Dear Diary: ww18.5

Got the required data ready, will try to retain the 1 headcount I am suppose to cut. If the answer is a big NO, then I am sorry… :(
I just want you to know I have tried my best. I did not mean for this to happen.

I want you to know, it doesn’t matter…
Where we take this road, someone’s gotta go…

Walked to pasar malam upon returning from work, bought some food that will make me put on extra pounds. But what the hell, life is short.

Monday is a rest day, replacement holiday for Labor's Day!!

Dear Diary: ww18.4

Attended a day of training – Paradigm Shift: Customer Service in the New Era, it was alright I guess. What did I learn? Don’t ask me. Lunch was on the house.

More nonsense in the news, what more can I expect?

Just another typical day. I am a simple person living a simple life.

Planning to go for a cruise, a cruise to no where for 1 night only. If it works out, will bring some tidbits and a few good books onboard. I do not gamble, thus it will be a time to just sit back and relax. Thinking of getting a room with a window at least…

Dear Dairy: ww18.3

It has been a while since I wrote anything, besides the e-mails at work of course.

Work has been busy lately, with requests flying here and there. A lot of work which may not be visible to others, but they are certainly there. My vision turns blur every single day staring at the computer, especially in the afternoon. Sometimes I multitask too much and the computer slows down to a halt, other times I automatically freeze for seconds to recompose my thoughts… Dear computer, I know you are old and tired but please run FASTER!!

2 headcounts have been cut from the team and workload for everyone has been increasing. The team needs to breath too, but that is not happening too much thanks to the genius plan of others. I have expressed my opinion that changes in business model are important, but please do not redirect the workload, that is not problem solving. I have been fire fighting picking up after you, so I will truly appreciate if you can implement whatever we have agreed upon ages ago. I have done my part, now please do yours. Whatever that happens after that, I will take further actions. Excuse me Sir, I have a question… do you think it is feasible to cut another headcount? I might not agree but I will do as you wish.

A fluorescent tube above my cubicle went out with a bang today, but it did not shatter. It did not bother me much because it was a child’s play compared to Malaysian news. You forked out tax payer’s money for rebuilding a school, saying that BN will not sideline the Chinese community. The amount should have been channeled for the purpose long before the by-election, but it was not… I am not saying out loud that it’s a form of bribery, I think that it is. Using the tax payer’s money in the name of BN, where is your integrity? You can because you have access, others cannot simply because they do not. It is not that they are unwilling to help, but rather their hands are tied behind their backs. Fellow Malaysians, please stop and ponder… we will benefit if we give the government an overhaul. If you are not happy with the results, change your votes in the next election!

So many deceits and puppet shows in the media. The innocent died without fulfilling their purposes. Truth has been spray painted over with lies. Fairness manipulated via monetary gains. Justice controlled by the powerful. This is the world we live in today, and are participants in the game whether we like it or not. I am one, I cannot do everything but I can do something. If each of us do something, at least that can be part of everything though small. In unity lies power, and power brings changes.

Change for better a life, for freedom, for a better future, and most of all for humanity.
