Gimme Grease & Oil!!! GAAAHHHH!!!
I'm in one of those moods I just wanna stuff my face with some greasy, fatty, high cholesterol food. I had lunch with my bf today and I ordered Pork Mee. And I caught sight of this uncle eating a plate of Hokkien Mee and I felt like having that too, but since I already made my order, Hokkien Mee will have to wait. Why am I in such a mood for greasy, oily, blood vessel clotting, cholesterol laden food? Cos my boss is being a real gigantic prick today!!! GAAAAHHH!!! It somehow triggered dunno which mad unstable nerve of mine to unleash the chemicals that tells my neurons to send messages to my brains and instruct me to consume fatty food.

Greasy food I like to eat occasionally:
1) Hokkien mee with extra "zhu-yau-zhar" (I call them cholesterol pills)
2) Deep fried chicken
3) Siew Yuk - must have the crispy top, the fats in the middle and the meat at the bottom.
4) Zhu Geok - pork leg, the fatty fatty part.
5) Pork Knuckles
6) Lamb cutlets
7) Pork chops
8) Roast duck
9) Char Siew - must be "boon fei sau" (BBQ pork, 1/2 fat 1/2 meat)
10) Fried kuey teow

Sometimes when I'm upset or really *bengang over something (in this case, it's someone), I tend to turn to food as my way of destressing myself. I won't consume a lot, just give me something to munch on and somehow eating calms me down a bit. At least my mind will be focusing on chewing and enjoying my food, rather than the problem/person. Heck, it may not necessary be fatty food all the time. Gimme a pork/lamb rib and I'm as happy as a clam. I can sit down and gnaw on that rib while watching tv, and you won't even be able to find a single scrap of flesh or skin once I'm fully done with the rib. I would probably chew the bones as well, but my teeth aren't that strong to do that right now. Bones are nice to chew on ok, all the nice juices and flavours. Which explains why doggies like gnawing bones. I can even gnaw on the roast duck drumstick for a good 30 minutes, just gnawing and biting the little scrapes of meat and skin. Yummy... but this is something I only do at home... *ahem* :P


*bengang - malay word, it means frustrated

Ok, forgive me for that sudden outburst. But the day did't exactly go very well for me today. Lotsa swearing and cursing, but all under my breathe of course :P *ahem* When you're working with so many different personalities and characters, it blows the mind to see how pathetically stupid some of these characters can be. Mind you a lot of these characters are experienced people with high ranking jobs and really nice titles accompanying their names. To think that such people would have more sense and knowledge before saying / doing something... Boy, was I wrong.

I need to get out and catch my breath...

Feeling Bombed Out
It's uncanny. You drag yourself out of bed everyday, get dressed, head to the office and clock in. For those of you who's using the swipe system, well good for you cos that's what you call "hi-tech & advance". For some people like yours truly (and my many colleagues), we still use the ancient "punch-card" system. Even trainees need to clock in (wtf?) And like many of us, they too are feeling the run-down system here.

I'm not exactly in talking terms with my boss now. Just to refresh your memory, it started like this. After that I decided that it's virtually pointless to have any discussion with that man because the discussion would lead to nowhere. He will only give me the same answer again... "It's like that." It seems that the man is not intend of looking forward and improving. Just because things have been like this for umpteen years, it should remain as it is forever. Unfortunately, sometimes in the business world, things change. And the previous method of working may not fit in, hence changes have to be made right? But if you are working for someone who tells you that your method of working may not be suited for the company, even if it means making the job(s) a hell lot easier and more manageble (not forgetting more LOGICAL), you have to stop working like so and work like the rest of them.

"You have an international thinking, which is good if you're in an international company. But it doesn't work in local companies..."

The above sentence actually reads: Be like the rest of us, blend in. Be part of the team. Never mind if it's the wrong way, just stick to the formula. If you intend to break out of that formula, you will be branded a trouble-maker.

