Til We Ain't Strangers AnyMore (Bon Jovi)

It might be hard to be lovers
But it's harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It's time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I'll just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Don't you think it's time we say
Some things we haven't said
It ain't too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why don't you look at me
Till we ain't strangers anymore

Sometimes it's hard to love me
Sometimes it's hard to love you too
I know it's hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

It's hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn out the lights
It's hard to say you're sorry
When you can't turn off the light
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping strong
So lets get down to it baby
There ain't no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Till we ain't strangers anymore

We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
We're not strangers anymore

World's First Cash Dispenser

Have you ever wondered when the first cash dispenser was installed?

I chanced upon this BBCNews article about the first cash dispenser. It was first installed last 27 June 1967. The article even stated the reason it used four-digit number pin instead of six digits.

It's an amazing invention. It was invented earlier than I expected....

Btw, the inventor's name is John Shepherd-Barron.

Frustrating Language

I spoke different dialect, and prefer to speak English whenever I'm outside of our country. It's frustrating that I got limited vocabulary with our national language. Worst, you can't do anything for someone who asked for help with regards to national language.

The only way to learn this language is to speak with other people. Unfortunately, conversational vocabulary is also limited, and not applicable to what I want to achieve. Maybe it's time to read some materials dedicated for this language, otherwise I'll just keep on getting frustrated. sigh...

How to learn this crap?!!! Maybe I'm just very disappointed at this time...

Thinking as Entrepreneur

Technical people have different mindset as that of entrepreneurs. The fields are totally different. And I'm thinking of becoming an entrepreneur for quite sometime now. I thought it would be nice to break out from modern slavery.

I've discussed this subject matter with a best friend, and her inputs were quite invaluable. She's most exposed to this matter than I do. I would have thought differently without her inputs. It was discussed more on general terms, though I would have preferred to discuss it with her in details, but I felt pai sei.

I also contacted a very good resource person which I thought he might have some experience. He's my dad! Yes. I have to talk to him for an hour in a long distance call. But the cost is worth it.

After discussing with Dad the details, the pros & cons, the terminologies used and some formula I found that it's not as straight forward being entrepreneur. The subject matter becomes more complex when money is involved. Financial statement, profit and loss subjects made my mind whirling.

Not that I don't understand! I thought I've studied and understand all these things. But when I think like entrepreneur and having investors in mind, strategies and the best way to move forward, it's totally different from studying. I need to cover almost all things that I can think of to make things feasible. Getting your hands dirty changes your mindset compared to all in theory.

It's best to think these things over and over and over until everything is clear. But definitely I'll give it a shot. We'll see the next few days... The ball is in my court, and I have to play with it...

I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Necessary Documentation

Friday, June 22: Client's request status is in limbo. I literally refused to do the task because maintenance is not clear, therefore it's not mandatory to deliver the goods.

I asked the new person in-charged to show me the scope of the job, unfortunately she can't show any document. According to her, the previous employee didn't have it in a file.

Bingo!!!

My suspicion is confirmed that the person is not really doing the job. All wayang!!! No wonder when I tried to discuss those matters last time, they're illusive! They didn't have straight answers.

Documentation is always necessary when dealing in business. Verbal agreement sometimes work, but when there's a change of hand, definitely it will be difficult to implement what was verbally agreed.

I also thought that people who were taking over are very thorough. At least that's the feedback given to me. hmmm... These new guys were duped by the gal. Good at sweet talk, but not in deed.

I guess I need to be more careful with these guys. Most likely these are worse the previous ones... Just thinking....

All Messed Up (Breaking Point)

I hope I never wake up
I dream about you all the time now
And I don't wanna face
Another night without you here
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
You know I've always wanted
Just to feel the touch of your love
You know I've always hated
Knowing how far apart we are
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
I just want you to know

[CHORUS:]
Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're far away
But you're here with me
Baby I'm all messed up in you
You're all I need
My everything

Every night i wake up
Hoping that I'll find you here and
There's not a day that goes by
I don't think about your smile
Someday, someway, somehow
We will be together again
I just want you to know

[CHORUS]

And I know that we will find a way
To be together someday
And I promise you that I won't leave
I'll be here forever

[CHORUS]

I want you
I need you
I'm lost here without you
I'm all messed up in you
I hope i never wake up
I dream about you all the time now.

Purpose of Meeting

People usually go for meeting to discuss issues and clarify things out. Unfortunately, there are bozos will just go to meeting unprepared just for the sake of having a meeting. End result, issues are still hanging, and they just wasted time!

When asked the outcome and conclusion regarding the issues, there's no single concrete answer! And still they still need to check some information. Really idiots!!!

Worst is they want me to go for the meeting and discuss the issues. Meeting again!!! These are useless idiots!

No wonder, they can fill pressure from the bosses.

Wayang wayang!!! These are the real pretenders!!

Issues in Computer Applications

We can find any type of computer applications from games to sophisticated application. Basically applications are for entertainment and tools to make us more efficient and need only little time to complete a particular task.

Sometimes it's frustrating to see some utility applications that take so much time to finish. When checking the codes, we can realize that coding caused the problem. Instead of letting the computer do the job, the programmer did the computer's job.

Often we heard programmers saying that the issues were due to old computer and can't process as much data as needed. In actual fact, it's the logic building and implementation are the issue.

These so called programmers are not really programmers by standard. They just thought they can instruct CPUs, and teach computers to think the way they think, then they are already programmers.

When can these people learn?!

Just asking...

What's In a Picture?

Everyday we see different pictures anywhere we go. It is used as a record on any event that we thought help us remember things. Whether it's a happy, sad or tragic moment. Anything that we would like to cherish and look back in the future.

Even in computers, we used images (pictures) to represent a particular function or objects coz as human beings we used to seeing objects rather than reading words. Icons representation in computers are preferred and seen as user-friendly compared to text-based information.

There is more than recording on events or locations. Different shapes and colors comprise a picture, but it may reveal things that we like, our mood & character and personality.

Most of us get excited or curious when we see somebody changed a picture that represent himself/herself. It's human nature! Often, speculation is drawn when we see something different, though it would be good to understand the premise of such changes. Otherwise, we may come up with the wrong conclusion. That's make life exciting, isn't it?

A picture paints a thousand words sums it all....

Stagnant Time!!!

It's just about five (5) days since I came back to work, but it seems the time is stagnant. Feel like I've been here for years without break, but the fact is that I just resumed work.

Stagnant time makes you feel like five years older than yesterday.... (sigh)

Maybe it's time to change something. But what is it? Maybe I'm too lost that cause the time to stop...

As the saying goes, "Idle Time is the Devil's Workshop"...
