Sleepless-ness II

3rd post for the night (or morning). This has to be some sort of record. No prizes for content though, but who cares..

All I wanna say is that, I am still awake. And, I was right, there is a frothy housing market somewhat here. Not a bubble, but certainly frothy.

And wtf is this?

SHAH ALAM, Sept 1 – Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad said today that he supports the federal government’s decision to give out “duit raya” for civil servants but pointed out that the payment would cost more than RM900 million, which is more than the RM750 million the Najib administration had saved by cutting subsidies this year.

Typical. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Undilah kerajaan Barisan Nasional.

Sleepless-ness…

Shit, I can’t sleep, shouldnt have drank that vietnemese coffee…:(

It’s Friday night. Or rather Saturday morning. It’s already the weekend.

I should be savoring this moment after a week’s work. Instead, the only thing I can think off is whether yields will continue rallying on Monday. I swear to God, if the 10 year hits 3.65, I’ll sell…

Maybe I need a new job.

Another attempt…

Been neglecting this since last year…

Let’s try this again. This time, Im not even gonna think. Im just gonna rant…

Secrets To Stress-Proof-Ness

Max is practically stress proof.

I dont crumble under pressure. In fact, I thrive on it. Pressure to me is akin to blood for a vampire.

I don’t wince, shrink, flinch or whine. I am as cold as you get when it comes down to the wire.

In another life, I would be an assassin. The best in the world. I’d be able to kill someone just by looking at ‘em. Especially Malay men.

But today, I am in a good mood. So, I’m sharing my secrets with everyone:-

1. Compartmentalize – learn to differentiate between business and personal dealings. It is a fine line for most people. But a good starting point would be, don’t take everything personally. Not everyone is after your head. Most people really have better things to do than to find ways to insult you. If you take it as an insult, it will be an insult regardless. Everything is relative.

2. Cut loss – You’ve made a mistake? So what? Move on. We live to fight another day.

3. Everyone is selfish (including you) - Selfishness is central to capitalism. If you understand that everyone is only taking certain actions because he/she thinks its best, then you wont spend 3/4 of your time thinking that that person is out to destroy your life. If you say you dont believe in capitalism, give me your salary. I earn less than everyone.

4. Pride- You know what they say about pride? FUCK PRIDE (Marcellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction). Pride and ego is the biggest stumbling block to happiness and stress free ness. Lets think about it, what exactly is the upside of having pride? It has absolutely no value. What is it worth? NOTHING!!!!

Which brings me to my final and most important point…

5. Learn to admit defeat- When faced with Max, be prepared to bow down to my superiority. It will be less painful for you….