I'm not sorry to say that I lost total respect for my boss. Because I feel he doesn't deserve any more respect from me. But the fault may not be completely his. He's only working here. He doesn't own the company. He's just working for money like most of us are (he's earning big bucks of course). No, I don't have a boss I can look up. I thought I had, but I was wrong. Guess I have to look elsewhere. You don't deserve my all... because my all doesn't mean a thing. You don't like people changing your ideas, your designs. You're dogmatic. You want local, I'll give you local. I'm not giving you an extras.

Bleeehhhh...
1) My manager irritates me.

2) Dumbasses want some photos replaced. Emailed only half of the photos with lousy photography, the rest use the old photography. Bleeeehhhh...

3) This morning electricity around this area was cut off for about an hour. How I wished it would last the whole day...

4) I'm so sick of this place...

Senior Citizens Have A Rockin' Good Time
I attended a dinner & dance in Klang last Saturday with my family. It was organised by some old folks association in Klang (I can't remember the name... some HRC-something. Not Hard Rock Cafe). My dad's friend asked my dad to buy a table (it's for charity). It was pretty cool idea and we've never attended such functions so it was pretty interesting to be there. Plus my dad's friend was going to be performing with his band so hey, all for charity! The dinner was at Hai Tien Lou Restaurant, Taman Rasnah I think.

Dinner was only served at 8.30pm, for which by the time we were all famished. The MC for the night was Fabien Jesse James of Hitz.fm. I think his mum is one of the members of that senior citizen committee? Not to sure about that lar, but it was pretty cool to meet a celebrity DJ. He welcomed all the guests (before dinner was served) and then the President made her short speeh and we all began to eat the 1st course. Background music was provided by a live band, playing "Light & Easy" type of songs.

In between the courses, there were other live performances as well. One special one was from a certain violin player. He's 85 this year, but still very strong & healthy (despite being a little deaf). He played a few numbers (accompanied by his son-in-law on the guitar and a drummer) and it was fantastic. Everyone was cheering and clapping and you could see the 85-year-old man just brimming from ear to ear. You could see he was really having a good time on stage. Some of the senior folks even went up to the floor and danced.

Later another band went up on stage and performed several numbers. The band was called "The Evergreen" and my dad's friend was the bass guitarist. 85-year-old uncle still had quite a few dance moves *wink* The senior folks were definitely having a good time. After all, this dinner & dance was for them to chill out and have some clean fun. It warms the heart to see them mingling about, chatting, drinking, singing and just having a good time... And it's obvious that to them, age is only a number. You're only old if you let yourself think you're old. Stand up, go out and do something fun (don't break any laws now)! Don't let anyone tell you you're too old for anything. If they do, just tell them to go fly kite. Just because you're a little bit over the hill doesn't mean you can't stop having fun :)

A Heart Warming Tale
I was on the way to work this morning and as usual, just as we were reaching the Section 17 turn-off (from Jln Damansara, Sprint highway. Heading towards Section 17 & Phileo Damansara direction), traffic slowed a little. Bumper to bumper, but the cars were still moving. We were just in front of the Damansara Intan office blocks when I saw something that really really moved my heart.

On the opposite direction of the Sprint highway (heading towards SS 2 & NKVE), I saw a guy stopping his car on the far left hand side of the highway. He got down, and promptly ran across the highway, amidst the many speeding cars zooming past him. I couldn't get a real look at his face, but he was wearing a bright yellow shirt and dark green pants. What was he doing, I thought to myself? Could he had dropped something and decided to risk his neck crossing the highway just to retrieve whatever it was? That was what my bf and I thought... maybe he dropped something.

But as our car inched a few feet more (bumper to bumper traffic remember?), I caught sight of a little black kitten, perched on top of the highway divider! It was sitting on the concrete block, which was just wide enough for it. I pointed it out to my bf and asked, how on earth did the kitten wind up on the highway?!? And right on the divider too! The poor looking kitten was stuck there with no where to go and was just sitting there. And to our suprise, the man in yellow shirt actually crossed the highway to rescue that black kitten! OMG! The man... risked his life to save the lost little black kitten!

