Delivering Breakthrough Performance

By the time i'm writing this, i'm patronizing a nice, pack cybercafe near Kotaraya, KL. Today i have my first day training on "Delivering Breakthrough Performance" at UEM Academy, Wisma Pantai. (Yeah, surprise! surprise! it's a motivational training and nothing to do with IT!). The training is conducted by Mr Rosli Ibrahim, Executive Director / Principal Consultant & Master Trainer for People and Performance Consulting. It is two days course so i will be in KL until this Wed morning.

This course hopefully will at least help me to find some gap my reading on motivational books has left. (And 3 days sleeping at cozy room hopefully will help me to rejuvenate :P)


Kasparov Retirement

On 10 March, Kasparov retired from professional chess. He did this when he is still staying top in the World. Is this his mild remark to me to go and replace him? :P Talking about chess, my nice friend just renewed my Gold membership at World Chess Network for another month so i felt obliged to play there again whole-heartedly. (Bro Norulah, by whole-heartedly, i mean to play 1 minute chess as many game as i can hehehehe! :P)

The above link referred. This is a thread from terato, which referring to a blog written by a guy from PJ. In his 10 March entry entitled "congratulations...you moron", he congratulated the girl "for throwing away her childhood for the sake of a few A's" and he later explained why.

Although i agreed that life is not depends on A's you get in those exams, passing exam with flying colours such as this is already a great achievement. This PJ guy should stay at Ulu Tiram first, schooling there before he is entitled to say "but you did it for the wrong reasons and at the cost of sacrificing the simple pleasures of schooling life...pleasures that no amount of success in your future life will ever bring you". And what's wrong with taking additional subjects if she is capable to grab them and even if she wants to be a gynaecologist?

Just hope that she will do well in her future, good at both hard and soft skills and will be able to adapt to what the future throws to her, and quickly realizes that A's in SPM could not promise her an easy life.


Blood Donation

My colleagues and I went to Kip Mart, Jb last Saturday to donate our blood. This occasion was a suggestion from Dilla's and her bf since they both are regular blood donaters (and the last time they did so was last month so they would not be able to do so this time :P). So, Hazri and Dilla's sis and i agreed to donate and we filled the related form and went to several check up.

My blood is an AB type - to my surprise!!, because until that moment, i realllly believe mine was an O type :P. That's not the case. The case was, you know what, after checking the blood type, the Kakak checked my blood pressure and here, i didn't pass. It's too high, she said, and it was owing to my lack of sleep (I'd my sleep at 3 pm the night before) :P Since Dilla's sis also could not donate for some reason, Hazri was the sole guy to represent our group. And, he jokingly said, there is some conspiracy between us :P

Next time bro! I'm dying to donate BTW.

Aan

Aan has started working at TMNET with a relatively good salary :P So, she owes me a dinner from her first one, yay!!

To Update Beggars

Update beggars irritate me. So, I must update. I must update. I must. :P (soon friend :P).

Hmm! :P

I dunno why i wanted to test the feature that enable us to change the subdomain yesterday. So, i did change the current numbed-mind url to http://temp-numbed-mind.blogspot.com and create a new blog and assigned the current url to it. I wrote the first entry with "Guess Game!" as the title, and single-mindedly putting "Guess what happened to old numbed-mind ??" under it. (The new blog was created lest someone would take the url :P)

Walla, the old numbed-mind was hidden virtually!

I didn't expect any comment, but surprisingly when i saw it later, there are two comments. It was easy to guess as to who the commentators are.

Here are what they wrote:

Roll said... 1. you lost your mind and became suicidal.. that's why you're made this new one.. 2. you think lately your life has not been challenging nor interesting, so creating a problem to solve is the thing to do. 3. you can't stand to read those comments made by illiterate people like me. 4. you think polka dot is the "in" thing right now. 5. you haven't had any updates for a few days, and creating a new one takes care of the problem. 6. you've just been reincarnated. 7. you want to prove to people that you can do the most stupidest thing you can think of 8. you hate your old self and want a new you. 9. you're delusional! 10. is this got anything to do with that "brittany" on your tag board? Bee Abdullah said... One thing for sure.. he's CRAZY!!!!

Haha! I'm OK with the comments by the way! I dunno if this can be categorised as a practical joke! :P
