Among my IT group of friends, there's one notable observation about the way we asians work and the way the westerners work. Most of the friends who works or have worked in Multinational Companies in one way or another reflects that the westerners rarely work overtime, and some of them even worked undertime. While asians? Quoting one friend "working 10-12 hours is normal for us".I try not to work

Warning: This post questions God, if you will be offended, please stop reading here.From time to time, I admire God's creations, but sometimes I am baffled by why certain things are such. I wonder why God gave us the wisdom tooth which are unnecessary, and I wonder why our eyes will go bad causing us to need glasses.There are quite a number of explanation on the Internet about why we have wisdom

There are 2 of my friends who have told me that they are thinking of changing job because they are overloaded with so much tasks that they need to work overtime and over the weekend. The conversation went something like this:Friend: I am going to change job.Me: Why?Friend: I am too tired with this job, there are so much to do, until I have to work overtime and over the weekends!

There have been some racial tensions happening in the country recently, and there's a couple of close friends who started to feel a bit panicky and angry during my conversations with them. They received short messages about riots that have happened (which is not true) or are going to happen in the towns (which is not true yet). I feel that we should all be aware of what's happening around us, but

I have a number of principles, which sometimes I tell others when some topic came up. For example:#1.why you don't buy Honda cars?I boycott Japanese products.Why?Bla bla bla#2.why you don't download movies?I don't support piracy.Why?Bla bla bla#3.why you don't print these out?It is not environmental friendly.#4.why you don't want to eat KFC?They are cruel.Why?Bla bla blaI soon came to realise

When I have a choice between meat and vege in a meal, I will choose the vege. When I have to eat meat, I prefer Halal Food. I felt lucky that I am staying in Malaysia where Halal Food is easy to obtain.There are a lot of filtering criteria for Halal Food, I will just point out 3:A specific way of slaughterI have never visited a Muslim slaughter house before, but I have visited the Chinese Pasar a

Recycling, that's one of the things that I tried to force myself to do everytime, but then, sometimes it is just too troublesome to do it. For example, I just have two empty cans of soft drinks that I just bought on a hot day, I used to just throw it in the dustbin with everything else. Its troublesome to pack them up, wait for more to come, and send to those specialized places who accepts empty

Was over at one of my friend's house a few days before last year's Christmas. When I found out that her Christian sister have a strong feeling against celebrating Christmas! And all these while I thought that the Christmas celebrations are started by Christians! Anyway, I tried poking on her:Me: so I heard you don't celebrate Christmas.She: yeah.Me: so funny, I thought you Christians celebrate

After my dad found out that I joined this talk about "How Cradle Investment Program can help you", my dad enrolled both of us for the "Money & You" mini program. Since my dad already enrolled, so what the heck, I thought I just went ahead and see what they have to say. Since most of the time, I try to learn from them in this type of talks. Not from what they teach, but from them.So I noticed two

Its been a good 3-4 months since our country's election. Most of my friends around me will find that I rarely try to talk them into voting for anyone, even though I am very passionate about my country and also the outcome of the election.Most of my friends have actually told me that they will surely be voting for the oppositions, but some still kept their faith on the current government.

Introduced to me by my animal loving sister, I have went to volunteered for the SPCA a couple of times. SPCA stands for Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Quite a number of friends do not know that SPCA actually practices animal euthanasia, for one reason, because of the number of animals that are surrendered to them every month. One of the SPCA worker actually told me, that they get

I have always been thought by Buddhism to be contented with life, and whatever that I have. For example, I drive a small car, and I never hoped to be able to drive a big car, I have a place to stay, and never hoped to be able to get a bigger or nicer place to stay. One of my friend asked me a tricky question a while ago, whether how would I know what type of life that I should be living, how I

I always felt that in every movie, there are some messages that the script writer is trying to bring across to the audience. And for this show Ratatouille, I have found two messages.One is when the Remy was asked to choose between his dream of cooking, and his family. And there's an outstanding quote that he said "How can I choose between two parts of myself?". So many times in life that a

Just found that a friend of mine refuses to practice yoga because she is a very religious Christian and yoga is said to have some poses which are worshiping the sun (sun salutation?). It really amazes me how this type of statement can be made. If you refuse to practice yoga, you can only say that yoga is not beneficial to yourself as an exercise, but please do not avoid it just because of some

Some people have discussed about whether Chess is really considered a sport or not, and I am going to compare it with football, from another point of view.In some areas, chess and football is quite similar, there are three types of results, win, loose, or draw.

