Online diary - 16/2/10

I start working today because this company only observe 1 day holiday for CNY. I brought along with me cookies and cakes to share with my colleagues. The office was so peaceful as there was no telephone calls. Majority of other companies are still closed.

Time passes so fast and those that are around take this opportunity to slow down a bit. When one has nothing much to do and without stress times really flies. It was just like a few minutes , eight hours passes by. So light and easy. How I wish everyday is like that.

In spite of the hot weather, we are all pleased. Pleased that there are no interruption from external parties i.e. customers and suppliers and what not complaints.

The roads are equally pleasing. So nice to drive along quiet road. Seems like many years back when motors were not that crowded as it is today.

I also receive an angpow from my management. Although it is a very small token of RM2.00, never mind because I feel that I can still buy 1 plate of "Chee Cheong Fun", or I can still use it to pay for car parks charges. Naturally how I wished that it were bigger.

With regards to this RM2.00 angpow, of course majority of us laugh and condemn about it. What and how to do? Normally it is the case, good workers seldom meet good boss or vice versa. Too bad.

All went smoothly and everybody went back home at 5.00 pm sharp.

"Kam Moh Lan"

The phrase itself "Kam Moh Lan" makes me smile. In Hokkien literally it means sucking hairy cock.
"Kam Moh Lan" is an Hokkien idiom emphasizing how tiresome and difficult the matter / work is.
It can used as an adjectives for something extreme too. Eg the shop owner is as arrogant as "kam moh lan". Or the weather is as hot as "kam moh lan".

When we work non-stop busy like a bee and tired like a shit. To make a joke out of it , we describe such situation as like sucking hairy cock. Imagine how suffocating and troublesome sucking cock which is full of thick hair. Meaning excessively tiresome and troublesome.

Just reminiscing one of my office's jokes while at home, namely as tired as "kam moh lan".

It is Chinese New Year of Tiger

It is Chinese New Year Eve tonight. By now everybody has eaten their reunion dinner. Haha, i have been eating alone for the past years. No sweat. Maybe this is what is called solitude. Being alone peacefully and pleasant with no inspectors attitude or bossy persons around me. This is one type of the joy of living. Of course they are various type of joy of living too. Eg with grand- parents, parents, spouses eating harmoniously. Not too sure such closeness still exist today until today or not. Maybe externally pretending to be happy around with in laws but feel damn uncomfortable inside.

Wishing all my Chinese friends a happy and prosperous chinese new of year of tiger
