There are two types of people living in this world. One are those who we can define as genuinely nice people and the other one are those who are being pretentiously nice to other people. The ones that I'm trying to avoid are the ones in number two. But, how can I actually define them either way?
Someone genuine can actually pretending in being genuine and someone pretentious, well they are definitely pretending. But to differentiate these two little behaviors are somehow rather difficult.
Frankly speaking, I can be a little bit of both and I'm sure you too! This is where judging the book by its cover applies.
Taking my boss as an example. The first few days of signing in with the company, I have been warned by most of the staff to always be patience while handling my boss regardless of anything. Even till today, I'm still been warned to work patiently with my boss. I heard so many things about her. Mainly about her past. How she handles most of her ex-assistant. To come to my suprise, I was the only one who survive her more than 3 months working under her for the fact that I am a Malay (she has issues with Malays don't ask me why). But to me, she is a very nice person. And she is someone whom I labelled as a genuinely nice person. She's fussy; very fussy and strict in term of work ethics. A middle age unmarried lady, what more can you expect. But once you get to know her, she is indeed a very nice lady.
But the problem occures when you have to start dealing with the pretentious people acted super nice in front of you but being a super bitch behind your back. Siap boleh mengata pulak tu. Lumrah, memang lumrah manusia untuk mengata di belakang. Hendak berterus-terang? Bukit Antarabangsa runtuh sekali lagi pun belum tentu berani. But thats human. People who doesn't have the balls to talk right in front of your face. Kalau boleh diputarbelitkan, memang sanggup diputarbelitkan.
Hypocrites to some may call it. But I don't blame them for being hypocrite. Hypocrite is needed in life. One has to be one so that others won't feel offended by their actions, terasa hati, to keep the pride that one has left and etc. But people tend to act overly with hypocrisy. The unforgivable ones.
Sudah lari topic dah ni!
But what I want to say is that, stop being pretentious. I mean, there is nothing wrong with being you. The real you. People will accept you for who you are regardless of anything for any of that matter. There is nothing wrong of being weak. Every once in awhile we need to be weak, we need to be pampered, we need to be loved and that is what family and friends are for. To help you when needed, to be there when you are falling, to guide when you lost your way.
Life is too short to waste it inappropriately. Might use it wisely with the ones who matters.
Cheers!

Kerana Dia Hebat Dan Aku Tidak
Manusia dilahirkan ke dunia ini dengan kondisi yang tidak sempurna. Sesempurna mana seseorang itu mengangap dirinya, percayalah bahawa dia tidak sempurna. Mungkin tidak dari pandangan fizikal, tetapi zahirnya dia adalah tidak sempurna.
Tidak sempurna kerana merasakan dirinya serba kekurangan. Tidak sempurna kerana merasakan dirinya tidak cemerlang. Tidak sempurna kerana merasakan dirinya telah ditindas. Tidak sempurna kerana mengangap dirinya tidak berjaya. Tidak sempurna kerana tidak pernah yakin dengan kemampuan dirinya sendiri dan tidak sempurna dengan serba-serbi kekurangan yang tidak boleh nampak dengan mata kasar tetapi dengan hanya melalui perasaannya sahaja.
Sesuatu yang dijaga beratus-ratus hari tidak bermakna ia akan menjadi milik kita untuk selama-lamanya. Sesuatu yang dipelihara dengan penuh kasih sayang bertahun-tahun lamanya tidak menjanjikan bahawa ia adalah milik mutlak. Kerana ia mampu berubah. Kerana manusia berubaha. Manusia berubah kerana mahukan pembaharuan. Manusia berubah kerana mahukan kepuasan. Manusia berubah kerana "konon-konon"nya itulah yang terbaik untuknya dan perubahan itu mampu berlaku dalam satu jangka masa yang amat singkat.
Dalam sebulan, macam-macam yang boleh berlaku. Dalam sebulan, manusia mampu merubah pendiriannya dan dalam sebulan manusia mampu merubah keputusannya.
Sesuatu yang dipelihara beratus hari usianya mampu tergugat dengan sesuatu yang baru dikenali dalam masa sebulan.
Kerana manusia berubah untuk mencari kesempurnaan.

Lets get married, shall we?!
I'm not sounding desperate, aren't I?
Anyways, cut the marriage part, lets talk about life.
It's been 5 months since I started working. I'm still learning; adapting with the real world. Trying my best to fit in the advertising industry. Getting used to it I must say. I met new people and some old faces (meeting up with an old collegue from NSTP, buat kerja ku bertambah senang) and of course, there's always the ups and downs. I'm not complaining. No, I'm not.
I like it here. I mean the place where I'm currently working. It has always been my dream to work here. Not my first choice but still in my top list of places where I want to have my experiences with. And at the age of 24, I've fulfilled quater of what I've wished for. A stable job (was confirmed as an employee of spencerAzizul Sdn Bhd on the month of September with an increment of salary and few other things that I've achieved/fulfilled). But this never stop me from working hard. I'm still young and there's a hell lot more for me to learn; to experience. And I'm learning. I do!
But this does not apply to people who think they have experienced everything that the world could offer that not need to share. So, what gives?!
What really gives?! Does it costs you trillion of dollors for you to spend to move an inch? Does it really hurt that bad for you to even work. After all, you were paid to work. So for heaven's sake, work-lah!
You shouldn't be working by now if all that you were doing is sit and play Farmwille. You should be a real farmer then. Why waste so much of your time (and mine!) and money for things that you're not going to do. If you think your life is hard, try thinking about us who receive half the amount of salary that you received monthly. We need to survive too you know, and work too!
So how's about that mista?!
p/s: You, yes you. I know you're a frequent visitor of this crappy blog of mine. So, Hello! to you =)

SATC in The Real World
I was caught up with SATC for the past few days. Thanks to HBO for constantly airing the movie that made me watched them everytime without fail. Though I've already watched them like gazillion times before but still energetically watching them. When it comes to SATC, who doesn't?! And since kakak was superly excited about it, we decided to watch the series back from season 1 to 6 via internet and ASTRO. The fever is in back again.
It's fictional, superficial and I must say, irrelevent with the reality. But the way I see it, it's not mainly about the highly standard of living with all sorts of glamorous clothes that they are potraiting. It's more to the friendship that they're bonding between the four of them. If I were to have those kind of friendship, please god, I swear I will never do wrong again.
Chop! I think I have my other three girlfriends that I could trust my life with. Though they are not similarly to the ones in the character but they are still the ones that I'll look up to whenever; where ever. And plus, I have my kind of "Mr. Big" around me. Just that we are still not married. Not yet!
We (I mean, the girlfriends), we don't really wear fashionable clothes. From where I see it, I don't think they ever will. Tidaklah kopak sangat. Just nice untuk mata memandang. Casual, I must say. We are still in the midst of building our career. We are totally not in the same line. We have our differences. We have a different taste in man; different taste in everything for that matter. We look things differently. But somehow, we connect with each other. Most importantly, they are the ones that I can trust whole-heartedly.
Telling it short, I have found my kind of Samantha, Charlotte, Carrie and Miranda. 8 years of friendship and counting.
