Short-changed by Maxis?

I got annoyed by Maxis again, this time it’s two things, first they offered blue forms -1000 Maxis shares to their active postpaid members (serving tenure more than 5 years) but if you are in the family plan, the principal owner get’s that blue form. The rest of us in the plan that has been using it for the past 10 years don’t get anything! Don’t tell me I’m not eligible because I use to get calls from them for loyal members stuff. So where is the fairness in that? At least if they allocate more lots to a family plan we wouldn’t feel short-changed by using the family plan!

It’s a benefit from maxis that we can’t enjoy just because we signed up for a family plan, and this benefit does not come every day ok! Of course it’s not confirmed that we get the shares but the chances are higher when you get the blue form, else we just have to apply the usual Offer Shares using the WHITE Application Form, Electronic Share Application or Internet Share Application under the Maxis IPO. But I have lost interest; after all, it’s quite highly prices RM5.20 per share…but my dad on the other hand is interested and he lost his chance because of the damn family plan…he is not entitled to the blue form!

Ok next, the second reason I'm pissed with them; I am actively using my mobile to access internet this days, doesn’t help that all the wireless around me ‘WSD Hotspotz’ or ‘maxis’ has “no gateway reply” or “wlan not found” when its detected…it’s like they unhooked the phone line and left the modem on! – don’t bother having a wireless around if people can’t use it! And I don’t even know where to complain about this because it’s free...so we don’t get to complain? This goes to many other places with so called “free wireless” around…they mostly don’t work!

Anyways, I was saying, so yeah I have been using the 3G internet via maxis and it’s damn expansive so I called them up and asked them to put me up for the RM58 plan. Guess what…I can’t!! because my mum, the principal holder has to go in there and do it or write a letter that I am allowed to do that, what are we in fifth grade? I am the one paying the damn bills! Check the payment method lar…it’s ok to charge my credit card to it with my name on it but I can’t make any changes to my account??! Ok at least... when we signed up for the plan, tell the principal owner all this so that she gives her consent to all of us at that point and it is noted in the system that we can change what we want to change anytime and not be subjected to this fifth grade treatment! I can’t even activate my roaming because of this (as per my last post on this topic)

I gave them a blasting over the phone but it doesn’t help much since I still have to get my mum to write in, or just get myself out of this family plan! Damn annoying! gonna get myself a prepaid for my overseas trip, since it's roaming is automatically activated...ermm Celcom or Digi?

Psychometric profiling @ Work...

I took this Psychometric profiling - Personal Profile Systems (DiSC). This is what I am at work [read WORK only ok]; I think it’s kinda true… And guess what I am a D & C which makes me fall under a “Creative” in the Classical Profile Patterns.

My “D” was at the highest scale i.e. at 7, what is D you might ask...its “Dominance” --> This person emphasizes on shaping the environment by overcoming opposition to accomplish results.

This person’s tendencies include:
-Getting immediate results [yes!!]
-Causing action [depends on the work too]
-Accepting challenges [yeahhhh]
-Making quick decisions [true!]
-Questioning the status quo [yupp]
-Taking authority [only when necessary…]
-Managing trouble [only when there’s no one else to do it..hehe]
-Solving problems [this I do]

This person drives in an environment that includes:
-Power and authority
-Prestige and challenge [true true true]
-Opportunities for individual accomplishments [exactly!]
-A wide scope of operations
-Direct answers [yeah don’t beat around the bush, I don’t have time for it!]
-Opportunities for advancement [of course!]
-Freedom from control and supervision [definitely, like I so don’t need it!]
-Many new and varied activities [the more the merrier!]

This person needs other’s who:
-Weigh pro’s and con’s
-Calculate risks [like I don’t do enough? Hmm]
-Use caution
-Create a predictable environment
-Research facts
-Deliberate before deciding
-Recognize the needs of others

To be more efficient this person needs:
-To receive difficult assignments [yup..I need challenge!]
-To understand that they need people
-To base techniques on practical experience [of course!]
-To receive and occasional shock
-To identify with a group
-To verbalize reasons for conclusions [this is true – learning from my previous bosses, everything has to be clear and documented!]
-To be aware of existing sanctions
-To pace self and relax more. [I thought I relax a lot? but good to know! =)]

Well the "C" stands for “Conscientiousness” -->Emphasis is on working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy. No need to elaborate on this, it was a 5 on the scale of 1 to 7.

My “I - Influence” & “S - Steadiness” was the lowest...Which was kinda expected since I don’t do much talking / chatting / mingling around the office.

