Ah well.. another day down in the week. (Yes! I'm counting down the days till weekend pops up) It has been that way since the day I learn of the impending doom of my career path with the present company.
The feeling of emptiness and despair surprisingly still have a hold in my heart. It has been another busy period so far. Thus, there wasn't much brain storming done. I know that I have promised myself to find something interesting to share in here. But till now, nothing has come to mind.
This blog looks like it is dead for time being. Hopefully I can find a way to revive it. Nothing much like the satisfaction of people giving some comments. Of course, my parents have thought me from young to stay out of race, politics and religion if possible. Hence, I will overlook politics and race for time being.
Besides, I am just a minority. Nothing I say or rant would matter much to the politicians; what with all the mess that's going on at the moment. About 1 party blaming the other for corruption and of course there's the case of putting up a ban on certain areas for beer sales. I guess they have more than enough for time being to handle.Labels: It's all about work

It is kinda sad that most of my friends in this blog list have been removed. Their blogs are no longer valid or have moved. Oh well.. Anyways, this blog needs a new and constant topic to move on.
I am still trying hard to think of a good topic that is popular in the past and would still hold its charm of mystic and popular at present as well as in near future.
Might have a good idea popping up sooner or later. But at current, nothing interesting that fits into that category has come to mind as yet.
Work still pretty much the same and most the peeps affected by the globalisation process in the company is still in the negative side of things. Can't really blame them. They were too comfortable in the workplace and a majority had fallen in love with the company. Too much things were taken for granted. It was thought that things would last forever; in this case till the day of retirement. But then again, the world knows for a fact, nothing last forever, be it good or bad.
Somehow, now when I look back. The signs for a drastic change was everywhere. The obvious hints were hitting out loud in our faces. But then when things were going good. We refused to believe in the then rumors. Instead of taking heed of the things we were warned about, we choose to ignore and overlook. All that due to the fact that we keep believing in a steady straight line graph that good things will keep coming at an infinite level.
Ah.. reality does hit hard when it does choose to do so... Anyways, will continue to study the cumulative effects on my fellow colleagues. Not really an interesting topic to observe, but then again, it is during these trials that we can find some interesting individuals that would attempt to outshine the rest in hopes of getting retain by the company into other positions.
That would truly live up to the term "Survival of the fittest"Labels: Adverse effects of globalisation

Hi All,
It has been approximately more than 3 years since my last entry. I have to apologise for the lack of update since then. It was partially due to the fact that my existing job does not really give me the flexibility to relax and have my brains maxed out.
Anyways, from the look of things, I should be able to have more free time soon to blog. One of the thing that looks positive if that my service would soon be no longer require by the company. Part of the reason is due to globalisation.
Globalisation.. the word is BIG! It also got me thinking. Maybe in another couple of years, we would not only be working side by side with another fellow Malaysian. Think of it, the odds are good that your next door colleague would most probably be either an African, a Brazilian, a Nepalese or most probably an English or Austrian.
So, is globalisation bad? Nah.. not completely. Instead it is a good thing. Here I am losing my job bcoz of it and you peeps most probably be thinking "How can he still be so positive over it?" The fact is, it got me doing some good thinking.
With globalisation, the continent across the map is now link all over. In away, it does make the world seem readily smaller. Think of the possibilities of what that means. We might not be able to sell ice to eskimos, but we might be able to sell them the concept of mamak or heck, maybe even teh "o" ais limau.
Africans may even be able to sell us diamonds directly from the mines too. And there's the possibility that Australians may start shipping possums or kangaroo meat in bulk to us here. Best part of it, I am now able to order Victoria Secret lingerie for my wife. Oh yea, for those of you who know my wife, believe me, they DO have her size (not to mention that most the time, the designs and price do beat locally flat).
Anyways, I'm just getting carried away again.. Oh well.. This would be a start of a new chapter in my life. And the future entries in this blog would be as exciting as I can make it. Of coz, I will try to keep it @ PG13 if at all possible.
Till my next entry.. Sayonara!

Now for some (un)timely updates of my irresponsible MIA for last a year or so..
Ah yes!!! Finally left my previous company after what like 5 years? Now, I'm working with a foreign based local company. They have recently set up an office here in Malaysia and I've just gotten a post there.
Seems like a promotion as it is to what I previously did for a living. Been here for about 3 months now and been having great fun until recently.. (will be leaving that portion out for another time)
Hopefully, in near future, there would be more frequent updates.. =P
So I lied about the more updates.. just one. That's all..

Well.. It had indeed been a very long time since I last visited this place myself.. Almost but still havent forgotten about this very personal heaven.
Of late.. (given about a year or so since my last post).. I have been losing track of time and day. It's like to my darker side, time is no longer something that I can be bothered by. And as result the lost track of my post.
Hopefully in time to come, I would be able to afford the luxury of time to add more entries in here itself.

Happy New Year to All! May your life this year be better than last year's.

