Episode 9: 2 Sides To Every Story. Yours & The Truth.

Yess ahhh... Joe is back again after a short break. Feeling tired from doing work but this show must go on! Cheeeh.... BUT SERIOUSLY i'M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT!? Help me out guys, I need some new topics to talk about...

Last week all I heard was flowthru this, flowthru that. So & so cages and stock up this and that... Really stressful times! Fortunately, I was a bit lucky cause all the flowthru arrived after my shift. Some were not so lucky as me. Come to work only, got flowthru... I pity them lah... But I see that they are trying their best, so keep up the good work!

Its sad to see and hear what people had to say about Aishah. Whats wrong with you guys? Come on ah guys, be a little fair to her. She only human and she has feelings too. Yes, she did not come to work and everybody had to work that much harder to cover for her but she was really sick. Did you know she called me up during my off day to talk regarding this matter? She didn't know who to call, and after being told off by Faris, she called me. She seemed confused about the whole thing and didn't know what to do...

Oh yeah, Fadhil and Herty officially had their first real argument. End up, Herty leaving the store earlier than expected. I listened to Fadhil's side of the story and Herty's side of the story as well. Haiz... kalau dah dua-dua tak nak mengalah, nak kasi macam mana kan?

Happy! My old manager decided to drop by the store to visit me & Faris. Its been a while since I last saw him so I was very surprised. We talked about old times and he looks great. He said that the company still owes him some money and that he would going to Cambodia to work with his brother. I think if he was still in charge, we wouldn't have all this problems.

At first, my manager wanted me out of that place, now shes being all nice to me and trying to help me out whenever she can. What is happening dah?! Now I'm the one confused...

Did you know that I went to the same primary school as Diana and the same secondary school as Herty? What a coincidence seh!

I added a couple of new songs for the old mp3 player. Some new and classic tracks for me to listen to when I'm feeling stressed out. Anybody wants to listen??

Finally... Is that a Manchester United jersey you got on? It looks nice on you but you do know that Manchester United sucks right? If it was a Liverpool jersey, it would be much better! Haha.... I was just joking!

Until the next episode,

Joe

Self Reflection

My 26 years on planet earth... Wow... This not going to be easy but I'll try. So far, its been OK for me up till now. But if I was being completely honest, I'd say it could have or should have been better. Why am I saying this? Because I know that I deserve more than what what I'm getting right now!

Personally, I wish my family were a little more closer than they are now. Its OK right now but I wish it could be better. I love each and everyone of them to bits but I can't help but compare other families to mine when I see other families having a great time. Am I wrong to do so?

My love life is getting nowhere because I have been guilty of flirting from Girl A to Girl Z. I got to stop doing this! I don't remember the last time I had a serious relationship with a girl. So people, please stop asking me when I'm getting married... Cause I myself don't know when it will happen! Hopefully the "ONE" will turn up soon because the one I like might not be the one I love...

Professionally, work has been good and bad for me. Sure its not the greatest job in the world but I do work there and I still like doing it. I know I should aim abit higher but does that mean I have to do something that I really don't like? I respect your opinion but I'll make the final decision regarding this matter. And who is the one who has been saying bad things behind my back?! Why can't you say it to my face?! I swear, don't ever let me find out it was YOU...

Recently I've been hearing this alot," Ju, kau OK tak? Marah ke? Merajuk ke..." What do you want from me? I say I'm OK but I get asked the same question again. Look, I don't get mad, I get Even.

Dear God, please give me the strength to carry on cause I'm starting to lose my way here...

END

What did I get?

Every year when my birthday comes around, I usually don't expect to get anything. Which is fine by me cause I don't expect much. But, this year I got something from my dad! I can't remember the last time he gave me anything for my birthday so this was a surprise... Thanks for the present dad, I like it very much!

What Juraimi Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Episode 8: Bada- BING, Bada- BOOM!

Oh man... what a week! I was over-worked and now I feel like I don't want to do anything else but sleep! Yes... sleep is good. Zzz.... On positive note, this week wasn't as bad as last week so Yayy for that! Actually, I wanted to title this entry as " Feeling down? Lets emo together!" as I found out some things happened while I was away. Stories I don't think I'll share because I want to respect other people's privacy. Sorry....

Like the title says, that's what happened to the Slurpee machine yesterday when I was working with Diana. Not once, but TWICE! Bummer man... Floor got all sticky and wet. Forgot how many times we had to mop the floor yesterday. But personally, I think we did a great job with the store despite what happened. Oh and before I forget, I must thank Diana for getting the stocks from the container. "Thank You!" Please ignore what I said yesterday... I really appreciate your help. Sorry...