Now I know many of you would probably think what the man did was rather stupid. All for a silly kitten, you might say. But I felt that what the man did was beyond love for animals. First, he had a damn good eyesight to see that small kitten perched on the divider. Second, he was so brave to cross the highway to rescue the kitten. While most people wouldn't even notice the kitten (I probably won't too, since most people would be zooming past), somehow this man did. And he risked life and limb to save the little kitten. I thought that was such a sweet gesture, and just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. It's people like this man that reminds you that no matter how harsh this world may be, there is still some compassionate people out there with a heart as pure as gold. It reminds me that mankind still has hope.

To the man in yellow shirt, what you did this morning on the Sprint highway was probably one of the sweetest things I've witnessed in my whole life. You chose to stop your car and risk your life crossing the highway to rescue that little black kitten. I don't know how many people saw your brave move this morning, but I saw you and your actions and I just want to say that you're a wonderful person. Had you not rescue the kitten, it would probably attempt to cross the busy highway and get itself killed. Even if the kitten didn't cross the highway, it could have died on the divider under the hot afternoon sun. You have a good heart, dear sir. You're living prove that caring Malaysians still exist. And I hope both the kitten and you will lead a wonderful and happy life together.

Thursday Thoughts
1) I smell like banana leaf now... the rain kept us from seeking food down hill. Bleeeehhhh... Sometimes I wish a cafe of some sort would open here. At least we'll have more variety. The food down hill taste bland. I cannot imagine the long serving staff here eating the same type of cooking style for 5-10 years *shudder*

2) I'm hearing more vulgarity from some people here. The word "fuck" is in just about every sentence these days. Alongside words like "tiu", "chibai", "puki", "sohai", "bastard", "chow hai" etc. I think they're running out of vulgar words soon...

3) I'm bored

4) My blog looks fine in Mozilla & Firefox. But in IE, the right column has been pushed down. Fuck IE.

5) I'm sleepy.

6) Why is it getting warm in here? What's up with the air-con?

7) *sigh*

The Finger Guide for Dummies
*this post is not meant to be in any way offensive. I was just bored.

There are a variety of finger signs. Many of which are understood worldwide. Here's just a sample list of some finger guides.


The "thumbs-up" sign. Usually used when something good happens. Example: "Eh I heard you had a good shag yesterday?" "You bet your arse man! *thumbs up*"


The "thumbs-down" sign. The exact opposite of the "thumbs-up" sign. Example: "This place is sibeh lousy *thumbs-down*"


The "kicik-molek" sign. Usually used to mock/tease. Example: "Your dick is like naaaahhhhh!!! *kicik-molek*"


The "Courtesy Finger" sign. Probably one of the most famous signs to be displayed. Especially common among drivers. Example: "WTF?!? Cut into my lane you *toot-toot-toot* *Courtesy Finger*"


The "Popping Palm" sign. Also effective when driving, especially during traffic jams. This sign is the advance mode of the "Courtesy Finger" sign. Example: "MHCCP! *toot-toot-toot-toot-toot-toot* *popping palm*"


The " In-Out" sign. If you want to buy a lock & key but don't know how to communicate in the local dialect, this sign can be used. Example: "I want to buy lock & key? There, like that wan ler? *In-Out* *In-Out"


What other finger signs can you think of?

Pork Conference (Non-Halal Post)
This morning... *phone buzzes*

B: "Pork Conference in 20 minutes!" *click*

M: *snigger* "Hey people... Pork Conference in 20 mins lar"

B walked into the room...

B: "You know what's the best part of the conference? The garnishing!"

M: *laughs*

B: "Really. The 'yim sai' (coriander), the sauce, the oil..."

