I Love My Job.. Not

My line of work requires me to deal with the authorities quite often as I need to chase for approvals, submission status..’angkat angkat’ the fella.. make him/her happy (perform strip dance if forced to haha! ) When we have few projects running, I’ll need to call them up. Typical conversations with them will be:

Scenario One :

Me : Hello, Selamat pagi, boleh sambungkan saya ke bahagian xxxx?

Operator : Encik tunggu sebentar..

Me : Ok.

En. A : Hello, Bahagian xxxx.

Me : Ya, selamat pagi encik, boleh saya bercakap dengan Tn. B?

En. A : Tunggu sebentar saya sambungkan.

Me : Ok. (waiting)

tut tut.. tut tut… tut tut tut tut tut tut… (the line goes off)

Me : Ma chee bye…

Scenario Two:

Early in the morning, about 8.30 like that..

Me : Hello, selamat pagi. Saya call dari perunding X, nak check status kelulusan pelan untuk projek tetuan Y, Pn.  D ada?

Pn. Z : Pn. D belum masuk lagi. Telefon balik nanti.

Me : Ok. Terima kasih

30 mins later,

Me : Hello, boleh saya bercakap dengan Pn. D?

Pn. H : Pn. D keluar sarapan. Baru je keluar

Me : Tak apa, saya call balik nanti.

Another 15 mins

Me : Hello, Boleh saya bercakap dengan Pn. D?

Pn. C : Pn. D sudah keluar inspection encik.

Me : …. Er, Ada contact no. dia tak? Handphone no?

Pn. C : Maaf encik. Kita tak ada. Encik boleh hubungi dia di talian ext. XXX

Me : Saya dah cuba call dia banyak kali, ada pegawai lain yang saya boleh refer?

Pn. C : Tak ada encik. Memang Pn. D saja jaga kawasan ni.

Me : Tak apa lah, saya telefon balik nanti.

Afternoon, after lunch,

Me : Hello, Pn. D ada?

En. K : Pn. D mc hari ni. Boleh telefon balik esok?

Me : cheebuy..! $#_$(X^^)_~!(*&)(0-!~

Yeah, it is damn frustrating trying to get hold of the officers. And they are farking outdated species which doesn’t own a mobile phone? (not that I believe that, but when I asked, they never want to give their number, so I have no choice but to call the office line) Many times, after trying the whole day, I couldn’t reach the officer, and the next day I called, the officer on leave, for 2 weeks. Pfftttt…. And nobody take over her work/file. The typical response will be ‘Saya tak tahu… (Our PM always use this line…to the fullest) Encik kena tunggu dia balik.. And the client was chasing my butt off for his project status..

Spitting On The Wrong Side

Samyvellu appeared quite often in the news last few days. The things with M. Kayveas and PPP, then the demolition of Indian temple issue, and latest news from him, he said there will be no Deepavali open house this year. I guess he’s not that happy with his party’s big bro not stopping their meeting during Deepavali to show some respect to the Indian community. It’s ok, Uncle Samy.. let’s have a good time, hear some jokes first ya??

“When Samy Value completed 25 years of his role as a politician over M’sia, he wanted a special postage stamp issued, with his picture on it. He insisted the stamp to be of international quality. When the stamps were duly released, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and become furious. He called the chief of the Secret Service and ordered him to investigate the matter. The chief checked the matter out at several post offices, and then reported on the problem to Samy Value.

He said: “Sir, the stamp is really of international quality. The problem is, our citizens are spitting on the wrong side!!”

Sekian terima kasih….

Umno Members Stand To Win Prizes Totalling RM5.25 Mln

General

November 04, 2007 22:49 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 (Bernama) — At the Umno General Assembly next week, party members registered as voters with the Election Commission (EC), will stand to win prizes totalling RM5.25 million.

Umno executive secretary Datuk Husainay Hashim told Bernama this today.

He also said that Umno members who had registered with the EC would also receive membership cards. Umno had issued 2.8 million membership cards and would deliver them to those who had registered with the EC tomorrow, he said.

“For Umno members who have yet to register, we will provide the facility for them to do so during the assembly and the membership card will be made for them,” he said.

He also said that during the assembly, national spacemen Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha and Dr Mohd Faiz Khaleed would present a flag to Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

This is damn farked up man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s our money!!! Fark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why every time farking time we need to farking dangle the carrot for Malaysians to do or accomplish something for their own good? Tiu.. And why the farking party still come up with this kind of thing when we try to eliminate this stupid culture of doing things only when there’s incentives and prizes?? This is very wrong. This will send wrong signals to people out there but thanks to some morons, they will have this ‘lottery’ thing going on during the party assembly. That’s an achievement, in a true Malaysia Boleh sense, or should I say Umno Boleh??

