Deadlock In Life?

Note: This article was taken from my email, I found it quite interesting and just want to share with you all.

**********************************************

Boss says to secretary: 'We will go abroad on business for a week, so please make arrangement.'

Secretary makes call to Husband: 'For a week my boss and I will be going abroad, you look after yourself.'

Husband makes call to secret lover: 'My wife is going abroad for a week, so let's spend the week together. '

Secret lover makes call to a small boy whom she is giving private tuition: 'I am not free for a week, so you need not come for tuition. '

Small boy makes call to his grandfather: 'Grandpa, I don't have tuition for a week because my teacher is busy. Let's spend the week together. '

Grandpa(the 1st boss) makes call to his secretary: 'Now I am going to spend time with my grandson, so please postpone that overseas meeting.'

Secretary makes call to her husband: 'My boss has just cancelled our trip.'

Husband makes call to secret lover: 'We cannot spend this week together, my wife has cancelled her trip.'

Secret lover makes call to the small boy: 'This week we will have tuition as usual.'

Small boy makes call to his grandfather: 'Grandpa, my teacher said this week I have to attend class. Sorry I can't accompany you.'

Grandpa makes call to his secretary: 'Don't worry, this week we will attend that overseas meeting, so please make arrangement.'

This is called deadlock in life.

So... I think this could be happened in this world, do you agree?

NO!!! You Do It!!!

Dogs always is our best friend, I do believe dogs has human being. Anyway, some dogs are very fierce, if a dog is well-trained it will be different, they can help us in such many ways.

For a detective dog, it helps cops or soldiers to find suspects or victims when it needs. Normally cops need some guides from a detective dog to find a suspect based on any evidences left at the scene.

Here I found a detective dog which is smart enough to react to an evidence left at the crime scene...

It's Time To Ask Salary Raise

Note: This joke was taken from my email, I was having a great laugh when I read about it, so here I just want to share with you all.

**************************************************

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise:

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

I do physical labour.

I work at great depths.

I plunge headfirst into everything I do.

I do not get weekends or public holidays off.

I work in a damp environment.

I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.

I work in high temperatures.

My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely,

P. Niss

********************************************

The Response:

Dear P. Niss,

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised,

The administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

You do not work 8 hours straight.

You fall asleep after brief work periods.

You do not always follow the orders of the management team.

You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.

You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.

You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.

You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.

You will retire well before you are 65.

You are unable to work double shifts.

You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed your assigned task.

And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely,

V. Gina

*******************************************

So guys, we have to work hard as usual, we really have a hard time all the time. Anyway, my 'little bro' is not eligible to ask anything more because my 'little bro' still haven't start his 1st job till now...

WAKAKAKAKAKA!!!

All About Red

This weekend seems like everything goes to RED, it's not about the 'red packet' (Ang Pow) that we get during Chinese New Year. Actually I like red colour very much...

Half Good RED:

First of all, Ferrari dominated again at Istanbul Park circuit in Turkey today. Felipe Massa from Ferrari won the race for the third time at this circuit. Meanwhile my favorite Kimi Raikkonen was in 3rd place after struggled with his Ferrari for the whole weekend. However Lewis Hamilton from Mclaren (half red) showed his pace again at 2nd place.

Very Good RED:

After few hours later, it was my all time favorite for more than 20 years football team 'Manchester United' (Red Devil) clinched the 2007/2008 season Premier League Champion. Too bad here don't have 'free' channel to watch the match live, I just manage to see result via online. Anyway, I'm glad that Man Utd has won the title again by 2 points ahead Chelsea who only manage to draw at the final matches of the season.

Very Bad RED:

Then... something bad about RED for me, I had nose bleeding quite badly yesterday, today I did not went to work as my neck and head was pain. Today my nose bleeding is getting better but I still feel dizzy after all. This is my first time after so many years in working to take a day off due to sickness. I really not able to work today, the weather here is getting very hot now days (44 degree C yesterday) and I suspected I went in and out my office to construction site very often and it affected my sickness.

I'm alright now, I hope I'm able to work tomorrow, I shouldn't in and out my office too sudden and too often, the temperature in my office and construction site is too much different now. From now I have to admit I'm not Superman la... Hope I don't see my RED anymore... Eh eh... I'm not on period ha...!

Really RED Ah!!!

Something To Clarify

Note: This post is to clarify some facts from my previous post...

