Management and Their 'Staff'

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing. He approached the young man and calmly said to him. How much do you earn?" The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $2,000.00 a month, Sir. Why?" Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash. And gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing round looking pretty! Here is 3 months' salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for everybody in this company". He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who's the young man that I just fired ?" To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir...!!!"

Oops!..so called MANAGEMENT! that is how well the top people know their staff!!!

Lame Crocodile Stunt

Don't know whether to laugh or cry for this fella. A Terengganu state exco official swam across the Puteri Lake trying to prove that the lake was not infested with crocodiles.

Why did he do that? It's to comfort the minds of those who criticised him for choosing a crocodile infested lake for a major national canoe competition. Upon finishing his feat, he said that there were NO crocodiles in the lake.

Of course the crocodiles won't surface looking at the number of people that were accompanying one state exco man in the lake. Try doing it with lesser people. Crocodiles also got brains. Could be bigger than his. He was also trying to proof the crocodiles wrong if they were to make their moves as I'm sure his guys were carrying guns for just in case situation.

I Sleep Better With Chipster

The Nuffnang Pajama Party
Date: 8th March 2008
Time: 6.30pm – 11pm


Venue: Borneo Baruk Club, Kuala Lumpur
Dress Code: Pajamas! (Or anything you sleep in)

Wah lau eh ................. anything that I sleep in? Hello Boss Stewie, how lah. You should have done a much wider survey with Nuffnang members or even conduct a random survey with the general public prior to fixing that dress code.

Most of the time I'll sleep with my shorts and t-shirt. Or if that night was raining/cooling, I may sleep in my shorts only. Not that I never wear shorts and t-shirt in public but those pajamas would usually be the old and torn attires. You won't wear your latest t-shirt to bed, right?

Don't tell me Nuffnang was expecting semi-naked partygoers appearing at their 1st birthday bash???? What a way to celebrate!!!!

Now that was a guy's pajamas style. Some people spelt pajamas as pyjamas. Which one is correct?

By the way, is the dress code applicable to the ladies as well? Ahem ........... again, the dress code issue was not addressed properly. I'm 101% sure that the ladies won't be wearing what they wear to bed to Nuffnang's birthday bash thus defeating the purpose. Your guess is as good as mine. Furthermore, the ladies would actually go and buy a more conservative new pajamas to attend the birthday bash.

One more thing - I wear spectacles and I sleep without it ......... oh nooooooooooooo. Sighhhhhhh.........might as well not go as I won't be able to see clearly during the birthday bash. In that case, I have to dress up properly to sleep in nights to come so that I could go in what I sleep in for that birthday bash. Ah.......Nuffnang, I'm sure there's no cut-off date for that, right? If you tell me the cut-off date was 12 Feb 2008 then be prepared for a semi-naked guy on that night. You asked for it!

And the best part, Nuffnang has created a sleeping theme for me which is called "I Sleep Better With Chipster”. Just when you thought it was just a party, it comes with many challenges too. My family members would be thinking that I had gone crazy by bringing in the Chipster packs to my bedroom. Surely the following conversation will occur:-

Mom: Why did you buy so many Chipster packs? You still have friends coming to the house during the Chinese New Year?

Me: No mom. Just for myself.

Mom: Huh? Why so many? Surely you'll get sore throat by eating those. You better make sure you drink more water. Those type of titbits have lots of ajinomoto in it one.

Me: Aiyah, you don't worry lah.

Mom: Eh, eh, why are you bringing all of it into your bedroom? Crazy ah? After the ants will go into your room.

Me: Aiyah ma, I know what I'm doing. This Chipster packs will bring me fame later on. It will be an open door for me for something grand on coming 8 March. Explain to you, you also won't understand one lah. Anyway, I sleep better with Chipster.

Mom: Crazy one.

Do consider those concerns raised as above otherwise it could be called Nuffnang's Bashful Birthday instead. My 2 cents (better use as many of my cents before it is untradeable in March 2008).

Dining at Pavilion

Was at Pavilion shopping centre during the Chinese New Year break. This is the latest shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur that has opened in December 2007, at the shopping hub located at Jalan Bukit Bintang area.

What was I shopping for? Not really but to meet my cousins from Singapore for lunch. The shops located in Pavilion were mostly branded stuffs and not within my means or not necessary to have it in my closet.

We went down to the lower ground floor and found that the food court was operated by Food Republic. According to my Singaporean cousins, it was owned by a Singaporean that owns the Bread Talk confectionary chain as well.

No idea who owned this J.CO Donuts & Coffee but I did hear from friends that people queued up to buy their donuts or doughnuts however you spell it.

And I saw it with my own eyes. Were their donuts really that top notch that people were willing to queue up for it?

I'm going for lunch so no urge to line up there and I dislike waiting for food like this.





Celadon, a Thai restaurant located at the 6th floor, our lunch destination.















There was this room nicely set up but it was of full view to shoppers walking pass the shop (as seen on right hand side in above picture). Definitely won't sit there.













I ordered this Thai Iced Tea where they used mix tea, milk and gula melaka as the sweetener. Don't stir the bottom thoroughly otherwise you would only taste the gula melaka instead of a tea drink.













Plenty of food for six adults and I was again relied upon to finish up the food. Always the case.















In almost every dishes, there were special sauces to accompany those dishes. Marvellous sauces that added special taste to each dish.

Cost? No idea lah as my cousins treated us so I willingly ate as much as I can. No worries as everything is considered half price to Singaporeans considering the fact that Singaporean currency was worth double our Malaysian currency.








If I could recall those prices in the menu, it was alright for a restaurant with such settings seen in it. Not a big restaurant, roughly around fifteen tables.

Everyone of us agreed that service was impeccable. When the ladies in our group enquired about the washroom's location, a waitress guided them to the place and actually waited for them to accompany them back to the restaurant. Now, that's what I call service with customers in mind. Created a good impression in our hearts.

They do have a wine list but we were not keen on it on a hot afternoon.

Whipped Ocean in Sydney

Suddenly the shoreline north of Sydney were transformed into the Cappuccino Coast. Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards' centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales. One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.

Boy in the bubble bath: Tom Woods, 12, emerges from the clouds of foam after deciding that surfing was not an option.

It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore. As a wave starts to form on the surface, the motion of the water causes the bubbles to swirl upwards and, massed together, they become foam.The foam 'surfs' towards shore until the wave 'crashes', tossing the foam into the air.

Whitewash: The foam was so thick it came all the way up to the surf club'.

It's the same effect you get when you whip up a milk shake in a blender,' explains a marine expert. 'The more powerful the swirl, the more foam you create on the surface and the lighter it becomes.' In this case, storms off the New South Wales Coast and further north off Queensland had created a huge disturbance in the ocean, hitting a stretch of water where there was a particularly high amount of the substances which form into bubbles.






I'm sure of one thing, it's real bad case of serious pollution and having fun in that will surely gain a gift too - a skin disease!

Believe it or not?
