Pain In The Arse Colleague
A friend of mine, Vincent or better known as “Lao Chew”, is going to finish his 3 months internship in a software company in Puchong by end of this week. I do not know what had struck his mind which caused him to give me a call at 10:30PM last night. Apparently, his course mate, Alex who is also under internship in the same company with him pissed him off again yesterday when they were out to troubleshoot some problems that were faced by the company’s clients. Since it is the last week, Vincent decided not to tolerate him anymore and started to complain about Alex indirectly in the car which also pissed Alex off too.
I do not really care about Alex’s feelings because I do not know him but I do care a little bit about Vincent’s. Vincent was complaining about Alex, from head to toe, to me in the phone for 45 minutes. Even a guy has a certain level/limit of tolerance and patience, right? I just listened to him quietly, saying “Mmh” and “Yaloh” occasionally to agree with him when I was actually playing Literati with Alicia and chatting with Juliana at the same time. I even summarized what he said after he repeated the same thing again and again.
Vincent said :
01) Please do not put me into deep shit/trouble.
02) Please do not act as if every thing is none of your business.
03) Please do not run away from your responsibility and task/duty.
04) Please do not act as if nothing has happened when shit hits the fan.
05) Please do not use me as your stepping stone or shield to protect yourself.
06) Please do not show me your annoyed, irritated and f.ugly facial expression all the time.
07) Please do not ask me to be the first person to leave the office albeit it is after office hour.
08) Please do not rely on me to clear your doubts with our supervisor about your own problem.
09) Please do not take me for granted just because I have a motorbike as a mode of transportation.
10) Please do not act as if you are very busy whenever we are supposed to meet our supervisor.
11) Please be polite by saying “Goodbye” or “Thank You” to show your gratitude whenever I help you.
12) Please do not sit down there like a dumb ass or call your girl friend when I, on the other hand is busy like a bee.
13) Please do not make me look like a bad person as if only you need a nicely written report for our university by our supervisor.
14) Please be considerate and think of me when I am helping you as I do have my own plans after working hours - to go back to sleep.
15) Please do not expect me to complete your job/task that is assigned to you by our supervisor although I am willing to help/guide you.
He was repeating the above 15 points throughout the whole 45 minutes, until I could even guess what he was about to tell me. Vincent said he finally knew the true characteristic of Alex after working together for 3 months. I replied him by saying that, “you will understand a person after hanging out together for some time and there is nothing to be surprised about. Just consider yourself to be unlucky to have him as your colleague then.” Before he put down the phone, he shouted “BITCH!” (Actually, he said “Ma Hai”.) loudly and he said “Good Bye”.
Until now, I still do not understand why he scolded bitch when Alex is a male. May be this is the result, under stressed after being driven up the wall by Alex countless times. May be he found out Alex did an operation to change his sex? Nobody knows but the truth is out there. -shrugs-

When people swear they don’t really think much before cussing out the words. I have a friend who says “ma hai” at the end of almost every sentence. And he’s not even swearing at anyone!
I think people is trying to diminish the gender gap (or gender discrimination and strive for equality between sexes). That’s why it’s okay to scold a guy “bitch!”. Lol, I’m crapping la.
(P/S: You support Superman or Spiderman?)

i’m curious of what is the true definition of a bitch…
what does it really mean?
i thought “ma h*i” is a slut’s (or actually it’s Mother) vagina? like some utter it because they feel it’s dirty?-or maybe i got it wrong.
oh-no…i’m confusing myself.
emily, i hate to choose :(
but i like Spiderman more.
actually i prefer Batman, because he has no super powers. but still he is a superhero :)

dSaint : LOL. Maybe you should try complaining to dGirl first, but I don’t mind listening to you complaining about dGirl. :P
Carol : “Ma hai!” Actually it means “cunt”. “Ma” is an adjective to make the word “hai” more pronouncable.
Emily : “So, what you doing today? Ma hai~!” “Eat your lunch aldy? Ma hai~!” “Good morning, auntie and uncle! Ma hai~!” -ROTFLMAO- This is a huge problem wei! Hahaha! You got a point there, so if I mau scold a girl, “son of a bitch” is applicable lah? Oh, I prefer Spiderman. :P
Munkit : Wah lew, because of Juliana, you boycott my blog. Where is our friendship?
Venus : I once saw this on my school table.
Slut - A girl who sleeps with everyone including you.
Bitch - A girl who sleeps with everyone except you.
Haha…I honestly feel that they have explained the word “bitch” and “slut” well enough. Yeah, “ma hai” means “cunt”. But I don’t want such a vulgar word to come out in my post, so I used bitch instead. :P
Ju, we watch Batman Begins together, ok?
Ahnee : Khikhikhi~ I know you love me too! :bpbpb Ya, I 100%, comfirm, die die also will go back next weekend, ok?

ROFL!!!!!! Ummm not that exaggerated la but if not “ma hai” then some other bad words in Cantonese which I can’t even pronounce or don’t even know the meaning of. The friend even refered to a teacher as “the f***er”. Actually why do people swear ah? Do you? I don’t! (Hardly la) Haha, I’m super innocent. Yeah, Spiderman rocks!

Emily, based on my own experience, people especially guys like to swear because they think its cool. Actually, if you notice, there is a pattern. When we were little kids, we didn’t know what (insert your own foul language) they are, so we were puzzled. Usually by standard 6 and form 1, we know what they are already. We see our seniors scolding them and we think that it is cool to say those words. So, when we reach form 1 and form 2, we swear in almost every sentence, thinking that it was cool. As we reach about form 4 and form 5, we swear less. Why? We got matured and know that it doesn’t look cool at all with vulgar words coming out from our mouth. Therefore, we swear less. As we grow older, we even swear less, until can say no more. However, there are special cases like people who still swear in every sentence although they are 23 or 24 years old. Who are they? Ah Beng and Ah Lians, or those school drop out. :P
I don’t swear, Jason is a very gentleman guy. Fuh~! Hahaha! Yeah, spidey rocks!
