Last Post of Year 2010

There there. Today marks 2 months since my last entry. It’s been busy 2 months for me. Reason behind?? Read on and you shall know. It’s about fucking time that I provides you all with the latest “developments” of the happenings in my workplace, as well as my personal life. Not that you all are interested to know, but heck, that’s the title of this fucking blog, ladies N’ gentlemen.

Went through few changes since my last entry. Let’s see.

A senior in my current team has moved on to another department pursuing career advancement. Instead of us missing her, it’s more like she missing us more. ‘cos of the fact that there’s absolutely no time for her to talk rubbish & unnecessary stuff in her new workplace. From what I heard, her new workplace is kinda falling behind on some portfolios and they’re working their butt off even on weekend to clear those work. Then again, it’s just words that I gathered. Do not fucking quote me on this.

The black short dimwit that I swapped with has finally gotten himself confirmed in early December. Don’t ask me how, don’t ask me why. The only one that can have a say in all these is Motivator himself. I’ve no fucking idea what has the black short dimwit done during his 2 months’ time over in the opposite team to earn himself a permanent status in current employment, but seriously, I’m still dumbfounded but the fact of that. None of us could really believe it when the news broke out. Here’s the thing, a person that speaks local language, with local slang all over his mouth, serving oversea clients, ain’t doing good in terms of relationships with clients, nor his call quality, can get his ass confirmed is really beyond anyone’s imagination. The only thing that I can figured out why, is that the black short dimwit has a hand in buttsecking Motivator off work during weekend.

I stil vaguely remember, the day after the dimwit gotten himself confirmed, he asked the team to go out for a drink, with him covering the bill. From all my previous entries, y’all should know that I never liked this dimwit in any circumstances. All you see is the dark side of me, * fuck, sounds like Star War now* when I’m pretending to be nice to him. Fuck that. I categorized both Motivator and the dimwit as same: Pests. Yes. Pests that are supposed to be exterminated, and not meant to be remain in office areas. So it remains to be seen how long will they last here. I’m just waiting for the day. D-day.

On Motivator. Ain’t too sure what transpired since then, but “reliable sources” informed me that apparently Motivator appealed to have his contract to be extended 3 more months. Todate, it’s his 2nd month of the said extension. End of next month will be his judgement day. Leave? Stay? The team has already numbed by his antics. We no longer care what he does, or what he does not do. If he stays, it means more shits to come our way. If he leaves, the cycle will rerun itself again with another supervisor to replace Motivator. Meh. Had enough of this crap!

That’s that about those 2 pests in the division. Went to renew my passport few days before my birth day early last month. Was informed by few mates to go renew my passport at north of the town, which the immigration office is well known for its speed in getting the renewal done within the day. You might be wondering why-on-earth would this joker has the intention to go renew my passport?! Well, I’ll tell you the truth later on. So, ‘twas a weekday, on a 7:30am. The moment Motivator comes in, I asked for permission to leave on half day for passport renewal, and after much consideration, he allowed it. Hence without further adue, I rushed myself over to the immigration office, and reached there at 8am-ish, only to find out there’s a fucking long queue outside the immigration office. On a weekday?!?! 8am-ish?!!? Why is there long queue in immigration office?!?! Don’t they need to work/go to school?!?! Why are there kids, babies with parents queuing up?!?! Then I realised that school holiday just started few days back. Goddamnit!

