This year is the 52 years of celebration. Hope our country move healthier in future.

I wonder why my July EPF deduction was only made on 10th of August.

Is my company paid late or there is something wrong in EPF system? Why I said so? This is because from the past few months transaction, all are made on the month of it suppose to pay, only my July payment made in August. Have you check on your statement recently?

Tonight cannot stay back in the office as we are informing that Rentokil (M) will conduct a sanitizing (disinfection) treatment (H1N1) this evening.

We are given instruction that must leave the office latest by 6:15pm. Laptop users are advice to take the laptop home or lock it in the drawer. No valuables keep in the office, must lock the drawer. Foods are not allowed to keep in the office. the final instruction given was to cover all desktop monitors and CPU with brown paper, but I cover it with newspaper.

This is what we meant by efficient. Company efficiency is appreciated. So tonight can to night market for ‘junk foods’.

Below are the most fashionable shoes from designers.

Some are too small. I think it does not suit fat people. So which one you will choose for yourself?

Today HR sent out an email and the email is as below.

Dear all,

Kindly take note that one of our colleagues, Harsh, has been identified and tested yesterday evening to having a strain of influenza that is a mild form of H1N1. The doctor has confirmed that the strain he has is not airborne, but may spread via fluids etc. He is being quarantined at home starting today.

The company has put the following precautionary measures in place:
• Arrangement for special disinfection cleaning for all Nielsen main office floors
• Continue to arrange for cleaners to use disinfectants’ during daily cleaning
• Continue to provide hand sanitizers at all office common areas, i.e. reception area, pantry and all meeting rooms
• Purchase of masks will be made. Once stocks are in, we will notify and you can collect from Admin.

All employees are requested to please note the following:
• Anyone who develops flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, cough, sore-throat, runny nose) should seek immediate medical attention and notify your Manager of your medical condition. Should there be any confirmed cases, please notify your Manager and HR immediately.
• Anyone who had been in close proximity with Harsh, please monitor your health closely for any symptoms. Should there be any, please seek immediate medical attention and get yourself tested for A(H1N1). Kindly notify your Manager and HR of your medical condition.
• Continue to practice good personal hygiene at all times.
• Those who have low immunity or in high-risk groups are advised to exercise greater preventive care. If self quarantine is required, please have a quick discussion with your Manager for work from home arrangement to minimize business disruption.

He is from 18th floor and is under client service team. After read this email, my colleague from 15th floor called me and tell me his floor is distributing mask to everyone. I am thinking, your job is QC, need to call to respondent, then how to talk if you are wearing mask?

Malaysia is out of control on this virus. Every day you can read new cases of H1N1 and the death number are increasing every day, share market drops but this increase.

My friend told me, his wife friend relative suspect infected H1N1 and went to Hospital in Sungai Buloh, quarantine there. After few days, he was “release” but few days later he passed away. So is the virus too powerful or during his stay in hospital is to quarantine from public and no medicine to cure it?

Anyway, be more caution and take care.

Monday, first day of the working week. I reached office at 9am and work until 5:20pm, received a call from friend asking me want to do part time or not. Part time, but misunderstood this, his part time is play “Lucky”. The time is 7pm.

I already packed rice for dinner with 2 fried chicken wings, fried egg and fried fish slice. I had the same meal in the afternoon, the total cost for it is RM7.30, is it cheap?

I received another call at 6:30pm from another “kaki” (snooker mate), he said he already reached and asked me where I am. I said on the way and actually I am lying down on the bed, relaxing.

I joined them at 7pm and you guess what played until what time. 4 of us played until 10pm and another guy joined us, these are the usual snooker mates. We played until 1:40am. The table money was about RM116. Phew, first time our table money exceeds RM100. My leg is tired during the play time, stand too long.

It is not over yet, because those who won money have to buy loser meals. This is our law. Winners treat loser meals so loser won’t feel so bad. They are 2 winners on yesterday, me and another friend (he always wins money). Both of us won about RM 130. And our bills for the food are about RM90.

I reached home at 3:20am. This is really an abnormal life. I think I prefer family life more than this, at least at night got people to hug and kiss, right?

Did I mention HR department has a new Associate Director? She report to work on July and she is 3-4 years younger than me. Even her age is younger than me but her salary is triple times higher than my salary. How come people can earn 5 digits salary per month and I can’t? And the worst thing is she is younger than me, sigh.

She has a long curly hair, ordinary face with ordinary body. One thing I realized about her is she only wear long pants to office, I never see her wear skirt before. Her voice is a bit ‘tea’ (‘manja’, soft like little women talk to guy, pampered). Why I said so? Because she is sitting behind me but in next row. I can hear her conversation. She spoke English, Malay, Mandarin and Hokkien. When she talked to Chinese, her language will be English + Mandarin + Hokkien, a mixture of 3 languages. I think Malaysian is like Singaporean speaks multi languages/dialects on one conversation.

Sometimes I heard her talked to her boy friend on the phone. She pampered to her boy friend. Sometime are very irritating and no manners listening to people conversation, but our seat is quite close. Because of my seat position, I am like satellite, received a lots of information from HR department, like spy. Remember the movie Transformers 2? There is a robot spy on the satellite? I am like the robot, hahaha.

Sigh, I am thinking when I can like her earning 5 digits per month?

I went there on last Saturday. This is my first time to there, the restaurant opened few years ago. I didn’t plan to there but I received a call from my friend say that he is boring at home, so ask me out for a drink, plus tonight is the EPL opening match, so ask me to watch outside.

I saw a big London town picture on the wall inside the restaurant, but they served variety of foods, like western, Chinese, Malays, Indians and others which I can’t remember. The menu is full of EPL team photos.

My friend ordered fried rice and I ordered twin burger (2 slices of beef), too hungry and long time didn’t eat burger. My friend is satisfy with the fried rice but I am not satisfy with my burger, I am not full after eating the burger plus the fries, this mean the portion is not big. But I saw others ordered foods served with big plate or bowl and I spy on it, the portion is big. I think I make a wrong choice.

We ordered beer as well. I can hear people shouting when someone scored goal. When I came back from washroom, I purposely walked around the restaurant, see got pretty girls or not. A lot of girls there plus a lot of black guys, don’t know where they from. My friends also busy looking around. I can see his eyes move around when some girls passing by.

We watched 2 and the half matches there, Chelsea against Hull City, Blackburn against Manchester City and Everton against Arsenal. The other half of the match we watched it in “Ming Tien”, Taman Megah. 2 am plus still got many people hanging out there. this is what we call City Life (part of it).
