Human Tetris
Thursday, April 3, 2008
I realised I have not been updating this blog as frequent as I used to but don't worry you readers would still be reading interesting stuff from me.

I'm updating this during my lunch hours. I was just naughty. I have been looking up for information on Eiji Wentz - again. And I stumbled on a funny Japanese gameshow. It was so hilarious that my laughter infected my colleague in front of me and now she's laughing at the program on youtube. There's a few funny ones but I will only show you the most funny ones.

I want *censored*!!!
Monday, March 31, 2008
Ok ... jolenesiah definitely thought the censored part would be Orochimaru or Eiji Wentz from WaT but unfortunately it's neither. It's not related at all.

I have been listening to a lot of Japanese songs recently that prompt me to do some search on some artists like Namie Amuro's profile at Wikipedia. Gosh ... I'm so turning into some japanese music vampire except I'm a vegan.

Today I got toxicated with this Japanese group called Perfume. I listened to their songs earlier but they were not catchy enough for my ears so I just sidelined them but not after watching their live performances on youtube. Their performances are just amazing because I seriously think their dances are soooo cool. Those moves are swift and I felt my body in the office moving according to those moves. And listening to their songs for the third and fourth time... I realised their songs are unique itself since it's techno and they are good choices for dances. And thank god! I didn't delete their songs from my laptop!! I'm so in love with their songs now... that's because I love their dances. The dance moves look so futuristic and their apparels should be futuristic designs too since their songs are techno... I can't really evaluate their singing quality because their voices are digitalised but one of the members have this moe voice [sharp pitch voices that tend to make girls sound cute]. Another incredible fact about them is they started out an informal group together when they were just 11-12 years old until today. Wow. What dedication.

I hope you guys enjoy their dances too. In the first video, I think they really sang because the record and the live is quite different. The live has more energy zest like they were putting all their happy chirpy mood into the singing. Or maybe not... never mind .. as long their dances are cool.

Buy me a partner
Sunday, March 30, 2008
It was kind of funny to recall my conversation with my colleagues from last Thursday over lunch time. I was telling my colleagues that I'm going to Penang next month for a vacation and we were exchanging stories of the food revolving our growing up times. It was actually nostalgic... Imagine the food you used to eat as a kid is no longer sold when you are older because the producer must have closed their business for good or just passed away.

So I was telling them that I'm having headache of buying gifts from Penang for some friends in Kuala Lumpur. But because I was speaking in Malay... I accidentally said 'beli buah hati' instead of 'beli buah tangan'. For you all who don't know Malay language, buah hati and buah tangan might look they have the same meaning but then don't be fooled by it; they meant extremely differently. And so the office was roared with laughter. Man ...

Ok ... buah hati means partner as in girlfriend and boyfriend while buah tangan means gifts. So I had said "I need to buy some girlfriends/boyfriends for my friends" instead of "buying gifts." Gosh how embarassing was that. My Malay language teacher who is still alive would have died on the spot listening to that.

Gosh ... worm worm ... you must be very desperate for a girlfriend Penang-mari o [hails from Penang]?!

Resoluved
Thursday, March 27, 2008
I managed to solve the problem with my colleague [read previous entry].

It was not pleasant at the beginning because she was telling me how she works when I hinted your table is a little 'hard to read' and then she was flaming unconsciously about how tedious my table is and the worst thing she kept the most viable information from me: my boss likes reading data in table format. I almost strangle her in a cool manner when I heard that. I was just wondering why the heck she didn't tell me yesterday when I showed her my sample. And she really think I would let two kinds of format for my boss to read. Ha. Ha. She just didn't know I'm the next Wu Ze Tian in real life.

I approached her in the morning telling her - I mean business - we are going to combine our information as an end-product and demanded to see her table. I look at the table and was about to tell her 'Hey you know what I modified the table, why don't you tell me what ya think?" she was already criticizing my table [read the above]. I just kept quiet and listened to her droning that she will only perfects the table when she finishes inputing all data and trying to sell her idea that her table style is the "best in the market". I folded the paper of my new table and walked back to my table and designed my own table. And I seeked second opinion from Jolenesiah.