As for the creative pattern (the mix of D & C)
Emotions: accepts aggressions; restrains expression
Goal: dominance, unique accomplishments
Judges others by: personal standards; progressive ideas for accomplishing tasks
Influences others by: ability to pace development of systems and innovative approaches
Value to the organization: initiates or designs changes
Overuses: bluntness; critical or condescending attitude
Under pressure: becomes bored with routine work; sulks when restrained; acts independently
Fears: lack of influence; failure to achieve their standards
Would increase effectiveness through: warmth; tactful communication; effective team cooperation; recognition of existing sanctions.

This results can change each time you take the test, but for me, at the moment, it describes me almost perfectly! Well those who knows me well enough, you'd know which trait fits me well...

Cuci the Musical...

I went for Cuci the Musical preview (free tix!!) last Thursday 22 Oct 09, apart from starting the show one hour late! (due to technicals difficulties) the rest was good...It was so good that I wanna go again..yeah I'm paying for the second round...and of course a better seat...yes it's expansive as some may say that I'm wasting money, but if people can pay hundreds for an International Concert, why not support your own industry when you know it's good..isn't it? So we don't mind paying for a good show..you'll be laughing like 90% of the time throughout the show...

*and of course I met the whole kutom there...relatives...:)

Here's our free tix...



Thanks Myra & Azizi..!


Elaine, me & the rest of us there..

Deprived of ?

So..two person here at the office commented on my appearance today, they said I look like I just woke up! I asked “why?”…they say that my eyes gives it away…ok to tell the truth I had a good 8 hours sleep, how is it I look like Sh*t today? I don’t get it! Siap put on make up today same as yesterday, which looked good yesterday (so they say)..so can’t be make up’s fault kan? I even went jogging last night (ni saja nak mention!) huhu

Well one thing for sure I was annoyed when I woke up today because I was actually dreaming that I was having beriyani (so much for the no rice diet thing I started on Sunday, baru 5 days!)..I was actually dreaming that I was eating it..sebelum masuk mulut my sis, nat was banging on the room door asking me to open it! Damn.. kacau betul! terus bad mood and now it show in the eyes & face..!

So what’s a quick fix nie? I wouldn’t wanna be looking like orang baru bangun the whole day…hmm

p/s Can’t wait for tonite! It’s gonna be a good nite!

The one with the Women Bosses...

DO WOMEN MAKE GOOD BOSSES?

Gabby: I have another interesting topic for your blog Shaz: DO WOMEN MAKE GOOD BOSSES?
My answer is hell no!!


Shaz: And why is that? I’d like to think I make a good boss someday.. :D
But yeah, I prefer the guy bosses…


Gabby: Because women are emotional creatures!! If they had a rough morning, you’re a goner! If they didn’t get laid last night, you’re a goner! If they kena marah ngan laki depa earlier that day, you’re a goner! If she woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you’re a goner! If she just feels like being a bitch that day, you’re a goner!! Need I say more?

Myzara: Heyyyyyy im a good boss tau!!!! But its not easy to be a boss!! Each one of them expect different things from u..so nak puas kan hati everyone its imposible!!

Shaz: Erm..so ur saying that if u become the boss one day, this is how you’ll be?

Gabby: I honestly don’t know. I’d like to say ‘no’ that I won’t be like that but sigh..this scares me..imagine a female boss with PMS..oh dear god!!. Myzara.. You’re perhaps 1 in 50 la kot Myzara..the ones I’ve encountered is..well..I think I shall bleep out the word…lolss!

Shaz: Gabby… I don’t want to be that, I can try not to be that & I think I am not that…but you can only know when you’re a boss…

But one thing’s sure, if I am in a bad mood they’d better know to stay away from me, but then again, if I am angry at a certain someone, not necessarily the other person is gonna get it, I think I know how to switch on and off too..but I can’t be too sure!


Gabby: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Women are unpredictable creatures. They’re emotional. It just takes something small to trigger the ‘BITCH ALERT’..

Myzara: Im not like that at all..if aku had a very bad morning I won’t let it out to my staff..but I’ll let ot out kat my hubby!!! Hahahahah!!!

Gabby: That’s no good either. Men are different. They have the ability to leave their problems at the door the minute they step into office. It’s a good thing to not have too much feelings oso la kan?

