Small Talk : I know, again I change my theme. I can’t help it

The turban (from Persian دلبند or دولبند, dulband via the Turkish tülbent) is a headdress consisting of a long scarf-like single piece of cloth wound round the head or an inner hat.

In a short, it’s a piece of clothe wrapped up around your head.

The men of many Islamic cultures have worn or wear a headdress of some sort that may be considered a turban. Islam however does not require any sort of head wrap or headdress except for a woman’s headscarf. Head wraps that men wear are called several names and worn in different ways dependent on region and culture. Examples include Umamah (Arabic: عمامة) in Arabic, and dastār (Persian: دستار) in Persian.

And now

Helmet is a type of protective headgear used by motorcycle riders. The primary goal of a motorcycle helmet is motorcycle safety - to protect the rider’s head during impact, thus preventing or reducing head injury or saving the rider’s life. Some helmets provide additional conveniences, such as ventilation, face shields, ear protection, intercom etc.

A question has arisen in the small town of Kota Bharu whether it is an offence to wear the “serban” instead of helmets according to The Star and I find that it is rather amusing how people would think twice whether it is good or not to wear “serban” on the road. I am truly impressed by the shallowness and the short mindedness of these people who think it is ok to do so.

And the way that the State police chief Senior Asst Commissioner is dealing with it is for me far from pleasing because this is just some things that you actually do not have to take a lot of time to think whether it is right or wrong or the ban should be imposed or not. I do not think that you need to interprate the fucking traffic ordinance or whatsoever and to have it studied from A-Z whether it is right or not you fucking dickhead.

Personally for me there should not be a question whether to wear or not to wear because it is all about safety. If you think that your “serban” can save you from cracking your skull, go ahead!

I’m so wronged, fucked up and overrated …

I had quite a rough day at work; workloads now piling because when my colleague was on leave everything was handed to me and you and I know how fucked up life can be when you got a whole-fuckin-lotta work to do and it really doesn’t help when you have a dickhead that knows nothing in your office and yet he sit in a big air conditioned room minding only his own fuckin business. How I wish he fuckin bloats full of worms and infectious maggots feasting on his fucking rotten and swelling intestines! Oh, God I don’t need all these! To hell with it!

Insane am I the only motherfucker with the brain?

Trying to get everything done so that I can go on leave as a happy person - stress free!

In the meantime, I’m indulging myself with new release from Sevendust - The Past. Now you guys might not have heard of Sevendust before but I’m here to tell you that this band rocks like hell! Now this number is for all of you, The Past - Sevendust Feat Chris Daughtry. Enjoy and I’ll be seeing you guys in Miri.

One of the days either you would hate or love at the same time, Fridays. For some people it’s the joyous day of the week because it’s the last working day of the week and after work they can party, partying the night out hard and also maybe trying to score with some chicks. For some it’s a day where you can just relax and not to think about work too much. For people in my line, we fuckin’ hate Fridays - No disrespect beause it’s a Holy day. It is simply because it would be one of the busiest day of the week for us.

Why? I tell you why :

1. More cheques
This is the day where yo would probably received damn lotsa cheques. There will be hundreds of cheques to be sent out for clearing and also there will be tons of house cheque to be keyed in. A lot of house cheque means a lot of work, a lot of balancing to do. It is simple, just key in and that’s it but bear in mind if you have hundreds of easy thing, it can be heavy too and for that reason, I hate Fridays.

2. More enchashment / Deposit
The busier you get the higher possibility that you will make mistakes. Thank God I’ve not made any so far. Something I just hate about some people is that their stubborness. They some how just don’t trust the CDMs. For one stupid reason that they always give is that :

I want to seemy money going in physically

I was like, waddafuck is this? Isn’t that machine is created for your convenient-sake? Change! This is the 20th century, people don’t live in caves anymore. Wake up and keep up with the pace. It’s not an excuse. Learn! That’s why God gave us brain - for us to think and to develope ourself. In that way we can upgrade ourself to be a better person.

