trapped bird :(

okay, i don't know how to begin this. don't know if i should say yahoo! or oh crap!

i shall say it in a monotonous way then. my days of freedom has ended. (that's dramatic!) this free bird is now trapped in a cage. starting this wednesday, i'm no longer a jobless grad but a software developer for a japanese company in penang.

i'm supposed to be happy but somehow im feeling sick in the stomach, like have been forced to swallow a bucketful of cow's pancreas juice and then a pint of honey. okay okay, i should count my blessings, consider myself lucky, be thankful, seize the opportunity but then i'm not feeling that way. i keep thinking, there you go, back to the office and the computer for the next 35 years.

i just hope i wont be part of the statics, that comprises of people who sit and groan about their work. i don't want to end up that way.

japanese company somemore..aduh!

he he...i just thought of something...japanese companies are pretty weird, apart from the pressure (that's something you just can't avoid, no matter what company you are working in).anyway, when i was doing my industrial training in ANOTHER japanese company, i observed that japanese are pretty rigid about neatness. the computers should be alligned to the table, they have 5 minutes break at 10.30 to clean your table and they have auditors to check the cleanliness level of each department. i don't know if this applies for all japanese companies, i certainly hope that the company i'm gonna work for will not be like that.

anyway..what made me smile was this...i still remember this incident..i used to come early to work when i was doing my training and every morning i will see the MD, a japanese man and greet him. then one day i saw another guy who looked very much like the MD, and i greeted him thinking that it was the MD. and lo and behold. ..he hissed at me..yes, you heard that right, he actually hissed at me and i was just standing there with this really dumb look on my face that said...what the hell???!!but i kept quiet anyway and walked away and since no one was there, since it was in a tunnel (yeah, we had a tunnel there in the company connecting the two plants and guess what, it was not even built underground but was still called the SPC tunnel, bodohnyeee), i turned back and stuck my tougue out at him.

the next day, i saw him again and just out of curiousity, i greeted him again, just wondering what would happen next...and again, he hissed like a snake. since that day i stopped greeting him and later realised that he was not the MD whom i used to greet everyday. he he! uma and me rolled and laughed like monkeys when i told her the story during her brief stay in my place.

well..whadaya know..maybe in this new company, another man will start roaring like a lion. he he! the butterflies in my stomach is all gone now.. it won't be so bad after all...whatever it is, i can handle it coz i already had faced an even worse situation before.

new working stories will come up and don't worry, i wont bore you guys with complains about my work place..no one will like to read those..

just a note, i finished up harry potter and the goblet of fire. bro said he will get prisoner of azkaban for me. yeah....potter rocks, rowling rolls!
