It's been busy for the passed ermmm.... 8 months since my restaurant had opened.
Business is so so,
Customers(majority) are so so,
So the income for these few months also so so..
The only thing that is not so so and capture my attention is our beloved government money scandal. They are doing good good in cheating, lying, robbing and denying.
Perhaps the country we lived in is also a so so country to other countries.
Very the sad..haih...

Funny lar
I just came across this when went shopping at TESCO Penang.
Either our intellectual level evel is low or our general knowledge is lacking in some area or just trying to be funny. I don't know, really!
So even "these" boxes are written to have different "flavours" but shouldn't it be put at somewhere more appropriate?

A Monopoly business
I remember playing the Monopoly game when I was younger.
Now, Telekom, Satelite TV, Broadbands and Cars(by taxing more than 100% for imported cars) are using the same method to do business in Malaysia.
Anyone dares to say no to these services? Actually these service providers don't even care about their customers satisfaction or their product quality, as their business are all well protected, and there is no competition at all.
1)Telephone services- Telekom- the rest are small and some taking lease line from Telekom as well
2)Satelite TV- ASTRO- which the programmes are repeating over and pver again, and only now implementing HD which other country are already airing 3D a year ago. Tivo box? When I was studying in UK 10 years ago, they were already using it. We are just starting it now, as if its a new technology- Shame on you ASTRO!
3)Broadbands- Also Telekom(TMNET)- the rest of the service providers(Maxis, Digi-except Celcom are part of Telekom as well) are not really genuinely providing a proper amount of broadband services
4)Cars- Proton(an overprice locally made cars, even more expensive compare to the xport version with full safety features)
I was just thinking, how are we suppose to be a nation of having a freedom of speech if the basic mass comunication is monopolised and being controlled?
Just a simple thought of the day!

Taichi Masters
After working for so many years in different companies starting from a small position to a management level.
I came to realised that one of the Chinese martial art had been "发扬光大"-"Popularised" throughout Malaysian culture. Which is:
I am damn proud about it, cos not only this form of martial art should be perform in a balance manner ("YIN" and "YANG") mentally and physically, but it had also being implemented in all work place nowadays. Of course not to missed out, our politicians.
Kudos to those who practiced this "martial art" in your daily working life.

When everything is politicalised-Why?
Nowadays, everything in the newspaper headline are those propaganda made by those politicians.
Everyone is pointing fingers to each other, flaming each other endlessly.
How come our media becomes a tool of free "advertisements" for these people. Whereas, we have to pay thousand for RM just to have a half page of advertisements. And furtehrmore, most of the media nowadays had been controlled by some "dark forces" behind them which had somehow providing false accusation and bias reports.
It seems like our Malaysian politicians are becoming like little kids, arguing to each other and not wanting to "befriend" to one another. Why not just talk with facts and figures instead of just pointing fingers with denial and at the end of the day there is no outcome and problems are not solved.
Who actually suffers? Well, we(aka the Rakyat) are the ones suffering.
Why?
We are not really protected by any labour law, when it comes to employment,
1)no minimum wages standards,
2)no policies to restrict the companies to abuse their own workforce( you know like endless working hours with no extra pay). How many of you guys need to work more than 12 hours a day?
3)With all sorts of contract basis job offered by those MNC giants with no sense of job security. (They can retrench their workforce in thousands when they need to)- So, where is the sense of belongingness for the Rakyat? The politician will say that they had successfully bring in billions of Dollars of investment to the state or country from these GIANTS, but how about the after effects for those contract workers?
Endless inflation
1) Petrol price keeps hiking up(even though our politician had reassure us that there won;t be any price increment within a year)
2) Just realised that all the essential stuffs for daily consumption- (example:Food, drink, cooking oil)all prices had increased tremendously.
3) Prices of houses and cars is a joke
4) GST also increased? (What a joke as well)
Well, for these politician to do a better job, they should just focus on these two aspect first before trying to do something bigger. Like sending the useless "ANGKASAWAN" to the space with no contribution or building all sorts of rubbish buildings by spending billions of RM ( I think it is just like when our government project goes for a tender, the amount of money placed in a tender is just for show, the actual fact is, how much of the percentage is going to each individuals pockets, thats another story.
Really sometimes think that if Batman do exists...hahaha

