Back to here

So its back to working at the primary office, which means 8 to 5 in a zombie like quiet but deadly environment where the only salvation for an ounce of life would be the short trip to the pantry to make coffee.No Im not complaining about work,I always believed that nothing comes for free in life, a philosophy thought to me by our very own Sami vellu.Once,when asked about the constant rising of toll prices by reporters,he  said "Ini dunia apa pun tada percuma,ama kasi lahir juga percuma".Wise words indeed.

Anyways,back to my story, yeah,Im not complaining about work,I believe in putting in your best,and thinking on how to put your best so that it benefits your company and you.Its the office environment which is straining to my head, a quiet environment where everybody seems to be hard at work,sitting at their desks,dwindling with their pens,thinking of what best to do after work today.yup,most employees cant be forced.A work environment like this is not healthy.This situation explains why most Japanese companies make you sing and dance to a Japanese exercise song in the morning,no matter how weird that might look.It is healthy.

I think the short trip to the pantry to make coffee will not be able to give my head a break from the work.Its not that I dont want to work,its just that I dont want to work continously without a break for 4hours.I dont operate at optimum level at this conditions but what the heck,neither is my father the director or Im striking the 4D any time soon.So I guess I dont really have a choice, will just have to suck it up,adjust and adopt to this new environment and keep on working hard.Gambate!!

Adios my amigos,I will return to talk more cock if I get stressed.Have a dreat gay everybody.

The Malaysian Flag

Where have you seen the Malaysian flag last?

Infact, how often do you see a Malaysian flag or any sort of symbols depicting the 'Jalur Gemilang'?

If you say offices,schools or any other offices,I find that flag rising hardly to be attributed to individuals who want to fly them or merely have to raise them due to circumstances.I am a Malaysian, who have lived in Malaysia for 24 years before moving abroad to work in Qatar for the last 10 months, forget Malaysia for a moment. I live with quite a number of Malaysians and I would say Doha has a sizeable amount of Malaysians, enough to have our very own Malaysian restaurant, 'Sri Kebaya'.

Enough to suggest that being far away and constantly missing our motherland, we would fly the flag as a symbol of pride.But seriously, nobody does.Nobody.None.Zip,Zilch,Null.Zero.As in I have not seen a single Malaysian flag except that time we went to the Moto GP and some guys brought the flag in support of our Malaysian rider.Other than that,not a single flag. And I cant simply figure out why.Earlier, I saw a Thailand flag flying proud at my work site, and to think there are only a handful of Thai nationals here,it is quite a shameful reminder to the kind of Malaysians we might be.

Back to Malaysia, I would not ask how often we fly the Malaysian flag and most answers would come back, we do mahh,u never see ahh, merdeka day time lohh....on top my house antena got, on my car hood oso got, that time malaysia play football against Indonesia aso i got carry to Bukit Jalil..

Is that once a year,hype of flying the Jalur Gemilang coz its fancy and posting on facebook about how awesome ur country is,and happy bday Malaysia enough? Its like every year, Malaysians go into August with a big sense of Malaysian pride,mainly fueled by Petronas sentimental adverts and repeat of Sudirman's Tanggal 31 song. 

And what happens next?

What happens on the 1st of September?

On the 1st of every year, every Malaysian stops being Malaysian till the next August coz Cuti Merdeka sudah habis lah,esok kene balik kerje kind of attitude happens.Where is the sense of nationalism in us? Where is the pride and love for our country? Hasnt singing or in some cases, lip snycing the Negeraku every Monday's morning assembly at school done nothing to instill national pride in the minds and hearts of young Malaysians.

It is indeed very shameful to admit and accept the truth that unlike the Germans who pride their flag at every job site, location they work or live, we Malaysians don't even do it in our own Tanah tumpahku.

Before I can point fingers to others, I accept that I have not been loyal and flying the flag but to fix things, I just printed the Malaysian flag, I am going to stick it at the back of my safety helmet and to my beloved mother land, Malaysia.Here's some respect for you!

Yes...how in the hell...

Updates

And I am back.

Its been months since I left blogging, work and personal life had kept me occupied.A lot has happened in the past 5 months and a lot has changed too, working life has sub-consciously crept into my head and got me thinking about the more serious things in life.In all, what has happened has made a more serious man out of me and drawn out a mentally tougher character.Has been a roller coaster ride.

I finally took a vacation back in June and went to Europe for a trip, or was it heaven, can't decide.Nearly got a tattoo but didn't instead got a lip piercing.And had a heck of a good time.Ill upload the photos and write about my travels later on.

In terms of family and friends,I've been blessed by the Gods with the best a man can have and recently went back home to Malaysia for holidays and had the time of my life.Got back to Qatar on the 1st of September,without any sign of my luggage, respectfully lost by the incompetent staff of Biman Bangladesh (more on them to come) and its all work work work since then.

Celebrated my 25th birthday in the desert,with nothing much but another working day but that didn't stop people back home,mom dad brothers sisters friends love from showing their love.The day wasn't really any different till they made the difference.

On a non me-related matter,the English and European league started back in July and thank the Gods for creating the beautiful game, keeps me occupied most of my time here.United has started out slow,defensively incapable in an other wise perfect squad.More to write about football as well.

I guess that is all the updates for now.Thanks for reading and I'l be back with more stuff,articles and pictures., meanwhile here's a pic of a potato for you.
