Condo Living
I know I've been ranting about some high profilers creating trouble within the condo community I'm living in. Do excuse me if the postings about Bucktooth and such bore you, it's just that condo living has been made complexed by the very existance of such characters.

Honestly, I like the condo community I've moved into. When we first saw the showunit, hubby and I fell in love with the layout of the place. Hence we paid the deposit and etc etc. On top of that we've made friends with some very wonderful people and have become close friends. A lot of times, condo living is very much dependant on the type of people living there. In our case, the people have been very friendly and close knit. We know we can always count on our neighbours to look after our house should we be away for a few days :)

Also, when it comes to festivities and such, it's really nice to see a big group of people, family and friends all coming together and just having a good time. Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, like one big extended family under one roof.

The only drawback in the condo I'm in is... the existance of a bunch of old uncles who thinks they own every single piece of tile in the condo. Frankly, these guys are nothing but trouble. A couple of them are retired and with too much time on their hands, they would rather go around 'cari pasal' rather than enjoy their retirement and travel the world. Weird people you say? Oh, they're not weird. They're just eccentric. You know how some old people can be, they crave for attention. Unfortunately, this bunch has done some damage and is giving them quite a bad rep among residents.

They have a funny hobby too: First they cucuk someone, then when that someone comes and hentam them, they flatly deny it and say other people are conspiring against them. They just luurrrvvveee to get other people into trouble, be it residents, management, security guards, even the salon operating downstairs isn't spared. Tsk! Tak tau malu!

Old people... tsk... Why you so liddat...

How caaaannnn?
How caaaannnn? How can you not recognise the song that was playing? You're only 3 years younger than me wei... Does that make me sound so much older than you? :P

You're still an 80s baby mar, so how can you not appreciate 80s music har? I can understand if that chilli padi next to you doesn't recognise some of the songs being played... but you? Shucks... How a few years can make such a difference...

I can forsee in the next 5 years or less, we're going to be lamenting how OUR generation grew up without mobile phones, without the internet and without Astro.Just like how the generation before us lamented on not having the things available today. The young generation these days would scratch their hands and see us as ancient beings roaming the earth. HAHA! What a cycle.

In the next 20 years, the generation then will see OUR generation as museum artifacts! What a way to be remembered... blek!

Of Rumours and Judgement
A close neighbour of mine recently asked if she could highlight my wedding blog in our condo newsletter, stating that some neighbours have asked her "who is oliviasy". Hah! People are actually asking about me! Fu-wah, glamour sangat XD

"Actually, some neighbours have heard some stories about you... stories about you being rude to another high profile neighbour..." my close neighbour said in her email to me.

Moi? Rude to a high profile neighbour. Fu-wah!

Frankly, I know who's the high profile neighbour my friend was referring to. And honestly, I don't see how I can be rude to him when I don't even have any interaction with him. Or perhaps it's one of his ways to taint my reputation. Then again, it is something this high profile neighbour is pretty good at. He has been going around spreading stories about anyone that's not on his side (several of my other neighbours are also in his blacklist).

Weird, isn't it? Going around telling stories and saying how others are mistreating you, when you yourself have been mistreating others. Honestly, I don't really give a damn about what he says about me cos his stories all take a different turn each time he tells it. If you're listening and taking in his words, then I hope you're smart enough to make your own judgement, and not let him determine how you should think.

Judge me only when you know me. Because if you don't know me, then you have no right to judge me.

Bucktooth
Now if you've been following my blog, you would've remembered some of my previous blog postings about how colourful my condo community is. It is further complicated by some old fucks who just love to meddle into anybody's business and expect every resident to give them "respect" and bow to their every whim... all because they are "older" and own one little unit in the condo.

The leader of this group of old fucks is Bucktooth (actually this fella has loads of nicknames, but Bucktooth suits him quite well cos even braces can't save his face). Many of us don't fully comprehend what goes on in his puny little bald head.

