We had a scheduled 69 days stay in Cape Verde for project implementation, so it was crucial that we nailed the accommodations right from the start.

It’s crucial because as in the past projects, we can expect stressful & long working hours โ€“ so we will always be looking forward towards to a cosy warm bed, a clean room and a minimum room . Usually, for long term working days, we will arrange for an apartment so that we have a common room & kitchen but renting a house or apartment for a short period in Cape Verde was not feasible. Further of the expected long working hours, it will be tiring if we expect to come back & clean up the apartment as well.

Know Your Car Basics 101: Looking for the Best Car Service Center?

(The last thing you expect to see in a car centre. Image source: Pinterest)

It is heartening to hear that has come up with a 60 minutes express service but in my opinion, they should have done this a long time ago.

Sending your car for car service can be a sticky thing. When you buy a new car and if you think the car as something that gets you from A to B, you probably will not be so worried of sending your car for the periodic service (some of you may even get your dad or brother to send the car for service on your behalf).

Attitude 101: Being Polite Part 1

(How often you have impatient & impolite people behind the counter treating you like you owe them something?)

Just the other day, I watched the movie โ€œInvictusโ€ and noticed that (excellently acted by Morgan Freeman) was a very man. He was courteous and well mannered even to his โ€œex-enemiesโ€.

In case you missed , the movie was about a leader who was trying to get his country united – bringing people from various background, culture and as one nation (this movie should be watched by some so-called leaders in Malaysia โ€“ they can learn a thing or two if their ego is not bigger than their brain) through the game of rugby (played by a majority white).
