Ghost in the office

Prior to joining a new company, this guy A was working at boat quay area. In those tall building offices like UOB and such. His office was quite high up the level at least 30 and above. Normally he will have to stay back for OT and in the evening, all the lifts will be stopped due to security reasons. Whenever he wanted to leave, he will need to call the old security uncle to activate the lift from ground floor to his level. Then the uncle will send the lift up.

After sometime, he left the company and joined another place where his office also very high up in the building. Hence if do OT, also need to call uncle to send lift up. Then it came the day that he's working OT for the first time at the new place. He stayed back till 12 plus am and When he's about to leave, he called the security uncle to send the lift up. After packing up he went to the lobby to wait for the lift. He waited and waited. 10 mins passed, Lift not up. He waited for another 10 mins and call the security uncle. S denotes security here.

A: Hello Uncle ah, have you send the lift up?

S: Yeah sent liao.

A: No leh I been waiting for 20 mins liao leh

S: No meh? okie okie I send again.

Another 5 minutes went by. No lift came up. The guy got worried. He's the last person to leave and there's no one around. He called the uncle on his handphone again.

A: Er... Uncle ah, you sure you sent the lift up?

S: Yeah I sent it up twice liao leh.

A: But I saw the lifts all on the first floor leh!

S: Aiyoh. Nevermind. I take the lift up and look for you. Again,

A waited. 5 minutes passed but none of the lift are moving. Then suddenly, his hp ring. The uncle voice was on the other side of the line sounding very weird.

S: Where are you? I am here. But I cannot find you.

All this while A was staring at the display of the lifts. All at level 1..... and the uncle is here.... shit something is not right. A straight away chiong to the stairs and dashed down the building... When he reached ground level, he chiong to the security counter and he found out that..............

He had actually called the old security uncle in the building of his ex- company and not the security uncle of his new office -_- He work till siao liao and was damn blur. Feeling very pai seh, he also never call back to explain to the security uncle from the building of his ex- company. Blur cock and poor uncle. He must be the one who actually freaked out going all the way up and saw no one there hahaha

Moral of the story - dun work OT lah!!

Hasrat Sang Suami

Seorang suami sedang mencari-cari helah untuk membolehkan dia berkahwin lagi. Antara alasan yang diberikannya:

Suami : Lelaki kawin 3 baru lah sah

Isteri : Kenapa pula?

Suami : Cuba terjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Inggeris, "satu" is one, "dua" is two, "tiga" isteri (is three). Baru betul dan sah!.

Isteri : Tapi abang kena faham Bahasa Inggeris, terutama tentang "singular" dan "plural"

Suami : Berkenaan apa tu?

Isteri : Satu tu "Singular"; dua atau lebih "Plural"

Suami : Contohnya?

Isteri : One car sebagai singular, two cars sebagai plural. Apa bezanya?

Suami : Ohhh... tambah huruf "s" untuk yang plural

Isteri : Betul tu. Sama juga la untuk abang

Suami : Macam mana pula boleh sama?

Isteri : Satu isteri abang MAMPU , jika dua isteri dah jadi plural, Maka abang MAMPUS tambah "s" je, kan?

Lepas daripada tu, si-suami tidak pernah lagi berceritakan hasratnya untuk berkahwin lagi...

p/s: ahaa..hambik ko! yelah tu tak berani!

Summary: The Blood of Flowers

From a recent blogs that I visited, if I were to write the summary of this charming tales, somewhere somehow might not as details as this one. Thanks again to this unknown friend!

In 17th-century Persia, a 14-year-old woman believes she will be married within the year. But when her beloved father dies, she and her mother find themselves alone and without a dowry. With nowhere else to go, they are forced to sell the brilliant turquoise rug the young woman has woven to pay for their journey to Isfahan, where they will work as servants for her uncle, a rich rug designer in the court of the legendary Shah Abbas the Great. Despite her lowly station, the young woman blossoms as a brilliant designer of carpets, a rarity in a craft dominated by men. But while her talent flourishes, her prospects for a happy marriage grow dim. Forced into a secret marriage to a wealthy man, the young woman finds herself faced with a daunting decision: forsake her own dignity, or risk everything she has in an effort to create a new life.

During the 17th-century in this region, it was a male-dominated society. It is still this way in many Middle Eastern countries. In this novel, a young girl watches a comet shoots across the sky, and when it has passed life begins to change for her very drastically. She should have been finding her husband and moving on with her life, but her father dies unexpectedly and suddenly her and her mother have nothing. She has no dowry to find a husband, and they have no one to farm for them, so they are just barely getting by. A kind man comes to the village and asks them if there is anything he can do for them, and the mother implores him to track down her deceased husbands half-brother in the hopes that he will take them in and help them get back on their feet.

When they move from their village to the rather large Isfahan, life changes drastically for her and her mother. Suddenly they are not in control of their own household, and have to take orders from the wife of their father's brother. She is not very sympathetic, and looks upon them as new slaves for her household. She does not really know anything about domestic work, but she does have ideas about how it should be done. They live in riches, but she is always afraid that there will not be enough, so she is always looking for opportunities to gather more wealth for her husband.Her niece opens up what she hopes will be a great business venture when a wealthy man asks to marry her. It is not a regular wedding, though, the marriage would only last for three months, and then he can request more time with her every three months after that. It could turn into a regular marriage, but in the process she will lose her virginity and this can jeopardize future relationships. It is a chance that her mother is willing to take because it will give her money. Her aunt wants it to happen because it could meet more business for her rug-making husband.

