Attitude 101: A Simple Thank You Reduces Road Tension

(Thumbs up as a sign of thank you instead of the middle finger is always welcomed on a stressful drive home, more so after doing a good deed instead of being a nuisance to fellow road users. Image source: Pinterest)

How many times you have said “Thank You” to someone else today, two days ago, a week ago or a month ago?

Health 101: Wake Up Early & Live Longer

(We all need our 8 hours of sleep and sometimes more but try to wake up early every morning as it has it’s own advantages too. Image source: here)

I had an interesting chat with a colleague of mine almost a month ago who noticed me coming to the office very early in the morning. He mentioned that by doing that I would be living longer by doing this.

Driving Skills 101: Queue Jumper’s Unnecessary Provocations

(The “usual” provocations from the queue jumpers at the toll plaza – the traffic moves faster if everyone queues up and wait for their turn. Imagine what happens if one idiot decides to drive between the proper queues and tries to cut in. Before you know it, another line had formed in between the 2 original lines and the traffic comes to a crawl. Image source: Challenging Coaching)

Trip to Brunei – Part 2

Been having pork dishes for the last 2 days…

(Spicy chicken curry with a different)

I have been busy with work but surprisingly the drive to work and back was not as stressful as one would experience in KL. Even at peak hours, there is hardly any traffic jam and driving has been a breeze.… [Click to read the rest] “Trip to Brunei – Part 2”

Oh Fuck! Aftermath

Got a call from my cousin on Friday night

(At about RM23 per pint, the German beer that we had last week was one of the smoothest – we have found our watering hole for premium beers)

Cousin: Hello bro, I am stuck in traffic jam and I am still near my office.… [Click to read the rest] “Oh Fuck! Aftermath”

Religion 101: Thaipusam Scary Trip to Batu Caves 2009 Part 1

(Batu Caves – best visited on any day except on Thaipusam. Less crowd and easy parking but a big miss on interesting kavadis. Image source: http://www.malaysiasite.nl)

It is has been a long weekend for me. We managed to get some outstanding things done during the holidays but it comes at a price – body aching and foot pain. It gets worse once I reached the office, only to find urgent things to be done in the next 2 days and a meeting scheduled at night in KL.
