Petrol Price Dropped. Why isn't the food price?

I were pumping my car petrol when the pump stops at a lower cost than the usual one I seen. I thought the pump faulty, thus i try pump once again. But still pump stop again. Then only i remember the petrol rate has dropped few days back.
Wow.. feeling amazing as this time the differences is quite big. 👍👍
But then, suddenly something comes up to my mind. Always when the petrol rate increased, most food or drink price too increased. This time the petrol rate drop a lot. But i don't see that the food or drinks I paid get cheaper also. It remain on same price..
Seriously??? To be honest, I can't believe and accept it. Is this what we called fair?  Hmm..

常 識 改 變 命 運

    在讀書頒獎禮上，有一個中學生問：知識是不是真的可以改變命運？
     知識可能會改變命運，也可能不會。但是，常識就一定可以改變命運。
      一個人如果只有知識而無常識的話，許多知識都是死的，這樣的知識再多，不過是一堆 字眼或者方程式。你或許可以靠這一堆字眼或方程式謀生，但因為缺乏常識，許多事情走着走着就會走進死胡同，就會鑽進牛角尖。知識是，白飯裏含有什麼什麼致 癌物質，連吃一百碗會有生命危險，常識是，不管有什麼物質，連吃一百碗白飯人一定死。

      這也是為什麼今天教育普及了，諮詢更是發達得觸手可及，但糊塗人卻越來越多，上當受騙的人越來越多的原因。因為有常識的人越來越少。

      從前人稱「有識之士」，說的是知識，那時候讀過書的人不多，但常識大家有。今天正 好相反，大家有書讀，遍地大學生，知識一點都不缺，常識卻異常矜貴起來。今天的「有識之士」，其實都勝在有見識，說穿了，就是有常識。有常識的人明事理， 知進退，辨是非。沒有常識的「知識份子」，是個笑話。

      所以，知識未必改變命運，常識可以。不要迷信知識，要相信常識。

健康比压力更重要

李宗伟， 好好休息吧。。 养好身体再战过。。
不用管任何的压力。。 做好本分和尽你能力了就够了。。
你又不是超人，也不是铁人。。 别为一时的压力，毁了健康，毁了将来。。

手上的责任就暂且交给他人吧。。  整个国家不可能永远都是靠着你一个人吧。。

戏都有做，能力越大，责任就越大。。
每当做了好事，大家就会如常的高兴，但，一旦做错一件事，就会被人怪到好像是罪人那样。。
例子不用多，就拿在上映的Avengers就够了。。
世界受到攻击时，能力大的人不帮又不是，帮了又被觉得是有威胁性的危险人物。。

人通常就只会抱怨和责备，胜过感激。。
真可悲。。

所以结论就是。。，尽量了就够了。。 目前要做的事。。， 好好休息吧。。

祝。。早了康复。。

Know how to operate microwave?

The office microwave was left open when I go to pantry.. Though no food is inside but the smell obviously proved that the food is scorched.. And the reheating level was set to High (which was very hot for microwave).
Somehow I wonder, is it that the user do not know how to operate a microwave, or is he/she really short of time for even 1 / 2 mins longer also can't wait.. Normal standard seldom recommend "High" usage of microwave for safety purposes...
Probably the user have a special favor of consuming charred or scorched food I guess..   :D

Not sure i should pity the Microwave or the food being microwaved..
Well, whoever he/she is, 保重咯...!!!