To register as a voter is your farking responsibility as a Malaysian, and for me I will feel damn farking insulted if someone try to pay or offer some prizes/incentives to me for doing just that. But, some people just have no shame.. I guess.. Pftttttt!!!

p/s: Sheeessshhh!! What the space clowns doing at the Umno assembly, there are representing Malaysia or Umno??

Seven Wonders Of Malaysia

Received this in my email, since I got nothing to crap lately might as well post this haha! No idea who wrote this in the1st place. If you know, please tell me so I can acknowledge the writer properly

SEVEN WONDERS OF MALAYSIA

Organisers have recently announced that they have elected the seven new wonders of the world. The finalists include Great Wall of China and Taj Mahal. Not to be outdone here in Bolehland, our Prime Minister follows up with an announcement of our very own 7 wonders.

1. THE ZAKARIA ‘PALACE’

The only building built with no approval and unpaid assessment fees that is not demolished and sealed. The owner is the first bankrupt to be able to own a palace.

2. THE ‘BOCOR’ PARLIAMENT

The unique feature is its ability to ‘leak’ away billions of taxpayers money while the guardians of the nation stood there all wet.

3. ‘UNHAUNTED’ KUCHING PRISON

The only $600M prison in this world that is free of haunted stories and encounters. Reasons No execution was done here before. In fact no prisoners were held in here. There are also no concrete walls with barbed wires to contain souls – both dead and alive. Maybe it can qualify as the first imaginary prison built with real money.

4. PAYA INDAH ‘WASTED’ WETLANDS

The nation’s premier eco-tourism park holds the record in the category of attracting more lawyers with litigation than tourists with binoculars.

5. ‘NOT SO’ SMART TUNNEL

Uniquely design to alleviate floods. When completed, it does everything except alleviate floods.

6. ‘DISCONNECTED’ CYBERJAYA

The one and only high tech city in the world that offers limited or no internet connection to its residents.

7. CROOKED ‘CROOKED’ BRIDGE

The most crooked bridge in the world dreamt by the most crooked person in the world. Too bad it was abandoned; otherwise it will make it as one of the wonders.

There are other entries that make the writer ‘wondering’, but fall short to qualify as one of seven wonders in the writer’s mind. An extra:

‘ABSCONDING’ BRICKENDONBURY FACILITY

Extremely well-planned facility to prepare young athletes for the Summer Olympics in a winter country. Too bad it is located overseas, thus automatically disqualifying it as one of Bolehland’s wonders.

STFU, dumbass!!

I couldn’t contain my disgusts when I read the article by Mr. Wong Chun Wai for today’s The Star On The Beatcolumn. I quote some parts for his article, with came across as smack of arrogance to me.

“Umno leaders are well aware that they cannot afford a repeat of last year with the elections in the horizon. Not that the anti establishment sentiments in the urban areas will hurt Umno. Not even a bit, as Umno is probably at its strongest, despite what has been written in the blogs“

“What Muhammad did not say bluntly was this – if you want to teach Umno a lesson, forget it, you can’t and, instead, you would just end up punishing the MCA or Gerakan“

“The Chinese community has always wanted the best of both worlds – the MCA to represent them in government and to handle their problems and the opposition to shout for them“

Mr.Wong Chun Wai, you are an editor for a mainstream media, but the way you write, most of the time you sounds like an ass kissing dog writing for its political master. Shame on you. And who are you to speak on behalf on the Chinese, that the Chinese only prefer MCA to represent them in government? And, I do not agree with the notion that only a Chinese representative can serve the interest of the Chinese, or only an Indian should represent the Indians in parliament or only a Malay can take care of his people interest. It is people like you bordering on the racism harping on communal politics, we are still suspicious of each other after 50 years we Merdeka. You are old already, STFU already..  Go get your Datuk title or whatever if you want and stop writing in any mainstream papers. Please… save us from your bigoted views.. you are so yesterday..

