Santa's coming to town

Look, here's the thing alright? Christmas is here. And you guys have to bloody move your arses to get those pressies or else incur the wrath of whomever that you're going to receive pressies from. Luckily for me, since i do shun presents and i do not want to receive any, i only have to get Mie pressies :) Which i did. A barbie doll and...a carriage from Barbie and the Diamond castle.

Yes, the above said carriage. Lol. And i might just buy myself next year's track-set as my own present. Hahahahha. And the carriage, it's large. That little seat behind there, fits a 12" Barbie, with room to spare. =P

Anyway, I got Jamie a nice white handbag for her birthday. Yes, i know the b-day's next year, but buy early la! Hahaha. Plus it looks good on her, and me - cause i carry it around. And people do stare, but i guess it's out of admiration, who else would have a faux leather 80's styled white tote bag with loud pink "Barbie" written at the side huh? Hahaha.

And, my time in Mattel has drawn to a close. Come new year, i would no longer be with them. It's sad to be leaving a company that you have come to grow really attached to, working with people who genuinely care about you. It's much easier to be attached to all of them, cause it's such a small company to begin with, at least it's small in Malaysia that is.

I'm leaving to sell Char Kuey Teow at some street corner. Hopefully, i would not be sued for food poisoning. And i'll bloody hell do my darnest to survive:)

And to the people of Mattel that i work with, if you are reading this (which i really hope you aren't); i will miss you, and i do appreciate every single moment that i have had with you lovely people. Well...most of the moments are appreciated. =P


And unto this one thing that have been bugging me. You see, i read the other day (or rather a few weeks have gone by since reading it) in the Sun, the editor made a lovely column about animal cruelty, and how being a vegan saved the world. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's great actually. Just let me share my very narrow and slanted views.

I care for most life forms. But there's one that is pretty much equivalent to those poor chickens that the editor had written in the column. Let's call them "abc" k?

You see, the abc have been around a very long time. They were a free species once, and proud ones at that. They have emotions, and a need for space just like our dear friends, the chickens do. But over the years, the needs and greed of men had driven the abc to the very brink of mass suicide. They were kept in confined spaces, forced to work each and every day to feed the hunger of humanity.

If any one of them were to escape this fate, another abc would be taken in to replace the abc that got away. This species would ensure that we are always fed, contented and satisfied. And like the chickens, we don't really care where the burgers' origins are from. The abc work from day to night, and sometimes all around the clock just for us.

Of course they complain, but who could ever defend them? The offspring of the abc are born in conditions that are sometimes appaling, and even downright more depressing than those cows that we so happily would inseminate. Some of the abc are worked so hard to the ground that they can't have offspring of their own.

Some abcs are forced to do work that pose serious threat to their lives. Some never see the light of day. Everyday, there's bound to be some poor abc that is killed while being worked somewhere around the globe, risking their lives so that we humans can have our comfort.

So if you have time to be a vegan and complain about chickens that can't be kept in small tiny cages, and that organic food is the way to go - do note that these abc are just like us.

They are us. They are the bloody people who the shit jobs for us. They are the ones who scoop up the poop. The ones that sort out your packages. The ones that bang out their keyboard everyday in tiny cubicles. The ones that dig out coal so that you can have your electricity. The men and women who work in places so dangerous that they get all sorts of poisons and contaminats in their systems. They are the people that stay up day and night worrying if we would be safe and in comfort and have enough to eat - even if we are strangers to them.

So if you want to care about the chickens and cows being kept in horrid conditions; i'm right behind you. But first, let me clear out poor hospital conditions, non-existing welfare, world hunger, lack of education and just bloody horrid living conditions of my closest DNA relatives before i move on to a more inter-species scale.

And please, i'm not angry at the world or anything. Everyone has their own cause to fight for. And kudos to them, those who fight for something that they believe in. And if my cause matches yours, then you have an ally. And if it doesn't, then you would have gain at the very least a sympathizer and a supporter.

On the behalf of every living thing on this planet, i would like to thank you for doing your bit for the world. And yes, you can vote for me to be president of earth. ( =


And on the end of that little rant, i now end this post:)

Do have a very Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year!

Cheers people!
