Say No To Bus Crash

Chung Lern and Nian Ning’s families would like all families and friends of the victims, dead or alive, in the Slim River Bus Crash to come forward and join them in taking action against the bus company. Stand up to seek justice for these three innocent individuals, who were all so young and full of life.
Make a huge difference, make a huge fuss.
For now, you may contact Lee Chung Lern at chunglern@gmail.com or preferably on his handphone at 012-6670368.


If you have time to be online chatting and posting camwhoring pics on friendster,I think it wouldn't be too much if you would just take some time off and perform a deed of kindness.I'm sure most people know about the Slim River bus crash that claimed 3 lives.It's appaling to hear such news especially 1 of them is a sister of my friend's.I don't know what in the world is happening today but it's not a safe place for us to live in anymore.Just imagine a bus driver with 13 summonses is still driving people around on highways.What's the bus company thinking?Is profit all they ever care?People are dying out there.Can they sleep at night?Won't their guilty conscious haunt them?I'm totally aggrieved with the things that are happening in our society.
Therefore,I'm appealing to all of you to sign this petition and bring the culprits to justice.If we don't make a difference now,no one would.





Painful loss

Pain is an unpleasant feeling.Pain is a mean thing.But when pain is caused by the loss of a loved one,it is the worst thing ever for anyone to bear.Hearts crumble and skies turn dark.Nothing can be done anymore except crying and more crying.
Just yesterday,I received a really devastating and disheartening news from Reuben.I couldn't believe what he told me.It appears that the daughter of a teacher's,who also happens to be the sister of a friend's,died in a bus crash.It struck me hard in my head and I was blank for a moment."Is this real or I'm just seeing things?"I thought to myself.I went searching for the news online and much to my dismay,it was real.I felt really bad for her and her family.And as i continued reading the news,i realised that the bus driver had numerous summonses on him and he is still driving people around?Why isn't anything done to him?Why isn't his license revoked?Why are people's lives entrusted to the hands of this irresponsible driver?Is the government playing their part?With corruption sprawling all over the country,offenders are being spared and continue to harm people.I pray that these f**kers will forever be damned in the fires of hell.
Later at night,a few other friends and I went to pay a last respect.And when we were there,I could see that our teacher was really sad.I can tell that as much as she wanted to cry, tears wouldn't come out anymore.Like what we say in Chinese,"kau boh bak sai."Only time will heal her and her family's wounds.
So,what is life all about?Do we live just to find out we're gonna die some day?Wealth,fame,glamour,pride,do they even matter anymore?When we die,all else is nothing.Cherish every moment you spend with your family and friends,that's what matters most.Find a purpose in your life and go all out for your dreams.We only live once.After all nothing is certain in life.Only death is.

Cinderella?

"What is it because I have bad breath?Or am I too ugly that I nauseate you people?I feel so dissipated and out casted".
Ring any bells?I might well take back those words.You see after getting to know my colleagues better,I think I'm just being sensitive.Most of them are nice people.Just take for example Grace.All along i thought she was very unfriendly and fierce but I was wrong.She turns out to be kinda friendly and nice.She even brought to go round the ward to collect specimens with her. In a way I was quite happy that someone actually wants to teach me something.So don't ever judge people by their appearances.I'm sure Choya and Apong would agree with me.
What may seem beautiful to you may actually become ugly the moment you turn your head away.Don't pass judgment on people or you yourself will be judged.Even Cinderella can turn into Cruella without you realising it.Watch this video and you'll get what I mean provided you understand Cantonese though =P
Having said all that I'm still not very fond of my job though.I barely earn enough for myself to spend.Every cent I spend must be thought over twice.It's a frugal game I'm playing everyday.There's nothing much I can do but accept it the way it is.

Life

Have you ever wondered how life is in fact
A sequence of choices and steps?
How each step that we take
And each choice that we make
Has it's own cascade of effects?

Am I taking this job? Am I taking this chance?
Is this love or a simple romance?
Is this a special occasion
Or just an illusion?
That's something I might never know

....
Yes, I've been thinking
Lately about my life,
This path that I'm taking,
This intricate, wondrous ride

....
Going through life without knowing
What the future is holding
Where the current of life might have flown
If at some point in time
We'd have changed our mind,
Is it a curse or a bliss, who's to know?
But there's no use in dwelling in questions and doubts,
I'm living this life only once.
So at each little step on this wondrous path
I'm giving it all that I've got

....
Yes, I've been thinking
Lately about my life,
This path that I'm taking,
This intricate, wondrous ride.

