Election day was over last Saturday..... and subsequently the reasons were made known to the people on Sunday. It was described by the media as a political tsunami, a tidal wave of epic proportions in favor of the opposition. Well, in the peninsular anyway.
It was my first time voting this year. Went to the polling centre in the late afternoon, very few ppl there. We all cast our vote calmly and went home after that. On Sunday,the results for my area was he rocket got 10 out of 11 seats they contested for, which was an unforeseen victory.
The power of the people's vote denied the ruling party the 2/3rd majority they had hoped for. Instead they lost 4 of the states that they ruled in the past 4 years.
Election outcomes aside, I'm proud to say that Malaysia had a very peaceful election compared to all other countries. This is a true show of racial unity and democracy. I hope all this would work to the people's favor..... as each party will have a chance to show their worth.
It's election time again in Malaysia. To be exact it's election day tomorrow. 8th of March. All around u can see banners and flags of all the political parties hung in every place imaginable. All of them competing for prime location and competing for the biggest banner to be hung up.
At roundabouts u can see rows and rows of banners hung by all different political parties. The crescent moon, the full moon, the rocket, the weight. If there is a place where one party has made its mark, the other parties will make their mark too... lol!
The election fever affects the whole of Malaysia, not only this peninsular. Take a look at this confused cat from kennysia.com FYI, it's an iconic statue for Kuching, Sarawak.
Anyway, it's not only our nation that has a change of government, it's happening in my department at work now. >.< Just received new that there's gonna be an organizational restructure for our engineering group and this would affect our department. Our beloved boss is gonna be transferred over for development of a new project. For now, we feel like orphans.
Now, it feels like we're stuck in a sinking ship, and the captain has gone. We have 2 navigators but no person to steer the wheel. I'm one of the passengers trying hard to bail the water out of the boat. Yesterday, one of the passengers jumped out of the boat, waving goodbye to us. Now we have less ppl to bail water =.=""
Just had news yesterday that there was to be a new captain to steer the wheel next month. However, the model of the ship he's used to driving isn't same as our model. He probably won't even know about my process.
Sigh. Seems that every company I go to, I face an almost similar situation. Lolzzz....
Yesterday, Barney died. He fell into a bottomless pit of sh*t and couldn't climb out anymore. *sigh*
Those who know what happened will know what I'm talking about. Those who don't will probably think I'm mad.
In the middle of hatching a future business plan..... busy with line issues at the same time....
Sometimes u have an opportunity in front of u, but whether u dare to seize it is up to u. U say u don't like the current situation ur life is in now. But it's also up to u to decide whether u want to change it or not. Maybe ur scared of change and uncertainness in ur future, that's why u slip back into the old comfortableness of a mundane meaningless job.
Anyhow, still in the midst of risk assessing so I don't know how this will turn out. >.<
Yesterday had an 'eventful' day at work..... finally reached my boiling point.
Normally that damn supervisor always tries to manipulate me to say what he wants, and point fingers at me when anything goes wrong at the line. He talked back louder to me as if ppl who talked loud are always right. Well, 2 can play at that game! I just talked one tone louder back to him, and it kept on going till the ppl around us were just looking at me with boggled eyes o.O. Lolz... later on my boss told me that he didn't know I had such a temper in me.... o.O
Well, on my way home I nearly met with a car accident. Have been going home around 8pm these days.... The road home is long and there places which are really dark.... there always are lorries and damn slow cars that drive on the right lane (argh.. hate drivers who are like that!).... the lorry suddenly swerved to my side and I crashed up the low stone divider.... at that moment, I saw something fly off to the side... Luckily my car didn't overturn and I crashed back down the divider. Stopped at the nearby Mobil station to check my car.... Turns out my front tyre ring got all crooked and the thing that flew off when I hit the divider was my tyre rim...
Lolz... couldn't find it the next day when I went to work though... wonder where it flew. I'm wondering if it flew and hit a motorist on the head what would happen? o.O Sigh... I'm so tired... I don't like driving such a long way to work or to town evryday... I really wanna move nearer to town.
Went shopping last week, gone all out on craft stuff at the Living Cabin and Anime.
Bought a few sets of felt DIY kits.... at RM4.90 to RM5.90 each.... gonna be bz making felt food for the next few weekends.
Went anime shopping.... got original releases of Mushishi and Nana... and another 'not original' copy of some shoujo anime.... Also realized that it's more worth it to buy original here in Ipoh!!!!
