Post Mortem of CNY

In short, this year Chinese New Year is no different than the others except that there are few 'unexpected visitings' to those whom we hardly get in contact with. However; the questions of 'the other half' is always being asked.............Oh brother!!!! Don't they have anything to ask apart from being waiting to be 'married off'............Sucks!!!! It really gets on my nerves.........

On the other hand, on the 1st day of CNY my father's younger sister stayed two nights with us on the eve of CNY till the 2nd day of CNY. Coincidentally; on the 1st day of CNY both my mother's younger sisters came over for dinner but we had unexpected additional guests who were last minutes, both my elder cousins from my father's late eldest sister two grown up children came with their families and their maid and nearly half the day in the house.............In addition to that, eating and drinking without stopping.............Some would term them as 'ehm sioung he'.............In short, 'know your limits'.............You know...............Chinese mentality eat till the worth and also..............The displays of attitude...........It was a change from the usual quiet atmosphere which I am pretty used to it..............

On the second day of CNY, we had my mother's youngest brother came over for lunch............Later we had the unexpected guest from my father's second elder brother who could not even bother to give a ring and inform us on our fixed appointment with our mother's second younger brother dinner appointment on the same day..................That period of time was also very tight for us............The worst part is that my father's elder brother and his wife enjoys boasting about his son's paycheck, status.........etc.........and even have 'long backside'............to brag on sometimes can be up to hours just in one sitting...............The news I heard that my this 'snake cousin' will be having his wedding dinner in Putrajaya...............According to him, the area is not 'high class' enough for his status...........Blah........talk about career, social status............................................Fortunately; for this year we did not have to endure for hours but only for minutes as we had to rush for our dinner appointment................

Okay, during the dinner my mother's third sister who is a 'chut fong tau' and her eldest sister kept her constantly occupied with unecessary mobile phone calls............However, what my sister and I had not bargained for was the 'surprise' visit we made to her eldest sister after the appointed dinner ..........who has always calls herself the 'black sheep' of the family...........During the journey we made to her place; it was raining cats and dogs..........When we reached to her apartment; it was cramped but also very untidy and rubbishes were strewn all over the place........Can you imagine as the CNY........for a Chinese? Okay not Chinese I had seen the houses of some Muslims and Indians who are able to keep their houses tidy although they are working full time.............You are talking about two retirees in the house with both grown up children who are professionals...........If my mother sees the place both my sister and I made this type of mess we will be lectured.............

The worst part is that tomorrow is Saturday which is also my telephone duty night, my fren MJ's party night and also my mother's GM open house night................I had to turn down MJ's party and also my telephone duty night as the order from her GM is that the entire family will need to attend as he was the one who 'forced' my mother back to work................She promised her boss already................Once the boss order...........we need to follow............If life is any simpler than this.................

Prince Charming

Let me put it straight; every girl dream is to have the 'other half' to be her companion when she grows old. Put it in short : a best friend who is able to listen to her without having any judgement or simply jump into conclusion about anything at all.

It is just only a dream; no wonder I have always dislike celebrating Chinese New Year especially I have been asked this question almost everytime when relatives or friends who come and visit and pop the same question to me. Sometimes it makes me nausea just to listen or even to answer everytime. Come on; please give me a break..............At least; I won't be that deadbeat and serious to have one now. The next question they be asking when we will be tying the knot. Oh my God!!!! How on earth are we going to ignore such comments or even comparing with so and so....................On such mundane matters; in fact it can be very hurtful to be with others.

In short, we usually need to pay the price when we are with the other half. It takes two to tango and also to make things work. Some would have their early or some would be having theirs later. Some would not be having any at all. Such irony of fate one would be calling this.........kind of scenario. Can you just imagine when they do come in and visit and pose the same question again. It is absolutely tiring when it comes to such small matter.

For now; money is more important and career need to be on track..............Prince Charming; if there is there is; however if there is none then there isn't any. Period........Any takers now?

Maid In Charge???

Come to think about it; maids sometimes can be hell and sometimes can be heaven. It actually depends on how the attitude as well as the adaptibility of the maids. However; for us this one is actually is more hell than heaven.

