It's really boring to have a routine life, it's boring to have no partners, I might start searching again..
Being a good boss
Monday, June 16, 2008 at Monday, June 16, 2008 Posted by Allan
Sometimes I think it's pretty easy to be a boss and yes it is indeed very easy. But it is very hard to be a good boss. From my working environment I can see two type of bosses. One is the "Chinaman" boss and another is "Modernized Boss". I pretty believe that people nowadays have different mindset and people need freedom to perform their best at work.
I'm not sure why there are still perception that "if you are not doing your job then you are not working" kind of thinking. It's pretty.................. unacceptable (at least for me). Seriously, to think of it, one might get inspired from the non-working related material and might boost their working moral and their performance too.
Being too calculative with your employees too gonna cost you a lot. Serious. Sometimes I think it's better to give more benefit to the employees and they will be more dedicated with their work and help you a lot more. Hahaha well that's my opinion, and that's what I see from my boss and my boss gf (who also is a boss). Old times bosses shall change in order to success...
Father Forgets
Saturday, June 14, 2008 at Saturday, June 14, 2008 Posted by Allan
Ok.. In conjunction of fathers' day... I come up with one post.
Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guilty I come to your bedside.
There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor.
At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, "Goodbye, Daddy!" and I frowned, and said in reply, "Hold your shoulders back!"
Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came Up the road, I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before you boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive - and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, form a father!
Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. "What is it you want?" I snapped.
You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.
Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding - this was my reward to your for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.
And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed!
It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: "He is nothing buy a boy - a little boy!"
I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother's arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.

Something really spoilt the mood
Thursday, June 12, 2008 at Thursday, June 12, 2008 Posted by Allan
Nevertheless I just want to share something to everyone.
I wonder why people here (around me) will look like damn "not-my-type" of people. Today my mood is kinda good, and I expect it's a good day coming. But hey......... things happen
Whenever I step into my office, there's this fella always give the "dulan" face, always telling people that she's not feeling to work... Well... Go home sleep then.... don't come and give the face to people. This kind of people will just spoil the whole environment. Seriously!
What's more important than a start up mood? Stop complaining you earn less and bla bla bla all the shit you can't get due to your incapability. I don't feel the "closeness" among my friend last time. Whatever is norm for me is like "WAH-WOW-Factor" for them...... I'm just being back myself, duh!? You don't want to upgrade yourself then that's your problem what.. I will not stay at the middle class life or whatsoever they call it.. I'm not criticizing the middle class or whatever .. But I do have my own life, I do enjoy chasing the life I want, I will improve, I do read books, I do improve my knowledge, and the list continue....
You may say I'm rich guy which with his brag, but I consider myself as a moderate guy, I guess they just have not see people spending worst than me. Come on!!! People spend what they earn, and that's their freedom. They are capable and don't envy them, don't jealous, you also can do that you see.. It's just that you always think that you can't that's why you can't.
OK hahaha time to go back to work..
Hehehe just want to release some "bad" stuff that I can't let off at anywhere :P
