Ahhh 2011 , and it's already April ! Gosh, how time flies. Looking back at the last post , it is evident that I am guilty of updates for the past 3 months. I concede. Guilty as charged. But again , in my defence , I would like to point out that there is basically not much happenings in the past few months, hence the lack of updates :D. Excuses much .. hmm human nature.
Alright , moving right along ~ So, what has really been going on ? After I resigned from my last job , I quickly shifted to another job that is as a mobile phone accessories reseller at New World Park , which is quite a nice job that pays handsomely ( rm 1 k per month ,for just 6 hours per day and 5 days per week ) *why did I even think of quitting ? ! damnation! *
But alas, my inquisitive nature to experience and explore other jobs lead me to quit.. errr change job to my present job . *Excuses again ! * I wonder if it's just me or I just cannot stand working long at a job, any job . It seems that anything I do would bore me after a short while and would leave me thinking of going for other alternatives by any means necessary.In fact, I once point out that I am changing job every month and hope to do so for the months to come, leading my friend to remark that I am a job-hopper.Then again,is this really a bad thing ? No doubt if i just leave suddenly , some employers will be left without work force and I have responsibility to perform and commit to the job for a certain period of time,but if I prepared other people to fill in my void in my absence, wouldn't that be alright ? :D .Moreover,if I did successfully change jobs every month , it would mean that by the end of tis year , or more precisely in September, I would have ventured into 9 different careers , gaining valuable insights and experiences from diverse jobs . Also, I would be able to disprove the popular notion regarding lack of job opportunities . Who is to say that there are no jobs if I have successfully changed jobs every month until September ?
But of course... all these are just extrapolations ... logical guesses made from creative deduction with a little surplus of imagination :D .Anyway, presently I am working at Kumon Learning Center as a teaching assistant. Teaching assistant , which means I will be teaching right? Nope. Dead wrong. Apparently there are only two teachers there, and all we part timers so called teaching assistants will do are just helping to mark their worksheets .. Sounds easy? Nope. Wrong again. The working experience there might be nice at first because , firstly I only work for 4 hours but after awhile .. like everything else I ventured in previously , it got boring .
Worse still , at Kumon, they truly believe silence is golden and hence, we are not allowed of communication even if we sit side by side. Hence, it's a dreadful ,torturous 4 hours of silence everytime I work... Now I kinda miss my old jobs , Sigh , communications ~ But all in all , I would say that there are perks working there. Now at the very least I can proudly claim that I have been called a teacher ! *even though i rarely teach .. but hey answering questions when they are directed to u counts right? :D * And the system and method of learning they adapted is truly one to marvel with . I am amazed . And of course, as usual , I am exaggerating.. we do talk sometimes but only at minimal volume and for a very short interval . By the way , working there have really opened my eyes to the world of kids today.
It's unbelievable how they act nowadays. What's with the advanced gizmos like iphone 4 doing in the hand of a small , young 7 year old kid? Gosh what are those parents thinking today -.- . Maybe they have been pampered too much to the extend that they think it's their rights to demand everything from everyone in this world.Now , I wonder what kind of people they will grow up into... Oh wait , that reminds me .. remember those egoistic , think-they-deserve-it-all people that I ranted about several posts earlier? Now I can see where they came from ;).
Anyway, I do not think that I will change jobs after this eventhough I really wanted to . I am not really satisfied but when I started working , I already told my employer that I would be able to work until June at worst , and September as best . Not that there is any contract preventing me from resigning but it wouldn't do my conscience any good if I just left suddenly right? Oh well.. guess I am stuck with it for now. Like it or loathe it , I still have to work.. so might as well find a job with least working time so that I can use the other time productively right? :D

Talking about free time... What do you people do during your free time ? I mean, of course apart from the studying *if you are still studying * and events * you can't possibly have events everyday right? wait... can you ? * And don't you even begin to say online, facebook and games. Sigh, where are you productive teenagers ? What are u all doing , really ?
Recently , I am kinda frustrated at communication tools such as msn and facebook. Not at the system and tools themselves, but more to the people using it. I am utterly confused as to why some people might choose to reply you in a nonchalant manner. Almost as if they thinks you are interested in them and choose to play hard to get and reply u and entertaining u only when it suits their mood and purpose.
I know, I might be a little bit too paranoid over this and it might be the overthinking but still I can't help but feel those bad vibes coming from them ,and yeah , I have been generally good with my instincts when it comes to sensing vibes . I fail to understand how they are so self-centered in thinking they are so important and significant that the whole world needs to know about them and serve them in any means possible . It is pathetic and outright deplorable and despicable.
Bawh, but again, maybe it's because of my bad experiences of dealing with these type of people that make me thinks too much but if this goes on , I guess the best possible solution is to cease communication with them and just ignore it :) . I am getting rather tired of connecting with people who are reluctant to communicate yet expecting the rest to know it all .Pff guess I shall go into some isolation period for some time ;D

On a lighter note , my latest obsession lately have been bodybuilding and recently , I have been able to borrow a very nice book courtesy to my good friend working in Borders. The mentioned book is 4 hour body by timothy ferriss , the tagline of the book caught my attention "an uncommon guide to rapid fat loss, incredible sex and becoming superhuman " err.. skip the sex part k , i borrowed the book for the building body guide and oh, of course to become superhuman as well. xD
Here are some of the excerpts from this book ..
"1 . Is it possible that the arrow of causality is reversed ? i.e : do people who are naturally ripped often choose to be sprinters? Yep.
2.Are we mixing up presence and absence? i.e : people claim that no-meat diet extends average lifespan 5-15%,is it possible that the presence of more vegetables, not absence of meat that extends lifespan? Yep
The point isn't to speculate about hundreds of possible explanation , the point is to be skeptical . Correlation does not equal causality . Be skeptical when people tell u A causes B . Most likely they are wrong much more than 50% of the time . "
- from the chapter Rules that change rules.
"The minimum effective dose ( MED ) is defined simply : the smallest dose that will produce desired outcome . Anything beyond MED is wasteful . i.e to boil water the MED is 100 °CHigher temperature will not make it "more boiled". If u need 15 minutes in the sun to trigger melanin response, 15 minutes is ur MED for tanning . More than that is redundant . "
-from the chapter Minimum Effective Dose.
This book is highly recommendable and will definitely be worth reading . Try it ! Alright , that's all for now.. until the next mood swing to impromptu blogging ! Tee Hee ! XD