Anyway, I'm delighted with my purchases so I'd thought I'd record it in my blog that's all...lolz :P
Just put in an encryption feature in my blog to encrypt my most private thoughts.... these entries are just for the eyes of my few trusted frens and myself. It's so that ppl don ask me too many personal questions. If I don't trust u I won't ever tell u. If I do trust u, I'll tell u without u asking me. Nothing personal, hope nobody's offended...lolz.... I just don't want strayyyngers knowing too much about my thoughts.
Speaking of encryption and decryption.... this reminds me of Computer Security class where we had to decrypt some kinda code for our assignment. Quite interesting class where we learnt about ciphers and computer security..... also some hacking stuff....fun!!! wheee..... hope I don't sound like a nerdy geek o.O
Recently I've met a few ppl who fit this category.... 幸灾乐祸. I just wanna say I despise ppl who are like that. Ppl who laugh at the misfortune of others. Ppl who gleefully bring the news of misfortune to others. Ppl who don't feel sympathy or try to help. Ppl who like to spread news of misfortune befalling someone to all the other ppl they know.
It makes me think they are like those little children who watch Saturday morning cartoons and laugh so happily when the cartoon characters get beat up. To me, these kinda ppl are as ignorant and childish as little children. They are also selfish ppl who only care about their own feelings but not the feelings of others.
Note to self: Always extend a helping hand to ppl that need your help.
Garrrr...... I'm so annoyed. After one day of training, I found out many issues happened ytd at work..... It must've been a hectic day for all the techs that worked on the machines ytd.... >.< san fu sai......
However, today the thing that really irked me was about ...............Nya-mah-wheee one damn shift process tech who basically doesn't know anything about the workings of my machines...... and I don't actually see wat his job function is except to chit chat with the supervisor and line leader... and point blame at other ppl.....
The particular conversation that he said was:
Lemme tell you something, give you some advice from an old man. This........ is not ur place. U should not handle this process. Take some advice from this old man. Girls like you should be in departments like HR, Admin, or Customer Service. You are not suitable for this job. People that are polite and cute like u should not work here. (adds this in quickly because he sees me glaring at him) You will not be able to take the stress here.
WTF?!?!?!? U damn... male chauvinist pig... how dare you look down on me!!! I am technically ur boss.... u do things for me!!! Have u never seen a female engineer before? Why should girls go do jobs such as HR, admin or customer service? Then why don't u go back to ur kampung to rear pigs? I am so much more qualified than u......u minion =.="" And who are you to say whether or not this is my place, or that I cannot take the stress here?? Do u know me? Are you a qualified consultant? No.... ur just a lowlife minion male chauvinist pig......:@) Oink.... go back to ur mud.
Today I attended a training course for LEAN manufacturing at Meru Valley Golf & Country Club...... I got to play with legos... haha... It's been a long time since I played legos.... makes me feel like going to the shopping centre to buy a set of them.
The scenery at the golf club was quite beautiful and peaceful.... nice big and beautiful houses around the hillside..... nice weather too... cloudy but didn't rain at all. Training included breakfast, lunch and tea.... loved the sandwiches though lunch was slow to be served.
Just an entry to record this relaxing day down cos tomoro will be another day at hectic work.
Everytime I read a manga, watch an anime, I feel like staying in Japan. Feeling it's life, it's culture. JL is applying to study at KAIT for her masters. I feel so much like going there too. I remember taking Japanese language lessons in KL during my sec. school years. I even took Japanese language for my co-curricular subject in Uni.
But when I really think about it, there are so many things preventing me from going :( The masters course + intensive language course will take 3 yrs to complete. When I come back I'll be 27 or 28.... and still have to fight for a job with those young and eager fresh grads. And what then? I'll still be a corporate slave for the rest of my life.
I'll also have to use more of FAMA foundation funds, which I owe a lot to them already. I can just imagine what D would say if I said I quit my job again......... being jobless isn't easy u know. Also, C is going to pursue her tertiary education at the same time too, and I don't think it'll be locally or cheap either.
Isn't everybody entitled to let out their anger once in awhile? Isn't it alright to feel sad, feel grumpy, feel tired once in awhile? How many times have u had to look cheerful and happy, when inside u don't feel that way at all? How many times have u had to smile, when u didn't feel like smiling? How many times have u had to engage in polite conversation, when u didn't feel like talking? How many times were u made to do sumthing, or go sumwhere, without anybody asking for ur consent, and just assumed that u would do it?
