The dog which I cannot put myself to love...

I really don't why...
but, I just can't put myself to loving this dog of mine..
hmm..
It reminds me very much of the velociraptor in Jurassic Park. (you know, that small dinosaur which can really run fast and fought fiercely with the T-rex?)
tsk tsk...

Talk about the year of the dog,
and I am still so mean to my poor chihuahua.
zui guo, zui guo...





See the striking resemblance though??!!
:P

看看我的新指甲！

良心发现的Bui (因为经常用不正确的字眼来形容我美丽的身影)买了一盒假指甲给我。
嘿嘿嘿！
看！

BEFORE


AFTER


CLOSE UP!


今天刚刚拆开来瞧了一瞧。
哈哈哈！
很好玩！
不过，始终没有涂上浆糊把它给贴上去。
舍不得噢。。。(呃。。。可能也是因为它是粉红色的。。。似乎太甜了吧？Bui果然有远见噢！)

然后，我发现，我的指甲真的很小耶！
得用较小号的假指甲，才可以不修边幅地贴上我的大拇指甲！

Tsk...
之后，我也仔细地观察了我的脚。
哇！骨胳很小呃!其他的，都是肉！
肉肉的，又软软的！
好胖啊！
天啊！
真的该反省反省了。。。

这么胖，怎么可能使他人相信自己是做这一行呢？
Ah Bui 说得对。
真应检讨一下自己了。

我一定会努力运动的！
至少要健康嘛。。。
而且看上去也比较有说服力。。。
对吗?
嘿嘿嘿。。。

Quarter-life crisis

Met up with my primary school pals tonite.

Wow.
These are actually the people whom I've known since I was 7.
And now, I'm almost 26 (GASPS!)!
19 long years...
Ad everyone changed.
Grew up probably.
And matured over the years.

Some are even married.
And others, are about to be married.

And then, I wonder.
What am I doing with my life when the rest of my peers are moving on with their lives?
I have no faith.
No goals (long term ones).
Nothing much that I am actually looking forward to.

Then I ponder.
Something is lacking in my life.
And I am not sure what it is.
I feel lost at times.
And always think something is amiss

Maybe it's a religion that is missing out in my life.
A faith that I can cling onto.

I think, I really am lost.

See the beautiful bride back on 19/12/05...

Peace-loving me?

I really wonder what has gone into me.

I just wanna scream at those who step in my path.
And ask them to F*** off.

And today, some of my colleagues commented that I've changed.

In fact, they told me I have become very fiery.

I ponder over what they said.
And I thought of it to be somewhat true.
It seems like time has turned back to when my JC GP teacher Ms Fernandez scolded me for displaying my defiance so openly.

And since then, I toned down.
I vaguely remembered how I was like.
Ba4 dao4 as lia would call it.
Short-tempered, she described.

But there came a time when I changed totally.
I became patient.
Considerate.
Always think from other people's perspective before I come to any conclusion.

And it worked well for the jobs I was in.
Customer service leh.
Need a lot of patience and tolerance.
So I built a wall of patience.
And even tolerance,
to fend off all the vulgar and rude complaints in my face.

And so the short-temperedness was lost.

but recently, it seemed to come back.
Everything that happens with a little unjustification makes me jump.
And I pity those who suffer with me.
Having to tolerate the "now" me is horrible.
I sulk all day,
complain all night.
Displease with anything that is not right to me.
I feel unjustifed.
So much so that I complained to my boss even.
An option I would have never picked.
Cos it's equivalent to telling her that I have some job adjustment issues.
Problems with my colleagues even.
If she did not interpret it correctly, that is.

But all I want,
is an avenue to let out my frustrations.
I just want to ventilate.

And I'll go back to being the "professional" me then.
The one who was patient and more tolerant.
The one who seemed to have no problems in her work.
Or with anyone else.

I probably just need a good break to cure my on-going fury.

SunCatcher

Last entry before I sleep.

Received a suncatcher from the infamous bui awhile back.
Contemplated hanging it on the window frame,
But fear that a sudden gush of wind would break it into pieces if it knocks on the window frame.

But keeping it in the box seems so selfish.
Its beauty and glow should be admired by people walking past on the streets.
As they walk along the streets, they'll notice a blinking star in broad daylight.
A tiny but beautiful star...
Sparkling in bright yellow and baby blue...
Glowing with a tinge of pinkish blush...
That'll brighten their dull moods...
And help remind me that good things are happening soon.