3. ATM job
Friday means we have make sure that there will be enuff money for Saturday and Sunday. Usually on any other day RM300,000 will be replenish into the two ATMs that we have but for Fridays I have to put in RM600,000. Yeah, we got machine to count, we don’t count by hand but still it make our life much much not easier, get it?

4. Payday Blues
E-Payment, E-salary and having the branch under-staffed, there’s just not enough time to do it all. I only have to hands. I can’t do everything at one shot. I wish I could. This is the day where I’ll be handed damn lotsa diskettes, which I hate. It’s nothing complicated but it gets complicated when you hand me diskettes that are not accessible, damaged and empty. Please, the cut off time is at 5.00 pm okay? Don’t make my life hard.

All of this will ake me go back late. If I’m late I can’t go to gym, I can’t go out partying like the rest and I definitey need lotsa rest over the weekend. Another thing is that I’m not eligible for overtime and yet I’m doing overtime for free at the moment. It makes matters worst when you hae an asshole as your BSM. An asshole who knows nothing but to nag nag nag and nag at you, doing nothing to improve the situation. To the management, YOU SUCK BIG TIME YOU FUCKING CHINAMAN MINDED DICKHEADS!

I was particularly, extremely upset with the manner that Malaysia Airlines (MAS) was handling my case. I booked a ticket online from KL-Miri last two weeks. Something happened along the way, the payment didn’t go through. So, I thought everything was not through and so I said to myself that it’s okay. I’ll try some other time. I really wanted that seat because it would cost me only RM240.00 which is actually very cheap for MAS. A few moments after that, there’s this one lady from reservation called me up saying that they’ve received my booking but not the payment. So, I asked the lady …

“So how can we go about this?”

“Give me your credit card details”

And so there I go, I gave her my credit card details and she said I will be receiving an email from them after 2 days. I was wondering why two days and not in another 2 minutes? So I thought, maybe MAS procedure is like that. Since it’s the biggest airlines in Malaysia I guess they do things differently. I do understand that every organizations have their own way of going out and about when it comes to handling customer or the term that I would like to use - operations.

So I waited …

2nd day …

No news

4th day

No news

7th day ..

No news

So I called the reservation

I kept on getting put on hold by the bloody answering machine…

So, yesterday I went to MAS counter at KL Sentral. I asked the person in charge to check on the status of my booking. He keyed in all the data and came back to me saying that there was no booking made. You know how frustrating can that be?

And how could the reservations department got my booking but the operations don’t have it? And how could all these possibly be? I was annoyed. Really annoyed. So I asked the the fella, I know he knows nothing about it.

“How could this be?”

His answer is simple,

“I don’t know”

You know how stupid is that answer?

“How could the reservation department got my booking but you don’t have it in the system? How do you actually run the whole system? Why is it not tele? I came all the way here from home and the best answer that you can provide me is you don’t know?”

He just smiled and told me,

“I’m afraid that you have to make a new booking altogether”

New booking your ass. You know how much the differences? RM618 for a re-booking. Do you think I’m crazy? No, I’m not you dickhead! I walked away from that counter - annoyed, feeling like killing people. MAS sucks donkey’s c**k big time!

MAS - Mana Ada Sistem company.

I straight away asked Lily to get me a ticket online from Air Asia, I got it for RM295. But it’s worth it I tell you, because they don’t waste my time like MAS did. I start to wonder what kinda of a system that they’re using? Oh, wait a minute, it is damn obvious! They are using the most efficient and kick ass system in the world - Mana Ada System? (MAS).

Simple things like this MAS cannot do it right, how to make it big? In any organization, the most important thing is to make your customers happy, forget about having this and that shits. Make them happy, and they will spread the good words for you and you are on your way to 7th heaven. Congratulation, MAS is on the right path to success.

I’ll rest my case.
