When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness…all the good things.

Ramadhan is ending, Eid is just few days away. While on the way journey to the office today, I've passed by Jalan TAR. Looking at all those people walking about with shopping bags in their hands, I can imagine how crowded it is going to be this weekend. Have completed my shopping last weekend itself, only left few items to buy.
This year is the first year ever am leaving home on first day of Eid. Its exciting to learned that I can wander around KL city on the eve of Eid which I had never had chance to do so. Been staying in KL for the past 15 years, time do change and opportunity does arise at point we all never knew about it.
The city is getting quiet, even my office is a bit solemn nowadays. With my boss early departure it makes me feel even more quiet. I did not even have chance to say goodbye. I miss him around much these days. Its just empty, though the new AOM is super supportive it take times am sure to adjust. People came and leave.
There are few more that tender in resignation letter, departing for greener pasture. I guess that's life, I myself can't stay that long in one company either. Always seeking for newer ground to play.
Its season of changes in my office now. I find peace here so far, no issue to venture yet for greener pasture. This path is green enough for me at this moment. Until I decide to scout for more adventure. In any field that one work, its all about attitude and right mind set. Five fingers are not the same, we ourselves at time have some inner conflict, let alone dealing with other humans.
To be able to deal with lots of human nature in daily life it has to be someone gifted with the art of tolerance. Not everyone can deal easily with all sort of personality. For me, I don't take it personally its just part of the job. Lesson learned over the years. I do not get involve too deep and keep it at the job level. Those day I often took it personalize until one stage that I can't handle it anymore. Lost almost half of my life because of job.
Above all am always thankful and bless on this journey of mine. Lesson learned, hard way yes, but still am glad of it. The world is small, we will one day came across each other's path again. It is just matter of time. When we meet new person, the old one shouldn't be forgotten ; unless of course keeping them bring harm to your life. Believe me, its better to eliminate those who bring more harm than happiness into your life.
Last night I had dinner with Shan, nowadays he love just to stare at me with that very loving look. Being playful I often teased him off. Deep inside my heart, I am so grateful to have him in my life.
We will not know what it means until we are in that situation or we walked into that journey. Remember the song When A Man Loves a Woman. Each of those words tell exactly what and how it goes when a man really loves a woman. Most important he sees you as a mother to all his unborn children. He picture himself as a father and husband.
I do have a friend who fuss over her lover that never said a word about love to her at all. She seek somewhat assurance in words that this man really loves her. Look beyond my friend. There is no assurance and guarantee about anything in life. Even insurance also have clause of terms. Dealing with heart and soul ; yet seek for assurance...ain't gonna happen girl.
The best is self-guard. Put yourself at some level that Love is just part of life and not the air that you breathe. If one unable to deal with this yet then, its pity cause its petty. If bigger issue like death and illness hit both of you....since the foundation is not there...shattered world and it will just collapse.
I am sure to be devastated if it happen to me, but yet am not gonna die of it that's for sure.
I remember back when I was 10 years old. My neighbour has a beautiful niece. She is simply beautiful, I have to admit that. A boy committed suicide after she rejected his marriage proposal. He drank weed killer (so classic). It was a talk of our small town for many years after that. Then finally she got married. Sadly a week after their marriage, both of this newly wed couple met with accident. Fatal enough to injured her face and one of her leg unable to walk as normal anymore. This beautiful lady has to go numerous surgery to reconstruct her structure again. Husband escape any form on injury.
Again, it become a talk of our small town. Its curse they say, ..oh well whatever. My point is years after that when I was in my teen , heard from my mom that this lady's husband is having an affair and that their marriage is on the rock. Back then, it did not struck my mind much though I do feel it is not fair.
Now, how I look at it there is nothing permanent or guarantee over anything. That's the truth. If anyone wish to have words in guarantee when the truth is...it is just an insecure feeling. The inner feeling is empty...it search for something to soothes and ease in hoping to fill that emptiness.
No matter how, it can't be fill. This kind of soul often very unhappy or just cannot be happy. They are so scared that the happiness won't last. Sorrow will sure come upon it...sure is cause its what their heart talk about all the time. Its a prayer's like.
Even in my recent visit to my parent, mom handed over to me an article about marriage. The article said that husband is only a guest in your life. We treated our guest like how we suppose to be. You cannot guarantee he will stay with you forever. If he decide to leave let him leave, you yourself also find a better life. If none then, don't just lay down and wait for death to come. It is all about confident and positive mind.
The author said that her own husband decided to take a new 'branch'. She allowed it and then the husband demanded that divorce. She said OK, and continue to inform the husband that may I have a new good life with a new person that far more better than this husband. For that the husband pause and decided to let go of this new 'branch'. But things already sour. It will never be the same.
Love your man yes, but don't die for it...in fact don't die for anyone. Live your live for yourself first.
Between me and Shan of course nothing is perfect, flaws are always there but the thing is for me and him we have everything that life could have. Not lavish, but enough. Keep good things to yourself ; evil eyes are watching and heart is cursing.
Watch and curse all they want, I have walked in heaven and walked in hell to get to where I am now. I fear nothing. They say that, don't live life with much expectations then we do have much thing to regret and feel sorry.
Well to me is that, we should set our own expectations and dreams. Set something within our own reach, work on it first then we move to the next level. There is no such thing as express journey into success. Even when we learned it start from basic.
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.

