So the year is finally coming to an end. It was a wild ride, with more downs than ups. Covid was the biggest player of them all (and is still around). There was a lot of deaths, some very unexpected and shocking. The best thing that happened (hopefully) is a change in government with Anwar finally taking the PM seat. Let's hope good things will come soon as the situation in Malaysia is quite bad now.
Last week we did a company annual dinner + Christmas exchange. It was quite fun. Some of the girls really look different and pretty when they do make up and don't wear glasses. The girl I took a new liking for even get my Christmas present (a samurai sword handle umbrella haha). Unfortunately she don't like it (I also understand). She looks a bit like Susan... man I really like girls with straight bangs. It looks just too cute and pretty. Yes I'm hopeless, shit...!
I got a redmi 10k powerbank, which is ok. After the dinner they asked if I wanted to join them to a pub. Since they say got non-alcoholic drinks, sure, why not? Went there with my colleagues, but then they said it was upstairs (quite hidden, have to take elevator up). Upon reaching upstairs, we were bombarded by LOUD MUSIC. That's not a pub, that's a CLUB! *Smack forehead* The sound was really deafening to my ears (even though I blast music sometimes in the car, but this is WAAAAAY louder). The first few minutes in there was agony, as I felt my ear drums being slowly pierced every second. Finally I adapted to it, and I was 50% deaf.
When we left after the Christmas countdown, my hearing was down to 30-40%. It took me nearly a day to regain my hearing ability. Man, how could they stand up to it EVERY night!? Crazy. Maybe youngsters have better hearing recovery skill? Who knows... The CEO I hate also joined, and he paid for the drinks (I only drank water in a cup, FOC), which consist of 20+ bottle of Carlsberg beer and a tower too. I wonder did he use company money for it? That doesn't cost little, at all...
I think that's the first time I went to a club... or is Zouk considered one too? But Zouk wasn't that deafening. Or maybe it's just me getting old, haha. The atmosphere was... good. I like the head banging music, especially if they remix it with a song I like to sing like 'It's my life'. When you sing in there, nobody can hear you, so it's more fun than karaoke (if you don't like people to hear you sing). There was a female DJ near the end but couldn't see her properly from far. Some of the girls I like who joined went back early, bummer...
So what's to come for the new year? I hope I can get a better increment, bigger bonus and... maybe retire early? Haha... waiting for my dad to retire, then maybe I can take a leave while I find for a new job in KL. Maybe. How about girls? As much as I want one, the possibility of me finding a real good compatible one is near 1%. So better just make myself numb, forget about love and just enjoy life as it is. It will be much easier and less painful that way. Yes, and I can retire earlier that way too haha.
Time to enjoy the holidays and start anew next year. I heard dog has a good year coming. Woof Woof, Adios~!
