Diary Keeper

Written by   on   in ,   with No comments
We've received our corporate diary this week and everybody was happy with it.

The diary is really nice. Its cover is made of imitation of leather, with sewn edges. The left side is trimmed with patterns that looks like crocs skin (but of course, it's purely imitation). The color is classy, tanned brown. Everyone has something to say about the diary.

Mine, as the selector, received the sample version, which is even nicer. The pages dividers are glittering gold in color, with silver fonts typed on them. I merely pretended that I get the same diary as with everyone else's.

The diary is so nice that there are so many requests for them. However, since it is very limited editions (everyone has got theirs already, anyway), there are grudges when someone didn't get his just because someone else's name appears twice in the list HR gave to each department, and his name didn't appear in any department (how could this happen?).

One staff practically barged into my room asking for his diary because someone else has pocketed his diary instead. I had to firmly turn down his request mainly because I have distributed the diaries accordingly to each head of departments to be given to their staff. If the distribution somehow ended up with someone in his department getting TWO diaries, then is it supposed to be my fault?

I'm surprised and also amused at how they managed to turn the blame on me when the responsibility to distribute to each staff should be on HODs. They think that I should treat them like school children about to receive their food scheme (remember all those chocolate drinks we received under those scheme?) when it comes to distributing the diaries. Adoi, adoi... What sort of workplace am I working at? A kindergarten?

Even when senior managers just called up and asked for x number of diaries with the reason to distribute to business partners, I will in return, requested for the list of names of their business partners. It's tough being a diary keeper. I guard the diaries jealously. No one shall get it without me knowing the reasons why they should get more diaries than others'.

I tell you, by mid-year, everyone will forget that they have a diary. Trust me.

Johor may get LRT system
BY MAZWIN NIK ANIS

JOHOR BARU: The state is waiting for the go-ahead from the Federal Government for the construction of a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system here to ease traffic congestion and boost the public transportation system.

Works and Housing Committee chairman Datuk Baderi Dasuki said the Finance Ministry was studying the matter with a consultant firm which had been engaged to examine the feasibility of using the LRT system.

“We’re confident of a positive outcome from the study and construction works for the LRT system is expected to start in 2006,” he told the state assembly when winding up the debate on the state budget yesterday.

Under Phase One of the project, the LRT service will ply a 30km route from Skudai to the new Customs, Immigration and Quarantine complex and end in Pandan.

Phase Two will comprise two routes – a 10km route from Pandan to Ulu Tiram and a 20km stretch from Pandan to Pasir Gudang.

Baderi said the people were looking forward to the LRT system as an alternative to buses and taxis.

On tourism, Long said one reason the number of tourists from Europe and the Middle East was small was that there were no direct flights from the areas to the state.

Johor, he added, would discuss with the Transport Ministry, Senai Airport Terminal Services Sdn Bhd and other agencies on how to tackle the problem as the state wanted to benefit from the arrival of tourists from these areas.

Norlida rayu KFA jangan tamat kontrak Hasmawi
Oleh Ahmad Naim Tahir

KLUANG: Biarpun hatinya remuk kerana dimalukan, Norlida Abdul Rahman merayu Persatuan Bola Sepak Kedah (KFA) tidak menamatkan kontrak bekas tunangnya, Hasmawi Hassan, semata-mata akibat masalah peribadi mereka.

"Saya rayu (KFA) jangan tamatkan kontraknya....itulah periuk nasi dia," kata jururawat berkenaan ketika ditemui di pejabat peguam, K Siladass & Partners, di sini, petang semalam.Katanya, adalah tidak wajar jika kontrak Hasmawi ditamatkan kerana masalah yang tiada kaitan langsung dengan prestasi permainannya, sebaliknya berpunca daripada soal peribadi."Saya ada baca dalam akhbar bahawa KFA akan menamatkan kontraknya tahun depan kerana masalah kami ni....saya harap janganlah buat begitu."Masalah ini peribadi antara kami....mana dia nak cari duit...nak bayar pinjaman keretanya lagi...," katanya yang ditemani abangnya, Mohd Zain, 28, ke pejabat peguam berkenaan.

Laporan akhbar semalam memetik Naib Presiden KFA, Datuk Chong Itt Chew, berkata pihaknya setuju sebulat suara untuk menamatkan kontrak penyerang itu sebagai amaran kepada pemain lain bahawa KFA tidak bertolak ansur sekali pun membabitkan soal peribadi jika ia boleh menjejaskan imej pasukan.Katanya, persatuan itu akan mengadakan mesyuarat khas secepat mungkin bagi membincangkan perkara berkenaan supaya penamatan kontrak Hasmawi dibuat mengikut prosedur.

Sementara itu, Presiden KFA, Datuk Seri Syed Razak Syed Zain yang juga Menteri Besar Kedah dilaporkan berkata, tindakan Hasmawi itu menjejaskan maruah Islam dan bangsa Melayu jika benar berlaku sedemikian.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Norlida mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak sama ada secara langsung atau tidak yang bersimpati dengan kejadian menimpanya dan keluarga."Ramai yang menghubungi dan melahirkan simpati...saya ucapkan terima kasih banyak-banyak kepada mereka, juga kepada pihak yang menawarkan pelbagai bantuan seperti khidmat guaman kepada saya," katanya.

Antara pihak yang menawarkan khidmat guaman percuma kepada gadis berkenaan dan keluarganya ialah Gerakan Belia 4B Johor (Belia 4B) menerusi Pengerusinya, Syed Hood Syed Edros.Bagaimanapun, keluarga jururawat itu semalam secara rasmi melantik firma guaman, Tetuan K Siladass & Partners untuk menguruskan tindakan undang-undang berhubung kes berkenaan.

- Baik betul perempuan nih... dah la abis RM20k utk buat kenduri kawin yg tak jadi, dah la kecewa & mungkin trauma nak menghadapi perkahwinan lagi pas nih, tapi dia masih simpati kat bekas tunangnya tu. Orang lain plak yang marah, yang sakit hati, yang menawarkan diri ambil tindakan menghukum bekas tunangnya tu. Kepada Norlida, semoga tabah menghadapi dugaan ni n dapat jodoh yang lebih baik daripada bekas tunangnya tu... Amin! -

Ngantuk. Semalam aku kurang nyenyak tido. Bila subuh, aku dah celik mata. Lepas subuh, tak boleh tido. Cuma berteleku di tikar sejadah, tanpa perasaan apa2. Sebab terlalu awal, aku baring semula kat tempat tido, berselimut n terkebil2 melihat siling sampai siang.

Hari ni pun aku dah jadi cam Chairman. Diam je dengar lawak jenaka member2 yang lain. Tak de perasaan nak join diaorang gelak-gelak. Sebenarnya teringin nak berjalan2 kat luar, tapi takut diaorang tertanya2 apsal aku tak berminat nak borak2.

Perasaan aku macam mati. Letih memikirkan terlalu banyak perkara sejak kebelakangan ni mungkin. Letih ngan karenah bebudak rumah, tempat keje, n segala yang berlaku dalam hidup sekarang.

Mungkin kene pegi beri ikan makan lagi petang ni.
