Ironically this whole month has been about RICE.

I have not eaten rice for quite a while simply because I don't want to get fat/gemok. (remember my previous article?)

And I thought that was enough of RICE when suddenly this company I'm working with decided to be SMART and introduced the RICE format for us to comply to and apply the format when writing our Year End Appraisal.

In short, they are making our lives more miserable and menyusahkan kami and further complicate things which could have been better off if kept simple. ( In the corporate world, complicated systems and proposals are somehow thought to be SMARTER).

Hang-Out Rules, So UNCOOL.

It amazes me that there are still 'So called adults' in this world who actually imposes unnecessary rules in a 'simple hang-out session'.

I have been hanging out with many different groups for so many years, but a recent hang-out session with a particular group actually held me speechless . (tergamam siot)

While most 'hang-out sessions' are usually

a) free and easy,
b) a gathering to relax and ease off your overused minds and
c) act as an avenue to discuss topics or express creative ideas,

this particular 'hangout-session' is rather strenuous as it has a lot of Dos and Don'ts. Unbelievable. (I know! Hell yeah what the f***?)

Somewhat High School.

Well, there is a saying " When you're in Rome, act as a Roman and do as the Romans says".

Apakah? Sangat tidak berkembang.

So as for me, I'm saying " Fuck It. If you don't like Rome, get out and go to other places..there's so many other places Spain, Vegas etc blablabla".

So yeah, I'm leaving Rome.

So long, farewell.

Questions

Do you know how it feels like when you have so many questions to ask, but you are afraid of asking them?

Simply because you are afraid of the outcome- one that doesn't turn out the way you want it to be.

Fear that should the questions be asked, it will change your comfortable life. It might change things from what it used to be, the way you prefer it to be.

And because of that, you leave the questions not being asked.

And you'll just live your life not knowing.

So yeah.
