My daughter knows something

Yesterday afternoon, my wife brough her back home early as she was not working.

When she is back home, the daughter just pull out all the toys and lay it on the floor to play with it. One of her favourite toy was the mini "fish" that will "swim around this fully automated machine, and it will sound out pretty loud music, and she will be enjoy looking at it.

However, she would normally have problem switching on the toy as her finger can't really reach that small on/off switch at the back, so when my mother in-law wanted to help her switch it on, my daughter actually put her little finger on her lips (meaning to keep quiet) and then, she place both palm together and put it beside her ear and tilted her head on the both palm (meaning sleeping).

Then my mother in-law realise that the grandfather is sleeping in the room, thus my daughter ask her don't switch it on.

She don't talk much though, but she knows something!!

The Law of Garbage Truck

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can re-focus on what's important.


Sixteen years ago, in the back seat of a cab, I learned the strategy of re-focussing and the inner peace it brings. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a red car backed out of a parking space right in front of us.


My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the red car's back end by inches! The driver of the other car, whipped his head around and savagely abused us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.


I said, "Why did you just do that, he almost ruined your cab and sent us to the hospital!" And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck." "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage. As their garbage piles up, they become full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment and they need a place to dump it. If you let them, they'll dump it on you.


When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally; instead just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did." I started thinking, how often do I act like a garbage truck?


And how often do I take other people's garbage and spread it; at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore." Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.


Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Never let that garbage truck run over you or pick you up along its route._________________

Uncle on scooter

This morning, i was travelling to work. I met this uncle on his scooter, infront of me.

Upon seeing me in his rear mirror, he speed up. I had no intention to speed with him, just that I'm maintaining my usual speed, and i'm slowly ovetaking him.

He was travelling somewhere behind 2 vehicles, which i'm now infront of him on his right hand side, but i do not wish to just cut infront of him as he is in my left back corner, as i afraid may cause him to jam brake, so i waited, hoping he slow down abit, so i can do it safely.

When the car on his left front clear up, he speed up and and overtake me, while i'm stuck behind this car.

He was speeding all the way toward this traffic light (with right turn arrow on), so i speed up too, hoping to pass that traffic light. (both of us are turning right)

ok, now, i saw he brake very early and slow down alot, before taking the right bend, i was just taking my own pace, brake, drop a couples of gears, and take it with normal speed and angle. After this traffic light, there is another traffic junction which we are turning left, and this uncle really slow down so much that, only when i came up straight after the left turn junction, i only manage to see him completing the bend.

After that, i just maintain my own pace, which he is "suppose" to be faster than me on the straight? I wonder, what he is trying to proof???

He is just slowly disppearing from my side mirror...

EQ level of this boss

Just found out a inside news of this Chinese business boss EQ level…

One of the staff have resign and left the coy last Friday, and when she is serving her notice period, which is 2 weeks. The boss actually ask her into his office.

The conversation between them, B = boss , S = staff

B: “when is your last day?”

S: “2 weeks later”

B: “I have a suggestion, you do not need to serve the notice period, you can don’t come in from tomorrow onward” (so that the boss can save some $$"salary" from this notice period)

S: “boss, but the other staff may misunderstood that I was being fired, if I just leave so sudden”

B: “hmm, since you need the salary (money) so badly, you can stay till your notice period is over”

S: “boss, I think is ok, my last day will be on this Friday then”


From start till end of conversation, the boss didn’t even mentioned any thing like if she would want to consider staying back with the coy. No wonder, the staff turn over rate in this coy is very high.

Good boss story

I’ve been working for this guy for ten year’s now And we’ve been thru allot as far as his business goesThere was allot of fighting, yelling, mutual almost heart attacks giving and allot of good times as wellWe accomplish allot together; me thru hard work, he thru hard work and using his big noggin I would like to think I was instrumental in his success and I know he was absolutely vital in fixing my financial situation and digging me out of a financial hole


His a really cool dude and my only regret is that as the business gets bigger I get less time of acutely working with the guy, he’s just a funny guy and a hard worker two thing I don’t witness allot with my fellow employeesSo yesterday mike, my boss calls me and say; hey muddy, I’ve got some sod that I’m gonna need some help getting off the truck in my house, do you mind coming here on Sunday to help me?


