The weather nowadays is warm like hell. Its so freaking hot in my room and everywhere anyway. I'm find myself seems to be sweating all the time. -_-"
I hope the heat will go away soon. Its so hot, I don't actually have the mood to do much cause I feel exhausted. Urgh....
I just hope my temper don't flare with the rising temperature. ^_^
Dr. M was thinking about sending a Malaysian into space.
Three potential can-a-nauts were called for an interview - one Indian, one Malay and one Chinese.
Dr. M interviews the Indian first: "So, Muthu, this is a dangerous mission. How much do you think you should be paid?
" Muthu replied: "One million ringgit."
"Why so much?" asks Dr. M.
"Very dangerous mission, Datuk. Maybe I no come back!" replied Muthu.
"That's understandable," says Dr. M. "Thank you...
Please ask the Malay guy to come here."
So the Malay walks up, and is asked the same question.
Alamak, 2 million ringgit only lah Datuk," replied the Malay candidate.
"Two million? That's twice as much! Even that Anneh (Bro in tamil) before you asked for only one million."
"You see, Datuk," explains Mat. "I have 4 wives and 15 children ...
With so many of us, it is a big family to leave behind when I am gone..!"
"I see," says Dr. M. "Okay, can you ask that Chinese guy to come then?"
The Chinese guy comes in and Dr. M asks, "Ah Chong, as you heard, This is a very risky mission, how much do you want?"
Ah Chong smiles for a while, and says, "3 million linggit only loh Latuk."
M appears shocked. "What??? 3 million! Why so much?"
Ah Chong beckons Dr. M to come closer, where-upon he quietly whispers into his ear, "Latuk, one million you keep, one million I keep, and then one more million to send that Anneh into space!"

NOTE: ARTICLE COURTESY OF MY COLLEAGUE. ^_^
Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam : 'A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failure'
India Knowledge@Wharton: Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure?
Kalam: Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people worked together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal.
By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything worked fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal. It was a big failure.
That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan, had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India]. Prof. Dhawan, the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had worked very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization.
The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today."
I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.

When Dr. Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia
One lousy day in the middle of the economic crisis, PM Mahathir was feeling extremely frustrated and wondering how a neighboring country can be doing better than Malaysia. One of his aides said, I heard that the leaders consult Feng Shui masters to ensure prosperity for the country. Dr Mahathir thought if that was the case, Malaysia Bomoh also can, and went to seek the top bomoh's advice in the country.
After reviewing the case, the bomoh told Dr M that there were 2 things that he must do :
Bomoh : Step 1. You must blame the crisis on SOROS for everything.
Dr M : But Why ?
Bomoh: Because SOROS stands for 'Speculate On
Ringgit Or Stocks'. You must blame him, and look at ways to control the ringgit and stock market.
Bomoh : Step 2 - You must get rid of ANWAR.
Dr M: What! why him ?
Bomoh: Because ANWAR stands for 'A Nation Without Any Ringgit'.
Dr M: But how ? This is most difficult to do, he is popular with the people.
Bomoh : Aiyoh, you bodoh lah! Look at your name, MAHATHIR. Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It Repeatedly.

Shell IT is outsourcing all their IT Staffs out and I happened to be impacted. Check out the deal, its worth 4B USD. Damn....
I'm going to EDS and know what, actually many of us DREAD going to EDS. We've heard of too many bad things about EDS, just to list a few.....
Oh dear, and we're suppose to know our package this month. They promised engineering a higher package. But in reality, outsourcing is meant for Shell to cut cost and for EDS to earn money, so where is your pay increment going to come from? Barh, at this point, its worthless to whine. We'll just have to wait for the package to know whats in it for us... But guess what? I'm contemplating a move back to Singapore to do IT Consultancy work. I'm still young, time for me to learn some new skills and move towards a brighter prospect. I hope someone in Singapore gives me a chance to prove myself!
Good luck to myself in my next career advancement!