Seriously, I can’t understand why do kids nowadays need to get their fucking passport done at such early age ie primary/secondary school?! They can’t go on leave anytime of the year ‘cept for during the long year-end holiday. What a fucking waste of money! Another thing that really puzzled me is that, why the fuck would they bring the whole fucking family over to immigration office?!?! What are they trying to pull?? Kids shouting, babies crying in immigration office, not to mention those retarded kids running and around and screaming. Such a nuisance I tell you. One fucking row of 6 chairs for patrons like us to sit, ended up “occupied” by bags, 3 kids and parents. There. The mentality of the locals. What a fucking disgrace! The waiting part is really a pain-in-the-fucking-ass. I got my number at 300+. Which there were 300 over fuckers still queuing in front me, waiting for their turn to renew their bloody passports. Seeing that, I wandered around the vicinity, see if there’s any interesting stuff that might attract my attention, and at the same time deviate my attention from the loooooooong queue. The time I got the queue number was around 9am-ish. Waited, wandered, strolling around the area for 3.5hours. Returned to the immigration office, just few more to go before it’s my number being called at. Waited few more minutes, final-fucking-ly!!!! Almost 4 hours!!!! These buncha clowns! Once I got my documents passed on to the immigration officer, all I ever needed is just another 30minutes is all it takes to have my passport renewal done. I got the renewed passport at 10mins before 2pm. Yeah. I stil remember. How I can not remember!?!? The fucking crowd that were in the office. There was a time I just fucking wish that a psycho will go into the office and began his slashing and chopping just to get rid of the crowd. God!! Painful experience it was. If only ‘twas not school holiday, everything would’ve been done within a blink of an eye. That’s my mate’s feedback on this office. In short, I was in this shit at the wrong time. Motivator was texting, calling me from time-to-time to check on me, ‘twas meant to be half day off but it ended up full day. Goddamnit! I reasoned with him, fortunately he understands it. Owh well. What can he do? I’m already outside. However, I did go back to office just to show my face and proved to him that I really did renew my passport and not loitering around.

There there. Reason for passport renewal you might ask.

I’M GOING TO ENGLAND!!!!!!!!

Yes! You see it here first. I’m going to fucking UK!!!!!!!!!

Right after that painful passport renewal experience, I went back to office and do the airline booking online. Yes. The 3 of us, 3 good buddies are embarking to a fun, crazy, ruthless trip to UK. The very Friday after that, 3 of us went out for a discussion on this trip. For all I’ve done, I ain’t going to leave this to bed without having the fucking crazy trip. At the end of the discussion, we’ve decided to go:

England – For my favourite football club. Gonna fucking roll on the pavement in front of the stadium.

Amsterdam – For the “exotic” stuff available there.

Paris – The City of Lights. The city renown for its fashions. What else?!

Yes. 3 destinations, 12 days trip. Why not. This is gonna be one helluva trip. I'm still jizzing all over thinking about this.

Earlier this month, my mom fell of while she’s on her way to market. Not knowingly, she missed her steps and fell flat on the floor. Thank god nothing serious happened. Only thing was her right face swollen. Sent her off to a local doc, gave her some medicines, the docs confidently said that the swollen will vanished by the 10th day. Miraculously, it did vanish on the 10th day. For once, I’m impressed by this doc. On the same day my mom fell off, that is after I sent her off to the doc, I got my vehicle’s windscreen changed. What I did? Pass the car key to the agent. And I waited at home. 4.5 hours later. Got back my car key from the agent. Brand new windscreen, not a single penny paid. All insurance covered.

On a sidenote, I’m a vivid fans of a game called Football Manager. Thanks to a certain mate that “poisoned” me since year 2003. Been addicted to the game on a yearly basis till todate.

Spent most of my time for the past 2 months on the same game. Hence the lack of entries in here. Then again, it’s my blog. I’ll do whatever I want with this blog of mine. One thing for sure, this blog will be here for I’ll never remove it. It sorta gimme the sweet and bitter memories since the commencement of this blog of mine.

For the past 2 months, I’ve attended 4 weddings and funeral, which kinda reminds me of the same titled movie by Hugh Grant back in year 1994. The weddings, nothing short of happiness. The only funeral, my secondary school-mate’s mom has left ‘em to a peaceful place due to cancer. Amen to that. Thinking back, this mate of mine lost 2 family members in the same year: his elder brother earlier of the year, and her mom earlier this month. How short one’s life can be. Live life to the full. When you think of a thing to do, just go ahead and do it, with no regrets.

