The real Christmas wish list I have is as follow:
1. I wish that my girlfriend will be happy.
2. I wish that I will start a new life very soon.
Don’t ask me to explain… The answer will come to you sooner or later…

::: the vcd :::
I remember that few years back when I first came back from the states, I hung out with a close friend of mine, Khien. There was this vcd incident that was always on my mind. Today when I was checking, Khien, who is still in the states (went back to the states after I came back), left some comments and that reminded me again of what happened…
It was a normal night as any other night, and we went out for dinner at Taman Megah area. After we took our dinner, we noticed a lot of VCD vendors around that area (they are no longer there. It was years back). Khien told me that he actually bought quite a number of VCD there because its near to his place and he always took his dinner around there.
While browsing for the titles that we wanted to watch that night, a girl standing next to me asked the VCD vendor, “Hey boss, is this the original VCD?”
I looked at her, and Khien was busy shuffling through the VCDs and pretended that he didn’t notice. The VCD vendor? Well, he just looked at her like his eyes were going to pop out, and his jaws seems like had lost all the function to close the mouth.
It was a good 10 seconds that no one said a thing. Then the girl asked again, “Boss, I am asking you if this is an original VCD!”
I bursted into laughter, and Khien was giggling non-stop. The boss replied, “Hmmm… miss? We are pirated VCD vendor, we don’t sell original…”
Upon hearing that, I laughed louder and louder. Khien couldn’t supress his laugh, so he was bursting into laughter as well.
That girl looked at me, offended, and said, “Hey! Don’t have to be like that right? I meant to ask him if it was a clear version*” and with that, she walked away, after paying for the “original” VCD…
*NOTE: In Malaysia, a lot of those movies were recorded in the cinema. Most of the time, you’ll see that human shadow passing through the screen thanks to those fashionably late people, and then sometimes you will hear people coughing. The best was that one time I bought this cinema version VCD, the person who was recoding the show farted 3 times…

::: the lrt :::
Today is a public holiday in Selangor state because today is Sultan of Selangor’s birthday (thanks dude, if not it would be a boring Monday…). After waking up early in the morning to send my girlfriend to LRT station at Kelana Jaya because her office is in Kuala Lumpur, so she didn’t have the luxury of the public holiday that I enjoyed! *mwahahahaha*
Anyway, during the afternoon, I went to KLCC to meet with her for lunch. After checking the traffic status, I thought better of driving down, so I took the LRT as well. During lunch, we spent some time walking a bit, and I was so casually dressed that people are looking at us because she was wearing her work jacket!
After some walking, I took the LRT back and it started to rain. For some reasons, a lot of people were taking LRT also, and I figured that they have also realized that the traffic was really bad in KL city (it was very bad indeed. I looked out from KLCC and saw traffic jam everywhere)… Once it reached Pasar Seni, the LRT was filled with people and it was jam-packed!
It started to rain heavily, and for some reasons, there was a leakage on the roof. At first no one notice it because it wasn’t really dripping. But then, when the LRT stopped at the various stations, because of the momentum of the train, the water just splashed down. Unfortunately, there was this Indian dude standing directly under the leak. And I do mean directly.
The water splashed on his head, right on the spot. Luckily it wasn’t a big splash, but it was big enough for everyone surrounding to notice it. And it so happened that the LRT was so packed, there’s no room for him to maneuver. So he was stranded there, and he acted like nothing happened. Unfortunately, once the water splashed on his head, and after a few seconds, the water started dripping all over his face….
It was a scene to behold with, and the people surrounding him was trying extremely hard to supress their laughs. Then these young girls, standing directly in front of me, was giggling at first, and then bursted into hysteric laughing. Influenced by them, a lot of people were laughing also.
Too bad I didn’t have an umbrella with me. If not, I would have given him the umbrella so that he can use the umbrella inside the LRT…
Today I have too much in my mind… Basically I have no idea what the fuck I am doing…
The sign of having too much in my mind? Well, first, I almost met with an accident, and then I lost my way nearby my office!
When I went out just now, I stopped in front of a round-about. And then, when I saw that the incoming car was still very far out (at least for my definition), I stepped on the gas pedal and when I looked to the front, there was a motorbike in front of me! Well, not directly direct, but luckily I stopped in the nick of time, but I was still too close. Thank god that guy was smart enough and his reflexes were damn good; he pulled his leg up all the way. If not, I would have gotted a big chunk of his leg…
And then, after visiting some costumers, I came back to the office. Again, at a round-about, I turned and turned, and before I knew it, I was circlying the same fucking round-about twice! Finally, I woke up from my dream, took the right turn, and went back to the office. But then, before I reached my office, I took a wrong turn and I was at the wrong place again!
Damn it, I feel like my brain is going to explode soon…

