The Ugly Malaysian.....

I came across this article in the NST on the ugly habits of Malaysian shoppers list.... no 2 says people trying on bikinis and leaving their vaginal discharge on the bikinis. And the department store staff had to throw them away of course(sure or NOT!)... I have forgotten what number one was.... but my god no 2 is already like the most disgusting thing ever....

This has inspired me to come out with my own list of the ugly habit of Malaysians, when going to the gym. I had been going to the gym in umich and had never seen these kind of things. This is only in my beloved Malaysia. Here goes:

1. Resting on a gym machine, while picking nose. This is top notch skill indeed.
2. Use hair dryer to dry arm pit. I can still tolerate people drying their body and feet (from a distance) with hair dryer, but it is just ridiculous on armpit. I am just waiting to see someone using hair dryer to blow their u-know-what hair. I think I will lose my mind and smack the guy on the head should this happen.
3. Pee in the shower. These people think their pee smell like perfume and make the whole shower area stinking like animal cage.
4. Fill 1.5 litre bottle at the water cooler. Yes I understand we want cool water to refresh after a good workout, and they dont serve cold water in the jugs, but out of courtesy, use a cup or smaller bottle la. The water cooler is not discharging water at jet speed...
5. Produce 'orgasm' sounds when doing weight training or whatever. This is totally unnecessary, and it doesnt help with anything. If anything, it just make u look plain ridiculous.

It has been a while....

They closed my mail account...

You know you have been offline long enough when hotmail closes your account..... they did reserve an account for me, an I just need to activate it, and that took like 10 seconds. Now i got 1GB of space(previously 250 mb), but they deleted all my mails??!! Having said that, when someone never login for more than one month....

Work

If you have been working for more than one year.... and still not sure if you are doing the right thing, or what the hell that you really want..... what does that mean? I consider a job is worth doing if it surrounds you nd engages you with smart people from whom you can learn new things. Or at least surrounds yourself with more smart people than dumbasses(because sometimes you still need them around). That is good enough for me. Then again, people always say that you spend 5 days a week at office, and basically you only have 2 days only for family or anything outside office. That a hell lot of time spent at work! And if work is shit, your life is shit too.

On being out of favour....

This is really a shitty feeling. This is when you find your superior is making decisions that do not meet your expectations. Everything was going as planned and predicted, and all of a sudden something out of nowhere which really was quite surprising. Being half paranoid, this made me analyse everything to the nitty gritty details, from whatever that ive said during the meeting to the look that I gave to the boss when I met him in the hallway. Or it could even mean nothing.

Who moved my cheese...

This is supposed to be one of the best selling business books. I am supposed to read this as prework for my eagerly waited training/course in Langkawi next week. The objective of this course is among others to basically unlock your potential, and for self reflection etc, in the ever enlightening process of determining what is that that you really want in life and what you are best at doing. Enlightenment is what I seek in Langkawi, and hopefully the course will give me some light on what i should be thinking about now. Nevertheless, I havent been to Langkawi and a long weekend plus two days in Langkawi sounds like a good plan, isnt it.
