It has been a very long while since i last blog... all this while during the sept holidays, i have been working in a small company called ITO,its a japanese company manufacturing mainly plastic parts,though its started by a jap boss,but its malay-dominated working place(the prayer room,many malay workers and all the supervisors are malay can tell u that)...though i am quite fine working there, i do feel very miserable when i met this gang of ppl...Soe,Elhazeeq,Ferdaus,and Camen... the first time working with them was not very smooth... initially we started out quite well but only after some time we started to have many conflicts...

the first thing i want to say is that my first day at ITO company was quite a 'wet' one..why? coz that day christine and jo called me early in the morning and ask me to report to ITO at 1pm on my own...i got to take bus 182 from boon lay bus interchange at 12 plus coz the place is damn far...at tuas south street 3...that day was a heavy rainy day,and i didn have my umbrella with me,so when i alight i was drenched like ayam(chicken)...some more,christine din tell me exactly the address of ITO,causing me to search up and down for that word "ITO" in the stretch of tuas south street 2 in such a wet weather...luckily i was very near that company,so i reached quite soon...the first thing i did there is to report to the office there...

i report to the reception counter lady there who was surprised to see me so heavily drenched,and she asked me to wait for at the conference room while she do some admin work for me...the waiting was damned long lor as the air son there was quite strong and i was drenched,u noe...after i have gotten my work uniform and changed into it in the toilet, the first person i saw is Raizan,my supervisor for production department....

Raizan was a young and handsome guy...but when i first talked to him,i nearly speak out mandarin to him coz he really looks like a chinese as i tot he was a chinese...it was after a few days after i worked there then i realised he was a malay when my colleagues told me that raizan was a singaporean and he can speak malay when he interviewed him...i just cant believe it lor! lol...after that he give me my locker key and tap card (just like punch card) and get me ready for work..only then i reached my workstation then i feel a bit comfortable coz the place there quite hot...

now the next thing is about my fellow colleague,SOE...when i first knew Soe, i thought he was a malay guy as he really looks like a malay..only after i heard him speaking to my leader,ah Loy,in mandarin, then i knew that he is not a local..he is a chinese Burmese guy from myanmar..just like Htein lin i knew in sec school,and coincidentally they actually knew each other since young..both of them are currently classmates studying diploma in aerospace electronics.. although when i first knew soe we had no feud with each other but i had a strong feeling that that he is no simple guy...because of his looks and speech and his behaviour...

he is extremely friendly to all the staff in ito..he keep smiling to them and i can't help thinking that he is a hypocrite,right from the start,...i know there is a saying that one should not judge a book by its cover,but as i got to know him longer this suspicion came true.. he is right. he says on the 1st day he smile to the staff there to show that he is not snobbish person,or dao and he says that he make friends with anyone,be it old,young,fat,skinny,rich,poor,pretty or ugly..ya..that's right,so that he can show off his attitude and insult,bully or or being sarcastic to them when he know their weaknesses...this is what happened to me then..after which he form a small "colony" of his own(together with ferd,zeeq and camen) then can resume back to his own personality that is to show his attitude among his colony...what the...how "fake" he is!!!

the real disaster came when i left my cleaning and fiiting department and shift over to ferd's and soe's work station... there's one day when i go toilet and urinate in the cubicle...then soe came after i exited the cubicle and washed my hand..not long after i heard him spouting out vulgarity(4-letter word) when he saw what is in the cubicle and delibrately shouted "who never flushed the toilet?!" hey i got flush de lor but i dun want to argue with him as it was working hours..after this incident i tot he never follow up...on one saturday that is hazeeq's bdae,only i,soe and ferd come 2 work...