There. Today is New Year eve. There’s a clash of events here. On one side, it’s a New Year party that’s gonna be held downtown. On another side, close mate’s brand new house warming, which leaves me in dilemma. Finally, decided to go both. Counting down with workmates downtown, and then after midnite, I’ll be rushing off the close mate’s house warming. Since he has informed in his webbie that his house warming party is gonna be from 8pm til 6am next morning. So, I SHALL BE THERE!

Here wishing y’all Happy New Year, from the humble me, posting from office.

*southpark’s eric cartmen’s voice* Screw you guys, I’m going home!

On A Day Like This

Wanted to put this one up in midweek but I was too tired to do so. Hence I post it up today, now.

Went for a close friend’s wedding last Saturday, 60% of the attendance is all ex- and current staff of the current company that I’m in. That’s why I told everyone that this is more like a “family reunion” party instead of a wedding dinner. Ahh well, I’d like to take the opportunity to say congrats to both the bride & the groom on the wedding, and wish you live happily everafter.

3 days ago, 26th was the day of reckoning for Motivator. ‘twas his 6th month in current job, which is due for confirmation review from the bosses. Coincidentally, we had a meeting with our new deputy manager on the very same day as well. During the meeting, everyone was talking about cases, on the difficulties that they faced during negotiation with the clients et al. I know that deep down inside all of ‘em wanted to ask this very question: Is this bastard leaving, or is he staying?

That’s the million dollar question. Couldn’t bare it anymore, I burst out to the new deputy:

“Off the record, is there gonna be any replacement for Motivator then?”

This new deputy is a honest manager thus far. She has given me the impression that, if someone is right, she’ll say Kudos, Well done. You’re correct etc etc etc. But if someone screw it all up, she’ll give it to that person right in his/her face regardless of whatever reason.

When she heard my question, she mentioned that Motivator did screw up few times, and she did gave it to Motivator right in his face etc etc etc. But it seems like she didn’t answer my question instead. Therefore I persisted & asked her the same question again. She said that she’ll give Motivator a month or two for him to improve on all his shortcomings.

Fine.

I got the answer that I wanted. Right after that, I asked her on the fate of this newbie that I swapped my role with. She put it bluntly and directly saying that, given the performance til mid of November, if things don’t improve by then, this newbie will be gone.

Great. At least one good news for the day. The meeting then went on for 2 hours whereas it should’ve been ended in an hour. Damn. Talk about rumor mongers and bitchin’ session.

In between today and the day after meeting, which is Wednesday til today, Motivator has been bombarded by questions from managers on certain accounting stuff. Not that I care much, but I’ve got reliable sources told me that Motivator was having a torrid time getting the correct stuff to be delivered to the managers.

Towards the end of my working hour for today, gotten a confirmation that Motivator has personally appealed himself to be extended for 3 more months in order for him to improve all his shortcomings, which the deputy duly accepted it. If things remain the same after 3 months, he’ll have no choice but to pack his bag and get the fuck outta here. Great! We’ve waited for 6 months, why another 3 months then.

On a sidenote, I was browsing through for some vacancies internally and see if there’s any “interesting” position that I can dip my head into. Found out something interesting, something similar to what I’ve been expecting to get. Again, it’s something similar, but no exactly the same.

I’ve got sources informing me that there’ll be tough competition on that post. Ahh. Not that I give a fuck on who’s gonna be my competitors for that post, but I shall do my fucking best to get that post. If I lose out on that, at least I gave it my bloody best shot already. Wish me luck.

My current new role’s department is gonna short of one more headcount, for one of the senior has opted to further the career elsewhere, internally. Good luck to you. We shall meet again, hopefully. *wink*wink*

That’s it. That’s all the updates for this past week. Short, straight to the point. Ain’t no bullshitting around.

Happy Halloween!

A Day like this, on Wednesday

Last post was about a week ago. But today I really can’t stand the stupidity of it anymore. This post was meant to be up couple of days back, but today seems to destine for me to post it instead.