It’s only gonna take half an hour, an hour at the most, would you mind?Well I didn’t mind even thou we had my wife’s college friend came to visit us (the fact that the guy, knowing that I’ve been bike less for thirteen years now, still didn’t bring his SV650 [that I’ve recommended to him…] helped a little) it was no skin of my back plus I told him; hey I want some of that sod too and he was like; sure, I’ll split it with you


So cool, I take the wife’s CRV, put some plastic on the back so to not dirty her car and I take offI go to his house and him, his future wife and the office manger (hoes living next to the sod company and been known to get sod for a case of beer) are all sitting on his deck and small talkingI sit down and converse for few minutes and then he asks the office mngr. if she called the sod company, she says yes; they’ll be here in five to ten minutes


So he says hey muddy; help me move this statue that my soon to be future have bought, I look off the deck and In the middle of his yard there’s a big thing cover in tarp So as we go down to the yard I think to my self; good lord this looks big and heavy, what did I get my self into? But that’s ok, I really don’t mind helping my boss, he’s been generous to me thru the years so what ever needs to be done will be done


On the grass mike kinda veer to the right (away from the statue) and tells me; take the tarp off so we can grab this thing and move itSo I did…First thing I’ve notice as I pull off the tarp is the letter “H” on what seemed to be engine casing and I think to my self; what the hell?


His statue is a Honda lawnmower???As the tarp goes up and more gets revealed my mind goes blank and I get tunnel vision…


It was definitely not a Honda…...The “lawnmower” part was close, but no cigar


It was what I’ve been dreaming off now for a long time right down to the color that I wanted It’s a 08 supermotard motorcycle!And it’s my BONUS for the year!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT”S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!!!Oh yeah, there’s a moral to this story here somewere…...But I’m just way too excited to think about what it is right now


well, You know the old story, "take good care of your employees and they'll take care of the business"

Another joke

A 17 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she
has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit.

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "who was
the pig that did this to you? I want to know!"

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.
Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of
their house.
A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and
impeccably dressed in an
Armani suit steps out of the of the Ferrari and
enters the house.

He sits in the living room with the father, mother,
and the girl and tells them:

"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge. I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life.
“Additionally, if a girl is born, I will bequeath a
Ferrari, a beach house, 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beachfront villa, and a $2,000,000 bank account.”

“If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of
factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.”
“However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"

At this point, the father, who had remained silent,places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her
again."

Check this out!! :)

Dave came home from the pub late one Friday evening stinking drunk, as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep. He gave her a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.

When he awoke, he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed. 'Who the hell are you?', demanded Dave, 'and what are you doing in my bedroom ? 'The mysterious man answered, 'This isn't your bedroom and I'm St Peter.'

Dave was stunned. 'You mean I'm dead !!! That can't be, I have so much to live for - and I haven't said goodbye to my family... You've got to send me back straight away.

'St Peter replied, 'Yes, you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can only send you back as a dog or a hen.' Dave was devastated, but knowing there was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen.

A flash of light later, he was covered in feathers and clucking around, pecking the ground.'This ain't so bad', he thought until he felt this strange feeling welling up inside him.

The farmyard rooster strolled over and said, 'So you're the new hen .How are you enjoying your first day here ? ''It's not so bad', replies Dave, 'but I have this strange feeling inside like I'm about to explode. ''You're ovulating', explained the rooster.

'Don't tell me you've never laid an egg before. ''Never', replies Dave. 'Well just relax and let it happen'. And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out from under his tail.

An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness was over whelming and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever happened to him . . . Ever!!!

The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg, he felt an enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting...

'Dave, wake up, you drunken bastard. You've shit the bed!!'

The Lie Detector

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases.


It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector. It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.


"Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" asked John. "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said Tommy. The robot then walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.


"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie." said Tommy. "What did you watch?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.


The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen." "I am ashamed of you son," said John.


"When I was your age, I never lied to my parents." The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair. Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said,


"Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!" With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair. Not the best... but...

Please work safely

Yesterday in the afternoon, received a call from my colleague asking me to help. After listening to the urgent phonecall, I realize a technician has fell off from 2nd storey while doing work.

I got the mobile number from the other technician, immediately I called him up to find out more about the injured tech. Ok, I got the address and I called the ambulance immediately.

Rush down from my workplace and when I reached, the ambulance is already there attending to the tech. Seem like his wrist is fractured and still conscious, try talking to him and he can response to me, good.

For so many years in my work, this is the most serious injury I encounter and the first time I called the ambulance. I had always emphasized safety to my guys, no compromise on this aspect. Not that I don’t want to be responsible or I hate to write report, but they still need to think of their closest family member when they are doing dangerous work, just like myself, I have to be responsible for my family and be safe during the course of work, because end of the day, it will be their family member who suffer.

I’m glad I make the decision to call the ambulance without any delay, he could be in danger, and his partner was also in a daze when I called him.

I'm the 11111 visitors

0011111 visitor is me!!!

A brand new world for me.

Am going to embark on a totally new different route soon, feeling abit lost and getting a little excited, don’t really know what to expect.

However, I have my planning already and at least I have a direction ahead to follow. It is a little risky but I feel this could be the only chance in my lifetime to do it.

Many a time, I heard great plan and suggestion, but only end up with NATO situation (*No Action, Talk Only) but this time, I’m walking the talk, and my wife is pretty supportive of it. Life will never be the same again!

