Hazard, Occupational.

When I just started with this career , Loong time ago, for me, Expense Account, is a Super Duper Perks. Where else, can one get paid going around meeting people (mileages and allowances), + getting free meals. Further, at that time, Malaysia’s economy was not that well, but, on the road to recovery. There are plenty of pemetik2 anggur, around. This company, was still being fully foreign and not 100% adapt to the local culture (when it comes to $ laa) Hey, our allowances used to be Deutsche Mark ! or is it Swiss Francs ?. Can you imagine, a young worker just getting into the job market, getting, sumtin like DM 180 per day, for going outstation, say, to JB, 9 out of 12 months, in a year. That was about 300 Ringgit per day, man. Woo ho ho ! Now, fully adapted to local, hypercompetitive business, all I got is, a taik gigi 10 Ringgit per day. Alahaaaii, this is NOT a frustrated lepas geram entry. The comparative figures are just for clear illustration. I still consider myself to be Super lucky still having this job. The discovering of varieties of free meals is another Godsend. Japanese, Koreans, Tex Mex, French, Morroccan, Greek, Arabic, Lebanese, Italian, and Not to forget ‘kas kas’ed Kari Kepala Ikans., and you name it. For a 23 year old male, who don’t give a damn about how he look, spare tayar ker idak, who has bottomless appetite for anything, This IS heaven !!.. Years come, years gone, Now, at this moment, I think all ot these Super Duper Perks is more or less an Occupational Hazard. You are being softly, coyly forced to take things that is hazardous to your Health. Or simply, me cannot tahanlaa. Free meals maa.. Sotong, Steaks, Crabby, Abalone, Clams, Escargot, Mussels, Siput sedut and again KKIs. Eh ? Anybody do a study of long term effect of kas kas ? Uncooked Sashimi. Maam will sure scream at me, for taking that,. “ Ooiii, Hepatitiiiiis, tak tau ker !! ?” All of It increases my BP, BMI (makes me rounder and rounder), and not to forget, contributes to the mightily painful Gout. Ooops, semalam udah terpelahap satu bowl steaming sukiyaki (Sliced Beef Soup). I think this is one of the reasons people evolve, eating less and start to play golf. Mewonder.