I am very ambitious to explore this blog of mine to the next level. As I said before wanna do something more productive rather than telling about me, my surrounding and my life around the world. Even so, its my blog anyway.
Nothing comes so far to be as interesting for me to share about. Am done with religion and politics. Something will sure pass one way or another. Just keep looking. It should be different from what that has been popular.
02.15AM still wide awake, my one and only night shift for this roaster. I have no idea how it become like this, just one night only. Am flexible, so no issue at all. Soon our team is only consist of six person. Roaster gonna be tough and off days will not be as much as now. Hopefully new batch that comes able to support and work along well. We all do have our differences but at the end of the day its the team work that matters.
Group desire is different than individual desire. With individual desire, it's up to you to feed the fire. With group desire, you get all kinds of people rolling logs on from every direction.

Sloth vs Turtles
A sloth calls the police to report that he was attacked and robbed by a gang of turtles. When the police ask him to describe the attack, he replies:
"I.....Doooon't.....knoooow...
It... all... happened..... soooooo ... fasssst....."
Tiger's Snack
A tiger was walking through the jungle one day and saw two men relaxing under a tree. One was reading a newspaper, and the other was working feverishly on a manual typewriter.
The tiger leapt on the man with the newspaper, and ate him up. The tiger did not bother the other man at all. That's because any predator knows that readers digest but writers cramp.
Presidents
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and George Bush are in a plane.
The pilot says that the passengers must lighten their load. so the three presidents decide to drop one item

So the presidents continue down the road and find someone hopping on one foot, holding the other, cursing. Abe Lincoln asks "What happened?"
"i was standing on my porch barefoot when a penny falls from the sky and hits it!"
The presidents continue once more and find a young boy laughing hysterically.
George Bush asks "What's so funny?"
The boy replies "i farted and my house exploded!!!"
Capital of America
Two kindergarten kids are talking while having a lunch break.
Girl: What is the capital of America?
Boy: Washington D. C.
Girl: No! "A" is the capital of America. You already forgot our lesson: capitalize proper nouns!
Celebrating Life - Part 2
If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.
If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a prayer
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in many ways
that you may never even know.

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and
spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me,
can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees
north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman,
"How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically
correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact
is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything,
you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied
the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people
beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes,
so I'll give each of you one wish each."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Poof! She's gone.
In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."
Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.

This joke is from 2001 when Nortel stock was near its all time low
If you had purchased $1,000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would be worth $67.37 today. If you would have taken that same $1,000 and purchased Budweiser (the beer, not the stock), drank all the beer and redeemed each bottle for the nickel deposit, you would have $78.95.
The moral of the story..... Drink heavily and recycle

A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he laid the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing the receptor on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away." "What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!" With that, the vet turned and left the room.
In a few moments, he returned with a Labrador retriever. The Retriever went right to work, sniffing and prodding, checking the poor dead dog out thoroughly. After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and said, "Bark".
The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a cat, which also checked out the poor dog on the table. As had his predecessors, the cat sadly shook his head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room. The veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600. The dog's owner went berserk. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"
The vet shook his head sadly and explained. "If you had taken my word for it, it would have been $50, but with the Lab work and the cat scan....

The American and the Japanese corporate offices for a large multi-national corporation decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance.
On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese team won by a mile. Afterward, the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommended corrective action.
The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering.
After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team.
So, as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four
steering managers, three area steering managers and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.
The next year, the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American office laid-off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

This guy gets a parrot but it's got a bad attitude and foul vocabulary. He tries everything to change the bird's attitude and clean up its talk but nothing works. Finally, in a moment of desperation, he puts the parrot in the freezer. For a few moments he hears the bird squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly, all is quiet. He opens the freezer door. The parrot steps out and says, "I'm sorry that I offended you with my language and actions. I ask for your forgiveness. The guy's astounded at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what changed him when the parrot continued, "By the way, may I ask - what did the chicken do?"

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.
Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.
Why not?
Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.
And that, my friends, is how company policy begins.
