MJ, 1958-2009

For all the souls he has touched..

And all the lives he has changed..

To the King of Pop..

His moves will forever defy gravity..

His music will forever defy time..

Michael Jackson..

And to his long awaited peace..

Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.

- Kalaa Devi

Wow..

I have not gamed on my laptop for over a week..

Suddenly 24 hours does not suffice..

Vesuvius

Mauna Loa; the most active volcano in the world. But unlike Mauna Loa which releases build-up pressure through continuous and small eruptions, I erupt like Vesuvius. Pressure is built up to unbelievable proportions, and when it is finally let loose through a small crack in the mountain, all hell is let loose!

I've been laying dormant for 5 months. Today i erupted! And buried my so-called "Head of Department" with ash and molten lava!

Some people can't communicate well.
Some people can't manage people well.
Some people can't listen well.
Some people can't understand well.

But what are the odds you can find one who has all 4 flaws? I did..

So what if she's higher ranked than me?
So what if she's older than me?
So what shes been working there for years compared to my 10 months?
So what if she has better relations with the management of the college?

I'm not afraid to get fired. The way I see it, all the above doesn't matter because she is just way way dumber than me.

After the onslaught, she tried to talk to me, but I didn't want to have any of it. Because of my eruption, I could not go and donate blood, which I planned to do; pressure still high.

Her last ditch effort to save her face was to say; Rubern, you are still a small boy...

Boy..what a mistake.. Fortunately for her, in that moment her words wasnt being interpretated by my brain and only did after she left.

Small boy? Age is just a number. I have the same qualifications as her. And since shes dumb, her experience counts for nothing. The way I see it, this is a small boy you can't handle. And you expect yourself to be able to handle more senior staffs comprising of even PhD holders. Good luck!

You have lost all my respect as a colleague. I hope you find salvation in whatever remnants you find of your lost Pompei...

Joy-sucker!

Perfect Killer

A virus.. Nature's ultimate killer.. So lethal no other means can be ever more dangerous..

Though it is a matter of debate ever a virus is a living or non-living organism, there is no doubt of its reputation. Ebola, Spanish Flu, The Black Plague, Avian Flu, and now Swine Flu.

A virus is able to swap genes and RNA codes with its host and other viruses. This alone is its most powerful weapon. A killer that is able to adapt to its environment and spread at maximum rate by only choosing the genes it needs.

We mite think we are safe because Mexico is so far away. But with today's transportation system, the world has been shrunk to a puny metropolis. If a pandemic is to follow, nothing can stop it.

And so I pray it does not happen. Because mankind is still ill-prepared to deal with 'the next big one'. We are still busy fighting amongst ourselves to notice that we could be at the start of a total wipe out.

Cashless

I am officially cashless.. Zero Ringgit in my wallet.. Spent the last RM16 on a Grilled Pari Fish to share with my parents. Only good food can calm nerves in my family.. Its a curse and a blessing.. Watched Ayyan with them too.. Yes, a Tamil movie! My office colleagues are surely gonna freak! :p