Shaz: I have had a few women bosses, some are good n some aren’t, but they do have mood swings and all that, when they’re good, they’re really really nice, when they’re bad, gosh…from the scary face, the tantrums, the screaming to staff and the extra workloads comes in…they are good in passing on their stress to others, like it’s contagious! hahaha

Gabby: Precisely my point..so bottom-line is: WOMEN DO NOT MAKE GOOD BOSSES.

Shaz: Well, we will just have to learn that ability that men have about leaving their problems & feelings at the door when they step into the office and work it! We’ll have to learn to be a professional, we can just let feelings overtake us…it’s not good for women and our jobs.

I think those who realize the importance of this makes a good boss – women boss..not all women bosses are a bit*hes! Not fair!


Myzara: Yaaa..it not fair at all!!!

Gabby: The ones I’ve encountered so far didn’t impress me one bit..semua garang macam singa when they’re stressed!

Myzara: Same here..I know how to control it..I’m doing sales lg byk strees..from my bosses la..staff la..target la.. etc etc..the pressure I just can’t describe through words..but I only will marah the person yg patut kena saja...I won’t suka2 let go my anger to everyone..have to respect depa juga la..tp sapa yg buat salah..they’ll know la nnt!!

Shaz: Yeah I agree, when sometimes when we are nice, staff can sit on our heads, sometimes we have to show them who’s boss too..and if they deserve the scolding, hey..they juz deserve it!

Myzara: Yaaaa…kadang2 sampai rasa nak bg sepak to all these *** b**t*rds!!!! And I’ll get very fast irritated if they ask me stupid question yg anak aku pun tau jawap!!

Anyway so just hope that you all will be a good boss…you know that what type of boss that you all dok maki semua selalu..so if you be a boss one day don’t be like the boss that you always maki tuh cause u know nnt ur staff will do & feel the same way like you..


This conversation is based on our 6-8 years experience in the working world...I'm sure there are good women bosses out there too. I have been under a few women bosses and I have adapted well with them, off course there are those occasional tantrums too but no that bad, you can say it's expected!. There are those scary women bosses around too, thank God I never had to report to them, well looking at those kinda bosses makes me realize that I don't want to be that. I'd like to think I would make a good boss someday, insyallah.

Just thinking, if a guy were to have posted this I'm sure all the gurls out there would give him hell, but it's ok for gurls to post and talk about it hahaha! Just like when Arif told me (after calling me fat) that "it's ok for fat people to call fat people Fat!" anyone else did it...they would get hell! huhu

the one about LRM ...

Talking about the recent engagement of that someone and this came up (LRM - love, relationships & marriage..) there were four in the mail conversation; Gabby, Myzara, FN & I, FN was silent all along, so here it goes...

Gabby: Hmmm..kawen duda yang kaya is definitely security for a girl for now and future..but is it real love?

Shaz: I dun believe in real love…so nope..NO! huhu

Myzara: I don’t know wat to answer..eemmmm..no komen

Gabby: You don’t? Actually I also don’t anymore. But then, how to have children if we don’t find real love? Myzara.. U no need to answer lah..hang dah kawen dah beranak pinak..nak pi honeymoon utk kali ke 127 pulak tu lagi nak kata no komen

Shaz: U can have children without love..it’s all in the niat! Niat kalo dah betul…juz maybe love will find its way..but I’m not counting on it..

Myzara: Aku sgt setuju dgn shaz..soo cleaver!!! Blum kawin tapi dia dah pandai!! hAhahahah!! The reason I said no comment is because I don’t know whether the “real love” tuh wujud x after kawin!!..each of u nnt bz kerja then bz pasai anak sometimes u’ll forget ur responsibility as a wife cause ur too bz with ur kids and ur spending more time with them..entahla..for me before marriage & after is totally 2 different feelings!!

Gabby: But Shaz, if you are not counting on it then that means you don’t believe in love and if you don’t believe in it, then love will not find you. Go and read ‘The Secret’ lah..
I want 5 kids..so I better get a move on la kan


Shaz: I can still want marriage and want kids, if loves find its way in, it’s just bonus to me!

Gabby: How can you marry someone you don’t love?

Shaz: Can..it happens all the time, grow into love or not, that’s not the reason I’m getting married, sunnah nabi, mengembangkan zuriat, so if I find someone enough to make me happy, terime je lah (depending on my state of mind at that time jugak la…I have to like the person a bit lah....

It’s also for companionship, now I dun need it yet, but when I do, it doesn’t have to be love coz & since I dun believe in it! Love doesn’t guarantee that the marriage will last either, so why bother? If you can tolerate each other its good enough. Tp hati kena terbuka la to get into this..I know I’m not there yet..I’m educating myself..huhu

What say u the people who have been married?


