*** My Lovely Holiday Ended***

Bored..

Yea yea.. I know I know I am not able to keep the habit to blog here.. If I leave words here.. You will know how bored I am.. Depending on the length of my blog.. :)

These days I am SUPER DUPER bored... I can start my day in the office WIKIPEDIA-ing from 1 link to another.. read all those:

History... From Weapon of Mass Destructions in the World to Anthrax to Radioactive Element to Marie Curie..

Celebrities Profile... Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera

Travel.. Japan, Europe, USA

Song... All kind I heard on FM

Fish.. Barracuda, Sail Fish, Piranha (FYI: Recently downloaded this fishing game on Iphone 4.. Yes!! Iphone 4.. FYI)

Designer Co. ... LVMH etc etc

ETC ETC all these on WIKI.

Then the Forbes website.. ( The song "I want to be a Billionaire" keep playing in my head.)
Rich List
Powerful Celebrities List

Damn.. I want to be a Billionaire tooooo... You see.. If I am a billionaire.. I wont be here write these boring stuff..

Found this post on this website when I google(d) "Things to do to in office pass time"
(zenhabits.net)

Just some things I’ve done to keep my mind busy — pick and choose those that might work for you.

1. Create a new challenge. I think this is by far the best thing on the list, but you may differ. Many times we’re bored because we don’t have a challenge — things are too easy or routine. So instead of waiting for someone to create a challenge for you, do it yourself. How can you challenge yourself? Set a new goal at work. Challenge yourself to produce more than ever. Explore new projects. Set personal goals and pursue them. Whatever excites you.
My Comment: Well.. not sure how to do this..

2. Pursue your next job. If your job is so boring you don’t know what to do with yourself, you may need to move on. But instead of quitting right away, start lining up your next gig first. Look around for openings, call people, update your resume and submit it to a few places, pick up a few applications, send out some email feelers. Find something that will never get you bored, something you’ll be passionate about.
My Comment: This is something that I am DOING.. Boring..

3. List your life goals. What is it you want to accomplish in life? Not just with work, but personally? If you’ve listed them before, it’s always good to update them. Then choose one of those goals to achieve this year. Now think about what you can do today to move closer to that goal, even if it’s just a small thing. Get the ball rolling. Do this every day — move yourself closer to that goal.
My Comment: Goals?? I only got 1.. I want to b a Billionaire so FREAKING BAD!!

4. Read Zen Habits. Or whatever your favorite distraction is. If it’s something that will improve your life, even better. Just limit how long you read at one time, so you’re not reading through the Zen Habits archives in one sitting.
My Comment: I will do that after all this..

5. Declutter your workspace. If I’ve got nothing better to do, I’ll clear off my desk (if there’s anything there), or start looking around critically at everything in view and asking myself, “Does that really need to be there? How can I simplify this?” Weird, I know, but I have an oddly uncluttered workspace. Right now my desk is a table, my iMac, an nothing else. No files, no papers, no office supplies, nothing. Everything is done on my computer, and I love it that way. Nothing on my walls. You may not need anything as spartan as that, but decluttering can be a lot of fun.
My Comment: I have already cleaned up and cleared up my desk.. I personal belonging will be only.. My CUP, Mobile Phones & Bag.

6. Pursue a hobby. My hobby (until it became a profession) was blogging … I would do it at work in my spare time, or before or after work. Not everyone can pursue their hobby at work — the model airplane glue might bother your coworkers, for example — but sometimes you can just read about it while at work. I was upfront about my blogging and freelancing at work with my boss, btw, but many people get away with doing it on the sly. I won’t make a recommendation, but just don’t get fired.
My Comment: My mind is blank most of the time.. Dunno what to write in my blog...

7. Make your work a game. You can make a game out of anything. See how many widgets you can crank in 10 minutes. Pretend that your coworkers are evil villains. Imagine that you are a CIA agent in disguise, and no one knows. Or a fairy princess. Whatever floats your boat. :)
My Comment: Errr.. Will do background check on all my colleague later today..

8. Educate yourself. On Guam, this is called “edumacation” — it’s not a real word, but we like to play with English. Whatever you call it, you can improve your knowledge online in any area — whether that be work-related or not. Be your own college instructor. Wikipedia is a great place to start, but if you’re going to have a specialized knowledge in anything, branch out from there.
My Comment: I think I am already doing this.. By Wikipedia-ing

9. Improve your skills. Along the same lines: choose a skill that needs sharpening, and challenge yourself to get better at it. Whether that’s computer programming, writing, working with Adobe InDesign, or whatever. Perfect your skills — you can use it to further your career, get a new job, or become self-employed. Or just have the satisfaction of knowing you’re the best you can be at that skill.

