get off my Chat box!!!

If you look to the right and peep into the Chat Box in this blog, you will see tons of strangers leaving their words in there. None of them has any interest in this space, none of them stop by to read at all. They are just parasites , dropping by and leaving their little ads to promote their own blogs which are not even personal ones. They are all ads for some kind of sales! 

I have a deep urge to remove that chat box, seeing that no one actually leaves personal notes there at all anyway.  One way of finding out if these are genuine readers, is to just place your cursor on their name and if it "click-able" then its not worth clicking on!!! 10 times out of 10, the click will bring you to a website that either sells some stuff or advertises some other sell-able stuff!  

So I am seriously considering Clicking on Remove or Delete, and get these pests out of my sight! Yes, I am talking about YOU, the parasite with your leech-like attitude, your days are over..... JUST LEAVE! I am booting u off .... 1-2-3  

mistakenly booked

This is a true story which happened to me couple of months back !! 


"A friend is someone who's there when he needs you"

I can see clearly now, the brain has gone"


Occasionally, I have to travel on business trips to Indonesia with my boss or bosses.  When they have confirmed their departure date,  I would ask my boss, PA to proceed to with the booking of airtickets and hotel accomodation.  I also need to check with customers on those dates if they would be available for meetings / discussion.  But on that particular business trip, I make the booking for both the air tickets


So, this business trip only my other boss n myself was travelling - overnight business travel.  I happily booked the  return flight ticket without going through the details and clicking the confirmed button.  (internet booking via website)  it is so convenient nowadays !! So off, we flew and went about our meeting with customers upon arrival.  WE had meetings till evening and checked into the hotel.  During dinner, another business dinner meeting again.... sooooo tired.  Luckily, the next day,  the morning meeting was cancelled so no need to rush and can leisurely laze about and had a leisure breakfast before going to airport for our flight back to KL.


The fun begin when I was at the check in counter.  Firstly, the PIC was frowning when he checked my booking reference. Later, he called his superior and were whispering among themselves but did not tell me what was happening.  Finally, the news was... sorry Maam, but your return flight is not booked for today but for next month !!! I was like... eh... are you sure.. cannot be as i was the one that make the booking !!! Unbelievable.... what is these people trying to pull a fast one !!! ??  They showed me the booking and true enough the date was for next month.  Cold sweat.. die.. die... how la...  Thank god, there were seats available on the same flight but have to pay only !!! So, how pay la... otherwise stayed there till next month only fly back home... wkkkkkkkkkk..... !!! I was at the counter for almost 30 mins. My boss asked why so long and I said computer system down... !!! Ding... ding... dong... dong.......zapped two new ticket was printed out and the check in gate pass was quickly handed to my boss and told him to clear immigration while I "kautim" over the counter.  The blunder cost RM500++ for two tickets... ok la.... (now can laugh la)... 


So the next time, anyone of you does any booking via website, please check and double check ALL the particulars including the dates of travel before you conveniently click on the confirmed button.  !!  Lesson well learned !!!.


S illy me.....

Neutral

I am not there nor here.
I am not cold nor hot.
I am not that far away but then again I am nowhere near.
I am in the same space but out of the zone.
I am seen , yet I am hidden.
I am fragile but hard as stone.
I am not red, nor black, nor blue nor grey.
I am transparent , yet I am opaque.
I have stepped into the world of the Neutral.
I can be all things at once or none at all.
I am a new ME with no connections.

Born Stubborn

“Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.”

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you”

Every three months, my nephew will have to present himself for medical check up at SDMC visiting his very nice and cute Dr Lee SP.  She is soft spoken and sweet doctor who has shown her concern on his well being.   Being a young adult, we all would expect him to take care of himself including taking his medication diligently and making sure he has enough rest and sleep to avoid attacks (epilepsy) which can just occur at any moment without warning.  Every time, she will ask the same questions and the answers will be the same.....

DR     : Any attacks so far ?

Him    : Eerrrr..... dont know.. maybe got..

Me     : Yes, there were a few attacks.... this month... this week... 

DR     : Ooh...... Why did the attack occur ?  

Him    : Dont know

DR     : Did you take your medication ? 

Him    :  Yes.

DR     : Regularly taking your medication ?

Him    : (Smiling).... sometimes... i forgot.

DR     : How come ?

Him    : If i wake up late, i dont have the time to take the medicine.

DR     : Do you have enough rest ?  Sleeping on time ?

Him    : (Smiling)...........

Me     : Hook on computer games... must play (just like drug addiction).. one day or one hour no computer game is like "HELL".......

DR    : You have to try to control or limit your playing time.  If possible, sleeping pattern must be the same. If you sleep at 11 pm, then try to keep the same time every night.

Him   : Quiet.......

Me    : I dont think he has any sleeping pattern... He will be  playing and playing and playing without any care in the world about time.  