It's joy I oughta share,
but will risk chipping the suncatcher.

Bui got me to choose this suncatcher for myself.
Very clever eh?
At the moment when she asked me to help her choose,
in a tiny and warm (really warm temperature I meant) shop,
I thought she was going to buy it for her friend.

So I chose one that caught my eye.
A bright yellow star.
Which we did not take it because bui saw another one.
and it was even prettier.
A translucent star.
That appears to be yellow on white background,
and blue on black background.
Wow.
Then the sales lady told us the pink ornment will help in increasing one's ren yuan.
And we laughed at that. (private joke)

And then, when I received the gift,
it really came as a pleasant surprise.

A sweet gift it is.
Which is now hanging on the window frame.
Reminding me to believe and look forward to the good things that'll come.
That will soon come, I hope.

Give me my OFF-IN-LIEUs!!!!

All I wanna say is,

JUST F****** give me my off-in-lieus which you owe me for so long!!

What's so difficult to understand???
It's a O-F-F_I-N_L-I-E-U.
just a miserable 1.5 days loh.
Not like 1.5 years.
And no one is indispensible.
Even if I don't go to work, the place won't collapse loh.

The existence of inconsiderate people just makes things worse.
How can these people just think of themselves?
Others no parents and family ah?
Only you need to shower your family with love and care meh?
My family also need my cleaning services loh!

I got anyhow change shift just because my family need my cleaning services boh?
boh leh?!!how come har?
Oh, cos my kah ceng not itchy.

And then still got cheek go and tell others,
"oh, I change shift with xxx mah, so must take over her this shift".

WTF?!
Want to tell lie better check who you are lying to first.
Lie to a big-time LIAR?!
U think I stupid ah?!
U think your ancestor open this place ah?
Suka suka change shift here and there to fit your schedule.

My family also need my love loh!
And also $$$ to feed them ok!!
I know you probably work for every 12th ok.
But you really need to work harder loh.

Part of me also for the 12th.
But I work very very very hard.
Not only by slogging my ass off to meet the countless deadlines,
but also I make it a point not to swop shift with others.
Because I know how disruptive it can be to EVERYONE.

Then at the end of the day, what do I get?
I get this :
"I regret to inform you that your application for double promotion has been withdrawn (because you are too fat). Thank you for the attempt and we hope to hear from you again (come back only when your BMI is 25 and below). We prefer candidates who just needs to look nice in the uniform (so if you don't look presentable, don't apply hor)"

Wah liew.
And I still cannot get my off-in-lieu after all this load of crap shit.

Why?!!!!!!!!
Don't tell me because I am the lowest ranking (again?!!)!!!!

Proximity friendship

I remember when I was 12, and there's this little girl who was in my class.
And I called her "my best friend" then.
It was the "in" thing to have a best friend that time(if you are about my age, you'd know how it was like back then).
We became best friends because we lived close together, and often walked to school together.
And when the boys bully any one of the us, the other would stand up and "fight" those silly boys.
We would share our toys, go to each other's house and play, and even talk about the faraway future, where we were both in each other's picture.

But the time came when we have to leave each other because we went to different secondary schools.
And we promised to keep in touch no matter what.
Years go by, and we slowly became too consumed in our own lives that we forgot to update each other.

Another few years go by, and we totally forgotten each other's telephone numbers even.
And soon, we were no longer in contact.

We both got new friends.
New friends who are so easily reached.

In my adolescent age, I've made new friends, whom I vowed to keep them for life.
But, as we grew older and made different choices in life, our paths did not cross.
And so the story repeats itself.
But, with a happier ending.

May be, age and technology did help in a way.
We were all able to keep the contact going with emails and handphones.
And as we age, we've got fewer friends whom we can confide in.
It was no longer like when we were young and we could talk about all the naive and harmless issues with virtually anyone.

The few of us fought hard to maintain the contact.

And at times, I grew lazy.
And the contact stopped for some months.

I can't deny the fact that I am lazy,
Because there were others I can easily reach out to.
Others whom were closer.
In distance.

I recall the times when I first started working.
And these were the people revolving around my less-than-exciting-life.
But I was "close" with them.
Not because we had a lot in common and would become friends for life.
But because it was easier.

Friendships form not only because you "click" with that someone,
or have something in common with the someone.
It's sometimes the proximity.
And the someone just happened to be there.
At the right moment, at the right setting.
Then we share daily happenings, thoughts and feelings.
Bitch about others, go shopping together.
But when either of you leave the company,
the "friendship" may not last.
Because the proximity is lost.