Pragmatic? My Ass…N Apple Red

Do you notice that, we Chinese love to complain? If you read Chinese newspaper, (which I don’t because I am a farking banana! I only speak the language, cannot read and write except for my own name and some common words), you will read about reports, articles complaining about this and that, everything under the sun. And if you talk to your Chinese friends, they will complain about the traffic, the road, the food, the price and their favourite topic is the government. How corrupt the government, the police, the civil servants and they could talk about it forever. Bluntly said, we have here an apathetic community that keeps whinging about how badly they are discriminated against but are not proactive about improving their lot. They only “jaga periuk nasi sendiri’. When you ask them what they are going to do about it? Most of them, it is safe to say 90% of them will reply ‘What to do.. cannot do anything about it lah..As long as we can cari makan ok lah..Better stay out of troubles and wait for a change to migrate.” And they will continue to tell you that Chinese are pragmatic people, down to earth. ‘Why waste time fighting for something that you couldn’t change’ And they will add in something along the line ‘At least the Chinese concentrate on survival’.

So what is ‘pragmatic’?? I think it’s a bombastic word, but it means nothing but… it is just another word for ‘gutless’ or ‘going with the flow for the sake of survival’. Which also can be said that, pragmatic is also another way of saying.. ‘got no balls’..or ‘pussified’. It’s time to stop being a pussy and start playing balls.. yes, you!

Sekian, terima kasih…

p/s : Saw this at Cibol’s blog, so I pun ngegeh want to do.. Ceh.. Me, apple red juga??

You Are Apple Red

You’re never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you’re a ton of fun. And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial. Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people – to understand them well. However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you.

What Color Red Are You?

Wake up, wake up!

I will let you read what an Aussie has to say about Malaysia since I always get this “It seems like Malaysians are good at bashing their our people and always critical of our government.” Read it and form your own opinion. You may say the writer has his agenda, and repeat the world against Malaysia shit. (who the fark care about Malaysia nowadays? We are so damn perasan lahhhhhh!)

Sure we hope what Michael Backman wrote is not true, but do you ever think that, what if some of it are true? Truth hurts, so we choose to ignore it and pretend happy. After all it has nothing to do with us right? What more important is we still can cari makan, peaceful, we still better off than Ghana, and it is not very good trying to disrupt the racial harmony talking about things like this eh?? What the fark expressing disappointment with your leaders has to do with racial unity? When lah we want to wake up from our slumber mode and start thinking, what the fark is going on?

‘Malaysia’s PM seems to be failing his people at every chance’
by Michael Backman
The Age
Otcober 24, 2007

ON OCTOBER 31, Abdullah Badawi, Malaysia’s Prime Minister, will have been in office for four years. Abdullah came to office promising to fight corruption and to be a breath of fresh air. He has failed on both counts.

But he has achieved one remarkable feat none of his predecessors could: he has united most of his country’s
elder statesmen, established businessmen and intellectuals.

They are united in their utter dismay at his performance, a point that many such individuals made to me on a recent visit to Malaysia.

The despair is compounded by the near impossibility of getting rid of Abdullah.

Before 1987, anyone who wanted to challenge the president of the ruling UMNO party (and hence prime minister), needed to get endorsements from just two divisions of UMNO. Previous prime minister Mahathir Mohamad had that changed after his finance minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah challenged him for the leadership and almost won.

Would-be challengers must now acquire the endorsement of 30 per cent, or 58, of 191 divisions. This means that the prime minister’s office needs to pay off fewer than 150 division heads with government contracts and licences to ensure their support.

Critics within UMNO are anaesthetised by patronage and sadly the Prime Minister probably thinks that he is doing a good job because his inner circle constantly tells him he is. He is their ticket to riches, after all.

Ramadan has just ended and once again Malaysia has been treated to the spectacle of government ministers and other officials fasting and playing the pious Muslim on the one hand and stealing from their fellow Malaysians on the other.

Abdullah has had three chances in recent times to show that times have changed in Malaysia and to clearly assert his authority when presented with examples of such theft. He has blown each one.

The first was when it emerged that his Trade Minister, Rafidah Aziz, had handed out to her relatives, government officials and former officials hundreds of lucrative licences to import cars – without any clear procedures or transparency. A good leader would have fired Rafidah immediately. She is still there.

Another opportunity arose with revelations by the auditor-general last month of fraud and corruption in government purchasing. Some of the more flagrant abuses were at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs. It had wasted millions on purchases such as paying 224 ringgit ($A75) for sets of screwdivers worth 40 ringgit, or 1146 ringgit for a 160 ringgit pen set.

More seriously, the ministry’s head, who had the authority to approve contracts worth less than 5 million ringgit, was found to have approved contracts for almost 450 million ringgit. The ministry claimed that the then minister and now Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussein had written a letter of authority for the purchases but this disappeared during auditing. Despite all this occurring under Hishammuddin’s watch, he remains in the cabinet.