Gabby: I agree to a certain extend as in you gotta like the person a little bit to want to marry them..coz can be nurtured. Kalau jumpa a guy and fall head over heels in love with him lepaih tu nak kawen even better lah but I don’t think I’ll ever find that sort of love again after ‘the moron’!

My mother keeps saying “marry a guy who loves you but not someone you love”. I don’t think that’s right. That’s called ‘playing it safe’ and I won’t do that. I need to be slightly into him to want to make that big a commitment. Marriage is supposed to be for life (we pray and hope lah!) but if we don’t have any feelings for them but choose to marry them anyways, then it’s just plain selfish. By then if you have any problems, u would even bother to talk things through or work it out..coz we would have taken the guy for granted

FN and Myzara is just sitting back and watching us merepek about this topic lah..they have no comment (bak kata Myzara) hahaha!


Shaz: Heh my mum says, “marry a guy who loves you more than you love him” , playing it safe or not, the age is catching up and if you want kids, that you’ve gotta make a decision, it just boils down to what you want in life, prioritizing…but I don’t know, there’s no right & wrong about this, it’s really up the each individual lar.. Btw, if u choose to be with the guy, u can’t be selfish, you have got to make the marriage work…even ppl who loves/loved before too have to do work to make a marriage work…

Yup..they are enjoying the merepek-ing session..huhu


Gabby: Marry a guy who loves you MORE than you love him is right..not marry a guy who loves you and you don’t love him. Yes age is catching up..I gotta make a decision fast. I’m going to pursue my MBA or PhD or work some more..the rest..well..dunolah hahah!

Myzara: Off course after u kawin, u will love ur husband..so based on that love and continue ur life with him lah..in a relationship is very simple..don’t complicate it! Just do want u want..that’s all!!

Gabby: Kalau lepaih kawen pun tak love jugak, then how? Get a divorce?

Shaz: Cross that bridge when you get there, if divorce is your fate, so be it! But you shouldn’t make it an option from the beginning…

Gabby: Hmm..I’m liking the way you think and talk Shaz. You’re quite smart la after all..

Myzara: Then pasaipa taknak kawin without any love??? I mean as long as ada love in the relationship ok la..dont concentrate too much on that..there’s more important things in relationship other then real love.

The MOST important thing as husband and wife is tolerance.. whether the guy can tolerate with us or not..xdak nie..ABISSS!!!!!!! trust me!!

one of it : kita nie darah mamak..temper..so whether that guy boleh terima kita punya kepala angin or not is also very important!! In marriage bukan love saja penting tau kaa Gabby ooiiii.. there are lots of things that plays an important part in marriage life!!

Gabby: What could be more important than love?

Shaz: Pls unhook from walt Disney & all the chick flicks & look beyond it, those who were soo deeply in love are no longer in love, those who got married just because they were in love got divorced, so niat tu penting, love is there, you just have to appreciate the way or the nature of how you receive it. Not everyone gets the same romantic love story type of love, there’s a lot of other definations to it too…

Love is not everything, happiness & joy is more important, you don’t have to be in love to be happy. It’s all in the mind.


Myzara: Love saja boleh bg makan? love saja can make u happy? If there’s love but selalu dok gaduh mcm anjing & kucing macam mana?

Gabby: I know love is a lot of work. But I’ll need to love him too. Kalau he saja love me but I don’t feel the same way, then it work wont. And I wouldn’t be bothered to compromise..

Shaz: It goes back to what u want...what if there isn’t anyone out there that u cud love, then what happens? Like that story with the kid that’s suppose pick up a good grass at the field n came back with none because he thot if he walked up further, he could get a better one, but realized what he left behind was the best ones…so what the point if ur gonna be old and lonely & realize that you have wasted your life in the end when you could have at least had a chance at having a family..?

If there is a good grass along your way, pick it up and learn to love it. Its because its good that u picked it up in the first place..


Myzara: Off course-la u need to love him too tp jgn dok berangan pasai real love nie semua..it will develop by its own..u cannot be sitting down and just wait for the real love to come..as long as u ada the feeling of love towards him..ok lah..but 1st of all u have to put that “moron” out of ur mind 1st!! life have to go on..he has his own life now and so do u!!

I think I'll stop here, Love can be somewhat important but not necessarily a must, tolerance and responsibility is more important to me...Gabby's a commitment phobic I think! thinking too much...Anyone with any thoughts other than this? feel free to share! huhu