It is often convenience that brought people together.
And it takes effort to keep it together when the proximity is no longer there.

Taking a step back and looking at the friends I am surrounded with,
they are mostly people from my workplace.
I still have friends who grew up with me, and am still in touch.
But keeping in touch is not as easy as just talking to my friends at work.
You may say, it's always just a phonecall away.
But what do you say over the phone?
When you don't even know where to begin.

It's different when you talk to friends-at-work.
They know who and what you are talking about without much elaboration.
Because we are all in the same environment.

It's this kind of proximity I enjoy.

I look back on my life and remembered the number of friends I lost to my laziness.
I eventually lost these people's contact,
along with the emotions we pumped in together then.
It was hard to sustain friendships when our paths don't cross anymore.

But it also takes effort to keep the friendship going.
From both parties.

It's ultimately the amount of effort both sides put in the friendship to ensure the sustainability when the proximity is no longer there.

But one side has to start somewhere.

And from now on,
I am gonna make sure that I will keep all the friendships going no matter the proximity.
As long as the friendship is worth keeping.

Dropster of the Century..

I am getting senile.

Ever since I started working here,
I had :

1) Dropped my handphone in a cab
2) Dropped my wallet in the cab
3) Dropped $32 in cash money when I stuffed it into my shallow pocket
4) Dropped gifts for friends in a cab.

Just what is wrong with me??!!!
Really senile and useless.

I have dropped my HP in citycab.
And the kind driver drove all the way back to my house after I called my own HP.
And he wouldn't accept any tokens of appreciation.

My wallet, while I was going to work in a comfort cab,
dropped it.
Did not even realised until my shift ended!

Then went to make police report and went through all the nuisance procedures.
but eventually got it back coz some kind souls picked it up from outside my workplace and sent my precious wallet to the police station.
All things (including cash) INTACT!
And blur me didn't even know I dropped it on cab or anywhere!

Tsk tsk.
From then on, I remain vigilant.
Careful where I place my belongings.

But ALAS!
It happened again 3 weeks back when bui and I were at gym and she passed me $32.
And I carelessly stuffed thecash into my shallow pocket.
Next time I checked,
I have upgraded my status as a "dropster"!
The $ was gone.

but it's not that big a deal.
Kept reminding myself, at least it's not $50.
kekeke.
self-consolation.

And so, the day came again when the dropster decided to establish her status once more.

This time, she drops something of more value.
Not in the monetary sense.

This is what happened on the fateful day;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dropster was on night duty and she happily took bus 39 from her house to work.
And then she decided that she would have dinner outside.
So she stopped by PASIR RIS DR 1 bus stop and went for yummy food.
On her way to the foodcourt, she saw "SWEET TALK" which sells ice blended bubble tea.
And it so happened that she's the GREEN TEA ICE BLENDED lover and will kill to have it!

She made up her mind to come back for it later.
After she had her fill at the food court, she walked back, and bought the lovely drink she yearned for, something to cheer her up and motivate her to work on a stupid Sunday night.

With a drink in hand, and a paper bag in the other,
she board a COMFORT cab which has STARHUB adverts plastered over it.
Then it happened.

Just as she took a step outta of the cab,
with the unfinished drink in her left hand,
she conveniently forgot about the paper bag she was holding on to.
And left it in the cab.

By the time she remembers the existence of this paper bag,
it was when she started work.
And the contents of the bag was something precious.
A gift shared by others for BoBo.
And a farewell/thank-you gift from bui to boss, tag with a card.

She called the useless taxi company which did not show any empathy AT ALL.
But to no avail. Cos she did not remember the taxi plate no.
So she went out to find after getting permission to take an hour's leave from work.
Just in case she left it at the foodcourt.
But it was again fruitless.
All in an attempt to retrieve the items she has been entrusted with.

She felt so bad...
And she blames herself for the folly and her stupid forgetfulness nature.
and oso her greediness for GREEN TEA ICE BLENDED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No amount of apologies can describe the guilt I am going through.
And no matter how hard I have tried,
I could not get the things back.

I am guilty.
Call me a dropster from now on.
And to punish myself,
I shall go without my fav GREEN TEA ICE BLENEDE for 1 whole week!

I AM SORRY EVERYONE!!! (just to those whom entrusted me with the items actually...)

