At the gas station, I saw a man in his late 40s to early 50s dressed in his underwear, putting gas in his car!

Tired but can’t sleep.
It’s one of those nights. So many things going on in the mind.
Trying to plan out my tasks for tomorrow. Wondering where I’m heading. Thinking about decisions made, making decisions, decisions to be made.

I detest rudeness.
Some may confuse bluntness with rudeness. My two cents is if you can’t decide which is which, just don’t say anything at all till you can figure it out. And don’t expect everyone to put up with it if you decide to go ahead and open your mouth.

You’d think corporate people would be more civic-minded but no, they are not.
I am especially annoyed when they don’t clean up their mess after they use the toilet because I have to clean it up so that the next person who uses […]

See, I can be quite ok pals with some people (but not really close) so they may feel that we’re good buddies. But sometimes, there comes a point where, due to their personalities/characteristics, I […]

Team size : 50 at peak

Had a short powwow over cake and coffee, with the app manager after our gruelling full-day session with the client.
He is from the London office and he shared the differences between his office and the KL office.
The stark differences between how the London office values their staff vs. the KL office is quite appalling.
It seems that […]

The Home Minister said, in defence of the cow-head incident :
“I have it in my records to show there were cases where a pig-head was used by irresponsible parties including leaving the head in front of an Umno building covered by an Umno flag,” he said in a press conference after coming out of a […]
