Wonky
My office internet connection is wonky. The wireless keeps connecting and disconnecting.
I must be radiating bad vibes.
Hur hur.

The Monster in Me
I spent much effort controlling this monster in me. But recent events seem to tell me that I need to unleash it on the world.
I hate to think what it might make me become in the end. A cynic? Someone who has lost faith in good faith and humanity?
It has gurgled and threatened to burst forth before. But the pushing of the buttons this week is more frightening and urgent than before.
Why world, why?
I really don't want to be cynical. I want to enjoy the colours of flowers, not to be suspicious of people when they are nice to me, not to think about how i can get a pound of flesh from them... etc. But is the working world a place where the Hulk has to rule? Eat or be eaten? Kill or be killed? Be nice at your own peril?
This really bugs me.

Thoughts
Its been a long week, and its only Tuesday afternoon.
Office politics, boss being a doofus, and time contraints....
Its times like these, I wonder,
"Does one need to be an asshole to get ahead in life?"

Friendship
Some poignant thoughts on friendship...
1) Momentum - once lost, its hard to get back. Let it go and hope it comes back, forget the friendship ever existed or don't lose it in the first place.
2) What if you've known this person your whole life, almost literally grown up with him. One day, you've come to realise that you might not like certain parts of his character. What do you do? Leave him? Or just ignore it, and look at the parts that you like?
Hmm...

The toilet bowl water in the handicapped toilet (yes I use the handicapped toilet - so sue me) on my floor gurgles.

The stuff I did over the weekend include:
1. Going to a colleague's house for a get-together - it was near the office, bleargh.
2. Scratching my brother's car on my first drive out - thats gonna cost me.
3. Heading to the massive, hot, sweaty, and unfruitful Wing Tai sale - had to fight off aunties and foreign nationals buying for wholesale.
4. Helping my little Pri 5 cousin set up his blog. - Nowadays ah, Pri 5 students also very advanced. Want to set up blog. Ever wondered what ranks as important in the mind of a 11 year old? Read his blog. Haha.

Desire
In a world of never-ending wants and desires,
Do we pause and ask ourselves, what do we really need?

Last Night
Dinner with a pair of "couple" friends,
Me obsessing about his new girlfriend, who is a has nice skin tone, svelte racing "legs", good ehem - pipes.
When you stick the key into her, turn it on right... she purrs ever so sweetly, music to my ears.
I want her. But he is not one to share. And neither am I.
Mah, I jealous of your bike!! Haha.

BKK
I've just come back from:
"The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn."
Busy now, a post on that later.

More Bad English
My colleague's name is Vivian. So I'm going to call her mistakes Vivianisms (ala Bushisms).
Anyway, im back from a holiday. New developments. She is speaking in an accent now...
"No prol-brem", she says as she rolls her tongue uncessarily.
*cringe*

Imagination
This post is going to be weird, but read it with an open mind...
Some days, when I've actually gotten enough sleep and wake up alert, my imagination can go pretty wild...
Like today, in the train to work. I've realised that with all the shuffling of the commuters on and off the train, and people tip-toeing, struggling to get a balance on a rocking train, these actions could actually fit pretty nicely into an MTV for M.J's Billie Jean. I was listening to that song in the train this morning... try it! And use your imagination!
Have a good day!

RAGE!
My colleague's English is so bad I want to take up my chair and beat her to death with it!
ARGH!!!
Actually, I'm fighting the urge to turn around and correct her every sentence.
You see, my company has recently hired a telemarketer to find new companies to buy. She is a Malaysian from some kampung town in Ipoh. Diploma graduate some more. But her command of the English language is sooo... bad that although she tries, I can never understand her! And believe me, considering I have met people from Nigeria, India, China and Slovenia, I do make an effort to understand what they are trying to say.
But with her... I give up. She always goes, "umm... whatch i mean is"... and that really drives me up the wall.
And can you imagine she is calling all these SME 500 companies, and talking to their MDs? She sits behind me, and I cringe when she calls them and the first thing she asks is, "I understand that are you the owner of the company?" "The reason I am calling today is to ask you are you want to grow your company?"
Or better still, "You MD is Mr XXX, did he in?"
Tell you, if I was them, I would hang up.
ARGH... I need earplugs!
Tell you ah, when she sends me memos, I'll have to meet her and ask what she is actually intending to say, in Mandarin.
Sigh...