PS: hope the person who is WEARING the watch intended for BOBO gets rotten wrist!

Blogging in a Digital Fortress

Reading back on my posts for the past weeks,
I realised that all I've been writing are mostly complaints.

And I start to think about why I keep complaining.

Is my life so tough that I need to complain so much?
Or is it that I just need an outlet to surface my displeasures?

Of course it's the latter lah.

This blog was started for my friends to know what has gone on in my life.
My thoughts.
My likes and dislikes.
My feelings.

But somehow, it has occurred to me that there are certain thoughts I cannot pen down here.
For it's such an open domain where ANYONE can read it.
ANYONE can refer to the people whom I mentioned about in the blog.
ANYONE can be the person I am complaining about in the blog.

It's such a risk to write.
Even on your own blog which we call it the "electronic diary".
Ain't diary's definition = dairy records of events, including personal thoughs and feelings?
Then?
Why is there such a risk involved?

It is weird.
We are all living in a controlled environment in this digital fortress.
And what you write may eventually be your downfall,
if you bare too much of your thoughts.
There must be a buffer.
And most bloggers know about this buffer.
What to say and what NOT to say.

We are all careful about our words.
Which is contradicting since a blog is supposed to be a diary.
Where you are safe to say what you intend to say.
But it is not totally secured.
Unless you have enough courage to face up to the consequences of penning your irresponsible/irrational feelings.

Read on more blogs to see the truth beneath.

Wah-liew!!!!!!! (A shitty post)

Went for tea session with a bunch of big-shots today.

Wah, very interesting.
Coz none of us answered exactly what was asked.
And this tea session, is supposed to be "STEPPING STONE" for double promotion.
But the "hearsays" told me that the promoted parties have actually been selected.
Thus whether or not you do well or say the right things for the session does not really matter.

But if you are the chosen one, you'd better not say the wrong things loh.

And so, the session went on.
And after the session, I think it may be true.
The way the questions were phrased, and posted to the relevant parties just shows.

Well, never mind.
Life no good, bo bian.
Can only blame parents for not putting a silver spoon in my mouth when I was borned.

Then went to work.
While walking to office, I saw old black.
And greeted her.
She nodded her head.

Then someone came along behind me.
And old black started to chat her up.
And the someone called me to come back.

I was literally not there actually.
I mean, what's the difference when you ask me to come back, but my presence is not acknowledged?
Never mind.
Being a good staff officer, I stood by.
And listened.
And answered when required.
But the condescending look I was always given makes me chilly.
Not with fear.
But with disgust.
I mean, what is it that I have done to deserve this look??
I do my job (I think I try my best to do it well),
I am never late,
And I am NEVER on MC.

Just what is wrong?
Biu told me it's because I'm too fair and have no fruity name.

Well, what can I say?
Anyway, the story goes on this way.
In the midst of their conversation(and I tried hard not to interrupt but thinking of ways to excuse myself), suddenly, I heard a question old black posted(not to me and not to us, to the someone only hor!).

Really suck blood. She said,
" So, XXX, u spoke more than YYY right?"
XXX= the someone
YYY= me.

Wah Liew~!!
what an irresponsible statement??!!!!!!!
Was she trying to tell me, "eh, get lost lah, you have no hope for being so fat, why you stand here and hinder us?"
My only consolation,
the someone gave a justified statement that everyone was given a fair bit of chance to speak up.

Yes, I know you are pushing someone to get the double promo.
I know you DEFINITELY favour her more than me.
But, just what is it that I have done that you are not happy with??
Just say lah!

So, I went off feeling very LL.
And decided to shut my mouth for the rest of the time while I was in there listening to the two of them tell each other how well the session went for someone.

Yes, maybe, the someone is gonne be emplaced.
So?
what's the big deal?
If I stay on for a few more years, I'll get it eventually.
What's the F****** deal?!
It's not as if I need the emplacement to stay on.
And if I stay on, it's not because of such shallow reasons!
(but if I leave, ya, mayb it's because I have not been promoted after a long time :P)

Biu told me if the someone got it, it's not surprising.
Y?
Cos of the IPPT. The BMI. The award the someone gotten.
And not forgetting the opportunities and work that the someone has been given.

It then occur to me that I had been battling with the someone.
And it's a rather senseless fight.
Coz I've already lost at the start.
When my degree didn't say "social work", nor "psychology".
When my IPPT didn't get gold.
When I chose to keep quiet and appear meek and timid at the start of my career.