He's a rightful owner and resident, yet acts as if he owns the entire condo. He talks like some triad leader and is very boastful. He enjoys telling stories (or lies) about his acheivements and the many people he's connected too. No one is bothered to really find out if he's telling the truth, and we all know how some old people can be. They enjoy talking and making up stories just to get some form of attention. And you know what they say: The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

The worse part of Bucktooth is probably his ability to create problems, then come in as a hero to solve it. Ah yes, what better way to campaign for himself, eh? First you stir some shit, then you quietly leave and let others pick it up, then you come back in and say you'll find out who made that shit. Typical, eh? He's got all the makings of a two-faced politician ;)

Bucktooth has also made several enemies in the community. He just can't seem to stay out of trouble. Already a retired old man, and yet he just has to stir problems among the residents and act like some kind warlord. And the good part is, he has his own pack of cronies, people who like to create trouble just like Bucktooth himself. Actually, his cronies have grown much smaller because apparently there has been some internal conflict, resulting in some of his cronies leaving him to bite the dust. And Bucktooth will do what he does best. If you're not on his side, he'll do (or say) anything to tarnish your reputation.

Bucktooth is a disgrace to the senior citizens in this country. He has no respect for anyone (even for himself) and expect YOU to respect him. He acts like some triad leader and talks like one too. I think a lot of people wish he get beaten up one day. Maybe he should get  robbed/kidnapped one day, since he's been going around boasting he struck the lottery and got a handsome amount.

My Weight and Me (a love story)
I've always had trouble gaining weight. Don't ask me why lar, I donch know how to answer that question! I've always been on the very skinny side even during my younger days. The small petite, skinny frame jakun, and with spectacles to boot! Can imagine how I looked like hor? Like a freak! Freddy Gruger probably looked better! Blek!

Once my mum got concerned about my light weight, and dragged me to the doctor for a checkup. After the inspection, the good doctor gave me clean bill of health. Nothing wrong with me, I'm just underwight lor. But because I'm underweight, I get tired easily. Not enough fats to burn off, so I get burnt out real fast. Maklumlah thin people like yours truly got no energy to last long...

I'm thin. I've always been thin. Plus I'm not exactly the tallest person (I'm 5ft 2inches), but hey, I'm not a shorty either. I guess I'm just your average gal on the street :D The only diferrence is... I take a lot longer to gain weight than most people. And I can lose weight faster than I can gain them back! o.O

A lot of people will say "Aiyo, you so thin. Must eat more you know!" Oh boy, I've heard that line so many times, I can practically write a book about it. It's not that I don't want to gain some weight. I do want to gain some weight, at least I won't look so thin and I'll look better in clothes. It's just that weight gain is not something that can happen overnight for me. I really have to 'work' to gain any weight. By work I mean sexercise exercise.

Since the year started, my weight has been lingering at 40 - 42 kilos. Ok now, before some of you throw a brick at me, I was under 40 kilos during my high school years and that was eons ago. Do you realise how hard it was for me to reach the number 40 on the scale?!? It's a monumental task I kid you not! I weighed myself recently, and I'm 43 kilos right now. Woohoo! I'm very close to acheiving my target weight of 45 kilos! :D

Sometimes shopping for clothes can be tricky too. I have to be careful not to dress in anything that may make me look like a toothpick under a lamp shade. I have to be smart to find clothes that can accentuate whatever sexy curves I possibly have *HAHAHAHAHA* and enhance my body/boobs (if any) and buttocks (if any). Sometimes the piece of clothing I really like is not available in my size :( Ah well, trials and tribulations of life I guess.

If you were to ask me, yes I would much prefer to be skinny rather than obese. But don't think that being skinny is everything wonderful too. Skinny people also go through lotsa heckling and problems, the problems are not so obvious that's all.

Happy holidays y'all. I'll catch you guys after the Raya break. Salam Aidilfitri!

Shark's Fin No More
October 2nd, 2006, Sg Petani. It was hubby's youngest brother's wedding, typical chinese 8-course meal. As always, the dinner started with the usual 4-season combination, followed by shark's fin soup and the rest.