My Comment: HMMMM

10. Play Sudoku. Perhaps not the most intellectual game of all time, or the most exciting … but I still find it a lot of fun. I only played it a little while and didn’t get addicted like other people I know, but I have to admit it’s a fun way to pass the time.
My Comment: Good Idea.. Hope the Freaking Internet on my Iphone will work soon so that I can download the Sudoku on my I4.

11. Choose a soothing desktop picture. I like to do this when I’m procrastinating. I will go online, to flickr or some desktop wallpaper website and browse around until I find a very simple, soothing picture. I do this maybe every month or so. In fact, I’m going to go do that right now!
My Comment: Errrrrr...

12. Do some pushups and crunches. If you’re bored, you might as well start getting in shape. You can do pushups and crunches right there on the floor next to your desk (or go outside if you’re worried about your coworkers seeing you). Or walk up some steps, or do squats and lunges without weights, or dips in your chair, or butt squeezes (that means squeeze your own butt, not your coworkers’).
My Comment: Can I do that in the office??

13. Take a day or two off. Sometimes you just need to refresh yourself, recharge your batteries before starting again. Don’t do any work while you’re out. Veg out, or read, or sleep, or exercise, or whatever. Get your mind off work. Think about your priorities. Get out in nature. Reconnect with your life.
My Comment: Gonna take a long long leave soon.. Why bother take leave?

14. Take a walk. Often this is all I need, especially if I’ve been sitting all day and my blood is pooling up in my butt and legs. I need to get that blood circulating! Go outside, walk around, look at people, look at nature, think about your day and your life and the people in it.
My Comment: errr.. eeee. ehhh... oooooh

15. Drink some water. Dehydration can make us tired and sluggish. Water can refresh us. Keep that water coming all day long — you may need to pee more though.
My Comment: Drink drink drink... Can I have some beer?

16. Call a loved one. What better time to call someone to catch up, to tell them you love them, to just say hi … than when you’ve got nothing better to do. It’s a nice way to stay connected.
My Comment: In Office la... Can use office Phone?

17. Read. I like to carry a novel everywhere I go. Then I whip it out anytime I have spare time, waiting at the doctor’s office, in line at the post office, driving in the Indy 500 … you know. If not a novel, carry around a “to read” folder with stuff you want or need to read but don’t have time for right now … then whip it out at your desk when you’re bored. You could have a “to read” folder on your computer too.
My Comment: Read... I am reading..

18. Start writing your novel. Many of us have a novel that’s tossing itself around in our heads and hearts, waiting to come out. Well, start getting it out, mister. Just start by writing some notes, thinking about characters and plot and what the hell this book is about anyway. It’s not going to come out by itself.
My Comment: I am not a writing person.

19. Take a nap. If you don’t have a good place to do this, you can curl up under your desk with a sweater, or go to your car and sleep. I’ve learned how to fall asleep at my chair, but thank goodness I’m working at home and can go to the couch in a napping emergency.
My Comment: I wish I can work at home too..

20. Create a new project or role. If things are stagnating at work, start something new. Create and innovate. What can you do that has a lasting impact for your company and for yourself, for your career? If you’re stuck in a dead-end role, create a new role for yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s not in the job description. Find something that’s not being done by someone else, something that needs to be done or that hasn’t been thought of yet, but that would really benefit the company — and take it upon yourself to do it. You might need to talk to your boss, but sometimes you can just start doing something and inform the higher-ups later. If it’s good for the company, and if they’re smart, they’ll be happy.
My Comment: errrr...

21. Write a love letter. If you have a significant other, write a letter telling them why you love them. They’ll love it. Email is fine, but pen and paper are even better.
My Comment: Do love letter still exist? What is Pen & Paper?

22. Do one small thing to make yourself wealthier. That might be creating a savings account if you don’t have one yet, or setting up an automatic transfer between checking and savings every payday, or researching a money market fund or index fund, or simply reading Get Rich Slowly or The Simple Dollar for personal finance basics.
My Comment: Yeahhhh.. I want to be a Billionaire So freaking Bad..

23. Write a blog post. This is something I love to do when things get slow. I’ll just call up a text file and start writing. I love lists, of course (you guys should know that by now), so often I’ll just start making a list, and writing down my thoughts. If things are really slow, I’ll do the whole blog post. I can always post it later if necessary. Make sure you love what you’re writing about.
My Comment: Thats what I am doing now... I am super bored now..

24. Do an errand. This can either be in the office (“Where’s that ink cartridge I’ve been needing all week?”) or outside the office (“I really should buy toilet paper today!”). It gets you moving, it gets you away from the scene of your boredom, and it accomplishes something useful.
My Comment: Nah...

