Back in town.. just for a short stay

Here, again, we are.
Small island with many things to "wow" for burmese.

Good to be, should I say, "home?", again.

Great to meet my old folks again, that's for sure...

Seeing my 'little she' having fun walking safe and clean everywhere, we feel good.

Have a lot of things to catch up for the past six months but I will save it for better time to say and show.

In short, we are doing just fine and "I WILL BE BACK" .....sooner or later....

Little She's visit to daddy's office

Before daddy's farewell

A letter

A letter.....
that approved my decision to change my career.
that shows me that I can officially stop doing what I am doing now and for the past 5 years.
that says when is the last day to leave all these things behind.
that I requested and decided for.

To be frank, yes, I am sad.

For what and to what extent, I do not know though.

Thanks but no

"Wow!" Mr. Z exclaimed.
They do know that he is doing something good.

Mr. GM called him and asked him is there anything that he could do to make him stay. Smarty Mr. GM even offered him some flexibility for him to consider coming back.
Later Mr. RM spoke to him and offered him again to make him stay.

Well, that's really too much. Too much of recognition, kindness, caring and smartness.

But Mr. GM also mentioned that his decision might not be that bad after all. "Taking over family business and working for yourself don’t sound bad at all", he added.

This surely motivated Mr. Z because now he knows his effort has been recognized, by somehow, by somebody.
But his answer to them was,

"Thank you so much but I have to say no"

People learning

Apart learning from our teachers (in or outside of the classrooms), we learn from pioneers or each other (and thanks to pioneers or each other for that).
Some learn from experience.
Some learn from mistakes.
Some people remarkably learn by asking bounteous questions.
Some learn secretly.

It is ok. As you may have already known, I am not a keeper (my weakness?).
You do this today, and next day, he is doing it.
He saw you had this thing for good, next day you will see he is getting it.
Funniest of all, he is pretending like you have nothing to do with those acts.

Angry? Nope
Funny? Yap
Anything to say? Enjoy being my follower, fellow!

Z, the millionaire!

I am not really into gambling.
But sometimes, I do gambling, just to have some trill and fun. During my Singaporehood life, I usually play ‘The Singapore Sweep’.

The first price is S$2,200,000 and no sharing. Pretty good, huh?

Draw date is somewhat unique, every first Wednesday of the month. It means to say that next drawing will be on 3rd June (first Wednesday of the month June).

What a coincidence, again! That’s my last day working in my current company, and that’s the day that I’m going to be a millionaire (I bought two tickets).
Inshallah…..

Roger Federer won!

Oh yeah, he won. His first master title for 2009.

Sweet victory because he beat Nadal in the final, you know what I mean...

Or shall we call it "pregnancy luck?"

My time

I used to be the one, who organized for farewell gifts, gathering lunch and dinner.

Of course, I felt sad when good people left us. But I did not anticipate that my time would come soon.

Well, now people are doing those memorable things to me.

I was invited for the first farewell lunch (my favourite Japanese food) and received first farewell gift today (not opened yet!).

So blessed. So thankful. I will miss you all. That’s for sure. But you all should be happy for me because I’m leaving for good, to take my responsibility as an only son.

God bless you all and cheers!

Where is the principle of reflection??!!

I thought it was a sharing environment.
But I realized that it wasn’t.

My own wife blamed me on my passion to share my knowledge absolutely.
That’s not because she was a keeper but because she couldn’t take anymore of people taking advantage on me.

Are you gonna praise me by calling me humble?

Then let me share you one more thing.

According to my experience, it is not really good (worth) to be humble everywhere, especially, when you are telling people everything of you and they are not in return.

I am a deep believer on reflection in human being. Now it seems like I need to think twice.

Buffet dinner at Orchard Road, Singapore

Had a Buffet dinner at Royal Plaza on Scotts.
Smallest sashimi cut and inappropriate service crew, but varieties of seafoods and multinational kitchens (not much to choose for though).

My suggestion: Go there only if you were invited. Otherwise, just cross the road and there you can have better at Hyatt Hotel.

World is sick, again!

Swine Flu or H1N1 virus

Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region (Figure 4). While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.
Widespread human infection