聪明人做聪明的选择

我想了又想。。 想来想去都想不明白。。 到底上师高薪租一个不同部门的”人才“来干嘛。。

帮我？ 我并不觉得他有帮我什么忙。。 我手上至少有八项工作在等着我处理，而且需长时间。。 （因为目前我三人部门只剩下我一个在撑着。。 一人做三人工作。。）

而他，我只看到他来了整两个星期都只是在做一个EQUIPMENT的设定。。 我的Admin叫他打个电话拿些质料那么简单他都要PASS给我做。。 因我不得空老板叫他查些事情，转个头他又PASS回给我。。 理由是他赶着去喝午茶。。 = =“

我从早到下午就连和同事喝茶时间都没。。 都还没出声。。 他做那少少东西就多多东西讲。。 还是早上十点半，十一点才到公司那种。。

哈哈哈哈。。 真搞笑，该请的不请，不该请的就请，底薪能干的不请，高薪请些废人。。

新管理的也真够”聪明“。。 佩服佩服。。

但也要感谢新管理的，因为我以前也蛮敬佩那不同部门的”神“，但因一起工作所以我认识了真正的他。。  谢了。。

心语： 我敢写出来，就不怕被人读到这篇ARTICLE，因我所写的都是事实。。 

Not Responsible on Other's Mistake

There's this long long time ago, I have encountered a problem in a scenario which I also predicted it's going to get worst soon in future if there's no changes to be made. I have been trying and trying very hard to advise the management to avoid such decision by explaining the consequences but none of them would just listen.

And now the situation arised and everyone come request me to be the assistant in this scenario which is totally out of my job scope while meantime I were overloaded?

I don't think I have a choice but to say, "this is mistake not made by me and I have did my part in advice, they should have aware of the consequences the time they made this decision. So I'm not going to responsible on this. TQ."

In addition is, those who facing the problems now but insist to follow the decision too should have known that they have to take the consequences as...  I did notified them earlier about this.. and they shouldn't be complaining now.

Bad Mood

Today my mood is quite terrible and bad, really feel like looking for someone and smash on his face to release the anger. Arghhh....!!  All thanks to this Mr. "B" of mine. It is his cowardness which caused all this corruption. It is his so called "style" which raise up not only me but everyone else's anger. It is his selfishness which caused all this cycle not running properly and facing interruption. It is all because of him. 

• Mad but not dare to scold. 
• Wants to control others but not dare to let others know.
• Wants to give intruction but scared of being blamed.
• Runs away when problems occured by giving excuse "Not his style".

Just what the "F" is this? Is this suppose to be the way on how he manage things??

Though we understand perhaps he is trying to fix things up, but with his wrong ways of handle thing and attitude, I think he will probably get hated by the world before he can even fix a thing.

Misuse of FourSquare

It's been a while that I were planning to post. There's this 1 day when I'm trying to check in on FourSquare as usual. Guess what? There are some places with weird name appears on the list of nearby places, brand new that is. Only thing is I were wondering who is the person who will create such places. There are more than 10 spots which have been created and I can confirm they are from the same person. Why can I be so confirm? Please view pictures below and you'll understand.

Matured person will definitely not create place using such name. Only word I can describe such person is "Innocent". = ="

Frustration - Money Not Enough

It's getting more and more frustrated for me nowadays... = ="

Reason? Income which is so low is no longer able to support the daily life nowadays especially with all the price increment which is getting more and more frequent...  While at the other end, my company's annual increment is by standard not much.. And I really mean not much..  Wait for bonus? It's sorry to tell that there's no bonus for my company as it's on KPI basis. Unlike some others company, they have KPI + Bonus to ensure that their employee has enough remuneration and satisfaction. 

I doubt that until when can I obtain a higher pay if I am to remain in the same company for the next few years. 

The situation I'm on currently is similar like "壁虎跳墙". I really don't have much choice but to locate for other way out. 

Wish me luck...!!

December - Christmas Month

So it's finally December..  Last month of year 2011. Time flies so fast..   One eye clip and it's already end of year 2011. Well, life has to go on..

Wish everyone luck in completing their final / closing task of the year. 

Upon that, December is also the month of Christmas. We can see a lot of Christmas decoration all over the shopping complex everywhere around. 

Hope the environment and mood continues as these days seems like celebration mood is getting lesser and lesser..   No matter is Hari Raya, Christmas or Chinese New Years...   (Shake head)

Hopes everyone cheer up and don't let the celebration and cheerful spirit faded.... 

