Versatility

Had a sport game with unfamiliar colleague as well as my manager. I could barely last for 10 minutes of the game. They were playing for almost 1 n half hour while it took me 1 hour to recover from dizziness....

Being a nutritionist with a minor in sports nutrition, i know very well that we are suppose to drink about 300ml of water before you start to do exercise that will cause intensive perspiring. Then gradually drink the water throughout the game and if the game lasted more than an hour, then it is good to have some jelly bean to boost up your glucose level. THAT's the ideal way of doing. Once again, theory is always easier to remember than applying it.

Embarrassing enough, i felt dizzy,exhausted, weak n my trachea is informing me that he wish to return something back to my mouth. Having a little bit of sports nutrition knowledge, i know very well i had drank too much water at the wrong time. I went to my car and have a bit of mentos and thank goodness, i gradually recovered from there... Can you imagine i puke in front of all my new colleague on my very first day of sport outing with them?

Still.....after manage to prevent the food release from the top, they decided to come out from the bottom. So, i actually went to the toilet and produces some chocolate ball while my colleague were chasing another ball on the field.......
GOAL~~~~my colleagues shouted.
AHH~~~~i replied.

Stupidity

yesterday was the released date for the final episode of Harry Potter, many newspapers chose to display the craziness of the fans in Klang Valley on the front pages.

this phenomena reminded me or few years ago in which the publics were fighting to get the hello kitty doll from McD that one of the fast food chain had some kind of havoc/fighting occurred.

If you were among the crazy fan of hello kitty of that time, may i ask you, where did you keep your hello kity now? besides reminding you the hardship you have gone through to obtain IT, what else does the hello kitty mean to you now?

"because i want to be the first to own it", so what if you first to own it? "so that i can be the first to enjoy it", so what if you are the first to enjoy it? " so that will be the first one to know how wonderful it is to enjoy it"

Let's just not argue on wonder it is a wonderful feeling to own it or not first. my question is, does being the first one make the enjoying process different from the rest? does reading it first will make the ending of the story different from the rest?

yes, the first edition might actually have some market value in the future, but it is worthless if the first edition have like MILLIONS of copy. so what if it has a printed signature? it is still a carbon copy from the original transcript.

maybe its all our fault. we shouldnt believe in being first on everything is good. first in class is always good, winning the first prize in competition is great, so what's wrong being the first to get the toy or the book that we wanted so badly? kiasuism has brought decade of success to a nation, so why bother about the moral implication on the society? A poor nation have no right to talk about moral or discipline if the people cant even afford to buy a bread.

a conflict of interest in this issue you may call it. it is really back to the basic, the positioning of the nation will determine the rightness of the action. If the government wish to move the nation away from poverty, action that is taking may put social implication on the bottom of the priority list. Some said our former PM is the culprit of the current corruption problem, i can actually understand the reason behind it. Many country has gone through it, HK is a great example. However, a small incident inflicted a huge tsunami on their society,and governor took the opportunity to revolutionize the system. We know very well now they have one of the most 'clean' government sector.

ever since our 5th PM step up, many opportunity has arrived for us to inflict the changes. I would not dare to say that he has failed to seize the chance, but it is quite obvious that there is too many people look too highly of personal profit. They have failed to fulfill the sumpah they have sworn on, but the good news is, many of them provide heaps of entertainment to us.

As a leader, you dont have to apologize to girl when u said the wrong thing. Man, how i wish i can have this authority, then i wouldnt have to spend so much money on dolls whenever i said wrong word to my girl friend.

As a leader, if you were forced to admit your mistake, you can choose to FEEL sorry for those that being hurt by you, no apology is needed. I am trying so hard not to imagine how gruesome my face will look like if i only feel sorry to girl friend only.....

The best of all, you can said things like this "tell me which building doesnt leak in this world? what's the big deal?" Man, how i wish you will fulfill your promise of staying in that kampung after your combrat have failed to win the by-election. At least i don't have to see your funny wig anymore

where was i? oh ya, the book....i am sure year our nation's survey will show that malaysian read more than 1 book a year for the first time, since everyone suddenly love to read book so much. I was told by my teacher to read between the lines, but if there's nothing to look in between the lines, what should i read for?

canned food culture is exactly what i would call this. It give you exactly what you want at a convenient way in a reasonable price. Once it expired, you just have to throw it away and get another can.

