Few days ago, Omega mention something about his new year resolution.
OMG, I didn't make any resolution this year!
I didn't because of previous experience which most of what I resolve to do didn't realize. So why need it.
Omega got a point by saying at least it will lead our way of life. Yeah, I think I can make a resolution now....I need to read thru the whole bible.
Hopefully it can be realize.

A Good Seminar
Just return from a church seminar. Today topic is 'The History Of Old Testament'.
It is well presented and content is solid. I never regret to attend it although it is far.
Tomorrow morning I will attend the 2nd session, at another place. But much nearer than today's place.
The topic will be on Genesis chapter 1-11.
Now I'm very tired, need to turn in.

Reprimand
One of my colleague being reprimand by my Accounts Executive. I don't want to say any bad things on this colleague of mine. But indeed her work attitude is of no good and rude in speech.
In directly it also connected to me. I recommend her to my company. She is the wife of my friend. Luckily I have no say in hiring of her. It is my Accounts Executive who take her in.
Bad decision cause a bad working environment.

Ray of hope
This afternoon, when I'm in my Financial Controller (FC) room, he suddenly tell me that there are some news on increment. At first I thought it could be for the company staff which I'm handling now.
Me : Is it for the company X staff?
FC : No is for the whole company. But it won't be so soon, later.
(FC seeing me wearing a shirt he give me)
FC : My house still got some shirt, when I got time I'll pack it for you.
Me : Thank you.
Before HR Head leave the office, I ask her did she know about the news of we getting pay raise. Nope! she don't know anything about it?
Strange, how come my FC told me first?

Advertising Gimmick
Is a very unique way to promote the sales of condoms with a singer as your spokeperson....
excerpt from EastSouthWestNorth.
The Xuecun Condoms (2/15/2006) (Netease) Xuecun is the name of a brand of condoms in China. According the the records, the trademark rights were registed by a Hebei province enterprise, registration number 3495517 valid between September 7, 2004 through September 6, 2004. Only the Chinese letters 雪村 and the phonetic spelling "Xuecun" were registered, without any associated images. Below is a photo of an early edition of the Xuecue condoms.
Alas, when the name Xuecun is mentioned, the general public will tend to immediately think of the singer Xuecun, famous for the song "All northeasterners are living Lei Feng's" (东北人都是活雷锋). (East Asian Economic News via Yahoo!) Acting on a tip, a reporter went into a pharmacy and saw the Xuecun condoms displayed with other brands. A female salesperson recommended to the reporter: "You buy the Xuecun brand. Xuecun is the image spokesperson for the company. He did commercials for them. Many people buy this brand." The reporter deliberately asked, "Who is Xuecun?" The female salesperson laughed and said, "This one who sang 'All northeasterners are living Lei Feng's'. Everybody on this planet knows!" The reporter saw that the Xuecun condoms were manufactured by a Heibei company and sold at 25 yuan per packet. The box is green in color. On the top right corner is a cartoon drawing of Xuecun, with his tongue sticking out in the shape of a condum and holding a condom packet in his hand. The words 雪村 appear in the middle with "Xuecun." The product description is: Preventing sexual diseases begins with Xuecun.
When the reporter contacted Xuecun himself later, he was shocked: "I have never authorized this factory. I have never heard about th is. They used my name and image for condoms and this is an insult to my character." Xuecun has referred the matter to his lawyer. It is one thing to have an identical name (Xuecun means "Snowy village" literally), but it is something else to use an image. Does the real Xuecun look like the cartoon figure on the condom package?

Irresponsible Motorcyclist
Yesterday, my office boy got a shock, when he was informed that his kid met an accident and now is in General Hospital.
Initially the teacher told him that his kid was fall from his school bas. We suspect that his son's mischief that have bring this disaster.
So his son was at General Hospital and have a series of medical check-up including X-ray. The poor kid is unconscious when he was admit to the Hospital but later he reagain conscious.
When the kid was calm down, he relates that he is being hit by a motorcycle. It is a hit and run accident....luckily somebody saw the incident and know who is the motorist. My office boy make a police report.
Why this motorcyclist so irresponsible to his own act. It is concerning life and death. The poor boy could be bleed to death or hit by another vehicle from the back.