Many of you thought that I working in Dubai is under contract for 2 years, actually I'm not under contract, I'm permanent staffs which seconded from HQ (Malaysia) to Dubai (UAE) branch. The company will not send me back if they are getting more projects here.

I join this company because one of the head is my friend wanted me to join the company, he was the person who helped me a lot since I started living in KL, I owe him a lot and if I leave he'll disappointed of me. He is putting lots of hope on me to help him and the company. I've told him my problems here and he'd tried his best to help me out of it, too bad he can't do much with it, it's out of his control anyway.

I'm not a person simply change jobs, I always try my best stay loyal to my work as well to company. I started my career with a consultant firm, I left the company to join government because I was doing my part time studying, so I got more time to further my study. Then there were so much politic issues in government sectors and at the same time my friend (as mentioned above) was persuading me to join the company that I'm working with now.

Just like what you all commented, look at the bright side, try to be happy, I've tried it since the first day I work in Dubai, and every human got their own limit. Now I just worry how much left my limits. If I don't need to carry my family's burdens, I'll don't care about it, but now what I can do is just carry on until to my limits. Let's see what will going to happen on me in future.

Life's Like Rock n Roll...

Working Life in UAE

I guess everyone is admiring people like me got chance to work in Dubai or anywhere in middle east, here I wanted to highlight many things that I'm NOT so enjoy to work in middle east.

Don't just mention about salary, of course it will be higher than what we got in Malaysia, but at my side I'm not earning as much as you all thought. Many were asking me am I earning more than RM 20K per month? Here I'm telling you all the truth, I'm earning LESS than RM 10K as per market rate. I've checked from many sources that my position in current market rate is at least RM 15K per month, so... I'm not in a good position as you all think about.

Posing with project's poster

Working with those middle east people also another problem, I don't want to emphasizing more about it, all I can say is harder than as I can imagine. What I can do now is just be patience, anyway, it also depend my limit, I may give up in the half way. Imagine we are doing a mega project worth RM 4.6 billion, but yet they can't provide us a basic facilities accordingly such as internet access, transportation, printers, photocopy machine and etc... furthermore the company want us to contribute more output, come on... you can't even willing to provide us a proper working tools how do we contribute it?

View of my construction site

I really sacrifice my good life from Malaysia to Dubai, actually I wasn't volunteer to come but my working company is kinda forcing me to work here, I got no more choices so gave myself a chance to start a new life, who knows it ended up so bad and it really de-motivate me. I can't have my freedom as I had in Malaysia which I wanted to go anywhere, anytime as I like, now my royalty is like getting from less to zero to work here, what I got before no longer with me anymore, too many higher level staffs are coming in and me just a 'slave' will get nothing in the end.

Talking about 'slave', I can really feel we are a slave in this region, here doesn't have 'Labours' Day' holiday, what I felt now I'm not a worker here, I'm just a slave which worst than a labour. I can't comment about it since I'm working in other country, it's not under my control anyway. My life here only work, eat, then sleep and it repeats everyday. Most of the time I really forget what day I'm in, now I really don't know today is what day...

Massive construction

I really miss my old days in Malaysia, I can hangout with friends anytime, now I just facing with my colleagues everyday, everyone has their own directions and I really feel so lonely all the time. Friends for me is very important, now I really lost touch with all my friends in Malaysia, sometimes I really think is that worth to have this kind of life?

Now at least we found an activities during weekend eve (Thursday), finally we found badminton courts in Dubai, we're playing it everyday Thursday evening after work to release loads of tensions. Anyway, it's not enough for me, the golf courses here also very expensive for me to practice in driving range. I really pissed with it and I'm going to die with bored.

Badminton session, I was doing jumping smash to release my tensions, can see how tension am I

After deep thought, I really got no road to turn back, the rules here is very strict, I can't simply just resign and come back, company already set the rules which I have to pay back the visa fees and the worst part is they'll never give me the NOC, I'll be black listed in UAE for certain period. This situation really put myself like a slave in this reality world. I think I'll never have my life back for a long long time, my dream to build my own family will be gone if I really stuck here forever.

I can't denied that men will put their career at first, I'm one of them, but now with my situation, I really don't know should I put it first? I really entered into wrong field, construction field is not an ideal field as before anymore, you have to sacrifice more than you contributed to earn back what you wanted to, I'm in this field almost 10 years and I still never see any brighter future in it. What's wrong with my working life? Why I lost my passion with my work recently? I really can't find my answer.

What A Working Life!!!