Pending Task to Do

It seems like there's many thing waiting for me to do which I didn't even manage to complete at once. For example, I were suppose to post a paragraph of opinion regarding my lunch today. But then, I have just too many other things attached which doesn't allow me to actually blogging for the time being. Ending up I'm posting this shot paragraph at hour like this. = ="

I guess I'll have to wait til I've settled everything only I can concentrate here.. (Actually there've never been ending for my pending task, new task always comes when old one cleared). 

Wish me luck....!!

Good Motorbike Rider

This morning while on the way to work.. There's one motor rider which I really felt like respect as these days it is hardly found to have such type of motor rider anymore. He was driving slowly but no too slow (too slow will caused slow traffic and block), making sure he could stop his bike on time shall there be any emergency issue. Another point to him is he knew he should avoid from driving in the middle if the road so there's still enough space for cars from behind to pass through. Too bad it's on highway otherwise I might stop by to express my respect to him.. =)

70% of Motorcyclist's attitude these days:

1. Speed like chased by police.
2. Cut through lanes between cars like they are vulnerable.
3. Drive at middle of lane in tortoise speed like the road is theirs, even though they notice there'slong queue of cars behind.
4. They knew car will changed lane at their front and yet they increase speed instead of slow down. I wonder who will lose their life if accident happened?

To motor rider, please secure your life. Think for your love one. It is better to drive safely than sorry. Try and think yourself.

Effectiveness of a Signal Light...

It's so funny. I still remember there's this ads on local radio described a scenario where a guy over cut lane without watching cars at the back and thus being screwed, although signal light is given. This scenario is actually a wonder, I think not only me but among a lot of us. Why is that? Well let me explain on it.

Scenery 1:

You see, as all the drivers know. Signal light is is used when one is trying to change lane and wish to get permission from cars on that lane in order to slow down and let this car pass through. Now, the problem is, the signal light is somehow very effective where..., the driver who wants to change lane, after confirmed that car on other destination lane is very far behind, turn on the signal and slowly move the car to different lane. But, however the car which is slowly behind on the other lane, saw the signal from this car, and immediately accelerate the car to speed up to the front so that this car is unable to move into the lane. While in the other hand, when the car just change lane without giving signal, the car at the back knows that it's too late and did nothing nor accelerate. What the heck? So the signal light is now actually used for car behind to give no permission to other car to change lane? My gosh...

Scenery 2:

Besides situation above, there are people who misused the signal light as well. How they do it? Different from scenery 1, they will not care whether the car on destination lane is far or close. They feel like want to change lane, turned on signal light, and straightly move in to the other lane, regardless on whether there's car very near on the other lane or not. This situation is like.., "whether you allow or not, I'm coming in." or "there's no space for me to move in, then slow down your car and make way."

After reading these scenario, you see. I seriously doubt what is the actual usage of a signal light. Should we use it?? Or should we not? Sigh..

Maybank Visa vs Citibank Visa

Just now I were trying to pay my TM bill using my Citibank Visa credit card, via Citibank online of course. As you all know, these days TM phone bill and TM Net bill has combined together since years ago if I'm not mistaken. So there's no need to pay the TM Net bill or the phone bill separately anymore. Unless the bills still comes separately, otherwise it will be a "wasting time to do extra steps" action.

You know what, when I attempt to pay the TM bill using Citibank online, the payee list available for payment in Citibank was only TM Net. There's no TM / Telekom Malaysia for option. What a disappointment. 

However, in Maybank2u the available payee list is at least double or more than the number on Citibank Online. (In this case there's no need to ask me why don't I just use Maybank2u instead as I've got my personal reason.)

Citibank is good, but not good enough. There's still room to grow. Will look forward for their improvement.

