Succumbing to the drone.

Wednesday was 'out-of-office' day. Still can't get used to the long lines of salutations we have to endure everytime we're at a Malaysian official function. And the food at GLC meetings. There's the morning tea, and then the mid-meeting karipap, or Nasi Lemak if you're lucky, and then there's the lunch, inclusive of after-lunch kuih. It's anti-productivity, I tell you, but I can't complain about the food quality, except maybe the amount of condensed milk they put into the teh should be reduced by about 50%.

Mental note to self: To ban mid-meeting makan sessions at my own company, if I ever get to own one.

Other observation of blog readers: some people have a problem reading my blog when it starts to sound diary-like. Probably 'some' = ONE, probably I-know-who-you-are. Obviously I annoy you yet you keep coming in, and why the heck does my blog's readability have the ability to affect you? Hello?

Other observation of Asiaworks graduates: some, well, a good 60% ARE FREAKING WEIRD. Come on, it's just another motivational seminar that employs typical techniques. Don't take it upon yourselves to change another person's life… and well, getting impact from a seminar and attributing all positive change in your life due to a training programme (whether it's a one-parter or a three-parter) doesn't make you amazing. It just makes you a follower.

Elsewhere, off the Net:

You're not gonna do a thing cause you're all morons. Waiting for the people of Malaysia to do something - anything, having faith in the people of Malaysia, is like fucking a tree hole filled with bees: It hurts like hell but you don't stop, hoping for a time when it's going to be good. ~The Malay Male

In my opinion, the worst humans can do is interpret our own pursuit of meanings as fundamentally different and incompatible from the pursuits of others – because our pursuits aren’t that different… and because labeling them as different only isolates ourselves and others, and stirs up animosities.~Avanoo

How I wish I was the one who came up with those paragraphs.