CCTV Solves Crime
I pick up this news from EastSouthWestNorth.
(Xinhua) The term CCTV here is based upon the UK usage of Closed Circuit Television. The following images were recorded in Beijing. In the first photo, a young man on a motorbike reached an intersection and pressed the button for the traffic light. In the second photo, the light has turned green and the motorcyclists moved ahead. A red BMW came flying down at 100 kmph. In the third photo, there was impact. The motorcyclist was dead on arrival at the hospital, while the red BMW fled the scene.
How was the crime solved? There are only just 40 or so red BMW's of this model in Beijing, which means that they are easily identifiable. Once the media broadcasts went out, an auto-repair shop called in to say a red BMW had been brought in for repairs to the windshield and front bumper. The police retrieved the replaced windshield and confirmed that there was a collision. However, the BMW had left the shop already. However, another civilian report led to the owner of a red BMW which was no longer seen in the neighborhood. The photograph of the owner's 24-year-old was shown to the auto-repair shop mechanic and positively identified. The man was then apprehended and he confessed to his crime. Where was the car? Based upon the confession from the culprit, it would be found in an unattended parking lot in the city of Foshan (Guangdong province) with a white paint job, new chassis and engine registration numbers and a Shanghai license plate!

21st Century Kids
The following are my conclusion on today's kids (primary school kids) after fetching and sending them back home from Religion Education Class :-
1. Stubborn - never follow instruction or advise
2. Cruel - today those kids are playing firecracker and the victim is fish,earthworm etc. Living creature will be put together with the firecracker and 'bang'.....sending those pity creatures to heaven.
3. Foul-mouthed
4. Playful - especially on dangerous items.....today is fire!......luckily they spare the van

I'm a driver
Every Friday after work I'll rush back home. I take bath and have my dinner before I go to church.
It 6.30pm, the church service haven't start yet until 8pm. I know I'm a bit too early to arrive there. But I have a mission to complete....to drive the gospel van and fetch up church members who do not have transport to attend service.
Usually on every Friday I'll fetch the members and after the service end another guy will send them home. Just name this guy A.
Since on every Saturday Guy A will fetch up the members, he will just drive the van back to his home. Sometimes if Guy A not free to send them back after Sabbath service, it my turn become the driver.
Today it a bit special, Guy A is not around....he and other choir group member is out of town....they attend a fellowship service. At the same time, today is Thaipusam and the festival is a gazetted holiday in my state.
It a hectic day, today is also my turn to speak on the pulpit and I haven't finish my sermon. After breakfast, I quickly finish up my sermon. Well I finish at 12:15 pm, it's time to take my lunch.
12:35pm I've reach the church to take the van. Around 2:20pm I'm back at church for 2:30pm service. I'm lucky to be on time and I proceed to lead the service.
4:00pm service ended and after a short chit chat, it time to send the members home. I reach home 5:30pm.
Tomorrow morning I have to wake up early in order to pick-up the children for Religion Education Class. It is very unusual for me to pick up children on Sunday. But what to do, other youth are already out of town.

Our Habit
Do you realize that sometimes we travel to one place using a long distance road instead of using a shorter distance road? It is because we are more comfortable using the road we are more familiar with.
Today I'm having lunch with my boss. I've notice the dishes he order is almost 100% same as what we eat few days ago at this same restaurant. Not only this time I've notice his habit of ordering the same dishes, he does it almost everything and at every other restaurant.
Although we go to a famous and expensive restaurant, after eating a few rounds of the same dishes you'll realize the dish is no longer have the special taste as when you eat it first time.
Oh man!this is not a road side stall which do not have varieties of dishes, he should have order different dishes upon our every visit to all the famous restaurant!
He just don't know how to utilize his money to order good food! Well for me, I just want to eat good food but I'm without money. But again my boss just order the same old dishes. Haiz~~

