I got this email from Zafri a few weeks ago. You know when you got a lot of emails that you just keep it and said i'll read it later. Well today i didn't go back home for my lunch instead i run thu my old emails and found this one interesting email. its about aging and how we perceive our age. OKlah, tengok sendirilah.
George Carlin's Views on Aging
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old iswhen we're kids?
If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions."How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and ahalf. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the keyYou get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the nextnumber, or even a few ahead.
"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . you become 21. Even thewords sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21.
YESSSS!!!But then you turn 30.
Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like badmilk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just asour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams aregone.But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60 .
You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-daything; you HIT Wednesday!You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; youTURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92"Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a littlekid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Letthe doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them."
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, music, art, stock,gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil'sworkshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who iswith us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county;to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the momentsthat take our breath away.

An unfortunate event
I wrote this a week ago, but internet kat campus teruk so i just save it and here it is
Something happen in Bintulu these last few days. On Friday a Chinese woman found dead in Tg Batu , lying dead on the seashore. She was found dead by a cleaner in the wee morning. Cause of death = not known.
The yesterday another incident happen in Taman Lihua just nearby the Campus. A Foreign man married to a local women ran amok after a fatal financial argument.
The man then stab his wife at the back and then caught his son and nephew ( wife side) hostage until today. This morning when I drive back from the Immigration there was a road block , so I have to turn back and use another way to reach back and later find out from our Guard that the foreign guy was gun down and died instantly ( wah pandai aku menambah perisa ni).
Apalah nak jadi with the world nowadays. Unfortunate events happen almost everyday. Killing, Raping , molestation , robbery and many more and these we se, happens everday on TV but when it happen in front of our face , next to our place or even to us,, what may be think????????.
BE CAUTIOUS EVERYONE. ….. AND PEACE ON EARTH.
THE LAST ONE TO KNOW
Sometimes I wonder whether I am too strict with my subordinates, because I hardly hear anything from them, no complaints no nothing like as if things runs as smoothly regardless if there’s any problem or not.
There are times that they would be discussing about a matter among themselves and when I do ask what is it about, they would keep quiet, and act as if nothing is the matter. GOSH I don’t understand these people. FRUSTRATING ???…. Well not really but it would be nice to be told and not be the last one to know about the matter.
That’s y sometimes I do ask myself, was it me or was it them. Was I’m being too blunt that no body could penetrate to me or was I just being to superior that its kinda hard for them to discuss things with me, that would include my 40 plus year old staff as well. ORRRR…. maybe my traits of being an executive in a plantation especially when I was in BAL ( A well known British Company) still within me. I remember when I was in the Plantation we( the executives) would be asked to exclude ourselves from our staff and workers. We would have our own houses far-far away from them and it would be only during festive season that we could mingle.
I guess that’s what happen during the British Colony whereby all races and cast were segregated ,so that no interaction comes within them it Malay they call it Masyarakat Majmuk, during my time with BAL we are for bided to go and mingle with the worker what more to stay and eat in their houses which I always did because I grew up in BAL and that mostly the workers in BAL are my friends or my family close friends, but being a teenage and a rebellious guy I never bother of any of the bosses remarks.
I guess I was the example of what the British trying to avoid. A boy came from their lower colony ,grew up and made it in the industry and finally penetrated himself in the Management level and later having a hard time familiarizing himself with the whole situation.
Then, when I crush myself out of the Industry, then realizing that I am a different breed altogether. I have this human skill that differs myself from other people but at that time the skill were merely autocrat, and a lot of my ways are forceful. People around me just couldn’t argue with me because somehow or rather I would be right ( but I guess that has something to do with being born in the year of the Monkey) and as what Fadzilah says Allan ni selalu saja nak menang …. But I do accept it when I did wrong because I learn that the hard way ( I told you about it in time).
So ……. Is it bad to be the last one to know…… well.. there’s pro and cons but if you ask me, It would be nice to be the first one to know in order for me to think ways and means to settle troubled things and not to face bigger and larger trouble because it would take more thinking to solve it. SUSAH SUSAH………

A 4 STAR HOTEL
Guess where i am now, im at Mukah Kingwood hotel and Resort. Punyalah jauh this place , actually the place is not that far from Bintulu but the road is terrible. All the way you can see Oil Palm Estates , macam Tawau lah pulak kan. On the way yesterday i saw an Oil Palm Supervisor pakai seluar pendek .... Teringat aku masa aku kerja di Taiko and Bal Plantation.
Kingwood Hotel and Resort......... a good place situated around half and hour from Mukah Town and around 3 and a half hour from Bintulu. Actually it would only took around a less than a few hours but the road is terrible but hopefully when the new road is ready it doesn't really took that long.
Anyway the hotel food is terrible and yang hebatnye last night Dr Joseph found a cockroach inside the water container means all the people here drank cockroach water hehehe nasib baik semalam aku tak sempat nak minum kan tapi semalam rosli made a squirk after i told him that he drank the air lipasssssss....... makin sihatlah si Rosli nanti.
Lepas tu the food is terrible........ dahlah breafast pagi tadi tak cukup. Kueh teow goreng pun kering. Lagi sedap aku masakkan. Gosh when is the nightmare going to end.
Oklah i nak stop dulu, actually i type a long list just now that the internet here is cam sial heheh so terdelete.
