Too Much For An Evening

Its a great night. I suddenly have this feeling that I cant wait to blog this right after my shower.

Scene 1: I called up my banner supplier for my company sports day. Inquiring him to help me to do an ink print (I cant believe they dont understand the description "canvas") banners which has been decide by W, or more accurately, his sister. I purposely requested W to convert it into the JPEG file, so that it is more common to be used in any graphical software. His sister did it in Adobe Photoshop, which is quite professional. I dont have that software. To ease everybody to review the design. I requested W to convert into JPEG file. This supplier, lets call him CT. He told me that, "Canvas? you meant ink print is it..."(see.. he cant understand canvas) "Nowadays ink print is very the high tech liao.. we use computer to print the drawings out. But it must be in .AI file name la...."
Me: "Adobe Illustrator? Your software should be able to convert the JPEG file into .AI files"
CT: "Cannot lahh... I do this type of banner so many times liao.. It must use .AI files... else I cant print it out..."
Me: "Can la... You try and see can bo? I dont have the converter nor Adobe software in my software."
CT: "Cannot la... you try to find the converter lohhh"
Me: "...."

I was kinda frustrated with his improfessionalism. I consulted my Kuching buddy Mr Young Gun. He told me that he never heard of such converter, may need time to source, and having the doubt I had, "isn't it Adobe can use the 'save as..' function to convert it?"
Therefore I look for Adobe Illustrator software, hoping to find the cracked version since the license protection for Adobe is tremendously strong. Uhah!!! Got it. Immediately I open the JPEG file and saved as the AI.

Sigh... some people just tend to act smart and their ego... like young gun said, "They are just trying to fart..."


Scene 2: To good to know that Little Skinny has slowly recovered, his eyes is less swollen and less reddish now. And he is keeping his wheel and don wan to let his mate to play on it. Haha.. pretty cute.


Scene 3: I had my Thank You Dinner thanks to Dato S. It was quite an enjoyable dinner looking at Mr CKW drunk, 70%? Ya about there. I'm impressed with his drunk. He spoke everything the truth, partially.
"YJ2 has excellent team work! When I knocked CKK's glass, some body will just jump out and drink for him!"
"It has been already Buyers market nowadays, all the S2M sales men know very well, CKK knows very well, CH knows very well, I think Jerry also knows a little. On how customer rejects us like throwing our product back to our warehouse!"

I only looking foward to these 2 statements, please let me explain why they are "Partially correct"

Statement 1: "YJ2 has excellent team work! When I knocked CKK's glass, some body will just jump out and drink for him!"
Correction: YJ2 has excellent teamwork FOR CERTAIN DEPARTMENT, they will protect their own departmental people and sometimes will neglect other people"

Statement 2: "It has been already Buyers market nowadays, all the S2M sales men know very well, CKK knows very well, CH knows very well, I think Jerry also knows a little. On how customer rejects us like throwing our product back to our warehouse!"
Correction: It has been already buyers market LONG TIME AGO! All the S2M sales may not know very well, CKK may not know very well, CH may not know very well, I think Jerry knows A LOT! On how customer reject us like throwing the four letter words on to your face together with their saliva.

Well, perhaps he was drunk, lets just don take it too seriously ;).


Scene 4: I wan to thank Mr CKK. Part of it. I got this so dog luck chance to meet him after Mr Dragon ask me to drive W back. I can feel that he was just trying to shooh him away, nevermind, I can do the job. On the way to carpark, God blessed, I saw Mr CKK. He was shocked that Dragon asked me to: "Can you drive W back first? HMK said we have something to discuss"
Is it so secretive? I thought "YJ2 people has excellent teamwork". His act already broke the golden rule inside a team - No secret between team members. Nah here proved that Mr CKW said was only PARTIALLY correct. Its just because me and W are not engineers, we are quality personnel, different department. Felt so bad but, who cares? I got this kinda dog luck to meet Mr CKK. I took this opportunity to tell him that the ITTI's isolation scenario. He invited me and W to join their "something to discuss".

Oh... No wonder Dragon don't want me to join. It was about a nagging by Mr CKK. I guess some times when egoism went too high, these people do not wish to let others see them nagged. Mr CKK said a lot of things, I really express my gratitude here that he had help me to say something for ITTI. He mentioned on how YJ2 treated ITTI as a rubbish bin, throwing all the rejected material to ITTI so called "ask for help", but in fact they were just doing "garbage disposal". I regretted when Mr CKK conversate this with me in front of so many people:

"Jerry, do you have anything to add on?"
"Mr C, I have plenty of things to say, but I don think this is a good position to say"
"I understand, you want to do it in details."

Mr C, I do not have such intention. No doubt that I want to use figures to show how you all treated (treat) ITTI as a garbage bin by throwing those things to ITTI. But the reason that I do not want to speak is I don want your engineers to lose their face and saying me to act like a pro by climbing the stairs you gave me. So here, let me put down what I wanted to say just now:

"Dear colleagues, I know that I'm out of the team, 3 miles away from the place you work everyday. However, when I received the rejected materials, I didnt sent any email to bombard you guys, I carry the samples from 3 miles away, sitting at Aunty's canteen spending your tea break to discuss with you, asking you all to help me by try to reduce this kinda problem. How ever, I think this brotherhood method initiated by me has been abused, and as that goes on, ITTI has been well known as garbage bin, where all the rubbish will be thrown there, showing your YJ2 good figures, leaving all your shits at ITTI.

In ITTI's position, no doubt that we are daughter company, but every metric tonne material you billed us as prime grade, has been rejected and rejected. And everytime I voice a nag, it has been replied by a joke that: huh? complain? ok lohh I don give you material. =.= h-a-h-a =.=. Not funny at all. Disregard of sellers or buyers market, ITTI do not even have the right to sound how bad is your quality, of the material and your attitude. During sellers market, the sellers are having rights to decide who to sell, even though you may have plenty of cash, I can just stop your material supply; whereas when buyers market, everybody is keeping their cash and clear off their stock, and dear YJ2 colleague, this moment you throw all you stock to ITTI, ITTI do not have cash, but forced to receive your material, defected ones some more, cheated some more.

If you were to think of isolating ITTI's people, please proceed. This will strengthen my will to be the joker of this game. I will be the bad guy. I will become the YJTI's Mr Brian Ch'ng, to send you all at least 3 complaints per week, or even more. I joint you all during the maintenence job asked from Mr CKK, it is not for the replacement leave (partially of course), it is because I wanted to let you all know, when you all need help, I'll be there, but why that ITTI called for help for so long, yet we only heard about hypocritic suggestion from you all?

I'm sorry if what I said are harshy, I don even want to give a damn! I just want you all to know how bad is ITTI doing now, not because that me and Mr O do not want to improve it, but it is this scenario where YJ2 people think ITTI people are staying inside rubbish bin. Now let me tell you, people who stay inside the rubbish bin are able to contain because they are able to withstand this pressure, when I asked dragon to join me to visit customer, he cross his hand and show me a big NO. Therefore, when I said I'm going a complaint at Penang, Ipoh, Kuantan, JB, etc etc.. Please never ever say that I'm enjoying."

Yes it could be that long. That is why I didnt mumbled.

It has been a long night. I'm feeling so much better now, no body shares my problem. I just do not want person who are not in suitable position to initiate to share my problem. I'll be good. I'll be good. I just know that. I'll be better.
