Are you in DEEP SHIT?

It's been really stressful at work past few weeks at work. Attending meeting nearly everyday and doing other people's job. I don't want to say that other people are not doing what they are suppose to do but it seems to me some of the people in my team is not doing what they are suppose to do.

I saw people fighting each other and blaming each other on office email. I saw some stupid managers sending out email to everyone saying that he will shut down electricity in certain part of the office on MONDAY. This stupid guy said he has to carry out the work on Monday coz the IT guy cannot come and help him on Saturday. I don't know what some of the stupid managers thinking. This weekend, I can't relax at home peacefully coz people calling me about work and the problems that we had last week is still on my mind.

I'll stop talking about my work and I'll start sharing what I profit from the office mail. Last week my boss send an email to all of us and one of the manager respond to his email. I didn't have time to read the email at that time but when I finally read it, I realized the truth behind the story and I want to share it here so I can come and read it whenever I want to. These are some of the moral story I learn from reading my colleague email.

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gest to the bathroom, her husband asked "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbor", she replies.

"Great" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had a accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said "Fater remember Psalm 129?"

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish"

"Me first! Me first! says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."

Puff! She's gone . . .

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life."

Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch"

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up!

Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree" sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings? replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey packed at a lump of dung, an found i actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there . . .

Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enermy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mount shut!

I hope you guys get something out of it and thanks for reading it till the end.

CSIs are coming back !!!!

Its been quite a while I didn't blog. I was busy with my work, friends, traveling, problems and some other stuffs. Didn't able to do much after work either. Sometimes I went out to play badminton with my colleagues, sometime I went to a gym, sometime I came back home early watch some movies and fall asleep before it finish or sometimes went out with my friends, get drunk and do crazy stuffs. My weekends are also filled with things that I need to do or I want to do and obviously blogging is not in my schedule though I wanted to write something.

Today I woke up around 10:30 from the last night drinking at Archipelago then at my friend's house then at the hawker center and then at my house. I drunk beer, rum and scotch whiskey and luckily I didn't suffer hangover this morning. Ohh . . . another thing that occupied me is Mafia War on facebook. I'm totally additive to it and I play whenever I can. OK back to my story. This morning somehow, CSI and 24 was on my mind and I try to think the website I used to watch movie series online. First I couldn't remember the website and I was even thinking of going through my web book mark site to find it but suddenly I remember it. This is how long I haven't watch online movies and TV series. By the way, the website I used to watch TV series is www.sidereel.com

When I visit that site, and I realized that CSIs are back. And I was surprised to see so many new episodes there. So I googled which episodes were aired in US and I found out that only one episode from my favorite CSIs are aired in the states.

Today, I watched all three CSIs (CSI which is the original CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York) and I can't wait to see new episodes which they will air next week. The opening of these new episodes are awesome and the way they present it was very interesting.

I'll talk a little bit about what I watched today. Start with CSI Miami. In previous season, Eric Delko fled the scene and the team is trying to find him. It starts with the man hunt and Horatio Cane was the center of attention. They are desperate to find Eric Delko. Eric was wounded and he was walking in the swamp. Calleigh Duquesne who was in the relationship with Eric was also desperate to find him. The police dog found his jacket and H (Horatio) asked for chopper to find is fellow team member. Finally Eric got to the road side and where he fall down coz of his wound and of exhaustion. The place he fall happened to be the start of his career in the police business. And it showed how this all happen back in 1997 when H and Eric met. While he was fighting for his life in the present time, the director show how he help H solve a crime in '97 and how Calleigh become CSI and how so called special investigation unit in MDPD become Crime Scene Investigation Unit and how H got the sunglasses (he always ware black sunglasses and I guess this is one of his identity in CSI Miami) and how H help Eric become a police officer and a CSI. It was the story about Eric and H in the past or it can say that it was the story about a tow truck driver who at the end become a CSI. What happen to Eric? You should watch it if you like CSI.

After that I continue watching CSI NY. In the previous season, Jessica Angell, detective who was attached to the CSI team died in the line of duty. She was in the relationship with Don Flack (they called him Flack). In the last season it ended when Stella made a speech about Jessica when the team meet up after work at the bar in the grief of Jessica's death and when someone open fire with an automatic weapon in to the bar. This season starts with the same scene at the bar and showed what happen. In the line of fire, Danny was short and he end up in a wheel chair. It also show a bed room scene of Stella and Adam (lab technician) which make me to rewind again and watch it coz I didn't know they are together. This opening episode is interesting coz there are a lot of hidden clues and it is very interesting to watch.

Then I watch the very original of all CSI, the CSI las vegas. It started with slow motion or freezed scene in the lab. There are shooting in the lab, bullets are flying, people trying to take cover, some people got shot, fighting etc. I believe this make the opening episode very interesting coz the lab is the critical place where the story is based on. A lot of things happened in the lab and in all previous 9 seasons it is the important place and it seems that the lab is under attack. At some point in the episode Catherine's leadership was questioned. And guess who's back? Its Sara!!! Yes, Sara Sidle is back when Ecklie called her get a recommendation for new recruit and she decided to come back and give a hand to the team. There are a lot of twist and turns and I believe it is a good opening season. I loved all the CSIs and I'm still loving them.