Outcast

As you can see I've started working for like 4 days now.I'm still trying to adapt myself to the environment and
people.The problem is most of my colleagues doesn't seem very friendly.There are only 2 people whom I can talk to which are Thani and Chan.Unlike me,Thani is more of a social butterfly and can mix around easily.I'm more to the quiet type.But even so,that doesn't mean I didn't try talking to them people.
One thing I realise is they would smile when they talk to Thani but whenever I talk the smiles are wiped off their faces.What?Is it because I have bad breath?Is it because I look too ugly that I nauseate you people?


feeling nauseous?

I feel so dissipated and outcasted.I don't know what went wrong or is it just me.I do hope things will get better as time goes by.

A day in a life of a lab assistant

All right,so I've already started my job as a lab assistant in LWEH.Well not exactly one day like stated in the title.It's already been the 3rd day today,but scratch that.I guess I'll just highlight the important things that happened in these 3 days and those that really drove me crazy.But before that,let's talk about how I got this job.
You see actually this job was recommended by a friend of my dad's.One fine morning when I was still sleeping so soundly,I received a call from that friend.He asked me to attend an interview in the hospital.I just had to go to the HR department and they will know what to do with me,so he said.The best thing is I can go at any time of the day within the working hours.Weird isn't it?Who cares anyway as long as I can continue sleeping until I feel like going.However I went earlier to give a good impression,like I have any.
Okay so I went to the HR department and there was this Ms. Kok who interviewed me.She looked kinda down and depressed but she was actually quite a nice person though.I wouldn't consider the interview as an interview.She barely asked me anything.Then she brought me to the head of the lab department,Mr Leong which happened to be that friend of my dad's.The next thing I know is I was hired but I told him I wanted to consider first cause the salary was too damn low even for someone who doesnt spend much,what more a big spender like me.And there's 6 days of work in a week.But in the end I had to accept the job due to some circumstances I don't wanna mention.


So moving on to the 1st day of work.I reported myself at the HR department at approximately 8.30.There I met a lot of new employees who were also there on their 1st day of work.Later we were brought to the resource centre for some briefing.It took like a few hours and God knows how boring it was.It was then I met a new friend who happened to be working at the same department as me.His name is Thani.So not bad actually I have a friend there,at least.We were only brought to our respective departments after lunch.
Upon reaching our department which was the pathology lab,we were briefed by Mr Leong and was led by him on a little tour around the lab.He also introduced us to the person who is supposed to be in charge of us during our period of service there.Yes his name is Kah Keat but it's not you Jimmy,it's Chan Kah Keat.Most of the people call him Chan,so we just tagged along.We were also brought to some department to get our lab coats.We are supposed to wear them in the lab all the time for hygiene and safety purposes.If you don't know what a lab coat is it's just a white coat the length of a trench coat,you know that kind of coat flashers wear and run around showing their dicks to people.
So we were taught by Chan on what we are supposed to do.Our job is mainly keying in data and receiving samples sent by the attendants and nurses from various wards.The samples include blood,urine,stool or what we would normally call shit,sputum which is actually phlegm,blood plasma,PRESERVED ORGANS!!!and the list goes on.And I know there are plenty of new things I will have to learn in the days to come.So there goes my 1st day.
Then came the 2nd day.Nothing much about our job.Just the normal routine of keying in data and receiving samples.During lunch,Thani and I went across the road to RHB bank to open an account because our salaries will be creditted into that account.So we went to the information counter and asked.The lady asked for our mykads to be scanned.Then......

Lady : Sorry but both of your mykads can't be scanned.
Thani : Can you key in manually?
Lady : No.We have to read the data in the microchip.
Me : So what should we do?
Lady : You must make a new mykad.
Me : OMG.What the fuck.Like whatever.Later......

What a bitch.We work like 6 days a week.We don't have time to go and make a new mykad.I don't wanna waste my leave just to go make a new mykad.It's absurd.Therefore, I've decided to go to another branch the next day to see if it works.Who knows the scanner was cacated.
Well then today I sacrificed my lunch time to go to the Air Itam RHB bank.And guess what,it didn't work as well.It was my mykad's problem afterall or is it the government's for producing such cheap and useless mykads.I have no choice but to take a day's off to settle it.Sorry,lady at the information counter but you're still a bitch.There was little time left until my lunch time was over.Pitiful but I only had time to grab a bun from Eden Cakehouse.Sobz....what have I done to deserve this??????

I think that's all about my 3 days in work.I assure you there will be more complaints to come.Stay tuned.
