Categories: Entertaintment and weird shit

Well, its the time of the year to make a Christmas Wishlist. I know, its only end of November, but I am an early bird :P
——————-
Dear Santa,

I have been a good boy for whole year, and I only have one item in my wishlist this year (I know I had 100 wishlist items last time but I have learned my lessons!). For whole year, I had been good, like the other day an old lady was crossing the street, I didn’t push her, so see? I had been a good boy! So please, Santa, please grant my wish.

Okay, Santa, here goes my wishlist…

I would like to be the sole beneficiary of all the assets (fixed, passive, or whatsoever assets, but no debt please!) of Bill Gates. And then please make him die tomorrow.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Adrian
——————-

Hopefully my wish will come true…

::: gloomy old man :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: General and weird shit

Today while waiting for the elevator to work (16th floor), I notice a very gloomy old man stanading behind me. He seemed like he was deep in thoughts and disturbed by the fact that I was standing in front of him. Well, without giving it a thought, I just kept standing there, without giving a heck as of what he was trying to do.

The elevator came, the door opened, and both of us walked in. Well, he just brushed me aside with his shoulder and rushed into the metalbox. I was thinking, “what the fuck is all these about?”

The door was closing slowly, but the gloomy old man was pressing “Close” button repeatedly. And then I heard some high-heels tapping on the floor in rapid session; some girl is running towards us and trying to usher us to hold the door for her. The uncle looked at her, and kept pressing the “Close” button, while still looking at her. I wasn’t paying attention, but I did notice that it was that ugly fat old dinasour on the 13th floor.

Anyway, by the time I heard the noise and saw the figure, and after a brief moment of hesitation (don’t ask me), it was too late for me to take a move to open the door for her. So I kept looking at the gloomy uncle and very interested to find out why he was so gloomy.

I was about to open up a conversation when I noticed that he got tears rolling out from his eyes. I managed to swallow the words and kept staring at the floor indicator.

I wonder what’s in his mind and what he went through.

Wow, this is certainly something more interesting. The Start has just published that the Police Force is now more interested to find out who capture the action using camera phone as mentioned in the “3 am news” as published below.

Well, I do understand the concern of those video footage leakage, and it is important to find out who is the one capture the whole thing and such. But then, why distract us with all these? We are more interested in finding out why such action were taken on the lady in the ear-squat drama. Are there any action against the female officer who abused her authorities, and what are the measure taken by the government to ensure the safety of the public?

There were saying that they wanted to find out who leaked out this kind of video footage because it should be of high confidential and privacy. But the problem is if it is so secretive, confidential, and private, why do the ear-squat stunt in a locker room? Doesn’t make sense right?

No worries, after a week, there will be different news, and people will seem to forget about it. Or at least the authorities hope that we will forget about it…

If you are so fucked up and see this post as a hate-blog, its your own fucking problem, not mine. Furthermore, parental discretion advised because this post contains sexual contend and fucking language. Oh well, fuck it. Just read it if you want. I don’t fuck care.

Jeez, our local news is getting better nowadays. I admit that I used to be slacker in reading news because I found it boring, stupid and… er… among all, not important. But nowadays I am reading more news, and sometimes read more than one newspaper because the news are getting juicier, more interesting, and filled with suspense.

Let me see, currently the hottest topic of all is a female police officer ordered a Chinese female detainee to strip naked and do ear squats at the police station locker room. From the movie clip (taken by a camera phone), it was shown that the lady officer shouted her command at the Chinese female detainee, and ordered her to do ear squats (the Chinese female detainee is already naked from the waist up). After doing ear squats for 10 times, the Chinese female detainee turned to a side, and started wearing her bra. She bend down few times and it appeared as she was wearing her underwear and pants/skirts. So we can let our imagination run wild that she was completely naked.

So naturally, news like this is worth to be on the front page.

Of course, a lot of people are trying to avoid this kind of attack because its a great shame to our nation, so they defended that the video clip was forged after 3 Chinese nation female filed a report that they had been humiliated at a police station (more about that later. Its another interesting news). According to them, the place seems like a locker. So they raised questions like, how can there be locker in the custody room? And then, custody room should be windowless and such.

Okay, le’s use our logical thinking to analyze this. Well, we don’t even have to use our fucking brain to think that it wasn’t a fucking custody room at all? Can’t it actually happened in the fucking locker room? Who said it happened in the custody room? Fuck! First thing they jumped into and claimed that it wasn’t a fucking custody room. Please, do not insult our intelligence. You can be intellectually challenged, but don’t think of us as low as you. Consult someone before you say something because you are only insulting yourself in front of the whole nation.