M: *laughs some more*

B: "And you know what the worst part of it all? When you order 'you fan' (oily rice)."

"Ah-so, yat kor siew yuk fan, oi yau fan ah" (Ah-so, one crispy pork rice, oily rice ah)

"Mou sai yau fan ah!" (No more oily rice ah)

"Wah tiuuuu!!!" (WTF?)

I have mad colleagues.

The Courtesy Finger
Everyone knows about the 'Courtesy Finger'. It's an international a universal sign. People both young and old understand it when you display it. It's probably every driver's favourite finger sign, just before the index "Pointy Finger'. Most of the time the Courtesy Finger is displayed when a person is in a rather "happy" mood. Like when another car cuts into your lane without signalling, forcing you to slam on your brakes and possibly hitting your head against the steering heel and end up with a concussion. You then scream happy profanities at the top of your lungs at the driver and wave the Courtesy Finger.

I normally don't display my Courtesy Finger. The most I'll do is maybe cuss under my breathe and hope the smart driver that cut into my lane without signalling end up having warts on his balls. Or maybe hope that the BMW that parked his big big car onto 2 carpark lots end up with a new paint job.Yesterday was a different story. Yesterday, I displayed my Courtesy Finger.

Earlier during the day, I cleaned out my wardrobe. I packed my old clothes which were still in minty condition and stuffed them into plastic bags. At last, now I can see what's actually BEHIND the 1st stack of clothes. I didn't realise I had actually accumulated so many clothes *grin* Some of which I never got the chance to wear, and can no longer wear. So I decided to give my old but-in-good-condition clothes away. Later at night, my bf & I drove to our local neighbourhood point and proceeded to drop the bags of old clothes into the large donation bin. After that, we got into the car and proceeded to drive off.

Right in front of us was a dark blue BMW 2-door 3 series (the older model). It was driven by a young man, no more than 25 years. And next to him was his ah-lian girlfriend, complete with blonde streaks on her hair. This young ahbeng was in the process of parking his father's BMW into a parking bay, butt first. Normally, you would drive forward a bit, then position your steering and reverse right? The ahbeng did just that... The only problem was, he took too long to position the car. He looked as though he didn't know how to switch the gear to reverse. He got the forward gear, and was fumbling over the reverse. Probably took his father's car to impress the new chick, but didn't really know how to drive one. And the car was actually blocking the road.

My bf & I were just watching him position his car to reverse. After a while, the ahbeng got into reverse mode and reversed his car slowly into the parking bay. As he was doing that, the path he was blocking slowly opened up, just wide enough for my bf's car to drive through. Not wanting to block the road further, we drove through the wide-enough spot. And what does the ahbeng do? He honks us. He f*cking honks us for driving pass him. WTF? I conveniently flashed him my Courtesy Finger, and I goddamn hope that ahbeng saw it. Stupid ahbeng. Don't know how to drive BMW, don't drive one. And ah-lians that are impressed by ahbengs driving big cars are just as stupid.

Oprah & Paula
Everyone knows about The Oprah Winfrey show. It's probably the most popular talk show in the world, alongside David Letterman & Jay Leno. Hosted by Oprah Winfrey (who recently gave away brand new Pontiacs to all of her vieweres during one of the shows), this show is one of my favourites. Although I don't follow it every week (it's on Astro Channel 70 StarWorld, every Sunday, 7pm), I've always like The Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah talks just about everything under the sun. She can bring the superstars on her shows, she can bring politicions on her shows, hell she can even bring in the President if she wants to! The way she is able to relate to her audience worldwide is phenomenal. I salute her. Because of her, many people, especially women, have gained tremendous amount of courage & respect. She makes you believe.

