  • [ karma will get you one day ]

    2 years and 3 months in gallup, and it has been more than 1.5 years since i've last spoken to the devil who sits beside me. the mentor from hell who stamped on my tail, proclaimed that i am her assistant [duh] in yet another of her trashy multiply postings and watched in glee while i apologized for the bloopers that i have made during the 1st few months at work ... is now targeting a new girl in the research team who has just entered the company. in fact, she even penned out an entire blog entry to ridicule and insult the poor girl who doesnt even know what happened.

    according to sources, y***sai has applied for the exact same position and somehow, failed to get it.
    oh. and i wonder how could that have happened ? especially since she's so brilliant, popular, beautiful and is the reigning queen of her own lil bubble that only consists of "top-brainy Indonesians around the world". -rolls eyes-

    but you know ? so what if you have "represented Jogjakarta city" and graduated with a degree in "Applied Math major in NUS" ? no one's gonna give a damn about that because you have failed terribly at being a person and i have never seen anyone who is as ungracious and spiteful as you are. epic fail !!!! even if you have a bag full of wonderful credentials, we will always remember you as the asshole who thinks she's the #1 alpha hen in the coop and made life hard for everyone else.

    and here's the entry :

    Here is the translation ... Handy did not bother to correct her grammars as it is how horrible she wrote (ya, she makes mistake in Bahasa grammar though its much much less complex than the English language) despite her rant about other people’s bahasa haha !!~

     

    Enjoy!~

    Indonesian speak too fast? Say love math but but? (empty barrel clangs louder Indonesian proverb)

    I just hope this is read by my colleague who understands bahasa Indonesia although she’s not Indonesian themselves – she totally understands what my concern is. Even better if the one I’m grumbling about also read this post. Oh well, this is my complain about new girl in the office.

    About Bahasa Indonesia
    My first question: How she could possibly say she’s fluent in Bahasa Indonesia (but all her translations are just too bad until I have to redo all of her work all over)?

    Conclusion: Basically she over boasted herself during interview.

    The problem: The ang moh boss did not announce to other colleagues and giving me the credit instead of her for completing the job that should be done by her in the first place. (This “new girl” was hired to do that project that I had to redo)

    Oh please lah…

    1.       You never ever read Indonesian book/newspaper/magz (even the link to Kompas.com I gave you, you never read!!!)

    2.       You don’t speak Bahasa daily with friends/relatives/parents

    3.       You have never attended any Indonesian school and having friends from ALL OVER Indonesia (so that you can understand that Bahasa Indonesia can be pronounced with different dialects)

    4.       You still have to open unrecognized English-Indonesian dictionary + Indonesian thesaurus (I already recommended you KBBI – Bahasa Indonesia official dictionary, helloo?) – oh well, sorry I forgot that you don’t even know what the dictionary that real Indonesian use in Indonesia HAHA.

    But why you are the one who were chosen to meet client in Jakarta? What kind of politic is this? If you don’t even understand what the client is talking about, what kind of contribution would you expect to give to office? Like putting salt into the sea, sending you to Jakarta is a futile attempt.

    FYI, my high school friends came from Sabang (Most West island in Indonesia) until Merauke(Most East island in Indonesia) – some came from North Sumatra, some even from Papua!!! (see in my Facebook if you don’t buy it). I never have any difficulties in communicating (as long as I don’t accidentally blurting out in Javanese language – because they will surely ask Yunisa – what was that?).

    Don’t go too far lah, Mandarin as China national language even has dialects… Beijing people always have “r” suffixes. Like zai na li (Taiwan/common Mandarin) in Beijing becomes zai nar? (my lesson teacher taught me that).

    I honestly think Bahasa Indonesia is much simpler than Mandarin. No need sheng diao. Plain pronunciation is enough. As long as you have plenty vocabulary, you must understand what Indonesian speak. Worst case, watch sinetron (Indonesian soap opera) often. At least your passive understanding to the dialogues will increase dramatically, just like those Malay colleagues who’s super addicted to Indonesian sinetron.

    Oh yeah, English also has so many pronunciation. I understand la, many American ang moh dun understand what Oz ang moh is talking about or UK ang moh is talking about… But for people with good “listening skill of various accent” like me (although I myself cannot impersonate people’s accent), we still understand what they’re talking about. So, if you say Indonesian speak too fast, then Sir this Ma’am that from another island, you don’t understand the Bahasa, I beg your pardon lah! (in South East Asia, only Indonesian speaks completely I beg your pardon instead of "sorry" or "pardon" or "say again")

    About math

    Oh yeah, last week another colleague uttered the truth about her although she’s a graduate from part-time Economics and Math major (but often typing numbers wrongly), she don’t accept that… For me, I fully supportive of this sentiment from other colleagues about her.  Hey, he spoke the truth!!!

    Oh ya, this girl doesn’t know ya that Yunisa is a bachelor from full time Applied Math major in NUS (that of course she couldn’t make it to because during my year, entering NUS was very competitive, foreign students are only 2% from total 20000 students). She also doesn’t know that Yunisa represented Jogjakarta city (Although KO during the national selection for IMO – International Math Olympic) when was only 16 years old – that means Yunisa was appointed to represented school and made it through many selections, etc. I bet, this girl doesn’t know how KILLER it is to prove already-proved-by-others math theorem…

    That’s only about math lo, not to mention about other majors. My smallest brother also, all of his teachers are often quarrelling about him so that he can join their Olympiads (just like Yunisa in high school, except he isn’t qualified for social majors, unlike Yunisa who was also a quarrel subject among all of the social major teachers).

    Our brain quality is different la…. I’m not insulting here, but sorry mekkkkk, Yunisa’s destiny is surrounded by top-brainy Indonesians around the world… My best friend even won Lee Kwan Yew gold medal looooo….

    Conclusion

    Empty barrel clangs louder. Just when can I kick the barrel?

    I just want to make you be my antagonist in my next, next novel!!! Remember, my novels not only fictions. I don’t think I need to write about your offensive fashion style here (you want to go to night club or to work? So different with the Taiwanese Phd who’s also new here like you). I’ve told my best friends about you until she got stomach ache listening about you and say “Yun, the way you tell about her is so comedic!”
