26th April 2007 – Malaysia’s Rest Day

Under the Sun 6 Comments

KUALA LUMPUR: On the 26th April 2007, all the government sectors and most of the private sector will be going on a rest day. This is to commemorate the installation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

 

The official announcement was made by the government sectors 2 weeks earlier. However, only the private sectors mostly banking, financial insititutions and some service provider declared the coming Thursday as a rest day instead of public holiday. The reason is despite it is rest day, all the employees are required to return to work. The only different is that they don't need to treat any matters in any sense of urgency due to the nature of the day, which is the rest day.

 

Kidding! I'm just envy and jealous of that I don't get any rest day despite of the installation day of our King. Maybe I was being paid by the private sector. Probably. Sigh* Or I keep telling that my office doesn't have protrait of someone? 

 

As for my respect for my King, I want to wish him "Daulat Tuanku"

of carrot, egg and coffee bean

What they have in common? What would you choose over these 3 items above? Do you take yourself as carrot, egg or coffee bean?

 

In life, we will have to encounter any adversities. And these adversities are just like putting ourselves inside a boiling water. Imagine that what ever situation we are in, we can be like either carrot, egg or coffee bean. In fact, just take three pot of hot boiling water.

The first pot, we put carrot inside. Same goes to the egg and coffee beans. What happened next is that the carrot at first which was rock hard has become soft. After being boiled.

As for the egg, the egg still as hard as before being boiled. Look from outside, it does not have much changes. But in the inside, the egg has become hard. Just like a person's emotions, feelings and characters. The person might turned to be a totally different person just because of the adversities he or she is facing.

The coffee beans on the other hand has turned out to be something else. After being boiled, the coffee bean no longer exist. It has become the cofee with rich aroma and taste. It changes the color of the water. Be like coffee beans, which had overcome the hot boiling water and totally change the situation.

 

My message is that irregardless what situation we are in, we need to remain true to ourselves. Bring the best out of the people around you and change the situation that we are currently in. I also took this opportunity to remind myself that I need to be like coffee beans.

 

*the moral of the story is that since cofee bean is far more greater than other, when is the next round we go Coffee Bean instead of Starbuck?*

Weekend Update

Under the Sun 8 Comments

Weekend seems good. Hectic but appreciate the tight schedule. Especially on Saturday. It was Kenny Ng birthday and since Uncle Wingz have arranged a tok kok sing song session later in the evening, we had a multi conference discussion with the gang, namely Lockee ((other name for female locker)), LinPeh, Lisan and Penny ((penis if plural))

We was thinking of getting him something that reflect the true nature of bloggers. Hence, we came out with a brilliant idea. A t-shirt with some wordings. Sample of the wordings was like "my cheapsket blogger frens got me this sorhai t-shirt for my birday", with extra url. Wingz wanted to have "rojaks.blogspot.com" and "everydei read rojaks" so on. Not to forget other contributors' url for the t-shirt present as well. Since it was a last minute deal, have to confirm where and how much that gonna cost. So, we manage to get a blogger whom manage to do the wordings last minute. After checking with her, it's located at BB Plaza, highest floor facing Metrojaya.

Now, the main task was who will have to travel all the way downtown to get the matters done. This job was none-the-less yours truly. Since i'm the one that kior kar yo lam pah ((meaning that the person is damn free. direct translation will be lift the leg, and shake balls)), I went down to BB Plaza at 2pm. However, to my dismay the shop already closed. Maybe due to holiday or on leave or no longer in business. I saw there are a few numbers and tried to call but no avail. Not wanting to give up just yet, I've decided to explore every corner again of the BB plaza as well as Sg Wang Plaza. Around 4pm, I finally gave up and then go for the cake as a birthday present would do.

We sing song tok kok at Cheras Plaza's Neway. The evening session is the most blardy expensive. RM42++ per pax. Anyway, since it's Kenny birthday, no problem lah, money isn't an issue already coz' we got anchor sponsor. Hehe…  After the sing song performance from the SkyKeepYou and Kenny, we go for Starbucks for lim kopi session ((lim kopi – drink coffee)). Suddenly, SkyKeepYou suddenly come up with the idea of watching a movie. Wild Hogs was in the screenings. We go for that since it's just going to be on screen in the next 20 minutes time. Not bad for a comedy movie starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and more… since the beginning of the show, Wingz laugh like non-stop. Of course it was really funny. But the editing and censorship was worse. Yet, the movie ticket is just worth the money when you have bunch of bloggers watching it with you. It was priceless…. !!

So, we planning to have another session according to Wingz. So who want to go fast fast register. Limited laps available.
