Intern #2

It's been a while since I last rant on Intern #2..

So on average, he's been absent from work without reason, without informing anyone about one day a week.. so far he has been missing-in-action for 4 random days..

Twice, I caught him slacking and taking tea breaks at the coffeeshop downstairs during office hours.. It's one thing to ask for permission to go out and get food if one is hungry during working hours, that is almost always allowed because we are all humans.. It's another thing altogether to just go missing and nobody knows anything about it..

I caught him not once but twice.. and he has no good reasons for it.. So to save myself the sanity, I noted that down in his attendance sheet..

You think that's it?

He is late to work everyday anyway.. coming in 30 mins to an hour late each day.. Once in a while we can understand if there's genuine reasons to be late, but consistently every day late is habitual and not coincidental, so it's no longer excusable..

One day he left early at 5.45pm, again, just coolly packed his bag and walked out.. Nobody knows where is he going, nobody knows why he's leaving early, as his supervisor, he doesn't even bother to at least tell me he's leaving..

I looked on as he walked out of the office.. and all of us were wondering and puzzled.. only to have him return 5 minutes later and shoving his attendance sheet to me and ask me to sign it..

I was like, "what the hell you think you're doing? Leaving and coming back ask me to sign your attendance sheet?"

I refused and I told him I am not going to sign it, and boldly strike off the false timing he wrote and wrote down the actual time he left.. I told him to get the head of department to sign..

He's been up with the HR once and still not smart enough to pack his shit together..

I'm like okay fine, to which I agreed to let him go and transfer him out to other department and just do clerical works such as filing, stamping, packing, photocopying etc..

It is in fact what he's good for.. He can't even do his work right and my team has to go through his work and redo everything.. this is a price-sensitive industry, one wrong price and customer will hold us by the edge of the knife demanding we honour it.. and that is something I cannot afford to have happened..

I've already disabled his access into the system because I did not want him to touch anything more.. I have enough of him..

Dawning of the dirtiest general election ever

It's inevitable.. Soon Malaysia is going to the polls again, the 14th general election.. come what may, we all know it will go down in history as the dirtiest election ever..

Each one of you has a vote, but not each vote has the same weightage.. Your vote can worth as little as 1/7 of someone's vote.. In other words, it takes SEVEN of you to equal ONE vote of someone..

Hence, it is ever more so much more urgent and important that no one boycotts this election and no one spoil his/her vote..

If I ever hear you saying you are not voting or spoiling your vote, I'm sorry - we cannot be friends and I mean it when I say I will unfriend you.. 

If I can fly back to KL to vote despite the expensive flight tickets even if it's just a day trip, I will fly back and cast my vote (my voting area is here in Petaling Jaya), so why can't you do the same?

Are you happy that you, your children, your grandchildren, your greatgrandchildren, your greatgreatgrandchildren are going to pay for the debts the chao ahpek created? Think, that's if if the country still exist or still sovereign by then..

The Gay Guide 101

Over the years I am glad this blog (and the older version) has been the hobby of many of you, reading and what not... That makes me really happy..

I know my blog has many part of your growing-up years way before the age of Facebook, Twitter and the rest.. I am glad my blog kept you company.. I am glad my blog did help you open up and accept yourself as a gay person..

There's really no shame in being gay, you just need to learn to accept yourself.. and then everything else become easier..

In fact, I started writing when I moved to Singapore, that was in 2003 just out of boredom and to keep myself busy.. Looking back , that's 15 years of writing on blogger..

But as technology takes over and people don't blog anymore, I am still writing, albeit much lesser nowadays.. And I also don't really post up hot guys photos like I used to to avoid risking being flagged by Google once again.. but maybe once in a while, I might just post one or two hehehe...

These days, it's either about my life, ranting and bitching about people like I've always used to.. or just writing about my travels..

Can I get a shoutout from whoever is still reading? Leave a comment, I will respond to each individually!

I promise :)

The "big" move

Well, some of you may have heard (by some, I mean close friends), that I'll be relocating temporary up north.. I won't call it relocation but that's what it is, moving across cities..

I will be heading north this week and will be based there for 7 weeks or until further notice.. that's part 1...for a total of 47 days.. and later in July, it's part 2 which consists of 2-3 weeks up until my mid-year holidays..

First part of the stint is the brought-forward MITM fair which will be held in SPICE Arena, and then Monday onwards I will be working from the Penang office..

Being away from KL for this long, I've got to do some planning.. first up was to freeze my gym membership, but they only allow freeze by month.. and need to pay a freeze fee! So I decided to just freeze for April only, because freezing half month in May means have to pay half month membership pro-rata PLUS freeze free! Might as well, don't, cos it doesn't make much sense seeing I won't be able to save that much anyway..

Next up is to plan my stay, like finding a gym there.. Luckily I found a coupon for Orient Fitness in Gurney Paragon for one-month access, that should cover for April, but for May I will need to find something.. like a shophouse gym for pay per entry kinda thing..

Anyone of you have any suggestions?

I could go swimming but I can only do that on weekends and not on daily basis..

But perhaps the best part is, I am close to the beach! I mean I could just take a drive up to Batu Feringghi after work or on weekends and just chill, so who's keen to join me?
