Stupidest Meeting.

Today, I wasted half my morning, being forced to attend a stupid manufacturing meeting (luckily is just one time deal, phewww!).

Anyway, I have no words to describe what I see in the meeting than just simply STUPID.

There are ~25 people in the meeting. >90% of them are high level VVIP people such as supervisors, managers, senior managers & group leaders.

When the agenda starts... the first important discussion is, last night the printer in manufacturing floor jammed and cannot print out the paper for the lots.

What???!!!! Did I listen correctly?? Printer jam issue for top management discussion??!!!!

And 'printer jam' issue needs to be filed as a red hot issue, and need to discuss what is the poka-yoke way of fixing the problem long term.. so that we no longer have printer jam issue next time..
-__-"'

The manager also presents that they found out that the printer jammed because they found that there is a tiny bit of sticker sticked on the laser inside the printer which is the root cause. And he asked "So, now we have to think next time how to prevent any sticker to stick inside the printer laser. Anyone?"

And I see many managers trying to make themselves look brilliant by offering tonnes of suggestions and opinions how to prevent any stickers to go into the printer and make it jam.....

The whole meeting looks like a bunch of idiots circling the printer trying to fix the printer jam...

I think he is right this time....

This super duper dumb topic can actually discussed through for over 20mins...what more can I say??

I realized one thing... the so-called very big company I work for, I**** is truly a damn filthy rich company despite the economy downturn, where most companies out there are struggling to survive and laying off employees...I**** has been paying high salaries to over 20 managerial top management personnels to fix a manufacturing printer jam issue in a meeting.

To all VVIP managers: Plsssssss don't call a meeting if you just wanna talk about nonsences or just to fill up your free time during work hours!!!

Lazy Monday..

Sucha tired Monday for me... I don't like Monday -__-

I suppose it is a blue Monday..


Very tired....trying to keep my eyes open laa~~

Aiyah... still very tired... let me sleep for 5mins yah..... set alarm clock for 5 mins.. hehe...

ZZzzzzzzz.....

So cozy.........let me sleep awhile again......

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

Malaysia unique Engelishhh...

As an employee....in a big company... International Worldwide giant company.... usually, we would have a lot of meetingsss... seriously, a lot....

But usually... 90% of the meetings are talking craps...and more craps...endless craps....

Today I am in a boring meeting with some so called top management people in the organization..so I sit there listening to all of them trying to gain visibility and to make themselves look very important...

Then suddenly I found them talking sounds very funny and tickles me a lot.. and the more I listen, the harder it is not to laugh....I was there trying so hard not to laugh....unbearable...

Speaker 1: blabla.....Our VP is frying here all the way from US...then later he fry to China..... blabla..

Speaker 2: We have so many products in hand, our action must be very rabbit, you know....blaaaaa..

Speaker 3: blaablaa..you know... we cannot afford any suplise now...

Speaker 1: oooohh... don't play play arr...we need to look plopelly before risk die arr..

Speaker 2: long! long!! cannot be like this! blaaa...

Ironically, all these VVIPs have been all previously stay in US for relocation (>6months) multiple times before, and almost everyday they are having conference with US sites......

But the outcome is this kinda quality standard.....

-___-"

Malaysia Memang Boleh!!!

For your reference:
fry = fly
rabbit = rapid
suplise = surprise
plopelly = properly
die = buy
long = wrong

My baby papaya trees

That day, we stopped at a Malay fruit stall beside the road, and bought a half papaya already cut and wrapped nicely. And we bargained the half papaya from RM3 to RM1..... heheheeheheeeee...

As I am cutting up the papaya into small pieces, I realize the seeds are really a lot....and suddenly an idea popped out, why not we try to plant the seeds in the backyard and see if it will grow?? =)

So I kept all the seeds..

We cleaned one small part of the backyard, threw away all the lallang and grass... then we spread all the seeds in rectangular area we cleaned up and digged up. Then we buried the seeds beneath, sprinkled some water...

After around 1 week time, we went back to the backyard to take a look....

WaLaaa!!!!!!! the seeds have grown into baby papaya leaves!!!!!! Wowww.... that's spectacular!!!! There are so many of them in small groups together...!!

My baby papaya leaves look so cuteeee....

See??? there are so many of them!!!

Woww..... I am so happy that my papaya seeds are actually growing.... so exciting..=)

Every evening I will go to my backyard and take a look, sprinkle some water and clean up the place... I can see that they are growing up rapidly!!!!

Now I can imagine when my papaya trees grow up, then I will have many papaya trees in my backyard and I will have a lot of free papaya to eat!!! Hahahahaaa...

Look at my future papaya tree......

Anyone wants home grown papaya???? =)

Do you still have your 'bantal busuk'?