25. Update your personal finances. I used to track my finances through Microsoft Money, but I’ve since switched to using a Google spreadsheet, so that it’s online and accessible from anywhere. I considered other online solutions, but personally, I like to keep things as simple as possible. However you do it, it’s a good idea to update your financial tracking system once a week or so, so that you know where you stand and you don’t overspend. Got some spare time? Update.
My Comment: I dun think that works for me..

26. Meditate at your desk. Some people would say this is just a fancy term for taking a nap. But for me the key is not to fall asleep, but to close my eyes and focus on my breathing. Nothing new-agey about this — it brings your focus back to the present and calms you. Sometimes it’ll calm you so much you’ll fall asleep. I say, two birds, one stone.
My Comment: I am sure that will look like napping to others.

27. Organize your files. OK, this might seem boring to many people, but I like to organize things. I get a perverse satisfaction from purging useless stuff and having everything be smaller, neater, and in order. And it doesn’t take long.
My Comment: I believe my files are well organised.

28. Clear out your inbox. I get joy out of an empty inbox, whether that’s my email inbox or physical one. Crank through it until it’s empty — you don’t have to do everything in the inbox, but just make a note of it on your to-do list if you plan to do it later (or delete, file, forward, or do it now). Got a thousand or two emails in your inbox? Put them in a temporary folder and do them later, starting with a fresh inbox. Chances are, you won’t need to do them at all. Now just keep your inbox empty from here on out.
My Comment: Is all clear just like my desk.

29. Crank up the tunes. Some funky or upbeat tunes might just do the trick. They can make any job much more fun. Either play it on your speakers if your coworkers don’t mind, or plug in the earbuds. Currently on my playlist: Radiohead, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jack Johnson, Snow Patrol … I could go on and on.
My Comment: My I4 is playing right now..

30. Get wild! Sometimes we just need to let loose. Start singing at the top of your lungs, or dance around the office. Sure, people might stare or laugh, but a little fun in the office isn’t a bad thing. Or get out of the office and do something fun or crazy. One afternoon of wildity isn’t going to hurt you (well, stay away from things that are illegal or life-threatening, if possible).
My Comment: War Game in Office? Is that ok?


However, I found this good QUOTE by Lao Tzu from this site too:
‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’
I just love this Website..

Blacklisted Furniture shop...

Went for furniture shopping on last saturday 13 March..

I bought a bed frame which I think is nice in this shop @ Jalan Pahang -Syarikat Perabut Sin heng- Just right beside Jalan Pahang..

The so-called boss promise to deliver it to me on Today.. Wed 17 March.. A bit disappointment but still I have paid the full amount to him by credit card... The original price he gave me for this bed frame is MYR499.. there are no price tag on it.. so, I bargained.. in the end.. he gave me MYR460... However, when I told him that I will be paying by credit card.. he told me that he will charge me 3% for that.. Well, I asked him to waive this fees.. and he did..

However, yesterday I received a call from this fella telling me that the design of the bed frame changed without his acknowledge by his supplier.. it is a divan instead of a bed frame.. I was busy so I told him that I will just drop by and have a look..

5.30 sharp.. I left office and hit the shop.. I have been shown by the fella with the divan that I did not order and he told me... He can do nothing it.. I can either change to another model or accept the divan or add more money for another model... I am not willing to add more money on these.. So I think.... think.. think... Anyway, he told me orelse I have to wait until their statement comes and give me a cheque...

WAT THE HELL .. I think...

I have to go back to the shop to collect the cheque somemore!!!
I was furious... I walked out to get my credit card and begin to call the CITIBANK Credit Card.. The officer told me that the shop can do approval reversal.. when I went back to the shop that fella is gone.. His employee told me that he have gone to fetch his children..

WAT THE F***.. Just leave like this without telling me? God.. this fella is so so so rude.. This is not the first time.. When I arrive his shop earlier when his employee told me his location. I saw him and he saw me... he dun even greet me. He just act if he did not see me and walked away.

Anyway, I left and go home to make dinner..

After dinner, I decided to go back to the shop and ask for the refund immediately. The fella once again show me attitude and even call me "UNCLE"

GDI!!!!

At the end.. he told me that He will do the reversal on the next day and I can check it with the bank, since I like to call the bank..

I was so frustrated.. I left..

Today I received a call from him telling me that the bank told him the transaction will takes 7 days for the money to be back in my account.. "You call the bank after 7 days la!"

I told him.. I am very very tired with all these bullshit....

What kind of shop is this??!!!