I don't know symptoms
Seems like everyday we encounter the word "I don't know" from every related or non related individual in our lives.
I think it's been one of our daily motto(for alot of people)
For example:
1)
Me: "How long will take the "PR" to be approve?"(for my wife)
A "very helpful" immigration officer: "I don't know, Agak lama pun" -So which is which? took very long time? or don't know at all?
2)
Me: "When can I receive the actual items ?(for my customers)"
My warehouse staff(in HQ): "I don't know, when the item arrived from Hong Kong lo"
3)
Me: "What's the status of your XXX customers requirement?"
My Sales Staff: "I don't know, maybe (this reason) and maybe (that reason)"-uncertainty or not doing their job.
4)
Me: "May I know when will your management finalised the deal? Maybe I can prepare the items you need in advance?"
The customer: :"I don't know, we will need to wait lah"
5)
Me: "So what happen to this machine? "(concerning about our customers satisfaction towards my company's product, because it seems broken in an impossible manner)
The staff: "I don't know, It just became like that"-Huh? like that also can.
6)
When we are having a stock check and found some mistake and would like to clarify with my HQ,
My Staff: "Can I checked whether(3 moths ago) you had received any goods return to you?"
My HQ Warehouse: "I don't know lah, later I check, I let you know." But always this will be last answer we heard from them.
With so many "I don't know" everyday- some occasions if I am weak enough, I might vomit blood.
But I do find some specific occasions that this word does not come in use at all, especially when it comes to "Money". For some example:
1)
Police: "You sudah exceed speed limit, you tau?, so nak jadi kawan?"
Me: "Huh?"
Police: "jika saman RM300 (like my Sales Exec, show the highest price then lower down when request), bayar sekarang RM150."
Me: "Nevermind, saman shaja."
Police: "Betul ke nak saman? RM 100 pun boleh."
Me: KNN...(in my deepest thought)
At the end pay RM 80 at the Police counter.
2)
My Staff: "Why my pay is so little this month? why no commision?"
Me: (thinking that your sales result is not even good at all, somemore complain). "Err, last month you have no sales, so this month the company did not bank in any commision for you."
My Staff:" Eh! I thought the commision will bank in on the same month I do my sales?"
Me: "No, how can the company calculate the commision based on the same month when the closing is at the end of each month and your pay is being released on the 26th of every month" (rolleyes)
My Staff: "Oh, Like that lar"
Leaving me speechless...

Root to my illness aka Viral Infection
Since April this year (2010), I had been falling sick numerous time, and never felt any better.
I thought of maybe I have some serious organ damage issue, like the liver or pancreas which had been getting too much toxication and it is showing signs of deterioration.
So, the last time (around 2 months ago), I went for a blood test, and surprisingly everything is in good condition. Well, think of it, I have strict diets, maintain my exercise and also drink loads of fluids. What had went wrong.
3 days ago, I was having this viral infection again, which I hated, caused, from the outside, I might just look like an ordinary person, but inside me, is suffering high fever, pain, muscle ache, headache, sore throat, and the worst part is the swelling lymph nodes, had causes me a very bad migraine which make me feel faintish.
So I went o the doctor again, the doctor was so surprise and asked me, what had actually happen to me these 3 months. Of course I told him that "I do not know".
Just a brief indication of how frequent I went to see the doctor. Before this years(2010) April, the last visit to a doctor because I am ill is in 2007. So you can see that I don;t get sick because of my health is always maintained at an optimum level.
So after all these things (still taking medical leave today), I start to think, if it is not physically, it might be psychologically then. So I look around for Stress related illness or any caused from being stressed. Oh ya! The answer just pop up, and to my surprise, the result was exactly what I am having. Oh My God! So, I am right, this is a mental disturbed issue.
I will quote this from the online encyclopedia "wikipedia":
"Stress is a physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation. Stress can be divided by time of exposure (chronic stress), effects it has upon the person (eustress) or according to the origin of the stress (workplace). Chronic stress is a persistent stress which can lead to illness and mental disorder"
"Chronic stressors have been proven to affect the immune response, making the person under stress prone to medical illness especially viral infections"
The rest of it (if you're interested), you can read it from the link below for the entire full article about Stress and Immune System "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_and_immune_system"
Now, I think I had stressed to much in my work (mentally) which from the outside you might see me smiling but inside of me an always worrying. And a lot of people will say that "I need to know when to shut down". But perhaps the "Shut down" thing does not work on me, perhaps I can't shut down anything, and perhaps the stress for other people is much more minimal to the stress that I am having which affects me mentally to physically.
Is it worth wasting my time and health on what I am doing now? You be the judge!