As per my previous entry, today marks the day of that bitch manager leaving this country and back to her place of origin. I ain’t sure about others but for me, it’s good riddance. Adios bitch! Hope not to see you soon. She came up to our floor and shook hand with each and every one of us, bidding her farewell. Well, so happen that I was discussing some cases with my trainer cum senior and she walks up to me and shook hand bidding her farewell. I was so deep into the discussion that all I said was just

“Hi. Bye. Good Luck”

4 words. 4 simple, daily-used words. Those are my last words to her. She might need the latter 2 much more in her future. Right after those words went off my mouth, I turned and continue my discussion with my trainer cum senior on the cases again. Screw that. I don’t give a shit about her departure at all. Call me a cold-hearted or whatever adjectives that you can come up with, but I don’t give a rat’s ass about it. There. I said it. Good riddance, finally.

Everything doesn’t go my way today. I told my trainer cum senior that I need to do some work that requires me to concentrate on it on full time scale basis for the day. Therefore she is kind enough to let me loose for just 1 day, so that I can settle as much cases as I can for the whole day. These cases have been backtrack since the start of last month and I didn’t even start on it. I’m supposed to close those cases on a monthly basis, but due to “unforeseen circumstances”, everything has gone off the track. Long story short, I need to buck the fuck up and close all these outstanding cases of mine from start of September til todate, all these before end-of-month. That’s the target I set for myself.

For me to get into these cases, there’s a system access that is very essential in the process of calling up these customers and close those cases in one-go. Yeah. You guessed it right, my access to that system seems to be removed overnite. I was still able to access it before I packed up for the day last nite. What’s up with the overnite change? I tried to ring up 3 of the customers on that matter, only to be fucked right in the face from all of ‘em, telling me:

“How many times do you guys wanna call me up, telling me the same thing over N’ over again?? Have you check in your records before you call me up? You have to put your acts together. Can I talk to your supervisor now?”

Ya. Out of the 3 calls, 1 customer was away, 2 went to Motivator. That’s it. I give the fuck up. I’d rather spend the time waiting for my system access to resume, and then check the records before I ring ‘em up and get fucked for no reason.

Reported this to Motivator. He got it fixed finally. However by the time this is solved, the time has way passed for me to ring up the customers in my outstanding list. Goddamnit! One helluva unproductive day for me.

Think that’s the end of it? Fat chance. Here comes Part 2. Just got up from a break, a smoking break, which I really needed it after the aforementioned incidents, my trainer pull me over and showed me an email sent by Motivator, with 2 of my trainer & senior in the loop. Without further adue, I went back, sat my big fat ass on the chair, and run through the email. Few minutes later, I was:





The questions that he asked in the email, everything is in the database, as well as in our record on our daily assignments. This email wouldn’t have existed if he at least read through the cases. It’s almost 6 months now, yet he is stil asking us this kinda stupid questions via email? He has the very same access like us. I’m not too sure what is he trying to pull but for me, it’s a complete fucking waste of my time for me to read through it. Let alone replying it. Seriously, i ain’t too sure what struck at that time, I was so goddamn eager to reply him and at the same time humiliate him in a different way. Which somehow reminds me of another incident that happened last Friday. Both of the exact same stupidity level.

Funnily enough, there are some screenshots of a certain information that he needs to prove it to me, which Motivator attached it in the email. When I scrolled down, apparently this shameless bastard copied and pasted one of the colleague’s email which she sent to her, and the forward it to me, only thing that missing out is that he forgot to remove her signature down below. This colleague has absolutely nothing to do with my current team’s work at any point of time. I ain’t too sure how on earth did her email come into the picture of this whole email, but from my “speculation”, I think Motivator asked her some information about it, and then have her send him the screenshot via email, and then Motivator thought he can send the email to me, thinking that I’m under the assumption that he’s the one who got all these information on his own. But I think that he forgotten to take off my colleague’s signature at the bottom of the email. I mean, how daft can one be? He deleted the header, copied and pasted everything from there on and send the email to me, as if he’s the one doing everything. My dear readers, tell me this:

