When life is too good, something will come to destroy it

First of all, the title is extra cliche. Second of all, as depressing as it may sound, I am stressed right now. Just do not disturb me or I will burst. Heh that surely does not scare you, didnt it?

 The reason Im down tonight.




My friend's tweet, specially tweeted for me.




Got me to this, after some words and lame jokes.



Im starting to think, what if I didnt get this? What if all I do is just gonna embarrass myself?

Tell you what, it's gonna be worth the ride.

Seniority..

Is it fair if you are doing the same thing as the juniors but you are paid more? I certainly do not see any special reason why you should get paid more, except for seniority purpose.

Bcs all you do is going online all the time. Like all the freaking time. To the extent that I simply act like I didnt see there were customers in front of me so that you will do your job. That was what you were entitled to do, too.

Jgn la kerja kau asyik nak marah aku, ckp aku tak buat kerja. I know, I am new. But that does not mean you can buat kerja sambil lewa.

When you know something, you share it

"Gym will be closed this Sunday. Sorry for the inconvenience."

A customer came in and asked nicely,

Eh nak tanyalah, betul ke lepas the word "be", kena closed as in ada D kat belakang the word? Bkn ke "will be" tu mksdnya belum berlaku lagi/future?

I replied with all confidence that I have bcs I know all about grammar hikhik *bajet ckp besar pulak kat sini pdhal jwb td mcm gagap jgk fikir example nak bagi* and explained,

Eh betul dah tu, closed. Sbb err errr. Ala mcmana nak cakap eh. Haaa kan kita ada 3 tense *semangat ni, siap guna jari tunjuk satu demi satu* present tense, past tense and past participle. For example, write. Past tense is wrote. Past participle is written. So kalau nak dijadikan ayat "this will be written by bla bla bla". Kita kena guna past participle, bkn past tense.

Haa lebih kurg mcmtu lah aku jawab. But this guy who asked, was not someone I like to entertain kat situ. But well, kerja aku ala-ala PR kan, semua orang lah kena layan. Then he replied with,

Ohh haah kan. Betul laa, betul laa.

And walked away to the toilet with a smile. Which is good, I have taught someone what I know. That feels good, to both of us.

So that basically increased my self-esteem up to an upper level. It's so amazing to have this little knowledge and the power to explain of what is right and what is wrong.

I know, it is just a simple grammar, but not all can explain it the way I did.

P/S: This story has obviously been summarised into a shorter version. The conversation was not as short as it is told.

Can you see me? Can you hear me? Hello?

So today the main topic will be about CCTV.




THE ADVANTAGE(s)

Boss/owner of the company do not need to come every other time to do a spotcheck on their workers. Or in other easier words, stalk the workers. Did they curi tulang? Did they all do what they were supposed to? Or were they taking things too easily? Thus he gets to save his time and his petrol to come and go back every night before they gym is closed.

Insurance is covered. Nowadays, nothing is ever free. Nothing will be given that easily without proven proof. If the gym were to be robbed on any night, that would be unfortunate. Cause I tell you, the gym makes a lot of money (ehem). So if there were no recorded tapes proving the gym got robbed, tak ke satu hal lain pulak the insurance company had to call the police or investigator to investigate everything. Malaysian police dah lah not as efficient as FBI tu. No offence people.




THE DISADVANTAGE(s)

You are being watched over 24/7. Yes lah, what do you expect? The CCTV is set up for that reason. No such thing as to make sure the insurance company will cover if suddenly the gym terbakar or something. That is just a cover up.  So the boss knows what you are doing and the best part is, when you forget its existence. Padah le jawabnya. You got bored so you turun padang and join the  rest working out. Haa kantoi disitu.

Wireless fidelity is slowed down by 7 times by 100. The CCTV can be watched through online, name it, Facebook, Twitter? Semua boleh. That was what the kakak told me. I am not really sure how it works. Which means, even if you go mobile web to check on yr Fb or Twitter account, it will still be slow.