Wish me lucks!!!

Bike vs Skill

I see a lot of people these days sinking loads of money into there bikes in attempts to make themselves faster. Rider skill can not be overcome by adding power or other aftermarket accessories to your bike.


If you want to be faster than you must increase your skill level. Unless of course you drag race and then more power will help you. I don't know how many times I have seen guys with tricked out bikes. Triple clamps, bars, cluch kits etc saying that they had to do it just so they could turn or ride the thing. Then we go for a ride and they get left.


I have seen guys on old xr350s smoke guys on new yz wr 400s 450s. In the woods of course. Not drag racing. One good example was in dirt bike a while back. The article was callled How low does the Pro have to go for the average Joe. It put Ryan Hughes against an average joe.


First match up RMZ 450 and RMZ 450. Ryan hughes smoked him. Next match up RM 125 to RMZ 450. Again ryan hughes won on the 125. Then Ryan on an 85 and average joe on 450 still and ryan won. Ryan beat the guy on a drz 125 and the average joe was on a 450 still. Skill is more important than the bike.


Most people out there can't ride what they got to the full potential anyway. Anyone else agree or disagree.

Sat & Sun

SATURDAY

Had a tiring but fulfilled weekend. Finally change new rim and tyres for the car, as my wife tear the front left wheel on last Thursday when driving after work. Called me when she was stuck in jurong area, and I need to rush down to save her.

After changing to spare tyres, we went straight to a tyres shop in AMK industrial park, after choosing the rim and tyres, it was swop out almost immediately, the mechanic was well trained.

I bring the car to a alignment shop on Saturday afternoon to do some setting, install the camber kit to have slight camber to help in corner handling. It took the boss almost 2 hours to did it as one of the nut was seized, but luckily, it was removed. Alright, now the car issue settle. Went home about 4pm and had a nap.

Dinner time, brough the kids out for dinner at Maxwell market, we had the famous chicken rice and the self serviced “hum jin peng”, the fried stuff are now selling at 6pcs for $1, when I bought it more than 20years ago, it was 10cent for a piece.

It is night, we went to Singapore flyer, as agreed to bring my kids there to take a look. However, we end up buying tickets to take a ride, since we are there. There is this promotional offer till 19 May. 1 adult ticket allow 1 kid (between 3 to 12) free entry, so might as well, as I thought, we may not come here again in near future.

After the long queue, about 30mins, we managed to board the cabin. The ride is about 30mins and the scenery was beautiful. Too bad I only had my lousy handphone camera and the pic taken was not sharp and clear. Will try to upload the pic when I’m free later.

SUNDAY

Morning, brough my daughter to see daughter as we hear her coughing constantly at night, but nothing serious. Went to my parent house later with the kids and we stay there, to feed and bath them.

Afternoon, went to wash the car as it is really dirty and stained. And it was a quick wash anyway, didn’t want to waste too much time washing it.

Evening, bring the kids and my parent to pasir ris park to take a walk. Realize that now, the park is flooding with a lot more playgrounds and activities. Both my kids are really enjoying themselves and they really sweat their clothing. It is really a good place for them to expend their energy.

Even my dad also enjoy playing with some of the “playground”, it was kind of fun.

By night, we went to whitesands for dinner, due to mother’s day, almost all restaurant are long queue, so we went to foodcourt instead, as it is not so crowded.

By the time we reached home, both the kids was almost dropping dead, so we clean them up and feed them before bringing them to sleep. It was a fulfill and enjoyable weekend.

A New Male CSO

Our office came onboard a new male customer officer, which I guess is from M’sia. He wears a spec, abit plump and the speak in Msian style of mandarin.

He is good I must say, and he is a very hardworking man, though young, should be in the early 20s. can hear him keep talking to customers non-stop.

It is a pity I would say, why? With his age and work enthusiasm, he should be working in somewhere that can train him up better for his future, rather than wasting his time here, arranging schedules for customers.

This is basically a simple co-ordination work that many retiree can handle after working for a few days. If he can just put in some thoughts for his future, he will know how to go about doing it.

Even today, overheard he is asking someone to help him to buy his lunch, at about 3pm+. He is very hardworking indeed.

My jobscope as a Manager

Alright, I'm a manager here, in this coy.

But, I'm doing co-ordinations work + data entry job...


Errr, what do ya reckon? Easy life? Relax? Boring?

I can only say it is wasting my time doing all this micro-management thingy...
my brain will be retard in time to come if I stay here for too long..

arghh...

Office Politic

Once again, office politic pops up. And this time, I’m the victim…

Simple background, due to recent demand for services because of hot weather, the customers service center are unable to cope with all the customers calling in, scheduling of technicians work, as almost all of them, schedule is already full for each day.