I think most of us, we have our very own 'bantal busuk' accompanying us during our sweet childhood times....rite? =)

Btw, bantal busuk is also well known as smelly bolster....and I still have my bantal busuk!!!!!!! kekekeee....

Ahemm......!! 15 years old bantal busuk... respect..respect...

As we grow up, usually our mum will try to divert our focus and throw away the 'bantal busuk' or curi-curi take our 'bantal busuk' and try to clean it and put under the sun (according to mum, so that can kill the bacteria and dirt worrr).....maybe you do not agree, but at least I experienced that.. ;p

mmm~~~mmmmm~~~smell so nice.... mmmm...smell again see see..~~~

And, a lot of us reaching adult age, no more having our 'bantal busuk'...but still we have quite alot of them still preserving their 'bantal busuk'.... mostly already having dark brownish spots and circles...fading of its original color that you don't even remember what is the original cover looks like...

This is the typical look of a 'bantal busuk', should be around 10 years old??

How old is your bantal busuk already?? =)

yumm..yumm...I lovvrppp my smelly bolster...*hug huggg*..~~~~


hikkk~ hikkk~ hikkk~....I have 2 bantal busuk!!!!

So, how do you preserve your bantal busuk? When I stay at home last time, I always afraid that my mum will sneak into my room and take my smelly bolster to wash it clean as she always complaint how dirty it is...heheheeee...

At last I convinced my mum do not wash it... and negotiate with her to add a clean cover on top so that I can maintain it's originality...hahahaa....*pandai..pandai..*

So until today, I think I already have more than 5 different covers added up on my bantal busuk.. (I actually have lost count exactly how many cover there is... -__-)

Ohhhh...smell so nice...like Bvlgari perfume lerr... you wanna try?? Is already 4 years old ooo~~~...

wahahahaa... the cat also got smelly bolster arrr~~~ *hug* & sweet dreams...

Why bantal busuk is so important to most people?

According to the experts, bantal busuk brings us the sense of security.. when we are with our smelly bolster, we feel safe and sound.

When we hug our bantal busuk when we go to bed, we can sleep better..

If we hug and smell our bantal busuk... we will have very sweet dreams... hahahahaaaaa.....

XiaoBai also has his own smelly bolster..... kekekeeee...

Taa Daaa......!!! See...XiaoBai so proud of his bantal busuk =)

Even if we go travel or overnight at other places... we must bring the smelly bolster together or we will miss our smelly bolster until cannot sleep! ~~~

~~sniff!! sniff!! nyaammm....nyammm.... sedapp nyerrr.... my bantal busuk..

Again..Sniff harder....hhmmmm..nyammm....wangiii sungguh laa.... luvrrppp it~~~

Nutshell, bantal busuk is a very personal and very sentimental thingy for those who savour it, of course, including myself =)

That's why I write this blog about bantal busuk, specially dedicated to my smelly bolster...heheheheheeeee ...

Happy Bantal Busuk Day!!!! :)

靈魂跟不上我们了。。。‏lost soul...

在某处，我读了这篇文章。。。非常有意思叻，与每位还在忙碌的朋友们分享， 停一下你的脚步，想一下你真正要的是什么。。




有一支西方的考察隊深入非洲腹地考察， 請了當地部落的土著人做背伕和嚮導。

由於時間緊，需趕路， 而這些土著人很吃苦耐勞，背著幾十公斤的裝備物資依然健步如飛， 一連三天考察隊都很順利地按計劃行進，大家都很開心。

可是第四天早上，考察隊準備出發的時候， 土著人們都在休息不走了，好說歹說就是不願出發。

就休息一下嘛~~~~

隊員們很奇怪了，這幾天大家相處得很好啊， 是不小心觸犯了他們還是要坐地加錢？

這時，土著人的頭領解釋道， 按照他們的傳統，如果連續三天趕路，第四天必須停下來休息一天， 以免我們的靈魂趕不上我們的腳步。

這個現代人也許看來很難理解的解釋，讓我很受觸動。

我們的生活太忙碌了，工作和生活的壓力讓我們日復一日地在趕路，还是赶路。。 以至於我們很少停下來思考一下，就不斷地被很多東西推著走， 或者追逐著眼前的東西而去。。。

广东话讲得很好--〉嚄屎都呒打邯 （大便都不得空）

而我們的靈魂呢。。却早已落後在我們匆匆趕路的身影後面，無影無蹤。

沒有了自己，我們的生活就交給了外物去控制。

我們是不是也该放緩腳步，等一等我們的靈魂？

If I quit my job now..

I am kinda exhausted working already.....always dreamt of temporarily taking off for a period to recharge and refresh myself.. I don't know how long I can continue working like this....

But with today's bad economy.. can I really do that? Or after I have no job... I would have to join them..... -__-

My Friendster

This is my Friendster.. I still update my Friendster irregularly.. I will try to do it better and update more regularly...

http://yawyong.blog.friendster.com/

Friendster is good to use but it is very slow...by the time the page is up, I have fallen asleep......that's why I have this new blog to brag about some stuffs..

