Tale of a king

I have a friend who knows this guy who has a friend who knows this guy – let’s call him Raja.

Raja is an ordinary guy in his 30s, he smokes and drinks just like most of us and he works for the family business. Long story short Raja is just like any dude that we brush shoulder with in the street everyday, but there is one thing special about Raja that makes him different from most of us. He is from a wealthy family.

For a guys who is in his 30s Raja is quite new in the courtship game, he have never really go after any girls before as he need not to do so. Contrarily to his lack of good looks he is constantly surrounded by lady companion. So the story about Raja begins with a gold digger.

According to urban legend, the last lady companion that Raja had is a gold digger. She made him spend more than 50 grand on her in their 2nd month of relationship which included a branded watch start with letter R amongst other expensive stuffs.  This to Raja who is loaded with $$ is not an issue at all and this GD is not very smart. Apparently she did not know about the Chinese saying – to fish for a big fish you need to be patience! the wake up call for Raja is when the GD ask him to buy a 700 grand condo for her even before they talk about settling down together.

So recently Raja had ditched the gold digger, now he is looking for girls who are sincere and like him for himself and not because of his wealth. This shouldn’t be too hard as i believe there are many girls out there that are sincere.

Still there are still few things that i keep on thinking …………….

1. I can’t deny the fact that the gold digger is the bad one but Raja have himself to blame as well. Why would he choose a girl who go after his $$ in the first place? Love is blind? perhaps ……………….or because of stupidity?
2. Gold diggers , irregardless they are male or female don’t they have some basic moral values? How do they live life like this?
3. Can Raja find a girl who is truly sincere? that his wealth will not be a consideration at all?

3rd November 2009

Today mark the official last day of my employement with the current company.

It’s a day to be remembered.

我是小败犬

近来 “老姑婆”有了新的代名词， 那就是 -  败犬。 根据百度百科“败犬”一词源自日本是形容年过30， 高收入、高学历、事业成功，但无感情归宿的女性。

即将踏入30大关 （哎呀泄漏了女人的秘密）的我也勾的上败犬的边缘了，只能说边缘因为我没有高收入和高学历，有的是刚起步的事业。不过我这个“小败犬” 的感情生活近来引来了无数的关照， 严格来说不止近来而是一直以来都有人有意无意的探测消息。

从我踏入适婚年龄开始， 就有人说要介绍另一半跟我。 当然这当中不乏只闻楼梯响，不见人下来和信口开河的，他们纯粹就为了炒气氛 （这包括了我的姐妹淘） 。也试过有邻居上门为儿子探听消息的（常常在我家附近遛狗而看上我哈哈）。 也有邻居带男生杀上门说要介绍给我的 （搞得我只能躲在房里2个小时，当时吓死了）。当然也有很认真的帮我筛选然后安排“相亲”的。

加上不久前去了一趟联谊会，身边的人就更加高度关注我的生活动静。方圆500里内只要有雄性动物靠近我，她们的雷达就会马上被启动然后向我投来爱的关注。加上身边的好友纷纷踏上结婚的列车，结果我的“小败犬”身份更让她们唾弃 （讲到好像都点严重呗）。

这也造就了她们更积极的帮我摆脱“小败犬”的身份。可是我最讨厌就是一谈到单身就说：我认识一位男士。。。（省略300个形容词）介绍给你认识。  就存脆说说好玩炒炒气氛然后不了了之。 常常把这句话挂嘴边很好玩吗？ 没诚意就别开口。要不然就是：我认识一位男士很有钱。。。（省略300个形容词）介绍给你认识。拜托！我是 “败金女” 不是 “拜金女”，这其中要分清楚。 对，经济独立很重要可是如果开口闭口都是钱那也太伤感情了吧？可为啥就是没人说：我认识一位帅哥，介绍你认识！虽然我不是美女，可我就是喜欢帅哥啊！不行吗？

虽然我是小败犬，可我因该还有一点点挑选的权利吧？（虽然美慧常常恐吓我：还选！还选！过几年连街口卖猪肉的你都要嫁啦） 不是我眼角高，而至少也因该选个合拍和合眼缘的吧。 不要只因为我单身就把单身的雄性动物往我身上推。如果连你自己也看不上的就不要介绍给他人，听过己所不欲，勿施于人吧？

虽然他们的好意我应该心领，可有时真的令我无语。所以奉劝天下的part time 月老们，要嘛就认认真真的做，要嘛就不要提。

广东人有一句话：唔做媒人三代好！（这其中一定有他的理由）

Flashback

I’m leaving my current company after working here for 3.5 years. It’s my longest job till date. 3.5 years is not a long time but I guess it is long enough for me to be with this company. It’s time to move on with my career life.

I am excited and happy to move on but as a human being I do felt heavy hearted despite everything. I have my happy and sad moments in this company. I have leant a lot from this company, not only about job experience but also about life. 

The biggest gain? I would say is lesson in human relationship. I have met all sort of human being in this company that I think I will not meet some where else. They are so unique that I can even write a book if I have to tell each of every one of them in details. I have met people who had broke my trust, spirit and confidence; I also meet people who are truly nice to me. But I guess they are the one who add colors to my life and taught me lessons in life. Of course it doesn’t mean i will not fall for lies anymore but for sure I am more careful with people now.