Legend
a) Green color = computer table
b) Yellow color = writing desk
c) Grey color = pathway
d) Blue line = partition
d) Circle "O" = chair
e) Red color circle "O" = new ruler
When I'm happily govern my territory, suddenly come a foreign power to claim part of my territory. A "supreme being" (my boss) command me to create a vacant land to this foreign power to rule.
I clear a table (the one which is beside my computer) for the new ruler.
~ 'E' is one of my company's engineer. He will be my neighbor for about 1 year or at least until our project finished.
The new ruler drop by to see his new land. Not satisfy with the new territory...he say it is too small. He got a lot of royalty/minister/guests (supplier/subcontractor/etc) and goodies (files) to store when he settle in.
Before he come, we have arrange a new computer for him. After his inspection he request a larger writing desk and cabinet.
Ok, we order a new desk and cabinet for him.....but we do not have any idea where to place it. Although my drawing seem to have a lot of space between 'A' table and 'C' partition.....it actually only a narrow pathway....I'm a lousy drawer! The desk will come tomorrow and we have request the furniture owner (interior designer) to help us to rearrange our sitting.
So just wait and see how many land will be apportion back to me.

~ 'C' is my Account Executive. She also have her own territory, she have a partition to separate between 'A' and 'B'.
~ 'D' is my Financial Controller. He sit a room. Sitting in a room is like disconnecting ourself with outside world. It's very boring sitting in a room.

Hey! Don't Blame me
Remember my previous post, I've mention one manager call me during New Year holiday? So today I've start work and have to figure out how to solve the problem.
This manager did call my FC before he call me and have tell me that according to my FC a bank require few days to issue out a Bank Guarantee (BG) which I've already know. But the problem is we can't wait for that "few days", we want it immediately. Which mean I have to get it process out TODAY.
As suggest by my manager we have other option which we could issue a Insurance Guarantee (IG), it's very fast and can be issue out within the same day.
So I work toward this Insurance Guarantee option, I source here and there to get the thing issue out. I call EON Bank.....they never heard IG before only have BG, I call Maybank.....they need 3 days to process, I call Alliance Bank.....reply same as EON Bank.
Wait a minute.....I've heard from my manager he did issue one IG in Alliance Bank, then how come this guy say they only have BG......okay......after further confirmation with my manager it is Allianz Life Insurance and not Alliance Bank.
Move on to call Allainz Life Insurance......hooray they got IG but the officer-in-charge is on leave and the IG could only be issue out tomorrow. Ok fine! just fax to me whatever form or format that require to do IG.
In the meantime I did ask my colleague to help out by ask our insurance broker concerning the matter. Out of sudden my FC emerge from his room.
What are you doing?
Why are you sourcing to issue a IG, we can just issue BG from EON Bank!
(FC go back to his room, I enter his room.)
So I explain to him again that issue a BG take few days and we don't have the time to wait for it.
Why you didn't brief me on the matter, I can call the EON Bank to issue out the BG within 1 day!
Oh my god, you are the one who told the manager that it is impossible to issue the BG within 1 day and the manager suggestion to issue IG, now you say the BG can be issue within 1 day!
Nevermind I just leave it to him to make the call.....and at the end of the day the BG is out!
I let you know who he call. Firstly he call our local bank officer-in-charge of BG letting her know of the situation. Then my FC proceed to call the her Dept Head. Later he call the CEO of EON Bank HQ in KL. See how this have involve so many call to the key person.
So in some way i got blame of not doing my job properly.

