they said it is cool

some of you may know, if I ever mentioned SWINGERS on my msn, it doesn't mean that SWINGING thing. Very kind of my friends advise me that is not a nice word, and asked me "tiff.. do you know what swinger means right? " and told to refer to wikipedia... I am not hooking up with those type of widely known swingers. That is our sports club in my company. Then, I get responses - "oh! cool" or "phew" or "your company has sports club!" or "okay..." or "wow!!" or "i see..." or "IS your company HIRING?!" or "cool! you are paid to play?" ( shhh.. no no, we do work too )

{ work is good for you }

This world is like this. When you are willing to contribute your life, its life, people. ya! your life that was given by your mom and dad. Again, If you are willing to contribute your precious life to your employer, you are a perfect employee. You have to be damn agree with this statement. It is a fact, a fact that should be stated in the encyclopedia.

How to be a perfect employee ?
01. work as if you have no home.
02. work over time as if there is no tomorrow.
03. work over working hour as if you have no life.
04. work as if there is no washroom available.
05. work as if you have no pride, be obedient and bow to everyone.
06. work like a cute little slave donkey, just shut up and do it.
07. work and be forever grateful that you have a just-enough wage.
08. work as if there is no world out of the office.
09. work as if you don't deserve a holiday or an unpaid leave.
10. work as if you don't have your lunch hour.
11. work and keep on working and never step into the pantry.
12. work as if your health is like shit for your life.
13. work like buy one free one million for your employer.
14. work and expect to get unfair treatment.
15. work, but don't ever hope for appreciation or compliment.
16. work out of your job scope as if you are over starved and get mad        at the "all you can eat" buffet.
17. work like a desperate bee, desperate and can't wait for more and
       more and more in-coming jobs.
18. work earlier than the fixed working hour as if your eyes will
       never needed to close for rest.

       know the walls hate either one.
21. work and make sure you will not fall sick, else your performance

22. work, at the same time, mind every breathe you take, every
       move you make, as they might cause you sentence of death.

{ a step away to the labour court }

In the begining of this dearly holidays, my case has come to a step away to the labour court. I think this is not the best idea. My dad has been too protective to me, I think I have disappoint him the most. That was my decision for my own. I know he could understand that, may be needed more time to. My dad has reached to the level that he has an extremely huge heart, which he hoped that I will be like him. I am so sorry to say, I really can't do it or I am way too young to let go everything in the world. EVERYTHING means nothing? Even though I understand that, this is something that was not belong to me when I came to this world. I just can't get over with my own will inside me. I am sorry. For this moment, I respect my dad the most. It has never been easy to be my dad for this 21 years, eternally grateful to have this "baba" - how I call my daddy.

Thank you mommy and Michael, who have supported me along the way and have waited out of the labour office room for the whole session. Good Luck to Pei Shan, who still need to carry on with another file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case has not close yet, but this could be a little mini ending of it. Will be continue with the finale soon.

{ almost holiday mood + nose dropped }

I am going to have 1 whole week of holidays for DeepaRaya. I am not sure whether I have to be ashame with I have been hanging around in the office, taking pictures of the office cat (real cat of course), waiting to punch the card at 7pm sharp then go home.

Guess what I have been doing these 3 days? First of all, Blog, then play with Adobe Photoshop, Minesweeper, Solitaire, FreeCells, hold on, there are more meaningful ones. I have been to websites, like, Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com to check out some words, read through some beneficial blogs, listened to some good songs, and flip through the 1,000 Greetings (heaven knows how many times), a book for creative correspondence designed for all occasions, such as invitations, announcements, greetings and self-promotion. Oh yeah, I have been to Corbis.com and simply type some nonsense and see what pictures will it comes out, it's quite fun when I see some pictures that I didn't expect it to be there. Try it.

Okay, some people might have question, how could I be so FREE? It is because, my boss is having his trip in Hong Kong, and I didn't get any order of doing any project. In addition, this season has the LEAST events planning (according to my boss). I am working in a stage production company, production for backdrops, stages, booths, etc.

Today, I have filled up half of the office dust bin with wet and crumpled facial tissue paper. My nose is about to come off from my face, I have been sneezing and blowing nose since 8am, and now is 3:30pm. It just non-stop. stop it~!! As I have been blowing my nose too much, I found that my ears are getting stucked with the pressure in and out. I thought I was nearly deaf.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
shame on me? aaaahchoo~~

{ its a holiWORKINGday }

It should be Selangor state holiday. My dearest Boss said we need to back to work, plus he didn't even notice that it's a holiday.

Someone discovered that, Asian thinks they need a holiday in order to produce efficient work. After a break, people are expected to work even harder with better performance, while Western works for holidays. All hardworks are just for the most desirable moment throughout the year, the HOLIDAYS. Regardless the work has done or not.

I found it quite true. It was the culture background affected this scenario. Application for leaves has become a dishonor attidude in working performance. Hard working is always known as the Asian's proud-to-be virtue, working too hard might be another story.

Sometimes, rest is not necessary to make us reach a longer distance journey. Vice versa, we go for the further journey to reach for more "rest stops" - probablities to take a look around the beautiful scenery.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps we have been too used to the flattering compliment and forgot about enjoying life & when is the PERFECT happy moment most of the time? Nevertheless, Play HARD, Work HARD.

{ BIGgest heart }

It's a heart that couldn't be fully dipped in the Niagara Fall, too huge, the closest illustration that I could portrait in my mind when I think of to have a big and wide heart. A heart that has too much capacity to accept and ready for any circumstances in life.

I dare not say that I have the biggest heart in the world, I am trying to be, you may say. After 3 days of thoughts and advices collection, I think the money doesn't matter at all, win or lose of the case either. It was a victorious action when I stood for my own rights, at least I have tried my best. If the money doesn't meant to be mine, it doesn't meant to be his as well.

" Who is right, who is wrong, does it matter anymore? ", The Storyteller, I heard from ENCORE. The Law of cause and effect will tell the story, I believe. I have nothing to lose as I am young, I have time and I am sure that I will have the good fortune to enjoy my happiness of living in this beautiful world.

feeling better, doesn't mean that I've give up.

{ dramatic monday }

I have been to the labour department, today is the day that I will not forget in my life. I have met someone with the combination of wolf and turtle. This person, cunning like a extremely hungry wolf, makes up all kind of stories in front of everyone. This person, hides himself away from the fact like a little fragile turtle.

This day, I was being directly insulted on my face, plus the most ridiculous part - my signature has being forged on a fake agreement. All and all by this pityful creature, so afraid of he would be suffer from the result of unfair treatment to his employees, therefore he made up everything that is possible to protect himself away from justice punishment.

How could I forget this? I didn't want all these, seriously. I am being emotionally tortured and the words are keep repeating in my head. I need some times to get rid of it definitely. What else could this person do more? All are unpredictable, this is the real world huh? Like I was watching myself in the movie, but so real.

I am not sure what to do is right. To give up or not, so that I could end my karma at this stage. Will this treatment happen to me one day? Afterall, I have to say Thanks to my dearest peers in the labour office who fight together by my side and friends on the phone, I know I couldn't have stood so firmly without you guys there. Promise me that will not leave me alone okay?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a fault in the begining. I shouldn't have been there.