It's just that I haven't faced up to reality all the time.
I am in denial!!!
Or maybe, filtering facts to delude myself all the time!
Sigh~
It's tiring to go on such a losing battle.

Biu also said I am too fat and need to bring down my BMI for a better future.
And that I am too "bu nu li".
'Coz fat people always appear as "LAZY", "SLOW" and "NO SELF-DISCIPLINE".

And now is the time for acceptance.
By acceptance, I do not mean that I think I am in any way less capable than the someone.
I am just more tolerant and put up with nonsense.
More mature(aiya, still in denial) and choose not to whine when bad things happen.
Observe required protocol when I see someone who deserves my respect.
But that's in the past.

From now on, I resolved to change.
I am not gonna tolerate the nonsense given to me.
I have my pride.
My dignity.
I no longer wanna appear meek and weak and let people step all over me.

If you wanna treat me the way you have,
Jolly well shoot!!!!!

And don't regret!

To add-on to my resolution list :
Er...well, I will also bring down my BMI for a brighter and healthier future loh!!!
Not only because I want promotion, but also because I want to be HEALTHY!

Afternote :

I thank the BIUS for not waking my idea up sooner 'cos it would have been a blow to my already-battered-ego.
I appreciate that they are there to listen to my nonsensical complaints after things like this happened.
I am grateful that there is a JC-boxercise class tomorrow for me to KILL!!!

God still left me with good friends even after all my evil complaints :P

Yum Yum! and Ouch ouch!

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!!

Went to geylang for supper with the fatties the night before!!!
so fun!!!

We went to this dim sum shop at geylang, then,
yum yum yum!

not that the dim sum was fantastic,
Just that the company was great!!

I was still grouchy from last night's lack of zzz,
that I juz stop talking altogether because I was so tired.
And the fatties made me go to the gym with them.
On a public holiday's eve leh!
Wah!
These fatties really have no life ah!

but they were waiting so patiently for my shift to end so that we can go gym together that I decided to "pang sair" bobo and ms ice piano to go have dinner...

After our gym, we went for dim sum...
and then, DURIANS!!
It's the first time I had durians at Geylang in the middle of the night.
I mean, it's actually the first time I went to sit down and eat durian at a stall!
So fun!
then,xp saw this big fat mango (that probably remind her of herself)
and she wanted to have a bite of it.
So we ordered the $5 giant Aussie mango, and a $5 D24 durian!
Yum!!!
Zhen hao chi..

but now, I am suffering from ulcers~~

ouch ouch!!

Updates on the intercom and phone...and me!

Before I forget, just let me add that there is also the presence of another communication device that also haunted me together in the previous episode.

The Walkie-Talkie.
Darn.
*fainted* (but have to wake up from the coma since I have so many things to do!)

Okay...
So things got a little better after I voiced out.
At least I can see the attempts being made.
And I am truly appreciative of the attempts made by her.

She can really be so sweet at times that it's hard to blame her for her lack of initiative.

Yup, she does not like what she has to do, but she understands it's her responsibility.
And she admits to avoiding her responsibilities.
For it's too big a cup of tea for her to swallow.
But she has finally chosen to pick up her tabs! (and even offered to pick up mine too!)

I empathise with her situation.
And I am most willing to help her whenever she needs it.
But she must do something about her pro-activeness.
Because I won't know what she dunno and will resort to spoonfeeding her.
And I dun function this way too.
Especially since I am rather depressed of late.

Sigh~

Today, another episode just left me even more depressed again :(
I think I need to get out of where I work soon.

With squeaks squeaking non-stop in my ears showing off what kinda major work my big boss has tasked her, it juz makes me feel more worthless than ever if I continue to stay.

Not that I yearn for more work, but I just feels worthless and unappreciated if this goes on.

再这样下去, 只会让我继续践踏自己的自尊。

Posting to General Office as SO GO may be a good option afterall hor, ah buis?
kekeke...

Plus my working relationship with Ms Ka is not a good sign for me to stay put.
It's like there's an invisible wall between us.
But hack, not as if we are going to be friends.

Tsk...
this is just another of my "unfortunate" post to illustrate my pathetic work life.

Afternote on the long tormented toe nail...(A DISGUSTING ENTRY)

TMD!!!!

The prosthetic nail fell off!!!!!
And it even hurts a bit when it did!!
It was dangling on my nail bed 3 days back,
And I got a shock seeing that as the nail technician told me hers stayed for months!
(While mine stayed for less than a week!)
W-T-H!!!!!!