As a matter of fact; without the presence both of my parents and my younger sister, she could be out for hours sometimes can be few hours the most. She would be creating excuses like 'I have gone out to buy some of my food' at this so called stall. However; her main motive is to go out and to gossip and neglect her duties as a maid. If with the other employers who are really mean and angry with this so called 'emperess attitude of hers'. I will bet that either she would be beaten up like a sack of potatoes or even sent back to Indonesia. Although she has more than 6 years of experience but she still lacks the proactiveness to learn; to complete her scope of work and even to respect her employers. The worst thing about her is that she loves to make a scene that she is the 'victim' in fact; we are the victims of her slyness, boastfulness, wickedness as well as her lies, and her unwillingness to work to earn her living. She would be always comparing her previous employer who used to give her all the freedom to look after her four children at the Sri Damansara condominium. On top of that; no one supervises her attitude and her work in the previous workplace although the madam employer is a housewife who is never around at home. With this type of attitude; I think for the other 'type' of employer she will be beaten half to death or even sent back to Indonesia without having any second thoughts at all.

Sometimes; I wonder how we had managed to cope with this type of 'pah toh' attitude of hers as well as her 'tak tahu malu' in her work. She will be complaining to other maids as though we have mistreated her and crying like cats and dogs looking like we have beaten her. In fact; we had not even touched her at all. The government ought to do something about this 'kind' of foreign maids who are in fact incapable in handling their jobs as well as the attitude. Especially those without basic education at all to enter into Malaysia to work as a maid at all. They are in fact incompetent in their work and the quality of work is worse than those with basic education. Maybe we ought to impose a quota on how many new maids are able to enter into Malaysia or even the experienced ones. No wonder so many people whom I have known are dealing tons of problems from their own hired maids especially with the attitude that they are displaying telling us that we are not firm enough or even stern with our actions to curb such 'illegals' who crossed over to our continent to 'earn a living'. Especially when actions do speak louder than words it is better to curb and give them a warning that such behaviours or attitude cannot be tolerated as such there is no diplomacy in their level to overcome such matter.

V-DDay............

Okay.........no plans for the lovey-dovey day......Anyway it's already past.......It is a new day today.

Put it in short, I am still unattached at the moment; so it makes no difference in having a bf or no bf at this time........As I am still consider a 'tomboy' to some of my friends and even schoolfriends who are very eager to see me 'marry off' to my 'knight in shining armour'. Very funny, I am not some 'sayur sawi, kangkung or even kai lan' in the fresh market........Yeah; one thing for sure; with the 'depreciation value is catching up with my age' now. Come to think about it; my 'snake cousin' will be tying his knot this coming September with his gal beau for about ten years of courtship.........Wah loi.......Ehhh......It sounds more married or even bored of courtship already liau............Ten long years of courtship; for me it sounds crazy..............And it happens to most of my paternal cousins...........Makes life sound so dull facing him/her daily.........When you are married to him/her; you will be facing him/her on 24/7 daily meaning every minute..........

Especially when Chinese New Year is around the corner................When will you be getting hooked up with a guy?????Especially coming out from the Ah Sam, Aunties from my paternal sides..........Sometimes; I would be up to my non-sense sense of humour to break the so called match making keh poh people from my paternal side...............Helloo................If the 'right one' like the 'knight in shining armour' does appear before me.......or would I say both my careers and my love life is on track..............Then maybe I would be consider it for a change..................I am a very practical person.........When it comes to money.......In this society; no money no talk..........

Valentine Day...........Gifts, roses, romantic outings or dinners with your 'other half' sure seems different. At least you have someone whom you are able to tell out your deep down heart secrets to..............or just let go of your darn steam or temper........Bloody hell................If there is one..........Anyway.........Still depending on the 'fate' or Mother Nature...........who is playing with us right now.....................Maybe the 'independent' nature in me...........still seek more adventures especially travelling into unknown places which I have not stepped into yet........

New Hope????

Okay........looking for jobs nowadays take twice the effort which I usually need to ask around or even 'bermuka tembok' to look in the net as well as through others recommendation. Look at it this way; at least I still have the capabilities to earn my living and not just stagnant.........in only one company in a one set of mind.............With the attitude 'I am right and you are wrong'.......

