She went for the private viewing of MJ's 'This Is It' three days ago. The next day she chairs a meeting discussing an upcoming company event. Whilst in the meeting, she made references to MJ and the 'movie' she watched.
Her comments or rather her review:
"You MUST go and watch this. It's very good"...
...followed by...
"MJ is reallly a genius. He is such a professional."
...then...
"Even the directors respect him. They call him Mr. Michael Jackson."
...a few minutes later...
"He is really really good lah. So professional, he deserves to be where he is."
...which jolted me from the slumber I was trying very hard not to fall into..
MJ DESERVES TO BE DEAD?

life's a bitch...
I haven't been following my friend's blogs for a while now. Just spent the last hour going through Zewt's (pretty hilarious stuff here), Shienna's and then some. Shienna posted a blog whining about the sucky week she had. To cut a long story short, I left a comment that at times she has to be a bitch although it may seem a real tough and unpopular thing to do. You hold back on your bitchy comments, you'll end up sucking it all up and just being sore and whiny about it. You lash out and give your two cents worth, suddenly they wish you dead.
Some people call it being a bitch, some people call it saying it as it is, some people call it being one tough cookie. But I suppose there are times and situations that calls for it. I have a reputation of being a bitch with mulut laser.
I for one, CANNOT in capital letters tolerate stupidity among other things. And sure as hell may be, there is definitely one ignoramus in every organization. And sure enough, some where along the way they cross my path, tick me off and are left with not so fond memories of me.
Case 1 - She's the PA or something like that to the GM of the Retail sector in the place I worked. Some important meeting was scheduled to which her boss was the organizer. My boss was supposed to attend the meeting so I asked for the details from the PA. Meeting was about to start in about 1hour and I call her to check the venue of the meeting and if her boss was already in. She tells me she will check and call me back. Ten minutes later she calls me and mumbles something about her not knowing where her boss is so cannot check venue and some other nonsense that I really have no time for. I asked if she has actually answered my questions to which she said "No". So I asked her why she bothered to call me when she didn't have the information I needed & told her to only call me if she had the answers or something useful to say; otherwise don't bother. Needless to say she ran & complained to her boss. Well you know the drill - her boss complained to my boss.
Case 2 - Never in my life had I come across such a pain in the arse (to which I am sure she felt the same about me)...She gossips and bitches about everyone and gets the bosses to give in just by crying and complaining that she was bullied. Needless to say I got called a few times by the boss simply to be told to stop bullying her. Since when telling people to do the work how you want it done is bullying?? It was so easy to make her cry or pout that my evil twin and I once had a competition (out of boredom & sheer evilness) on who could make her cry the most in one week. Loser buys winner lunch. That was the best week of the entire 2 years I was with this organization.
Case 3 - The bosses want to make a trip to Uzbek but their schedules are tight and trip had to be put on hold simply because visa application takes about a week and they couldn't afford their passports being held for so long. Then boss #2 asks me about the visa application for Uzbek as he thought that the trip is gonna happen in the next month. I check with the big kahuna and he says that its not happening this year as they have their calendars scheduled right up to this year end. So I send B#2 a message and say the trip is not happening any time this year and thus will not be submitting application for visa to Uzbek. The same morning B#2's secretary mails me with the same query as her boss. Just as I am about to reply her mail, she calls me asking the same thing. So I repeat the same answer, the trip is not happening bla bla bla... only to have her ask me "So we not going to apply visa ah?" I told her "You feel you want to apply, you submit lah"
A couple of days back during a working lunch with some colleagues, one of them told me "Eh, you don't take so much chilli you know". I ask him why. His reply "Orang sudah mulut laser, if makan cili banyak nanti lagi laser. Pedasssss..." And he's not even in the same building with me. He works all the way in the east coast.
And now I'll just wait to be summoned by the boss just to have him tell me to stop bullying people again....
Sigh, life indeed is a bitch ain't it??

the adventures of bc-cw woman...
And now I have given the loonie a superhero title...yeah, you know who I am talking about.
She's the kind who always have something to complain about. ALWAYS. Apa yang dia buat jer betul. Dia jer lah yang bagus, dia jer lah yang tau semuanya. Irritating yes..
She doesn't see the silver lining behind the dark grey clouds. She see the very dark black clouds behind the glittery silver stuff. She got her new ride two weeks back..Kecoh lah satu dunia.
So happens, I just got a new ride myself. Then she goes "Ya lah, she (as in me) orang kaya buy car more expensive than mine. She's my boss you know. See carry designer bags, wear designer shoes, bla bla bla". Is it my fault really that her ride is half the price of mine?
So I got possession of my new ride Monday evening. Yesterday she came in to the office and made one nice comment about my car.
Positive Comment No 1 - Eh your car nice color ah.
Then comes the grey cloud...
Negative Comment No 1 - But the number got 4 lah, I don't quite like.
Wait a minute - my car ke her car ni???
Then lunch time she wants to go for a joyride cum shopping for the company annual dinner. She gets in...
Positive Comment No 2 - Eh nice ah your car, very spacious, seat very comfortable, very stylo, very aerodynamic...
The grey cloud again
Negative Comment No 2 - But ah, the thing ah (the decal that the tinting company gave to hold the road tax disc) is too big lah. Cover the windscreen. I don't like lah so big like that...
My reply - The windscreen so big lah, that thing hardly one tenth of it. At least the road tax thing doesn't leave sticky residue on the screen.
Lunch done. Shopping done. Time to head back to the office. It starts drizzling so I turn on the wipers.
Positive Comment No 3 - Wah your wiper so stylo one like Mercedes...
Me - Nolah, mana ada. Mercedes got one big one only. If you turn to the back windscreen got one then like Mercedes lah.
Here comes the grey cloud again
Negative Comment No 3 - No lah I don't like one like that. I don't like anything on the back windscreen.
Hello?? Mine's an aeroback, no pungkok. Yours sedan...tertonggek...Geez!!
So I am used to this grey clouds moments and I just shrug it off with some sarky remark but I doubt she's too sharp to pick up on it...
Her superpower - dispensing equal amounts of positive and negative comments & when the batteries are fully charged more of the latter than the former.
That's all for now folks. Stay tuned for more adventures of super bc-cw woman...

