FORUM: CIVIL SERVICE EXCELLENCE: QUALITY VS QUANTITY

Need to study ma! Details of the talk is as shown below:

CIVIL SERVICE EXCELLENCE: QUALITY VS QUANTITY

“The Government must hence take the painful but very important step of trimming the civil service sector into a leaner and more efficient “machine”. The increase in pay will be a waste of public funds, if the move is not accompanied by a corresponding increase in civil service productivity.” Tony Pua

“ Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO mendesak Pua dan DAP mengambil langkah memperbetulkan kata-kata mereka yang langsung tidak bertimbang rasa dan begitu menghina sekali.”

“Pua’s negative comments about the civil service can cause considerable damage to the morale and image of the public sector.” Khairy Jamaluddin

Panel of Distinguished Speakers:

· YB Lim Kit Siang, Parliamentary Opposition Leader

· Lim Guan Eng, DAP Secretary General

· Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, PKR Treasurer

Deq's Wedding

A friend of mine got married yesterday. Congratulations to Heydeq (not her real name of course!) and her husband Raihan on their matrimonial. May both of them have long and wonderful marriage.

Captain Jack Returns

Went to see the movie last friday. And the verdict - IT WAS AWESOME! Not as many wittiness as the previous Pirates of the Caribbean series but overall, the action and storyline was better. It just show that you can't trust any pirates. They just tend to screw you over. Captain Jack Sparrow return from the dead in this movie. Plus we now know how why Davy Jones cut his heart out. All i wan't to recommend, GO WATCH THIS MOVIE! NOW!

Paintball or Painball

Paintball - A sport in which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs (spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye) shot from a compressed-gas-powered gun, commonly called a marker. (source: wikipedia)

I've started playing paintball about a month ago. And now i have developed a love for it. I guess anyone of you who haven't played it before, you should go and play it. Gather your friends and just go to one of many arenas and start shooting at each other. Several place that you play this game is Xtion Paintball Park, TT Sports Park, Mudtrekker Paintball, Rimba Harmonis and Dusun Ali King among others. Personally i've played in Rimba Harmonis and Dusun Ali King.

Another game will be planned probably after my CFA exam. Probably will go to Mudtrekker. They have an urban scenario arena. Might be interesting. Previously both place i've played is a jungle scenario.

Top Five...High Fidelity..

After watching High Fidelity, i decided to compile my top 5 movie of all time. This is inspired by John Cusack in the movie, who keep making up top 5 of every bloody thing that has to do with his life. Breakups, song, why he misses his ex and etc. I'm not gonna share that with the all of you now. But i'll share my top 5 movies of all time. Behold:

5. High Fidelity

4. Saving Private Ryan

3. Reservoir Dogs

2. The Shawshank Redemption

1. The Godfather Part II

Mind you that this list will be constantly updated whenever a worthy movie comes along. Also mind that the list is based on movies that i have watched.

What say you people?

p.s- more top 5 will come later..just you wait

I'm angry at someone

Have any of you ever been angry but you dunno you angry at what? I guess maybe some of you experienced this weird thing before. Maybe you haven't but honestly its not a good feeling. As a result i drove for about 2 hours without knowing where i'm going. Maybe this got to do with so many relationship problems that my friends are having now. It's a bad past two month. This make me glad that i'm not in a relationship now. In a certain way, it made me think that women are a complicated being. Maybe thats why men are women are meant to be together. They complement each other. What i'm trying to say is that, don't be gay. Hahahahahahha. Nah, do whatever you like as long you are happy. Enjoy your day.

The Beginning

After 3 years of occasional blogging, i have decided to blog more often and chronicle my life. It is not that my life is interesting or anything, it's just that i think i should write something to share my opinion. You might want to read it, but if you opt no to, what the hell. It is my blog anyway. Feel free to come and visit the site or if you find it boring you can just go masturbate or do whatever that makes you feel better. Till the next post, adios!
