According to Tokyomango there is this product that can aid the user to smile better.
Just the thing I need. I think I look silly when I smile. Hence I try to keep myself from smiling, which makes me looks stern and fierce.. (continue reading…)

For the uninitiated, a leaky bucket is a theory used for networks traffic shaping. I like the name. I imagine it to be a bucket, with a hole and a filter at the bottom. Water is poured into the bucket from the top. Water escapes from the hole and filter.

This is a nice analogy for work. W is for water. W is for work. The bucket is the capacity for work. The hole in the bucket determines how fast we can drain the water or get work done. The bigger the hole, the faster the water flows out, the faster the work output!

I received a call. It’s for the Yoga class I’ve signed up a long time ago. This is actually the 2nd time they have called me. Again, I have to explain that I am still interested in the class but I am not able to turn up for the next most of the 12 sessions. The lady gave me a not again tone. I bet she was thinking am I kidding her or what.

Maybe when I really have time for the lessons my interest for the class will have diminished…

This woman is amazing.

I cannot say that I am very happy about my current job. Though I have good colleagues, I have my fair share of complains about my job and the company I work for. At times, I feel like I am complaining too much. Everyone else is living a similar life and here I am whining about my life, which is not worse off.

I have never felt secured about having a contracted job. Even if I were to be employed as a permanent staff, it takes no more than an email or letter to get me off their payroll.

I was afraid. Very afraid indeed when I did my bold move and quit a year ago. Afraid that I will not find another job. Thinking back, I think I did miss out a part of my income. This job pays meagerly. But I felt I did learn a lot. Much more than if I stayed in my well paid job in a storeroom. I dragged my best friend out of job and caused him depression for quite some time too. This I feel bad.

This article by Steve Pavlina hits me right in the spot about how I feel about employment.

I felt I have lost my freedom. Not to say that I have a great social life to begin with, working has now hindered my spending of time with my family.

Suddenly I feel like coming out of my coward shell and be out of job!

Today is 20th July 2007. If we string the numbers together, we will get 20072007.