I learn the hard way to realize that there are many type of human being and I have seen the ugly side of human nature. But then this also the place where I found a true friend, a friend that is truthful and sincere.

Milestones achieved during the pass 3.5 years:

I got my first promotion and first pay raise in this company, I still keep the photo copy of my first pay check after the salary increment! (Yah my last 2 job got no promotion or increment, sad ler?)

I got my first car and learn to drive. (yah i know it’s a bit late for my age)

I gain blardy 7 kgs in weight #$^%#$^@! (i need to loose weight stat)

I found a true friend! (bestest thing that happened)

Right words right time !

I am leaving my current company to pursue a new job soon. Despite I am happy that I am moving forward in my career but I can’t help but be nervous and scared at the same time.

The idea of changing  environment always scares the hell out of me, guess I am the type of person who are comfortable with things that I am familiar with. I get a great sense of secure when I am surrounded by things that I know.

Changing new job of course have its benefits such as the extra money, the 20 days annual leave…. yoohoo , new people  and new challenges but at the same time it bring pressure as well. I can’t help but keep thinking on a lot of WHAT IF?

What of they think I am not good?

What if they have high expectation on me and I can’t perform?

What if they don’t like me?

I have told a couple of friends about my mixed feeling. Some take it lightly and say this is normal. Most give supportive comments but one actually stands out among the rest.

He said: Well, it’s normal to feel pressured. You are there to contribute instead of to learn right? So they of course have expectation on you.

Yah, they hired me because I have something to contribute to them and that is exactly what I am going to do. To do my best and contribute my experience that I have gain in this industry to them !

The whole thing seems less scary now

我的难姐难妹

通常我是那个被留下来的， 可这次我却是离开的那个。

我是说我的工作啦！

在这个公司三年半，挥别了无数的同事 （真的是无数喔）其中有些是跟我比较好的就令我很难过，有些的离去对我来说无关痛痒，甚至到后来根本就麻木了。

三年半不算长的时间， 不过我毕竟是血肉之躯，不舍的感觉多多少少还是有的。 其中最舍不得的是我的死党皆好友 – 美慧。 虽然我们认识的日记不是很久可是我们可说是一对香味相投的“难姐难妹”哦。

我们那么click和最大原因应开是我们俩都很 – 废和无聊！我们两个每天可以很自娱娱人的编无聊的故事然后就笑到无力。

想到以后不能常常见面就很难过， 虽然新公司只不过五分钟步行的距离可是一定会不一样毕竟现在我们每天见面8个小时而以后最多每星期见个两三次。能够在尔虞我诈的职场上认识真心的朋友毕竟是非常稀有的事情。 希望我们的友情能够经得起时间和距离的考验！

我离开后，

谁说冷笑话给她听？（害她常常有乌鸦飞过头）

谁泡咖啡给她喝？（虽然每次都嫌咖啡不够热）

谁听她诉苦？（通常都是被逼听）

谁跟她一起迷恋帅哥？（每次都跟我争）

谁陪她一起唾弃老板 （如果被发现我们人头不保）

谁陪她讲无聊/黄色笑话 （黄色笑话都是她将我听因为我单纯哦）

我离开后，

谁来娱乐我？（虽然每次有意无意笑我矮）

谁分一半早餐给我？（害我减肥失败）

谁来给我打气？（至少说的都是真心话）

谁陪我度过低潮？（害她也低落）

谁会听我的冷笑话？（至少她听的懂）

谁陪我看韩片？（真的是“韩”啦）

Lion Queen …

I need a new hair stylist stat!

You know you need a new one when your view and her/his view no longer inline with each other.
I am so gonna have bad hair days permenantly for the next few months until i have save enough $$ to visit a salon again.
Till then i will be Ms. Lion Queen , DARN !

To go fast or to go slow?

My driving experience is pretty short, it’s only slightly more than 2 years (in view I’m in my late 20s). But i must say i am kind an impatient when it come to driving.

My pet peeve would be i hate it when people drive at 60kmp – 80 kmp on the middle lane on a high way. It’s not so bad if the road is clear, but it really get under my skin when its a working morning where traffic is heavy.

Imagine this, a car in front of you going at 60kmp with no car in front of it. Behind you is a long queue and the car on the right lane is speeding like F1 racing circuit which make my little Viva incompatible for that kind of speed.

Yah, i know that speed is within the law and the person have not done anything wrong but can’t they be more considerate and move to the left lane?

Over the weekend i met with J & B. We talked about the driving habits of Malaysian and i told them about this. We have some interesting conversation about it.

B: What is your speed driving on the middle lane?

Edel: 100kmp – 110kmp lor.

B: why do you have to driving so fast on the middle lane?

J: cos her car cannot fight those on the right lane ma…….. hahahahha

Edel: yah yah, J really know me, if  I’m driving a BMW then i will always on the right lane!

B: you are rushing is it?

Edel: no ar……..

B: why do you have to drive so fast when you can go slow?

Edel: why do you have to go slow when you can go fast?

Hmmm……………… this is like the chicken and egg question.

p/s: B is a save driver, he is so relax when it come to driving and i hardly see him speeding.

Mom’s Birthday!

Celebreated mom’s birthday last friday. Bought her a huge cake, well it is huge for just 4 person as she wants to give some to the neighbour.
