Quickie - 5/8/2009; Fear

Being human, i think this feeling or part of us is truly unique. For instance, i fear of the speed camera. One click and a summon is coming your way. Hahahaha~

But one of the thing i feared happeing in the current pandaemic appeared in the free Sun newspaper this morning; Tamiflu resistant Flu was found. Although it's in US, in time if were not careful, could be found worldwide. Ouch. Everbody needs to play their role in this thing. Nobody's a winner right now.

Another thing which i don't fear but don't like is the state of the smog in our air here. This morning is worse than yeasterday, which in turn was worse than the day before. Not good. My nose is sensitive, but with the recovery from my sickness has become even more sensitive than ever.
Hope it rains soon... *Cough cough cough!

Quickie - 3/8/2009; Sickness and Muhassabah

Been sick since Wednesday last week. Thank God it's not H1N1. I haven't fully recovered up to this point, but well enough to get back in the office. Only the occasional cough and the still sore throat bugging me from time to time.

Being sick has it's wonders for me. For a person whose immune system is odd to the extent that it's hard for me to get sick but it's worse than others if i did, i see it as a time for me to Muhassabah myself. It seems that i haven't been taking good care of myself the past weeks, more importantly i haven't been taking care of my conduct at all. Seems that God is only fair in giving me His warning. In any case, i'd like to apologize to anyone whom i've taken some stick to lately. I'm only human afterall.

Blog to continue as usual~~~

Quickie - 28/7/2009; Amused and frustrated

I'm amused that this time around, i had cleaned up Aoi-chan after about 4 weeks since the last one. I'm also amused with the fact that after 10 years since my first self-initiated hair-do, i'm still sticking with the local barber rather than following the trend and shifting myself to the salons. Maybe it's because of the price? (i'm a cheapskate after all?) or maybe it's because of convenience? (my middle name perhaps?) or maybe it's because of the rather warm and friendly atmosphere? or maybe it's because of the free mini-massage you get at the end?
In either case, i'm still sticking to it.

In another tone though, my frustration. I'm rather shocked that some lorries on our roads were found to be using the second-hand winter tyres. FYI, as the name says, those tyres are to be used only in 4 season countries. They just couldn't stand the operating conditions of the Malaysian road and weather combo. People out there who're only interested in making quick profit are literally sending out mega-tonne bombs on our roads. Tell that to the relatives of the dead caused by freak accidents.
Also adding to my frustration is Aoi-chan's newly found out problem. Read about it in my other blog on Aoi-chan, link at the sides as usual.
Oh... and the Rm280++ bill for the washing machine at home also has made me frustrated. It needed fixing... and that's the price. Cruddy fish.

Quickie - 16/7/2009; Of Parking, Security and Death

Noticed that the management of the apartment i bought recently put up a signage board telling us to park our vehicles within the apartment compound at our own risk. Odd. Then what pupose does the hired security guards have? Toll booth / Gate controller? i also remembered that most shopping malls are the same. Park at your own risk.
Look, the sole purpose of the security guard is to guard our security. This in turn encapsulates our personal belonggings and stuff (house and car). If we are to park at our own risk, ensure that we take good care of our house's security and the management aren't responsible for the loss of our stuff within the compound... then the security guard isn't necessary at all. A total waste of the residents'/shopper's money.

Read in today's free copy of The Sun that a well known guy and his wife had undergone 'assisted suicide'. Read more on the net or something. The point i'd like to make here is that, assisted or not, suicide is a definite no-no. If you believe in God (i believe in Him), then you should know that only He is allowed to take your life. For He created you and He knows where He set your end. We don't know and we're not given the privellege to do so. So please people, believe in Him. All that happens in life is due to His will. We as human can only try, but is He who will determine everything.

p/s: The quickie will now come with a short title as to give a glimpse of what i'm blogging about. Helps you to avoid reading boring stuff that i put up. Hahahaha~~~

Quickie - 15/7/2009

Whoa... mid month already. That was fast.
Started my routine of excercise that i left for a long time a few days ago. One of the key elements that pushed me to restart it again was the health checks made by various exhibitioners at our HR weeks' booths.
All i can say is that... i'm not that healthy. Funny, since i am in terms of EQ... but the figures say otherwise for my FQ (Fat Quotient... i made this up myself). Oh well, gotta keep this body in good shape. Need to use it for another 60 or so years...

Speaking of good shape, ever felt like punching someone in the face (change their shape) for answering a serious question in a very2 dumb way? I had a slight urge to do so last week during a seminar that i attended. The representatives from our 'beloved' government agencies gave some of the worst answers ever to the questions thrown at them during a panel discussion session in the seminar. It's either bad manners or pure idiocy. What seminar? Go find out yourself. i'm too ashamed to say... that way i can spare them from embarassment.