Why people like to argue?
Today some of our family friends come to my house for chit-chat. Later the conversation turn into some debate on certain issue. Two uncle keep on explaining, defending, refute to my father and me.
Well I just sit there to listen to their argument. I nod my head when they explain their stand to me. I try not to side no either party.....I'm neutral mah!
I've make my conclusion (in my heart) after a length of debate between them. They are just some old people who got nothing to do and the debate is just one of the method to kill time. Both of them tackle on different root of the problem which will certainly have different explanation. Even they argue until death also could not solve the problem.
I do not know whether they are aware of it or not, but I just excuse myself and leave the nonsense debate to my father to handle. Muuahahaaaa
People like to stand on their view of point, don't want to lose face when they are wrong and it will lead to an endless debate. Ego is one of the problem, if you really don't know on the subject matter don't try to be the expert! It will make the whole situation worse.
Admit your mistake when you are wrong. Keep your mouth shut if the subject matter is not your field expertise. To give opinion is okay but not need to stand firm on your view point when others challenge it, just keep it to yourself as others have their own thought. Then everything will be okay....no debate & arguing on nonsense subject.

My Handphone Number
It have been 8 months since I own a handphone. I take extra precaution not to give my number to any Tom, Dick or Harry. I only give it to my friends and some colleague, but not to my boss or my FC and immediate Manager. Common sense tell me that if they have your handphone no, they will call you at midnight when you are sleeping or very early in the morning when you are still in bed.
Until one fine day, I have to call my FC using my handphone on something very urgent! It a mistake to make that call. At last my FC got my handphone no and so far so good as he haven't call me at midnight or early morning.
But my number will be circulate among my immediate Manager. Okey! My FC did give it to one of my manager and he call me up telling me about one very urgent matter. Indeed the matter is very urgent, but what can I do, our office is still close for Chinese New Year holiday! Nevermind I can sacrifice my time to go back to office to attend the matter.....but the bank is close on Saturday and my boss still in China! So I tell him I can't solve the problem and have to wait until our office open on next Monday, which he say "ok" Oh my God!....then why you still want to call my personal handphone leh when the thing can wait until Monday?
haiz~~ sooner or later my phone number will reach my boss.......he like to call people during midnight. In future I might not have a peaceful night!

Nevermind I can sacrifice my time to go back to office to attend the matter.....but the bank is close on Saturday and my boss still in China! So I tell him I can't solve the problem and have to wait until our office open on next Monday, which he say "ok" Oh my God!....then why you still want to call my personal handphone leh when the thing can wait until Monday?
haiz~~ sooner or later my phone number will reach my boss.......he like to call people during midnight. In future I might not have a peaceful night!

Auspicious Phrases
During my Chinese New Year holiday stay at my eldest sister house.....I receive a midnight call, a long distance call from Canada.....or Vancouver to be exact. The caller is my eldest sister's sister but not my sister.....confuse?.......it a another story, I'll write about it later.
So she is looking for my eldest sister......bad timing, she is not around as my parent and her are holidaying in A'Famosa. Ok, I just told her to call back tomorrow as they will be back by then and I'll also inform my sister about her calling.
Haiz~~~ I thought she will hang up after wishing me Happy Chinese New Year. Nope she just keep on wishing me with many more auspicious phrase.....ok, I just let her wish me loh while I just said to her "same to you"....."same to you"...."same to you". At last her hang up......what a long winded lady with so many phrases!
My sister call up at the afternoon before they come back, so I just mention about her sister call up and I say "I think your sister want to wish you Happy Chinese New Year". Well my sister answer me "What she want to wish me again?, she already wish me on Eve of Chinese New Year, 1st day of New Year and 2nd day of New Year! Every time she call she will say some auspicious phrases and she request that I also wish her with auspicious phrases and can't be the same as her!"
Ha!.....like that ah! nevermind lah I just accomplish my duty to inform her of the phone call. Luckily I didn't have to go thru the wishing me back conversation with her sister!
Well, her Canada sister call up again that day. Again I tell her they haven't back yet......as they will be back at night time. Guess what, she want to wish my parent Happy Chinese New Year!
True enough she call back at mid night......my sister ask her to call back another time, as she is so tired.
Early morning next day she call again, my sister tell her everybody haven't up yet call back later. Ok she call back around 9.30 am when we are having our breakfast. Well she wish everybody....my sister, my brother-in-law, my father & my mother......with many....many auspicious phrases.