Sometimes the stupid assholes people you meet during your working life or even the charitable organizations whom some claim will ease the lifes of many. Put them in short; everyone whom I have come across are either darn 'HUGE HEAD' or 'BLOWING OWN TRUMPETS' about their capabilities in achieving their goals and enjoy 'pijak-ing' others who are non-professionals either on the 'non-executive' levels..........Hey......assholes out there......we are just anyone out there who is earning a decent living............Although we are not 'professionals' like some but we still have our own self-esteem as well as pride in what we are doing. I have seen some professionals who are like 'Ah Pet' or 'Ah Lian' style of speaking or even treating staffs worse than a non-graduate employer..............In terms of attitude.......those non-graduate although they may be lacking in education but in mannerism or even treatment.......they still treat you with respect......................However; on the other hand those with professional qualifications whom I have came across are either too boastful about their achievements or even their paycheck........Some cannot even speak proper English.......And you call yourself a graduate........
Don't let the overseas universities professors 'tegur' you about your language structure or even the attitude in gaining knowledge..........Every universities which I have came across have one thing in common which is .................Why on earth the students in the Asean countries enjoy being 'copycats' of others works??????

At least; we do not cheat, lie or even steal from others......................for a living.......Don't be surprised even professionals do that.......Some will be claiming I have worked in so and so for a number of years as so and so..........But when it comes to the level of communications they are either like ASSHOLES or without any self standing in what they do..........Or would I call them the 'YES DOGS'.............These are the types of people whom I have come across to........through my years of working but they are still weirder people some will be shocked to speak to them or even making friends..............

Going Bonkers

Put it this way, with the people whom I had dealt with throughout the working years : SURE MAKES YOU BONKERS............in layman terms I am going to go CRAZY!!!! Not only that, with the interviews by prospective employers; if there is any recommendations by whoever or so if there is luck in there anyway; or even job hunting session. Practically doing it daily and it drives my nerves to the position in admitting myself to a mental asylum any moment.

Sucks!!! Here it goes again : Still applying for my dream job if there is any or if there is any possibilities in doing so...............Expanding the brain to the maximum limit or even learning from the impossible things can be made happen although it takes up a lot of effort, time and even EYE POWER in looking out for jobs since now with the coming festive season and all the more the keen eyes for details in the prospective jobs for me to earn my money and I mean future big bucks to come...................

Nothing is impossible when we put our minds into achieving them but do not make use of religion as a mean of livelihood : Some intentions may be good but in my opinion it is better to have a commercial permanent posting than to rely on rites, rituals or even magics to make things to happen. It is better to be self reliance than to depend on these methods but only to relieve on one's mind or denial. In real commercial world that is where the real or even actual practice comes in handy : BE COOL, STEADY AND CALM

Another Day

Think about another day pass just like that................a gust of wind sweep through your face. Let's face it.........LIFE is like waves coming from the sea................a vast deep ocean with lots of unexpected things coming from every side or even every corner........Put it this way.......even Fantasia Barrino's movie : LIFE IS NOT A FAIRYTALE........cannot believe it eh?

A Malaysian is just like a Malaysian in blood and even in nature......in short : CHARACTER
Hahahahha..............one would be thinking why an idiot like me is actually writting all of these craps and also at the same still in the midst of job hunting season.....................Most of the employees would be going for a better offer in terms of pay as such.........A good paycheck couples with a good boss as well as in having a hell of a time in doing a job which you love working on it..........That is more of a hobby instead of a job..........You see talking craps again.......

Sometimes talking craps can actually make you feel better in terms of emotions, mentally and even know what you intend to do with a bright career prospects in a really, really fast paced environment........In fact, many would be taking for granted being single has its advantages......Sure one thing for sure you would not be asking permission or checking with your partner whether the schedule thingy fits in both of your plans.............Or even unexpected situations might arise from there...........

The LORD is certainly testing my strength, endurances, determinations, preseverance as well as patience......For your additional information patience is not one of my virtues : Can easily 'slaughter' a person with my stares and even mood swings if that person has just sabotage me.....