The third incident relates to an ongoing scandal at the Port Klang Free Trade Zone – Port Klang is Malaysia’s main shipping port. Essentially, the port authority was forced by well-connected individuals to buy far more land than planned for the free trade zone and at highly inflated prices, even though it could have compulsorily acquired the land, literally saving billions.

This and development costs, and “professional fees”, blew out the total cost for the zone from 1.845 billion ringgit to 4.2 billion ringgit. It is a scam of outrageous proportions and is just the sort of thing that is turning foreign investors off Malaysia in their droves.

Rather than make arrests, the Government is using taxpayers’ funds to bail out the authority. The auditor-general tipped off the responsible minister (a term I use loosely) – Chan Kong Choy, the Transport Minister – about the problems, as did a foreign partner in the zone, but Chan ignored the warning. Has Abdullah fired Chan? Of course not. Has the previous minister Ling Liong Sik been questioned by the police? Of course not.

These three instances were good opportunities for Abdullah to show his ministers who is boss. Well, he certainly did that.

One might ask what on earth the Finance Minister has been doing in the face of all this waste and theft. Or, indeed, even who is the Finance Minister? Extraordinarily, it is Abdullah. In a break with tradition, he occupies that post as well as being Prime Minister. The firings should start with him.

After all, it’s not as if Malaysia has a shortfall of ministers. On the contrary, Malaysia has no fewer than 72 ministers and deputy ministers at the federal level. By way of comparison, Australia has 32 ministers and assistant ministers. Is the quality of public administration in Malaysia more than twice as good as in Australia? Let the facts speak for themselves.

Malaysia is truly at a cross-roads. It has many good people with great potential but it is slipping beneath the waves of mediocrity, weighed down by officials intent on an orgy of plunder while the ship’s captain stands idly by.

The process of government needs to be dramatically and urgently overhauled. Malaysia needs a dynamic, strong visionary leader who is up to the task. Instead, it has Abdullah Badawi.

SAW IV

Wow, I never thought that a post lamenting that you are a boring person could receive so much comments! And yet, my previous post here received many comments from people that normally don’t or never before in this blog, and sudden increased of potential ‘fans’. Ha! ha! ha! Anyway thanks people~! Maybe due of the nature of my posts that are mostly bit too controversial or deemed ‘political’ in some sense, some of you may choose not to leave any comment.

Yup, during a meet up with some blogger friends, they told me my posts are bit too heavy and they have no idea how to response to that. I guess I write for my own pleasure most of the time so I don’t really bother about the hits or what shits but it is good to receive some feedback from somebody out there reading your craps, don’t you think? And that is why you see I post when I want to, without following a regular pattern like every one week one post or things like that. But I try to post up something every now and then so that you know that I am still alive and kicking some asses!

Lot of things happened last week. Some very important decisions were made and I maybe will share with you guys when it permits. No, I am not getting married, if that is what you think. Yesterday night I went out for a friend’s birthday party at Poppy, JalanP. Ramlee. It was the first night outing at club after last Christmas? Or was it cocktail party MW Sauber Paddock Lounge in April? The thing is I seldom party Many do not believe me when I said that. Do I look like a party animal? Lol.. Most of the time, I only go out when my friends asked me to. Normally in the event of friend’s birthday, a far, a friend from far came down for a visit or there are shits to celebrate we will gather and us being young and boring… always end up patronizing bars and clubs. Hehe.. I have no idea why. I never be the organiser so far. If I am the organiser, maybe I will come up with fresher and more creative ideas such as going to the zoo or bashing up mat rempits. Hahah!

So back to the birthday bash last night, it was fun, the atmosphere was great! We had our photos taken, mostly us in intoxicated state. I don’t have the photos yet, hopefully when I get hold of those photos, I will remember to post it here. Oh, blardy Cibol called up in the middle of me gyrating around sexy ladies just to let me know he was also partying in his town across the South China Sea. (Bintulu la… that crappy dead town haha! Hey I love Bintulu weh.. no offence.) After the club outing, we still managed to pay a visit to a mamak stall and I still downed a plate of maggi goreng in my intoxicated state. Tasteless I must say. Reached home at 4am, lepak down my condo and few of us (all batang..) talked kok. As usual the favorite topics were country bashing, race bashing, people bashing.. haih. Only went to bed at5am and woke up 11am. What a way to start my weekend!!