We say goodbye to Hariati this week. That was fast. I didn't even get the chance to work with her seh... Whats up with that?! Has everybody met Kala yet? Seems like a nice person and all but I don't like her. I got a bad experience from working with Indian females before. Sorry...

This week I hanged out with my Bradah(Faris) and Evil Twin(Zaky). It wasn't planned or anything but it just happened I guess. Dirty jokes, ogling at hot girls and good food equals good time. Although it wasn't long, I enjoyed every minute of it. We have to do it again some time!

Until the next episode...

Joe- Dee, do you still the remember the book you borrowed me some time back? Do you still want it? Sorry lah... takde time nak baca. Let me know OK?

Episode 7: Relationship Problems?

Before I start, just need to inform you that this is just my opinion. Whether you take it seriously or not is up to you... When you're ready, please read on...

Okay, so now you find yourself in relationship with the person you really like. Best couple of months of your life. Everything is going perfect until the both of you have your first real argument. If you manage to solve this early then good for you, but if you don't, be prepared for days, weeks or even worse, months of emoing by yourself.

To prevent this, you just need to talk to someone you trust. A friend, a family member or anyone who is close to you. It really helps to ease the tension you're feeling right now. But, never ever keep it to yourself. Being stubborn in this situation won't help you at all.

Firstly, find out what went wrong. Was it something you said or was it something they did? Is it his fault or hers? If it was yours, be prepared to take the blame and apologize for it. If it was hers, I believe you should forgive but never forget. Trust is also important in any relationship. Trust in your partner and they will trust you back. If he hasn't called or messaged you for a while, assume that he might be busy with something. Don't jump to conclusions! Finally, there should be a balance in your relationship. Let him or her share their free time with their friends. Don't be so possessive! You can"t keep them to yourself because before you came along, they had a life too!

Alright, if all else fails then I guess it might be the end of the road for you guys. Listen, theres no point in continuing the relationship if you keep arguing about small little things. Bottom line is this, girls want undivided love and attention whereas guys wants understanding and freedom. Have you been able to provide that? Honesty also helps. Ask your partner if they are happy being with you. If the answer is no, then you know what you have to do.

Episode 6: The Staff Meeting Part 2!

Yup, it happened again. And it surprised a lot of people because nobody was expecting it. Anyways, the manager thought that since everyone, well almost actually... was there so she decided to have one. As usual, she talked about happenings in and around the store. Some good and some bad. Then she started to talk about her own staff. I hate it when she does that! Why? Because my name will be brought up with Faris. And it happened again today... Shit! She kept looking at my direction evertime she praised Faris. I was going like,"Whatever !@#$%" inside my head. Come on lah, what are you trying to do?! Sick and tired of this already...

Diana wasn't safe either. She was accused of not doing work by the manager. She tried to defend herself but in the end it dosen't even matter. You just don't win an argument against the manager. The manager says shes hiring more staff so she dosen"t anyone to slack off or in her own words become a "spare tyre" or something like that. I'm confused now... So what?! I'll give them a month or so before they quit. Before the meeting ended, she announced that Herty and Faris are her new Second Liners. Just one word, "Shock".

Later, me, Faris and Diana chilled out at the container area. We find out that the new guy, Wan is a childhood friend of Diana. Me & Faris wonder how come anybody that we know never come to work with us. Lucky for her I guess... First Zaki and now Wan. Next who?

To Be Continued...

Episode 5: I Almost Give Up!

Another week has gone by without me noticing it. What have I been doing?! Oh! That's right, I was working again... Self-declaration: I Officially Have No Life! So sad but true. Again, very busy at work because certain people decided to get "sick". Which means, I had to extend my working hours to help out at the store. Luckily, I got much needed help from certain friends of mine. So thanks to those who helped out... You made it much more bearable. You know who you are!

The Metro & MPH sale is now going on at Expo. I heard that there are some great deals available. Shopping anyone?

Ever since working the morning shift, I have been hanging out with Herty quite a lot. I find her to be a very fun person. She's very outspoken & has a couple of things to say about certain people at the store. But she feels like nobody likes her. I wonder why...

I want to take this time to say sorry to Diana. I'm really sorry for shouting at you. I didn't mean to do that. I was just tired. Hope you understand. I was being unfair to you and I apologise.

My brother wants me to help him buy a PS3. Last time I had to buy him a PS2. Where got time? Anyway, I'll go buy it for him. Question is when?
