Smart Society..are we?

Ran out of puke to throw up listening to the wedding of an artist back home. Was it necessary to make it that big, I mean real huge! Fine, you are an icon and it was your greatest day … but again with all the hype and publicity, spotlight and exposure, coverage and shit…(arrgghh , I need to puke again..)
Back on vacation last month, all I heard on media, other than rape cases and sick bomoh molesting customer, was the fairy tale of this artist and her grand marriage. Ironic, it was aired live on tube as if all of us were devotees of hers…give me a break! In all fairness, media was also to be blamed for exploiting them.
For me, what it was, is just an ordinary marriage of a desperate 'if-not-would have-been-andartu' artist with an old chap who I assumed is a firm advocate of variety & viagra. That was that. Oh well..selamat hingga ke anak cucu.
And another hit sensation, was the break off of an artist and his cheap-publicity-seeker fiancé…it was also shown live on TV! These two events were covered at national level, and the sickest part of this was the statistic showing millions glued to their TV watching either one of these two sick events.
Now, talk about smart society we are!

Woozy

Finally weekend is here, cannot wait!
I hate first day in office after a long vacation! It’s zillion times worst than Monday blues. Forget the jetlag, I got in the office quite early, thought of checking on my accumulated emails thronging the inbox before other colleague came in, but dang…I forgot my password... it was waaayyy much later that I finally got it right (that was after trillion attempts). Cleaned up my desk and put all papers in order in between greeting collegues, phew .. in this part of the world, do not expect a short greeting of “hi, welcome back”. Not before I really settle down, bosses called in for discussions, meeting, follow up, clarification and what not... (shit.. I felt as if there was a plot among them to brain-fucking people on the first day they came back from vacation just for heck of it!). I was practically leaping from one meeting to another and before I knew it, it was passed 5.00pm. It was busy busy busy and adding to this, the company was fucking chasing me for our “buddy’ who not only left the company but leaving some shits with the landlord and utilities company too! I was hauled up to settle the mess, I was like fuck, do I care?.. but a good man I am, I was shoving my neck in to settle the problem. That went on until today…finally.

I still have hundreds of unread email that I have to go through..
