The aliying and afrey show...

Welcome to the aliying and afrey show!!

This show will come up once in a while as fictional characters of aliying and afrey(to be read as a - frey). Do note that aliying and afrey are not physical representations of any actual people living in lah lah land(coined by my friend, the wondering wanderer)... Their content and thoughts are not reflections of any actual people living in lah lah land.

Better state the disclaimer, terms and conditions first! This show is inspired by the Mr Brown show and the objective of this show is to engage readers in their thinking hats and sharing of experiences as aliying and afrey develop and mature in the highly competitive yet compassionate world..

aliying is defined as a man(a "real" man)of late twenties, slightly above average singaporean height, humble, married with a wife, very very ali@times, good drinking brudder, anime junkie and the nickname "cannonball" on the manjong table..

afrey is of the same age as aliying, best brudder, always there to give you a crying shoulder when the occasion arises, V good drinking brudder, triathlon freak, member of the "bo si kang" (no more time)club and nickname"self make 5 token king" on the manjong table.

The setup goes like this
When : two days ago
where : Bukit Timah Kopitiam
what we talking abt : emotional side of the office politics

aliying : hey brudder!!
afrey: hey brudder!! whazzup!!

aliying : No lah, just want to tell you that I felt very relieved after the series of twists that came along during my work...It had been tough and mentally draining for me...Don't know ha, how come other people clear so easy, mi like maciam very difficult leh...people say everybody got their ups and downs in work, but mine seems more downs then ups!!(some like compraining, rite??) Even got a friend looked at mi and seemed to infer"Eer, you cannot pass ha? I thought easy what"

afrey: Aiyah, I thought wat happen?!!! At the end of the day, you had reached your goals. Learn from the experience and move like....comprain comprain comprain/....okong you - treat mi milo dinosaur.......Abang!!! Milo dino satu, kopi satu susu sikit!

aliying : roger tat!! So how is your chat with your bosses abt your career track?

afrey: DOn't know lah!! Talk no action, LPPL. Just do wat I am supposed to do tomo...one day at a time lah, need not tink so far first...Middle management is really not easy to handle, got to do the work of two ranks up and moniter the work of two ranks down...multi multi task..Sian...

aliying : A sad reality of life, but that is how the world spins, and how life moves on...There is so much more that we can do for the company, but experience, seniority, rank and other hidden factors hinder the efficiency..Like wat you say, just do your best in your job scope...So must I..

afrey: I agree with u, brudder! A lot of us sometimes got too overwhelmed by work that it affected our personal life big time! THis further leaps on to the straining of the relationship between your gf and wife, family members and friends. Wat to do something happi, but cannot be happi...very miserable...

To solve this, what I will do is to go for the adrenline rush.. swim like you never b4 in the south china sea, cycle till your ass crack and go for a half marathon. Guys can go for a shopping spree like women to feel shiok...just got myself a Trek equinox bike!!! Wicked!!! Shiok!! I guess by doing so, you feel more alive, more purposeful and deter yourself from being a workaholic machine..

aliying: Good suggestion! Think one of my goals is set...Project Big mountain b4 38...here I come! Come come, my brudder...let's "ta" the milo dino and kopi susu sikit..

afrey: you siao ah!!
