Drama-rama. What an upsetting week it has been in office lately. Conflicts and friction amongst colleagues. endless bitching and backstabbing. cheating and hurting of feelings. why why why.. why can’t there be peace? why can’t everyone be neutral towards each other? i treat all my colleagues as friends except 1 or 2 who are basically neandertharls and every day when i look forward to go to camp, i want to see people, i want to see smiles, laughter and friends congregating, talking jokes and going to canteen breaks and just basically, having a wonderful time together.. somehow these weren’t happening the past few days, in fact, on a bigger picture, months already. in particular, i want to point out one issue here abt cheating. everyone knows it isn’t the right thing to do, but still there are some fuckers who exist and clearly, there’s one in my office. not surprising he’s being ostracised by many people in office for the character that he portrays and a fucked-up attitude he gives people. but fortunately, i haven’t come to have any conflicts with him and neither do i wish i have any in the next 10 mths or so. he respects me and i respect him. that’s all i care. and to me, he’s an acquaintant. no more than that. and for what he had done to my dear friend (you know who you are), it’s totally unforgivable.
you asked me what you should do about the whole incident. sorry i answered you “i don’t know”. i’m trying to help but at the same time, i have no right to interfere in your business. if you could solve it between you and him, then it’s a mutual settlement that i can be happy about. but now that things have changed, frankly speaking i kinda object to your decision to blow it up. but at the same time, i’m quite supportive of what you are doing. you are telling these cheaters that you are not to be trifled with. and remember my friend, being easily bullied does not necessarily mean you’re weak or anything… i can tell you i am easily bullied and manipulated and i get cheated at times too! people of our kind tend to be TOO NICE towards people that we don’t realise that there are cunning bastards out there trying to take advantage of you..
today saw yet another upsetting incident. boss was pissed when he saw one of my colleagues sleeping during office hours and heavily gave him 3 extras. at that time he was with a visitor so it’s understandable why boss did it. if the visitor has a higher appointment than my boss then how would it reflect on our office’s handling of discipline if this visitor tells it to a BIGGER boss? how would my boss answer then? oh well~..
on timmy. he’s such a nice boSS! i love him. though it isn’t quite ‘pleasant’ sniffing things under his armpit and seeing him digging his nose in front of me, he’s so much more approachable, helpful and easy-going compared to my previous boss. and erm i was quite taken aback when he asked me at X’s cubicle this morning,
timmy: what do you think of X?
me: erm.. why do you ask that sir?
timmy: no la juz jokin’.. cos anyway i’m going to ask him what he thinks of you too haha..
me: oh ok..
i was definitely hesistant about bitching behind X’s back. i didn’t answer him. but i did say, after a few seconds of pause, i just can’t work with him. it’s something about his working style i guess…
timmy: you tryin’ to say about his character?
me: guess so.. why sir do you ask? is it obvious to you that we can’t get along well?
timmy: YES! it’s so obvious. right from the start i came into office - the first few days i could see.. the body language, the ignoring, and all that..
me: ohh.. yes it’s true but i’m not asking you to judge him or anything based on what i said cos it’s not fair to him and to you, but i need to tell you the truth cos it’s gonna affect me greatly in our work.. so.. yea..
timmy: yea. fam told me all about it.
me: like~?
timmy: he told me to find out for myself..
me: oh ok.. but i guess it’s just me..
timmy: nono.. just curious.. what actually happened?
me: nothing really but on a few occasions, i get pissed by what he does. *tells him all about the chocolate incident*.
…
timmy: don’t worry i’m not biased towards anyone just wanna know you guys better..
me: okae =)
and finally my EHM is done! gawd.. it took like .. 8 times to make amendments.. EHM phobia -_-.
on a happier note, i went for a swim with leicester and ben. and i completed 10 laps = 20 breaths. and cool the pool’s 3m deep in the middle! did a few awesome attempts to touch the base and ended up ear pain lol. eh 10 laps leh.. give some applause man!! richie = 10 laps.. amazing!! wooHOO!!
all that, and still weighing a fucking 95 kg.
5 kg gain from the first day i stepped into office.
not anymore.. anthony made 1 BIG comment during afternoon’s tea break that kinda got me dazed and thinking…
“richie, doc kev and i were discussing yesterday and said that ah.. if you don’t have your tummy right, you would look perfect.. cos hor your body is proportionate already and you will look good lor if not for your tummy”..

“YOU WOULD LOOK PERFECT”

“no hahaha.. not perfect… you will look good.. good lar”
