So to speak

It is hard to be someone between employee and bonuses. Really.

My boss keep skirting around if i pop up about bonuses. The answer will digress and suddenly the problem with the nation be like ours to discuss and finally resolve. There will be talks about Maybank conspiracy, credit cards, rojak and cendol, Yakuza, arwah Nurin and rumours, you name it. The thin layer between yes and no seems so hard to identify.

He is either a very charismatic authoritarian guy or he uses hypnotism. I keep myself unable to focus on bonuses after every conversation. What is apparent from my experience with him these 2 years is that his workers cant really put their guts in order to speak about extra moolahs ever before. It was heavenly for him.

Now it’s me, the person who is in charge of salaries, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements, allowances and what not hit myself up with thousands of reasons to both occasions; yes or no to annual bonuses. It is plain to me, after talking to somebody, that there are 2 separate identities that i need to be addressed; being an employer as opposed to being an employee.

“Do you know why is great to be you?”
“No, why?”
“Because you can be both parties. You’ll be loved by your boss and staff nonetheless with or without bonuses. They’ll just blame themselves not you”

Now i know better. Hehe..

"I'll let him know when i see him again.."

I woke up this morning to the noise of rain tapping on my windows. I miss that sound. It wasn’t dark outside and the shades let light from the overcast sky sneaked its way in, right on my bed, my pillows and my face. I was pushed away under my comforter thinking about comparable mornings like this. No, i seldomly wake up as early as 5am if it is not around Ramadhan.

The first thing i notice was this huge bright light at the corner of the window. It was really beautiful. Low hanging and lay in a very great shape. I can't believe my eyes, a big giant moon stands before me greeting my morning. It was peeking through bricks of buildings and mountain ridgets, doing its best trick on me. My brain getting faster by minutes, finding the best way to complete that feeling i was having. Elated. Thank goodness for this opputunity. I wish i shall meet the moon again tomorrow, as soon as i open my eyes.

Happy fasting everyone out there (sorry for not replying any of your smses, i can't find the best wish to give back to all of you, blame my carpel tunnel syndrome, hehe..) I am aware that i havn't update this in AGES! But as its Ramadhan, and i like the feeling of coming celebration, fresh start and all that i thought i'd start writing again, but basically it is just that i have something to tell. But actually i still dunno what to write about ;)

A little something to anyone who missed Cheras Courts Mammoth sale last weekend, it was satisfying. I was looking for blender and DVD player (all for half price), but the first day turned out that i only managed to get a car vacuum cleaner for RM1.00. The crowd was huge and the items were sold in limited quantities. On the second day, my friends and i went as early as 8:30am, and the crowd was even bigger. I can't believe that people have that crave for shopping that much. Dah rezeki alhamdulillah, i managed to grab Pensonic DVD player and 3 pillows for RM82.00. Next aim for shopping : SHOES.