Enough with the inane ramblings of how I spent my Friday night wasting myself. Let’s talk about movie! Yes, SAW IV is out~! On theater 26th October. Due to the popularity and success of the previous installments- SAW, SAW II and SAW II, I think this one will also be a hit with the fans. I had watched SAW film series and I love it very much. Not for the gores and the cruel ways of torturing and dying in the films, but the complexities of the story lines, the way all the characters interconnected and related, the plot is just damn good. You will watch it to the end without leaving your seat

SAW started as a low budget horror movie in 2004, a brainchild of two Australian film-school grads, James Wan (who co-wrote the story and directed) and Leigh Whannell (who wrote the script and co-starred). The concept is not something very new, if you have watched Se7en (one of my favorite flick as well), this unassuming, low-budget (under $1 million) slasher-cum-serial killer mystery-thriller flick stunned Hollywood in 2004 when it came out of nowhere to gross over $50 million! And the rest is history. The first sequel SAW II released a year after that in October 2005, followed by SAW III in October 2006. Each of the sequel is better than before. The trilogy is one of very few film series where each new film has earned more than its predecessor. The other film series that I know is The Lord of the Rings series.

(stupid looking puppet mask in SAW. Wear it when you jam to the song Master of Puppet by Metallica. Sure farking cool!)

(SAW Trilogy box set cover)

(SAW pig head mask. Er.. you can put this on to surprise your loved ones.. maybe a hot, dirty role-play session bwahahaha!)

I think the appeal of the SAW films is the plot of the story. It is a dark, badass, dirty little horror movie about a demented killer who is arranging a theatre of the macabre with the expressed purpose of teaching his victims the value of their comfortable lives by giving them a taste of just how painful and terrifying life can be when all control and sense and reason is lost. After watching the films, I think that the main attraction is the series of moral questions its core concept raises that fascinate me. Immediately after finished watching SAW III, I suspected they will come out with another sequel and yes, SAW IV is in theaters!! And I spent my time today reading the reviews on SAW IV, refreshed my memories and man, I cannot wait to see it! Check out these few sites for the information on SAW IV or just do not visit the sites if you do not want to know the details just yet Better to watch it to know the story yeah! Spoiler alert!!

The Official Website and Fan Club

SAW IV

Wiki

So, if you dig horror movies, real horror movies you should most certainly add Saw to your library. (Eh I just noticed this sounds a bit like those Pay Per Post adverts bwahahaha! Yeah, I promote SAW and they will give me a saw.. if you believe me.. kah! kah! kah!) Anyone up for a movie treat? Don’t think this will be showing in Malaysia’s cinemas anyway.. have to wait for Uncle Ho’s dvd lah…

-_-||

“Dumb farkers, please stop forwarding stupid crap nonsense messages to me. You dumb fark!! I don’t farking care if friendster is going to be closed down or what. Even if it’s real your pathetic attempts at forwarding the message will not help. Pfft!!”

“But, sorry to retards..

retards = those who love to forward stupid messages such as friendster is closing down, send this farking message to x number of person so you will get laid the next day, this is so cute you must read it, send this pathetic story around for a good farking cause so some asshole will donate some money, spam the bulletin board.. You don’t have better things to do? Get a dog heh?

So, retards.. stay away! To the rest.. pretty sweet things.. you are much welcome. Come to me, give me some love.. muahahahaha! “

I put that at my friendster profile. Yet, without fail everyday I still receive dumb chain messages which is pretty damn annoying. What is wrong you people? I can accept some corny butt jokes or some fetish porn stuffs but I really do not like stupid forwarded messages. If you are cute, then you are cute no more in my eyes if you did that to me. It is a waste of time for me to click on your message and delete it, which I can use to play Warbook, writing a crappy blog post, reading my friends’ blogs, downloading movies..

Do you guys like forwarded messages? How you deal with it? Should I spam their inbox with their own messages? Erk.. that will make me one of them and it’s a waste of time, which I can use to play Warbook, writing a crappy blog post, reading my friends’ blogs, downloading movies..

I was chatting with a friend just now. I said I want to write something in my blog but I am clueless of what to write. She told me why don’t you write about yourself.. your hobbies, your dreams, your friends, your personality.. I replied her “I have none. I’m boring”. Then she told me to write about just that. “I have no dreams. I am boring.” Okay, that is it. The end of this pointless post. Thank you for your time.

Friday Blues…

It’s Friday night!! Just a simple post, not really a post.. something I plagiarised from Friendster’s bulletin. Muahahaha!

“Riding in a taxi doesn’t make you a taxi driver just as riding in a plane doesn’t make you a pilot. Using this logic, riding in a rocket doesn’t make you an astronaut. Were the animals (chimpanzees & dogs) first sent to space before men by the russians termed astronaut??”

Think about it. Sorry to spoil your dream about being an astronaut..

Updated : Cibol posted his piece of shit here. Give him some bashing will you? Haha!