Selfish!
Everyone needs to work. And everyone wants to work in BIG corporate organization. Not only trying to squeeze into MNCs and even sometimes lower our "ideal" requirements just to get into such companies.
But do you know that, these companies are actually working like "our boleh government" style wiuth the "tak apa-apa" attitude? If your ideal company is everyone is going to do their job effectively, Oh yes,! you are right(selfish), but if you think that there are considerations for others in order to get the job done better? Well, you are mostly wrong. Why? Most of them don't give a damn to whatever you are doing. This is where your frustration starts. Because your things might got stuck in between the departments while waiting the so "called" process and procedures to be completed.
You might think that this has nothing to do with you, well, once again you are wrong.
Big companies have loads and loads of departments, and all these departments are inter related. So if every department only concentrate in their processes, then how are all the processes going to be carried out on time? That's why every time you will hear the word "firefighting". Why firefighting? because all the things can't be completed on time and only until the last minute when shit happens(mostly when the big bosses are making noises), then everyone is rushing for it.
Nowadays in all the MNCs, which of the projects are not being rushed?Is it because of time constraint or improper planning? No! It's down to the discipline of the people working in those companies.
So think again, if you think that working in big organizations are such a beautiful and organized place. Perhaps you should look around you and see how many people are being treated badly in these organizations with loads of frustration and anger.

Tiredness and exhaustion is catching up!
Lately, I am really getting tired fast.
No energy, and can't even bother to do anything.
The source of energy- "my brain" had been over utilized. And the entire flow of energy had been low.
I guess if you were ask me to throw away my job, I wouldn't mind. ha ha ha...
Cos, it is just too tiring. Physically I am OK, but mentally it's something else. It is more than just feeling tired, it's exhausting and the thought of giving up.
To get over this, the best way is to get rid of the past and start new.
I think very soon the answer will come and I will no more feel so tired anymore.
I "beh ta han" already, since when I can regain my freedom again?
The answer: Next Year lor

Thinking of quiting, seriously!
Since I was sick for a month and on going (20 March- 18 Apr 2010), there is a little voice in my mind pops in and out to stop working for a while and readjusting my health condition.
For a month, I was drifting along the sideline of falling sick and never being recover properly. I do not know what went wrong? There is nothing which should have caused me into this situation, I worked out, I eat properly and I do not have any bad habits. Maybe a few drinks. And that's it.
If I were to compare to other people, I think others will not even had a healthier lifestyle than I do.
Seriously, what went wrong? I am considering of having a long rest and holiday. Because I have not been feeling well and recover from the day I fall sick.
I could not play with my kid, and go near my family members, I had to stay away from them and isolate my self in other room, and I have to sterilise my room and the things I had contact with.
I really pops into my mind that I need to put priority in my health rather than other things.
Well, I am not going to sacrifice my health for any other things at the moment. Furthermore, with this condition, I am having some bad moments(temper) probably from the medication.
Anyway, I am going to rest now.
This feels bad!
