The biggest motivation is salary

The unluckiest thing is promotion without salary adjustment

The most “shiok” thing is you don’t work anyhow also get pay increment

The greatest talent is “carry big stuff”

The greatest mistake is to argue with your boss

The most demoralising thing is to receive salary late

The most pitiful thing is you did not get your salary and your boss ran away

The most happiest thing is you become your boss’ boss

The most cleverest thing is you are late but boss doesn’t know

The stupidest thing is you publicly say that you are lazy

The most common thing is boss says something but means another

The most proudest thing is you sack your boss

The most “rugi” thing is you work hard but your colleague takes the credit

The most dangerous thing is to become a “two-headed” snake

The biggest satisfaction - posting something like this during office hours!! heheheheheheheh….

Note: The blogger himself does not applies this to his work. He is indeed a very on time person and hardworking person. This article is not posted during office hours. !!!

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION

Q: I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

—————————————

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to! your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

—————————————

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

—————————————

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

—————————————

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!

—————————————

Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! … Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

—————————————

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

—————————————

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!

—————————————

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

—————————————

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!

—————————————

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO, What a Ride”

LOL. Just a joke okay…. Don’t you after reading this go eat all you can. hahah I tak guarantee. :p

At last something to laugh at to share with you all again. While browsing through the pictures from Pangkor Island, I found this picture which I purposely took to show to you all.

See anything weird there?

Look at the depth of the swimming pool.

Children’s pool: 1 foot to 6 inch. Adult Swimming Pool: 4 feet to 6 inch.

Well, for them, they might mean something else like the deep is 1 foot 6 inch. But the dash already make the meaning different.

That’s all? One more.

The word: Sila berpakaian kolam renang

What if you translate it into English? It will be: Please wear swimming pool.

:p
