2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 24,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

LOL…

Ao no Exorcist

Gosh… when I saw this pic…

in deviantART, (this pic belongs to seal-sierra if you want it down just holler!) I was like OMG SO BEAUTIFULLLLL!!!!

At that time I had no idea that Ao no Exorcist exist… I shared this pic with a friend of mine and we both gush over it…

It was not until later that I discovered the existence of Ao no Exorcist or AOEX…

And thus I started watching the anime as well as reading the manga and promptly fell head over heels in love with it…

However, I actually love Bon more than all the characters in AOEX.

I hope it will be as epic as FMA… Which is my NO 1 favourite anime/manga of all time!

PS: After the countless gushing I had over this pic I still can’t get over how beautiful thic pic is… OMG… It is sooooooooo perfectly romatic… *gushes*

Joke

Some joke I found in a fanfiction… Kudos to jAnon of fanfiction.net…

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. I don’t know where, let’s say they were taking a nice little trip in the country somewhere. It’s not important.

They pitch their tent under the stars and go to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, Holmes wakes Watson. ‘Watson, look up at the sky and tell me, what do you see?’

Watson replies, ‘Why, I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes old fellow.’

Sherlock Holmes answers, ‘And what do you deduce from that?’

Watson thinks for a bit. He’s determined to give Holmes an answer that’s going to hit it right on the head. For once in his life, he won’t hear his friend say somethin’ along the lines of ‘elementary, my dear Watson,’ the phrase is getting a bit stale.

He thinks and thinks and he can feel his brain spinnin’ its gears and the grey cells chuggin’ away. Eureka! He has an epiphany. This is surely the answer Holmes is looking for.

‘It’s quite simple, Holmes. If there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, then it’s quite likely that there are some planet that resemble earth, simply due to the laws of probability. And if there are a few earth like extraterrestrial bodies, then we might also speculate the existence of life on those planets.’

Haha! he thinks, triumphant. I’ve got him now. He give himself a little pat on the back. Well done, Watson old boy, well done.

But Holmes says, ‘I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re going on about, my dear Watson. The fact that we are able to see the stars simply means that someone has stolen our tent.’

My first job…

A post, about my first official job after graduation.

In all the job was a good job. It’s a IT job where I got a know a lot of wonderful people and also 1 not so wonderful person.

As usual blogging is about not so positive stuff so I shall skip the lovey dovey stuff and get down and dirty.

~10 things I hate about my job…~

1. My boss

2. My boss

3. My boss

4. boss…

and so on… You get d idea lar hah…

All this while when working with him (boss) I been psychoanalyzing myself with questions such as,

1. Y do I gradually raise my voice whenever I talk to him?

2. Y am I over angry at stupid not very important stuff?

3. Y do I feel like punching his over large nose whenever I see him?

4. Is he really that hateful?

5. Is it only me or does everyone feel the same?

6. Is he that bad at communicating or do I play a part in our mis-communicating?

7. Y do I gradually go from wanting to punch his nose to wanting to kick his nuts?

and so on and so forth…

In the end I realize that I’m not the only person who feels like that. Practically the whole dept feels that way about him (not that I’m justifying myself, but seriously he IS that bad). Which is not a shocker at all.

I almost had several near shouting matches with him, but I’ve managed to keep my voice down (as down as possible at that situation) telling myself that shouting at your own boss is a big NO NO…

Letting off steam by complaining and inventing scenarios where he would get fired are the only things I can to to keep my temper down.

~Onto the thing I (and practically everyone, as in really everyone. Even people from other dept.) hate about him.~

1. We can never understand each other. Our conversation mostly consist of me asking, what is your point and him answering with a heavy sigh (which makes me wanna punch him harder).

2. He expects me to read his mind and know what to do. After 30 minutes of repetitively explaining something which I dun completely understand, I finally burst out and said,

Me: So what you wan me to do now??! Go back to the 2009 records and change them so that your stock count is tally ar??!!!!

Him: (I loosely quote) -evil smirk- I cannot tell you to do things like that wan. You think for yourself and read my mind. See I waste so many time to explain to you so that we can be on the same frequency…

Note that I wore a totally aghast face when he said that, and I still feel totally OMG over this.

3. He sucks at communicating, and I have prove. I saw him talking to the receptionist so I asked them, “What did he say?” and they said, “I dunno… Something about tea lady lar”. I found out later he was looking for the tea lady. How can he screw up such a simple question is beyond my reasoning.

4. I have to do his monthly report which is fine cos well he’s DA boss, but when I asked him how to do it, he said, “I dunno wor… Go ask the executive lar…” How can a manager not know how to do his own montlhy report is beyond my reasoning too…

5. Apparently we should not waste 3 cents to photostat a piece of paper cos that is sooooooooooo costly and the company will bankrupt if I do so more that 3 times a day. He lectured me about this 3 times throughout my 2 months there. I have heavy suspicions that he thinks his yearly bonus will increase if he helps the company save more money.

~WOOHOO my bonus is 21 cents more cos Adelene did not photostat 7 pieces of paper. Job well done Adelene! We made the right decision in hiring you.~

6. He is a show off bastard who said, all this paper work is so easy only. Then he screw up over a request form and I had to explain English to him so that he will sign the damn paper.

Note that he tried to cover his ass (save his face) when I explain English to him and he finally understand the paper, and by extension me (OMG finally!), by saying the people who fill in this form never write properly lor.

And I shoot him back, “If I can understand!!! So should YOU!”

He totally shut up. That was so satisfactory.

