One of my friends E-mailed me this.

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If my arms are full of papers, boxes, books, or supplies, don't open the door for me. I need to learn how to function as a paraplegic and opening doors with no arms is good training in case I should ever be injured and lose all use of my limbs.

5. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is priority. I am psychic.

6. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

7. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

8. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

9. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

10. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

11. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to managers' hell.

12. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so much taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

13. Wait until my yearly review and THEN tell me what my goals SHOULD have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway.

Haven't really updated anything in a while so here goes. :)

You feel as if you have missed out on a great deal that life had to offer and you go about trying to make up for past failures. Naturally at times you get depressed and you try to compensate for your 'missed opportunities' by living your life to the full. This is what, perhaps, may be described as 'living with exaggerated intensity'. In this way you feel you can break the chains of the past and start again - and it could be that you are right.

You are full of stress at this time. It would seem that you are having more than your fair share of trials and tribulations and you are looking for a way out. You are not quite sure which way to go but the advice is - 'Stop trying so hard'.

You are a demanding egocentric and therefore quick to take offence. This attitude makes people feel somewhat inadequate when in your company and so it is no wonder that at times you feel alone and unwanted.

You are presently experiencing excessive stress as a result of self-restraint. You act and think differently from the common herd and you want to be liked and admired for yourself and to associate with people who feel and act as you do. Because of this need to be self-reliant and to break away from mediocrity, you are finding this situation most uncomfortable and you are experiencing considerable anxiety - perhaps even more than you feel the capacity to cope with. You need to find a 'soul mate', someone whose standards are as high as your own - but where? Keep on searching... The situation is uncomfortable and you would like to break away from it, but you refuse to compromise with your opinions. You are unable to resolve the situation because you are continually postponing the making of necessary decisions. You are stubborn but this is no deterrent to a happy life, so why drop your standards. Think positively, everything will work out. It has worked out successfully for you in the past and it will again in the future.

The tensions that you are trying to cope with are a result of conditions which are really beyond your control. As a consequence of this almost impossible situation and not being able to get your own way, you are subjected to frustration and almost ungovernable anger. You are trying to remedy the situation but the stress that you are experiencing is making the situation even worse. You feel so inadequate that you are not quite sure which way to turn. A good suggestion would to be to try to relieve the stress and anxiety by participating in some very active physical activity which will relieve your tension.

I happened to chance upon this video ..



And it brings back memories .. of my childhood. :)

This question has been circling around my head for quite a while now.

I wonder .. should I go for Lasik?

Yep, this is my little escapade up north.

--



One of the many random photos I took - the customs of our northern neighbor. And yes, I'm glad we reached early - there were a lot of vehicles behind us.

This picture captures the inner pek chek - ness [Either that, or she's just trying to act cool.] that my mom is feeling. AND I LOVE THAT HAIR =X

---



If anyone is wondering why I actually took a photo of a lady and her line of work, you can rest assured that I have not developed any sort of unhealthy fetish(s). Rather, there's this interesting .. scenario that presents itself.

As anyone who drives up north would know, going by the second link for approximately 5-10 minutes would result in driving into a toll booth and paying like, RM8++ ?

The thing is, after passing this toll booth and driving for another 10 minutes or so .. there's will be this other toll booth collecting another RM10++ ?

So yeah .. why?

While going up this kerb, the Altis took a little scrap on the undercarriage. This means that:

1) I'm getting fat.
2) There's too many things in the car.

Though I like to think it's the former then the latter, I just can't but wonder if it's a sign from the gods .. [I hate to admit it but seriously, as of late, my life as a driver has been more towards eating and sleeping .. LOL!]

Your typical small Malaysian town scenery. A far cry from the metropolis Singapore of today :)

---

Took this picture at one of the many rest stops along the North-South Highway. [ And don't ask me what's "Fried half boiled" =X ]



---



The drive up north. A free dinner if anyone can figure out why I took this picture. :)

---

The following photos aren't Man Hunk quality but still, you have to admit it: they look quite .. [Insert your own words] with the shades on. =P






---

And finally, the "farewell" photo :) [Don't you just love my mushroom-like hair?]

Okay ... to bed I go.
