Kids are still kids

Wanting to pause a minite for Ozen - AT's fish, who rest in peace at 630pm on boxing day, 2004.

AT was wailing and howling for the dead fish, and the father had to finish the final work for him.
In order to sooth AT, the father turned on the TV and happened that AT's favourite cartoon was on.
So the wailing subsided but tears still rolling in the eyes.
Being sentimental, the father ask AT whether wanting to seek a place to bury Ozen.
With tears in the eye, AT said: " No... No... ... I want to watch this cartoon"

Huh!!!!

Yes, I am "1"

Accountants vs Enginners

This is what I read from newspaper :-)

3 accountants and 3 engineers were sent to attend a conference. They have decided to go there by train. At the train station, the accountants noticed the 3 engineers just bought one ticket for three, they were puzzled.

When the train conductor came for tickets, the 3 engineers quickly hid in the toilet. When the conductor knocked the toilet door to see anyone in, they just slide out the ticket from the door, so that the conductor wouldn’t notice in fact there were 3 of them. Brilliant and they got their way.

3 accountants decided to follow the engineers’ trick when they headed back to their office. So they too bought a ticket for 3 of them this time. However, they noticed the engineers bought no ticket this time !!! They were puzzled!!!

So, when the conductor came, they all hid inside different toilets. A while, one of the engineers came out and walked towards the toilet where the accountants hid, knocked the door and say: “Anyone in??? ticket, please”….


My opinion, the roles in the story should switch in real life :-)

Bad guy !! Am I ?

Another eventfull week for me..

I was babysitting a team of 4 students to participate in this Case Study Challenge organised by one of the universities in KL. Because of the vain event, I hardly have time for them to feedback what they have learnt and analysed for the case study given. So on that submission day itself, we literally sat togather early in the morning, to put forward their ideas on paper. We really only were able to complete the writen case analysis and solutions to the problems indentified exactly on the dot of 3 o'clock, the exact time for submission - phew.. thank God for fax machine (They don't accept email attachment- lah... you think I am so outdated!!!)

Another team headed by my collegue was more effective than us.. I have to be blamed, due to my busy schedule at work. :-( As the result, I have not much confidence for my team.

A week later, we received the result and guess what, my team has entered to final!!! So another hard work, again I have no time for coaching and mentoring, but gave my precious minimum feedback to their work. Friday was the battle day between my members and I, that I literally locked my team members in the room, forced them to finish their taskd or they have to spend a night in the room, because the next day is the final competition for the price.

Guess what !!!!! We won !!!! I am so proud of my members and their effort. I know I have been serious and harsh to them at time in the process. I know whatever projects that come to my hand, the team has to suffer under my leadership style. I am not claiming I am a good leader, but at least I know I want to make sure everything is in order.. with my stern face, hehehe...

Later they related to me they APPRECIATE my POSITIVE criticism, even my collegue (sorrylah, I know sometimes I am very straight-forward). Strange, why everyone see that I am the disciplinarian, is that such leadership skill????

And what more, my boss wanted me to head more projects in future... oh please I am a engineer-breed. Agree? Mrand Mrs Alien :-)

Woman, thy name is .....

It has been an eventful months for us. I just had my company anniversary dinner over, which took me about 2 months course for the "vain thing", now it is my dear's turn to have her company annual dinner, plus a friend's wedding to attend, plus christmas celebration.

So dear was flipping herself here and there in front of the mirror , changing one dress to the other, and kept complaining about the extra flesh she has. As she kept complaining about that, I know for sure this is the good chance to reinforce what I have been telling her ..."Yalah, I told you many times, right? See see if you are !!!, the dress will look so nice on you , right or not??? " so she said she needs to have a diet watch now.. (let see whether she will success?? no mamak! No supper! No Hokkien Mee ! No chocolate! Neh I don't think so she can live like that!)

Man, you got to know the right opportunity to hit on the spot when you want your dear to do something, and she must point it out herself...

So, you learn a lesson??? :-)