Then I struggled.
Should I pull it off?
'Cause otherwise it will cause more pain and agony if I accidentally kick my long suffering toe against the front of my boots and hit it at the cuticle.
But, it's hanging on to a small bit of flesh that I have.
And it'll probably cause a bit of "ouch" if I juz pull it off.
Struggle.
Arghh.

Then I went on to remove it (coz it realllyyyy looks so disgusting!!! Imagine, a fake nail hanging off a small bit of flesh and is 90% detached from the nail bed, and u can actually flip open the prosthetic nail to see the underlying bed).

And then came OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH.
Am going back to HOLLYWOOD NAILS to screw the nail technician upside down.
And I saved the disgusting fake nail to throw it at her face!
:-S

me and the intercom and the phone

This is an entry abt me.
And the intercom.
And the phone.
And me again.
And then phone.
And then intercom.
And then me.
And then intercom.
... ...

My work(since wee left) is to answer these 2 devices.
Only I will answer.
Not because I am the only one in the office.
Not because I love my ex-job as a call centre customer rep still.
But because, no one else answers them.
I dunno why.
Actually I do know.
But I can't say much over such a public domain.
And I don't wanna hurt the feelings of those I call "friends".

So I swallowed everything hard and fast.

For the past two days, I spent my time at work saying :
X over the intercom : "Hello?"
Me : "Send"
X over the intercom: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
then comes ringggggg~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me to the intercom:"Can you hold on? I get the phone(which has been ringing-umpteen-times-and-no-one-seemed-to-want-to-pick-it) first."
Me: "Hello?"
Y over the phone : "YYYYYYYY"
Me to the intercom : "Can I call u back? i got sth impt to settle first"
Me over the phone : "ZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
Then, a moment later
X over the intercom : "Hello?"
Me to the intercom : " Send"
Me to the phone : " Hello? u hold on first, I answer the intercom"
Me to the intercom : "ya, okok u wait."
Me to the phone : " So ok har, bye"
Me to the intercom :" ok,ya, u juz do this and that.... ok?bye"
juz then....
RINGGGGG~~~
Me to the phone :" Hello??"

Arghhh. This went on for as long as I can remember.
My frustrations.

I try to think from their perspectives

Maybe they thought I answered already mah.
Maybe I was too fast in answering the intercom since I sat next to it.
Maybe I just wanna complain.

Argghhhh.
Things have changed so much since fatty left the office.
It's worse than the time when she went Sri Lanka to eat big fat oily crabs.
It's like it's better to be alone (since u know u are alone and can't do anything about it).

With people in the office and not helping much, maybe it's better that they are not there even, since it does not make any differences??!!

I think I complain too much.
I think I want too much too.
And maybe I am just in a foul mood.
I remember I wished I was given a partner back then, to talk to, and even if it means she does no work.
Now I am given partnerS, I complain too much.

I am so bloody hard to satisfy.
I hate myself!

So today, I really cannot take it lying down, and I spoke up.

I said.
I really can't take this anymore.
This has gotta stop.
I can't be the only one in the office answering all the calls, and dealing with every potential problem while u girls sit there and tell me u have not much to do.
When I have so much to do instead.

I need to have a breather.
I can't carry on this way answering every call.
Of course they won't look for you.
Especially when you appear as if u are actually NOT in the office by not answering the call.
Of course they'll juz look for me cos I am the only one answering "SEND!"
This has gotta stop.

And I am glad I got it off my chest.
Whether or not it sinks in, I dunno.
I just hope that it somehow will help them wake up their idea.
If it doesn't, I'll just have to do it myself loh.
What's new anyway?
Made my point.
It's their decision whether to take it up or not.

At the end of the day, they'll still be my friends,
whom just don't qualify as GOOD COLLEAGUES only.

Meetings!

Ever heard of the song, 野人会议?

It's a lovely Chinese song about how redundant meetings are.
And also how the people in the meetings are like.
Like a "barbarian", pretending to be civilised in every way when they are not.
In an attempt to appear civilised, they actually exposed their barbaric nature.

That's what a lot of us are doing everyday.

Ineffective people in unproductive meetings.

Not that the people are really ineffective, just that putting these people together too frequently in what we term as "meetings" make them inefficient.

Because they have to attend THE meetings.

And neglect their core job functions and exhaust precious working hours!!!
