Another self teasing session today...

Another self teasing session today...
I want an easy going and simple life.  If you prefer complicated and miserable life, please enjoy yourself.  I do not like it.  I am not saying that I am good; I am the best or whatsoever, but at least, I complete the tasks given and I admit if I have done it wrong. 
Working attitude is important for each of us who work for living.  May be you are work for living, but please bear in mind that others like me need it.  If you are not happy with your current working environment, there is nothing can be done unless you change yourself; else, the condition will remain.
Like I always say, if you are not happy with everything in work place and you are not keen to move out, there is only one solution that is tendering the resignation.  For your age, may be there is another option, there is early retirement.
I learnt a hard lesson. Before this, I also felt that I was treated unfairly and realized that fair and unfair treatment is nothing to do with, and I know I am not able to change the situation and I have to accept it.  It is better for me to change myself, be more responsible and not to argue, accept only whatsoever assigned to me than complaining, arguing and ignoring.  Since then, I always tease myself that "I am the laziest worker in the office, which is why I do not deserve for any promotion or any recognition of excellence award.  I am not good enough in others eyes.  I need to work hard and perform well instead of sitting there and complaining about the unfair treatment by the office."   Self teasing is an indicator or source of motivation for me.
No matter how, the live is going on.  Why not accept it.
Please do not ruin others live even if you are not able to accept the current working environment.

One Weekend's Afternoon Tea

I like to eat and I eat a lot.  I enjoy eating too.  One day, when I shopped with my younger sister at the hypermarket, I bought some instant roti chapatti and roti prata.  I did not have much ideas on how to make it look delicious and yummy.  At that point of time, I only want to test my newly bought sauce pan.  My first try of those roti as per instruction from the packet and found out nothing much interesting beside eat together with curry chicken, kaya or sweeten milk.  Then, my younger sister said, why not  we out some cheese, potatoes and sausages make it like pizza.  

After she mentioned it, we started to take out those ingredients from freezer and put it on the roti.  See what is the result of her idea?  It is simple and delicious.  I did not add any reasoning on it but stir fried them for a while after the first attempt without stir frying.  

The taste is nice and it is idea for simple afternoon tea with friends and family. 


First attempt without stir fried the ingredients.  Look not so nice.
Second attempt with stir fried ingredient.

Untitle

Reshuffled and attached with new officer since May 2014.  I learn new thing everyday especially handling someone who creates endless troubles and headaches to others.   

 
It was quite sometimes I remain silent and quiet in my office, doing the task that were supposed my tasks and not my tasks too.  I keep on doing the corrective errors that suppose not to be an error(s) from day to day just because of your so call "Seniors" fault.  Yet, you keep on complaining and telling others that I like to give instruction bla bla bla.  I never give any instructions to you as I am not in the post to do so and as far as I know, those instructions were solely given from superior officers directly.  Don't know you think that, there is a limit for patient either me or our superior officers.  If you keep on testing anyone limits, my advice from deep in my heart are:
(1) IF YOU DO NOT LIKE YOUR JOB, PLEASE QUIT THE JOB OR ELSE DO YOU JOB AND KEEP QUIET;
(2) IF YOU STILL WANT TO REMAIN IN YOUR JOB, TALK TO THE PERSON IN CHARGE OR HR AT HQ THAT YOU REQUEST FOR A ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU FEEL IS "FRIENDLY" TO YOU, ELSE, BACK TO THE SQUARE ONE, DO YOU JOB AS PRESCRIBED IN YOUR SO CALL "SENIORS" JOB SCOPE.

However, it is quite fun to have co-workers like the 3 stooges like what described in the following picture.  






Cheers to have a nice day ahead.

Self motivation

Forget about depressed in work for the time being. 
Just bear in mind that need not to argue with stupid people because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
In order to be irreplaceable, one must be outstanding and different than others.
I think I should keep motivating myself and become one of the irreplaceable in my work field.

Something I ate

Clay pot Noodles
It was one heavy rain morning, when I was on the way to work, I felt in need something hot to start my day.  I was not sure what I needed to have beside hot choco drinks.  When I passed by a shop where I almost pass by everyday on the way to my work place, I decided to have a stop and a hot clay pot noodles soup to start my day. 
The clay pot noodle soup did not taste nice.  I had it just because I needed something hot in the cold and raining morning.  For me, the noodle taste like chewing gum and the soup was too concentrate and too salty.   


Sour spicy soup
Century Egg with toufu

This was the sour spicy soup to end a day of busy work.  It was also a heavy raining evening.  At first, I did not think I wish to have anything as my dinner as what I usually not having anything as dinner for the past few week or whenever I feel I do not like to eat, just rest my mind after a day of work.  May be this was because of raining day, I felt in need something hot.  I ordered hot soup, century toufu and plain white rice as my dinner.  I finished all of them and went home.  


Honey Lemon Juice
None stop coughing since last two weeks.  I refused to take any medicine to let it recover fast because whenever I get sick again in short time, it will be very difficult for me to recover fast and need more doses of medicine to cure it.  Yesterday, I decided to have this.  It works, today I am feel much more better.

Clay pot  seafood
Nice to look right?  It is nice to eat too.  I like it pretty much.  May be inside there have a lot of ginger or just because I was too hungry?  I was not sure too... just have it and end of my day after get my hair done yesterday.