Looks like every weekend (most likely every Saturday morning, I'll be glued to my chair watching CSI. Below is the link to the online streaming for opening episodes of three CSIs.

What have I been doing past few months

Well it's been a few months that I wrote something about myself on my blog. Last time I wrote was in April and it was about my birthday and how I spend it with my friends.

Since then I was really busy with my work. I went back to Yangon in April for thingyan. Before I went back I was also very busy with my work. I was supporting my sales team to secure a multi-million dollar project which I thought the chances to win the project was very slim. Two days before I went back to YGN, I went for a technical clarification meeting and then I realized that we are doing very well and it is 80% likely that we could win the project. The buyer told us that the would let us know the results in 3 weeks time. I went back to YGN for two weeks and on the day I went back to work, I was told that we won the project. I was very happy.

This happiness doesn't come cheap. I was assigned to that project and all my free time was end up executing this project. I worked more than 70hrs overtime in May so that I can reach the deadline for some design documentation together with my fellow colleagues who work not less than me. We always work late till 11pm 12am in the morning for about 4 weeks. So I decided to have a break with my best Friends last weekend.

We drove to Genting with my friends and stay there in Genting over the weekend. Since we are not gamblers we end up in a bar with a bottle of Champagne.

This is how it was happen. We were on our way to the casino and we saw a group of people crowding in front of a bar/restaurant. We were curious enough to stop in front it them and join the curious crowd. It was a Cuban lady making a Cuban cigar. We manage to see how they roll a Cuban cigar and we were very interested. After the lady finish rolling the cigar, my friend told me that if they let us smoke the cigar in the restaurant, we will open a bottle of Champagne and we'll smoke a cigar. Well, we all know that it is just an excuse for us to go into that bar and have our night. So we walk up to the waiter at the entrance and we asked them whether we can smoke a cigar in the bar and the waiter told us that we can and he even said the our attribute are fine to go into the classy bar.

We end up in the bar, ordering a bottle of champagne and some cigar and at the end we end up singing Hotel California with the live band. Smoking cigar while sipping champagne feels so good and it was really great. Most of the people don't dare to do it. I smoke a Cuban Cigar roll by a Cuban lady in Malaysia at the Genting Highland with my best buddies. It feels so good.

And while we were enjoying our time, we remember to thank our parents for giving us this live with this kind of friends. I came here to study in Singapore, I was able to study at one of the best university in Singapore. I was able to find a suitable job, able to give my very first bithday present to my mom, with my very own first salary which made my mom cry for her joy and happiness. I was able to bring my dad to the very first Formula 1 night racing in Singapore asmy dad's birthday prasent.

I had a chance to spend my birthday on the highest bar in Singapore with my friends and love ones. Again in the following year I was sipping champagne in the swimming pool with my friends on the beach of Singapore.

This is how my friend tread me, this is how I tread my friends and this is how I live my life. I work like hell (some people think I'm just sitting in the air-conditioned room but believe it or not, it is not an easy job. people run away due to the pressure and work load) and when it time for relaxation, this is how I spend my time with my friends and love ones.

Drinking & Riding

It's been quite a while I wrote something here on my blog. I've been really busy with my work and with my personal life that I don't really have time to write something here. This is what I feel today and I want to share with you all. Especially with my fellow riders.

The bikers say "If you drink, don't drive but you can ride".


It's been a few months that I've start riding a bike and it has been more than one time that I drink and ride my bike. Every time I drink and ride I tend to speed my bike. For the very first time I notice that I was riding more than 120 km/h and I realized that I was speeding.

I went for a biking trip to Malacca with another rider and I rode more than 150 km/h on the Malaysia highway and I felt that I was very lucky after that trip. The day after I got back from Malaysia, my bike broke down in the CBD area and I realized that I was very luck that it didn't happen during my biking trip. My front wheel hub came out and I was able to stop my bike as I was riding less than 40 km/h.

Today, I went out with my friends and I know that there is no road block along my way back home so I decided to drink with my friends. I didn't drink much, only 3 glasses of beer but on my way back I rode like a maniac, cutting through lanes, going through gaps, going through speeding cars. It feels good but it is not safe. I know alcohol make me daring.

Coz of god blessing, I was back home safe and sound but how long the GOD can take me back home? In Burmese saying "အသက္ကို ဥာဏ္ ေစာင့္၏". It means something like "your consideration keep you alive".

So to my fellow riders, think before you do and think before you ride. Happy riding . . .

RIP KING OF THE POP . . .

Thanks . . .

Again inevitable April is here and once again I have grew one year older. I used to be very happy when it comes to my birthday as I used to expect a good birthday party, presents from my parents and relatives and so on. But when I get older, I don't want to get near to my birthday. Reason . . . Don't want to get older, don't want to spend a lot of money for my birthday yet I used to spend a lot with my friends and love ones.

This year I was sipping Champagne in the pool at the beach with my friends and love one. It was fantastic and I want to thank my friends and to the people who accompany me that fine beautiful day.

I just want to thank GOD for letting me live this long, giving me opportunity to meet so many different people/friends, giving me a good job, a nice bike and last but not least wonderful parents who give me lots of love. And I want to thank my friends who remember my special day and call me, sms me in the name of friendship and love. Really thank to those who send me some really nice presents. I love it and I'll keep it.

Happy Birthday To My Deariest Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! May you always be happy, healthy and live many more years with us.