The above reason, can cause you to be extra tension/stressed out. Brings a lot of disease you know. Elok muda remaja ni nnt muka berkerut sbb tension wifi lembab mcm arnab merangkak -_-

The saddest part is that I cannot even watch Marimar anymore. At home, adik is downloading movies. So line is obviously slow. At work, the CCTV if they are being watched online, line is supeeeeeeeeer slow. Cannot even tweet like always. I am veryyyyyyy sad.

--------------------------------------------------

Can you see who wins? The disadvantages. So please pull out the CCTV pleasssssse.

Kalau ini je main points aku untuk buat essay masa SPM haritu, mmg kempunan jatuh tangga la nak dapatkan 100/100 markah tu.

How Facebook caters to our needs

So your mum sent a friend request to you on Facebook. Your colleague too. Your customers at work as well, bcs you forgot they existed when you were told to post up a picture on your company's webpage. Now all the regular customers are filling up your request's page. Great. The guy who looks at you with weird face, the one that looks as if he has his own agenda playing in his mind? Your backstabber colleague who finally has shown her belang? That person who seems nice to you but you find out that he reports every single thing that you do to everyone?

But you dont want them to make a big fuss about you not approving them? And then they will think that you are hiding things from them. Or maybe they would think that you posted up statuses talking bad about them. Yada yada yada.

That is just life, some say you should be feeling grateful bcs people realise you still exist. Unfortunately, they are not beneficial to you. So, now, you dont know what to do? You didnt want them to check or basically turn all psycho and suddenly they know every single thing about you?

Here's some simple steps. Let me tell you how I did it.


First and foremost, create a friendlist.
Really now is the most suitable time for you to learn about this, go godek-godek your account now. It is so worth your time. It comes in handy when the situation I described above happens out of sudden. Trust me. Say if you dont like yr classmate checking on your statuses, keep liking ALL of yr photos be it pretty or you being vain, so create a friendlist called AVOID. As the list tells it, when the people you wanna avoid adds you up, you can approve them BUT BEFORE THAT, add them to the list first.
Click Account > Edit Friends > + Create a list button (on middle right top corner)


Secondly, set the privacy as you please.
You want to hide that friend's inappropriate "Weh mana link mamat separuh bogel kau ckp td tu? Bak ah" wallpost bcs you are afraid that yr mum would find out? You dont want that weird guy to check all of yr photos and who knows, might transfer them into his phone? Not so delightful comment for decent friends to read?

To hide wallposts from certain someone, 

Click Account > Privacy Settings > Customise Settings (middle below) 
> Go to the "Things others share" section 
> Check out the "Can see Wall posts by friends" part


You dont want anyone to post crappy things that develop a sense of insecurities in you? Here,

Click Account > Privacy Settings > Customise Settings (middle below) 
> Go to the "Things others share" section 
> Dont click "Enable" button on "Friends can post on my wall" box


Wanna hide certain albums that you think is private and make them go all judgmental on you?

Click Account > Privacy Settings > Customise Settings (middle below) 
> Go to the "Things I share" section 
> Click the "Edit privacy settings" for existing photo albums and videos



Third, ALL THE LINES IN RED SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WITH THIS STEP. Make sure you set the AVOID group into all the respective settings Ive said as above.
If you want to hide personal albums from the people in the AVOID group, make sure the AVOID group is listed in the "Hide from" section.


Forth, go back to the Customise Settings section and click the Preview My Profile button on top right corner.
Well just like when you answered yr SPM papers, you double checked all the answers right? To see if your answers answered the questions asked. Same concept here. Double check. For instance, you put Ali in the AVOID list already. So go to "Preview how your Profile appears to a specific person" and type out ALI in the box there and click enter. 

Click to view in better pixels.

See how your page looks like to him if he checks out yr page. Satisfied? No? He can still view the post you didnt want him to see? Kindly go back to step 2 and repeat :)

And the rest? Do yourself a favor and check them all out ;)

I am now officially a happy kid. Less drama to cause insecurities in this drama-less life of mine.

All these hustle and bustle are of course, worth every penny of your time. HA HA. Penny, really Lea? But if you think that certain someone is just not worth wasting your time setting all the privacies, just delete them out of your Facebook life and block them. It sounds mean, but that might be the best thing to do.
