“It may seem sometimes like we don’t know what we’re doing. And it’s true: we don’t. That’s a bit scary, but you can take comfort in knowing that nobody else knows how to do what we’re doing either… so there are no experts in what we’re doing. Except for us: we are becoming experts as we do this.”

by Tony Hsieh from his book

Every goal that has never been reached began with one step – and the belief that it could be attained.

When the road becomes hard to travel and it feels as if you’ll never reach the end….look deep inside your heart and you will find strength you never knew you had.

Believe in yourself and remember that dreams really can come true.. – Unknown

Happy Chinese New Year.

A time to meet up with some good people.

A time to reflect.

May 2010 will be the year for you and me.

Be safe, be good.

Expect some office hour rants and late night blogging from me.

I  feel ‘lucky’ in my job because i get to work and meet lots of ppl – from Bangla & Indon labours, admins, accountants, managers, engineers,CEO, COO, Dato’, Datin and some highly ranked officials.

Humans have never failed to amuse me, and i have came to a conclusion that the smarter (or atleast you think you are) the more amusing you are. Seriously, you don’t get funny shit from lowly educated people but those sitting up at the top or some kind of PhD holders and engineers, they give you some top quality shit. I shall call it my ‘perks’ from this job.

On a typical day, i get some emails from customers(smart ppl they are). Let me share with you what happened to me today.

…..

Case 1 :

Customer :Lets go with design B.  XXX will give you the appropriate photos for the report.  I want to see the complete final copy before we go to print . When can the complete copy be shown to us for proof-reading (assuming XXX gives you the photos within these couple of days)?

Read the question in italic. What kind of ‘question’ is this la? How are we suppose to know how long is your couple of days la,encik? If you can’t give me a date, how am i suppose to answer u la..

So if i would to answer you, i will just say …

Me : We will give you the complete copy after a couple of days after receiving the photos within this couple of days.

Well… it does not take a PhD holder or rocket scientist to know that my answer is not an answer.

Case 2

Me : How many seater van /mini bus you need?

Customer :Please explore first and from there I will decide.

One word – PENGSAN. Period.

…..

Sometimes i just don’t get it how some people work.

Takkan sudah siap berak baru nak cari jamban ! Serupa lap pungkok sebelum berak, londeh seluar selepas berak. Some minat kerja style terbalik.

I seriously think i should cut down my internet hours. Plan to catch up reading my photog magazines and learn something new.

GOAL 1 : For a start, 2 hours of internet after office hours (unless needed) on weekdays.

Internet is so fun, but sometimes it sucks big time.

TOO MUCH OF SOMETHING IS NOT GOOD.
