It has been quite some time since I heard these few words "Don't be afraid"
the other day, left office about 6pm
and of all the lifts (there are 6 altogether)
I go and select the one that people is repairing (how I know wor, also no signboard or people inside) It arrived, door opened then I go in loh.
pressed '1' door closed but then didn't go down
pressed '1' again, also the screen still show '15'
then pressed ' < > ' to open door & come out, door didn't open.
try '< >' many times again, nothing happened.
then while I was pressing '1' again, I saw the screen showed '15' .... till '9'
then it stopped.
thought got people want to come in lift, but door never open.
the door did have some noise like want to open, but still didn't open.
then to my disappointment, the same thing happen like at level 15.
me already thinking want to press 'bell' sign or not.
me scare later the guard scold "sikit sikit tekan loceng"
was hoping the lift reach level 1 faster and let me out.
It did reach level 1, can hear the 'think' sound and 'announcement'
but the door refused to open (no matter what I pressed =P
each time I pressed the '< > ' there were some noise as though the door is opening, but then the door is still closed.
then after some time, door still don't open.
scared liao so press the emergency 'bell' loh
if there's another people in the lift, at least me not so scare. got people to talk to ma.
then I heard noise from outside the door ... thought saviour come liao ... very efficient =)
when the door opened by the 'uncle' with a metal equipment.
I was relieved.
uncle : (cantonese) why press bell so long, scare ah? (laughing)
me : (cantonese) hai loh, so long already also door didn't happen
uncle : (cantonese) mm gheng, uncle yat think wooi lam ban fat hoi mun bei lei chuit lei geh. yi goh mun shot shot dai, shing yat jam geh.
translated : don't be afraid, uncle will sure think of ways to open door let you out wan. this door something wrong, always jam
me : oh ... mm guai tak la. toh jie uncle. hou choi yau lei heung do
translated : oh...no wonder la, lucky you're here
uncle : I come here to repair mah
me : oh ...
( actually I wanted to say "uncle, if repair, you put sign mah, then only people know will know ma. Else will scare 'sai dam' (faint hearted) people like me to death =P

" We don't want pay raise"
March ... It's time of the year again
... performance appraisal .. salary review .. performance bonus
while some are delighted .. some are satisfied .. some are somewhat fine with it .. some are not so enthusiastic about it .. some are downright demotivated.
me? not in the first 2 group loh =)
perhaps I didn't give my 100% gua (what's 100% btw? =)
perhaps my EQ not that good gua (that I offended the lady boss)
perhaps there are many more perhaps ...
while most of us are looking forward to promotion or at least pay raise,
these 3 extraordinary guys : Brin, Page & Schmidt
reduced their individual salaries to USD 1 last year & rejected recent attempt to give them a raise.
why ah???
guess this is the 'why'
they are already billionaires who are Google Inc largest individual shareholder with over 2/3 of voting power. Already pocketing enough passive income to last them a lifetime, so why not make their salaries (money) work harder for them ... channel it to motivate their employees to work harder for organisation which in turn benefit them ;)

mother - in - law
The other day, a ex-college friend asked this question
"what kind of mother-in-law would you like to have?"
Feeling a bit weird (our discussion was on something else oh)
I smiled and asked
" what type of mother-in-law do you think our mum will be?"
" what type of mother-in-law do you think we'll be?" (if applicable)
haha.. actually, I asked those questions because I can't think of answers during then =D
To which she laughed and said
" that's a good one, never thought of that "
" but I think my mum is quite nice, I'll try to be good mother-in-law too if I BECOME ONE" she laughed.
now back to my question
"what kind of mother-in-law would you like to have?"
" good mother-in-law loh, like you" =P was my spontaneous reply
she asked again "what if we try our best yet they don't like us?"
... the conversation goes on for about 30 minutes on the same topic, what I did was just be a listener. I guess sometimes we just need someone to talk to & to listen gua.
... but then, I still don't know how to answer her second question and many questions that followed ... I think she has the answers, what she need is just some support & confirmation.
the other day, the TV station were showing "Meet the parents" ...
and I was thinking about it while watching =)
it does have happy ending, doesn't it? =)
