Couldnt get along?!! IMPOSSIBLE! I told her that we were from the same sec school, though we didnt talk to each other back then in school, we know each other since then! Now, we are friends and if we are friends, why should she want to sabotage me?! Tell u something..
I admit I sometimes make mistakes in my work, its MY OWN mistake..not anyone sabotage me.. Its my OWN HUMAN ERROR and they covered up for me and they got the scolding instead. I am too ashamed to face them when that happens but now I am slowly catching up and make sure no more mistakes at my end coz I dun want execs keep coming to them and asked why this and why that.
So, what does she mean by they sabotaged me? Nonsense!
Reply:
"Oh GOD! What she said to me is not true! She told me that all of u can't get along well and they make use of u to do more work. Also, she told me that they sabotaged u coz u are very slow in your work. U see, her words unsettle me that I hardly breathe abt it. I never ask her abt u or anything coz it is not my business, right? Oh gosh! She blurted everything abt u, personal life and so much. I need a breathing space on my own... I dun want know much coz it can lead one to be mad or depression. No good for mentality."
What?! Slow?! What does she mean by SLOW?! I am a degree holder, definitely I should understand my job scope! Just that there are some mistakes la.. We are humans! Nobody is perfect! All humans make mistakes!
My dept which always have lots of work! Coz we are dealing with all the countries except Singapore and Malaysia, from filing up to the stage of grant! Therefore, its understandable enuff that our work is forever never-ending! What the hell, she mean by SLOW?! If she mean to say that I am slow in typing.. HELLO! My typing is 41 to 50 wpm, (estimated la) and before I came here, in fact before anyone comes here, we had to go for typing test during the interview, don't we? So, if my typing skills are slow, I shldn't be here! NONSENSE!

Hi MBS
Can u tell me wat BOD opening speech last Wed at CNY dinner?
My reply:
Alamak! I came in late.. U noticed right? So, I didnt really hear.. sorry...
The next day, the same person sent me email:
Hi Maria,
Please keep this a secret, promise me. I cant disclose the names but I tell u something. Some of our colleagues heard rumour saying that u heard at the CNY opening speech, this co will organise trip to Korea / Australia next year. A few of them know u were sitted at same table as me, hence came to me and confirm abt it. I recalled that u came late and therefore missed the speech. I told them it is not true coz I witness u came late. I asked them from whom they heard the rumour from. I know it instantly they heard it from her. She told me different story. She told me that her supervisor told her that this co will organise trip to Korea / Japan next year. I dun understand why she told different story. I have promise this to myself, the next time she mentions the name of so and so telling her of etc etc, u need to verify with them if she said the true story. If they got confused and said no, u know already she is fond of telling lie and create different story. Many of my friends warned me she create friction among many pple, causing them to hurt each other.
Dun be naive to believe her story. I told u again and again, u must stand firm. Dun buy her story. Dun worry, shld the BOD approach u and 'accuse' u on why u have been spreading the opening speech trip announcement, me and ALS will stood by u.. We saw u coming in late and we knw u and 2 others also came in late, u can even ask them to stand by u.. as witness..
My reply:
WHAT?!! When did I say that?! Hey! This is already serious! She is sabotaging my ricebowl! She is wants me to get into trouble! She mention I tell her that I heard BOD's opening speech?!! If its not true, BOD come to me! Anyway, since I was late and she mention opening speech is abt trip announcement, then did u see the whole lot of them clapped and yelled a hooray if the trip is being announced? No, isnt it? Therefore, I dun think there is any mention of trip in the opening speech! Sighz
Back home, I wrote at my facebook status: I was late for the dinner therefore missed the speech.. I kept repeating the same status again and again coz SHE is in my facebook and I WANT her to know that I am aware of the rumour and I'm doing this to protect myself.
The next week, I sent email:
I dont have access to the internet, so can I go to ur plc and use ur PC for a while? Last nite, I kept brooding over this that I resort to post it at my status and even commented on it. Well, if u are noticeable enuff, u shld know there are a lot of colleagues in my facebook.. before they heard that ridiculous opening speech tale, I must defend myself. Furthermore, 1 of the directors is also in my facebook.. Hence, thats the only way (putting it at my status and commented on it) to attract attention and know that I am being FRAMED! So, I would now like to delete the comments before she reads it and ask me questions later, which I dun know how to ans.. she sure will ask but preten she didnt spread the rumour..