this that and everything else
I have gone into a lapse again, ignoring my poor miserable blog. Been busy up to the ears or nose or eyes with work, what with the effing company dinner like next weekend. But in the midst of the chaos and the 'arrggggghhhh' moments, there have some hilarious moments. All courtesy of the 'Eh what you cooking ah?' 'Don't bang my car' madam.....
Let me entertain you.
We engaged this 'entertainer' cum emcee for the coming event. So he is supposed to make his grand entrance as Darth Vader. And in the space of what, one month or so - Darth Vader has been reincarnated to Dark Raider, Dave Veda & Butt Rider (I'm not even gonna go there!!!) and the light saber became a light stick. So, get this - Butt Rider with Light Stick. Hey, I kid you not!!! I just laughed my ass off...
Then we had a meeting with the choreographer of the dance group who was doing the opening act. So the bang car-cooking what woman asked her how she could involve our big kahuna in the act. See, they are doing some Phantom of the Opera re-enactment and she went 'We can get M (the big kahuna) to backstage put him in costume and he can come on stage swing around in his cave then he open his mask and surprise!!'. In the midst of trying to stay awake during this meeting, I suddenly sat up and took notice. Yeah. Cave. Dave Veda. Whatever. I am so enjoying this.
Then there's this staff performance thing. One of the subsidiaries is planning to re-enact the skit 'Aci Aci Buka Pintu' from a P. Ramlee movie. So we thought, 'Okay, this is gonna be fun'. Then yesterday as we were in KLCC shopping for some lucky draw gifts, bang car-cooking what woman went as she pointed at something 'Eh this one can use for the cukai pintu'. Me goes 'Huh? Cukai pintu? What cukai pintu'. And as I turn to look at what she's pointing to, its the scary mask that is selling now for the upcoming Haloween.... Ahhh, the hantu or jembalang in the 'Aci Aci Buka Pintu' skit. Camana boleh jadi cukai pintu pun is beyond me... Laughing my ass off again.
Well, I must say despite being a major pain in the arse; she is good for a couple of guffaws and laugh out loud moments. Where else can I learn words like registrating, plagues and certificates.
Bang car-cooking what woman to the rescue!! I can always count on her to make sure I stay sane!!!

the return of errrr
She buys a new car. Nothing fancy like a BMW Z4 or Z whatever that is the latest model. No where near the Audi TT or Q series. Not even close to a Toyota Camry... I shall not name the make & model but it's less than 100k lah...
I don't normally give two hoots on who drives what but this is a different case altogether... She can very well afford a Z4 but she claims she wants 'low profile'. Okay, fine....
Then she wanted 848 for her registration number (translated to Chinese - fatt sei fatt. Kaya, dah mampus pun kaya gak). But she had to pay more so she settled for her present number (yat kow lok lok).
Today she got possession of her new ride. Says the salesman bought a temp road tax that expires 14th Nov. No good, she says. Yat sei.. Sure die or something like that.
And she tells me 'Later you reverse your car be careful lah, don't bang into my car ah..'
WTF?? If it was a Lambo or Maserati or SL or X6, makes sense lah. Ni kan kereta nasional kita. PUHLEESE lah. I nak bawak truck ni, saja graze her bumper. Biar padan ngan muka tembam dia!!!
Tengah geram ni!!!

She: Eh, what are you cooking ah for your get-together?
You: (you name a dish that is your specialty) and some kuih maybe...
She: I don't want to eat your (dish that you named)...
What do you answer?

i had stong for breakfast today...
I ask you, when you are not in a working relationship with someone and have not been for the past, say 3 years or so; what are the chances of you getting into a misunderstanding with them? Next to nothing right? More so if you rarely communicate with them (or make that never)... Simply nothing right?
But I found out this morning that it is possible to ruffle someone's feathers or get into a misunderstanding under the above circumstances... Here's what happened this morning, I got a google message from Stong and as I was busy working (contrary to the popular belief that I normally buat buat busy or am busy doing nothing), I didn't reply her lah...So below the exchange of messages....
stong: Hi..ada kat rumah ke?? tak jawap pun =P
stong: www.naforye.com.tw (sent at 10:49 AM on Thursday)
stong: do appreciate you as a peers otherwise won't bother to message u. (sent at 10:51 AM on Thursday)
stong: many times misunderstanding does happen..do realise might not be your fault..that makes the relationship turn sour.
me: huh? are u googling the right person?
stong: u la..who else
me: make wat relationship turn sour?
stong: message so many times also no answer
me: wat misunderstanding?wat msg?
stong: so long also never hear from you
me: and u pressume theres a misunderstanding?huh? dont confuse me lah

me: im okaylah, bz as usual, started working now full time
stong: good to hear that....must bored gila at homewhere u working now? (sent at 10:59 AM on Thursday)
stong: ok.catch up with u free. cheers
So now tell me are you as confused as I am?
