  • Bad Guy On The Block

    Sometimes, somehow, i label my self as a bad guy. Dunno why, but there are reasons. The last thing I remember, I judge a person by his/her name. Sad but true.

    I shortlisted hundreds of applicants for my office’s jobs by filtering their names, and then by their pictures, and then by their experience. :(( My girl said it was not the correct way to do it, but still I did it that way. Five hundred applicants for 1 or 2 posts, it’s not a good proportion and certainly not an easy work.

    And then, took me the night to realize how awful it was.
    A mother tried her best to give a nice pretty name for their daughter and son, but bammmm 20 years later a bad guy on the block says the name is not good enough. Seal the envelope and send to the message her daughter or son.

    Damn. Bad guy on the block is apologizing to all the ‘so-called’ ugly names.

    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • On The “Move”

    Yes, i am moving to day. Just like the title of this blog ‘People On The Move’, i certainly move my ass after whole nine years.

    But, will not totally move at this moment. Yeah, can say, half move half stay. Probably will completely move by the end of Aug. Wish me luck!

    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • Bright Side of Life

    Some things in life are bad,
    They can really make you mad
    Other things just make you swear and curse
    When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
    Don’t grumble, give a whistle
    And this’ll help things turn out for the best
    And…

    …always look on the bright side of life

    Really really love this track (Python Monty – Always Look on the Bright Side of Life)! I met many stressful friends, relatives, or colleagues. Everyday is a bad day. Not only Monday, she/he hates all days of the week.

    I happened to listen to this song (learn more about this song), and gosh,… i believe you all will feel better after listen to it. Yeah, maybe not instantly feels good (or smile), but at least, better! Trust me!

    You’ll see it’s all a show,
    Keep ’em laughing as you go.
    Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

    Try the whistling part, yes you can do it. Nod your head once or twice. Always look on the bright side of life! Always!

    Life’s one, live it!

    Don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
    But I know where I want to go

  • Happy Countries

    There’s a song, i once heard (long time ago),

    When skies are gray and you say you are blue,
    I’ll send the sun smiling through,
    I want to be happy,
    but I won’t be happy till I make you happy, too

    No, not saying I am not happy. In fact, i am. I am very very happy with my life.But, how happy do you want to be? How happy are you? Do you think you live in a happy country?

    A recent “research” from BusinessWeek, “World’s Happiest Countries” might give you some helps. Turns out, Denmark is the happiest country. I dont know how Indonesia rated, but certainly not in the Top 12. Hehe.

    The surprise is Bhutan and Brunei, both in Top 12. Singapore, US, UK are not within Top 12. Apart from where you live, i guess happiness is all about you.

    Cheer up, be happy, and live it!
