"Pulau Pangkor (I)"

Back from Pangkor on Tue, Dec team building on Wed and ZH's farewell dinner just now... Finally, time to sort out some of the pics!

Drove to Lumut on Sunday noon, Monday nite have to attend my gf's sis' wedding dinner.

Lumut jetty... Nice observation tower, too bad it's another abandoned gov project! :P

Jetty fare is RM5 one way... departs every 15 minutes

Mesra Feri... go for this one coz it has the upper deck where u can 'chui-chui fong' ;)

Arrived in Pangkor Island at 5pm, LayShian and her husband there to pick us up, quickly leave the luggage and make a dash for....

The beach! It's 6pm... From the travel blogs, Pangkor has some wonderful sunsets.. and you *know* I ain't gonna miss them ;) Sun's still shining bright, but to catch sunsets, have to be early. The 'critical' moment lasts only a few minutes!

We're staying in Coral Bay Resort and it's just beside the beach called Pasir Bogak...

Ok, it's almost there! Shh... no more words...








Wow....it's more breathtaking than what I saw on the websites..... The sea and the sky turns into gold.... :)

This makes the terribly long journey worth it.... :)

"Pictures from Pet"

Good Pet send some photos from her camera... Lets see what we have!

Taken after the Cow and ZH's farewell @ Sakae Sushi in QB. Luckily we were fast, coz the security guard then halau us... funny thing was, we wanted to ask the guard to help us take the pic! Haha....

"My birthday celebration..."

Check out the superb sunset rays on the way there. Cool, huh...

And the food:

Complimentary soup.

Lime and Plum drink; make sure you order this! It's very delicious and you can eat the plum inside ;)

Gf: "Erm.. this isn't exactly the best spot to take pics...." :-S I agree actually!

My position looks better...

Asparagus

Tofu

Chicken (the names are lost to me; it's basically look at the menu and point what you want!)

And the Ultimate food served here.....


Oyster noodle!! Yeah, I purposely zoomed in so that we can see the huge oysters..... phew...

All this came out to about ~RM34, which is pretty affordable I'd say... :)

"Happy Birthday to Leopard!"

Yup, this year really a lot of wishes from my dear frens. Thanks! :D

Just came back from a simple dinner. Will be off to Melaka in a short while, by BUS! Man, how long since the last time I took bus. No choice la, still few days more before payday... :-S

I saw this clip from YouTube:



Doesn't matter what your political allegiance, you *have* to see this! :D

"Bad bosses..."

OMG, people all round the world are facing it...

I found this interesting article and summarized it here:

10 Things Employees Dislike Most about Their Employers

1. Lack of Communication
The biggest problem with any relationship is lack of communication. The issue starts when employees avoid speaking forthright to their employers for fear of retribution.

2. Unfair Pay
It’s hard to find an employee who thinks they make too much money. So the best employers can do is live up to fair-wage standards.

3. No Job Security
With outsourcing, downsizing, globalization and pressure to meet the bottom line, job security has become a scarce commodity.

4. Under Appreciation
Nothing says, ‘We don't appreciate you’ more than when your employee has worked like crazy to finish the project and you reward them by adding more to their plate.

5. Favoritism
Whether it’s more money, an undeserved promotion, or a better schedule, favoritism by an employer can be a destructive force to morale. When “who you know” becomes a blatant reason for advancement or preferential treatment, employees often find it tough to swallow this bitter pill.

6. Overworked
Aside from not getting paid enough, this is probably the most common complaint employees have – whether it’s true or not.

7. Micromanagement
The boss that’s involved is great. The one who’s over-involved can be a nightmare. The micromanager shows little trust in employees and robs them of the ability to do their job.

8. Incompetent Managers
There’s at least one in every company. The man or woman who people shake their head at and ask, “How in the world did they get that job?”

9. No Opportunity for Advancement
Finding yourself with a ceiling over your career is not a good place for an employee to be in.

10. Overbearing Boss
The nasty, overbearing boss. The evil supervisor.

If you can relate to any one of the above, then you're definitely not alone!

Man, they even have websites like this..."Badbossology??!"