This book is about a girl in a very strict culture wishing for something more. She wants to be a rug-maker like her uncle, but that is not an opportunity that is allowed to women. Her uncle helps her, though, teaching her the tricks of his trade and allowing her to help him. When things get complicated with her marriage arrangement, she must decide on a safe course of action or one where her safety net could disappear. She has to decide whether her own future is more important than the safety the marriage is currently providing her with. This is a book about a girl that dares to break the rules of her society to better herself and live out her dreams.

Recommended: The Blood of Flowers

Trust me, this book really enchanting and beautiful. I must say that I rarely find this kind of book easily and from now, I’ll start looking for this type of writing. Tired to search for novels with the real tales inside, I found out this novels really have its own fire. Normally, with my limited time, I might finish one book quite sometimes, but not this time. Of course, it is nothing to compared to my excitement if I got any reading materials (doesn’t matter it’s quality..belasah je sume!) during my study time, where I happily to skip my meals and sacrifice my time to sleep to finish it one shot.

Reading to this tales, makes me feel very grateful for what I’ve been now. The tales is written in a very real and conscious way, nothing like “only two of us lives in this world” or “Nobody understand our love story” or something like “having a very bad stepmother + abused + very poor but very beautiful and smart (eventhough smart people also don’t know how to protect themselves ~ yerkkhh~) and then the prince will save you” type of story. The life of a girl aged 14 years there is very different from what we have now. At aged 15 (obviously still below 21), they already become a devoted wife and mother. What do we have here, in Malaysia??? girls run away from family, followed their love ? heroes from L*****? rempit? tendang cikgu kat skool? aiiyaaakkk....pening kepala parents nak pikir.

To those who really to become more MATURE THINKER/person (ahaha.. like me can arr?), this book might be one step for you to begin improving your mind! Ahaha.. Kudos to the writer, Anita Amireazzani, as this is her very first novel published and yet able to expose her ability successfully.

Money vs Holiday (pre eid-fitr)

I would say that my Hari Raya celebration this year was really testing my physical and mental fitness. It forced me to think not only twice, but yet again and again. Maybe it was small conflict for some of you but given with all the limited time, information and resources (or shall I say money?), I found that it is hard to make some live-or-dead decision. For instance, one of my conflicts before hari raya was the application for raya leave.

This one is quite annoying problem as it is under the uncertainty situation, where at first, fstep didn’t let us to take any leave and simultaneously they informed to all the FIs’ HR ~ not to let us taking any leave during hari raya. Come on! that’s really aggravated!! as we know, u know and they all know that that Friday (read 3^rd day of raya), majority of the Malaysian were still take off for holiday (90% were malay, of course). No works, no people and the cafétaria also will be closed (read DANGER and CRITICAL). Yeap, I would understand if we are in probation period, or just start working, for sure we will not ask for any leave. Yet, it turns out that our program (read fstep) was in our 8th or 9th month, without any leaves (except the 2 days as we finished our classes because nothing to do while being there looo) it is really tiring and exhausting.

And to make thing worse, the tales (read rumours) about our leave kept growing amongst the fstepians. I shall say that the most rumours I ever heard for a very short time would be during this fstep program. Everybody is like knowing something, but either u can trust it or not.. hehe..better be careful as it is from A said that B recalled C told ….(hollaaa..at last u never know who said what). I think that might be a true news but we know, the program (read... u know what to read) always had this ‘surprise’ OR last minute changes, thus don’t believe anybody until u heard or being told by the program coordinator by himself/themselves, and if it is turns to be wrong again.. u better stab “someone” (read Mr/Ms X or him/her). Afterwards, maybe because the huge tensed or urges from various FIs’ HR, the program (read management) concluded that our allowance shall be deducted IF we want to take leave! (Whoooaaa…ugut nampak?! Haha..). Tolak la…who cares (deep in my heart, I do care sikt la).hoho.. My advise to employer outside: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF INTERNS, and don’t give options la whether to choose holiday or money, that one-day allowance deduction, because of course we will stick to take that “precious” holiday! Hahaha… That’s really happen as almost all participants of the program (read ….) especially malays didn’t think twice eventhough allowance will be deducted accordingly. Uhuhu..seems like money lost to the holiday in this battle. At first, I didn’t influenced by the others to take leave. What to lose? After all, I’m Selangorian whatt??? However, when che decide to go back to Ganu earlier, I have to sacrifice my 2 day allowance la..ahaha..a bit “kupik” la, ya lahhhh….sehari RM 100++, huhuhu… Finally, I took 2 days leaves for hari raya celebration this year. Is there anything to lose? Not really except the money!! Who’s winning? I guessed this time… holiday won! Next time..dunno yet! ~sigh~

p/s: Final announcement from them (u know who), they wont deduct our Friday’s allowance as government also holiday loooo… ahahaha..Alhamdulillah, it minimise our loss.
