No Time! NO TIME!! NO TIME!!!!

aren’t those the words we often hear or use.  usually used as excuses but darn good ones to be used. until you realised, it’s not that you have no time. it’s just that it was utilised properly. by then it’s too late. time waits for no one.

i’m amongst those guilty of this crime. i always use it as a cover for my lazy attitude. i use it when i don’t want to go out and exercise. i use it when i don’t want to go meet people(that for reasons only known to me) that i don’t feel like meeting. i use it for a whole load of other occasions, just because, it’s a darn good reason to be used.

well, i’m trying to break this habit. and damn, it’s hard to break. can someone teach me how to break a habit that’s been molded for more than 10, maybe 20 years?

i do not usually like to link up other people’s post but this is a good read.

this is an excerpts from the article which i agree with the most;

Rule Two: People are Motivated by Selfish Altruism

To say all behavior is strictly selfish would be misleading. It fails to account for acts of charity, ethics and why people don’t just cheat, swindle and lie all the time. Selfish altruism is a broader category that covers why people do nice things as a way to get what they want.

By studying primates, researchers noticed four main categories of selfish altruism. I believe they are the same categories we use, even if slightly more sophisticated:
Dominance - Some primates will give help as a way of asserting dominance in the group. It is as if they are saying, “Look at how powerful I am that I can give some of my resources to help you.”
Reciprocity - You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. The idea is that I do a favor for you with the assumption it will be returned one day. If the cost to me is less than the benefit towards you, I might help you even if I can’t predict an immediate payback.
Trade - If we both have something the other person wants, we have a reason to interact. While reciprocity is vague on the details of a payback, trade is direct.
Familial - It makes sense, from an evolutionary perspective, to help those who might share your genes.

By looking through this lens of selfish altruism, you can better make decisions. Viewing people as completely uncaring or selfish is incomplete. But expecting people to think of you constantly and do nice things for free is dangerous.

other than that, my dear little sis has finally moved on with her life and has gotten something which may turn out to be just oh so wonderful for her. i can’t help but feel happy for her. in the midst of all the happiness, i just can’t help poking fun of her for it. it’s just too damn bloody irresistable. my bad, kid!! :p

not all bad news though. i had an amazing time during the last weekend of july.attended my friend’s wedding in KL but, the highlight of it was the gathering i had with my friends. it has been ages since i’ve met up with them and it sure is good to meet up with them again. annie’s little girl was bloody cute. so much so that i’ve ended up calling annie and her hubby my future in laws.  but i’ll have to wait another 18-19 years for her to be of age. lol!! i really have to make it a point to hang out with my old buddies more often. it just isn’t the same at all. no wonder i enjoy their company so much. despite being out of touch for so long, it doesn’t show at all.best of all, they are all a bunch of people who aren’t hypocritical at all. they say shit right to your face. they truly are a bunch of mates for life. unlike the ball sucking friends i have over here. i don’t mean all of them are ball suckers but most are anyway. that explains why i just can’t seem to totally let go and have fun with them here.

not to mention that this hasn’t been a great week for me at all. crap cropping up at work, and not to mention my life. i’m also without my laptop, which i’ve finally gotten sent for servicing. nice timing though since it only has a month of warranty left. i’ve always thought that you should never send someone else to do a job for you, and once again, i was right on that. got a colleague to cover some work for me, lo and behold, practically nothing done. even when instructions were clear cut enough. maybe next time, i should spell out everything down to the smallest details and add in pictorials and screenshots as well. then again, god forbids that i ever send someone else to run tasks for me ever again.

the whole country may be rejoicing, almost every turd head maybe going “yay holiday tomorrow” but i sure don’t feel the mood at all. first up, i still have to work, doing totally meaningless and retarded standby which in my opinion does not need my presense at all. well, not that i have anything important on tomorrow but i’d appreciate it if i could just get my day off like almost everyone else. sorry folks at hotels and f&b outlets. i share you pain….

it’s late, i’m still awake. i crashed a switch and now i’m off to bed.

These shots are taken using my Canon S5 iS with the help of a camera hack tool called CHDK.
i’m still very new to it and there’s quite a few other options/functions to play around with.it’s kinda cool,so try it out if you are an owner of Canon cameras, but do check to see if your camera is supported or not first.

these are very amateurish shots.. but hey, this is my first try.