You are always complaining about something, especially about always having to do all the work, and make the easiest things difficult. Your grumbling can go too far and really hurt those around you. Even though you can be hard to deal with, others like you anyways because you are mysteriously charming and cute when you're mad. You are good at fixing things and are willing to take on large tasks...with a little grumbling of course! | |

I've been feeling lost and hollow of late. Not too sure why or what's causing it. There's so many things that seems to creep up to me so subtly that it's like I've just suddenly been dumped into the realm of chaos with everything and anything hitting at me all over at the same time. The sensation's just choking and feeling's very desperate for a release. I'm beginning to feel that I'm losing myself, losing my conscious and my soul... slowly but surely.
I'm not too sure when it has began or what had trigger it to happen. But I noticed that there's changes in myself. Slight but permanent. Mostly has been mentally but thankfully that the most drastic of them all are not in the physical part of me. Now-a-days, I feel the dam that I have carefully constructed over time has begun to weaken and that it would most probably not be able to hold back things that are needed to be kept away. Time, space, environment and needs seem to be the prime agents that have weaken my will considerably.
I'm not too sure how soon it would be before the dam cracks and falls. But by then, I hope there's nobody around to see the ugly side that would be release. Already its hidious influence have been slowly taking its toll in myself. Indirectly, I'm morphing and losing my conscience.
There are times where I would adopt a destructive behaviour; And other times, I'd be a real pain in the butt. Notice now that I have been withdrawing myself even from the world as to limit my hurting the people that I love and would have called friends and family. I can only apologize here itself whilst my sanity is still my own and my will itself for all the wrongs and unpleasant things I have and would have said or done. I no longer take pride in what I do or have care for what is right or wrong. I even laugh and find humor in others' pain and suffering. I'm no longer a good soul and I fear sharing my husk with the other darker side that's waiting for its release.
I seek the strenght both in my will and my sanity to continue fighting against its release if not emerge victorious, but it would probably take an eternity before it can be found. And hence, I do so inwardly and silently.

Hmm.. any opinion on what this guy's first impression is to you?
He's my colleague and a nice guy.. but too often lives in his own world that makes him seem weird..
Ah heck..
Other matters off hand, Nokia 3650 that I swapped with Shanice is in the factory getting a memory wipe. *sniff sniff*
Would love to get the phone back ASAP. Otherwise she'd not be able to use her MMS service since I'm hogging the Nokia 3300 now..
Apart from all this? hmm.. nothing much has changed. still in the same shithole.. working the same graveyard shift. Got some great people to suffer with me.. yea.. we'd make a great team of colleague cum friends. Anything else...? nah.. life's still a bitch, always had been and always will be

Ah well.. called up Nokia 2 days back in regards to future upgrades for my new phone. Sad to say that they don't have any upgrades for time being nor do they have any plan for it as well. Looks like will have to hunt around for 3rd party software/upgrade providers.
GODS! it's blardee 3.51AM over here now... And there are still people who are damn bloody well alive and flooding this place with freaking calls. Some idiots are just freaking pathetic.. Can't even pronounce GPRS correctly and they want to use the service itself. Best part is that they don't even fucking understand what the service is for.
Guess that proves the fact that there are never shortage of idiots.. especially when you don't need them at all. Freaks!
On another account, planning to get myself a phone line. It'll be either this month or the next.. depending on how broke I'd be by then..

Finally got the Nokia 3300 over the weekend. It's a nice phone overall.. THAT is if you don't have much expectation and intend it to be of normal usage (ie making/receive calls/SMS/picture messages). The bonus side of this phone is that it can double as a MP3 player with/without the handsfree, but unfortunately, the Radio function still requires the handsfree set as antenna.
Well.. here's the plus side that I can find so far
- acts as MP3 player (headset c/w 64Mb MMC)
- able to use MP3 as ringtone as well
- loudspeaker option to listen to your calls as well as MP3s (just like to add, it would have been better not to use the loudspeaker when you're on the phone as the speaker and the mic are in such awkward position that the person on the other side will find your voice very soft)
- durable feel
- color screen (only @ 4096 color)
- easily more than 8 hours of MP3/radio playtime
- can record audio from external source
And the bad side
- pretty heavy
- very restricted use of the MMC for time being.. s/w version 4.07 (wondering if there'll be any updates from Nokia)
- wallpaper/SMS/MMS share only phone memory, (read above line)
- max. size of MMS can receive/send is not more than 40Kb
- no infrared/Bluetooth option
- can't use GPRS modem externally (ie. connect to PDA/PC/Notebook)
Then again, if it's only basic usage, this phone is more than sufficient. Happy with it at the moment until I get some really good reason to hate it. Looking at Nokia 6230 & Nokia 7600.. seems impressive. Nokia 6230 seems like a heaven compare to other existing models since it's triband, offers Bluetooth/Infrared/GPRS/DATA/etc.. And Nokia 7600.. nice PDA-like design for 3G network.
Guess that's all for now. Back to work and more fiddling..
