and the camel's ass continues to spew bigotry

latest comment in yet another official company meeting:

camel's ass: now i masuk tandas i dah bau kari dah!

what has going to the loo situated on another level got to do with the smells in the loo situated in another level, huh ass? you exaggerate far too much that it is waaaayyyy beyond logic.

those who are sitting with this particular race/nationality of people that you claim to stink of curry dont get any smell pun. so how is it that you, who sit on another level altogether, in a room of your own, can smell curry?

have you ever thought that maybe, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO STINKS?

i wish you were an ant to i could squish you. unfortunately you're a camel (its backside) --too big for me to squish.

i hate bigots

i just came out of a meeting and i am so friggin pissed off at my ex-ceo who is a real shit. here are some things that he said at the close of the meeting (saving the best for last or just being a friggin chicken shit so he can run out of the door as soon as he makes discriminating comments???)

stupid comment no.1

"lets not hire any more indians. i masuk office i dah bau dah..." (wtf... i dont smell anything. no one else complains about any smell either. only he does. and from his past actions/comments, we all know hes got something against indians. mtf.)

stupid comment no.2

"let's do something about female smokers in the company. they shouldnt be smoking in public." (arghhhh!!!! dont you just feel like slapping the back of his head?? maybe if you do it hard enough, the cells responsible for his stupidity will jump out of his mouth. bastard.)

i hope karma comes and kicks you in the balls. i hope you get a daughter-in-law who's indian and smokes. padan muka you. and if you do really get such a daughter-in-law then heres my message to her: put your father-in-law in his place please i.e. in a locked room with the keys thrown far-far-away. he shouldnt be allowed out in public.

i hate stupid racist discriminating bigots --shame on you.

to my ex-ceo, wtf are you still doing here? orang dah tak nak you dah... thats why you're an EX. paham tak?? and from your actions today, we know why lah. so why dont you just leave. just because the new ceo is nice enough to appoint you as an advisor (which doesnt mean jackshit cos its just out of pity and respect for old people --not sure why you deserve ANY respect though), doesnt mean that you should over-stay your welcome.

please dont come in tomorrow, cos if you do, then you'll trouble me with looking for another table to sit at. i dont think i can stomach sitting in front of a bigot the whole day.

busy bee

it was a busy busy weekend. it started with a day off on friday that was spent at the consumer tribunal in kl. which ended unfavorably for us. long story short, we paid rm8k for a maid that ran away, we asked the agency for a refund, they refused, so we took the agency to the consumer tribunal court. unfortunately, the tribunal only agreed to refund us 44% of what we had paid to the agency. which basically is just the maid's advanced salary LESS the number of days the silly girl "worked" (and i use the term very very very loosely) with us. i is so hangryyy... with the agency, with the judge, with the silly maid... oh well... thats rm4.6k down the drain and i have nothing to show for it. eff lah.

on to chirpier things. on saturday i visited 2 homes: my sister and another girlfriend who are both in puchong (and managed to have meals in both homes in the span of 2 hours... glutton!), i zoomed back to kepong so my son could have a rest and i could do my nails and later feed and bathe him, zoomed into kl to get the husband and then we zoomed to another party. so tired. but i also felt so productive. imagine, i could even fit in a mani and pedi session. of course, my little boy was kacau-ing me the whole time. thank God for playpens and fun song factory dvds... ok ok... and for pacifiers (kills me to say it though).

on sunday, treat of all treats, the husband didnt have to go in to work. yippee! so we all went for another birthday party in the afternoon and got back home with lots of time for some much needed lazing in front of the tv. in the evening we went to a nearby pasar malam and i had my fill of durians. sadly, the husband and my son were running away from me. in my sons case, he was running away screaming --no joke!

so now, back to work and boy do i have a lot of work. bosan work some more.

have i mentioned that i anger with the stupid maid agency?

management by body language

i have a boss. who is a guy. an old datuk. who is a real piece of work. here are some comments that he has either made or often makes:

1. from his body language, something is wrong with him / dia not happy here / dia on drugs. i tengok dia, macam abnormal sikit. you all better monitor him. theres something wrong, i dont know what, jangan tanya i apa dia... but ada yang tak kena dengan orang ni. wow, i see you got a masters in reading body language sir!
2. kalau you temp / contract staff, buat lah macam tak ada duit. hisap rokok kena lah dengan your status. jangan lah buang sebelum rokok tu habis. kena lah hisap sampai habis sebab you sepatutnya tak ada duit, sebab tu you temp / contract staff. wtf...
3. orang muda-muda ni pakai kereta mewah buat apa? nanti rosak, you dont know what to do. err call aam? call a mechanic? what... if kereta murah & rosak means he WOULD know what to do is it?
4. you all ni, living outside of your means. tak cukup ke duit yang company bagi? yes tak cukup. not when one person also does 3 other people's jobs cos you're too cheap to employ 3 other people.
5. saya tak kedekut. you memang kedekutttt.
6. saya bukan dictator. i dont make decisions alone. kita ada committee. you are a communist. your committee members all disagree with you but you insist on whatever hare-brained idea you have.
7. aaaaahhhh... itu yang dalam kepala saya!! he says this right after someone has finished stating their own ideas. basically, he claims credit for himself right in front of the person who should be getting the credit.
8. i dont know why people think this is a malay company. maybe because 95% of the workforce is malay?
9. we went for recruitment drive at universities but i dont know why the students didnt want to come. maybe because I*B*M was also there & you're too cheap on your marketing budget.
10. tengok tak iklan petrona*s? simple saja & straight to the point. nothing fancy... just very simple but impact is good. i dont know why our marketing team cannot do it. maybe because you're too cheap on your marketing budget & dont believe in hiring professionals to come up with good ads?
11. saya suspicious bila orang ambil mc. sebab mc ni you can buy. sebab tu, i will penalize those who take up more than 1/2 of their yearly mc entitlement. & yes, some people do but the burden of proof is on you. so you call lah doctor tu tanya betul ke, sakit apa ke... if i'm entitled to 14days of mc then you should only penalize me when i've taken 15days & not when i 've only taken 8days. giler kah apa kah?
12. nasib lah (read: so what?)... saya ceo... asshole...
13. this girl just resigned. dia kata dia ikut husband dia pergi overseas. macam-macam... ni mesti kena control by husband dia ni. wtf...
14. if you are sick, you should still be able to come into work. its all in the mind. & so when i have chicken pox & come into the office & pass it onto the others & then ALL of us still come into the office then you have an office full of pox, sitting at our desks, scratching away. bodoh.
15. i have a right to making my own observations & perceptions (of the world). & the world has the same right to make our perception of you.
16. this was said to me when i told him i was getting married: your religion ni, you have to be careful when you get married. because tak boleh kahwin more than 1. so, if your husband ada illegitimate children, they dont have a claim on his estate. & you say this to me, his legal wife who will bear his legitimate children whyyy? what a doomsayer kannn...
17. & this was said to me when i told him i was pregnant: we have no say in what we get. you might get anak yang cacat. hmm... he thinks that he can make such comments because he does have a special child. ya fine but come on... its not something that a mother-to-be wants to hear isit. if it happens then ok, boleh lah you give your advice about how we dont have a choice in this matter etc. right?
18. this is the latest and the bestest: for bonus this year, we have decided to penalize those who went on maternity leave. because being pregnant & having children is a punishable act of crime therefore i am penalized isit? because you are not in the office for 2 months orang lain yang buat kerja tu. fine, so will you give the money you take from me to my colleague yang take over my work? i doubt it. no, we didnt make this decision based on gender. it was based on non-performance for 2months. doesnt matter what your intentions were but after all is said & done, only women get penalized. doesnt matter if you still work from home in the 2months, we cannot split hair so much cos if not, this will never end. yet when you want to be anal on some things, you can & do but we cant argue this to the death?

there are many, many more things that he has said & done that has offended & annoyed. i cannot wait for him to go, if he ever does go. so i guess i'm gonna have to. better get cracking on my cv...

men are the cause of all our woes

harummmppffhhhh....

i have a topic for the mix-fm djs to air in the mornings: men shouldnt talk about things they know nuts about i.e. pms/menstruation/pregnancy.

the husband has this nifty skill for pissing me off when he talks about these things as if hes an expert by experience. of course my standard reply would be: dont talk to me, or any women for that matter, about how to deal with pms/menstruation/pregnancy until the day you start bleeding from your dingdong on a monthly basis or experience another person gestating in your tummy.

talk so much. pfffftttt!!!

he thinks that women, these days, use pms/menstruation/pregnancy as an excuse for being bitchy/lazy/sickly etc. sometimes i wonder, this is the man i married, but he seems to know shit all about his own wife. he seems to have the opposite view (of the kind of person i am) from other people who know me.

growing up, i have never been seen as a sickly person. never. although i wasnt an all-out athlete by any standard, i was captain of the school hockey team (although this appointment was probably due to my discipline & leadership qualities ~ahhhemmm~ rather than to any atheletic prowess). i was an average player. ok lah. takde lah olympic standards ball-dribbling skills but hey, i did everything that the next player did. warm-ups, running, sweating, practice blablabla... ok so, my point is, the husband sees me as someone who is fragile because i dont exercise much now & because come pms/menstruation/pregnancy time, i'm usually out of commission with backaches etc.

hellooo.

just because i feel poorly come pms/menstruation/pregnancy time doesnt mean that im fragile lah wei. it just means that im a female human who is physically (& this is scientifically proven) expected to feel out of sorts once a month. ok so, yeah, i dont deny that i should exercise more for over-all well-being & yeah, probably this will help with the syndromes tagged to pms/menstruation/pregnancy. but its not who i am. i am genetically a non-exerciser. i exercise once in a while but takde lah equivalent to a gym freak. maybe i swim once a week. its like this: i read books religiously. when i run out of books, i feel susah hati. no shit. but the husband isnt like this. do i hold it against him? no i dont. do i accuse him of being weak-minded? no of course not.

arghhh...

happy valentines to you too.

my visit to the dentist(s)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Molar (tooth)

Molars are the rearmost and most complicated kind of tooth in most mammals. in many mammals they grind food; hence the Latin name mola, “millstone”.