DR   : How can la.... You are an adult and should know what is good for you and must take care of yourself since you have this.  Dont expect others to care for you when you cant even care for yourself.  M sure you would one day, get married and have children of your own.  Can you please try to take your medication and sleep early ?

Him  : Quiet.....

Me   : See,,,, two simple thing also cannot do....

DR   : Laughing... atleast he is being honest. !!

Me   : Pengsan... pengsan......

DR   : You have to try ah !!

The same scenario will take place during the next medical check up. !!

S imply smiling......

SENT OFF!!

Today is the day I am officially "sent off". The journey that started a year ago ended with one final class this morning. It was a bit of a sad moment as we sat in that room for the last time. With certificates in hand, I felt that i was not yet ready for i still have so much to learn. I had enjoyed every single session , be it with the official facilitator or with Sister Connie. There were so much enlightenment and knowledge , so much of Grace and Holy Spirit. We were filled with joy and laughter, and sometimes fear and anxiety. The joy comes from the possibilities and abundance of love that we are to receive as children of God. The laughter was the result of many funny instances of each and every participant in class and
of course the jokes we shared with each other. The fear and anxiety were never from doubts or uncertainly of the beautiful journey we were going through but mainly from shyness and fumbling. I hope to re-join the class , bringing along with me new friends and family members who want to start on this glorious journey. I will be happy to sit through it all again very soon.

Too Nice for my own good

It's true that too much of anything is not good. Excessive eating , drinking and partying is a big NO-NO! But one would assume that anything nice and pleasant can't go very wrong but that was my lesson this year!
I found that being nice if over done can land me in hot soup. For one thing , being nice to this "friend" who seems to hate my guts did not change her hatred for me. I have not spoken to her for almost 2 years and she is still back biting...OUCH OUCH! i am kidding LOL it no longer hurts now. I just laugh when i hear my friends tell me how she bitches about me. I have spent years on end trying to be nice to her and now i have given up and just ignore her.

Showing consideration and concern for parties who apparently seemed lost has also landed me in another kind of predicament. Intentions are misconstrued and I may have been labelled as needy! Never before have i been so misunderstood! It all started with me wanting to lend a hand and somewhere along the way , the roles got switched and I ended up in the opposite party!

Example no.3 is the norm and a classic. I am sure everyone at one point or another has been in this scenario. You thought it would be nice to help out or do something constructive. Sometimes you get appreciative words and other times, there will be an array of complaints to spoil it all. That's always expected and most times, we weigh the odds and think that its worth the effort. That's life. We have to take the good and the bad.

So where does this leave us? Do we still continue to be nice? Do we now identify who we can be nice to and who we have to stay away from? Or if we continue to surround ourselves with people who misunderstand us, should we watch what we say and do?

Easier said than done, we are who we are and no matter how we try and monitor our moves and emotions, we tend to let our guard down way too often. After all we are not Oscar winners , we are not good pretenders , we are Just The Way We Are!!

Plain Old Common Sense and My 2 cents worth!

In our heads lie deep thoughts, which if we allow with our full permission, they flow and stream towards the lips and onto the tongues. Mental ideas that turn into verbal material do not always come out as wisdom. Words have the power to destroy , but then again spoken in the right way , they can calm and sooth. Once vocalised these sentiments make their way through the hearts of the listener. Then the perception sets in, the options are endless. Each segment of your auditory organ only receives the message and sends signals throughout the body.

What one perceives as humour may be seen by another as sarcasm. Wisdom could take a roundaout turn and appear more foolish if intentions are not honourable. Remember that the truly wise has nothing to prove, it’s the ones with an empty heart and a hollow mind that has to continually spread their ideology.



Bottom line is, SHUT UP and hope that no one knows how dumb you are. The quiet will very seldom be exposed as fools. It is the one who speaks loudest and longest that give the secret away. So shut that "trap" and maybe we might see an ounce of intelligence in you. Believe me , that is more than enough credit than you deserve.



And while I am at it, I might as well mention my other peeve. People who seem to think they know it all . OMG, can you please spare us all that recycled knowledge? We don’t need to listen to the “I told you so” as well. Or some on and on gossip about your neighbours’ kids and how they live their lives. Spare me that crap! PUH-LEEZ!!!!

Ok I am on a roll now so this is not the end. How about the ones who seem to think that the world owes them BIG time. They seem to have swallowed the bitter pill and think the entire universe has to bow down to them just cuz they have suffered through some miserable childhood or gone through a bad relationship. Hellooooo, your part of the planet is not a bed of roses now cuz you are stuck in all that negativity. Vomit that bitterness out of your system, suck on some sweet candy and move on to the next thing. No one owes u SHIT!

Last of all, be happy with what you have. Don’t look back at what could have been. Take a deep breath and move ahead, what was in your past is over. If I do sound like I was sprinkling some wisdom, you are wrong. Those are not wise words … It is just COMMON SENSE!
