This anecdote is an excerpt from the 1991 book In Search of Excess: The Overcompensation of American Executives by Graef Crystal (pgs. 83-84):

Some years ago, I found myself hitching a ride on the corporate jet of one of my clients. A board meeting had just been held, and the jet was flying to Chicago with a group of outside directors. I was busily reading the Wall Street Journal and trying not to eavesdrop on the conversations that were taking place, but I couldn’t help overhearing the following exchange.

Director 1 to Director 2: “Hey, Don, I just read in the paper that you retired as CEO of the XYZ Company. So what are you going to do to keep busy?”

Director 2: “Well, I’m going to be a consultant to my former company.”

Director 1 (with a trace of sarcasm): “What exactly does that mean?”

Director 2: “If you must know, I’m going to be a sexual consultant.”

Director 1: “A sexual consultant! What’s that?”

Director 2: “Well, when my former company signed me up as a consultant, they told me: ‘If we want any of your fucking advice, we’ll call you!’”

which reminds me that of another quote

Do you like sex and traveling?
If yes, FUCK OFF!!!

If today were confidence vote, all roads will be blocked except the route to the Parliament

Since yesterday were no-confidence vote day, all roads was congested due to the roadblock to Parliament.

*note: I was stuck on my way to Parliament around 2.50pm, even was raining but the dedication of the law enforcement to continue operate the roadblock impress me.

Yes! I manage to go to the exhibition yesterday. After all, all I have was time since I got another meeting in Puchong in the evening. So, I queued up for nearly 40 minutes before it was my turn.

Finally, I was been given the Cambodia’s version of the story. Narrated from the child’s view, it took me all the way back to Srey Mom younger time. From her birth to her teens, how she overcome struggles and being forced into prostitution.

The exhibit was impressively set up. Simple but good enough for one to see it from the children eyes. How they have endures this kind of life. Putting myself in their shoe, do you want your kids to go through that stages?

Location?

KL - DUMCwas the first to held it (until July 13 - Yesterday) and later Penang, Kuantan and Johor.

For those in KL, no worries. The exhibit will then be back to KL again. So, waste not these precious time and go to have a view of it.

Dennis Wholey says: “Waiting is an art… .If you can wait two years, you can achieve something you could not achieve today however hard you worked, however much money you threw at it, however many times you banged your head against the wall.” There are things you can’t have today that you’ll be able to have in the future. So it doesn’t make sense to drive yourself crazy and put your life on hold struggling to accomplish something now, that’ll be easy when the time is right.

Right now I believe that certain things to take place in my life is to teach us important principles. One of it shall be the ability to control my responses. Once I am done with it, I know I’ll eventually become stronger and wiser. And then I’ll have the maturity to handle what has in for you.

Maybe right now is not the time. Not yet.

Last night in the office doing nothing serious but then a partner called in.

His line was pretty bad that kinda jerk when I talked to him. Here’s our conversation (sort of)

Me: Mr. X, is there anything I can do for you?

Mr. X: Yes, I need a favor from you. Very urgent and important. It is Mr. Customer A whom…. this… that…

Me: Mr. X, I am losing you. The line isn’t clear. It’s got jitters

and the line got dropped by Maxis.

Next he returned call.

Me: Mr. X, what happened?

Mr. X: How do I know. I think it is your side that your place have no bar.

Me: No. I’ve checked that my signal here is good.

Mr. X: You lar no bar. I’m FUBAR.

Me: Huh? You FUBAR?

Mr. X: Yeah. I’m here FUBAR.

Me: Ok. Case close. You win

FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition)

I told Linpeh whether if I could meet up with him and ask him some questions. It was so serious that I wanted no one to be involved when I asked him those questions.

When I saw him the other day, the first question I asked was “Am I A Serious Kind of Person?” I looked to him very serious that he was practically speechless for few seconds.

The look at his face was priceless. He replied, “Fuck you lar. Faking the seriousness got lar”

I know why he said that. Because most of the time, my expression was “fucking stress. looked seriously” which is why at time people think I often acted cool. That because most of the time I seemed to be in deep thought whereas the moment was for me thinking pointless things.

Either way, I think I just got screwed big time.

In the few days ago I was using the u-mobile to get online @ Setapak. Initially the line was good. I was getting the good reception with high bandwidth throughput. It was like having the road for myself during the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, since Tuesday the line was down. I couldn’t get connected to the Internet despite that the signal strength was strong. Around 3-5 bars in between. I still couldn’t get connected. Here’s the snapshot of the U-mobile console.

Nope. I wasn’t being paid to blog about it. But here’s the comparison from my personal opinion.

1. The line was good until it went down. For days.

2. The customer service was very polite and nice. Drawbacks, they still sucks
Reasons:-
I went to U Mobile counter in Berjaya Times Square yesterday afternoon after having lunch with my customer. Ahmad was the one whom responded to my complaint pertaining the network issue. At first, he needs to check on the account status whether it is still alive and running or being barred due to the payment matters.

He informed that the account have no issue. So he need to check with the technical team. I demanded that I need to have at least an answer by that day itself Hence Ahmad called his superior to engage with me on that matter. They can’t tell much from what I provided so they told me that they needed 3-5 days before able to return on the call.