Human molars

Adult humans have twelve molars, in four groups of three at the back of the mouth. the third (rearmost) molar in each group is called a wisdom tooth. it is the last tooth to appear, breaking through the surface of the gum at about the age of twenty, although this varies by ethnicity.

********************

i was on mc last friday. the husband & i made a visit to klinik pergigian bangsar in jalan travers for some cheap dental services. hah!

we got there early at about 8am. & i was pretty impressed with the counter service (surprisingly friendly) & restrooms (surprisingly clean) but once i sat myself into the reclining dental chair, the dentist just whizzed through her examination of my mouth. literally whizzed. the experience lasted all of one minute… or two… tops. & i was like “eh? done already ah??”. she was in such a hurry that i was afraid to ask her any questions except for “err, doc… howsabout my wisdom tooth, can we extract it?” to which her answer was “no cannot, it’s too small, wait till it grows summore.”

& of course being the medical school drop-out that i am, i knew that in cases of gigi pandai like mine, its never as straight-forward as: wait till it grows then we can extract. i mean, all the other private expensive clinics i’ve been to always advise me that it depends on the position of your wisdom tooth. some can never grow bcos its being blocked by something else. some grow but excruciatingly so.

so in a state of tak-puas-hati-ness, i told the husband that i want to go to a private clinic lah. no matter lah if it will cost an arm & a leg or not. i couldn’t take the perpetual throbbing in my head & the constant soreness in my gums & mouth.

so we had breakfast first (just in case the private clinic does remove the irritating tooth & I couldn’t eat) & then headed to a recommended dentist in jengjengjeng… jinjang-land. the dentist was very nice, very gentle & was very good with explaining things (as the recommendor promised me). she even told me i matched her orange furniture bcos i was wearing an orange top. i’m not too sure if this was a compliment or complisult (compliment + insult) but she said it with a smile & that made it ok. anyhow, i had to open my mouth, hold a piece of something in place inside my mouth (so inelegant ok) & we did an x-ray & found that the gigi, although coming down straight & not senget-senget, was indeed being blocked by the neighboring molar. & so, if i had taken the government clinic dentist’s diagnosis, die lah me. bcos it wouldn’t have come out & i would have to live with the head-throbbing & mouth sores. even if the tooth could come out without impediments, i would still choose to remove it asap.

the cost of this minor surgery to remove the tooth is (at most) rm500. sigh. therefore, the moral of the story is, we have to pay extra for good service. of course if you really think about it, we also “pay” for sub-standard service bcos in my opinion, i pay taxes so that there is a government dental clinic to provide such services to us. i could rant about the injustice of it all but maybe i’ll save it for another day hor.

before you say that i can get it done cheaper in other private clinics (& yes it may be so), let me just say this: i have done my homework. i have sourced for price quotations from dentists in puchong, pj, ttdi & jinjang & all quoted the same thing: between rm350 to rm500 depending on the complexity of the procedure. note that i chose dental clinics in different vicinities just to eliminate any concerns on cartel-like price fixing.

come this thursday when i have my date with the scalpel, i’ll be (at most) rm500 poorer. lucky i can claim from my company.

wisdom is expensive

ya, it really is.

in the last 12 months, TWO of my wisdom teeth decided to make an appearance.

after 30 years. ishk. one was extracted.

painfully bcos it cost me nearly rm400 buckaroos. ouch.

for ONE extraction ok. did i get conned?

another is right now pushing its way through my gums even as we speak.

bladieshiets. its not so painful as it is annoying.

i notice i get sore throats more often,

headaches more often,

fevers more often.

I THINK it’s bcos of this teething thing lah.

i mean it makes sense dunnit?

babies get sick when they’re teething

so why not adults right.

irritating ahhhh…

prayers

i haven’t really been following the

story on the missing girl nurin jazlin

but yesterday’s paper on the body-in-a-bag

news really caught my attention.

today they dna-confirmed that the

body is really that of nurin’s.

the poor girl. may her young soul rest in peace.

i offer a prayer for you, little one.

so kasian & so sad.

i hope the murderer dies a slow, horrible excruciating death

& after that, continue to rot in hell.

someone should stick a durian up his ding-dong.

see how he likes it.

bastardo.

i don’t mean to be judgmental, but i am

gonna be that here anyways

& i’m not sure whether i want to apologize for it,

but how in the world could nurin’s parents have allowed

her to go to the pasar malam on her own?

& no, saying that she said that she was going with

her 9-year old sister is equally baffling.

they are kids.

they’re kids in today’s world.

where kids go missing & bad things happen

to them bcos there are psychopaths around.

i don’t have kids of my own, so sure,

bash me for talking about something

i may not know anything about,

but hey, this isn’t just about parenting skills,

this is about having common sense.

it’s like giving a kid a gun &

expecting him to know NOT to use it.

don’t be stupid.

despite my judgmental tirade,

i do feel sorry for her family.

it must be heart-wrenching to have to go through this.

so, i’ll offer a prayer for them too

that they will get through this somehow.

God Bless.