Sri Petaling 的手打版面

今天早上，本来想赏试一下Sri Petaling Esso油站对面的一家面档，据挂牌所说是一家手打版面档。 时间已经不多，所以我和老婆就到煮食处向煮厨order。但他却叫我们先坐下，他待回就过来。。 我们等了蛮久。。看他都写完其他人的order但都还没过来这边。。 开始有点不爽了。。 过去煮食处看看，他还亲自正忙着准备刚order的人的材料（都还没开始煮）。我敢肯定如果我们要吃他版面，至少还必须过半小时才能吃完。。必定大迟到。。算了。。我们没那么多时间等。。 所以最后就换了去旧街场，二十分钟完成了我们的早餐。。

小意见：恕我直言，我们并没赏试到他的版面，不能肯定他不好吃。。 但，他确实有点慢和像是人手不足。如果真的要吃的人。。请确定你们是不赶时间，而且不介意慢慢等才去吃。。 

Prevent Drink Can with Mouth

This is Serious! An incident happened  in North Texas . A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit.  She died on Wednesday.

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis... Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part
of all soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of all soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i.e.). full of germs and bacteria. So WASH THEM FIRST with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident. You may consider using a straw or glass to drink it instead. Recommended.

Blogger United No More

Recently, after I am back to my blog update again. All of certain that i remember there is one site which I has not been log in since decades ago.. As long as since I last update my blogs. Then I go and type this "www.bloggerunited.com" on my web browser and press enter. Wah lah, the screen below shows up to welcome me by saying the Server not found...

Sigh.., I were unable to load the page no matter how many time I refresh/reload the browser. Wonder what happened. Server down? URL banned? Well too bad, there's nothing much I can do about it except to forget it slowly. =.=" 

Hope one day I could see you appears once again. Bye for now..

Taman Midah Road Renovation

Recently last week，finally DBKL has decided to change the lane of the “JAM” road of Midah. Which is in front of the Pasar road only. Though the road is double way, but thanks to those "irresponsible driver" who always double parked their car on the illegal yellow line. So DBKL is now to renovate the road to be a single way road plus changes the parking lot direction a little bit.

 

DBKL blocked the road in order to start their renovation.

Draw the new direction Arrow on the road...

Preparing paint of parking lot lines...

The other entrance of the road, blocked.. Some clever driver still attempt to drive in..  Sigh... No comments...

However, after the renovation.. I thought the road are suppose to be more smooth as it's now one way only.. But who knows there's still these people double parking on yellow line..  Making no difference as all car still have to stop and long queue to wait for car in front to either wait for car park or junction out.

Iphone / Ipod Audio Player

Man, on these days no matter where i goes I can always see these Audio Player with IPOD / IPHONE jack enabled port. What the?? For example picture above, taken from LowYat page listed the audio products which fully for IPHONE/IPOD. Even though the normal Mini Combo Player by no matter Panasonic, Pioneer etc too are into this IPOD/IPHONE enhancement these days. 

Wow, I don't mean to be envy or surprise of some sort. It just that from this we can see how popular is it for the IPHONE/IPOD in Malaysia these days..

But too bad it's not bluetooth files transfer enabled and doesn't support free download-able softwares. Otherwise, who knows i might into the "I" technology too.. ^^

No Parking Day

Today is Sunday.. A good day for me.. Because i can park my car free at any place on the street side without worry to be summoned by DBKL. It's of course to be advised that not to park the car too obviously illegal which either block the whole road or caused traffic problems to the others road users.

But actually, yes it's free from DBKL summons. But then, some unfortunate area we can see the appearance of these Illegal Parking Fee Collector groups, showing up and start collecting money from driver who parked their car although the area is suppose to be personal shop lot parking or Sunday, a no parking charges day. I wonder why didn't the government or party concerned do anything about this since they have set the public holiday as a no parking day. Possible reason for that, i do not want to discuss here.. But I believe the dissatisfaction on most users are for sure slowly increasing. Just waiting for the time to come only. 

Messages for the party concerned: I believe most driver would not want to argue with the Illegal Collector as they do not want anything to happen on their beloved car when they are away after the parking. As you see, there's this "illegal" word on their names. If you get what i mean. Therefore they will only plant their hatreds on the legal party who are suppose to be responsible.
