Once and for all !!!!!!!

Ever since the other day, someone told me about the principles of Tao, I am trying to forgive those who had crossed me. But sometimes its easier said than done. Especially when they keep coming back with more troubles and problems. Its never ending. I wanna forget and move on with my life (apparently they dun have one). I dunno whether the person that I am referring to reads my blog or not. If you are reading this and wondering whether I am talking about you, probably I am talking about you. You can say anything you want about me. As long as I know that my conscience is clear, I cant be bothered. (as I keep telling myself that I should not be bothered about them) But they are relentless. Say that I have attitude problem towards you. Did you ever wonder why? What about the way that you treated me? Good ho? The way you talked to me, the way you talked behind my back, calling me whatever names. Sorry ho! I am not someone who is two faced. (unlike someone) When I dun like someone, I just w...

Wonderings

Sometimes I wonder....... How come there are such people in this world? But then again, there are all sorts of people in this world. So its not that big a surprise. Actually, they can say whatever they want. Mouth is theirs. We all have to answer to a higher power in the future. I don't dare to say that I am right all the time. I may have done things that I wished that I did not and said things that I should not have. But there is one thing that I can be very certain of. I never have any bad intentions in my mind. I will not take anything that I did not earn. So that is why I hate is when people says that I ask money from my bf or that I wanna cheat anyone of their money. I also do not like it when people says that whatever I have is due to other people's credit. I have worked my ass off (EMPHASIZING) for whatever I have today. I did not get where I am by being a 2 head snake. I work harder and longer than others. I put in real effort and that is why the things that I bought wi...

Tao

A lot of things happened lately. Its just one things after another. It gets tiring and its hard to remain in an upbeat manner. But just now, one of my colleague was talking to me about her religion 'tao'. A lot of the things that she told me are very logical and I agree with her. As human beings, we have the tendency to be greedy, selfish, gossip about other people, to name a few. The things that she said, reminded me of what Cikgu Mansor had always preached to us during the intensive classes. We all should be grateful. Grateful to be born in Brunei where compare to our neighbouring countries, we have relatively less crime. For me, the one thing that differentiate us from animals is guilt. Without guilt, then we wont be human anymore. We have to learn how to be more humble, more forgiving and most important of all, more humane.

LIARS!

I am feeling so 'tulan'. How can someone who is not a mechanic, who is only in the towing car section, know the condition of my S15? Wanna lie to others saying that he is the one who is in charge of fixing the car. CBK! Argh!!!!

Still undecided

Someone called me up. Have no idea where he got my number from. But he asked me the magic question. "Hey Jennifer, heard that you are looking for sports car" Cool. I enquired him about the JDM Civic Type R. Contrary to what someone told me, its not 80k, its only about 50+ plus. Yay! Cheap sports car! 4 door, fast engine, brembo brakes, sport seat. And.....and best of all, its all in white (championship white to be exact). Absolutely my favourite colour. However, he also has the Evo 10, GSR auto transmission 6 speed. OMG......how to choose?

Choice

Maybe leaning towards Evo x right now. But then again, its not very confirmed. Anything can happen over night. hahaha (who knows I kena magnum, then got money buy R35?)

Horror stories

You know how there are lots of horror stories flying around the office, school or even homes. The place where I am working are kinda well known for its 'extra' employees. I guess that in the morning when my office are full of people, its less scary. Its actually quite warm (the environment and not the temperature) There are currently 4 different lifts in my work place. One at the back, which is mostly used by people delivering heavy equipments. Then there are 2 lifts on the left. Most staff would use these 2 lifts as it tends to be faster. As for the last left, its on the right. There are dedicated users of this right lift. Me being one of them as the 2 lifts on the left are very congested most of the time. So I noticed that 9 out of 10 times when I am using the right lift, it will definitely stop on the 3rd floor and again 9 out of 10 times, there wont be anyone there. Scary right? Some said its those 'extra's. (goose pimples!) But there are times when I still prefer t...