Now recently, Malaysia was featured in her programme. The programme was called "Around The World With Oprah" Basically the agenda of the programme was talking about 30-year old women from across the globe and what life is in their country. Malaysia was one of the countries featured in the programme. And the woman selected (she was hand-picked by the people from Harpo Productions) to represent Malaysia was Paula Malai Ali. *gasp* Yes, VJ Paula. Just for the record, Paula didn't fly to Chicago for the Oprah show. Everything was recorded prior to the show. This is how Paula described life for a 30-year old woman in Malaysia:

*Currency exchange: USD1 = RM3.80
1) Paula pays about USD250 dollars to rent her three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment- Pantai area (that's about RM950)
2) An average 30-year old woman in Malaysia will earn something like USD1,500 – USD2,000 dollars a month (excuse me?!?)
3) Because a 30-year old woman in Malaysia earn that much, every month they have plenty of change left over to buy that pair of must-have Jimmy Choos (come again?!?)
4) 30-year old women in Malaysia go for massages in upmarket places like Damansara Heights and is very affordable.
5) Malaysian women don't pluck or wax. We thread. It's painless and cost RM5.

Read about the Oprah programme here. Star Online has an article about it here & here.

I have no problems with Paula being featured. She has great personality and very charming. Despite the fact she's from Brunei *ahem* but moved to Malaysia many years ago and loves the country. But many people did question if someone more appropriate should be featured. Some said maybe Ashe Gill. Some said maybe Sheila Majid. But then again the selection was done by people at Harpo so their decision is final lar. The question I want to pose to you is... who would be your pick, if given the chance?

I would pick Marina Mahathir. Ok, she may not be in her 30s anymore, but I think she represents Malaysia well. She's the President of the Malaysian AIDS Council. She's been involved in lotsa charity and awareness work around the globe. She's a strong woman and a mother. And she's not afraid to speak her mind. And I'll bet she knows more about life in Malaysia for women in their 30s better than Paula. Cos not all 30-something women earn 6 grand a month and not all of them can buy Jimmy Choos. If it really has to be a woman in her 30s, my pick would be Sheila Majid.

The Bra's Supremacy
Frangipanix's blog entry on "The Bra's Conspiracy" was very enlightening. She spoke about how women can't get enough of buying bras. I agree with that theory. Yes, we can't get enough of undergarments! The very sight of lingerie sends shivers down our spine, and our brain cells will send signals to our eyes to zoom in closer for a better look. Then the brain will send signals to our legs to start walking towards the lingerie direction. Then our heart will start to pump more blood into the body, our pace quickens and our arms will extend to grasp the soft silky feeling of the bras on display. That, my friend... is the power of THE BRA. You can't escape the lure.

So why can't we get enough of bras? First and foremost, bras are sexy. They represent feminity. Different types of bras potray a different type of feeling or image. A cotton bra would potray a very down-to-earth sort of person. A sports bra would potray a very sporty & active person. A black lacy bra would potray someone adventurous. A transparent-almost-nothing-there bra would potray a kinky person. Bras (in Thailand) that have holes in all the wrong places potray a slutty person. You see the many differences in bras? Do you? Huh? Huh?

Each bra emits a different meaning. Wearing the right bra at the right time for the right occasion speaks a whole lot about the person wearing it. It shows that the wearer actually took a whole lot of consideration when buying the bra. This is something men wouldn't fully understand *hehehe* A good bra can actually make a woman feel sexy & confident. When a woman feels sexy & confident about herself, it's only natural she carries herself well, right? Many times women wear the wrong type of bra underneath their clothings. Quite *'potong stim' if you see a tight fitting top on some bombshell with a nice set of boobs, only to see her lacy bra lining. But then again, if she has a nice set of flashlights, who cares about the bra right? LOL.

