Of kareoke, sing along, some butt kicking and an old maid...

There was a kareoke singing contest downstairs (inter-department).. After crooning to a few tunes I went up to my own office to have some peace and quiet. My singing partner was an indian girl who sang like a bullet train giving speed singing a whole new meaning. The song was "Sandarkan pada kenangan" - Jamal Abdillah & Siti Sarah. It's been ages since I sang, used to be singing with the university band (like those kenduri kawin ones) in my studying days. Not yet AF material... though. Nope, I was not contesting.. merely like a guest artiste.. singing for the opening act, just to make the contestants feel at ease.

Been like 2 weeks since I had time to write anything in this blog. Time sure flies when u have tons of work.

Btw, I got a standing ovation over my debut drama. After some make-up and a wig, even I couldn't recognize myself. It was a lot of hard work.. but it was all worth it when my big boss came to me and congratulated me himself for the exceptional performance.

A few days after that, I got news that he had resigned. Also another collegue of mine had his contract terminated. Apparently, one of the board members for the company I work for, does not like him that much. It's a sad thing to see friend leaving the company since we are like a very tight knit community. I'm very sensitive about matters like this and cannot resist the melancolic feeling. One of the chief executive make a rude remark that I might be next. Well.. you little twat, we'll just see whose butt gonna be kicked next. Hehehehe.

Last weekend, the whole server cluster went down. Both Linux and Windows. I suspect it's either a virus or a DDOS attack. Wasted a whole weekend trying to fix the problem. I think I've made some sort of new record. I've rebuilt a whole new cluster of Windows 'o2/'03 and Redhat Linux in just under 3 hours (.. from scratch!!!).

Then I got an additional holiday on monday, so I drove to KL and went on a shopping spree. Having spent nearly RM 4000 on CD-Writers, Pen Drive, External HDD Casing, 120GB HDD, Wacom Pad, Digital Camcoder, etc... etc. It felt good spending but I need to put a stop to this habit coz it's not good for my wallet.

Being a bachelor is no fun either, especially when you are living alone. The house is too big on my own and I need a maid to do all the cleaning. I've tried to get a maid for myself but I live too far and no makciks wants to do it. Manmaid is out of the question, as if there is such a service in good o'le Malaysia. For now, I'll just have to clean everything by myself. Now.. where is that broomstick of mine.*chuckle*

Life in Show Business and Pink Eye !

Been really busy with work that I rarely have time to write here. To tell you the truth, I've just landed myself a small part in a local "broadway" style drama. Those historic themed B-rated stuff.. "Sumpah Orang Minyak".  Part stuntman.. part actor.. (i have only 2 lines.. hik! but a whole lot of fighting scene). Been rehearsing for it for the past 2 weeks.. opening end of this week. Wish me luck.
 
The BITCH had stopped pestering me since I relieved her of her duties. I would rather work my ass off than having a cunt assistant who thinks she is boss. She can go and wipe her fuckin pussy somewhere else.
 
Other than that, I've been keeping myself busy with "Queer as Folks" TV series. I'm an avid collector of the series which is very hard to find in Malaysia. Finally, I have the whole season 1 until 4 of the US version. Now I'm collecting the UK version. So everyday after work, I just lay and watch it. Seeing gays and lesbians lamenting their life and lust.
 
Last week was terrible. I got my left eye all swollen up. The doctor said it was a minor eye infection... a case of the "pink eye". But ever since I got beaten up (bashed) in a fight a few years back, my left eye would give me trouble once a while. Hurts like hell... nevertheless, it's residing so I can see better and I looked better too.. mind the puffyness.
 
I also got myself an original Wolfhampton Wanderers jersey bought from UK. It cost a bundle (try.. 40 pounds times 7 = MYR 280). But it's worth every cent. I'm not a footie fan, but since I saw a chub wearing it, it looks good on him.. so go figure! Yeah.. I'm one of those guys who's a sucker for a chub with good fashion statement. What looks good on him.. must look good on me too. (what a lame excuse.. hehehe).
 
Talking about fashion, I also wore a new tie to work today. Plain silver looks good on a black shirt. I look like Brian Kenny from "QAF". Suave ! And for casual outfit, I bought a really white sandals which can be seen a mile away. Talking about making a fashion statement. Don't know why I've been conscious about what I wear lately. Being a slob all my life, maybe it's time to change and feel good about what I wear. Now.. what I need is a pair of those cool Black Levis or Ice Blue Lee Cooper jeans in my wardrobe. Next paycheck perhaps.
 
A reader of this blog said that my postings are shows that I'm stressed out. Well, maybe because only when I'm stressed that I bent my frustration on writing. It's my kind of therapeutic way for relieving some of my anger. I promise to write more happy stuff here. My life has lots more happy times and I should make time to share it here.
 
So nuff said.. till next time

Bad Hair Day...


Since yesterday I slept the whole day. Feeling letargic. Still woke up late.. did some frantic morning laundry and off to work.

During breakfast my staff gave me the silent treatment. Oh hell.. i'm not in the mood for early morning chat either. Whether he knew it or not, I don't like him as well. Yesterday he did a complete fuck-up of the administration system. and I had to bail him out. Gawd! how I wish I had a competent technician. Why do I have to cover his butt everytime he fucked up. Why didn't the big boss see all this ? He was there beside me.

Also went for a photo session yesterday for the corporate magazine. I look good, especially with the small ribbon on my coat. Everybody commented.. it's cute.

Looked in the mirror and noticed that I didn't put on any hair cream. I looked horrible today. Anyway, I'm too depressed to do anything. I hope the guys that made an appointment to meet me didn't come. Left my cell phone at home, not intentionally but i think it's justified. Not in the mood to meet anybody right now. (UPDATE: my secretary just cancelled the appointment.. horreyyy!!)

My car's road tax & insurance needs to be renewed. Another RM 700 down the drain. Pay for the car loan RM 500. That's RM 1200 in all. Plus I got a summon for illegal parking RM 50.

Got a meeting this afternoon, see which malaysian state I have to cover this year. I hope it's the southern part or Kelantan. Hate the food.. loved the people.

I need something to cheer me up. Bored! Lonely! Tired!

Women are just bitches ! (Literally...)

My boss assigned me a new helper. Supposedly to help me with my chores and stuff. At first I liked her. She was nice and sweet. We could get along well together. WELL AT FIRST. Working with her was fun initially as she was up to par with me on certain levels. Unfortunately, she couldn't do hard labour & technical maintenance (and can't out-do my nitwit nincom poop technician). Well.. i can see that she can do Oracle DB.

After a while, she began to show her true colours. Becoming a real bitch. The only reason she had helped me because she wants to suck-up to the big boss. She's even got the boss to pay her extra due to her work.

Nowadays, any task I'd given her must get a seal of approval from the big boss. the BITCH. I've never been calculative with her. Well now since she has shown her true color.. I think I will show her mine too.

Now lets see who's hard-headed ! I've always kept myself on a professional level. But you got urself the wrong guy to be intimidated with girl. I thought I've made peace with my Anti-Women side.. but now I've declared WAR !!!