A little update

I have been so busy for the last week. Worked over the weekend for the DST Carnival. The queue was so LONG!!!!! Its as if the Acer was for free le. And some customers are kinda impossible. I really pity those people working at the front line all the time. Then ho, there are some customers who are downright rude. Sigh! What to do, customers are still customers, have to plaster a fake smile and smile at them through clenched teeth. Hahaha! Anyway, I was on the Weekend Borneo Bulletin. The quality wasn't that good, but early early on Sat morning (while I was still alseep some more) there was someone who sms me to tell me that he thinks that he saw me in the newspaper. Haha, Jason (if you are reading this) , its really me la! (so sorry was very busy till I had forgotten to reply you, was still sleeping ba) My feet is still killing me today. Its like I have been standing for 3 days straight. The people who rushed are unbelieavable!!!! But all in all, I had fun with my colleagues. Workin...

Randomness

I suddenly thought of something just now. Its something from my memories. Its just a memory but it shows that we all have come a long way and my my my, did we all change. I recalled that me and one of my good childhood friend followed my mom to a new opening of a boutique in KB. I saw a really pretty necklace and thought that the price is B$ 6.90 and remembered that I thought that it was a reasonable price. But the actual price was B$ 16.90. Back then B$16.90 seems a lot of money and I actually felt guilty that my mom actually bought it for me. How times have change. I also recall that back in my first year in uni, Bi was the only who had a car albeit the car was a bit old but it is a car nonetheless. His car was a really old Honda. It only has a radio which is kinda sucky as most of the time it can only receive static (we used to joke that it can receive a station call static channel) Not only that, the air conditioning is more like hot con rather than air con coz it blows hot air. ha...

Saleslady?

Do I look like a sales lady? I work in the Revenue Assurance Dept in DST. I am not selling anything. Yesterday, a 'friend' called me up and asked me whether I help her buy the cheap cheap laptops. I said that I'll try. I said that I can try and help her coz she mentioned that after work she has some sort of function and thus wont be able to come and purchase the laptops. But things got so hectic. The queue was almost to the front door. I was so, so busy. So I sms and told her that I could not purchase those laptops for her. Then after that my colleague told me that someone called my mobile (I left my mobile at their booth as I was running around helping others). My colleague told me that the person was scolding her and asking her to promise that the laptops will still be available when she arrive. What the? Common la, we are just working there. And ho, and ho, you know what? She wasn't busy at all. Actually she could have drop by after work. How I know? Coz when I retur...

New Hotmail

Has anyone tried to use hotmail on Firefox? Doesn't seems to be working properly. There are no scroll bars!!!! But there is no problem when i am using IE. How can anyone launch anything without first checking whether it works o not? Hai!!!!

Qualifications

Sometimes I really think that qualifications is secondary to work attitude, knowledge and experience. If I am a boss and wanna hire people, the most important factor that I am looking for is work attitude. Anything can be taught and learnt. But working attitude, that is something that is ingrained. Something like a leopard cannot change its spots. As long as one is willing to learn, then I won't have a problem with it. Some people, as far as I know, are show offs. They like to say whatever qualifications they possess. Either a degree, master, professional bodies, phd, etc. I know that its not easy to obtain that qualification. I totally understand the efforts that one has to put in. The thing is that if one claimed that they have such qualifications (or that they really do have such qualifications) but somehow, the knowledge that they should have doesn't show up. Why is that? Like for instance, (I'll give accounting examples since I am from Acct & Finance background), c...

Accidents

I was 8 mins late for work this morning. Due to the accident on the Tungku Link highway. When I passed by, I saw the police taking down statements from the people involved. I can't help but thought of what happened during THE accident. On my way from Bandar on Sunday night, we saw at least 2 accidents. Maybe its the rainy season. We all must be careful when driving.

Mixed feelings

Some people are too free. Too much time on hand! They should be more constructive with their lives. Oh well, its their lives and I am not getting involved with that. Too much hassle. Anyway, I was feeling much better today and then suddenly, dunno who so beng song me, wanna make me all upset again. Sigh! Aiyah, just think happy thoughts. Happy thoughts Happy thoughts Happy thoughts One of these days, I'll feel ready to talk about what happened in detail. One of these days, I'll talk about it without wincing. One of these days....... I'm going off to dreamland to find my happiness.