What's sexier than the wearing the right bra... is wearing the bra with a matching set of panties. Long ago, I couldn't really be bothered about matching my bras with my panties. There was no emphasis to it. When you're a student, you couldn't really care less cos you don't have the money to buy your own lingerie you know. Plus lingerie ain't cheap. But lately I've been cleaning out my wardrobe and decided that I should be replacing some of my old lingerie with newer ones. I go a wee bit crazy when I go lingerie shopping, as most women do (don't deny it ladies). So many cute designs, so many colours. And I've been pretty selective over my choices. It's sometimes cheaper to actually get matching sets you know. A lot of brands now prepare matching lingerie sets for you to choose from. And when you wear a matching set, the feeling is totally different... for me at least. Haha! You feel... complete. Hell it feels good lah! Enough said. And admit it guys, men like to see their partners in matching lingerie right?

And wearing the right bra also means your breasts has better support and structure. And better structure means firmness and possibly defy gravity a little longer. That's why it's so important for women to wear the correct bra. Because aside from your eyes, people will be looking at your breasts as well. That's why they are situated at the front. To be seen. So it makes sense to have a nice healthy looking pair of boobs when people are talking to you. It's not a matter of small or large, it's how you carry yourself.

WonderBra, Comestic Bra, Push-Up Bra, Lacy Bra, Satin Bra, whatever is it... the BRA rules.

*potong stim - slang for mood killer

An International Thinking
What does it mean to you when someone says you have "an international thinking"? Leave aside the vocabulary error... Let's just say that during a one-to-one discussion, the person you're having a discussion with says this to you: "You have an international thinking".

That sentence was relayed to me a few months back. At first I was kinda dumb-founded because I didn't quite get the meaning. Then, as the other party explained further, it dawned to me that the other party was actually trying to say that my nature of work is done systematically. But, instead of using the word 'systematically' or even 'professionally', the other person chose to say that I have an international mindset. International? Why international?

He explained further that the way I do things, the method I chose to adopt is:
1) systematic
2) get as much info & research done as possible before starting a project to minimise double work & delays
3) reduce / eliminate last minute jobs (time management lar)

I was confused. Is that what's known as having an international mindset? Isn't that considered working in a professional manner? Was I doing something wrong? So what's the REAL method of getting the job done? This person continued to tell me that things don't work that way in this organisation. It's good to have "an international thinking" but it's not really suited for this "local" organisation? WTF?!?

I asked myself... What is this man trying to convey to me? Why is he telling me all this stuff? What's the hidden message? This is the first time someone has actually said to me that I have "an international thinking". Hold on, this is not "an international thinking". This is working in an orderly manner. Working in a professional manner and with proper management skills. This has nothing to do with being international or local. So he's trying to tell me that I should adopt the current "chaotic manner" of doing things in the organisation? To do things last minute? To be "local"?

After that conversation with this person, I lost total respect for him.

R.I.P Superman


Read the reports here and here.

God bless Superman *sniff*

Hologram Device
I'm sure you've seen some movies where the male actor is living somewhere in the distant future, complete with his own studio apartment, really hi-tech gadgets, metal and aluminium all over the place, sophisticated glassware & furniture (and possibly a damn chun concept car) and a hologram device. Hologram... now the very first time I heard the word 'hologram' was from a 1980s cartoon series called 'Jem & The Holograms'. The group was made out of supposedly hawt-looking chicks with tonnes of makeup and wild boppy hair (it was the 80s ok). Already in the 80s, words like 'hologram' was being bombarded at me... but being the blur sotong I was at that age (am still a blur sotong every now and then), that was just a cartoon and the creators used really big words.

Fast forward to the future... The word 'hologram' is nothing new anymore. The technology is being used extensively, especially on the big screen where futuristic movies are concerned. Like in the movie I, Robot. The dead scientist left a hologram device with his message inside for Will Smith to decipher. No need to use 3M stickies or post-it notes or even send an SMS. Holograms are the future babeh!

And once a while, in futuristic movies, you get some lonely guy playing around with his hologram chick, like in the movie The Sixth Day. This guy has a hologram vixen for company. Feeling lonely? She greets you with her sexy voice and seductive pose. Feeling lousy? She praises and worships you like some god. Feeling horny? She... *ahem*... I'll leave that to your imagination.

