you're day kena "screw" then the whole day mesti fucked up punya.I'm making this statement pasal memang selalu terjadik kat saya,some people may not agree but thats the way things go.

Anyway,masa driving to work this morning i got an sms.Biasa lah kan semua org dapat sms,biasanya yang hantar sms ni 2 org jer either my wife atau my colleague tanya pukul berapa nak sampai cause we all nak pi breakfast.So this morning dapat sms from MKB,MKB?sapa MKB?that one have to refer to my previous post (tidak suka diperintah).Anyway dia tanya pukul berapa meeting with the consultant.Meeting apa jadahnya.Before balik semlm check email takde plak kata ada meeting.So utk mengelak dari kena bedilan roket i called the consultant,shit dapat voice message.Then tried to call dia punya assistant,dia pun tak tau wujudnya meeting tu.Man i know i'm gonna get screwed pagi ni.Tepat 830 si MKB called me,damn apa yang aku nak jawab ni?I told him that i didnt have a clue on any meeting,maybe meeting to just between the MD and the consultant, i explained to him.Bila MKB dgr my reply dia jawab "Tak tauuu ada meetiiiiiing?".Memang ler you stupid fuck,how should i know.For the past 6 months you treated me like an outcast,then you drop a blooding project on my doorstep and asking for miracles.Tapi takde decency to invite me for a meeting.Fuck you MKB!!!!!

5 minits after that i got hold of the consultant,sembang punya sembang got to find that the meeting is at 6pm. Ni lagi satu,apa jadahnya buat meeting lewat petang?6pm is time to go home or reach home.Dah lepak ngan anak bini kat rumah.Now i'm stuck in the bloody boardroom and trying to jump start our brains.

Lepas sembang ngan consultant,kena ler lapor balik kat MKB kan?so sebagai pencacai yang "setia" i pun call.Kali ni kena "sembur/screw..." the whole works man.He said i'm not serious lah...itulah...inilah...semua dia complain.In my head i imagine a big ass talking to me,pasal that is what he is a big ass hole.

Well there you have it,my day is screwed.No mood to do anything pasal lepas ni semua screwed.I had a lot of things planned for today.Nak settle this..that and macam-macam lagi.Then comes a long this kampung boy-who got educated-and thinks he own the fucking planet come along semuanya hancuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur.Fuck you MKB and Fuck your whole family.

To anyone who reads this,sorry for the bad language,its just that i get so pissed off when this fucker steps into the picture.Next entry will be rated "U" for tontonan umum.

Had a bad day?

Much A-Bridge About Nothing (view from our neighbours)

The Malaysia-Singapore "bridge to replace causeway" issue explained in 30 seconds...


Malaysia: Ay, I want a new bridge.

Singapore: Why? What's wrong with the present one?

Malaysia: Kan-ni-nia, I want ships to dock at Johor so I can service them and build a port operations lar! Now the causeway cannot allow ships to pass through what, like that also must ask meh?

Singapore: *thinks to himself* Siao! Like that the ships don't have to pass by Singapore anymore, can go directly to Malaysia, sure I lose business one.

Singapore: *smiley face* Er... How much does it cost?

Malaysia: Cheap cheap lar! S$500 million for your half of the bridge only.

Singapore: *unsmiley face* Wah lau eh, I lose business plus must spend money somemore to build a new bridge? I not stupid, okay.

Malaysia: What you want?

Singapore: Aiyah, chin chye lar, sell me some sand and allow me to use some of your airspace lor.

Malaysia: Huh? Why you so like that? Want to build or not, if not I just build half-crooked bridge and connect to your side of the causeway!


Sometime later...


Malaysia: Wei, don't want to build new bridge liao. You so evil and selfish, want sand want air, even though it's free and I have plenty of it, wait others think I must kow-tow to you just for a stupid bridge.

Singapore: *thinks to himself* Siao ting-tong, I never wanted the bridge in the first place.

Can't we be friends?

sopan santun and why people lack it

Dah lama tak kena cuti panjang,felt really good and felt bersemangat after the long hiatus.

Anyway spent the last 3 days with the family,i can say it was a productive 3 days.

Saturday was spent mostly in the office,had to clear up a few things dont want to be caught up with anything during those 3 days.Rakan sekerja ada sekali so tak lah boring. Reached home at 5pm, took a short nap then took my other half to the clinic cause dia complain tak dgr.Nasib baik only 1 ear, kalau dedua tak dgr then problem gak.Settle that off we went to Alamanda,bawak sekali a good friend of mine.Since it was the AIM nite,we all planned just to have dinner and then head straight home.Tapi biasa ler plan same like promises are meant to be broken.

Had dinner at this nyonya restaurant,its just next to the coast which is near to starbucks.Biasanya i'll eat at the coast cause thats the best next thing to Chilli's, Hard Rock Cafe or even Planet Hollywood. Since takde tempat makan camtu, the coast pun boleh lah.Buy the way their mushroom burger memang lazat.Reason we at at the nyonya restaurant was because my friend tak dapat sentuh nasik for 1 whole week,he works as a pramugara and spent the whole week in Rome. The food was okay,but portion sikit so i tau after midnite sure lapar balik.Whenever i go to eat i make a point to mingle around with the staff,its easier when you get to know them.I dont like to create that barrier,between customer and waiter.During my student days,i worked in such establishments and if the customer doesnt treat or respect the waiter god knows what their gonna do with your meal.Even at work,I dont treat the subordinates any differently.We are all here to earn an honest living,to put food on the table,clothes on our family.Sometimes i tak paham why this mentality that "i am the boss you have to listen to me".Dont these people get it,the reason your on top is because your subordinates put you there.

Thank goodness for me i have never encountered that problem,my door is always open.Even after leaving the company,my subordiates always keep in touch and i' thankful for that.

Sunday was spent at KLCC.Needed to find new shoes and pants.Seperti biasa kalau dah cuti memang jam packed lah KLCC.Bila dah ramai org lifts will be full, escalators tak jalan/rosak.Memandangkan kitaorg bawak Yasmin added accesorie would be the stroller. So kalau nak pi from 1 floor to the other kena ler naik lift.Citer pasal lift ni biasa ler bila nak tunggu masuk lift there would be some people also nak masuk. Being who i am, i like to give that friendly smile bukanya senyum org giler ke apa.just a hello smile.Yang really piss me off is when they dont smile back and tarik muka masam. what the fuck man,mahal sangat ke kau punya senyum?As a human being salah ke balas senyum?The same thing bila kita bawak kereta, time jam we give way to someone yang nak mencelah,susah sangat ke nak angkat tangan?Some people anggap menda ni trivial but for me my parents have taught me to be civilised and respectful to others.I betul-betul tak paham?

Susah ke nak senyum?
