Work and play!

Work can have it's ups and downs. Being in the lower position would require strong communication between the upper management and the workers below. Upper management need to synchronize their orders and not give instructions that would complicate or confuse workers under them. The effects of being unsynchronized could bring damaging effects, lost of time and money. But if it's the fault of the upper management then the lower ranks one have nothing to loose. I listened to u, u gave me different info so what u expect to get? The results u want? Dream on... Sure not 'tepat' one. That's what I learnt at my training. I also learnt to carry on asking to clarify any doubts. Since we are working with management who keep changing their mind, constantly checking up with the upper management would be the most ideal solution to try to finish a task. So what if they scold? I need them to pay me. That's it. They are not gonna be going with me on a round of golf(berangan macam ahli korprat...hehe!) on Sunday or hanging out with me at the bar. What happens at the working place stays there. I don't give a crap IF I got some yelling. But thankfully I never got any yet and they did tell me to ask if I have any doubts as they said they won't scold as they know people like me are under practical. It's a learning experience with the bennefit of getting paid. The salary does help me out lah financially. More money is better right? Hehe!

Oh... the finals for Akademi Fantasia 3 are up tommorrow. So we are down with Mawi, Felix, Marsha and the curly haird girl. I seriously dunno who will win. I think the descision by Astro to maintain the confidentiality of the SMS voting results is good. To me it maintains a fair win by who ever who wins. Atleast the win was by merit rather than popularity. I mean I did like Amy but she was knocked off. I think it was fair. She had the looks but her singing I don't think can be compared by the likes of the remaining contestants. I mean this is my point of view as a music listener rather than a music performer. There are many fan clubs spread all over Malaysia and God knows if there are ones overseas. Fan clubs would obviously boost the voting results of their fan. Hence, it would be a fight of who voted the most rather than the actual credentials of the singer. I mean there is a vast difference in the amount of viewers who actually vote for a good performer than those who vote for someone who they think is 'good'.

Being as stressed out as most people would know me, a walk at the beach in Klebang, Malacca with Nurul was certainly relaxing. I mean we obviously didn't soak ourselves to the bones and totally mess up my car with sand. But, we had fun moderately by walking on the sand and waiting for the sea to wash up on our legs on the beach. Hehe! I had fun. Reminded me of how relaxing life can be though I am surrounded with demands, datelines and difficult task to handle on a normal day. Seing the nice ocean with Indonesia way beyond that was breathtaking. In short it was relaxing to me lar and I cannot stop mentioning how nice it was especially with my sweetheart.

I am trully blessed with great friends who are ever so helpful and understanding. Friends from my extended family in Malacca to the colleagues at work to the guys over in Penang. Thank you so much. When your down and out it's them who are there and brighten your day. Friendship is something which is dear to me and cannot be bought. Happiness is the result of good friendship. We all have misunderstandings at times. But who cares? Don't couples fight too? Hehe!

My little car got a nice wax the other day by it's no. 1 fan, me! Hahah! It was not that hard cause I stumbled upon some wax my sister-in-law got and applied it to my car. Deffinitely looks different as it looks more shinning. It's not really much of 'Wow, that car looks great!" but more of it looks shiny and clean. Maintaining things sometimes is good cause they last longer and they make u proud of what u have no matter how much it's worth. I use to polish my BMW 3 series scale model car in the 90's and I was pretty happy about it. Hehe!

To people out there. Let me say something. Enjoy life each moment. F*ck all those worries and those barriers that confine or limit you. They will always be there in your life but look at more positive moments in life. Be happy. Do things that please you cause that's when u have achieved your happiness. No I am not saying go out and steal a Mercedes and go for a joyride all the way to Phuket. The simple pleasures in life in fact can be the ones that can bring the most happiness. An outing to the mall or cinema. Does that cost much?

Best of luck to all in what ever you do and remember to spread some love around! Yeah baby!
