Easily annoyed

I envy those people who’s pleased with most things in this world – I am certainly not one of them.  I’m so easily annoyed with politics, entertainment, celebrities, etc.  Ryan Seacrest annoys me – I used to think that he’s cute.  Britney annoys me, I can’t listen to her sing!  I can list thousands little things that annoy me, but let’s just save our precious time – it’s not worth it!

I went to my routine antenatal check today.  I had to go through a blood test.  I know that I have this problem of “hidden” veins.  Lab technicians most of the time find it hard to find my vein close to the skin surface.  Today, this dude (never met him before) took my blood.  He’s trying to search for one vein, and decided okay, I will start my job.  He had the needle in my vein for a good 30 seconds, (I wasn’t looking, I fear blood!) before asking me, “Biasa ambik darah kat tangan mana?” I said “Tangan kanan sebab biasanya tangan kiri tak jumpa.”He responded with, “Oooh, tak jumpa ye.”

A few seconds later he pulled out the needle.  I thought it was all over, but apparently he didn’t even get a single drop of blood.  I have to go through it again!  He tried to look for another vein and started the process all over again.  I looked somewhere else and said to myself, “Better work this time!”  I felt the subtle pain all over again before finally it was all over.  That dude only managed to say “Sorry ye kak.”  I just walked away.  Relieved!

I miss working in an open office with cubicles.  More gossip and more stuff to look forward to (other than the work itself) when I go to work.  This is the fifth office I’ve worked in since I started working in October 2005, and for the first time, most of us have our own office.  We do share our offices, but we’re no longer in a big room full of cubicles.  It’s kinda nice to have your own space, but I kinda miss the “socializing” part.  Or is it because there’s less female in the office?  Yea, I think so.  Less female, less drama, less things to gossip about.  The world would be lonely without women, isn’t it?

I deserve a long entry….

I know it’s only a matter of time before someone in the office will start asking me about Malaysian politics.  The nice thing about being here is you won’t get annoyed with politicians that conquer the newspaper.  BUT since there is not politics to b***h about, they turn to Malaysian politics.  The thing is when someone asks my opinion, they will start giving theirs rather than listening to mine.  It can be a bit annoying… What happen in Perak really annoys me.  And one day someone approached me asking me what happened and starting giving me his views on the matter.  Dude, first of all, your opinion doesn’t matter to me, and I am already annoyed enough that I stopped watching/reading the news.  And to make things worse, this dude doesn’t even know the difference between DUN and Parliment.  Who are you to give any opinion about my country’s politics?  You know, things like these just ticked me off a little.

I cried reading a blog for the first time.  Cried for watching movies or tv happened so many times to me, but this blog is just phenomenal!  I was bloghopping yesterday and found this blog.  It’s about a guy who started a blog to update his friends and family on the progress of his wife’s pregnancy.  But in March last year, his wife gave birth to their lovely daughter and 27 hours later she passed away.  So I guess the blog has changed direction now… But the thing is he is coping well with his loss and I was really touched and moved by his strength and how he goes on with his life.  I want to put his link here, but I don’t want to be googled, so if you’re interested, ask me on a separate occasion.

This is the fourth country I’ve lived in.  And I live in 3 countries in my adult years now.  Sometimes, I just don’t understand why Malaysians are so into migrating especially to the west (be it the states or Europe).  I know the money is good, the numbers are reasonable, but there’s more to life than just money or having a cool life.  A lot of people asked me why did I choose to go home after graduation (fyi, I didn’t even apply for a job in the states, though I know I am capable of landing a decent one).  The answer is I am lonely – the lifestyle just doesn’t fit with me.  I don’t drink, I don’t go clubbing, I don’t smoke.  I love concerts and live music, but will I be doing it for the rest of my life?  I don’t think so… And the way I see it, a lot of our people who migrated to the west have to some extent compromise their religion e.g. takes up drinking etc.  I don’t think I can live with that.

I am not the most religious person on earth and I think I can live with the western environment and be okay.  But I’m more worried about my next generation – I don’t know if I’m capable to lead them in such environment.  Having said that though, I still DO want to have another few years of living in a western country.  I hope the time will come and I pray to God for it.  This time round I hope it’ll be much more fun because I hope I won’t be alone.

I walk every afternoon before dark around my neighborhood.  I try to do it everyday, unless when it’s raining.  I found it peaceful and relaxing.  I don’t think I’ll be able to do it back in my hometown – the air is just too dirty.  I’ve got fresh air here, and driving to work with your windows down in the morning is a bliss.  I know I am bored and lonely here, but the truth is, I can never get this back home.  Just like what they say, enjoy the moment… And I’m trying to.

I’m excited with the new American Idol.  The contestants have more interesting characters this year.  But now, the one that starts to annoy me is Paula herself.  Gatal betul bila tgk contestant kiut!  Blearghhhh… And I think she felt overshadowed by Kara.  Oh yea she does… Kara is way better, she’s good looking and has a mind of her own.
