A Tyrant!!

I did a small (very small in fact) survey on whether Singaporean are detered by the RM20 admission fee for cars to be driven into Malaysia. It appears that majority of the respondents are fairly unaffected by the decision. Most of the response is "Ai yah...RM20 is like SGD8.XX only ma. Small matter." Well if you compare Singapore's admission fees charged at Malaysian cars which is SGD30 (RM68) per day, and also the spending power of these 2 nation, i don't think the amount of cars entering Malaysia, jamming up the streets of JB will reduce.

Was asked..... well actually arrowed or kena push into the shit hole by my boss to attend to this client whom is having some mechanical problem with his belt drive assembly. I've been trying to escape from all these technical stuff and yet they are pushing me right back into it. I feel i am being exploited with this meagre pay and by right i am not suppose to handle application problems. I suppose to handle Product Marketing god dammit and now i am regularly asked to give technical advice and application method for the coy's product. The balloon is growing and more people and clients are coming to me for all these nonsense which i am trying to escape. I really regret telling the company that i have technical background. Its a good thing i did not tell them that i have manufacturing and production knowledge as well. If not they'll ask me to sovle yield loss, productivity improvements, operator and machine efficiency management, etc..

Well back to the main topic, so being a subordinate i can only say yes and go attend to his whims and fancies. On the other hand i don't want to let my superior think that i am incompetent. So off i went to this ulu place to find a small plant located somewhere in Singapore. (Names and nature of business of the company will not be named to protect my client, their coy, myself and all the mosquitoes in his plant.)

When i finally reach my client's place, we introduced ourselves and there are still smiles and some casual talks but when we are seated in his office, all hell broke loose. He started scolding and reprimanding me? My stunt face came out for a while but quickly i assess the situation and plan for the next best move. I was about to tell him "Excuse "his name" if you are going to talk in this manner and show me this type of attitude, i'm leaving." However these words did not came out. Most probably its my stupid ego at work again. I have this liking for handling tough situation and the more furious the other party gets, the higher my interest level soar. Damn i must be mad...... So i sat there doing nothing staring into space and he (my client) kept yapping and showing his discontent and rage. It was getting boring, i kept looking left looking right admiring his Fish and dragon statues, peeping at his paper work and spying on what he is doing while he kept #*&*$#!@#&!!! Finally he stopped, i look at the time and my gosh!!! He threw tantrums like a baby for more than 1 hour. Anyway its my queue to talk so i just offer him a solution and told him my position is to advice and to consult as the part manufacturer and is not answerable for any liability. After some discussions, he finally agree to try a method that we concluded.

On my second visit to his place, which was the next day his attitude changed. He can call my name and he remembers me without refering back at my name card. The second day was better, he can listen more to my explantion on the theory of the birds and the bees, why the chicken cross the road and why humpty dumpty choose to sit on the wall instead of a chair. Stupid egg deserve to get smashed.

My third visit to his place was even better. It was the day after the second visit. Now he can joke and smile. WTF? If he would have shown this attitude on the first day it wouldn't drag me 3 days to finish the job. Anyway it boosted my ego a bit. I like to poke my nose into angry people. haha.... but in anyway, i don't want to do it again. Cos it brings bad luck!!! I can't believe it. I went to buy toto and none of my 7 numbers are reflected. o_O" OMG!!! I am that bad luck!! WTF!!