I hate myself for always having to laugh off snide comments for the sake of being 'sporting' when inside I just feel like telling ppl off for these remarks.......... I hate being ms. goody 2 shoes, when inside i'm ms. spitfire..... I hate being manipulated to do sumthing, without asking for my consent..... Sometimes I just like to crawl back in my shell and be ms. antisocial...... not having to care about my appearance or wat I say.....
Lately, I just feel very tired...... tired because I have to always be on my toes and put on my best performance at work...... I come home late, because there is nothing to come home to. I miss Ah Man......... But this is life, life goes on. I have to make my own living, and not depend on D anymore, I have to be a corporate slave until I'm old and gray.
I wonder........ who are the random ppl who read my blog each day? who was the person who read thru my archives on the 23rd? who were the ppl who googled my blog or stumbled here by googling sumth nonsensical? who are the 84% ppl from Asia, 17% undefined location and 1% Ozeania. (Where is Ozeania??) who is the 1.7% of ppl who are still using winNT6.0 while the rest are all using Win XP?
who are the 3 regular readers who diligently check out my blog at least once a day? One using tm.net. One from nus.edu.sg One from nsc.com.... (haha i noe who u r)
If my family surfs this blog?.......>.< omg i hope not...... becos my dad just asked me if I would like a camera =_=""
Having a blog..... is quite complex. Sometimes u can write watever u wanna write, but u will never know who will stumble upon what u have written. Sometimes when u wanna pour all ur feelings out, u think twice about what would happen if sumwan unexpected chanced upon ur blog. It's common knowledge not to blog about work, as there have been many cases of bloggers getting fired by their workplace. Sigh...... there is no freedom of speech after all. I envy those who can blog with no care in the world, say all they wanna say, in watever type of language they choose...lol
Would you pay attention if I said the word 'Free', 'Percuma' , '免费' ???
Do you get hungry ???
Do you like rice???
Rice!!! The Asian staple......some ppl can't even stay overseas without eating at least a bowl of it every day =.=""
Stumbled across a website pledging to donate Free Rice to help end world hunger! OK, so there isn't gonna be any free rice for u privileged folk out there (who have internet access and who are reading my blog right now). But ur supporting a cause to bring free rice to poverty stricken people all around the world.......
Freerice.com is a non-profit site that has 2 goals:
Provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
There's a vocab game at the left, so for each word u get right, they'll donate 10 grains of rice through the United Nations (UN) to help end world hunger.... o.O So for all u vocab or word game freaks out there, here's a way u can help save the world i guess...
After playing for a few minutes, I 'donated' 1120 grains of rice, with a vocab level of 34. Took a screenshot of the bowl of rice part, cos it made me feel hungry. See that mound of rice on the left, thats 1000 grains of rice there... lol... I wonder how many bowls of rice that equals to.
Anywayz.... try it out and see how high a vocab level u can get...cos according to the site, there are 50 levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above level 48. o.O Some words are really perplexing.
Even if ur not so hot for word games and stuff, just try to click the words and see how many grains of rice u can donate. Cos after u play it, u can bask in the glow that somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. o.O
It's my bday month this month.... and I stumbled across a cute picture of a bday celebration at The Bitter Stickgirl
Totally love her site.... it's a blog without words, expressed with a simple stick figure drawing. Yet at they say, a picture says a 1000 words..... It's sweet and simple, yet when u think about it, it's complex and twisted at the same time.... Cool!
Happy Bday to all Nov babies out there and Sagitariuses too!!!
One more..... a song I like.... from Fergie of Black Eyed Peas
Da Da Da Da The smell of your skin lingers on me now You're probably on your flight back to your home town I need some shelter of my own protection baby To be with myself and center, clarity Peace,Serenity

The path that I'm walking I must go alone I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they? And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
[CHORUS:] I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry
Like the little school mate in the school yard We'll play jacks and uno cards I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine Valentine Yes you can hold my hand if you want to 'Cause I want to hold yours too We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds But it's time for me to go home It's getting late, dark outside I need to be with myself and center, clarity Peace,Serenity
[CHORUS] I hope you know, I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal, myself and I We've got some straightenin' out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've got to get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry Don't cry Don't cry Don't cry