Let's see how it goes...

Pig's feet..

Saw an interesting post today on Pig's feet....

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/3353631/Pigs-feet-the-new-superfood.html


Pig's feet is now said as the cheapest, latest and greatest anti-ageing superfood!! Woow.. never know that one day the pig's feet will be upgraded to be in the superfood list!





Pig's feet is only well known in Asia region, specifically in Chinese and Philippines delicacies...

Pig's feet are considered very disgusting to the western world..





Bluueerrrrkkkkkk.....it's the pig's feet!!!! Look at the fine wrinkles on her face... her face might look alot smoother if she finish up the pig's feet... heheee

And is a serious taboo to muslim world...say NO to pigs....

Now that it has been proven on its anti-ageing value, would the pig's feet fans population grows?

See the aunty so happily choosing her delicious looking Pig feet for dinner later...hmmm her face looks smooth too.. it must be becoz of the pig's feet collagen!! :)

Ohh..nyammmm...nyammm...looks just so tempting to try...pig feet with Siam rice....heavenly... =)

A world that is never fair..

After working for a so called big high tech company for more than 4 years, I feel purely disappointed & become more and more mentally inbalance when I actually see for myself so many unfairness happening around, and is only getting worse and worse .. no signs of getting better....

All the political stuff happening around is really making me uncomfortable.. * vomit *....

All the things we learn in school, all the values and moral, are just useless.

If you wanna be fired quick, just follow all the good morals you learn in school will do.

Our parents always say: Study hard, get good grades, go to University and you will have a bright future and earn a lot alot of money...

Study hard, have good grades... is that the true criteria to success??!

So..how to become a good employee with good prospect...this is what I have concluded..

1. When you are super good in talking.. using all the very sophisticated and advanced technical terms (which you yourself might not even understand what you are talking about), beat around the bushes, elaborate in very very 'understandable' explanation, talk long long... then your boss will think: Waaa... not bad arr this person... he knows so much, so technical... good good.. and the boss needs to nodd his head in agreement to show that he understands (although he actually don't understand a word.. he cannot show that he dunno a thing..) Since you are able to talk so much on so technical stuffs.. you must know a thing or two...so the boss will give you good propect.

2. When in all other presentations or discussions, you must have opinions and try your best to gain visibility although you are talking craps...fight for visibility!!! so that all people will know you exist in the organization. You must voice up and ask questions (must think of any questions.. dun care what kinda crap is that) as long as you ask questions.. you gain visibility.. bosses like that... he will think that: Waaa!! this employee got initiative to learn ler and dare to ask question somemore... good good.. always participate one...

3. When you know how to act and pretend you are very very super busy!! Every issue also need to wait for you to solve.. you are the super hero saving the world... you got thousands of meetings to attend (although you actually only have 1 meeting) you got so many phone calls, you have 100 emails to reply...all the people asking help from you... you are so hardworking you don't even have time for lunch...the company will go bankrupt without you.. Boss will like you so much, thinking that you are so diligent and you have solve so many issues (where you in fact do nothing at all)..

4. There are always 'good' employee that the boss luvp so much becoz they always back stab their peers and give internal information and rumors to their boss...they are the boss's antenna and the boss's 'buddy'.....and one day you come out from the 1 on 1 session looking like......... -__-"

So, beware of all the smiling knifes around you... or you can become one of them too!!

5. Also, there are a bunch of people that can only say "Yes, sir" to their boss. Whatever requests by the boss, professional or personal --> Yes, boss! or --> Me! me! I do.. I do... then the boss will be very proud and happy.... Whatever crap the boss is talking about --> Boss, you are so BRILLIANT!! We need to learn from you... or --> Boss, you so knowledgable!!! I support you... or --> Boss, your shirt today very nice arr...must be very expensive one...

Come!! Polish my shoes... make sure very 'kilat' one!!!!

Clean my ass, anyone?????? Me! meeeeeeee!!!!!!

Sad truth is that, these are the people that gets to climb up the ladder, earn big money, drive big car, live in big houses... and talks more crap...

For those employee that is truly hardworking, really solving problems, live their life with good values, but less visibility and never know how to polish shoes...they become isolated and never deserved a chance ........

Conflicting but very true...What has actually happen to our society become what it is today?

And what is the future I am looking into??

The world can never be fair...

Maybe I should learn to ignore and be more optimistic, like Crayon Shin Chan .. never give up, enjoy life as it is and do whatever you like to do...

Like...invite some frenz for happy hours.. drink some beer..

or relax on the beach on weekends....

Most of all, happy and be contented with your life, whatever it is, you are the owner of your life, and you craft your own life..be it colourful or grey, you decide...

Be like a baby again.........
