Busy ay....I know....BUT FINALLY....im settling down. New house is preety cool. I must say, I love it. The best part is the shower, its much wider than the previous house which means I now get to do some dancing in addition to my singing performance.
As for my job.....well, it has its moments but sometimes I just feel like pencilling a visit with the angel of death. Mundane, shitty jobs like filing, stamping, labeling, buying stationary, more filing, archiving, data entry, more flippin filing makes up a huge chunk of my day. 2 years studying hard out bending moments, water treatment, differential equations just to do some job that my 10 year old bro can probably handle. Should have joined Malique when he offered me that trafficking job...damn....could have score a free ounce of amsterdam's finest as well.....Nevertheless, I did some preety cool stuff as well like collecting contaminated soil and groundwater samples *nerdy snort*. I also learned some AutoCAD and now can successfully draw/erase straight lines and curves with ease.
Adding to my dismay, the majority of staff consists of these dorky, white melanin, bald bafoons that is probably just as exciting as watching Gigli with Chris Smail on commentary. A typical conversation would be:
Guy 1: So..the other day, I was fixing this stainless steel grating with M type bolt connection and was wondering whether the cross section could be reinforced to prevent excessive deflection at mid span.
Guy 2: Yea....theres lots you can do...blah blah...concrete....blah blah...joist...blah blah...post tension
Me: Hey guys... whose watch Borat??
* staff room turns silent, people halt and stare blankly at me *
Me: um.....pass the tea please....
Also, the average age of farts working in my firm is probably 45 with a racial spread of 89% white guys, 10% pacific islanders (mainly in the surveying department) and one miserable token asian guy (yes....yours truly). Gender split is also very bias with alpha males dominating the vast amount of male staff present. However, in retrospect, this job sure beats those pak N save, bakers delight days where pay was crap and work was aplenty.
Anyway, enough bout work...I recently been watching loads of Ali G clips on youtube and my fav is the interview with the beckhams...you gotta watch this...his got some hilarious lines such as:
Ali: Now Beckham, do u reckon the better the footballer u is, the fitter the girl u get?
Beckham: *smiles sheephisly*....obviously
Ali: So u is the best in football and u get posh...so does sporty spice goes out with someone from scumford united?
Victoria: thats horrible...thats my fren and shes lovely..
Ali: But is u saying that scumford united is not a good team...thats horrible
HAHAH....classic....and this one liner...
Ali: So do you want your boy to grow up to be a footballer like his dad or a singer like Mariah Carey?
and lastly, my favourite...
Ali: Lets talk bout fashion..beckham, we all seen pictures of u wearing clothes that is making u seem well embarrassing and a laughing stock....why do u wear that england football shirt?
Watch it!! RESPECT!!!
anyway...me is signing out now and me wanna hear from my main man, sean...if you reading this, u better be arranging the trip, those homie in msia is havin a blast man...must not lose face....hurry, me gots the stash ready....
