Thanks but No Thanks...

This afternoon I read a bulletin from my office "white board" (all announcements are pinned there for staff to read)... and I had a good laugh when I finished reading them. Let me write some of the points here... (they were written in malay language, I will try my best to translate)

"To achieve an efficiency award, all the staff must abide by the following rules...

Staff must always put on a smiling and pleasant face..... especially when their superiors hand down some extra work.

Staff must accept the work pleasantly and without grumbling eventhough the work is not written in their duties' lists.

Staff must not chit chat here and there, disturbing others.

Staff must not play games "online" in the office.

Staff must not go out for breakfast after 8am."

What I found amusing was.... I WILL NEVER EVER get the efficiency award ....

Firstly, I do not smile when extra work is handed down, I am serious, man.....
Secondly, I do chit chat with my colleagues when I m too darn tired and bored......
Thirdly, I do not play online games but I do onlining websites instead.. (same ke)
Fourthly, I cannot survive without having breakfast.... I MUST HAVE... and it is always after 8am....

So... efficiency award for me?? NO WAY.... BUT... please let me enjoy my life in the office... MY WAY, OK???

    Wow! Your second payment coming soon. I will be happy to help each other out :) but not too often to avoid been banned. Just watch out for my "code name" in your cbox.

    The toys I highlighted in my site are no longer available and considered antique. Most of them fetch a high price in e-bay and etc. But all my collections are not for sale. It is my "heritage".

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m
