I have a close friend that's very kind and doesnt have any problem financially. I've known him almost 20+ years and we've gone through hell and high water together. But, there is one thing that bothers me about this guy ; whatever bad things happen to him, he would just stay quite.. but, would vent out his anger on me. Well, not hitting or blaming me, but telling me about it. Here's a simple scenario that happens almost everyday to him :

Me and him in his car, going back to his house, when suddenly we saw a car blocking his driveway.

Me : "oh, it's your brother's car."

Him : "yeah. i'm really pissed. he always park his car infront of the driveway, and ofcourse i cant park inside. [insert really lame choice of profanity here]"

Me : "so, why dont you just go in and scold him then?"

Him : "nah. just let him be. i dont want any rucus. i'll park near your house then."

Me : "..........."


This is one situation of what i call ; chicken shit. You are REALLY mad! But you just keep it in your heart. Sure, that would make the other person happy and keep doing his kiasu attitude on you. BUT. It would eventually destroy you ; mentally. (and make me sick of hearing this kind of thing everyday from him..."my brother is kiasu but i'm not gonna say anything ...yada yada yada, or my dad pampers my little brother too much but i'm not gonna say anything..yada yada yada). That's not the healthy way of anger management. If you're not pleased of something, you should tell it to that person.

You can start by saying something like, "Can you please move your car, i need to park inside. Please dont do it again bcoz it's annoying." It's that simple. And believe me, it's effective.

Any other ways that you would like to share? Post them up. :)


*kiasu : "i dont care about other people" attitude


Awesome Link For Today : I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

Yup. I was away for about 10 days and worked as a temp for Saba Islamic Media, over at PWTC. It was such a nightmare actually bcoz of the dusts from the book. I suffered a major pimple break (i have extreme allergy to dusts), body aches (doctor had specifically told me not to lift any heavy objects) and stupid customers (that's normal).




It was all right i guess. The floor managers were cool. The provided food was a-okay. I even managed to sneaked out few times for quick cigarette puffs :p

The 'office hour' was basically 9am - 10pm, and every morning i felt like my body was cursing every second. But it's a memorable experience :)

Despite all that, i have few gripes that maybe someday the management should look into.


1) No dinner : They do provide lunch but unfortunately no dinner. Given the fact that we have to work until 10pm with no dinner would actually spell trouble next time. I would suggest that they provide the staff dinner around 6pm so that they would get energy to give the company profit. Duh. That's the point, right? Profit. Give them energy, see them smile, count the money.

2) Worthless staff : I would like to say nice job to all you who had given all to attend to customers eventho you guys were damn tired and hungry. The temp staff were attentive and hardworking :) ...i wish i could say the same for Saba's own staff. I could point atleast 2 people who literally 'just stand there and do nothing'. My opinion didnt go to waste as to quote Brother Abdullah during the time we were at the headquarters to unload the boxes from the lorry, "Staff kita sendiri yang tak boleh diharap." ("We can't rely on our own staff")

3) Rude PWTC security guards : The closing time was at 10pm..for THE CUSTOMERS AND PATRONS, moron. So next time dont whistle those people to get out. Where's the courtesy? Where's the manners? And after that, atleast give us like 15minutes to cleanup. Geez. My father is a security guard as well (for like 25+ years, with perfect attendance, with zero medical leave. try to beat that, asshole.).







Oh yeah, in other news; i still havent got any reply or call from NST..which really sad. Time to recover back my pimple-ridden face... :(