How the fuck difficult it is for you to just click the bloody FORWARD button in your email and add in your own comments from there?! Instead of copy and paste other people’s email and make it as if it’s your own work. I’m speechless. This ain’t the first time he’s doing this. Bloody hell! Seriously it reminds me of this:



That’s one part. So I went on with my reply, telling him the chronology of the events that occur throughout the case. The only reason why is he sending me the email is because I was the last person who touched the case couple of days earlier. I mean, seriously, will it always be the last people who always get the sticks?! I didn’t do anything wrong. I was merely following the proper protocol. To close it all off, I even fucking attached the full case details in the email, when the case details can be found in the system. After all these, all I got in his reply:

Thank you.

Fucking hell?! 2 fucking words?! After all that, 2 fucking words?! This is the last straw. I’ll never look at him the same way again. He can go die and rot in hell. I’ll just play along with him. Don’t expect positive comments from me as and when there’s a discussion about him. I now officially categorize him the same as that bitch manager. A pest. A pest that should’ve been exterminate as soon as possible from this planet to avoid any possible harm from human race. Same goes to that newbie that I proposed a swap with. To the ex-manager that so much so claimed that this Motivator is the most suitable candidate to lead the team when there are clearly other more capable candidates available, whoever that’s reading this, tell him that:

FUCK MOTIVATOR AND FUCK YOU TOO!

This is your legacy to the team. There’s nothing else but bad taste in my mouth. You’ve ruined few people’s career. Just stay where you are and don’t ever set your fucking foot in this building anymore. I don't wish to see your fucking face in the office ever again!

That’s the end of the day. Can’t stand it anymore. Luckily that I’m on leave this Friday and coming Monday, at least I can get the fuck outta this shit temporarily.

Off all these setbacks that I’ve got today. Finally something that can cheer me up when I reached home earlier today. See picture below.




Ya. I’m about to get my vehicle for a scheduled maintenance next month, which I think might cost me a bomb. Previously ‘twas about 200-300. This time around it’s the major service, so I’ve set aside some extras just for this. I never expect this voucher will come my way. Seems like my holiday plan is resurrected from hell then. Fingers crossed.

That’s it. I’m off to bed now, while the music of Eminem discography is ringing in my Ipod, accompanying me to dreamland.

“Yeah, fuck him and fuck you too!” ~~ Eminem

11th October

A wee bit more than a week has passed again. More stories from the humble me in this ranting heaven of mine.

To those who knows me, I’m working in an environment that requires me to work at abnormal hours. Where people will be still sleeping away while I’m already at work, where people just return from their lunch time while I’m already packing my stuff, ready to go home for the day. Ain’t going in details on it, I’m sure you brilliant readers know what the hell I’m blabbering about.

Starting last Monday, I’ve begun my working hour as early as in the wee hours of 5. Yea. Climate change. ‘twas some time that I last get up so early in the morning to work. but on a flip side of it, I get to go home 8 hours later. (Please do your own calculation, will ya?) Lemme assure you: it ain’t easy to live a life like this, seriously.

Ahh well, last week was the very final week of my training in this new-but-not-new working environment. It’s been a while since I last went on leave, taking a break from work, lie at home and do absolutely nothing. That’s the best way to spend the off days. Unless you have a plan of spending it for holidays, then I’d say that’s the best way. Therefore I went on a 4 consecutive off days (weekend included of-fucking-course!) ........Feels good mang!!!!

In that very morning, when I was in the midst of training with the adorable seniors in the new division, Motivator walked over to my trainer and me, whispering to us:

“She’s leaving on 20Oct. Confirmed!”

Yeap. That bitch manager is departing our Malaysia soil on 20th. What a fucking relieve! Just when you think that this is the end of her, hohohohohoho.....wrong. You’re very wrong. There is lotsa insiders’ news on this one as well. How did I get to know all these insiders’ news when I was on leave for 2 days, and today is only Monday?? Read on.