Oh! By the way, it was proven that it was a police locker room located in PJ Police Station.

And then, on November 14, the Stars reported that there were 3 Chinese nation female who claimed that they had been humiliated by the police while under custody (this is a great news by it own means). According the the original report filed on November 13, and I quote the Star “The three women had on Nov 13 lodged police reports over having their money stolen, being asked to strip and being peeped at while bathing when under police custody.” Now, the original news is a juicy news by it own means, but this is only getting better. Fuck! Don’t we all live in a great country when things are only getting better? This is a great deal man! Ok, back to it, these 3 Chinese nation female is now complaining that after filling the report, they are now being harrassed at their home by policemen.

If you think that’s all, well, you are definitely wrong. Recently it was reported on The Star that student, Foo Sze Kuan, 18, was stopped at a police roadblock for driving a car with an expired road tax and without a “P” plate on June 13 2004. Facing five policemen, she claimed she felt intimidated and paid up when asked for a bribe. The next day, upon her parents’ advice, Foo lodged a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA). The ACA subsequently took up a case against one of the policemen. On Oct 11 this year, the court acquitted him on technical grounds.

Now this is the best part of the story… the policeman who was being charged now is sueing Foo Sze Kuan for defamation and all that bull crap. Okay, first of all, it seems like a lot of the stupid cases were dropped on “technical grounds” and then, the policeman took up the legal action to sue Foo even before the bribery case was closed. Even after being consulted by higher rank officers, he refused to back out and withdraw the law suit against Foo, claiming that he must find justice and all the crap.

So this is so fucking great. We file a report, and then we kena (being) counter-sue by those fucking idiots for deflamation. This is just so fucking great. Let’s see who will be stupid enough to file report with ANTI-CORRUPTION Agency.

Hmm… is it me or what? I found that all the victims in news (as mentioned above) are all Chinese…

::: office rampage :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: work

Two days ago (November 23, 2005), a male colleage went on rage and start shooting around, just like the Shopping Mall Rampage in Tacoma, Washington. Some of my colleagues ran for cover in the room, and some fled the scene as soon as possible. I heard this admin screaming on top of her lung, yelling, “Run! Run for your life!” Me? I ran downstairs to smoke and took my breakfast. Luckily that crazy fella wasn’t using real bullet, but using his word. See, he got this tendency to talk really loud and he got a Anger Management problem. The incident started when he was trying to submit some kind of form into the customer’s website using the available form, but he couldn’t do it for whatsoever reasons. It has happened many times already since he has to submit those things every month. So getting frustrated, he called the Customer Service line and shouted at the other party for more than half and hour, trying to get the things posted onto the website. I think the other party wasn’t able to help him, so he got more and more frustrated, and he just yelled at her and then started to bang the table. All of us were afraid that he will go crazy and went to the pantry to grab a knife and start stabbing everyone in his path. In order to save our own ass, we fled the scene as soon as possible. Even the managers were hiding inside their rooms just to be save.

Furthermore, we can basically identify his mood on particular day. See, when he’s wearing his favourite yellow shirt and his favourite light green slacks, that means he’s on a bad day and he can go rampage at any time. He can even go berserk if you complement him. Unfortunately and true enough, on that particular day, he was wearing his yellow shirt and light green slack.

I heard that he has attended some kind of Anger Management Therapy and he was subscribed to some kind of medication, and I had to wonder what happened to those sessions he attended. Maybe the therapist went berserk with him also since cannot take his kind of punishing.

Today he’s wearing the yellow shirt and light green slack again (it seems like he got a lot of those, or he’s wearing it at least 3 times a week), so I better get out of the office as soon as possible.

I value my life a lot because I am not married yet, and there are still many things that I want to do.

::: Monday Blues :::

Categories: work

During the weekend, I had food poisoning. On Saturday evening while on the way back to Seremban, I fished the bottle of water behind my seat and drank all of it because I was really thirsty. And then after dinner, my stomach was like having the War of the World, so I just set off to the washroom….

By the time I came out, I was already really pale, but I had an appointment with a friend of mine, so I just went out with my girlfriend. After a short discussion with my friend, we decided to leave because I wanted to come back to KL as soon as possible. When I was about to start my car, I felt this urgent urge to puke, and I did… it was a really messy scene.

After I reached home in KL, I was so weak and I felt so damn cold. I slept right away. Luckily I felt much better on Sunday but my stomach was still feeling a bit funny. So I had a long rest during Sunday.

