Ditegur Pun Tak Boleh~

If u ask me, I'm a very big fan of Bureaucracy...yes yes...call me a little 'leceh' and old-fashion but actually, the bureaucracy helps you in many ways. When each thing we do, whcih is the formal business, bureaucracy will help you when things went bad...That particular letters or any memos will sort like bail you out...Orang Melayu cakap "ada hitam-putih"...see?

But now, many people lambast the bureaucracy system, like the system that work so well for the past hundreds years or so is having it flaws, a big one. It's like a big hole in a parachute, not helping at all should they say. The problem is not with the system. In France, where the bureaucracy originated the things go very, very well even sometimes people will ask the government worker if the particular letters are having a slightest part missing.

I'm a big fan of the system, it always bail me out when I'm in trouble and it will do it for you. In Malaysia the problem is also not the system, but the people. By the people i mean all of us, no matter if you are government worker or not. We all have our own faults, just bloody admit it. The problem with the government agencies, particularly, is their workers...from the lowest to the highest of the rank.

This is my own encounter with Malaysian Goverment agency, called Universiti Malaysia Sabah. I went to the library to search for some journals. As so, i went to the counter to ask for the cubicle room key...As i write down my name and matrix no., the clerk on-duty ask me very rudely to put the date on it, not just and us-side down '=' mark. I suggested to the clerk that every new day, she put at the beginning of the list, the date for that particular day so all the student will never have to put down the date again, just their name and matrix number...two things that different from one another.

But then, the exchange of 'punch' began...Here's what I remember.

me: "Kan bagus kalo dah di tulis tarikh kat atas ni, same je tarikh untuk hari ni kan?"

the bitch: "uina, ko ingat saya ni kuli ko ka? bnda kecil pon ndak mau tulis betul2"

me: "saya cadangkan aje, tak nak ikut xpe. Lagi pn cik kan main YM je kat kaunter ni, takda keje nak buat"

the bitch: "ko ni mau jadi bos saya ka ha?! mau suru2 org pula"

me: "WOI! ko xpaham ke mangkuk?! dah la gemuk, cakap orang paksa2 plak..aku cakap aku cadangkan aje...Ko tau ka aku sapa ha?!"

the bitch: "~"

me: "buang masa siak begaduh dgn kau, mari sni kunci!"

The rest is history...so, do u got my point? the problem is not the system but the people conducting it and using it..Me also at fault, after give it a thought the date is the smallest of the info-piece, why i should bother?

We're all humans, but that doesnt mean we can do same mistakes all over again...the system is there, respect it and use and also work with it...

senang cerita macam ni la...

For the past few weeks or so, some of my friends asked me about the world economic collapse. Some turn to me on what they should be worried of a.k.a the backlash from this state of economic panic throughout the world right now, and how does it happen at the first place.

Well, I'm not an economic expert but "senang cerita macam ni la"...

Most of the financial powerhouses are American companies. When I say American, the companies are owned by Americans, based in America and most of the transactions are made in USD (United States Dollar)...These companies like Lehman Brothers, Merill Lynch, AIG to name a few make most of their profits from speculation markets, barely translates as 'make the money out of nothing'...

What does 'make money out of nothing' means? Well, the simplest analogy is like this. You have RM15, and one of your friend told you that you should buy a particular 'nombor ekor' because it will come out tomorrow as a first prize...you buy it based on that speculation, a ticket cost you RM5...and unfortunately you lost, because the number didn't even came out on the next day paper. Your friend come to you again, doing the same thing, with your reaction is also the same, and the aftermath is also the same...repeat that for 500 times, which means by that time you are owing someone else's money...until you couldn't repay it, because the total amount is out of your payable range...As so, you'll be declared as a Bankrupt person.

Imagine 'you' as a biggest investment operator in the world, with the stakes of gamble is bigger than any other company in the world...That company would be declared as bankrupt as well...

As these financial powerhouses collapsed, other financing parties will make their loans or credit terms and conditions stricter than ever to prevent other investment companies from 'suka-suka je nak loan'...thus the term 'credit crunch' is used...

These conventional financial system is always vulnerable to these risks, but their margin of profits is also very high. But now, it is downtrend which means most of the high-stakes shares or currency are not performing well, and most of the investment house is full of debt because of this downtrend.

Does this America financial collapse will effect us badly? My answer is definite YES. Do you still remember 1997 Asia Economic Crisis? well, this time around it will be even worse than that...Even though our government said that it would affect us that much, but believe me...It is.

Americas' government have forked out USD 700 billion (that is seven hundred thousand million) to help those ailing financial and investment powerhouses from collapsing. Their bankruptcy will further deteriorate the financial state in America particularly and also the world as a whole.

Why was that? Why all the world feel the heat? Well, most of the foreign transaction between countries and also multinational companies are made in USD. Most of the countries in the world also have USD as their majority foreign reserves, rather than evergreen gold bar. Basically, the USD is the currency of the world and when it is 'shaky', all the world will tremble.

So, my opinion is...1.start saving, 2.Work Hard, 3. Don't accept VSS (skim berhenti kerja sukarela) and put up a fight, 4.If you are looking for jobs, work with the government agencies, and finally 5.be frugal in your expenditure...

It may help...fingers crossed.

everybody...yeah~

huh, it's been a while since the last post...biasak lahh~ raya, what do you expect? a pot-belly, 2-8kg gains which means a kilo lost during ramadan doesn't helping at all. not me, but someone else's...me, i gain a small amount of f*cking 10-kilo...what~...yes yes...it's "ramadan aftershock syndrome". You know, you didnt felt that 'hungry', but you still wanna chew something edible...a moron said that because i found 'the one', i'm happier thus i ate a lot...what a stupendous accusations that one, if it's true, maybe i'm the fattest man the world have ever see...

no...i'm not that happy or something. But, i feel blessed everytime i'm in a relationship. i'm not that good-looking, nor that rich...but maybe it's something else that matter that make women attracted to me...

just wanna say that although i'm busy right now with assignments and thesis and final exam, i'm working on a book (yeah, i'm so serious about writing i give it a try)...let's just say it's semi-fictional book which most of the events are based on the true stories...picture it as 'sex and the city' meet 'friends' meet 'scrubs'...no 'grey anatomy' or 'private practice' here...

based on 4 person, 4 different life and perspective, in a one heluva city...my inspiration, YOU ARE!
