Perempuan itu ketuaku.. Aku Ketua Mereka?

What do you think of lady bosses?

I am currently in charge of organizing a very big event for my division, hence requiring a lot of planning and devotion towards making it a success. In this, I have to compliment myself and the rest of the team members, who are mostly ladies. We are one hardworking lass!

However, there is this certain lady boss who I can’t get along with (probably since Langkawi when she indirectly told me that I am slow).

During one of the meeting last week, we quarrel over simple issue like the seating arrangement for dinner. Of course both of us were trying to have our point across, and it didn’t matter to me that this lady is a Senior Manager in the company. Whilst everyone else did not have the gut to speak their mind, I became the only one vocal against the whole idea. Then came the interruption from the chairman (btw, it was very professional so none of the girlie-fight you see on tv).

I sat down and had a long thought after that as I looked at this lady who sits across me. “Would this be myself in 10-15 years from now?”

Lady boss are such a pain some time, or some might say a lot of time. But probably it is just typical that people stereotype ladies who have made it into that higher position? Boys, we are not too bad of a boss, really! Open up your mind.

I had my whole life flashes in front of me, and currently as the ‘boss’ of a certain organization in the company, I never did ask my team on whether I have been an agonizing torture to them. I must say that I am very demanding, but I do work hard along with them. I expect excellence, but who doesn’t.

I try to hide my seriousness by making silly jokes at time. A camouflage to disguise the fact that I do not like to be labeled a typical lady boss. But do they respect me?

So, what kind of a lady boss have I been, or would be in the future?

Bersihkan Halaman Rumah Anda Dahulu...

The coalition party wobbled over the appointment of the new Perak MB, and yesterday, PKR expresses dissatisfaction over the composition of the Perak state exco, wherein 8 seats are given to DAP and another 2 to the other parties.

To whoever it may concern,
Can you come to a consensus and decide in the best interest of the state, instead of your own party? When the Sultan asked for the candidates for the post of Perak MB, the three spokeperson for the party has earlier mention that they will accept the decision of the Sultan on who he deems fit to become the MB. Later, we learn that the top gun in DAP has instructed his committee to boycott the swearing in.

Ok, let’s see the big picture here.

First the Perak Mentri Besar swearing-in is called off. What can you expect next? They’ll boycott whichever meetings being chaired by then-MB?

Get your grip together guys. Whatever bright picture I have painted here at the back of my mind, has suddenly been clouded by this scenario. Shrewd. Geez… Now the Perak-ians will think, “Did I choose the right reformation?”.

Clean up your backyard!

On another note…

Who’s the smart one here? Surely it’s not the BN (although they are now laughing on their sofa eating popcorn while watching the mini-sinetron by the BA)…
It’s definitely my most handsome, intelligent, articulate Sultan Azlan Shah.

He wanted to know how the 3 parties are planning to make this coalition work, and he tested them with his selection of MB from PAS (which gain the lowest state seat of only 6, as opposed to 7 by PKR and 18 seats by DAP). His intuition pays off, and these DAP was not smart enough to read his plan. It’d be interesting to see what the Sultan has in plan next.

Pendapatku Ttg Pilihan Raya

So, the opposition is no longer the opposition, hence opening a new chapter of the country’s democratic excellence.

I won’t summarise much of what you may have heard or read in the tabloid, through various discussions (where you have actively participate or just a mere observer taking notes of other people’s genuine interest to the oh-so-interesting topic), or from the pleasant viewing of the news on the electronic mode. All in all, BN won by simple majority, lost in 5 states (namely Kelantan, Perak, Selangor, Penang and Kedah) and Pak Lah is again the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

I couldn’t exercise my right to vote eventhough I did register during one of those road shows in Suria KLCC (maybe I don’t fit that right profile of a voter) and wasn’t even bothered to seek justice to the inadequacy of the system to recognize me. But soon after, I regretted the fact that I did not.

I seriously thought that this election would be the routine electorate where in the end, BN would yet again prevail as the power of dominance. The result shocked me… but I was glad.

It shows that the people have bravely spoken their mind, and they wanted changes to happen right this instant. Perhaps this would open a great journey for the ramification of the government who is willing to provide more for its people. Perhaps after this, you could envisage the head to head Clinton-Obama debacle showdown happening to our very own BN vs BA leader. Perhaps it is a start to a better Malaysia as the current government sees the need to gain the trust of the people, and their promise to serve as the better ruling party. Lots of perhaps to this great post-election that I can already envision.

It’d be more interesting to see how new laws will get passed the legislature sitting, as there will more constructive feedback from 1/3 of the opposition (and I do hope its constructive instead of reenacting the hopeless effort of a 5-year old trying to piss off their parent) . There will be new initiative, and lesser laws imposed to silently kill the people (like tolls, petrol, etc).

Let’s just wait and see.

Other things on my mind:
1. Hoping that the stock market will show great improvement, after the sudden decline post- result
2. Anwar taking over the Lembah Pantai parliamentary seat
3. BN won 15 seats by slim margin of less than 200 votes. I wonder if those who didn’t manage to exercise their right to vote now feel somber pain
4. Independent who has decided to take sides after their triumphant (1 is joining PKR, and today, Tanah Rata’s Ho might return to MCA)
5. My babe Iddelz who was thinking of setting up her own party in 10 years to come. You go babe.


And on another note:
Clinton as the President? Obama as the Vice President?
Reverse that?
Wouldn’t US be a better country?
