Work and Education

I love the Norwegiens style of work. Kind of laid back-ish yet effective. 

I feel it somehow reflects on the maturity of their society in general. There is no real 'rank' play between co workers. 

They have lunch together everyday. Spread on the table and everyone just comes in at 12 to have lunch. And every Friday they take turns cooking lunch and bringing it to work.

BUT they dont sleep during working hours. In Sg its normal to take naps in lieu of lunching out but here its frowned upon. It reflects on your work ethics? as a colleague said. 

Its always an eye opener to live in another culture. I look forward to his learning oppurtunity, not just work-wise but perhaps something that can be applied in life.

Now this, is what I call education.

An Act?

Your ibadah, is between you and God only.

Publicizing just makes it look like an act, but that's just me.
Maybe you aim to inspire?
I do not know.
Forgive me for judging, but im only human.

Updates

Aug 2011.

Seems like the end of the year is upon us again. Been a year since I joined the current company and it does seem like the 1st day was yesterday. Will be promoted soon, yay! That means more $ and well, overtime.

Overtime. When love and hate collide. I treasure my time, but i love money too.. so its like.. acam ni sekarang?

I mean i gotta overtime like crazy from now on. I've got quite a bit planned for 2012. Divin' the great barrier reef and jumpin' outta plane. Plus the family be planning to get a maid since nenek's staying with us now =) . And sister's taking a $10K degree per year in Psychology so financial commitments is like.. so banyak siak.

And this year I got my Advanced Open Water Dive license. I went round Msia on my 125cc bike, which a few years back, i honestly thought was quite impossible. Well we have Mr Izwan to thank for making the 'impossible' a reality.

Made quite a few wonderful Msian friends, made possible with the sweet Ms Dipz. She says she's not sweet, but i beg to differ~

Now I'm trying to squeeze in Kinabalu end of the year !

Love life.. WHR GOT TIME BERROHH!! =)

Adventures

An adventure's only an adventure when there is a risk of dying. For in the midst of danger is where you're truly alive.

Lest I forget

Life's an adventure. This is on my to-do list.

-skydive
-skydive without a parachute on
-dive at the great barrier reef
-meet sharks while diving
-climb kinabalu
-climb everest

Sometimes life gets busy and you get sidetracked. This is just a list to remind myself..

Lest i forget.