A Walk Through Sibu Central Market


I cannot remember when was the last time I visited Sibu Central Market.  May be it was 2 years ago.  Thank you for my beloved Google+ friends organizing a gathering while I am traveling to Kuala Lumpur for official matter.  I am looking for some local and traditional stuffs to share with them.  I manage to get some but not all for them, unfortunately most the stuff I get to share with them are local Chinese made kuih/roti.  I managed to bring part for them and hope them will not mind it.  Sorry for those muslim Google+ friend, but do not be too disappointed.  I managed to get some packets of tabaloi for you too.  

Sibu is my hometown.  I born and raised up here.  It is the third large town in Sibu after Kuching and Miri.  The population in Sibu dominated by Chinese with majority of Foochow as well as Iban, Melanau and Malay.  

The Sibu Central Market is the biggest indoor market in Sarawak and Malaysia.  It is boasting nearly  1,000 hawkers on weekdays and an additional about 500 stalls on weekend. Its sales everything from fresh vegetables, fruits, food to live poultry.  

There is one time, I told one of my friend who was planning coming to Sibu for a visit few years back that if you have not visit the Sibu Central Market as if you not come to Sarawak because the market is  epitome and reflection of meet of culture and races in Sarawak, sharing business under one roof and now it is the best reflection which meets the slogan of 1 Malaysia.




Paper wrapped chicken for sale.
Isn't it a good way to recycle the newspapers and environment clean for the section selling live stock?

I am not know what is this fruit called.  I only know it is an eatable fruit with sweet and sour taste.  The dried up fruit peel can be one of the ingredient for steam fish and giving the sour taste to the fish.

Salted mackerel fish.
Locally called it as ikan tenggiri long.  Some Chinese call it as Mui Hiong. 

This is the best part of the stall selling dried stuff of dried fish, salted fish and even smoked fish and shrimps. 

The Sago Worms on sale.

Do you see there are ducks too?

Very Meaningful and Unforgettable Rushing Week

Finally I can have a short rest after a week rushing here and there then resume working tomorrow and for sure I will face a lot of music tomorrow as I just get off from my office without informing them as I do not know who and whose to contacted with. The week before last week I had continuously diarrhea for about a week and dragged till today. Due to tense and rush from last week where my family and I busy for my late grandmother funeral, then rushed back to Kuching for my sister graduation day arrangement. 
Last Saturday I was having terrible time that I have rushed to see doctor after picked my parents from airport where they came for my sister's graduation ceremony yesterday. With the tired and weak body due to high fever over the night, I drove all the way to Unimas, Kota Samarahan and back to Kuching town after attending my dearest sister graduation ceremony. Sure we brought them to some places for sight seeing and short visiting for my mum's elder sister. 
Today after breakfast at hotel, we rushed to studio, taken some photographs to make the trip prefect. Then my sister has two set of graduation family portrait. She is very happy for her trip and her ceremony because she chooses the bear for graduation herself, she arranged the program to bring our parents for sight seeing and dinner with closest family member. 
I think this is a fruitful trip for my sister and my parents.

Pampering myself

Yesterday my colleague brought me to Sarawak Golf Club to have  a lunch.  I must thank her for bringing me to have such a wonderful lunch yesterday.  Below is the food that I ordered as lunch.  I ordered seafood  pasta .  I did not notice how much the food cost as my colleague told me earlier that the food may cost a bit expensive.  For me, it does not matter for pampering myself with nice and fine food rather than I buy the lottery number to buy an impossible hope right.   The seafood pasta served with fresh prawn, 2 mussels, 3 slices of fish fillets.  The prawns and fish fillet were delicious and fresh.  The mussels... tasteless or may be it is not local product.  Over all the pasta taste nice for me as it is not too salty or too sour.

Something somehow... my arm wrist is in pain

Photo taken in 16th April, 2011.
My arm wrist sprain at left side.






Above photos taken on 19th September, 2011 after a week pain at my right arm wrist... Sprain again.



2nd treatment after 19th September, 2011.  It was taken on 22nd September, 2011.


My arms wrist sprain easily after I am doing the typing job.  Almost whole day sitting in front of the computer or laptop.  The workplace is not specially design for computer or laptop, the consequence of it, is injuries may occur very often.  
If my condition is getting worse, and sprain occur very often, I would like to surrender back the work I am doing right not and request for returning to the original post (the actual terms is kembali kepada hakiki asal). I will do it if happen again.

Yes, I Do!

This is my dedication to Malaysia during 54th National Day.  The original is in Chinese version which had published in The Chinese Methodist Message.
I translate it into English Version to share with.

Malaysia:  Do you love me?
Me: Yes, I do.
Malaysia:  What are you going to do with for my birthday?
Me:  I do not know. I cannot organize a celebration for you, anyway, there will be an annual celebration for you held by government agencies.  It does not matter if I am not do so.
Malaysia:  Why you say so?
Me:  Isn't it correct?  Every year government agencies spent much thought to held your birthday celebration to be celebrated together with public, and yet you are not satisfy.
Malaysia:  Errmmm...
Me:  Errmmm... what?
Malaysia:  In fact, I want it very simple, that is to love me more each day.
Me:   As I told you, I love you so much.  I am glad to be born and raised in Malaysia, a multi-racial country, a country without four seasons, only rainy and sunny day all over the year, a country without natural disaster.  Every year during your birthday, I will pray silently that hoping that all ethnics in Malaysia have mutual understanding, tolerance, learn protect and guard you.
Malaysia:  I see.  Thank you for your love.

What is your wish and dedication to Malaysia during its 54th birthday?
