debating-something rare!

salam....

i had a mouthful discussion last nite. rasa berapi telinga pun ada. i spoke to a friend - LLB. he's good at talking and he reads well too, which makes me feel very stupid at times when talking to him. like i mentioned to tatot last nite, he always starts his conversations with;

"do you know that....." with excitements in his calm voice. how is that possible? he did it anyway. hahaha.... he even knows there are three levels of dozing off for cats. kira kalau dah masuk level 3, kucing tu dah tido nyenyak la kan. adeh la! level 1, kira tido-tido ayam. kucing, tido ayam?urgh!*pening*

but anyway, i was rambling about my boss being stupid*our bosses are all stupid, except for capt danny aka mr macho..hikhikhik...* and i was furious at him for quite some time. it's bloody difficult when someone that you talk to is basically 'bodoh sombong'. and we talked and discussed about working culture and so forth. tiba-tiba he talked about orang melayu. he goes;

"you know what. this is what i feel la. no offense, tapi i tengok la kan, orang kita(read : orang melayu) ni, they spend time more time playing around, not doing their job and in the end, satu kerja pun tak siap..."

i was like,"heh? tak semua kot yang macam tu. ada yang betul-betul dedicated.."

"yeah but most of them macam tu. i tak tahu lah kan coz i prefer berkerja dengan chinese or indians. they get their jobs done..."

"i have worked with a chinese boss dulu and now, my superior pun melayu. we work out stuff just fine. kerja jalan. maybe they have different ways of working tapi, setakat ni, what i see is, kerja siap. that's important no matter what race pun...right?"

"yeah but malays have this working ethic which they prefer to sit and do work, diorang takmo explore.."

cop.iklan.he's malay.

so i continued;

"i agree. ethics. bukan bangsa yang jadi issue. ini semua terpulang pada diri sendiri. untuk kita sendiri maju. by the way, you pernah kerja in a majority malay workers punya environment ke?"

"tak pernah..."

"aah...then you can't really say ler LLB. you gotta experience it yourself. an organization tu macam a big chain, rantaian manusia yang buat kerja as a team. kalau one of those chains rosak, maka rosaklah organization tu. kalau ada yang tak betul, tak betul lah. tak penting 'chain' dari mana, keturunan apa. it's what the 'chain' contributed to the organization so it would be stronger. i don't know...that's what i feel la...coz you can't really say melayu is like this and that. it's not fair, don't you think?"

"hmm...."

cekya terasa jugak because i am malay, obviously. i have to admit, apa yang dia cakap tu, ada betulnya. tak ada sesiapa yang sempurna, tapi nih semua soal attittude. soal ethics. the way your work. the way you get your job done. kalau dah 3 bulan bagi peluang to get ready ms tatot's trip to hong kong, itu adalah terlampau. right, tot? bukan sebab keturunan dan bangsa.

satu saja : kenapa perlu lihat saja yang negatif, sedangkan kita perlu berusaha untuk memperbaiki yang negatif. takkanlah, tak ada satu pun yang positif. sad, but true.

and today, someone has beautifully pissed me off. i was updating some company info and i called the company's secretary-CS*she's a little bitchy lately, since dapat title CS nih*. i called her to get some info and this is what she said, in a disgusted voice;

"awak nak buat apa? saya busy la! tak ada masa!"

*gulp*

"ok. i'll just get the info from your assistant."

"ok"

so i called her assistant. we talked, asked her for some info, yadda..yadda..

tetiba, this VERY POLITE CS called me back and asked;

"why do you need the info?you wanna update the company info kan?"

sendiri tanya. sendiri jawab. purrrfect.

"bila dah siap, can you please print it out and give it to me. i'm afraid the numbers that you have are private lines."

"this is what the admin gave me. and this thing dah bertahun dah. didn't you notice about it before? benda dah lama ni."

"takpe. just print it out and give it to me."

click.

she was being grumpily busy and now, she wants the print out to check the contents that i was updating. duh! haper benda tu? what happen to the busy lady? suddenly so free, ah? eisk!

i just can't work with this kinda people. and these people, would ruin 'the chain'! i'm not perfect tapi i'm disappointed with certain people yang look down on other people's capability.

it's mean.
unquestionably mean.

till later guys. take care.
wassalam!