I was doing nothing at home, playing with FIFA11 and listening to my Ipod, in the process of paining my wrists, my workmate called me up and asked for a Friday night liquor session. Seeing that I’m on leave for 4 days, I went on with it. This is where I got all the “critical” information from.

The workmate that wanted to leave, has expressed his desire to stay on in the team, whilst waiting for further opportunity to arrives. That’s the words coming outta VIPs that were here couple of weeks back on the future departmental opportunities. You gotta be good, or even perhaps pretty indispensable as deemed by the management, or at least from your bosses point of view to have the VIPs talk to you onto your career path like that. Meh. How come I don’t get any of this at all? Oh yea. I’ve forgot. I’m just a puny lil’ bean in this fucking big multi-national company. Ain’t hold any grudges against anyone but deep down inside of myself, I do stil think that my future in this multi-national company lies somewhere. And that SOMEWHERE is within it, but other divisions. I’ve expressed this to my current boss when he had a closed door session with me, one-on-one, mano-a-mano. He respected my honesty, hold no grudges and even supported my vision. There. My work mate is staying.

Secondly, there’s a change on our floor’s sitting arrangements. With this guy staying, there’s 6 headcounts in my previous team. ‘cos the pregnant lady has just return today after 2 months of maternity leave. Great. Just great!

With that bitch manager leaving, who’s gonna replace her then? An announcement has been made on Friday by one of the VIPs that were down here couple of weeks back. The arrangement is that to have our boss move down taking that bitch’s role, while my current division will be supervised by a tenured supervisor, with a chance to become a manager herself.

Talk about changes during my 2 days of annual leave!

On Saturday, few of us buddies have accepted our boss’ “invitation” to crash his house nearby the office. it’s all about beers, snacks, food and PlayStation time!!!

Due to boredom, our boss has bought himself a Playstation 3 console and invited few of us over to enjoy the nite. Truth to be told, ‘twas real fun. I even get a chance to taste my boss’ cuisine, made by himself. Nothing much to boast about, it’s just some snacks ie. Fries & nuggets. ‘twas delicious. The small “gathering” lasted for 6 hours when all of us are mentally & physically exhausted and decided to wrap things up and get the fuck outta there already.

The PS3 + joysticks

The snacks: Fries. The nuggets went so fast that I didn't manage to snap a pic of it.

On a sidenote, I’m a real fan of Japanese anime named “One Piece”. I just “pampered” myself recently with some figurines, have them delivered to office. it didn’t create a ruckus when it arrives, ‘cos not much people are into this kinda retarded and expensive toys aside from me. Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Left - Right: Jinbei; Mihawk; Kuma; BlackBeard

Left - Right: Moria; Crocodile; Boa Hancock; Doflamingo

The WarLords of the Sea: Former & Current, in front of my work desk.

And here’s to a friend, who just got a baby boy into this mother earth couple of days back. In case you or your other half is reading this, this is the latest update in the office. Nothing much to rant about. Take good care of yourself.

I was supposed to go for a holiday come end of this month, but I just realized earlier today that I was scheduled to have my car go for a yearly check-up and maintenance. I’m not too sure how much will this time cost. All my previous check-up and maintenance cost me around 200-250. But it’s 1.5 years old car now, better safe than sorry. Save some money up. The travel shall wait then. Goddamnit!!!!

Owh, yesterday was 101010. It’s the 10th day, of the 10th month, of the 10th year of the decade. Some fanatics will even go to the extent of seconds, minutes & hours. Both day and nite. Seriously, who gives a fuck about this kinda superstitious stuff? It just goes to show you how time flies, cherish every moment of it. Not just for that particular time. The same applies for Valentine's Day. Who the fuck invented this kinda stupid Day?!?!?!? Of all Days out there, this fuckhead gotta choose Valentine's Day and all males suffer on that day. Godamnit!!! I will not succumb to this idiotic event at all time. Mark my words.

Meh. Suddenly I’m getting all emo now. I’m feeling a wee bit sleepy right now. Yea. Now. Sleepy. Time for bed then.

Adios amigos.
