you have the right to remain silent…

Monday, August 18th, 2008

anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law..Silence.Silence is golden?or Silence is ignorance?

So many weird or funny things have been happening.Let me take you through a brief journey…A circular from the federal..some time in 1994 suppossedly should’ve made it’s way to where it was "intended to go".YET..it’s 2008,again I’ve checked & checked rechecked & rechecked..they keep telling me there’s still no such ammendment.So then tell me why was the bloody thing put up on a webpage ending  with ".gov.my" on it?Other than me,there’s only another person who SEEMS to know the provision I was talking about…it’s 34 A

funny?wait..it gets better….

A project being tabled over and over and OVER again..I’ve no idea why because it was already clear during the 1st meeting that it wasn’t going to get approval..(is this some sort of feigned ‘hope’ they’re trying to give?letting us ‘down’ gently eh?or probably unfamilliar usage to the noun "no"?)

Approach by the erm..newly electeds..can sometimes be ridiculous. Not only on the comments, suggestions made but also on the ‘approach’ itself…really..they should try & get use to their new role as public figures & stop acting like a ‘civillian’.Engaging in activities like picketing and holding up placards of discontents isn’t they way to go..that was the civillian way..but once you’ve been elected why can’t you exercise the power that has been vested?(& I don’t mean this in the manner of dictatorship nor with personal interest)..What I’d in mind was discussions..it’s where we all try to be professional & deal with matters in a very civil way..by communicating.

Stop blinding your thoughts with thoughts of everything can be simplified…once you’re in my shoes you’d know..the hierarchy, the bureaucracy that comes with it..the broken communications in between..& the ‘ignorance’ that’s rooted so deep that it becomes habitual.Changes take time.Changes need enforcement.Sadly not many of us would like to be the enforcer..rather the ‘talker’..Talk is cheap!

sticks & stones won’t break my bones

August

4 more months till the year’s up.I’ve still got my load of work..and..my load of ‘leave’.I’ve only taken 3 days off work so far…and still entitled to another 30 days off.Wish I could sell em off since I definitely won’t be enjoying any of it anytime soon.

I don’t see the relevance in taking leave because I won’t know what to do during “leave” (aside from sleeping it off).That being said,I’m bloody tired of work and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want some time off.But I can’t..due to the simple fact that I have too much to do in so little time (since my boss has taken the kind innitiative to “book” my calender FOR me).Yes,I have my whole month planned out.This is what we call, the first phase.By the time the second phase arrives,I’ll have my whole year all planned out for me.Smashing..just smashing…hip..hip..horrayyy…

Incompetence,greed,ignorance and jealousy seems to be in the air…all rounded up in form of cold wars and exchanging crude remarks.Each day my lungs inhale the suffocating pollution of office politics.I just hope my soul doesn’t get darker by the day.

Time away.Either that or just away for good.

Lesen Pusat Hiburan

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

..merupakan perkara pertama yang seharusnya diteliti sekiranya berkunjung ke pusat hiburan.Tetapi harus diingat bahawa pusat hiburan yang mempunyai lesen hiburan tidak semestinya akan terlepas dari serbuan pihak berkuasa tempatan memandangkan jenis aktiviti yang dilakukan akan tetap diambilkira (bagi memastikan aktiviti yang dijalankan mematuhi seperti yang tertera pada lesen)

It’s kinda funny when you think about it..I mean..license?really?who the hell cares?But we sure did.Just imagine should a bus full of people like us being ‘towed’ away…there won’t be anyone left in my department on Monday..hah hah ha..

We came in our official bus.Thank God we weren’t in any uniforms nor official clothings.It was my first experience it those VIP kinda suites.The room was bloody big.There was a long couch,tv,pool table,bar stools and table,2 rest rooms and a small private room.The purpose?purely for karaoke.It was even better since we had the pool table so we could kill time while waiting our turn to sing (in the end,I wasn’t all that hyped to sing..pool was better).

The room was enough to accommodate all 40 of us.We all knew each other (well…almost!).It was outside office hours..and everyone..became..themselves..Their ‘normal’ self.No protocols…none of that professional attitude required.Everyone was an equal..except for the big BOSS a.k.a my HOD of course.

Told my staff ‘you needn’t put on that surprised expression’.Just cause I look a lil bit “different”,doesn’t mean I didn’t know what ‘entertainment outlets’ were.Sure I went to karaoke and played pool..I’ve never denied it.I just never mentioned them.So now,they’ll probably look at me a little bit differently…but so what?They’re bound to know sooner or later…………………………….