On the way back from my work, usually I take the NKVE route, and sometimes, its interesting to see that the Touch N Go lane is even slower than the ticketing lane.

Its interesting to know that some people has regarded homosexuality as a sin because its against nature.I have heard a great buddhist monk discussed homosexuality before.

I can't help but feel annoyed when someone cut into my queue while driving, guess some of you have the same experience as well. The feeling that comes after that is revenge. Either I will later go annoy him back later, or I would just curse him.One important element that I realize now, is that revenge have no position in my life if I am a really religious person. All religions that I came across,

I still remember reading a poster about Human's Ten Most. And one of it is "人生最大的敌人是自己", which means that human's biggest enemy is oneself.

The world is saddened by the loss of a great entertainer, Steve Irwin. I have heard people stuffs like:A: ah, at least he died doing something that he likes.B: I thought it would be a croc that would nail him.And of course, a lot of people just offered their condolences and say RIP.What hits me, is that who or what actually killed him, was it really the stingray, or was it us? We are the ones who

Unless you have enough of it already.There are a lots of insightful stories about why Money Can Not Buy Happiness, but its all half truths.Imagine if you don't have enough money to have mee goreng for lunch and you have to eat maggie mee everyday.Imagine if you don't own a car, and have not enough budget to take public transport, and have to walk to work in the hot sun.Imagine if you don't have

With the escalating snatch thief cases in Malaysia, its hard not to overhear the discussion of such topics everywhere. People have been asking "What happened to Malaysia?", or "How could they do that?".I too, felt sad for the state of our country of living, and for the victims. But I for one, will never ponder why things have gone so bad nowadays.Its not hard to compare this with the state of

Lately, the radio have been broadcasting an advice to pedestrians to look right, look left, and look right again before crossing the road, as we have all been taught in primary schools.I have always wondered why do we need to look right twice? Well, if its because cars come from the right hand side, what about cases where we are crossing from the middle divider to another side where cars actually

I am just going to touch on the main 3 religions in the world today, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.Buddhism, being the oldest religion, does have some shortcomings, one of it is to explain where and how human come from. There are slight texts that might be matched to the theory if evolution instead of creation, but the texts are not highly emphasized. This topic will be important to someone

Its interesting to see how different groups of Christians respond differently to the DaVinci Code show. Some just look at it as an entertainment, some look at it as free publicity, and the last group that I wanted to talk about, look at it as evil and claim that those who go and watch it will go to hell.Well, I have not read all of the bible yet, but I am pretty sure that Jesus never told anyone,

Read this post a while ago: Taking the gravity out of prayerSome might find it interesting, some might find it funny, and some might find it insulting.It reminds me of a Buddhist joke that I have heard before. One of the main lessons that a Buddhist monk have to do is to learn how to meditate, and most of them will find it hard to sit down and do nothing for such a long period of time. So, for

Now that the movie DaVinci Code is showing on the cinemas, tones of people are writing protests on the media. I will just pick on one of the items that are protested, and that is whether Jesus is just a normal human being who got married and have children, as depicted in the book.I find it really time wasting to actually argue over such matters. Its as if arguing over whether Jesus is five foot

A friend asked me to give an example of good guy doing dirty tactics. After thinking for so long, its sad that I could only think of an example from Star Wars 3 when I have quoted from Business and War cases in my previous post.Anyway, its this scene where the Jedi tried to kill the Sith Lord in front of Anakin because he knows that if they trial the Sith Lord "according to the jedi law", the

In wars historically, or in business at the present time, there are usually the good guys and the bad guys. The bad guys will use all types of dirty tactics to benefit himself, and most of the time, at the expense of the good guys.Then this theory of "in order to beat the bad guys, the good guys have to use dirty tactics as well!" came out, mostly of what I read in the chinese history books and

Heard this story from one of the Buddhism talks that I have downloaded from the Net. There are two monks who are arguing about what is the real path to enlightenment, so Monk A decided that he will go and ask the Abbot. "Abbot, isn't a buddhist supposed to defer their own emancipation in order to save others, and by its consequent enlargement of the offer of salvation?", ask Monk A. "Yes, you are

This is one of the inspiring quotes that I have read in someone's signature in one of the forums that I visit regularly:There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't. - Warren BuffetI can't help but keep on pondering about it over and over again instead of brushing it aside as some numerical joke.Hope you find it inspiring as well. :)

