Hari Raya Dinner

We had a company dinner to celebrate the upcoming Hari Raya festival. Since I was asked to suggest a venue (shouldn’t we check with our muslim friends instead???), I said Saisaki. Saisaki is a Japanese restaurant that services Japanese buffet (duh!). It costs about RM55 per person. The food is quite decent and personally I thought it is a real value for money. Of course people like my boss who eats less than a cat would not get their value worth. And not to mention the company accountant who keeps tabs on how much each person eats. No, he’s not looking for people who overeats, he’s just making sure everybody eats their money’s worth.

Here’s some photos:

Suffice to say, we had a great time.

Moving On

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
And I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Thanks Chris. Yup, I think I can move on now. For those of you wondering, I broke up couple years back (or was it longer?) and yes, I just got over it.

Your cue to say aww….

Ethics

Whatever is happening to us nowadays? Ethics seem to be rare among the youngsters nowadays. I’m talking about work ethics.

They come to work expect to be paid but they don’t expect to be asked to work. They want high salary but they want simple and cushy jobs. They want increments and bonuses but they don’t want to earn it. Even if you want to rob a bank, you still need to plan, strategise, muster the courage and take action!

Decisions made are based on emotions. Morale is based on feelings. Whatever happened to responsibility, accountability and integrity?! I get so sick and tired seeing all this. Sometimes I feel they need a good spanking, especially since they’re acting like kids.

Arrggg!!! I need to go whack somebody…

Health

I got my health profile last week. Guess what? I’m fit as a fiddle with the exception of the high protein and cholesterol level.

When I went to get my health checked, my only concern was my blood sugar level because diabetes runs in the family. But with the report in hand, I was told to cut down on my meat intake (high protein), eat less “rich” food (cholesterol) and drink more water (usual la…). I was wondering what she meant by rich food. My meals seem pretty “poor” to me.

Anyway, I also realised that I have not been taking panadols (or aspirins) for a while now, which is a good thing. I guess my health is really improving.

So should I now pass over the chicken stroganoff with spaghetti and beer?

Nah… I think I’ll survive just this one.

Took a character test recently (again?!) This time it’s Star Trek Personality test. This is what I got…

You are Geordi LaForge

Geordi LaForge 75% Jean-Luc Picard 70% Deanna Troi 65% Will Riker 50% Leonard McCoy (Bones) 50% Spock 49% James T. Kirk (Captain) 45% Worf 40% Mr. Scott 40% Beverly Crusher 40% Chekov 30% An Expendable Character (Redshirt) 30% Mr. Sulu 30% Data 24% Uhura 20%

You work well with others and often fix problems quickly. Your romantic relationships are often bungled.

The scary part is that the prediction on my romances are pretty close to home…
