50 Ringgit Notes

When we withdraw from the ATM machine, most of the time 50 ringgit note comes out.

I still remember, when I was a kid, my late father always get ready a bag of ceiling and a lots of small notes before he started his business for a day.

But seems the world had changed a lot. As a consumer we have to spare small note to buy things. “Business man” seems not keen to do business with you if you come with “big” notes like 50 ringgit notes…

I quite understand and I always keep some small notes but some time will run out of small notes too, Guess what had happened when I run out small notes?

News Paper
I wanted to buy news paper. I always go to that same stall to buy news paper, one of the mornings, I run out small notes and I ask the boss if they have the change, guess what? The “boss” ask me to buy news paper elsewhere??? I felt unbelievable, and as he wishes, now I buy me news paper elsewhere as he wish.

Sweet Corn
I love sweet corn, and I always buy at the same stall too every Thursday in “pasar malam”, yeah, come to this special day that co-incidentally I run out small notes again.
Hahaha…. The boss said: “you go else where to buy something first, get your note changed and then only you come and buy from me”. Hahaha….. I just laugh and left.

Lucky not everyone is like that. Another stall that I always visit in the morning for my breakfast, the lady boss said, no worry, you take it first, pay her later, doesn’t matter.
Hahaha… now I become a “loyal fans” for her.

New Year Resolution - be a better man

We are always leaning, learning and learning to be a better person.

I was facing a lot of problems in my work recently especially dealing with my colleague in China.

I was upset, disappointed and angry with him; I was keeping on thinking on the recent happenings, day and night, and get stressed up, when stressed up, my brain could not operate

Many things happened and came to one of the order confirmation, I was almost replying in this way:
“It is obviously your typing mistake; it is very difficult for you to admit the error? I don’t understand what you trying to prove in your email; anyhow, I had learnt from the previous lesson that everything must make it clear from you guys and must have a black and white from you guys too..”

About to click “send”, I hold back and went to wash room.

When I get back to my work station; thanks God, I noticed it wasn’t sounds good. The way I reply could “fire up” my colleague in China. I deleted all and replied in another way:

“Thanks for your clarification, it is always best to clarify in order to have the correct understanding, May I have your official PO please?.”

Don’t you think this is better? Yeah, I know it is just small tiny matter you could say. But our life is just full of all this small tiny things, and sometime, some word from others (unintentionally) hurts us. And we think, can’t they express in a better way?

Whatever I wish how others ppl treat me, let’s start with myself.

My 2009 New Year resolution, be a better man. (man = "ren" = human being), lol….
And am not afraid of any problem, but pray to be wiser in handling any situation.

Happy New Year!!