I will share with you two short true stories and let you decide what's fate and what's destiny.Story 1-------My grandmother passed away 3 days before Chinese New Year in year 1999. A few months before Chinese New Year in 1998, she was having depression about the fact that she do not have much time to live on. And so she went to see a fortune teller, and the fortune teller told her that she would

The past week, I was trying to get a friend to go and watch the String Quartet in MPO with me. Its a Sunday Martinee show so it requires smart casual attire, which means no jeans, slippers, and t-shirts.To my surprise, I have two close friends that do not own even a pair of slack, they just have jeans! For someone who doesn't own even a pair of jeans, this was actually quite shocking to me!So

My sister asked me to volunteer in helping out in the last day of SPCA Adoption Fest in BSC yesterday, and so I did, without realizing that it would open up my mind so much.When its halfway through the day, around 2pm, there's this foreign couple who brought two brown colored cross breed dogs near to the adoption fest compound, and just sat there on the ground, with the two dogs, the white guy

"This happens every year.

Two weeks ago, found this little nest within my house's compound, it was very surprising, as I have no seen a nest constructed so low, around 6 feet off the ground. The nest is also not covered as the tree is 4 to 5 feet away from the porch.My dad told me there was a fight around the nest one day, and after my dad chased off like 5 birds from that area, only one egg is left. Sad. But the nest and

There are a lot of reasons for getting angry, someone annoyed us, someone back stabbed us, someone trying to belittle us, or maybe just someone underestimated us. These are what I named as legitimate reasons to be angry.What are the illegitimate reasons then? Its when we have lost something, or when we are afraid of loosing something. No, its not lost in the sense of loosing a limb or loosing a

The bible continuously amazes me, now I start to understand why my friend say that reading the bible is a very personal matter. Here's the quote:Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them,

One of the parts in the bible that I loved the most, is this:"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give

What are good decisions? Usually we tag it to some decisions in the past, that we believe had put us in a better place, compared to the other choice in the decision. But life is as such, that we can only go through it once, and we can't really go back in time and make the same decision again. So the good decisions are not absolute, something else can happen if we take the other choice, and make

One thing in King Kong that put me into some thoughts is how we judge whether a dinosaur is a good one or bad one! And it usually boils down to the simple deciding factor that the dinosaurs who eat meat are bad ones, and deserves to die! Well, it will be funny if we were to judge human the same way too.

The eagle have became more powerful as ever, seems that nobody is capable of stopping it! It is arrogant enough to act without regard of any of the international laws.A lot of people that I know oppose the eagle, but all they can do is just talk, talk and more talk without any action. What can we do? Sometimes its saddening to see the innocents being killed by suicide mooners, but sometimes

Well, at first thought, when you are wearing a police uniform, you should be anti rasuah already, and when the citizens see a police in a police uniform, they should know that the police is anti rasuah already, wonder how much difference would having a badge make. Bribery is a tricky business, its hard to nail a police officer, whether you did give or did not give the bribe in the first place,

While I was having lunch at my usual mamak place, two dumb and deaf people walked in, a guy and a gal. Well, they communicated with each other with sign language, and soon they have decided that they will have nasi kandar, so they pointed to the white rice, and picked the dishes that they like themselves.Then suddenly it hits me, how would they order drinks?

Over a teh tarik session with a friend, we started to talk about the recent bird flu outbreak that have not hit Malaysia yet. I told my friend that the only thing we could do now is to eat less poultry! Well, the friend then told me that if we are fated to die this way, there's no point lar, if we are not fated to die this way, we can still eat a lot of poultry and not be infected!While, this is

Some friends still do not know what my dream car looks like! Here it is!Here's some nifty review:Fiat Multipla (00- ) Multipla Personality MPVThis car attracted me because it can seat 3 people in the front row! and the back row also! And the shape is really, hmm, unique.Well, the only downside (for me!) is that it will be quite hard to park this car because of its width.

