Working Class Hero

Somber mood

2010-10-18T06:58:00.000-07:00

Rainy days are a part of our lives whether we like it or not, but for me these past few months have been more of a storm than normal everyday rain. I've failed a promotion interview, all paid for study opportunity, found out that i am not loved, and lose my calm in several occasions. That pretty much sums it all up..... I don't think my luck has gone any lower than this before... fack....fack...fack.... but looking at the bright side, when u hit rock bottom, the only other way is up right?

It's been more than a year since I've last logged anything on this blog and it was a sad event which compelled me to log in my sorrows here. The above mentioned date was a very dreadful one. I lost a cousin by relation, but always have and always will be a brother in my heart. I did loose a brother some 11 years ago and now i have to go through the pain all over again. The cheerful manner and nature of his personality will be sorely missed. Although some of the animals said bad things about him after his passing, he will never be bad in my books. It amazes me how people could be so insensitive and say things that only a brainless shithead would say to a father who've just lost a child. Have some compassion you bastards. The lost we as a family suffer is incomparable to your meager brainless thoughts. Stupid cunts, save your opinions for your own family's funeral. He has held his head high despite all the negative comments from people about how he lived his life instead of letting others put him down. He has his own thoughts, hope & dreams just like you and me. All i can say is we love you Ari, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers.....

Work ethics VS Dumbass

2009-03-12T08:01:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since i last wrote anything here or elsewhere for that matter... maybe i got whatchacall one of them writer's block.. the title of this entry should shed some light on the matter i wish to highlight... these past few weeks have been hectic.... daily efforts of meetings and shit to cover a certain company's big gun past mistake which came back biting everybody in the ass...all the credibility, integrity out the window. In the first place, this big gun a.k.a dumbass did not heed to all the warning given about the circumstances which could arise....from the stupid decisions being made....in an unethical way of conducting a certain job. This dumbass may not even know the meaning of work ethics.... a ridiculous paycheck doesn't seem to encourage this dumbass to use some or part of the brain in making decisions.... But i guess, the lure of stardom and global recognition have gotten the best of this piece of shit's judgement...nuff said...

All in all ....

2008-11-21T07:24:00.000-08:00

All in all, today have been a very stressful day plus barrages of bad news which involves money have been pounding me since morning,....the thought of chugging through the next month has been sending my mood down the drain... the story of my life... heartaches has been a part of me for as long as i can remember... a big FUCK to that. I guess i just have to find a better way to release steam.... the ones i have now is clearly not working.... Waking up daily thinking about ways to get me out of this shithole has taken its toll on my body and soul...mmmm i wonder what could i do to rejuvenate both of em' ... mmmmm all in all....

Long absence....

2008-11-20T22:56:00.000-08:00

It's been quite a while since my last posting... 4 weeks to be exact,sorry for that just been xtra occupied in my efforts to pay the bills come end of the month....(aren't everybody). I've been working in the same environment for the past 10 years..and have been thinking about taking a different career path for quite sometime..and have tried to do so via all my resources. Despite a cool environment, good boss, i'm still unhappy....i strongly believe it is due to the fact that i get paid peanuts. People use to say when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys, but in my organization i often find people who aren't getting peanuts for pay but are still monkeys... they say it's the same elsewhere but i can tell you these are a different breed of monkeys...that would surprise even the great ( late ) Steve Irwin. So i've made it my utmost priority to get out of this jungle asap.....via getting a new job, hopefully with no peanuts for pay.......

The Office

2008-10-15T21:44:00.000-07:00

Working in the same environment and with the same people for the past 10 years, i must say have created a unique relationship between all of us..(Nothing GAY here). It's something that don't come by overnight. Like what we all know, every rose has it's thorn... and just like my office, there are different type of characters which make up the masses. There are the show-offs dudes, ass-kissing dudes, party-pooper dudes, by the book dudes, gamer dudes, horny dudes, multi level marketing dudes, government project dudes, food dudes, smoker dudes and last but not least, me. I could fit in any one of the above category...depending on the circumstances. These characters make the workplace a more bearable place to be..so to speak. So....why don't you tell us a bit about the characters at your workplace........

Friendship highway

2008-10-09T20:55:00.000-07:00

This morning was somewhat an uneventful one till i got a call from someone who i have not been talking to for quite sometime...it's all this work related quarrels that put a halt to our, shall i say friendship... well i guess shit like this does happen once in a while... but you know what.. i'm a lover not a fighter..it may sound corny but that's just me. My temperament sometimes cloud my judgement up to point that i couldn't see something that is obvious... the workplace can be hell sometimes, especially if you're always backing down from potentially confrontational conversations with bosses and colleagues. All the hatred will then always explode in an unexpected manner witch sometimes even surprises yourself, to watch a situation degenerate right in front of your eyes. It's disheartening... but at the same time amazes me...

Birthday

2008-10-04T01:15:00.000-07:00

Well, the title says it all... today is indeed my birthday. I just can't remember the last time I celebrated my birthday.. maybe since i was 12 or sumthin...no big deal right.. but somehow this year being over my 20's and going on 30's seems to have a "feeling of being lonely effect" infact i am alone right now.....sad, sad bastard....it can't be male menopause right?..hihihi.. last year i did something for me and on my own.....self rewarding shit that i can't even remember now. This year however due to the "being broke after raya sindrom" i can't even reward myself with a pleasant dinner... well...so the story goes....

The aftermath

2008-10-04T01:07:00.000-07:00

It's been 2 days since i got back from the nest, and it's been a memorable eidul fitr,..despite being chocked up with the financial burden and missing my significant half seems to do little to dampen the celebrations....it is when you get back to your real world that it will start to take effect...the traffic was not too bad though. However, I did saw first hand how a car was overturn with the bloodied passengers still dangling motionless and being a Malaysian, had to slow down to look. Speed kills and we will never learn, we, meaning me included. Got into the office and logged in to my work e-mail and got shitloads of "work related" mail. Fark, here we go again.....

The Holidays

2008-09-28T07:20:00.000-07:00

Like all the working class heroes out there in Malaysia, I will be joining the masses to embark on the annual "Balik Kampong" rush. And together with all of them, will be worried about having enough funds to get through this month of festivities. I'll just be there for 3 days before heading back to the city. Although i won't be updating this blog for a few days, it'll give me ample time to gather new gossips, stories of survival etc. To all of my comrades, drive safely and loosen up your middle finger. Till then, here's to a Happy Eidul Fitr.....

More about me

2008-09-25T08:01:00.000-07:00

I was born 30 years ago in Alor Setar, Kedah. Being the second child of my working class hero parents. Went to school there, all in all a very happy childhood. I've started to notice the struggles for commoners to make ends meet since the early stages of my life...never thought much of it till it hit me in the face...some 15 years later...though most people would not like to talk about this subject, i find it interesting. Some of youse surely have gone through or been going through the struggles month in month out without complaining for years on end...but for me this is a medium for us to console each other so to speak... maybe in all this chaos we could find solace in each others comments or suggestions. Besides complaining and bitching about not earning enough money to go by, i also plan to blog about other things in life that's important to me at least, like food, job opportunities, my office, stupid politicians, sex etc....so ladies and gentleman, boys and girls...here it goes....

Debutant

2008-09-25T07:51:00.000-07:00