So when do you think basic hologram devices like such will reach the mass market? The next time we're at home, we can set a hologram butler to greet our guests before they walk through the door (or throw them out). Or maybe we can set a hologram device to remind us of important dates like birthdays and anniversaries and when to feed the dog. Or maybe when the girls wanna throw a slumber party, they can set a bronze hologram hunk to do a strip dance. Then men can go set a PlayBoy playmate as their hologram vixen. What else can you think of?

Lessons Learnt
1) When your house gets broken into, the police should arrest you because you failed to install stronger tougher grills to prevent thieves.

2) When someone rams into your stationery car, bang your head against the wall because you parked at that spot, allowed people to bang your car.

3) When someone shouts profanities at you, slap yourself silly because you allowed the person to shout at you.

4) When someone robs you of your handbag, the police should arrest you because you allowed the robber to make off with your bag.

5) When someone sets fire to your house, the police should arrest you because you allowed your house to be set on fire.

So what else have you learnt this week?

Mid Week Rants
My boss just handed my colleague and I a new assignment. Well, we don't consider it new... in fact, we have been approached to do that very same job a long long long time ago. And after a very very very very long delay, the job crept back to us again... this time the dumbass client wants an entirely new proposal and concept. And we have until Friday to come up with the new idea. Right... we'll start on it tomorrow then *wide grin*. My colleague and I can't be bothered anymore about any jobs coming from Malaysia's dominant telco operator. Any job from them is a never ending job. Things will never get done. We propose today, they will hoo-haa for several weeks, we start the job, they hoo-haa some more, delay delay, hoo-haa again, delay even more. Eventually things die down, the project will die down, and everything will be silent. What happens next? The project gets stalled cos the telco guys can't make up their mind what they want, and keep hoo-haa-ing each other. So what's left is a half done, incomplete, left to rot and collect cobwebs project to our already long list of dead-end project list. Bummer...

It doesn't help when you're feeling a little under the weather as well. I feel a tad uncomfortable today. The feeling is something only women would understand *ahem* My tummy is rumbling something weird, but it's pretty normal especially during my first day *ahem* I feel like a leaking tap. And to think I have to be a leaking tap every month until I hit menopause, oh man. But I suppose we girls have it easier than the guys, I was told. I don't know how true her words are (she could be lying to me), but she told me that guys get their erection every morning and it's tough on them? Haha, I really don't know lar, guess I have to ask the guys if that is true :P So girls, if your guy friends laugh at you because you're having your period, tell them maybe one fine day, the Creator of Man might just let the men experience having menstrul cycles *ahaks* And it'll be green, not red!!! ROTFL I'm so mean :P

Today...
Today I scolded a Jr. Art Director. And I did it right in front of my colleagues. He goddamn deserved it. You've been working here for 2 years and you still have the cheek to come and tell me you don't know how to transfer files from the public server into your own work station. I have half a mind to shove the entire G4 way up your ass. Why is the Creative Director keeping you here, I really don't know. How you even landed the job is way beyond anyone's understanding. Stupid moron.

Death Of A Rodent
When I came home on Saturday evening, I checked on my rodents. As usual they were still sleeping & in dreamland. But one had already left us...



I picked up her cage and gently blew at her to wake her up. She didn't budge. Thinking that maybe she didn't realise I was kacau-ing her, I gently blew again. I looked closer, and realised she had stopped breathing. My heart skipped a beat, and suddenly my eyes just filled with tears. I burst into tears and just cried like a baby. I said to my rodent, why didn't she wait for me to come back. Why did she leave without saying goodbye? I just sat on the floor petting her & sobbing uncontrollably. Her body was hard but not completely hard which indicated she probably died a couple of hours ago. She was considered an old hamster, almost 2 years old. A few weeks back I suspected she suffered a mild stroke, but she recovered after about 1 week and was back to her normal self, albeit some slow movements.

I will miss her. And I hope that where ever she is, she is happy.