Everytime I heard news about Saddam Hussein being trialed, my heart aches a little. The TV kept on showing people who support the trial, and the people who want him hanged. But I wonder how many people actually want him to continue becoming the Iraq president? Of course, if there are any, I guess they won't be shown on CNN or any news channel that is accessible in Malaysia.Dr M mentioned before

This is the fasting month, and I have always felt and admitted that I for one, can't stand fasting, as I need a lot of drinking water in a day, and I eat quite a lot of snack sometimes.This is the month that I have always admired the Muslims for being able to fast.Most of the non-muslims have complained about racial inequality in our beloved country, but if it is possible at all, would you trade

Here's another "fair" review of Malaysian Idol, notice that the reporter does give credit to Daniel's talent.MUSIC : A Mimpi for DanielSo many have questioned whether its a talent show or a popularity show.But what actually is talent in singing? Compared to other arenas like Badminton or Chess, where the winner of a competition is usually cited as having the talent, singing seems to be pretty

Some of those close to me have known my prediction when it comes down to the last two on Friday night, I would just re-iterate the points that I have told them over here. Though another point that I gave was, that 99% of the votes were already confirmed before the performance on Friday night, only 1% of the votes might be swung to a different singer after Friday night. Nita is too similar to

So many mails have I received, about complains on the government, for increasing the petrol price. Anyone who have read the Who Moved My Cheese book might spot something similar? Well, the government have subsidized us for so long, that we have forgotten how much petrol really cost outside our beloved country, and when the GLOBAL fuel price increase, we demand our government to fork out more

Now that it have turned into another drama, I have to add "If its really" in my title! :PIf its 5million, let's do some maths. A D-G generally earns around 20k from the government every month, excluding all the other invitation for coffee. So, take 5 million, divide by 20k, that's 250 months worth of his pay, divide it by 12 again, that's around 20 years worth of his pay.So the government pays

The thing that made me laugh is not the event that is happening in the cartoon, but the way that the cartoonist make it possible for us to identify who is the Darth Vader's character! I can only think of another one person -> Jackie Chan, that can be drawn in Darth Vader's suit and still be identifiable. ;^)

I believe everyone remembers this incident, where a VCD seller was shot, and one of the customers dining nearby was hit by the stray bullet. The customer sued the department, and the VCD seller was hospitalized.Most of the response I heard from my friends and from the press at that time, is that the government officer should not be allowed to carry guns, as that jeopardize the public's safety.

Ah Meng is a 100 meter sprinter, he only have one opponent, Johari. Everyday, he would race with Johari to see who finish first. The thing that Ah Meng do not understand, is why Johari is allowed to start at the 50 meter mark when Ah Meng have to start running at the 0 meter mark. Well, Ah Meng kept on competing with Johari everyday, and kept loosing everyday.One day, Ah Meng finally gave up, he

One thing that used to puzzle me about MLM is where do all the money come from? At first I thought its all from the margin of the products that is sold. But soon I was explained to by a friend, that MLM have the Marketing word at the back, so its actually a form of marketing. We have seen billions and billions spent by company for marketing, sometimes even more than the costs of the products that

An interesting idea that I have agreed to, is that time is just an axis, and actually there is no past and no future. Remember that during our secondary school years, we have learned how to calculate an object's position at time T+t if we know the velocity, and the starting position. We can plot a graph, of the location that the object is going to be at time T+t1, T+t2, and T+t3, and if we plot

Was chatting with a friend about relationships, and she told me "I don't know what is sacrifice".It put me into some deep thoughts, hmm, what is sacrifice?? Well, I told her that "Doing something bad to yourself for the good for others." But continued to tell her "But good and bad are relative and most of the time not apparent!".I think a lot of people talked about sacrifices in relationships,

One of the core attraction of MLM is that you can build networks of networks, which can generate income for you even though you might not have to do much when you have a big enough and deep enough network. That's how MLM can help you to achieve not only financial freedom, but also give you more time to spend with your family, and on things that you like to do.I am a supporter of Open Source

I think the next MLM bible that most MLM involved people hold on to is Drink Coffee, Tell Stories, Make Money.I have a friend, who is also anti-MLM, once told meIf what you want to do for the rest of your life is to Drink Coffee and Tell Stories, then you are suitable for MLM.And I can't stop nodding my head after hearing him say that, maybe its

Besides Coke being the default drink for my favorite fast food chain MacDonald, I used to also prefer Coke because I find their marketing campaign better than that of Pepsi, just because they don't pay millions to actors and footballers just for the image itself.

You can send this pic as an e-card if you want.A common question that people ask when they saw this type of campaign, is "What about leather?", isn't there supposed to be anti-leather also instead of just anti-fur??And the common answer to this is that most of the source of leather, be it goat, pig, or cow, have other parts that we make use of, especially for food.