While slurping the soup, I turned to hubby and said this would be my last bowl of shark's fin soup. I vow never to eat another bowl again. What made me decide to quit eating this delicacy, I really don't know. But I guess the crazy part of me just decided to stop eating it. Anyway, there's really nothing special about this dish other that it's made of plenty of starch. There really is nothing great about this dish at all. Sure in the olden days, this dish was for the rich and famous, and supposedly an aphrodisiac dish. Do you really believe that by eating shark's fin, your libido will get a boost? Get real people. You either can get it up, or you can't XD

I think the chinese will eat anything in this world. If there's anything thay can eat, they'll probably make up an excuse to eat it!

And if you've watched documentaries on how the fins are obtained, it's really sickening. The poor shark's fin is cut off from them (and they're still alive!), and the poor shark is tossed back into the ocean to die. Sad, isn't it? It's like removing a person's kidney while he's alive, then tossing the poor man into the streets to die. Urgh... Plus pregnant women are advised not to consume shark's fin soup cos of the high levels of mercury.

Hubby is supportive of my idea. And I told him he can have my share if he wants to. I'm not forcing him or anyone else to follow my actions. Hubby's been very supportive of me quitting the delicacy :) I don't know how much I can help with shark conservation, but it's a start from me :)

Pink Ribbon

The month of October happens to Breast Cancer Awareness month. I'm sure most of you would've caught the print-ad in the local dailies regarding the roadshows going on.

We all know breast cancer is the leading form of cancer in woman. Unfortunately, many women are also unaware of this fact. perhaps it's the typical human nature that makes us think such occurance will never happen to us, only to others. What we're not aware of is... we're all "other people" to other people.

Last week, the Pink Ribbon roadshow was in 1Utama, and hubby and I made our trip there (actually, I had mentioned to hubby that I had wanted to drop by the roadshow and find out more stuff about it). The booth was located in quite a strategic area, in the new wing and on the same floor with La Senza & Xixili (lingerie boutiques). There were a few women manning the booth, and several leaflets nicely stacked on the tables. A huge pin-up of Liz Hurley in a sweet pink sweater, advocating the public to support the cause, and also a set of silicon breasts on the table for the purpose of self breast examination demo.

Hubby and I stopped by the booth, got some leaflets, and the nice ladies at the booth taught me how to do my own self breast examination on the silison breast, as well as shared with me on some other useful pointers. Then I was to try examining the silicons breasts to "find the lumps". The first silicon breast had no lumps. The 2nd breast had benign lumps, and I found all 4 of them. The 3rd breast had cancerous lumps, and I found all 4 of the lumps again. So the nice ladies were very happy that I found all the lumps, which goes to show I had gotten the method to do breast examination correct :)

Before leaving the booth, the two nice ladies presented us with a pink ribbon each and we pinned it on our shirts. They also gave us extra pink ribbons so that we can share it with our friends.

This is the sad part: The whole time hubby and I were at the booth, not one person stopped to inquire about anything. Which got us suprised: Doesn't anyone care? I mean, is learning about breast cancer such a shy thing? You're learning to do self breast examination the right way, and there were people at the booth who are more than willing to share with you the correct method. Are you too shy to approach them to learn something that could possibly save your life? Are you too afraid to practise the method on some silicon breast, in full view of the crowd?

We were in 1U from 12pm to 4pm. During the whole duration, we did not see anyone else wearing the pink ribbon. Perhaps some people were unaware of the roadshow, or perhaps some choose to be ignorant about thoe whole thing.

The ladies at the booth were very happy when I told them I made my way to 1U for the roadshow, because to them, that means they're getting the message across to the public. I don't know how many people actually stopped by the booth that day, but I hope many of you stopped by and had a chat with the nice ladies and learnt something about breast cancer and how early detection can help save lives.

I've got my pink ribbon. Have you?

*Note: Breast cancer does not only inflict women. About 1% of men can get breast cancer. And breast cancer does not only affect the lives of women. It also affects the lives of the men in their lives.

