petai

I've just recovered from the toilet trip 3mins ago. Someone in one of the toilet cubicle must have eaten tons of "petai" over the weekend. The pungent smell polluted the whole toilet while she is doing her biz. The most embarassing was when the toilet cleaner shouted "Who has eaten buah petai....aiyoo!!!" And there was only 1 cubicle occuppied. Hahahaha...If i were the one in that cubicle, i will hide myself and make sure everybody leaves the toilet to save myself from such embarassment.

Honestly, I really hate it when people take petai especially when the smell lingers when you're talking to the person. And the worst is the smell after that person's toilet visit.

cost saving

Since there is cost saving everywhere, hubby & i decided to perform some cost saving activities at home. One of them is to ride to work, instead of drive. No doubt, there are few advantages & drawbacks to ride a bike to work.

Good things:
- it takes only 25mins to get to work daily
- save money on toll (RM1.12 compared to RM5.60, daily)
- save money on petrol (RM23 compared to RM70, weekly)
- i'm forced to use sun block everyday, so that my freckles condition will not deteriorate
- i'm forced to wash my face diligently everyday, so that my facial prod will not go to waste
- we can't talk, so less quarrel
- we have to be close to each other physically, so that when he decides to go full speed, i will not end up on the windscreen of the car behind us.

Bad things:
- i have to wash my hair every single day
- i have to prepare plastic bag in case it rains suddenly
- i can't wear my heels to work
- i have to wear perfume everyday to cover the smell of smoke
- i can't wear skirt - but i never wear skirt to work :P
- there is a chance that we will melt under the scorching sun

sigh

It's a rather tiring and pathetic day for me today. First, we had to endured the haze in the morning while riding to work. Then, it's the time of the month where all girls despise. The icing of the day, i received a rather nasty mail from a counterpart, like usual. Of how this person did something since last evening and had to tell me ALL the hard work tht has been done. Afterall, i was the one who discovered the problem and logged a call. And again i was left out from the circle of mail. Although i have well trained myself to accept nasty mails from this particular person, but i just hate this person all over again.

revenge of the fallen

I was attracted to this phrase "Revenge of the Fallen". It truly describes what i'm going thru now at work, but i'm not the bad ones. Just that i feel that i need to claim my territory & draw fine lines surrounding it, just in case. Actually, it's rather fun to work around people who fear to be kicked away from this company, especially when they finally have to think twice before stepping on your tail in situation like this. The retrenchment activities that are going on do not affect me at all. I will go when they give me the angpow. Unlike some other people whom i work with, who thinks himself/herself is The Great One. You can be the most important person in a function, but so what? You're not indispensable, esp when you're highly paid. If a fly is paid half your salary and flexible to do multiple jobs at one time, who would the company keep? Do you just hate people who love to claim credit for A-Z work? Or those who need to tell the whole world that he/she has lack of sleeps for god knows who many days just to get something done? Or people whom delete your name from your own mail?