Sighz.. This is serious matter.. She likes to bully me sometimes but this is NOT bullying.. This is sabotaging my ricebowl. And whats this? She also mention her supervisor's name? Whats her story with her? Why does she want to get her into trouble! For God sake, she is her superior.. Just look at the rank - Administrative Officer, is she crazy?!
Thats why I also uploaded the CNY photos in my facebook to proof that I was late. I went up to 37th floor to get a colleague to apply make up on me, that why we were late so I have no idea what was the speech abt!
Reply:
Dont worry, I understand, I will defend u and speak truth for u in case anything happens. Luckily ALS and I know u came late and what she said already tells me that she is telling different story.. I have to beware of her.. U too.. I think its time now to have showdown with her.. We have to clarify matters with her. We want her to stop creating friction and false truth. I dun want hear this and that..
When my superior came to me asking abt my facebook comments, I related to her. She was seated at the same table with one of the directors and she told me there was no opening speech, just a speech.. Here's the email:
I am saved. No one will buy her story. I told u yestday that I wrote my status and even comment on it? Then I go to ur workstation to delete it off.. I guess its too late coz she had read it at home (coz she was on leave yestdaY) and today she asked me abt ut. I told her. She knew it instantly who started the rumour and tell me to ignore. She was there at the dinner too and she told me there wasnt any opening speech, just a speech, why exaggerate and said, 'opening' speech? I also inform her that I am kinda worried if BOD came to me regarding this. Both of them told me to be firm and point fingers.
Phew! I am relieved. See, it does help putting it at my status so that pple here can know that the rumours are all nonsense!
Final reply:
So, she know she start the rumour? I need to check with u.. she always told me that u did not get along well with them and they sabotaged u few times. Is it true? U can share with them abt it, so that the whole co know she is a great liar.. U are saved and I'm happy for u.. U can work in peace..
TBC ... I heard more rumours... sighz.. why is she like that? Like to create friction against one another? In malay means, batu api..

DCJ,
I remembered on 20 or 27 December last year, she talked to me abt a "friend" of her saw my photo with my bf on facebook and that "friend" asked her abt the photos.. That "friend" told her that my bf looked very fierce and I looked very innocent type and the "friend" was afraid my bf may control me. She tried to defend me and asked the "friend" how the "friend" knows.. She told me that the "friend" told her that from the face expression, the "friend" can tell he is the fierce and control type.
She also informed the "friend" that I am higher educated and my bf is lower educated.. She said the "friend" looked worried.. She said to me that her "friend" is confident that our relationship can't last long coz of the different level of education. She tried to defend me again assuring to her "friend" that my bf will continue with his studies once he has the money coz he didnt wish to burden his family.
She then continued to tell me that her "friend" exclaimed, '"Her bf bluff her la.." She seem shocked and asked why. The "friend" told her, '"I know la.. I also like that.. Guys are all the same, when got money and work, no interest to go back to school.."' Sighz... Furthermore, she repeatedly telling me that her "friend" wished that our relationship wont last long so the "friend" can get to know me..
She even showed me the photos of her "friend" and pestering me if she could give my number to this "friend". In my thoughts, maybe I will just pass my number and let this "friend" called me and I can clarify with him if what she said to me is true. However, on second thoughts, I dont want to share my number with anyone else. Maybe this "friend" didnt exist. U may never know, maybe she showed me photos of any man she snapped on internet.. I told her, "I dont want u to pass my number around without my permission, else.. I'll have to bear with all the hasselment to change my number.. Please.."
DCJ, last week I informed her that my bf is starting his studies again in July coz he has some money. I have to let her know coz on 20 / 27 December she told me that this "friend" didnt believe my bf will have the interest to go back to school again so thats why I told her and she seemed a bit surprised and had to give a thumbs up.