I actually didn't feel insulted or hurt but I just find the way she explained herself is really bullshit. When you show your incomplete work to a partner, of course, try explaining what would it be like when you finally finish and ask your partner for opinions because that's what called teamwork. And I don't like people giving me bullshit about how bad is other people's work when you are not giving constructing opinions on improving it. I want to hear and know why, how and what we can do to improve; not listening to you saying how noxious my work is.

She took a look at my table because I asked her to and finally she agreed that my table is easier to read. I released my breath out loud silently. And I told her off my way of working is to envision how I want my work to be and think FIRST how I want to interpret the data unlike you. And then laterI found out her table was 'so like that' because she didn't know how to interpret the data so she just input the data just because she didn't want to waste time. I shot her back "THEN WHY CONTINUE?" I just didn't add "It would just be a waste of time if you don't know how to interpret in the first place".

Oh well, we are all good now. That's the most important thing. I'm very relieved that I don't need to bring up this petty issue to my boss; it would just be my weakness. And thank god for giving me the wisdom for the table 'coz I got a vision of the table while chanting this morning.

Renaye!! Ganbatte kicking her ass ne!!

Do you speak my wavelength?
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I officially got an assignment from my boss which was specifically forwarded to me. It's very rare for my junior boss and say "Can I speak to renaye?" I was so shocked when I got the call from her. I usually jumped on the end of the phone because I thought my internet surfing got busted since I checked out on manga, anime, and hang out at forums everyday .. and what's more I did download some songs. Oops.

Today I partnered myself with another colleague who being yawning "This is so BORING" to do the assignment with me. The whole day she was repeating she didn't get what's the assignment about and I was elated to get the assignment... and so I worked on it. And seriously after I did a sample... I regretted for my actions because ....

At the beginning...

We were dicussing how do we want to interpret the data into the A4 paper and somehow I gave her a rough idea and I was suggesting we should put some pictures too because boss likes pictures and she went 'HUH, for what?' Ok. Fair enough. Then I suggested we should include some geography pictures and then she became irritated, tsktsk. Ok ok fair enough because I thought boss wanted those info for some analysis so pictures are not important. But wait a minute .. we do have geography politics....

Never mind. I draw out some plans about how I wanted to interpret the data and she said she understood. I also suggested that we should include header too to make it look neat and easier to differentiate information but she kept on going 'Huh? For what???!!! Later someone will make noise.' And I know who but then it's for boss not personal, so it's ok. But then I felt irritated because I want to make it look neat. I'm a freaking perfectionist person. So I suggested let's type first and let junior boss to see if that's what big boss wanted. We agreed.

We were typing and I peeped on her work and at the sight of it, I hated it. She made it into tables and it was messy; there was no bold, italic whatsoever to differentiate the location and the numbers; and the most important the years since we are working on 2 years's data. I went to print mine and show her how I did it. I told this is what I did: the data is not in table form but easy to read because of ample space and NEAT. She flashed me a disliking face and said "I cannot do this format because it gives me headache." It was not showing her for fun I was expecting her to do the same since our information will be combined at the end of the day and it's my assignment. I became reclusive after what she said because I was mad and I don't want my emotions to control me, and I know her damn temper. She got into a brief quarrel with a former colleague when he was just trying to hint to stop the bullying from another colleague. Isn't that stupid?

I dreaded to see her work tomorrow because it's not what I wanted and I don't want to tell her that the work is not neat and it's hard to read. And she copied me doing all those italics thingy after looking at my sample.

I'm going to let boss to see my work but I don't want to ask boss which format he prefers because it will show my weakness in leading a group. But at the same time I don't want to be a 'bitch' but what's there to be a bitch if I'm just telling her about her work. Yea... this is about a different topic: about why some people can't prepare a neat work even their language sucks especially punctuations.

I will just prepare myself for whatever may happen tomorrow. Worse come to worse, I will take on this assignment with my table lamp as my sole companion.
