A day in Working Life

A new day at work always begins with my alarm screaming to get my lazy ass of my bed. Have to resist my body pulling myself towards my laptop and start Facebook and force myself into the shower. Fast forward to driving myself to work and found myself a nice parking lot that fits my car perfectly. After getting out of the car, I noticed a lady that is staring at me for a while, then proceed back to her car to get something.. it didn't bother me much so I walk away LIKE A BOSS.. If you don't like me getting the good spot, then you should change your car to MyVi or something small.

Continue walking to my office LIKE A BOSS, turn on my PC and ready to proceed for some Facebook... and then all the office lights went out. Surely enough, I was caught off-guard that a power failure would happen so early in the morning.. and as the next few seconds slowly tick by, I then remember something important. Did anything happen to the servers?


I rush to the server room and found almost half of the devices.. dead and offline. What the f*** I should do now... was what I was thinking. I had analyze the situation, checking every server status and then conclude that I have to bring about 10 servers back online via the backup power supply.. alone. That wasn't the end, because pretty soon, customer calls are flooding into our office, and later I found out that changing the power supply isn't going to solve the issue, as I need to worry about the Internet connection that was also offline during the power failure.

Using two hands to do my job, while one ear to listen to my customer long nagging complaints. That is all the load I can take. To handle a shit this BIG, I need extra pair of hands. I need reinforcements, not extra nagging from people I don't wanna hear from. Your nagging won't speed up my work, goddamnit.

After that, the 'finger-pointing' game starts. I really enjoy the typical lazy management people desperately pushing out all the blame from themselves. "It's not my fault that the power is out. If you really want to get your hands into this shit, why don't you ask TNB??" was my first response I got from them. After that, I am unable to reach any of them for further comments. When there is a problem, they will have a half-day leave, running away from trouble.

Finally when most of the restoration done (alone in the office), I drove back home for a late dinner, then noticing a green parking receipt on my wipers, only that the paper is abit bigger than the normal receipt. Surely it can't be that?!! But sadly it is...

I bet that it was that bitch this morning who can't stand small cars able to fit into tight places.

One of my college lecturers always mention this: "Today is a good day. You know why? Because EVERYDAY is a good day..". 4 years later, I have been thinking to myself "Today is a bad day. You know why? Because EVERYDAY there is someone trying to screw my life up.."

Office Ladies

Always stuck in the office full of sausages? Having nightmares of your boss who is in her 50s with boobs like kiwi fruits? Ever regret or hating your job for having an old, unattractive lady who probably has a secret fetish of bossing people around like her own minions?

The Japanese foresee that long ago, and had introduce the working world a profession, nicknamed the "Office Flower" that have kept a balance of eye candy in the office. Most commonly known as "Office Ladies", these girls are usually hired after they completed high school to assist office workers in routine tasks. Now the term "OL" often refers to beautiful young ladies in office attires, disregarding the working position. It is definitely nice to have hot OL in the office, but you can't deny having wild imagination with them before.

Here are some pictures of hot OL we would die to have her sitting near our desk. Enjoy! :)

Empty Thoughts

I really miss writing 'thoughts' in here, like how Vincent writes on his blog. Those were really good days... it was like the only site you can hope that it will get updated and you get to spend around 20 minutes of your life reading it, and getting back 20 minutes worth... Those were good reads.

To be honest I haven't had any serious thoughts recently, nothing I can really ponder about. All I get this whole week was empty thoughts, like my body is living while my brain is dead; floating through the entire week without giving a damn.

But here are the summarized 'mini-thoughts' I had this week:

Work
Got into some uninteresting shit and nearly putting my ass on fire on occasional times. Many problems coming in, I did my best to serve as many as I can, and in the end I get was 'I'm not satisfied with the results' instead of 'Thanks..' from the customers. What can I do? The job in services line is to force yourself to swallow down the customer's shit, and then giving them a huge smile.

Leisure
I seriously wish I have more time to hangout outdoors. Maybe I have it all along and just didn't realize until the time is gone. There are plenty of stuff I really want to do: overseas travelling, pick up guitar skills, workout in gym, clubbing... things that I should do when I'm young instead of waiting till my early 30s.

It's funny when people say "you're young, you should spend more time in your working life and work hard, so you will be successful early" and then telling you "I'm old now, I don't get to do the stuff I wanted to do"... all the while I believe in my principle, which is "you're young, you should do all the crazy stuff you want to do before you reach old age."

Harry Potter
I'll be watching this movie soon... and not because I'm a fan of the whole series. Since I had already watched the 1st part of the movie last year, I will feel cheated on my RM10 if I didn't spend another RM10 to finish the movie. Seriously mindfucked, right?

Anyway, Emma Watson isn't that hot as I thought it would.

Bersih 2.0
After that massive number of attendance, they think they can do better by summoning more of their own people to the streets.. anytime. easily.

Could you kindly grow up, please.. Mr. Chua?

iPhone4 vs Samsung Galaxy S2
This battle will be never-ending, but in the end who gives a damn about which phone is better?

The thing that pisses me most is how people label it as "iPhone fags" and "Android fags".. watching both of these people pointing out how the other's phone sucks is like watching two nerds trying to show whose virtual dick is bigger. I don't care about your topics, but I do like a seal of approval to punch you in the balls for it.

..I think that will be all. Time to shut up and go back to bed.

Aftermath

We have been living about 11 days after the 709 event in KL, and what was the outcome? I seriously laugh at the superstitious people who stock up instant noodles and drinks thinking that the historic May 13 will repeat itself, and the people who make amazing stories of what supposed to be a peaceful demo, turning out to be a cold, violent battlefield.

Firstly, we have the ones who fully supports the yellow shirts rally, demand that it's about goddamn time for a fairer elections, but we all know what was the main course everyone was looking forward - a goddamn time for a change.

Then, we have the people who believes every word from the mainstream media, every stories told by our beloved leaders, that the rally was a plot to turn another country into chaos, therefore it is illegal and they have the right to abuse the yellow shirts. Kick them. Smite them hard. Don't go saving up on the tear gas and then kick them again while they're choking for fresh air... and then mock them getting all cowardly when it was a little bit of tear gas.

And then, there are those who rightfully claim they chose neither sides. Sitting on the fence, agreeing that action must taken for fair elections, yet criticizing it for causing innocents to close down their business for the day. "Do it someplace else la!! Why take it out on the streets.. causing many shops to close, causing so many traffic jams..." I never knew that a day-off would affect greatly on the local economy.

So where do I sit? Which sides do I take?

This isn't a multiple choice question where I can randomly pick one and pray for my 25% chance that I got it correct. Time to think. If it was just a small gathering of 50-100 people marching around, who would really give a damn. To make people around the whole world to watch, you have to make it BIG, and when it is BIG, there will definitely be sacrifices. Like it or not, you cannot please everyone in the world, but the least you can do is the get everyone attention.

I would say from this rally, even if we don't get the immediate fair election, but at least it got the attention around the world. While our beloved leaders are squeezing their brain juice to come out another award winning story, twisting the plot to their liking... but there are people who watch and listen to the truth, and the whole world is watching now.
