the thin line between good & bad

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Manners.We all seem to claim we have it - LOTS of it.Do we really?Or have we submit outselves to the norm "since no one’s doing it,then why should I?"

There was a long queue at the atm.I got cut off.Seriously,if u see someone standing in front of u,& ur unsure if he/she’s queuing up,by all means DO ASK!God has given you the ability to speak..waste not that gift!

I wasn’t about to put up a fuss & queued up in another line.Long story short,the girl in front of me let her friend cut in line (talking about crossing the line!).Despite the sudden rage of fire burning inside,I tapped her friend gently on the shoulder asking if she was in this line since I saw her in the other line queuing up just now.So in a very ‘tak menjawab kehendak soalan’ kinda way she said that she was with her friend.SO in the end I let her do her transaction anyway after mentioning that her action was inconsiderate to other people who were queuing up properly.

Typically,she relented by ‘murmuring’ things with her friend.I’d say Wei,kalau berani cakap depan la..but I’m not one who likes to prolong sillythings.Why is it so difficult to utter an apology when clearly we’re the ones wrong?(you know,forget about the apology..I don’t need it..but I really didn’t appreciate cowardly comments!) I don’t think we should keep silent in matters like these anymore,because we never learn.Once we get away with something,it’ll grow into a bad habit!

So she’d better be thankful that I had been polite about the matter.Takkan nak tunggu for a slap on the face baru nak sedar.

What’s with the issue of what I do for a living?I believe there has been no press conference concerning such issue haha (ok..exception fr zul coz we haf occassional luncheons) so please dun speculate.

I love walking.It takes off things which cloud my mind.A bit tiring but I’d do it anyway,out of habit.I walk along shops,trying to get accustomed to the types of sales & services available so that I’d know where’s what without having to ask.Caught up in my own world - the one place where I dun have to force myself to do anything..especially,talking.

Some people like to talk.About anything and about everything,which makes even listening a tiresome task.Some people don’t like to talk,not even on work related matters (because they’re often delusional that they’re actually BUSY with their work!).The older we get,the least sense of ettiquette we seem to have - something that I’m afraid of becoming.

Each time I hear someone ripping/tearing up paper,a stabbing sensation overwhelms me.Yet no one seems to care that we waste and waste.Everytime a paper’s thrown in the wastebin I’d have to sustain the sudden urge to just pick it out.And the reports and plans that we throw..God..it makes me want to puke!!!Konsep serta maksud pemBANGUNAN mampan @ sustainable development = bangunan sahaja yang mampan

On managerial matters,I’ve consulted my ehem..’sub-superiors’

Nasihat Pegawai 3: Kalo boss nk marah ko..ko buat-buat pengsan..gerenti dia tak marah ko lagi

Nasihat Pegawai 4: Tapi kalau jd "pakwe" boss lg best..

Nasihat Pegawai 2: Kenapa nk takut..dia pun manusia maaa…(hidup tak mahu,mati segan)

Nasihat Pegawai 1: ish dia tu xde ape tu..aku saje je kasi dia can marah tu..kita kene hormat org tua..(pdhal ckp pn takut2)

Our official colour is black;"happens" to be my boss’s fav colour too.Tho a bit freakish to see her out of the monotones,it was actually a lot nicer.Tough.Sums up all about my boss.Despite the numerous cases of quiting attempts,run aways,fainting and crying by my colleagues..I think at this point she’s the only person that’s able to directly dismiss all the ABSURDITY present in our work!!This actually saves me from having to carry the excruciating burden of having to listen to all the other nonsense by other fellow ranked officers.

My brother spotted a mix.fm cruiser at the lrt where he was picking me up.The deal was clear - I was to go & get all I can (if one of us had to be the fool I guess it might as well be me..rite?).It was weird coz there were 2 cruisers with only 2 staff and NO ONE there.So I was the first one there,who eventually also kept them company (haha)..so after putting up a chat (God tht was weird!),I got sum stuff,played sum games (and lost!damn!!!) I reached home at 7pm feeling tired as hell.And today,there was fly.fm’s cruiser at the station,sadly my brother didn’t wanna stop.So that’s 2 days straight.

of war and pigs..

Malacca seems to be popular these days.Not the historic town nor local cuisines nor the locals tho (no offence) that’s gaining sudden popularity.Rather, their erm..how do we say this..sudden spool of ‘residents’..over populated/densed ‘area’.

So it’s the pig farmers against the authority.It’s like waging war against rebels,whereby you’d see uniformed officers with their shield and sticks.The way I see it,if we can’t get thru publicly and forego the ‘assasination’ operation,why not just hire snipers instead?(or do we even HAVE sharp shooters??) ha ha ha.As ridiculous as it might sound,it wouldn’t be less dramatic nor less hillarious than whatever it is that we’re actually doing now - waging war against pig activists.

Karam Singh walia..Shouldn’t he be like one of those ‘iconic Malaysians’ by now?The dun seem to be giving him as the credit that he deserves.I mean,he IS the ‘pioneer’ of various Malay idioms hah ha

and for that

So it’s done.Technically I needn’t set foot on the place where I used to be part of;again.Technically.But there are things which remains unsettled,for example the issue of clearance.Obviously I have found this task to be of time consuming & requires significant amount of patience;all of which I’m unable to provide given my present situation upon which there are no allocations for leave.

That aside,I’m generally happy with the way things have tuned out.My one year wait has proven to be a bliss in many ways.The first would be that I had been given the pleasure of being acquainted to a bunch of people who were fun (tho initially I was rather blind to see that) to work with.Studio works were never dull,not with this bunch.While some might be slightly younger than I,most were of my age.Even so I’ve always considered myself as the "older sister" (I have this weird paranoia tht I’m always the OLD one out).Tho I consider myself as such,it didn’t mean that I was holding any authority in any way.It just meant that rather than joining in on their often-outrageous plans or espionage,I’d be watching them instead (often with a hillarious feeling that I had to keep SO deep inside - frankly,it was just killing me)

But the one thing different with them was that no matter how odd I may have seemed,they still treated me no different from any other person (as appossed to the norm of being social outcasted as I’ve had experienced).In addition, might I add that they had this wonderful,wonderful sense of design.The final presentations were always a success (the boards,movie & slides were awesome).In the end it dawned upon me that,I was working better with these people.They have this bond which I thought was inexistant.And there were also,no stupid public girly fights.

Second of all,that one year wait has given us (07) the opportunity of attending our first ceremony with the greatest sense of pride.As it turns out,the constitutional head (HRH Sultan of Pahang) presented the scrolls.

So now it’s the next phase;the time where I’m having to work for a living.No more accounts filled with cash every 4 months.No more movies,bowling,karaoke during weekdays.My social life has officially died along with my sense of ‘fun’.I’m hoping that I won’t lose my sense of humour,or worse my sense all together!So for those KAEDians,who walked with me during our ‘walk of fame’ on that 25th Aug,I’d like to give my sincerest congratulations! ^_^