However, she asked me this, "R u wiling to wait for him?" *eyes rolling* I replied that all this is fate and only ALLAH decides the fate for us.. If fate says we're not together, what can I do? I dont think pple (she always get someone else to be the scapegoat - I knw she always has a negative comment and negative opinion abt us) will laugh at me coz they know this is fate. If they laughed, that shows that they are stupid and they dont even know that all this is fated.. (say this just to get back at her somehow la hehee) Furthermore, I told her that he resume studying and if it is not fated to be with me, doesnt matter coz he resumes studiyng for his own good.. Then there was silence.. No word from her..
Reply from DCJ:
oh gosh! she never stop talking abt ur relationship! she try to probe further into ur affair and time to stop all these rubbish! i can see u r troubled and distressed by those 'rumours'. from what i understand, she may have told this friend of her abt ur background and ur bf's first.. eles, how could this friend know so much? does it make any sense? an outsider u didnt even know can say so much negative things abt ur bf? i'm not happy that she never give up talking abt this till u and him give up? is it worthy thinking hard to come up with plan to ruin ur relationship with him? dun be soft hearted and time for u to tell her off! stop all nonsense and leave u and him alone to decide what is best for both of u.. have to be firm and tell her not to probe further into ur affairs.. she is not ur mummy or sister... if u let it continue, i'm afraid u will lose this relationship and moreover u ended up more hurt. pls heed my advice, dun share ur problem with her coz she will use ur facts to carry tale and it could be worst! think abt it.. the more she mention abt it, the more rumour is created and the more depressed and crazy u will be.. i read from a book that rumours and criticism can drive one to depression and sickness.. u just focus on ur relationship with him alone... i will have a good talk with her during lunchtime.. I sighz at ur plight.. if u heed my advice earlier, it will not happen.. maybe its not ur fault coz u're friends and friends always share problems.. she is not worthy to be any of our friend... she will use real fact to create false story.. she did that to me before.. cant believe its ur turn.. dun worry so much..

How they have grown.. I could not recognize them until they are members of Facebook and posted photos of their Jin Tai days..
When they posted the photos.. my absent-minded brain has been cured.. And I was so shocked.. No wonder la when I first saw them on TV.. I kept asking this to myself, "I think I know him... I think I know him.." U damn right I know him (them to be precise)!
Who are they I am referring to?
REVALINA - consist of 3 guys.. Azhar Wahab (ex member), Nazarul Jamil and Rosman Senin (my fav member). I found out that Revalina has a new member - replacing Azhar who withdraw from Revalina due to work commitments - Aidil Arshad.
FYI.. Aidil Arshad is my junior from sec sch. I was in secondary 2 and he was in secondary 1.. Patutlah very familiar!!!
FATSKUNKS - consists of 5 guys.. 2 of them looked kinda familiar to me until I caught them in Facebook under the group: Jin Tai Secondary School.. Rupernyer 2 members of Fatskunks are my seniors! I talked to them before! Talentime 1997, I won solo category.. the 2 of them with another 3 of their classmates won BAND category!!
They all grown up so they all looked different! Cant recognized them! I have never met Fatskunks in person but I have met Revalina alot of times in person and I believe Aidil wont find me familiar.. Hahaha...
We have all grown up and we dont look the same anymore (for them la they are guys - need the change but for we ladies.. esp me.. I still look the same.. Nyahahaha)
So that's my entry for today.. Jin Tai talents.. Oh.. There are actually more Jin Tai talents to add on to the list..
My best friend, A's sister acted in Heartlanders (2002) before.. Heartlanders starring Vincent Ng and Aaron Aziz.. Sulianah aka Nana (my senior - HB's batch) acted as an extra in Bara (2000 and 2001) before. Matt Au (my batch but he was in Express stream) acted in Moulmein High (2001 / 2002) starring Cynthia Koh. Nazrul participated in Projek Cerpen by Suria early last year and got 11th place. If Suria telecasted the top 20 cerpens.. Nazrul will be featured on TV... =D Last but not least, HBH (my ex-junior ; Aidil's ex-junior too and also a colleague of mine) acted as an extra in Rahsia Perkahwinan 2..
Me? Err... backup singer for Hady Mirza and an extra for any Suria dramas co-starring Fadhlur Rahman / Haizad Imran? Nyahahahahaha... *perasan.com*