Now, that supervisor of the call center, want my department to help in scheduling the work, by sending a email over to me, cc to the boss. Ok, I checked with the relative of the boss who is also in my department, about this matter. He mentioned that there was no such problems last time, only now, perhaps those new customer services officers are new (due to a huge turn over of staff) and unfamiliar. And he also mentioned, this is their department problems, not us.

So I just reply to that supervisor, about what my colleague told me, and the whole day, no reply at all.

When coming to close of the day, the boss called me to his office, together with this supervisor, and in front of the boss, she was pushing all this problems to me. As I was new in the coy, I didn’t really retaliate, just mentioned I will try to help, although this is your department problems. But the boss also only listen to one side and this supervisor work here for more than 10 years already. What can I do?

I just feel like an idiot, and I’m gonna work just like another coordinator but not as a manager. And as my colleague is related to the boss, thus this supervisor don’t dare to do this to him…

Sunday -> monday..

It’s Monday, back to work again. I’m happy.

But it’s not because of work happy, it is because I get to ride again yesterday.

Yesterday ride with two of my mates was a much satisfactory session as I guess I’m getting my form back, though no 100%, but am able to charge hard and fast, for slightly longer period.

My mate Mike, during the mini race, I can see improvement in him, when I was chasing behind him, he is pretty quick right now, he just need to show a bit more aggression to his competition.

My old sparring partner Ray, took my bike for another min race, he was second in tow after first corner and within the first lap, he got into first position. As he also stay away from riding for sometimes already, he is also rusty as I do, need to ride more to get back that form. Nevertheless, it is a nice riding day for us, though the weather is blazing hot.

Ultimately, I still need to thank my wife for taking care of the kids, so that I can go riding. And this morning, my body is not as aching like the first round two weeks ago.

Some thoughts and plans

After a mate who called me for lobang opportunity a few days ago, I was pretty excited about it, but everything is not concrete yet, however, hope it will come true.



Have been asking and checking online, why my boy was behaving so badly and lack of discipline, even though you give him warning, he don't seem to bother about what you are saying. The conclusion we reckon is maybe because of his little sister, he just want to gain attention from us. That's why he is behaving in such a manner.



This brings me to next step, if this lobang comes true, I will have flexiblilty to control and manage my own time, so I could send my boy to school daily and fetch him whenever I can. This will definitely helps if both me and my boy spend more time together.

He is now barely 4 year old and he sure know who he can go to whenever we punish him, he will just cry and run to the "proection zone" for cover. Kid now are really smart, but then I gotta let them know the right and wrong. As for now, they can make mistake and we can correct them, but if they make mistake when they grow up, it's up to them to learn a mistake in a hard way.

Increasing lunch cost

Went to AMK for lunch, go to my favourite coffee shop, wanted to eat the Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup).

When I reached there, to my surprise, I saw a increase in pricing, from $3.50 up to $4.50! A total of one dollar increment! After contemplating, I still order it as it taste good (and I'm already there)

But come to think of it, if they increase by 50cents, I guess it is still acceptable, at least to me, but one dollar is kind of too much.

Guess I will go to other place for good Bak Kut Teh in future. Sigh....

Piss off

My boy have been on my nerve recently, and today, after parking at the carpark, i lost my temper at him. He always like to bite, or put any stuff into his mouth.

Have been telling him to do doing that as it is not hygenie, with recent outbreak of HFMD, I shouted at him just now, warn him the last time again, not to bite on that bottle of mineral water bottle again.

He still bite on the bottle happily, totally don't even bother about my warning to him, I snatch away the bottle, and smashed it on the ground. He start to cry, and behave like a spoilt brat. Then I told him, you are in the wrong and you still behave as though you are innocent?

And during the way home, he keep crying and want to look for his grandmother, why?

Anyway, deep in my mind, I had already wanted to have our own home. Why? It is because my in-law have been spoiling him, since he was a baby. Sometimes, when I want to punish him when he did wrong, they would protect him. Now he is totally out of control..

I have told my wife about it, to get our own home, so that whenever we reach home, he would not have a chance to run to his grandparent and cry like a baby. And when he did wrong, you will have problem to ask him to apologies, and he still insist he did no wrong.

I guess from now on, I will be super strict on him, ultimately, he is my son, it is my responsibility to show him the right of way in life. He may hate me, but what i do, will be for his own good in future.

Since young, i was the only kid at home to receive the most caning, from my parents and grandma, i was mad at them. Out of 3 childrens at home, why was I the one who got the most punishment? As I grew up, I start to understand them, and I'm glad that they punish me when I did wrong, and I would always thanks them deeply, in my heart, although all this years, I have never told them about my thoughts.

Same to me now, if I don't teach my son the correct stuff, he will blame me in future, why I never teach him hard enough to learn? I do not wish to see him go onto the wrong path. Please help me to show him the right way.
