A Day in the Zoo

**All the characters in this blog are merely fictional,any similarities to anyone in real life are mere coincidence**

One sunny day,since i have nothing better to do, so i go to the nearby "AT" Zoo.
When i was there, i saw a parrot talking to a goat by the name "Scape", in another word, parrot talking to a scapegoat. Their conversation is roughly on the allegation that the chicken in the jungle made on the scapegoat, and the parrot become the messenger between the two. The chicken in the jungle is so high class that she can't walk out from the jungle and talk to the scapegoat.

P- Parrot
C- Chicken in the jungle
S - Scapegoat

P : I talked to C after our conversation, and she understand the whole situation
already, are you ok with that?
S : (Of course not ok lah!!! Who will feel happy after being stab for unknown reason)
Well, to me, i personally feel that if someone happen to make a unjust
accusation on another person, he/she should apologies personally with that
person and not go through someone else to pass the message
P: (As expect, the P will side C) Oh no no no, she didn't make any accusation on
you,she just ask
S: Well , to me, making a statement without any solid reason or proof is consider
as accusation. And why at the first place she make such a statement on me?
P: Oh, she saw you few times coming in late and ONE TIME go off early
S: Oh, the few times coming in late and ONE time go off early , so she can simply
make a conclusion!
P: expected again! show the chicken look!) Oh, maybe that day when i talked to you,
my tone not very good, i apologies if i am too rough
S: Oh, no no, your tone is just nice, you don't seems offense me or anything. It's
her statement that make me feel uneasy

Scapegoat kept telling the parrot that her tone is just nice, nothing wrong with her tone, yet the parrot keep saying it's her problem, bla bla bla...and finally...

P: I apologies on behalf of the chick
S: NO!!! It's nothing relate to you. It's between me and her NOT me and you!!!
P: (Keep quiet for a while! Again, apologies again!)
S: (DUH!!!! Waste of breath! I better go back and sleep!) OK!

Then Scapegoat walk away.....

Come to think of it, it sounds quite similar to our real life,
Chicken in the jungle - Manager's Manager
Parrot - Manager
Scapegoat - Employee

Manager and their manager always RIGHT! They can say anything they want. And with the word SORRY, they will expect we forget whatever they said. BUT...If we do something wrong and no matter how we say SORRY to them, we are dead meat! They will REMEMBER our FAULT FOREVER and EVER, until the day they die!

I remember mom taught me, we need to apologies to people sincerely, personally if we happen to do something wrong on the other person. We cannot just walk away and hope that time will clear off everything.

Hmm...could it be, the higher you climb, the more things need to be downloaded into your brain, so you delete the morale value that we learn from school???

I want to be a manager

Before today, if you ask me whether i want to be a technical person or people manager, without hesitate, i will tell you, "I want to be technical person!" But, remember, there is 2 fix constants in this world, which is 1. People will die 2. Change. So AFTER yesterday's "meaningful" conversation with my superior, i change my mind, I WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!!! You must be wondering what makes me change my mind. Let me tell you few good points to be manager.


  1. Manager doesn't need to know much
  2. Manager can SIMPLY make their OWN ASSUMPTION BASED ON WHATEVER they think
  3. Manager can come to work late and go off early, reason "busy with off hr meeting"
  4. Manager can do WHATEVER they like with justification "It's good for you and the company"
So, what should i wait any longer? Since there is so many good points to become manager, of course i want to change my career path. Ok, let me tell you what makes me change my mind!!!!! Pls turn your cellphone, pager, house phone, tv, radio off....sit back relax and enjoy yourself!

Yesterday, my manager (M) told me, her boss (YS) ask her what's wrong with me.
Before this, let me briefly describe the character of the story to you, like what we used to do when we watch movie.
LYS - she's a dungu manager, where she has SINGLE eye lids but she likes to put 2 patches of
BLACK eye shadows on her eyes, so from far, people thought she has BIG EYES...hiaks.
M - she is our manager but she act like highly paid admin to us, everything also don't know
J - me me me....
M is my manager, J is me

M: YS asked me "What's wrong with Joanne, how come she comes to work late and leave
early?"
J: (i puzzled and immediately piss off by this statement) Huh? I usually come in before most
of our team mate and usually the last one to leave.
M: Hmm..then how come YS says so?
J: (Oh..i know) Oh, could it be last Friday she sees me walk in around 9 something? I brought
my son to see doc as he is not feeling well
M : hmm...maybe
J: By the way, she must be coming in after me and leave almost same time as me, then only
she can see me coming in late and leave early...right?
M: (keep quiet...expected, as she doesn't has her own opinion)
J : And also, i car pool with hubby, u think possible for me to come in late and leave early?
M : Oh yeah hor...yeah yeah yeah...(well, again, her usual response, DUH!)
J : oh..could it be she sees me carrying my big bag that i keep my milk bag? And usually when
i go to Mother's room, i carry the bag together with my water container, she thought me
just come in when she sees me in the morning, and she thought me going back when she
sees me in the afternoon. I express milk 2 times in office
M: (Again with the same expression) Oh yeah yeah, maybe....
M : How many times your express milk in office?
J : 2 times
M : You still breastfeeding your son? He's turning one soon right?
J : Yes, still breastfeed
M: No plan to stop yet?
J : (hubby actually said can gradually stop, but i'm not going to tell M) No plan to stop yet,
will continue bf until no supply
M: (pause for a while) Actually, it's good...good that you can continue and still have supply.
good good...
J : DUH!

KNS, MF..Pardon my language..i feel upset with this stupid accusation!!!
First, they forced me to move to another area and i just follow whatever their instruction, didn't make any complain or noise...and now find fault with me..DUH!!!!!!!

Then, i walk back to my place, jump up and down ...when i told my team mate about our conversation, most of their reaction was

  • "Since when u come in late and leave early so often!"
  • "die lah, Joanne comes in around 8am and goes back after 5:30pm, yet the mgmt says she comes in late and goes back early, then next time we all have to come by 7am and go back by 7pm!!!"
Bla bla bla bla bla...then i went to mother's room to express milk! And also consult my english teacher on how to draft a nice email to chicken in the jungle as i feel unfair with such an accusation on thing that i didn't do!!!!!!!

After that, i drop LYS an email, tracked she read it or not..i send the mail at 5.28pm and she read it at 6:33pm. Until now, she hasn't reply my mail yet. Maybe she needs to ask her hubby or her group of "consultant" to draft the email. What do you expect, the higher you climb, the less intelligent you will be!!! Hahahahaaaaa...

So at the end, YES, i WANT TO BE MANAGER!!!
