Stupid questions? Smart questions?

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?

How does one address to a smart question? Can he reply with a stupid answer?

Some questions are meant not to be answered, then is it still a question itself?

How stupid is a stupid question, when there is only measurement for intelligence but none for stupidity? Or does it work in parellel?

Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on?

If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but people don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does mineral water that has "trickled through mountains for centuries" go out of date next year?
Why do they call it taking a dump? Shouldn't it be leaving a dump?

How come you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dying?

Why oh Why?

Rude or Be-ruded

I bet all of you have encountered this before, meeting someone who is utterly rude and at times ridiculously unreasonable which then leads to the question that, how can a human be such a bitch?

My mind usually comes to a quick analysis on entities like this when I met any of them personally, they might be high in their ego-boost, a point to prove, you might accidentally begrudged this person when you were 6 in the kindergarten, etc etc, there might be many reasons...

But i cant find a reason why someone can still be so rude even under the pressure of public observation, say in the middle of the cinema Q and says hey, "I don't like your shirt (pointing at a Chelsea Jersey some poor guy is wearing), go get a change"

And i really don't understand why someone could actually backdown on this kinda 'request'

As that poor guy really just literally ran away with his partner.. and wow..

If he could have at least show some guts to retaliate, I am more glad than willing to assist him in a polite-manners.


Really.. this kinda ppl and that kinda ppl kinda sicken me a little while..

In this case, I screw the old saying of 'One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness'.

If i was the one wearing that blue jersey, I will pay him an eye for an eye.

Making money

There are so many ways to earn a living, from hunting, cooking, prostitution, to a more sophisticated method such as selling ideas, knowledge to even selling virtual space (websites).

With the due upcoming hike in daily expenses and all, many thought of growing their own 'business tree' by looking for a solution or an alternative to what they have been doing ever since to earn some butter money.

Some resolve to MLM, some to additional freelance work, some keep hoping around into diff corps.

Well, this is how the financial world is growing at the moment, for the fresh generation like us.

You see any tiny hole that you might be able to squeeze something out of it, you try.

Well, I wonder who gets the greener side of it from the sudden burst of talent in the market.


Finance is the art of passing currency from hand to hand until it finally disappears.

Wider horizon

Tomorrow will be my last day working @ Millennium Associates, it was fun working for/with them. Good experience for someone like me who is completely new to the Public Relation world to have some good 3 months of first hand battlefield experience in this particular industry.

Truthfully, I enjoyed my last 3 months here @ Millennium Associates (MA). They might still be young in terms of existence (formed roughly a year ago), but they're indeed an emerging lifeforce in the local PR industry. Experienced and skilled bosses in various areas, sharp senior execs and fairly fluid yet efficient workflow, it was a good learning opportunity for me.

I've learned that simple can be a beauty as attractive as complex. Clean, sharp, direct, proper, and accurate. Easier to say than done.

Overall, I think if i am to stay in the field of Public Relation, hmmm, I can't really tell what might happened to me, but I am sure that I won't be a big success. I tried to be simplistic in my approaches at time, but... overflowing with ideas/actions could be one of my many weaknesses.

Anyway, from next week onwards, i will be "unemployed" well, a freeman to permanent employment. While, I will be working on several freelance jobs (some already secured, some still pending). Little to my surprise, if I could secure all of the prospect deals, in terms of $, I will be earning more than my current monthly wages. Additionally, it would most probably take up 2 weeks of my time only.

How wonderful?

Hereby, another quote which I somehow managed to pull it out of my rusty and web-clogged memory storage and not able to remember who said it, here you go,

" A desk is a dangerous place from which to watch the world."

It narrowed your view perspective and hence... refrain your ambition and sets the limitation for yourself without knowing your own limits.


That's bad for health.

Happening week

This week has been fun and interesting for me, it is pretty much fast pace with many intriguing elements (both expected and unexpected).

First, I have broke my record in multitasking by operating 2 PCs, talking on the phone, massaging my dog with my legs, eating, and writing down notes at the same time. I am so regret that I couldn't find anyone to take a video on that.

Second, I went to the parliament this Monday!! Yay, I am no longer a parliament virgin! A few quick notes about our Malaysian Parliament -

  • The security is super slack in my opinion - We can just drive in by saying "Encik, dalam ada meeting"
  • In one of the buildings, there were no metal detector at the entrance, but metal detector at the exit... So, I suppose that's to prevent me from stealing pens from the parliament?
  • When registering ourselves to get the tags, you just need to say you are here to arrange some conference, and they will award you with the "Khas" (Special) pass, where you will have the access to 70% of the area in the parliament
  • There's free Wi-fi and free food in the parliament
  • It's a smoking free zone with jail-free personnel walking around with cigarette on their hand
Third, our office got blew up by my colleagues... almost killed the server

Fourth, work is increasing with its density, and will needs to be responded in a way faster pace.

Fifth, my evil plan is working fine at the moment.

MUAHAHAHAhahaha..

Evil Plan

Someone I know once said this to me,

"A Goal without a plan is just a wish".


I had many wishes, some had been fulfilled, either through thorough planning or plain impulsive, I managed to manifest some of my wishes, dreams, to reality.

Recently, many of you might heard of, or know about this already; my evil plan to change the world has been undergoing hohoho, for few months.. and it is still running smooth.. hohoho

I am giving myself a deadline for this plan to be manifested, as A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.


STay tune!

Promises

A promise can sometimes be described as a pact, or a conceptual contract that indicates trust in action, exchange or provision between two entities. It could be a pact that render services or gift or devotes something desirable to the person intended.

A promise may also be vow or guarantee of any sorts.

There is always the argument of whether a promise would be vivid and unpractical if it isn't written down or evidenced in any form. Hence, the existence and occurrence of contracts, agreements, guarantor this, guarantor that, that has been reinforced by the legal world.

Well, little may we realized that, 80% (or more, based on my own natural observation :p) of the promises we made or granted weren't documented, and mostly are just verbal confirmation, and even more at times, assumptuous.

We made so many promises everyday, at times, not being able to remember about it all.

Have you ever remember making statements like, "I will come back to you in a minute" "I wont be late" "I will do this for you" "I will remember" "I will"

I will... How many I wills we stated every day? To be honest, I've lost count on my account. And how many of those promises we/I made, have I/we fulfilled? For your record, I believe I am below the borderline which is below 50-60%.

To some people, who possessed real good memories, a simple promise that has not been satisfied, might became the cause of begrudge, devastation, despair, or at times lost of friendship.

So, does that mean our memories at the expense of how much we can remember and recall is our worst enemy in neglecting the promises we made? To certain extend.. it is pretty vital. But it isn't the main cause.

We, are the cause. I've learnt so much through out my short but resourceful working life, where I learnt that even a promise as small and as simple as "I will off the light switch when I leave" reflects the degree of responsibility we treats life.

Recently, I have come to this realization that, those that are most slow in making a promise are the most faithful in the performance of it. They might be slow in coming to a decision, but they at least, they don't make rush promises that otherwise often would be revolved to a.. Blank promise.

Think, just think through about this.

When you think, do not spend too much time in it, just start from the beginning, follow the flow, once u reach a junction, if you can turn, turn, if you can't decide, stop.

Think about it another day.