Today, when I came to office, I felt gloomy and just didn’t have the motivation to work. A lot of my colleagues were off to outstation, so it was really quiet. But that’s not the reason for me to feel this way. I am an outdoor person, so I don’t like to stay in the office. But today there is not much customer to visit because there are a lot that is not the right time to visit yet since many things are not done (by my other colleagues), and then I have already visited some important customers last week so …. Oh well, I just feel damn bored and demotivated.

The worse thing is that it started to rain (I think it stopped a while ago), and it is really cloudy. It feels like early in the morning instead of afternoon (its 2:30pm now).

Arrggghhh!!! I need some motivation!

(Goes off to make some coffee…)

::: four weddings and a funeral :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: Complaints and Family

I am from a very huge and unique family (clarification: not my immediate family, but relatives). It is more unique than the family you saw in the movie, Four Weddings and a Funeral. During all these years, I have attended few wedding dinners and two funerals (excluding my father’s funeral), and all of those occasion were a scene to behold of and for outsider, it will be an eye opener and they will remember the experience for the rest of their lives.

Let me put it this way…

During the wedding, my so-called relatives (do I need to make it more clear that I am trying to draw a clear line between them and my family?) will sit like gentlemen for the first 10 minutes. When the dinner started, they will start drinking, and then they will roam around the area, making friends with new people, looking for someone to yum-sing (translation: bottom-up). This will go on for about 20 to 30 minutes, and they will drink a lot during this short period of time. The problem is, they are lousy drinker. So by the time the 2nd (or 3rd) dish came out, they were already three-quarter there. After that, they will start yelling, laughing out loud, and if there’s a karaoke system, they will start going up there to talk about life, marriage, sex, and more sex. It’ll be a lucky day if they don’t sing after all the talking, but normally I wasn’t so lucky.

And then, after that, it will only get worse. Some of them will take off their clothes and do monkey/donkey dance on the table (sometimes cowboy dance. Don’t ask me), and because of their weight, the table will collapse or tip-over, and everyone will start running for their life. When the dessert came out, all of them were too drunk to move and normally they will piss themselves in the pants. So the wives will have to carry them out, dump them into the car and drive off.

As for the funeral, refer to the post dated November 16, 2005 (as below).

So this kinda give me the phobia of having my very own wedding dinner. I don’t want those wedding crasher to attend my very special occasion and spoil the memory for the rest of my life, unless I am making The American Funniest Home Video. What I am planning is maybe some buffet style, very close family and friends kind of dinner, and NO karaoke system. And then, as for my funeral, unless they live longer than me, otherwise I won’t want to invite them as well.

::: funeral :::

By Adrian 0 Comments
Categories: Complaints and Family

Today when I was reading Michael Ooi’s blog about funeral, it brought back some memories of mine during my father’s funeral. What he said is true; Chinese culture of funeral is burning a lot of paper stuff as a form of remorse, and those attended the funeral is to show up and say that they regretted for not being there when the deceased needed them the most.

I still remember the day when my father passed away, I was still in US studying. When my mom broke the news to me in the middle of the night, I was sleeping (and that’s why after that, I dreaded receiving calls in the middle of the night) after working long hours and studying for the midterm. By the time I came back, my father was already in the coffin. Tears sprang out subconsciously because I did feel regret for many things that I had done.

When I was young, I used to be a brat, and I didn’t know how to appreciate the things that my father did for me. I didn’t understand him. By the time I was older, I began to understand him. Unfortunately, I had to spend my time away from home to study in Subang Jaya. After that, I spent few years in US and he had a heart attack during my stay in the States.

During the funeral, there were many relatives that came to the funeral, but they were so indulge in gambling and eating that they did not pay any respect to my father. Even when I was asking them to move away from that area because we needed to load the coffin up to the truck, they were asking me to wait because they haven’t finished their game yet! Its just totally fucking unbelievable! Those so-called relatives are nothing but a bunch of ass and they did the same to every funeral they had gone to. I mean, oh come on! Show some respect because you guys owed my dad so much!

After the funeral, I never keep in contact with those buggers.

And I miss him… a lot …

::: another shot at the IT department :::

What? Another shot at the IT department? You must be very tired of all my ranting at the IT department and you must figured that I have something against those computer proficient guys…

Well, the problem is that our network is down again, and when we called the IT guys to fix it, they were telling me that they can only come on Wednesday (Nov 9, 2005). Because the Lotus Notes and other things required the VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocol to run, we were basically stranded with no network to use, and our colleagues in Kluang was calling us bad names for not replying the emails, update the Sales Order Management, the Sales Price List, and Customer Complaints. Worst of all, the M.D. was pushing us to submit our Monthly Sales Report to her, but we needed the network to obtain the data for the report!

I was so frustrated that I just went out to meet with customers. I guess our IT people don’t understand the meaning of efficiency.
