Ego of a Man

Malik called me around 7pm and said "Ayah, can you buy me chocolate milk 'coz we don't have it here". I almost wanted to say to him that he could've asked the aunties to buy for him. Instead, as a good father (ehem) i said, "I will come and see you tomorrow and get you the chocolate milk as well".

He hanged up and then i realized, he didn't call me because he wanted the chocolate milk, but because he missed me! Chocolate milk was just an excuse to call me and meeting me tomorrow.

It seems that my son has started to show the sign of an ego as a man. A so much needed ego in every man ;-).

A man will not normally tell a friend if he misses a friend especially a female friend. Sentences like "Jom lepak kat mamak for ..." and "Are you free for makan sedap?" are somehow rather how a man expresses his true feeling. Why is it so difficult for a man to express his feeling? One main reason is the awkwardness of knowing the other friend doesn't feel the same. Man obviously doesn't want to feel "syok sendiri". Even if the person is just a friend.

But what's wrong with "Hey i miss u, are you free for makan sedap?". It would be wrong because the (female) friend might think that the man somewhat is working on the next step i.e. special relationship or sort of. Clearly that's not always the case. Remember woman has this tendency of thinking every man in this world is chasing on to her? And  man somehow has tendency to think that every nice woman around him will think that she is into him?

Nevertheless, my ego has been ruined because i watched Gossip Girl and now 90210!! To my defense, i only have 8TV or ntv7 with clear reception. So don't blame me! :)

Renung2kan dan selamat beramal.

Time to Change

It is sickening everytime when i think about how i am being underpaid by my employer. the fact that there are less than 3 companies in Malaysia that can do what we can do today. still, we are paid just like any other IT company. heck! we are working with radar systems, electronic warfare and such. the cost of each of the equipment is mindboggling but the company treat us as if we are installing desktop computers and servers. It is not just about the amount of work that we give, but it is more about the expertise, knowledge and experience we have. this 3 elements can be easily exported to the competitor (by the means of hiring us with tripple pay!). Our bosses just dont realise this, until one day we would say "au revoir!" and they would say something like "oh, we just eat our own shit! the competitor can do what we always do!". just wait and see ... the pictures below say everything. ordinary company just don't do this. .n.g.

Market Penetration

Suddenly, my blog hits have reached to a staggering average number of .. yes .. 5 unique visitors per day. Well, it is such a huge success for me as this is an increase of 70% from the previous average of 3 unique visitors per day. If i were in a corporate world, 70% increase means promotion to Senior Vice President .. While i am celebrating this huge phenomenon success on my side (no i cant celebrate the N9 winning feat of Piala Malaysia), i keep pondering on how i can successfully promote my blog. Definitely readers are looking for something new, and sensational. I am not 'cute' or handsome, and definitely a turn off to female readers .. ha ha. The last time i had readers from Australia, and this last 2 days, i have a reader from NYC!! Look at my visitors' map. *so proud* .n.g.

Is there a Theory of Everything? by Dr Michio Kaku

Image
i came across this article from Dr Michio Kaku, a reknown physicist. i've read a lot of journals, watched so many Discovery Channels and National Geographics programmes on the Theory of Everything, yet i still have not come across a good article to explain it all from A to Z. even wikipedia is not so convincing this time (wikipedia has been my favourite on other topics). i hope this blog eventually can shed some lights on this theory as i gather more articles and journals. for a start, let's read this article from Dr Michio Kaku. Dr. Michio Kaku, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, is the author of VISIONS: HOW SCIENCE WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE 21ST CENTURY and the best-seller HYPERSPACE. [begin of article] When I was a child, I used to visit the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco. I would spend hours fascinated by the carp, who lived in a very shallow pond just inches beneath the lily pads, just beneath my fingers, totally o blivious to t
