If you were to ask me

Under the Sun No Comments

whether I know who my brother, DC is getting married or not.

my answer 2 months back will be “yes”
and how I come to know it?

common friend of his told me. She was disappointed. And she asked if I knew about his being all this while? I told her that as a friend, I should not jump into the conclusion or tell anything bad about friends.

She moved on. I got busy with my own life that I couldn’t find time to be busybody about him… until last week

Schoolmate returned to KL from Singapore. He asked few of us (setapakian) out. We went to Teh Tarik @ Steven Corner Setapak. He told me that DC had informed him that he got married. I wasn’t surprised and asked if he knew who’s the lucky girl.

He told me that he is not sure of as the girl wasn’t the same girlfriend he had in Form 6. He further added that I can get to see their wedding picture in the Friendster. Hence, I just manage to go to the friendster to take a peek. Finally notice the name. Seems familiar.

PK. Now I know. Wonder if she changed her phone number or not. Better not. Coz what if DC invited me to his wedding dinner? That’s good and bad altogether.

Exit Interview

Under the Sun No Comments

In my previous 2 employment, there are no such thing called exit interview. When you are leaving, they’ll say … “good! see you!” and out you go.

The current company that I am attached to have thing called exit interview. Hence, not knowing what the meaning of it as well as the objective of such procedure, I looked up upon both wikipedia and about.com for some answers.

Here’s what I have found:-

An exit interview is typically a meeting between at least one representative from a company’s human resources (HR) department and a departing employee. (The departing employee usually has voluntarily resigned vs. getting laid off or fired.) The HR rep might ask the employee questions while taking notes, ask the employee to complete a questionnaire, or both.

and from the wiki

An exit interview is an interview conducted by an employer of a departing employee. They are generally conducted by a relatively neutral party, such as a human resources staff member, so that the employee will be more inclined to be candid, as opposed to worrying about burning bridges. The purpose of an exit interview is usually to gather data for improving working conditions and retaining employees. Common questions asked in exit interviews are, “What are your primary reasons for leaving,” “What did you find most satisfying about your job,” “What did you find most frustrating about your job,” “Were there any company policies or procedures that made your work more difficult,” etc. Many career advisers recommend treating an exit interview like a hiring interview, in that criticism of the past employer should be limited to statements about the company as a whole, rather than specific individuals.

In my case, most companies should practice additional procedure and follow up activities like below:-

If it is not in recession, says who?

response?

It’s a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it’s a depression when you lose yours.
Harry S Truman, in Observer, April 13, 1958

It’s a recovery when someone loses his seat

and some random piece of advise from Harry Truman which applies today, currently as we at the verge of damnation.

Are we getting enough of confusion at the state of it?

If you cannot convince them, confuse them.
Harry S Truman

Yet another “character assassination to silence an effective leader of the political opposition”?

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
Harry S Truman, August 8, 1950

and that’s why we can’t handle the truth.

I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.
Harry S Truman, in Look, Apr. 3, 1956

Finally, it shall lead us to… a better tomorrow.

Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.
Harry S Truman, Lecture at Columbia University, 28 Apr. 1959

A’s story - Pilot

Under the Sun No Comments

Inspired by a friend’s true story… putting myself in his shoe; as a first person story.

Am I a loser or what for being single till today. I have been many years with her and I loved her so much. Then the time I lost her, it grieved me so deep. She left for a greener pasture in life. Being a career minded woman whom seeks for the society approval than love is something I need to be able to accept.

It has been 3 years since that day. Now looking back these years how I lived my life without her. It was something beyond what I could ever fathom about. In fact, for the first year after that I begin to skip dinner. For dinner was something special between me and her. That we would savor the moment together in our own cozy house. The little 3-bedroom apartment we bought together once we landed in our first job, after the college.

I was all wrong all the time. When I got her around, I took her for granted for that she will stick through the ups and downs with me. Despite my bad habit for gambling, she was acceptance of me. Yet, the little demon inside me grew and ended beyond my own control. I was an avid and addicted gambler. I put everything I had on the betting table every now and then. But I never put the food on the table since.
