Office Chaos.

Accounted few times in reading I have done this vastly but surely growing topic has been something that I observed for the past one year of me being a career guy. I have worked in few different environments for the past one year and encountered many incidents in this working world.

Let me brief you through with the Office Chaos that I went through.

My first step of career world started in a construction company in quite small town. Biggest problem with the company is the management and how they manage it. Surprising as it is, there is no proper way of management and I was simply multi-tasking the job of a receptionist, accountant and also an engineer. Result is unknown! Why? It's a pandemonium environment! I end up leaving the job and stay at home. (Seems to be being unemployed is less troublesome rather than being in a mayhem environment! .)

After a month of unemployment, I went on with a better engineering job than the first one at one MNC company. Everything is good here in terms of management but what spoils it, is the colleague there! I was like being placed in Mars. Not being discriminative but I was placed among Chinese speaking Chinese. To my dismay I was the one and only non-Chinese around! Result is being unemployed after four days at work, because I was having mental torture of not speaking to anyone around. (Again I feel it's better to stop the mental torture rather than changing into wacko)

Next stop is a total different field of work than my qualification. Provided with my communication skill I bagged the work of being a Lecturer cum Trainer at another MNC company. Giving training on management courses was not an easy task but I enjoyed doing it. But I end up resigning from the job for the top management attitude of not meeting the deadlines properly and being a pain for all the employees! (Long story on the employer, and loads of personal matter involved! Damn he!)

And now currently I am again in a MNC company and I constantly find myself in a dilemma of higher management constantly engaging in power clash! (Almost like Clash of the Titans) Supervisor A gives work to Supervisor B's team and keep on pestering for work to be done, and leaving the Supervisor's A team left without any work. Supervisor B tries to take revenge and bring up the matter and there you go, a grouping unofficially! Team Pro-A and Team Pro-B! Guess that it's a never ending story!

For some it may be very normal and lame scenario day in and day out! But for those who is going to step their foot to working world, Welcome to the Who Will Survive Here reality game show! Hypocrisy is the trick to win the game! Play your cards well and I am sure you will be liked by everyone.

p / s: No particular people is been pin-point but as long as there is office politics there will be bedlam!

~Glee and Bliss~

Looking at all the bedtime stories I have read and even normal novels that I lay my eyes on, it’s a known fact that everything finishes with a happy ending. But is this for real? Is there such happy ending in our current life? Happy-ending seems to be far-fetched when we look back to what is happening around us day in and day out.

Apparently, from what I know contentment is very subjective! There is no exact measurement for joy, but it’s all about how one accepts the bliss that shines upon them. As for me, I think my life is full with glee and I am always delighted with what I have in life! Of course, there will be complaints arise at times, but its matter of getting over with the phase.

At times I do ponder and get myself stuck with all those sad moments that I went through. Those were the days that taught me a lot of impossible to become more possible and I manage to get through all the obstacles with much faith on the Three-Lettered-Guy and personas around me. During my bad times, I am sure that I will get the support that I need from my family and friends. Never once I was left alone in the process of me to be a better man.

I always thank God for giving me such a loving family and also understanding friends. Life itself has been my greatest guru and I always cherish the moments that I go through. We can’t guarantee a smooth sailing in an open sea, but as long as you can, you wish that you have the sufficient strength and also the courage to overcome the impediments ahead.

Probably it’s time for me to thank those wonderful people in my life as I am happy to be with them and I have never failed to make those people comprehend that I appreciate their presence in the part and parcel of my life. Indeed, God do answers to prayers said, and it’s a proven scenario in my life. Love the friends that I have around and also my family who has been my backbone for who I am today.

I am what I am today, is all because of all of you!

Absurd?!

Smooth sailing is what usually a captain of a boat wishes for, but journey made is not easy since there are rough waters to beat down the calm waters! Tidal waves keep on hitting the one lonely boat that sails in the middle of nowhere! The boat lost its balance and everything goes haywire. The captain is held only to his faith to maneuver the boat back to the calmness it was travelling, but since this is not the first tidal wave hits the boat, the captain losses his patience. Patience is virtue but in this case patience has been a big thing to settle down with. What happens next is still a big question mark, but as long as I know, the captain needs to survive. I know he will!

How nice if life is as the picture above? Calm and smooth all the way!

But its only picture perfect!

regards!

Controversial but Comprehendible!

For all I know, I am still skeptical on the matter I wanted to post this time. It may contradict with others. As for me, it is becoming more and more norm scenario and in-thing for current life. With much courage collected, let me bring to you, the topic of this entry.

SEX!

What? Sex? Oh my, we are not allowed to speak this in public? No way I am going to speak about this? Are you nuts?

These are some of the mockery that people use every time the topic is being raised. But why is it so? I am still vague on this. Of all I know, since small I have known the topic sex or even talking about sexual agendas has been a taboo in Malaysia! Lame as it may sound, the more people hide it, the more will be self-revealed!

As we are moving towards the technology era, I think, this isn’t becoming anymore forbidden-state of topic to be discussed. Sexuality is becoming more and more hard stuff to decide for. I have seen many incidents, or come to hear about people having hard time to reveal their self. Let’s not talk about the western culture, but being in Malaysia, I have seen vast incidents related to the topic being discussed here.

Homosexual (this includes gays, lesbians and bisexuals) and Transgender is a daily scene nowadays. Seriously speaking, I have nothing against them and I don’t discriminate people for their choice and preference in life. But for some, this clan has been a disgrace for the society. As far as I know, this people never had harmed anyone in particular. Apparently, due to normal people like us, they had to hide the true identity and live in hypocrisy. My sympathy goes to them who still need to hide in their closet on their sexuality.

The media, especially some movies produced nowadays to bring this back-alley-society to the day light just to show them that its okay to be what they are. For instance, the movie broke back mountain showcases two guys passionately kisses each other had been a controversial movie yet. (I came to know the existence of the movie in one of the publication of The Star two months ago). Besides that, the production of Bollywood and Kollywood has been venturing into bringing this people out of the closets in their recent production of Dostana and also Goa. Salute to those producers who dare enough to produce the life of this people and make us together laugh rather than getting disgusted with it.

When actually Malaysians can be really open towards sexuality and sex related topic? After such a big fuss over sex education at school, apparently it is been getting positive comments on its relatedness to educating people regarding sex. This sex education reminds me of incident back when I was in secondary school, where form three science is the first step of learning on reproductive system. All my male classmates took the initiative of approaching our science teacher, Ms. Salmah to ask question related to sex! Being a mother of 4 sons, she took a deep breath and said its time for her to learn how to adapt to this kind of question and started explaining for each question being asked. Kudos to her, for taking a big leap and come out of her comfort zone and teach us.

Its time for all this to be a normal thing in our daily routine and chores but don’t get the picture wrong. I didn’t mean that this is something that everyone should practice but just give a look on what is actually happening around us. These people who have had sexuality problem needs attention to be given not being peculated about. After all they are also human and they have feelings. Stop discriminating and let’s not cross the borders of their path. As I always say, Love all Serve all!

p/s: Controversial topic as I said, and I speculate there will be a lot of speculation regarding the topic and also the writer itself! As I said, its still a taboo to talk about this and the person who talks about this get labeled! Sigh!
