Plain 'Technofied' - A New Wave...

>1 April 2011 - 10.28 pm

Starting today, me and my colleagues have a new toy to play with each morning and evening. It's a new gadget for recording the time we come to work and the time we left the office. I remember since the first day I worked here, we've been using punch card machines to record our attendance. In case you don't know what a punch card machine is, this is a picture of it.


The idea is to use that white thingy to print the time at the yellow card, so that they can detect the times we get in and out. It's not that hi-tech, but it's dependable and easy to use.

Plain Grassy - Floral touch...

A few weeks ago, our office received a package that consists 3 plants. And starting from that moment, deep in our hearts we knew that we have a new commitment to share between our staffs; that is to water those plants everyday.

Now after a few weeks, I took a glimpse at those poor plants.. And these are how they look like this afternoon...


The first plant. I don't even know it's name, and from the color of it's leaves, I know that it's dying for the lack of water...


The second plant. I still don't know the name of the plant, and it suffers the same fate as the first plant. The flowers look like they're at the end of spring break.

Plain Malaysian - May I Help You?

1 April 2011 - 3.25 pm

I'm currently working in an office where we have a PAP (Pembantu Am Pejabat - Office General Helper) who acts as our receptionist too. She sits behind the counter, entertaining visitors. I'm not writing this to question her job because she is doing a pretty good job (despite her moody behavior and her passion in mumbling stuffs), but I want to express my thoughts about those people at the other end of the line, the VISITORS.

We have lots of visitors (hardly), ranging from our own students to unknown people who try to suck the money out from our accounts. They come, they do whatever they wanna do, they leave. Sounds easy, isn't it? Well, it is, as long as they follow these steps :

1. They enter the main door
2. They go to the counter, where we have the lovely lady (our receptionist) waiting
3. They tell the receptionist what they want; whether to drop something for the lecturer or to meet someone or whatever
4. The receptionist will then take them to see the person they wanna meet, or ask them to drop their things in the pigeon hole
5. They say thanks (rarely), and leave
6. We live happily ever after

Plain 'Blergh' - Common Sense...

31 Mac 2011 - 9.53 pm

Apa yang korg faham tentang 'common sense'? Menurut wikipedia, common sense ialah :

"common sense as beliefs or propositions that most people consider prudent and of sound judgment, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people "in common"."

"According to Cambridge Dictionary, the phrase is good sense and sound judgment in practical matters ("the basic level of practical knowledge and judgment that we all need to help us live in a reasonable and safe way")."

Secara ringkasnya, common sense leh jugak kita takrifkan sebagai pengetahuan umum, atau kesedaran umum yang sepatutnya ada dalam diri setiap orang untuk memastikan kesejahteraan hidup kita dan orang di sekeliling kita.. Contoh2 common sense seperti :

- kesedaran untuk makan
- kesedaran untuk membalas budi
- kesedaran untuk mengucapkan terima kasih
- kesedaran untuk bayar sewa rumah
