some days are just yucks!

Had an awful time at work last Friday, took me two days to recover from the trauma to sit down and write about it......man it was yucks!

Being human though, of course we all go around hunting for a scapegoat to blame, but you know something, I do believe that the fault lies in each and every one of us, and not just one person, I learnt some very important things to remember while poring through some books, don't critisize, condemn or complain.....talk about your own mistakes before crtisizing another person.....

I believe that this helps in all areas of our lives, do I remember the blunders I made when I first started out...oh yes! do i remember the stupid questions I used to ask...oh yes!....hence I just wish everyone would just take some bloody timeout to remember how it used to be ......and be more reasonable, more understanding and wiser....to someone new, someone fresh, someone eager to learn but still wet behind the ears........the world would be a much better place......

alas...if only........

absolutely delicious fried rice...

Many years ago I used to frequent this cafe called Backofen in Ampang Point, run by a wonderful couple, the lady named Nora, made this absolutely to die for Fried Rice served with some heavenly Sambal Belachan.

Alas, the cafe is not there anymore and I have been having sleepness nights and salivating days dreaming about the fried rice ...

Does anyone have any idea where they disappeared to?? The Viennese Coffee was also scrumptious.......

I need to get my fried rice fix.......so bad! Help......

Ruminations of an unsound mind...

Tired.....Confused....Lost! Unsure.......next step? what do I want to do with my life? Sigh.....just at a point when I think I want to make a go to make it work great, up pops a couple of job offers that gets me thinking again about ......what else....my life.....

How can you be sure about what you do ....when will you ever know it's the right vocation.........or will I be bent at 72 and then it dawns on me? Man, That'll be a little late to realize I should have been selling kaoy teow at the pasar malam and would have been happier than having slogged in an unforgiving industry for decades.

But you know what, I do love what I do, and I suppose in every work place you will face frustrations with others as others would feel frustrations with you.......but jeez...I wish that someone, somewhere would just start a global work system that every bloody company has to follow.......some kinda structure that works 85% of the time. Maybe that would help certain "parties" get their act together.

I AM NOT PERFECT! I make my fair share of boo boos and blunders. But heck, I try not to do that every single day, what is it about certain departments that just forget to let a thought process pass through their brains before putting it down on paper AND THEN GETTING some other poor souls to execute it???!!!

Do they not know that it would be

A) Impossible to carry outcertain things in too short a time period = Disaster
B) Unclear Briefs about Execution = Disaster
C) Work Overload and Deadlines one day after another = Disaster
D) Neglecting to follow up on things = Disaster


See, I am angry.......angry at myself. I should have checked again and again and again instead of thinking, they are old enough to know what they are doing and they will know the urgency of the matter not to take it lightly.........

Oh Well Guess What ...all above = Disaster!

So, let's see what Monday the 25th of July brings then.......

Ruminations.......my ponderings.....vents.......or it could also be a cow chewing it's cud.......you be the judge of that.....