::: o/l bitch :::
This morning when I was walking towards the elevator when I was at the reception hall at my office, I saw the door closing so I just rushed there. A guy was kind enough to press the “Open” button so that I could go in.
After I went in, only then I notice there was a lady standing on the other side of the elevator. I was really puzzle because she was looking very hostile towards the guy who opened the door for me, and she was looking at me angrily. The first thing I noticed about her was her look. She is UGLY. That’s the best description I can give.
She has those very dry and curvey hair (imagine maggie mee [translation: instant noodle] and blow that picture up by 10 times, and you will get the detail picture). She has really small eyes, flat nose, big mouth, and out-of-porpotion figure… She was wearing a simple T-shirt and a white jeans, while trying to act like OL. I am out of words to describe her.
After I went in, there were a few more ladies followed, and this ugly OL kept pressing the “Close” button and it almost squeezed the ladies to death! Luckily those ladies prevail and managed to get into the elevator. But the ulgy OL certainly got agitated because even after the elevator door was closed, she kept glaring at me and the kind guy who opened the door for me.
The elevator stopped, and the kind guy went out. Before he even step out of the elevator, the ugly bitch was continuously pressing the “Close” button so hard. Then the elevator stopped a few more times so the ladies went out to different floor, and she did the same to all of them.
That left both of us alone in the elevator. I was so scared that she would strip naked and started to rape me. Luckily she didn’t, but unluckily, she did something else that made me wanted to puke the stuff I had taken last night: she kept looking at the mirror (don’t ask me why those designers put mirrors in a fucking elevator!) and press and comb her hair using her hands! She didn’t do it once, or twice, but three fucking times!
I look at the indication panel, and saw that she was going to the 15th floor. Well, fuck me! My office is on the 16th floor! So I walked to the panel, and she the door opened, I kept pressing on the “Close” button trying to get the door to squeeze her to death. Again, she glared at me and I just pretended that I didn’t see her, and used my middle finger to push up my glasses!
God, I feel so happy to get back to those fuckers.
Lately, the crazy person who went berserk (see post office rampage) has been behaving himself. After much observation, I can conclude that he has gone berserk for two reasons. Now it is my turn to go berserk with my brain power…
First of all, he is 40 years old, and he’s lonely. He has been single for many years, and he’s still staying with his mom. So basically social life is next to non-existance, and he don’t go vacation (saves all the money for some reasons).
The second reason is that he likes the admin lady *gasp!* but the admin lady doesn’t like him. So most of the time he’s trying to gain attention from everyone, including me, and especially the admin lady, because he feels so lonely and no one really dare to talk to him. He’s acting crazy because he wants attention, but we don’t give him attention because he’s acting crazy. So this is the very basic formula for chicken-and-egg question.
Anyway, after I have done my analysis, I told the admin lady not to behave as if he is a disease. I told her to treat him with professional manners, and be courteous. Furthermore, when he’s acting a bit crazy, just ignore the action and do not make nasty comments to further agitate him. She has been doing what I had told her, and things are getting much better nowadays. So far this guy has been acting pretty normal and friendly, not like last time, friendly but crazy. It’s still too early to make a judgement, but let’s hope that he will be OK soon.
Unfortunately, sometimes things do happen for a reason. No one is at fault all by himself (or herself). Basically, if the admin lady has been doing things different, or rather, look at things differently, things will be much better. The problem is that she’s taking all the things that he does too personally, so when that guy gone crazy, or when he’s normal and be friendly, she’s thinking otherwise, and sometimes she’ll blurt out some not-so-friendly comment. Of course, trying to get her attention, the crazy guy will go crazier just to get more attention. So we cannot blame him for the things that he has done, but we also cannot blame the admin lady about the craziness she caused on this crazy guy.
There’s no need to be hostile or whatever. We should not create a formula for disaster. Make love, not war!
