Lost Your Underwear?

I found it outside work a couple of nights ago. Thought it was interesting, so here are the photos from my N95

Hmm?

Is this yours?

Another angle

It’s finally week one of university. To be exact, it has been three days since university started, but I have already missed out on two lectures. I just can’t bring myself to wake up on time to get to campus, somehow.

Work has been really demanding, with me working almost every night and me not having enough time to spend with loved ones. The only consolation is that my manager told me that I will be trained in a new section in a couple of weeks time, which is timely as I have been dreading to leave my current section.

My sleeping hours are still unchanged, and I’m struggling to reverse it to normal sleeping hours so I can use my day time to study instead.

Believe it or not, I just dozed off and had visuals of work in my head. Ugh. Have a good week ahead

P.S. I don’t know if it happens to you guys, but I fell asleep before hitting the “Publish” button. That’s not the first time it happened.

“I Love my Job”

July 22, 2008 | Filed Under Announcement, Gibberish, Observation, Rough Times, Thoughts, Work | 3 Comments 

Only a few days of lazily written entries and I noticed that my stats have dropped drastically. I guess this is the price to pay when I had decided that this blog become my (amateur) photography cum personal life cum ranting space (not a very good mix when not done properly). But I really shouldn’t complain, as I still have loyal readers who comment on my postings on a frequent basis such as Hwey and Deng, Shan, Feng, Jason, ehon, Clem, Neo and even Lilian. Thanks guys for keeping me motivated to continue blogging on a not-so-daily basis.

Another day, another entry for me to ramble on about my job. Pardon the misleading title of this post, I am merely restating what my colleagues have been saying about me (without my knowledge, of course) - “He seem to really love this job”.

I would have taken it as a compliment, but knowing that people are actually saying it behind my back, this goes to show that it is being seen as a negative thing. Only people like Shan (a manager in the food industry) would probably see it in a positive light, I guess. But why on mother Earth would your colleagues who are supposedly your friends see such a thing as something negative? Are they in fear of their job security, that I will “rob” them of their positions with my supposed “passion” for my job? Or perhaps being such a person with a positive, cheery mood at work puts them off to bad mood?

I had proposed a couple of solutions for myself to tackle this new-found problem at work that I’m facing:

1. The Reversal Method
   - Title says it all: Reversing my positive, cheery facade and channeling all my negative aura to my face. This method has yet to be tested and probability of success is unknown, but chances of losing my job is exponentially increased with more negative aura. Although I am very much tempted to test this method, I dare not risk my sole income at this stage in time.

   
   

2. The IgnoRaythod™
   - I’m sure many have heard of the phrase, “Ignorance is bliss”. This is an example of when you can apply this method. It has been tested and the probability of success is high. Chances of losing my job is on all-time low and chances of promotion is all-time high.

3. And more.

As to the statement of where I “love” my job, I hereby openly announce to the whole world that I really, really, really hate my job despite the cheery, positive facade that I have been putting on. The reasons of such dedication and positive outlook for me at work is:

• Money
• (Fun) Colleagues/Manager (notice the singularity) who can share stories and let me see the real them.

  and last but not least,

• Money

Think about it - why would a perfectly normal person like you and me love a job which you only earn enough to survive on (weekly), and still isn’t enough for yourself to lead a completely liveable life by yourself, more to say your other half? One cannot simply judge another by how they carry themself, anywhere. Just because I’m good with appearing happy doesn’t necessarily imply that I’m a happy person. It’s akin saying that your cat is horny when it rubs itself against you. No, your cat is not horny. You are the horny one to suggest such implication on it.

In short to this lengthy rambling, mind your own fucking business while I mind mine.

Thanks for reading and have a good week while I continue slaving myself for more moolahs to pay off my bills, cars, uni books/carpark, and life

Elvis is laughing at me

There are more and more work colleagues in my Facebook profile, and I actually went on to add a few more a while ago. Looks like I’ll have to cut down on my workplace ramblings from now onwards or start a new censoring method just like Malaysia’s censorship (ie. heavy) before the people I bitch about gets me I get into trouble at work.

Heck, even one of the managers have a Facebook account! What has come to the world today?

Have a great weekend guys.

p.s. NO, I did not add the manager.

Ins and Outs

July 13, 2008 | Filed Under Observation, Rough Times, Thoughts, Work | 3 Comments 

It’s been a while since my last wordy post. I’m physically and emotionally exhausted (from work, specifically) as I type this, but somehow I just needed the ranting space. Of course, being a blogger, the natural abode to rant is the blog - and so this rant is of existence.

Work has been taking up most of my social and personal life. My weeks have been filled with painfully long hours, pain-in-the-ass customers, unforgiving managers, and hi-bye colleagues. Money has been flowing in and out, with obviously more outs than ins.

Of course, being on a long holiday, the natural thing to do would be to work and work more, with the thought that by working more, the outs will be hopefully reduced and more ins will be allowed that will hopefully allow me to save up for a trip next year, or perhaps even for emergency use when the need arises.

Of course, if things had been going as planned, this blog entry wouldn’t be of existence.

With reference to the pain-in-the-ass customers, sometimes, I wish I could shove my fist into the customers’ face who deserve the fist. Examples:

• The type of customers that stands at the (salad/dessert) bar, that puts their hands on their hips whilst waiting for their food with the face that says, punch me, and when the food is finally placed in front of their face, a simple word of gratitude is not uttered from their foul mouth, but more whining instead.

• The type of customers that are at least twice your age but has a mentality of someone below 12. This can be seen from angry customers who seem to be constantly shouting at you, who requires extra loving care and attention, the type of tender loving care from Raymond Chan himself - a fist to his/her face.

• And more

Unfortunately, I am still needing this job to make sure I have adequate ins to compensate for the outs that I cannot seem to control, no matter how hard I try. So you have a great weekend while I slave away to earn my ins that will eventually be outs on the same day it goes in.

Do I Look Like a Girl?

I was working today and as usual, I was topping up some of the desserts in the salad bar. Whilst trying to make room for myself amongst the crowd over at the desserts section, the mom directed her daughter, “Darling, make way for the LADY so she can go through.”

What’s wrong with the world today?

Today’s Horoscope (Scorpio)

June 8, 2008 | Filed Under Gibberish, Work | Leave a Comment 

It’s not a day to sit around the house, even if you intend to relax. Get outside and do something fun, like going to the beach, taking a walk or even going shopping. But don’t think you’ll be totally satisfied with meaningless distractions. For real happiness today, find an activity that engages your mind with the deeper questions of life.

Yeah, I think today I’ll stick to this question while I “get outside and do something fun”: I wonder how I’m supposed to make this salad?

I so can’t wait to gain this “real happiness”. Have a great Sunday.