7. He is coward who is brave enough to order me to do his report but not brave enough to rush me to finish it.

He will walk around to my place on the pretense of photostating something (I sit right beside the photostat machine) and “casually” ask, “So are you done with the report?”

And because I’m pissed I harshly said, “NO!” and he said oh ok and scurried away. Like a damn dog with his tail between his legs.

Note that this happened more than once in a day.

8. He is so nosy over what other department request that he actually thinks he has the authority to undermine the Director and Executive Directors approval for said department to buy whatever the hell they want.

9. He never protects his own employees. We are cannon fodder in his eyes. Whenever there is trouble, we shall be fed to the sharks and he shall be saved.

Like that time when he suddenly, kacau nia, went over to the Finance department, talked to their boss and make me take over finance people job. His reason is finance boss said so. I threw a tantrum and he totally suddenly said, “Is our HOD said one. You must do.”

So I grit my teeth and hissed out, “Your head, just now you said finance boss! Since when is our HOD involved in this??!!!”

He totally winced and scampered. Then later my HOD told me that, there was a misunderstanding between him and the finance boss. So I have to do what I have to do and not do finance people job.

10. He screamed at me today so I yelled back full force. Gosh that was satisfactory too.

~Contents of our yelling match + some background explanation.~

I quit my job. Instead of giving the normal 24 hours notice I decided to be kind and gave a 3 days notice which should be more than enough to do stock check, clearance, handover and exit interview. But noooooooooooooooooo… He had to wait till my last day after 3 to do the above things. Which ended up with me going back today to do the stupid exit interview with him. There we several problem with my leaving.

1. A 1GB DDR2 RAM was missing. (He wants to pin this on me and deduct my salary.)

2. There is an extra PC set. ( I want to pin this on him and make him pay me the PC’s cost which is RM2000)

3.I haven finish exit interview.

4. I haven do handover.

So today I went and see him to kau tim the above. We started to go though the exit interview when he saw my colleague leaving so he ask my colleague to stay back to do the stock check with me. But my colleague gave some reason and left before my stupid boss can do anything.

I’ve already spent a few hours in that store room checking the stock prior to my leaving and rechecking it will change nothing so I told him I will not go in with him to check the stupid fucking stock again.

He was like you must!

And I was like NO.

YES!

NO!

YES!!

NO!!

YES!!!

NO!!!

Then he started screaming at me, ( I saw through his intimidation plan) I forgot what he said but I will not be cowed by him so I yelled back.

I told him I gave him 3 days and 3 days is more than enough to do whatever he wanted to do and he never did anything except ask me why I wanted to resign.

We yelled summore but I can’t really remember what we said except that he suddenly shouted, “DON’T YOU DARE RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME”

And I bellowed back, “YOU!!!!! ARE THE ONE WHO STARTED THE SHOUTING”

and he totally shrank back and said, “Sit.” I bellowed again, “WHATEVER FOR??!!”

he said, “To continue the interview”

So I sat and we went through the stupid exit interview. During the whole interview the few issues we discussed are,

1. He says he respect me and expect everything to be fine so he did not think (He never thinks. This is a common occurrence) to do the stock check earlier.

I said this is not about respect. This is about formality. It is a MUST to do the stock check. So DO it.

2. He said he did not do the stock check earlier because he expected me to stay after our ‘little’ chat.

I said, here is where you DON’T respect me. You expect me to be some bimbo girl that like oh I wan resign hehe and then boss give candy. OK I dun wan resign liau… lalalala

GO DIE. I made a decision and that decision is final! GODDAMNIT!

3. He kept asking me to clarify the missing stuff.

I said, how many times must I tell you I honestly do not know what happened!

~ Draft of email

——–

Firstly, I apologize, to you HOD, for making a scene. Secondly, since I was asked to clarify about the missing 1GB DDR2 RAM I shall do it in black and white, for I noticed that notes were not taken during my interview with (BOSS).
By memory I remember nothing about allocating any RAM from the store, save the one to replace the wrongly bought DDR2 RAM for Procurement Dept’s Jane Chang. I did allocate one 1GB DDR2 RAM, but it was not from the store. In fact I myself processed the request to purchase that particular RAM.
I did not knowingly remove the RAM from the store either.
Based on the tracking list, which I checked thoroughly after we discover that the RAM was missing, no such RAM was was allocated from the store. I can honestly declare that I have no idea what happened to the missing 1GB DDR2 RAM.
I also declare formally that I did not take it for my own nor did I aid anyone in doing so.
I will not point fingers at anyone regarding this issue. I sincerely hope that, as basic courtesy, no one will accuse me for doing something that I did not do.
Find solid proof before you report this to Finance.

———

Ok that is basically my explanation to him for like several times and he still insist I clarity.

In the end I totally beh tahan d, I asked him, “For curiosities sake, WHAT the hell do you want me to say in order for you not to cut my salary? Do you want me to accuse someone perhaps? Point my fat fingers at you? Because other then me you are the one who has the key to the storeroom.”

And he scrambled to said NO! but I ignore him and continued. “So tell me, what can I say? What do you WANT me to say??!”

His answer totally has nothing to do with my question.

“I am not in a high enough position to not cut your salary.”

I said, “Bullshit! If you can decide to cut my salary you can decide not too!”

And then he has the audacity to change the subject and ask me about the extra PC.

So I said to him, “YOU! are asking me about that! You dare to ask me about that?! So what are you planning to do? Give me RM2000 for the extra PC that suddenly appear? Is that it??!”

The answer is of course no but gosh! May I kick him in the nuts??

GOSH I SO TOTALLY HATE HIM! GRAH!
