Not a crowd mingler.

In the media industry, the skill of socializing is more than merely building good rapport with your peers, clients and bosses. By associating with the right people make your career soar, generate revenue figures to the company's account and all that jazz. Which is the reason behind the exorbitant social networking parties.

The toughest part is.. To break the ice and make the first move. Unfortunately the office culture is not exactly helping. Almost everyone here is young (think below 35), full of energy and gear up to impress. Just like school, they hang out in cliques. It is not easy to mingle around the popular ones unless you too have either the looks, the position or if you are an up-and-coming raising rookie. In other words, you got to be LIKE them to be WITH them. Everyone just loves you when you're winning...

It is ironic that the environment has compelled me into reservation. I am more worried about how the others will judge me if I am being myself. Tongues will wag. Well, the no.1 rule of survival is still "every man for themself". The game of office politics is just a silly game that was spurred on by greed for power and fame. It is just so tiring that to think of strategies to worm your way into your boss' heart on top of your piling workload. But if I am not in the game, I will probably not have a good chance at promotion. People who made their efforts and potential known are mostly aggressive. I want to be like them. I want to be the tiger... But the heart of my nature is still very much the likes of a domestic kitten. I am pretty much alone in crowded concrete jungle.

Don't you know that shit can be WHITE?



This video just freaking make my blood boils. Not only are these arrogant prats a disgrace to their own race, but they are also making us, asians, hate them a little more.

Here's my little encounter with them, white shite. When I was in the "great" Britain, I have some French guys calling me and my (asian) friends "communist pigs". And some young British punks threw rubbish at us while they were driving pass. One of my girl-friends was being poked fun at to look like a "lady-boy" and a Burmese friend got kicked in the butt by some girls at the Underground. Which makes me think of Lily Allen that motor-mouth-of-rubbish girl with that "I-will-do-as-I-please" attitude.


You know us, asians, we are submissive and docile due to the course of history that tamed our manners towards our more "superior" white counterparts. To mention a few global impression Asians: We are "cunning", We "hate to lose", we don't mind "dirty, lowly jobs", we are usually related to "drug lords" or "mafia" or "rogues"..so on and so forth... But realised that we never openly jeer at caucasians, let alone those caucasian old folks. Well, not suggesting that the next time you see some old caucasian geezer with a young perky SPG in toll, you should go up and say, "Oh.. you are so benevolent. Did you adopt your grand-daugther from a third-world country nearby?"

Because 2 wrongs don't make a right.


*And there is nothing GREAT about Britain.*

Chris Brown VMA's 2007

Forget Britney's lacklustre performance at this year's VMA. Chris Brown stole the show... Totally! He's just so smooth. Even Justin Timberlake professed that he felt "older" after watching Chris Brown performed.

*Punch chest* Respek!

Mom's keeping up with the times...

Mom was ultra grumpy when I work up this morning. I realised why... My brother broke the shower head and the toilet looked like a tornado just left. So as I was preparing to take my morning shower, I asked my mom, "Mommy, do I use the other toilet for the time being?"

"DUH! Use your brain and think, can?" my mom replied.

I swore she sounded uncannily like my 14 year old brother. Then I went on to ask her, "Mom, why you sound so pissed?"

She stared at me with a rebellious streak in her eyes and held up the middle 3 fingers of her left hand and said "Wateverrr!"