in the afternoon when i come over to their side and helped out,i saw ferd is wearing a badge and i ask what badge is that? then he say its a badge for being most efficient (he pronounced it as "yee-fee-sient") worker...actually that badge is one of the plastic parts and he use it for fun..but i correct him by saying the word "air-fee-cient"..nothing happened but when i and others continue to do our work and and when i was removing the plastics from the jig,the plastic drops and i din bother to pick it up and continue to do work..then soe take this chance to say some sarcastics remarks "hey how efficient("air-fee-cient") of u,man! i think u should wear ferd's badge" when i heard him keep emphasising that word i knew that he is going to make life difficult for me... All thanks to that thermo-cum-heat transfer lecturer ST phua,or cP,watever u may call her,i got all these nonsense from all these ppl!...Efficient...must settle scores with u one day,ST phua...lol...

the following week, i saw 3cartoon drawings on a piece od papaer by ah man,my creative colleagues,depicting the pictures of Soe,the rooster head, ferd the da4 li4 shi4(macho), and zeeq the auntie-killer(including ah Loy!) ...then when i saw another piece of paper showing the drawing of a person which is toking abt me(such as never flushed the toilet bowl,"what de...,"air-fee-cient",the specky guy with moustache,luckily mole on my face is not mentioned cux they dun noticed it)...i was so mad!!! i certainly had a strong feeling that the prime culprit for this drawing was Soe...yet he dare to say that he dun noe who done it and the next moment he knew who did this stupid and lame things but he say it must be someone who dun like me...

i simply dun like the face of his,full of fakeness and hypocripsy...So sarcastic he is!!! but i didn confront him as i want to be a more forgiving person...so these few days i had been labelled as "mr Efficient" by Khine Soe(in actual fact he is not a kind soul at all!)

and few days later he come and talk to me,appearing to be big-hearted person and says these few days he and others(excluding camen) were just trying to lighten the working atmosphere which was very boring...so they just want to tease me only...your foot ah! who'd believe u? Soe told me that i should take the GEM on using logic in an argument...he was trying to say that i dunno how to argue with ppl,so they might think i am a easy target to bully and insult..to think why am i so kind to tolerate them? tolerance brings peace ma....but with Soe's character the word 'peace' never appears in his dictionary. he had once considering whether to join the anti-IMF rioting group for the IMF and world bank meeting during september...

i knew that they meant to bully me verbally just because i am a person with poor attitude and so different from them..hey i just want to do my job and take away the money that i earned...well i am poor so i need $$$ even more urgent than anyone of these 4 ppl....i know that they are more fotunate ppl, can afford to enjoy pubbing and clubbing.. u see, i dun even know the difference b/w pubbing and clubbing..and anyhow say that the pub opens at 6pm instead of 7pm the standard time and i got laughed by camen...

well i am left with no choice but to work hard and i dun think they should gloat over my plight..they actually say that they dun have to go thru the hardship as they are provided by their parents...especially soe...i know ur parents are supporting u in your buying of a motor bike u had longing for..even if u cant make $1k within the 3 weeks we worked u can still realised your dreams...yet u still dare to splatter ur sarcasm on my last days...So what if u can end work early to enjoy ur friday nite with susana?so what i need the OT to survive? its none of ur business! U go and enjoy ur blessed life,all i care!

i remember on my last day,22nd sept, soe delibrately asking me how's my sec and pri school life and further ask me if i had been bullied before during school times or else why i got bullied in workplace? and he left a remark saying that"its a shame that i din enjoy my work there" so what? my primary purpose of going to work is to earn $$$...i know u had many friends there so u say to me that when u leave u will get present from ur colleagues and they will miss u...and u say my departure from ito is "not glorious" at all. u said that i had no friends when i tell u i almost forget who are my sec school friends' name and forget easily the person i used to talk to. But let me tell u,u were wrong!!! i would know who treat me better and who is nasty to me...i remenber u keep telling joke to me,in a form of riddles,and u think i dunno that u were trying to divert my attention while u were standing in a place where u can check the supervisor is coming and u want me to kenna scold by the supervisor rite? and u also want to insult me of me deprived of childhood rite?

SOE pls stop all ur nonsense!!! i know u are much fortunate than me and pls stop showing me your authority of bullying! u will get retribution one day!!! Enough said....GTG now...
