Today, I got my 1st traffic summon since I work in KL I was caught not having my driving license with me. Why I don’t have the driving license with me? To know why, read on.. (Insert funny effects here… weird music.. flashback effects lol..cloud cloud….)

Yesterday, I went for CF (Certificate of Fitness) inspection for one of the project in Kota Kemuning. As usual, we (me, boss and another colleague) went to MBSA to fetch the officers in-charge. I went to MBSA by bike at 8am and waited for my boss and the officers. ( Inspection time will be at 8.30am as requested by the officer - when I called her on Friday to confirm the time, she asked to change the time from 9.30am to 8.30am because ‘Puasa lah,tak nak 9.30, panas..’) Guess what, the officer didn’t show up at 8.30am and when I called her, her assistant told me she’s having meeting and maybe the inspection time need to be rescheduled. (I couldn’t reach her, it was her assistant that answered the call) So we waited for a while, and when officers from other departments (For CF inspection, 4 departments will go and inspect - Building, Planning, Engineering and Landscape) showed their faces, we decided to go without that one officer.

1 hour later….

Done up the inspection, left only one department - the MIA officer. On the way to MBSA, admin from my office called, informing that the officer has called, asking us to fetch her for the inspection after other department done with their inspection. She wanted to do the inspection at 11am, (tak panas lagi ke?) if not, she will reject the CF application. (whoa..) So I rushed up to look for her after getting my visitor pass at the lobby counter. (Visitor need to deposit their IC or license or whatever identification to get the pass and yeahhh… I dropped my driving license at the counter..) Eheh..

Yeap, I forgot about my driving license until last night when I was about to take my shower I took out the visitor pass from my pocket.. lol lol .. So this morning when I was on my way to MBSA to retrieve my driving license, I get caught.. Cilaka betul.. Already before I planned to go MBSA, I was thinking like.. "hehe.. not so ’soi’ gua.. on the way kena saman." Hahaha.. really in bad luck..Still kena saman even after I told the officer I was on my way to take my driving license.. haih.. haih.. sigh…

Anyway, one question in my mind, why during these periods - fasting month, or near festive seasons, there are many roadblocks set up? Why not other time? Because this few days, I saw quite a lot of roadblocks. On the way for CF inspection yesterday, saw one at the Kemuning Utama, few days back met one at Federal Highway motorcyle lane (opposite Avon), last week at motorcycle lane also near Sunway toll exit… Everywhere?!? Maybe a good sign.. more productive police force we have now (inspired by the 2006 Budget eh?)

1. I just received a sms from a uni friend, asking how is my life, how is the job bla bla stuffs.. She said she is quite busy with her job, especially for the past 2 weeks. So she work OT for the past 2 weeks, everyday until 11pm.. Tired, but learn a lot..

2. I called another uni friend yesterday, we chatted, updating ourselves on each other latest developments (lol this sounds so gheyish), and naturally I asked him about his working life. So I heard another story that another friend seems like very the super busy, because he always do OT until 1am-2am!! I was like.. wtf?

Two examples on how some of my uni friends are doing in their working life. It seems like lots of them love to do OT! Working overtime.. So why this OT culture? I personally prefer not to do OT. I feel that, doing OT is a waste of time, waste of energy, it basically shows that you are not efficient in managing your working time. Why? Because, doing OT shows that you need more time to get a job done. Maybe some of us even think that doing OT = hardworking = Boss love me = $$$ :D Lol, I even heard some of my friends doing OT because they can get extra allowance, dinner coupons.. That’s the most farkish, pathetic thing to do in my humble opinion.. So you basically doing OT so you can save for dinner?!!? Come on.. Get a life.. (Er I didn’t say that in front of her..) The answer that I get most of the time when I ask why they do OT is because, everybody is doing it. Their seniors, colleagues… Ahah, If they eat shit for dinner, will you do that too? (I didn’t ask her that too :D)

Why I think OT is not relevant and should not be practiced as a working culture.

- Not productive. Working longer hours make us less productive.. try it, working straight 12 hours, the results usually very crappy (Maybe it’s only me haha! Others maybe have ultra-man or gaban power to do their job, even working for 15-20 hours Salute the zombies..)

- If I am the boss, I think you are wasting my money. I pay you to work for 8 hours a day, so get the job done in 8 hours, if not come back tomorrow, finish it. Staying back, I need to pay for the extra electricity you use. Oh yea, I need to pay for your dinner coupon too. (Hahahaha!) Em, some bosses do give unrealistic deadline for the job to be finished, eventually we have no choice but to do OT. I experienced this few times (sorry boss if you read this.. which I bet you wont :D) Gave me the thing on Friday, want it on Monday morning… .. .. ..  But, unless your boss is farking unreasonable, he wont torture you like that..(I have nothing to say lah if your boss is some kind of undead or bloodsucker vampire type tyhat have nothing better to do but to squeeeze you dry, drained and limp -haha, this sounds so wrong… :D ) Once or twice.. or few times in a month, is quite reasonable, but not every farking day ask you to do OT. Better quit the job or you will definitely end up looking like 40 years old man when you are only 30… Pathetic heh?

-Boring. Imagine you work from 9am- 5pm5 or 8.30am- 5.30pm (like me), pack your thing back at 6pm (reasonable lah, you need so punctual 5.30 go back meh??), travel back home 30-45 mins (if you are lucky, not traffic jam), arrive at home let say 7pm, take a bath 15-30 mins (depends on how long you wash your precious body :D ), take dinner another 30-45 mins, so you can only settle down, relax at around 9-9.30pm.. lepak lepak, read newspaper.. hug your gf, or your dog or your pillow for those dont have gf, time passed.. and it’s bed time, 11-12 pm. Imagine doing this for the rest of your 30-40 years life…Omaigoottt!! I have no life! That’s for ‘normal’ people. How bout those do OT until 11pm -1-2am? Cant imagine..Assuming average life span = 60 years. We spend about 1/3 of our life studying, 1/3 of our life sleeping (yeah.. 6-8 hours a day, roughly there lah.. or maybe more), and the rest working our head off… Great!!! what the purpose in our life then? (Now I sounded so boring.. keh keh keh..)

Aduh this is getting longer.. I better stop here 1st.. continue some other time.. sleepy shiet.. J

Just few comments of what was happening for the past week in the parliment.

- It is dishearthening to see certain parties make such a fuss over their MPs who supported the motion by the parties which are not within their coalition. And yet we so proud of our own brand of democracy…. sighz…

- I think our MPs should learn how to put their efforts and time debating on more important issues, not on issues like how to sing Negaraku in a proper way, polygamy.. bla bla..

- I read with disgust some ministers comments when issues that required honest answers and transparency was brought up. Take for example the haze issue, or more recently on dengue, when asked, the standard answer by the minister will alway be "We dont want to scare the tourists away, giving out the statistic will give bad impression… bla bla bla… ‘ Wadafak!? They are supposed to care for the people in the country, not outsiders, not some tourists who ’spend their money once or twice or maybe if they are richer or nothing better to do, another few more times visiting Malaysia’ but i damn sure and i bet my 20cents it wont be more than the time and money that us citizen spend here. We are the taxpayers, and we demand honest and good answer. Why the hell they care so much about the reputation of the country? A fake reputation somemore.. bah! It is not like we can keep quiet about the matter, oh so then the tourists will happily come here and will not know about it.. It is better for them be informed before they come here for holidays than they know it only when they already here.. If the latter happens, that will really give bad impression of how transparent and honest our country is..
