Some interesting facts from the www…
More American workers (18%) call sick on Friday than any other day of the week. Tuesday has the lowest percent of absenteeism (11%).
Interestingly the results of the Americans with the lowest absenteeism on Tuesday is the same as what we are facing currently. Though I think in the part of the world where I am working, Monday will definitely be the highest absenteeism but would really love to see some real study conducted on this.
Happiness is man’s greatest aim in life. Tranquility and rationality are the cornerstones of happiness.
– Epicurus (famous Greek philosopher 341 BCE, Samos – 270 BCE, Athens)
Someone said I seem happy & I can only answer that my life is nothing short of ordinary & plain. But maybe Epicurus is right, tranquility is the cornerstones of happiness… so I guess being tranquil & rational in my way of life is really the cornerstones of happiness
yes..after this ‘chikungunya‘ battle, am now sufferring from blogger block. since its a long absence, i think its only right that I at least try to pen in 1 entry.
I used to wonder what I have to do to be more patient. Everyone ‘says’ I’m impatient.. but today – I really had a test of my patience. The driver (yes- just a driver) – I had to remain my composure while he display one of his infamous temperamental moods when he is instructed to do his job. Now.. internally – I wanted to tell him to get lost, but I didn’t. If there’s anything that can build someone’s patience – it has to be putting the person in charge. Now I understand why th good bosses that I have worked with seem to have so much patience for me (cause I think I do complicate their work lives once in a while), cause really.. they don’t have a lot of choice.
Now.. to refute those who ‘say’ I am impatient.. I am actually pretty normal in my score! Who say so? Well this is according to an online test. Below is my score.

Watched some TV interview on the TV & one of the interviewee (a woman) said the above statement. First of all – it does not even answer the question that the interviewer asked & 2nd of all – who cares shit you have more male or female friends? Totally unsure why she gotta start of her ‘answer’ with that statement.. (insecurity??) Also … Male dogs are also considered as ‘friends’ ya? 😛
That being said – I have heard this phrase many times & most of these ladies who said these seems to think the problem lies with the ‘other’ women / female with comments like “oh.. women are too sensitive, oh.. women are too hard to talk to…” Well I beg to differ.
I am more than proud to say that I have LOTS of lady friends whom are sensitive to my feelings, thoughtful of my needs & patient in my habits. Men.. well they are ok but can they understand the woman as another woman do or have the instincts that woman have?
So what’s my point ? My point is – for Goodness sake’s – don’t go blaming ‘other’ women not wanting to be your friends.. cause most probably you suck at being a friend like talk too much about yourself or too self absorbed and only men (who are probably not ‘listening’) seem to be the one able to fulfill your ‘needs’.
So – Please don’t go give women / female friends the bad name.
I don’t know how a bunch of supposed qualified policy makers can be so short sighted. But then again – this is Malaysia.. it should not be a surprised cause the policy makers are not actually that ‘qualified’ in the right manner. Read here
While our neighbour were busy improving the standards of education of the people, vigourously chasing the high tech companies investors, happily approving foreign talents PRs or visas, giving out tax breaks, conscientiously saving & investing & continuing improving public transport, we have a bunch of ‘smart alecks’ reducing the standards of our education, develops far-away places for government offices, increase fuel prices, approves PRs for low-skilled & low-educated Indons, enriching their own bank balances & build more mosques.
Actually – most M’sians knows this, it seems that the only shortsighted ones in M’sia are those policy makers or rather caused by their greed.
Now .. I’m not a big fan of Anwar cause seriously he’s no saint but just a very smart politician. And I never like politicians.
Anyway.. why very good? Well – its seems the M’sia drama King (the ex M’sia PM) has said that he will migrate if Anwar becomes the PM of M’sia. Well.. I think that’s wonderful news! A breath of fresh air for the M’sians and the most sanest thing he has said for the past 2 years!
Will now patiently wait for that actual action.
Totally estatic about this first ….
The 54-9 chicken man ‘mention’ yet again to another that he wants to leave this ‘so call’ lousy workplace. So yet again – he has proved himself to be a chicken that he has no guts to ACTUALLY commit the act of leaving. I have been waiting for this act for the longest time & has yet to materialised.
And again & again – he display more acts of 9 year old by ‘saying’ that he will ‘sabo’ this place (ie. if he actually can, considering he’s only 3 years here vs.people who are here for 15 years..hmmm)
My goodness! I already know & totally get it that you are a proven 54-9-chicken man. Not sure why you must keep ‘reinforcing’ this definition?
I don’t know why the police bother with ‘publicity’ reports on who or what they caught. The people of Johor still do not feel safe regardless of who or what they caught cause most of the time – the good people are ‘caught’ while the bad people goes scot free.
So – here’s the joke of the day > RM1Million missing from Police HQ follow by another joke on 2 other occasions
