Cramp into a small office @ 2012 Jun

Today is my last day working at the current floor, on this coming Monday wil be moving back to the old floor. This is so odd as working with this company, I have move 4 times and fear of moving again. Now the old floor cramp with additonal existing colleagues and squeeze together like inside pigeon cage. The ventilation and air circulation of the whole office going to be unhealthy. I have no doubt people will prompt to take sick leave in near days. With around 50-60 people in the small area with only 2 air-condition with 2-3 horse power each cassette of the air con. It is not a good idea....well.... I guess it is not easy now with the economy in roller coaster mode right now people are more cost conscious. Let see another 1-2 years time how they are going to shove more new team members. Hope things will work out well soon.


This is my previous workstation before moving up.

Honey Smoked Duck (Korea)

Currently Isetan KLCC having Korea Food Fair. I don't fancy Korean food but my sis is a big fan. However this smoke honey duck look promising and bought a packet to try out. Seem it is quite easy to cook especially those who want to have a quick meal. Just toss the duck meat into the pan without any oil needed as the oil will ooze out from the duck meat. It is done within 3-5 mins. However the expiry duration from the manufacturer is 2 months. Just with with plain rice or with pasta is good enough. It is tasty and juicy..unlike those packaged meats in the grocery market. Will definitely buy if Isetan do sell them at all times.

Kikyo Japanese (puchong)

Having buffet lunch in Kikyo Japanese Restaurant in Puchong..it is RM39.90+ per pax. The food is just average and nothing to shout about. But the sashimi is fresh but the portion is a bit off. Do not think will be coming back unless my friends insist on comings If compare the similarity of the same buffet and food provided, would prefer MAIU Japanese Buffett @ Sri Petaling is better choice. However the price is a big higher - MYR 43.80++

Wedding in Malaysia - wear formal or informal??

I'm always happy to receive wedding invitations from my close friends, but I dread to attend. Even my own wedding, I kept as simple as possible as less people attend the better. I dislike big wedding as there is no purpose at all. I still remember last year when one of my US colleague came to Malaysia, before he attend to our senior manager's wedding, he asked what normally we wear for other wedding. I just told him...it is simple..just wear a working shirt and pants is sufficient. He was shocked and asked..no tie?..no jacket? No formal wear? I just replied it is rare to see those attend a wedding while wearing formal wear unless you are part of the family or it is requested by the couple only. He just look at me like I'm weird or pulling his leg. I just said....got people just T-shirt and jean to weddings, ok?? He just continue shock. He look really funny with shock face..hahahahaha! Anyhow, I do think agree that we should respect the couple celebration by wearing appropriately if possible. At least not wearing t-shirt and jeans..totally a no! No! Hope in coming days, people will wear more appropriately accordingly base on the event we attend

Kids toys from the past and current difference

For a year now, everywhere I go like having lunch or dinner in nice restaurant or food stall. I will see kids having their own ipad.

Last 2 weeks, I asked my friend who have 2 son aged 2 and 5 yrs old, why all kids having ipad rather adults. I feel like the purchasing power is actually the kids. He told me that without ipad, it is hard to eat without peace and make the kids occupied with movies and games.

But during my childhood time, I'm required to sit and not create tantrum even I'm bored during a meal time. If I try to be become a monkey (cranky behaviour), my parents will discipline me thoroughly.
In my whole childhood, I only have a baby doll in rabbit costume to play!! My house garden is my playground. I like to pretend the garden is my kitchen where I will pluck weeds or small leaves and light up candles under the plant pots and start cooking the weeds/leaves.

What I feel kids nowadays expect more things to be given to them on their feet than previous generation. Not spoilt but just privilege.

Tipping

Not sure whether it is all correct, as I found some are incorrect thou

Blaming yet not admit oneself wrong

Malaysia's Defence Ministry blaming Google as  they had relied on the free online Google Translate for the English version of its official website, which resulted in the many mistakes found on the site.

Seriously, it is a butt joke for us all. They do not say sorry but blame of Google instead. I guess malaysia ministries do only understand and read BM language. Wonder how they interact with other countries' nation. Probably in broken english or expect others to learn/understand BM????