A newspaper compared harry potter with Alice in Wonderland. He talked about how this fast moving world make harry potter is the far suitable books for the teenage group. He ended the article with an interesting comment. He asked, besides being trendy and satisfied you like a fast food, what did get out of it? obesity

obesity here clearly linking to the information overload that has no beneficial value in it. And still, burger is still regarded as the best food in the world. And in this case, obviously, Harry potter is the best book in the world

10 years

had a 10 years anniversary lunch with 10 of my best buddy plus their partner. It is surprised to know that we had bear with each other for 10 years. In fact, all of us are still keeping good contact with one another. Getting along with just 1 guy for 10 years is perhaps hard enough, but we actually can have 11 people united as one, you can imagine how much we cherish about this gathering....

it is definitely not easy to arrange a free time especially a number of us have a rather irregular working hours, but we did manage to come out a date (~ 3 months after initiating the idea) that all of us can make it.

We had fun, definitely. but perhaps, the reason we can meet up without missing anyone is because most of us are still in a care free stage....in fact, only 1 out of us have been working more than a year and already formed a family....so it would be interesting to see how it will looks like on my 15th anniversary dinner

i was away for 3 years before i came back to this land once again. And i was told that many of us hardly meet up since i was gone. Things have gone better once again when i got back. I am really greatful that i have become their meeting point. In fact, on my 2nd day of arriving, out of my surprise, all of them let go their work, came back from everywhere around klang valley, just to meet up with me in my house for merely 10min. We had our first photo in 4 years time on my 2nd day of arrival. I was touched, really touched.

Lunch is over, and so is the jovial gathering. but we all know, there are more laughters and tears are waiting for us to gone through together once again.....

So you think you can lead

According to Mr Robert Kiyosaki, we have been receiving only the 'poor dad's teaching' in which shaping us into a group of people that believed in core value that is supposedly wrong..

i've been believing this phrase with some reservation from the very beginning. No doubt our education system hasn't evolve much from olden british system, and at the same time our leaders ironically advice us to constantly update ourselves with the latest development. However, unless he can proved that all those geniuses/leaders that being produced by this system are all born special/hardworking/smart, he cannot said that we are believing in wrong believe.

Dont get me wrong though, it is much regret for myself also to realise how shallow my fellow friend's knowledge/understanding on financial planning. In fact, some friends that are finance major are already falling into a rather sorry state.....

so why do our parents still send kids to ballet classes, piano classes besides those BM, english tutorial classes instead of something more beneficial like social works, or maybe financial or safett awareness classes?
" its for their own good"
" so that they can have more option in future life"
"got side income in future"
all these replies are rather common to hear it from,but now, please do introduce me to a parent that will not go against their children that want to study performing art or music. If they dun believe in it as a career, so why force their children to learn it?

no wonder our leaders always do ironical stuff...its from their parent's believe......thou shall be forgiven......

you who failed to prepare, prepare to fail....

still undergoing training in office. However, training that i am receiving is far more practical than usual. Most of the time it actually required me to take an action and work on it.

i really have to praise my training manager though. It is still hard to believe that i was actually given an embarrassing product, and then i will need to try and sell it to all my colleague. But the most interesting is, this game actually involve all the senior management team, and the higher the rank we approach, more points will be given to us.

life is interesting, interesting life it is......

Morning Glory

I am exited every morning as i am another day closer to my self-set mission deadline

He is upset every morning he is another day closer to his final destination

She is grateful every morning as she has survived for another night

We are emotionless every morning as we are aimlessly live through another day

It yawns every morning as it is bored to see the human complaint for another day


Thank you for making us such an interesting creature.....

truly madly deeply

i believe all of us that living on our 20's are living in such a different world compare to all the uncle, ahem....brothers that have been around for more than 30 years. there's so many profession, careers that are distinctively different from our textbook definition of 'full time job' that allow us to choose..... 'the road less taken' seemingly expressed out our crave for breakthrough and success. Some succeeded and do many proud while others being laugh for not following the old wise man's word.

I've been working 3 weeks in a company that the textbook would define it as " a career that has job security". Life hasn't change much for me, as i am still under training. Although i am starting to have 'homework' but it is pretty much the same as my university life. i am actually quite keen to have the training over and done with, as i am really anticipated to experience the hard life in the so call 'real world'

there's a Chinese proverb that said: " if you choose not to enter the tiger's cave, you will never catch the cub". Philosophically, if you have not taken it up, how can you talk about letting it go?

there's so many of us worry this and that, avoiding this and that. " because working is scary" " i don't like politics" "study still the best".

i must admit i am fortunate to have the chance to see our life from another corner of the world. Even so, living oversea for 3 years is not as impacting as bagpacking alone for a month. there is so much to experience, so many people to learn from, and so many objects to interact with. I really want to take up everything with my own hand, and then slowly letting it go. I don't envy he that get to see the whole Europe, or driving a Mercedes. I wait for my turn to come, I wait for my turn to come.