Harlo? Harlo?
I absolutely detest it when people dial my number, only to find out they dialled the wrong number. Damn kau farn only. First you dialled my number which you thought was your friend or mistress's number. Then when I pick up the call, you keep saying "Harlo Harlo Harlo Harlo?" and nothing else. Then, realising you have dialled the wrong number, instead of apologising, you end the line. First you probably have limited vocab, and second you're being so bloody rude!

And some people, they are practically shouting on the phone! How I hate such people! "Haro! Meenachee ada ka!" or "Haro! Ah Seng ah!" . Why must you shout on the phone? Can't you speak nicely? Is there a need to shout?!?

And some dimwits will call you, but when you pick up the call, the caller keeps quiet. Mah fuck! Got guts to call no guts to answer ka? I had such an encounter before. The swine called me numerous times, and each time he/she will keep very silent. Until I beh tahan, told the swine off over the phone with my geng-chow use of profanities. The swine never called back liao :P *evil laughter*. Chicken shit...

If you dialled the wrong number, just apologise and put down the phone. No need to shout, no need to slam the phone. Some people really have no proper education... Tsk!

Oli : "How's the weather looking, dear?"

Hubby : "Mmmm..." *peeks outside window* "Doesn't look any better..."

Oli : Damn Indonesians! They should get hit by another tsunami for their pathetic actions!"

Hubby : "Eh, no need tsunami. Earthquake enough liao"

Seriously, what is the Indonesian government doing? Every year, their people are killing of the forest, burning everything to clear the land and causing much discomfort to everyone else in this part of the world. The haze is getting more serious every year. And what do the fuckers there do? Keep quiet, let their people keep burning and let the whole world keep cursing them and their future generation. Bloody fucking hell!

The earth should just open up and swallow Indonesia whole. No wait, cannot swallow whole. Cos the Sumatran islands act as a defence island for Peninsular Malaysia, should an earthquake or tsunami strike. Maybe the earth should just open and swallow the Indons whole. Yea, that's a better idea. After all, them Indons are a bunch of good for nothing organisms.

Yea I'm being mean. if your country was covered with thick smog like ours, and you'll be mean to the people causing the haze too. $#^&%*#^(@^*%$#(*(@!!!!

Smog City
You wake up one fine morning, all ready to tackle the big bad world outside, only to be greeted by the *koff koff koff* *haaarrrkkk* goddamn haze.

WTF is wrong with those blardy neighbours of ours? Damn syok ka, burn all the forest down? So syok to play with fire, go burn your blardy house down lar. Chow chee bais never learn, only know how to cause more problems. And the worse part is, the problem becomes everyone's problems. Kanasai...

Already so many people are falling sick. Doctors everywhere are probably laughing all the way to the bank with so many sick patients waiting in queue to see them (and get MC if possible). Everyday citizens like you and me have to brave the thick smog to get to work. What are our politicians doing hor? Probably sitting their cosy little butts in fully air-conditioned room, equipped with some air sterilizer.

Stupid brainless neighbouring country. Good for nothing swines. Only know how to enter other countries and cause havoc. No wonder they have so many natural disasters.

Got back to work today. Busy busy schedule.

I told myself before that I was going to move towards consultancy more. But it looks like that plan may not work out anytime soon... I'm still stuck doing HTML and design, and I loathe it...

I'm feeling like such a dread... Morale is probably at an all-time low here. We're just doing what we're told to do, and believe me when I say the team members are feeling so fucking bored with everything. Kinda like robots programmed to do a certain task.

I'm trying to work out a proper profiling system. Don't know if it will help, but I certainly hope it can be impemented to help us achieve a much better working environment. At least have better control on the projects we work on as well as help us manage our clients better. Things are rather messy right now, and the team have been trying to implement a proper working system since last year, but things can't materialise when you can't get through the higher levels. That's when morale drops to an all-time low and when team members just don't give a damn anymore.

Been there, done that.

Everyone here can work together very well. But circumstances have forced some to just give up and wait for the right time to move on.
