You don't need anxiety and problems. All you really seek is a conflict free environment which can offer peace and mental security. You don't like the idea of being alone and, whatever the reason, at this time of your life you feel as if you are being 'left out'. What you really need is perhaps some 'tender loving care'.

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from!

Enough is enough - but the problems never seem to stop. They never stop. You feel, and maybe you are right, that the problems seem to go on and on and you have indeed had more than your fair share of trials and tribulations. But to give you credit - you bounce back time and time again - you stick to your beliefs because deep down you have that inner knowledge, that 'belief' system that in the end, everything will turn out OK - and you are right -it will!

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Politics

As some of you have know, im went back to work in the previous company. More money and no agent.

Before i went back, i have heard of some mis-treatment by one of the management staff and my expectation after listening was bad, but not to the extent of the end of the curve. But i never expect to be really THAT bad after working for 1 month.

The environment have really changed alot. Last time round, there used to be shouting, joking and fooling around. Picture a happy working environment. Now, everyone is keeping to themselves, only grouped with those whom they can really shared all the gossips and happenings from the management staff. Even having lunch is also in groups. You could even feel the negative vibes in the air that you just dont have the motivation to work.

Frankly speaking, i dont have anything against the management staff despite doing stuff that is not in my capabilities. Heck, i haven even started doing it. I dont see other management staff asking me to do work that is not in my capability. Somehow it was her way of delegating work to other people that got tongues wagging. Dont get me wrong, if she is doing for the first time and need help, we will do our utmost best to help. But 2nd time and 3rd time? Other management staff have their own portfolios to take care of, they cant neglect their own work and help her 24/7. They too have deadlines to meet.

But somehow i bought up an issue to the top management recently and in return got backstabbed for it. The issue was regarding emails that cc-ed to me, i have to print out and file it. By the end of the day, any particular email that corresponds the most, the file will be quite thick. The logical common sense is to print out the last correspondence and file it in. Apparently the management staff dont see it that way and die die want to have the latest correspondence.

And now, im labelled as someone who have attitude problem and constantly been late. Why other people dont see it? Im not even hired by her, but another management staff. She also bad-mouthed other temps and im wondering in the first place, why the need to hire us when you are 'overwhelmed' with work and delegate work to us yet in return, bad-mouthed us? My day at the office is practically surfing the net half of the day. The other half is really working in the office. eg, checking email, photocopying, filing, using Excel to check figures.

This totally sum up the title of this post. Office politics. And my friendly management staff says it all, "Welcome to the real world."

2 more weeks to go and i cant even wait for it. There are 4 management staff and i only keep in contact with 2 of them. One is the above-mentioned, the other one is, let just say, no one bother to contact. This will also the last time i work for this company. One spoilt apple and other apples have to suffer from it.

Hurt

Argh, my gum hurts like hell. hurt like nobody business. grrr.

i cant open my mouth fully to eat even a mouthful of rice. If i open my mouth any bigger to eat anything, it will hurt so bad that i couldnt bother chewing the food, lest enjoying the food even more. sigh.

further more, this is the second time my gum hurts so bad since the start of the year. i think i really eat too much fried stuff liao. instead of having a sore throat, i have this. argh.

Hot or cold

Meet up some of the barflies like Dow, dtts, shelled and fitti for supper at HK Cafe at Kovan.

One hilarious conversation between dtts and a waitress got us laugh till the waitress dont dare to look at us.

dtts: "er, i will like to have this drink."
waitress: "you want hot or cold?"
dtts(shocked): "i tot the title say is iced."

And im not sleeping yet. Damn, not sleepy yet working later. im going to be so dead.

Random

I donno what to put for the title for this post as i just saw a familiar name been assigned as a tutor to my new class.

Good thing is that i have been thru her way of teaching before. Bad thing is she might be more stricter in this module.

Great, just great. And i foresee an interesting first tutorial where all those students that never taught by her. Actually, im looking forward to her lessons as she really have a way to drill the topics into your mind.

Simple request

3 weeks to go before my new term starts, with my timetable finalized, i only got one simple request.

That is to hope not to go through last sem kind of events ever again. Though i know there is no way what will happened in the future, or some might even say that there could be a repeat of history, im pulling all stops to let it happened again. Good thing was everything is running smooth right now, from my family to my own personal problems. Is not as though i have requested for heaven and earth, is just a simple request that seem so hard to fulfill. No?

look like someone going to get a treat from me when he comes back year end. Hehe. And not forgetting a long-legged beauty wor. Thanks for the treat.

Absence of faith

Got this from r3gular and find it interesting..

Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.’ The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?’‘Yes sir,’ the student says.

‘So you believe in God?’

‘Absolutely.’

‘Is God good?’

‘Sure! God’s good.’

‘Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?’

‘Yes.’

‘Are you good or evil?’

‘The Bible says I’m evil.’

The professor grins knowingly. ‘Aha! The Bible!’ He considers for a moment.

‘Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?’

‘Yes sir, I would.’

‘So you’re good…..!’

‘I wouldn’t say that.’

‘But why not say that? You’d help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.’

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. ‘He doesn’t, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?’

The student remains silent.

‘No, you can’t, can you?’ the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

‘Let’s start again, young fella Is God good?’

‘Er…yes,’ the student says.

‘Is Satan good?’

The student doesn’t hesitate on this one. ‘No.’

‘Then where does Satan come from?’

The student : ‘From…God…’

‘That’s right. God made Satan, didn’t he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?’

‘Yes, sir.’

‘Evil’s everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything, correct?’

‘Yes.’

‘So who created evil?’ The professor continued, ‘If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.’

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: ‘Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?’

The student: ‘Yes.’

‘So who created them?’

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. ‘Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

‘Tell me,’ he continues onto another student. ‘Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?’

The student’s voice is confident: ‘Yes, professor, I do.’

The old man stops pacing. ‘Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?’

‘No sir. I’ve never seen Him’

‘Then tell us if you’ve ever heard your Jesus?’

‘No, sir, I have not.’

‘Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?’

‘No, sir, I’m afraid I haven’t.’

‘Yet you still believe in him?’

‘Yes.’

‘According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?’

‘Nothing,’ the student replies. ‘I only have my faith.’

‘Yes, faith,’ the professor repeats. ‘And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.’

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own. ‘Professor, is there such thing as heat?’

‘Yes,’ the professor replies. ‘There’s heat.’

‘And is there such a thing as cold?’

‘Yes, son, there’s cold too.’

‘No sir, there isn’t…’

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

‘You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don’t have anything called ‘cold’. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.
You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.’

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

‘What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?’

‘Yes,’ the professor replies without hesitation. ‘What is night if it isn’t darkness?’

‘You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have
Nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? That’s the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?’

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. ‘So what point are you making, young man?’

‘Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.’

The professor’s face cannot hide his surprise this time. ‘Flawed? Can you explain how?’

‘You are working on the premise of duality,’ the student explains. ‘You argue that there is life and then there’s death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a
thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.’

‘Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?’

‘If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do’

‘Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?’

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

‘Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?’

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

‘To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.’

The student looks around the room… ‘Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor’s brain?’ The class breaks out into laughter.

‘Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor’s brain, felt the professor’s brain, touched or smelled the professor’s brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no
brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?’

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. ‘I guess you’ll have to take them on faith.’

‘Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,’ the student continues. ‘Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?’

Now uncertain, the professor responds, ‘Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man… It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.’

To this the student replied, ‘Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.

God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.‘

The professor sat down.

Pass this on if you have faith in God.
If not, still pass it on for it’s a good story.
