Mind your language...

Today I was subjected to the BULATS assessment in the form of computer based test and speaking test.

This exercise was part of our effort to become a Knowledge Based Organisation. And as part of a concerted effort to continually improve English proficiency, the management has decided for us to conduct language audit at all levels, which will be carried out in phases. The first phase of this assessment will commence with Deputy Directors and Managers.

I hope there is value added to this exercise. Hopefully, we will ultimately uplift the overall level of English proficiency at our work place. The result will be announced soon. Hopefully I do not have to go for extra classes to improve my English.

Today Sara and I decided to go to the spa for a massage.

Nik Hasnah has already booked Pipah for the whole of the afternoon. I had my traditional massage and on Nik Hasnah's recommendation, Sara had aromatherapy massage instead. We planned to go shopping after the massage but decided not to as it was raining very heavily.

Late at night hubby called from the airport. He had just arrived with my favorite murtabak and ayam percik...

Today I went to the spa for a round of pleasure treats.

Ordered some Raya biscuits from Joana. Hopefully I could get them before Deepavali. Sara was still asleep when I got back. Prepared cucur udang for berbuka. Went to solat terawih with Sara at Masjid Al-Firdaus. After solat had another round of cucur udang and lemonade while watching some movies on Astro.

Earlier this afternoon I snapped a few pics of our new apartment. Sri Putramas is almost completed. They even have a private access road to the apartments. I know I'm going to love this place ...

Demented soul...

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius..."

(Stay away from crazy people)

The wrath of blind hatred
Devolve into self-parody
Indulge in menace of evil
And plunge unjust jealousy

Or is this a form of madness?
A loathing of the loathing self
A sadness yet to be expressed
That diminishes one own worth

Venom crawl beneath the skin
These wounds they will not go

Just look into these eyes
The fear will not show

Find a scapegoat...

"Curses are like processions. They return to the place from which they came…” - Giovanni Ruffini

Trust is a very important factor for all relationships.

When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger and anger causes enmity. We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive others, others will ignore our mistake too. We often forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

My thoughts are not yours
Nor is your way always mine
And so it is not you I seek
And not you to whom I care
